AUTEC Base Andros Island Specific Guidance

In accordance with current Navy and CDC guidance, mask wear for FULLY IMMUNIZED personnel is no longer required indoors or outdoors onboard AUTEC effective immediately with the exceptions as listed below.

If you are not immunized, you ARE required to follow current CDC and DoN guidance regarding mask wear which means wear a mask!

Definition:

‐ IMMUNIZED / FULLY VACCINATED: Interchangeable terms for an individual who has completed the vaccine series and is considered immune two weeks (14 days) after the vaccine sequence is complete.

Exceptions:

‐ Due to the increased risk of the spread of the COVID-19 virus at the following locations, face coverings shall be worn regardless of immunization status:

• The Lighthouse

• Galley

• Retail store

• Dispensary

• Post 1

• Base Taxi

Current screening protocols are still in effect. So, if you come onboard the installation, expect the standard questions and a temperature check. Same for CCB. If you are leaving the island to enter the United States, you will still require a negative COVID-19 test IAW CDC requirements regardless of immunization status. Please continue to self-monitor and if you start experiencing symptoms, report to the dispensary for examination/testing.

Mask wear is still authorized. If you feel inclined to wear a mask, that is your choice to make. Ensure that the face coverings are IAW the CDC and guidelines.

Like many things, COVID-19 immunization status is Personal Health Information (PHI). Please respect the privacy of the members of our community.

This policy update is specific to on base at AUTEC. When off base, you must comply with local guidelines.

AUTEC’s health and wellbeing is a COMMUNITY effort and will require full support to maintain our important mission.

SUBMISSION REQ AND EVAL FACTOR

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Intentionally Left Blank

B. DESCRIPTION OF ACQUISITION

1. This acquisition will result in the award of a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract for Design-Bid- Build (DBB) construction.

2. The intent of the project is to repair the primary operational pier facility at the Atlantic Undersea

Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC) located at Andros Island, Bahamas. The existing superstructure will be removed, but the existing steel piles will be cutoff and incorporated in the new pier to help stabilize structural backfill. The proposed pier is a closed-pier mole-type structure with a steel pipe pile combination wall aligned with the existing pier perimeter that will retain compacted structural fill. The compacted fill will be capped with a reinforced concrete slab-on-grade deck. The new pier will abut the existing landside bulkhead. The proposed pier will include shore power, potable water, fire protection system, lighting, mooring hardware and foam filled fender system. Pier utilities will tie-in to existing landside sources.

III. EVALUATION

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

1. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), the Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contract; to negotiate with Offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contract to the Offeror submitting the proposal determined to represent the best value—the proposal most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

2. As stated in the solicitation, the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In addition, if the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

3. The Tradeoff process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition. The Government considers it to be in its best interest to allow consideration of award to other than the lowest priced Offeror or other than the highest technically rated Offeror.

4. As stated in the solicitation, all technical factors when combined are of equal importance to the performance confidence assessment (Past performance) rating; and all technical factors and the performance confidence assessment (Past Performance) rating, when combined are approximately equal to price.

5. Any proposal found to have a deficiency in meeting the stated solicitation requirements or performance objectives will be considered ineligible for award, unless the deficiency is corrected through discussions. Proposals may be found to have either a significant weakness or multiple weaknesses that impact either the individual factor rating or the overall rating for the proposal.

B. Intentionally left blank C. Intentionally left blank D. Intentionally left blank E. Intentionally left blank

F. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1. The solicitation requires the evaluation of Price and the following Non-Price factors:

Factor 1 – Construction Experience

Factor 2 – Past Performance

Factor 3 - Safety

Factor 4 – Technical Approach

Factor 5 – Small Business Utilization

The distinction between experience and Past Performance is that experience pertains to the volume of work completed by a contractor that are comparable to the types of work described under the definition of recent, relevant projects, in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Past Performance pertains to both the relevance of recent efforts and how well a contractor has performed on the contracts.

2. The relative order of importance of the Non-Price evaluation factors is the technical factors (Factors, 1, 3, 4, and 5) are of equal importance to each other and, when combined are equal in importance to the Past Performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment factor (Factor 2). When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and Past Performance/Performance Confidence Assessment factor combined (i.e., the Non-Price evaluation factors) are approximately equal to Price.

