INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

This procurement is being solicited as a competitive small business set-aside in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 19.8, the Small Business Administration (SBA) 8(a) Business Development Program, pursuant to the executed Partnership Agreement with the Department of Defense (DoD).

The North American Industry Classification Code System (NAICS) is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The small business size standard is $39,500,000 ($39.5M).

Construction projects to be performed will primarily consist of general building type projects (new construction, renovation, alteration, demolition, and repair work) including, but not limited to, industrial, airfield, aircraft hangar, aircraft traffic control, infrastructure, administrative, training, dormitory and community support facilities for Department of Defense (DoD) activities in the Corpus Christi and Kingsville, Texas areas managed by NAVFAC SE. Work may be required in other locations in the area of responsibility of NAVFAC SE, if deemed necessary and approved by the NAVFAC SE Chief of Contracting Office.

Projects will require either single discipline or multi-discipline design services or may include 100% construction performance specifications. Projects can be based on design-build, modified design-build or full plans and specifications format and may also require comprehensive interior design and incorporation of sustainable features.

In accordance with FAR 36.3, this procurement will use Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures. Phase One of the procurement process is a narrowing phase of offerors up to ten (10) offerors (design-build teams) who offer the best technical value to the government, unless the Government determines that a number greater or less than ten

(10) is in the Government's best interest. Only those offerors selected in Phase One will be allowed to proceed into Phase Two. In Phase Two, the successful Phase One offerors will be required to submit technical and price proposals for a seed project. Offerors who fail to submit technical and price proposals for the seed project will not be considered for a MACC award.

The Government intends to award approximately five (5) contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offerors whose proposals represent the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors in the solicitation.

Each MACC will include a minimum guarantee of $1,000 with a five (5) year ordering period. There is no yearly or per contractor limit except for the total five-year maximum of $99M. Task orders will be firm-fixed-priced, normally in the range of $250,000 to $10,000,000 per order.

Section 00 22 00 - Supplementary Instructions

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

1. The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contracts; to negotiate with offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contracts to the offerors submitting the proposals determined to represent the best value—the proposals most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

2. As stated in the solicitation, the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award contracts 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. The evaluation report must document the SSEB’s assessment of the identified weakness(s) and the associated risk to successful contract performance resulting from the weakness(s). This assessment must provide the rationale for proceeding to award without discussions.

B. Intentionally left blank

C. Intentionally left blank

D. Intentionally left blank

E. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1. The solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-price factors:

Phase-One:

Factor 1 – Technical Approach Factor 2 – Experience Factor 3 – Safety

Factor 4 – Past Performance

Phase-Two:

Factor 5 – Technical Solution Factor 6 – Energy Design Reduction

In accordance with FAR 36.3, this procurement will use Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures. Phase One of the procurement process is a narrowing phase of offerors up to ten (10) offerors (design-build teams) who offer the best technical value to the government, unless the Government determines that a number greater or less than ten (10) is in the Government's best interest. Only those offerors selected in Phase One will be allowed to proceed into Phase Two. In Phase Two, the successful Phase One offerors will be required to submit technical and price proposals for a seed project. Offerors who fail to submit technical and price proposals for the seed project will not be considered for a MACC award.

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, 2, 3, 5 and 6) are of equal importance to each other and, when combined are equal in importance to the past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment factor (Factor 4). 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.

For the two-phase design-build procurement, Factors 1-4 will be evaluated in Phase

One, and Factors 5 and 6 will be evaluated in Phase Two. Factor 1 will only be rated Acceptable or Unacceptable. If an Offeror is rated Unacceptable in Factor 1, they will not be considered for Phase Two. In making the best value award decision after Phase Two, the Government will consider Factors 2-6 and 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.

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. With the exception of Offerors covered by Mentor-Protégé JV Agreements approved by the Small Business Administration, Offerors who fail to submit experience for all Joint Venture members may be rated lower. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.

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.

The Offeror MAY NOT utilize experience of a subcontractor to demonstrate construction experience under this evaluation factor.

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.

The Offeror may utilize experience of a design subcontractor to demonstrate design experience under this evaluation factor. The Offer must provide a supporting joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, teaming agreement, or letter of commitment and an explanation of the meaningful involvement for the design subcontractor. Offerors proposing multiple design firms should submit relevant project experience for all design firms. Failure to do so may result in a lower rating. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.

NOTE: Letters of commitment for the Designer of Record shall be addressed from the Designer of Record to the Offeror. The Designer of Record’s letter of commitment shall be signed by the Designer of Record’s signing authority.
