Offerors must submit up to three (3) past performance references for projects of similar scope, complexity, and scale completed within the last five (5) years.

References must demonstrate experience working in active industrial or hazardous environments

(e.g., fuel depots, LP gas operations, gas vaporizers).

Illnesses") for each calendar year from 2021 through 2026.

3.

4(c)(4)(i)(B), the contract price for the production and delivery of designs, plans, drawings, and specifications (CLIN 0001) shall not exceed six percent (6%) of the estimated cost of the physical construction (CLIN 0002).

Schedule of Values (SOV): The Offeror shall provide a detailed SOV breaking down the labor, materials, overhead, and profit for both CLIN 0001 and CLIN 0002 to demonstrate compliance with this statutory limitation and to ensure pricing is not unbalanced.

Basis for Contract Award

This is a competitive, best-value tradeoff source selection conducted in accordance with FAR

Part 15. The Government intends to award a single contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose proposal represents the best overall value, price and non-price factors considered.

The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced proposal where the technical and/or past performance superiority of a higher-priced proposal warrants the additional cost. Conversely, the Government will not pay a significantly higher price for marginal technical superiority.

Relative Importance of Evaluation Factors

All evaluation factors are listed below in descending order of importance:

1. Factor 1: Technical Capability (More important than Past Performance)

2. Factor 2: Past Performance & Corporate Safety

3. Factor 3: Price

Within Factor 1 (Technical Capability), the sub-factors are of equal importance:

Sub-factor 1: Design & Construction Approach

Sub-factor 2: Key Personnel Qualifications

Sub-factor 3: Environmental Management Plan

When combined, Factor 1 (Technical Capability) and Factor 2 (Past Performance) are significantly more important than Factor 3 (Price). However, as proposals become more equal in technical merit and past performance, the relative importance of Price will increase.

Evaluation Methodology

Factor 1: Technical Capability Evaluation

The Government will evaluate the Technical Volume to assess the feasibility, completeness, safety compliance, and overall risk of the offeror's proposed approach. Adherence to all specified

NFPA/ASME standards and the integrated execution of the Soil Management Plan (SMP) will be key evaluation metrics. Technical proposals will be assigned an Adjectival Rating based on the following scale:

Technical

Rating Description

Outstanding

Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is extremely low.

Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Acceptable

Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal

Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or contains one or more weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies.

Proposal is unawardable.

Factor 2: Past Performance & Corporate Safety Evaluation

The Government will evaluate the relevance, currency, and quality of the offeror's past performance to assign a Performance Confidence Assessment rating.

Relevance: Focuses on the similarity of scope, size, and complexity (specifically design-build contracts in active hazardous environments and contaminated soil remediation).

Safety & Health Record Assessment: The Government will evaluate the offeror’s Safety

History (EMR, OSHA Forms 300/300A, and citation history) to determine the contractor's commitment to workplace safety and risk mitigation.

An EMR greater than 1.00, a high trend of recordable injuries on OSHA logs, or unresolved safety/environmental violations within the last five (5) years may be assessed as a performance risk, which could negatively impact the overall Performance Confidence Assessment rating.

Offerors who demonstrate a proactive safety culture, low incident rates, and an EMR below 1.00 will be evaluated favorably.

Confidence Rating Scale:

Substantial Confidence: High level of confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence: Reasonable expectation of successful performance.

Neutral Confidence: No recent/relevant performance record. Evaluated neither favorably nor unfavorably.

Limited Confidence: Low expectation of successful performance.

No Confidence: Extremely low expectation of successful performance.

Factor 3: Price Evaluation

Proposed prices will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR

15.404-1.

Reasonableness and Balance: The Government will evaluate the proposed prices for CLIN

0001 and CLIN 0002 to determine fair and reasonable pricing. The Government will also analyze the pricing for unbalanced line items; a proposal may be rejected if CLIN 0001 (Design) is determined to be front-loaded or materially unbalanced relative to CLIN 0002 (Construction).

Statutory Compliance: The Government will evaluate CLIN 0001 to ensure the proposed fee for Architect-Engineer design services does not exceed the 6% statutory limitation based on the estimated construction cost. Proposals failing to comply with this statutory ceiling are un awardable.

PHASED NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP) FOR DESIGN-BUILD

1. Design NTP: Upon award, the Contracting Officer will issue the Notice to Proceed for

CLIN 0001 (Design Services) only.

2. Construction NTP Hold: The Contractor shall NOT commence any physical construction, site preparation, or material procurement under CLIN 0002 (Construction Build) until the

Government has formally reviewed, accepted, and approved the 100% final design documents submitted under CLIN 0001.

3. Construction NTP Issuance: Following final design approval, the Contracting Officer will issue a separate, written Notice to Proceed for CLIN 0002. Any construction work performed prior to the issuance of the CLIN 0002 NTP is at the Contractor's own risk and expense.

Contractors shall notify the Safety office points of contact below to report completion of the required training via email. The email shall include the contractor employee’s name, work site, and contract number.

It is expected that contractor employees will have received training from their employer on hazards associated with the areas in which they will be working and know what to do in order to protect themselves. Contractors are required to adhere to the requirements of 29 CFR 1910, 29

CFR 1926 and applicable state and local requirements while in Government spaces. The contractor shall ensure that all on-site contractor work at the Government facility is in accordance with any local safety instructions as provided via the COR.