The importance of price will increase if the Offerors’ Non-Price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a Non-Price proposal’s superiority to the Government. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror(s) whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and Non-Price Factors considered.

(a) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The Offeror shall submit the following information:

(1) Construction Experience:

Submit a minimum of two (2) and a maximum of five (5) relevant construction projects for the Offeror that best demonstrates your experience on relevant projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to the RFP.

All projects must meet the definition of a Relevant Project to be considered.

RELEVANT PROJECT: A submitted relevant project must be a Waterfront construction project of similar size, scope, and complexity to this solicitation, completed by the Offeror as Prime Contractor, at a total contract value of $15 million or greater; and, must include both of the following:

• Construction of a new combi-wall or sheet pile supported pier/wharf

The remaining additional projects, up to four (4) shall be completed within the past ten (10) years of the date of issuance of this RFP. Maximum number of projects submitted for consideration shall not exceed five (5).

A project is defined as a construction project performed under a single task order or contract. For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the contract as a whole shall not be submitted as a project; rather Offerors shall submit the work performed under a task order as a project.

The Construction Experience Project Data Sheet (Exhibit A) is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information. Except as specifically requested, the Government will not consider information submitted in addition to this form. Individual blocks on this form may be expanded; however, total length for each project data sheet shall not exceed one (1) double-sided page (or two (2) single-sided pages).

For all submitted projects, the description of the project shall clearly describe the scope of work performed and the relevancy to the project requirements of this RFP (i.e.: contract value, completion date, capacity, construction methods, scope, and automation system incorporation).

If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant project experience should be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity. If the Joint Venture does not have shared experience, projects may be submitted for the Joint Venture members. Offerors who fail to submit experience for all Joint Venture members may be rated lower.

If an Offeror is utilizing experience information of affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies (name is not exactly as stated on the SF1442), the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent firm will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract.

(b) Basis of Evaluation:

The basis of evaluation will include the Offeror’s demonstrated experience and depth of experience in performing relevant construction projects as defined in the solicitation submittal requirements. The assessment of the Offeror’s relevant experience will be used as a means of evaluating the capability of the Offeror to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP. The Government will only review five projects for construction. Any projects submitted in excess of the five (5) for Construction Experience will not be considered.

Offerors who fail to submit experience for all Joint Venture members may be rated lower.

Relevant projects that demonstrate experience with sustainable features may be considered more favorably than those that do not demonstrate experience with sustainable features.

Relevant projects with construction costs of $25 million or greater will be considered more favorably.

(2) Factor 2 - Past Performance:

(a) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

If a completed Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluation is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal for each project included in Factor 1 – Construction Experience. If there is not a completed CPARS evaluation then submit Past Performance Questionnaires (Exhibit C) for each project included in Factor 1 – Construction Experience. The Offeror should provide completed Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) in the proposal. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the Past Performance evaluation. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the Offeror shall complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). The Government may make reasonable attempts to contact the client noted for that project(s) to obtain the PPQ information. However, Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to help ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, Alex Noriega, via email at alex.noriega@navy.mil. PPQ’s do not count towards the overall page limitation.

Offerors may provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on projects submitted under Factor 1 – Construction Experience. Offerors may also address any adverse Past Performance issues. Explanations shall not exceed two (2) double-sided pages (or four (4) single-sided pages) in total.

The Government reserves the right to contact references for verification or additional information. The Government’s inability to contact any of the Offeror’s references or the references unwillingness to provide the information requested may affect the Government’s evaluation of this factor.

Performance award or additional information submitted will not be considered.

(b) Basis of Evaluation:

This evaluation will consider how well the Offeror’s team performed on relevant projects submitted under Factor 1 – Construction Experience and may also consider Past Performance on other projects currently documented in known sources.

The Government will consider the recency and relevance of the information, the source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the Contractor’s performance. This evaluation is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination. The assessment of the Offeror’s team’s Past Performance will be used as a means of evaluating the Offeror’s team’s probability to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP.

Offerors lacking relevant Past Performance history will receive a NEUTRAL Confidence rating.

Past Performance ratings of “Substantial Confidence” and “Satisfactory Confidence” hold more value than a “Neutral Confidence” rating and will be considered more favorably in the evaluation of Past Performance.
