Estimated start date: September 2018

Amendment 02

AMENDMENT 0002: This amendment is being issued for the following Request for Information (RFIs):

RFI 1: I notice that the NAICS Code is for “Engineering Services” while the title of the solicitation states “Architect-Engineer design and related services”. Also in the ‘description’ it says “Architectural-Engineering Services, size standard: $15M.” Does the ‘engineering firm’ have to be the prime? Or can a joint venture “architect and engineer” be the prime?

RFI 1 RESPONSE: SAM must show NAICS 541330 to be considered. When a JV is formed and registered in SAM, you'll get a unique DUNS number for the JV. If the JV is an AE, then yes, they can be the 'prime' so long as they show NAICS 541330, has the size standard of $15M and is Total Small Business (as stated in the synopsis).

Synopsis for N69450-17-R-0117 2

RFI 2: If the “architect and engineer” do form a joint venture, does the combined revenue of both firms need to stay within the $15M cap?

RFI 2 RESPONSE: Yes. Combined revenue is used. Please discuss with your SB representative if you have questions.

RFI 3: If the “architect and engineer” do form a joint venture and wish to ‘sub-contract’ to a larger Architecture and Engineering firm, can that larger firm’s project experience be included in the SF 330?

RFI 3 RESPONSE: Yes. However, the prime should show their experience and not completely rely on the large or other subcontractor experience.

RFI 4: The solicitation asks for one (1) original plus three (3) paper hard copies of the SF330 and one (1) CD. When referencing the original should that document be signed with wet ink or will digital signatures be acceptable for the original?

RFI 4 RESPONSE: Digital signatures are recognized as original, therefore, either one is accepted.

RFI 5: On page 11 of the RFP it states "Evaluation of firms will include consideration of their location within the primary geographic area of the anticipated projects, primarily in Alabama, [..other NAVFAC SE AOR states/territories]..". Are firms pursuing this RFP as prime required to have an office, either main or branch, within one of these states or territories within the Southeast AOR?

RFI 5 RESPONSE: Paragraph 3. Page 11 States: Provide the location of the office(s) that will be performing the work, including main offices, branch offices, and offices of team members.

Evaluation of firms will include consideration of their location within the primary geographic area of the anticipated projects, primarily in Alabama, Andros Island Bahamas, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Guantanamo Bay Cuba, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. It is anticipated that most work will be in the Southeast AOR;

however, the contract may also be used at other DoD or non-DoD facilities in the geographic area for which NAVFAC Southeast performs work. These actions will be decided on a case-by-case basis approved by the contracting officer.

It is not a requirement. The Government utilizes the information to determine the perspective knowledge of the geographic area by the firms. The requirement is that you list where your main office, field office, consultants, etc., are located, i.e., provide the address(es) of those locations.

RFI 6: In accordance with the FAR 36.601-4(b) the AE firm must be a registered/licensed architectural and/or engineering firm to be eligible for award. Provide proof that the firm is permitted by law to practice the professions of architecture or engineering, (e.g., state registration number, or a brief explanation of the firm's licensing in jurisdictions that do not register firms, etc.). Failure to submit the required proof could result in a firm's elimination from consideration.

Synopsis for N69450-17-R-0117 3

Will the individual PE Registration #'s be adequate proof? Or does the firm need to have a business license or authorization to do business (provide professional services) in the individual states? In some cases, these registrations or authorizations are not secured until after a project is awarded. Otherwise, where architectural and engineering firms are doing business with national or international corporations, they would need to be registered to do business in every state.

RFI 6 RESPONSE: FAR 36.601-4(a)(1) States:

Contracting officers should consider the following services to be “architect-engineer services” subject to the procedures of this subpart:

(1) Professional services of an architectural or engineering nature, as defined by applicable State law, which the State law requires to be performed or approved by a registered architect or engineer. Therefore, an individual's PE Registration number from the state is adequate proof.

In addition, the proposed team's Key Personnel shall include: b. Primary Disciplines:

Professional licensure and ...(Criterion 1 Page 6 of 14).

NAVFAC SE would assume that on the required discipline’s resume, the Key Personnel would list their registration/license, showing that they are the professional who is registered to work for a particular firm or in a specific state.

RFI 7: It appears from reading Criterion 1 "Resumes" that NAVFAC is requesting resumes for a total of 10 Key Personnel. However, the paragraph on Submission Requirements suggests "Provide resumes for all key personnel......" which could infer providing resumes for professionals identified under "Primary Disciplines" as well. Can NAVFAC please clarify.

RFI 7 RESPONSE: Resumes shall be no more than 2 pages each for the following disciplines:

(page 8 of 14)

PRIMARY DISCIPLINE (Pg 6, section b)

Number LENGTH TOTAL Of Resumes In Pages Pages

1. Architecture* 3 2 6

This section describes the tasks required for completion of a fair, comprehensive, and impartial slate-selection process.

1. Evaluations. The evaluation for this project will be conducted using a Slate/Selection (one board) procedure and will be held in Jacksonville, FL. The Slate-Selection Board Chairman

(SSBC) will make arrangements for the evaluation upon completion of the screening of the

SF330 by Acquisition Division. Each SF330 submitted will be evaluated individually and independently.

2. Familiarization. All members of the architect-engineer evaluation board will be composed of members who, collectively, have experience in different areas of architecture and engineering and Government and related acquisitions matters. Other non-voting members may be included to provide advice on specific matters. Members will be appointed from among highly qualified professional employees from NAVFAC SE. The members are required to be familiar with the contents of the synopsis before evaluation begins. The Chairman will bring the evaluation team members and advisory staff together prior to the evaluation of proposals to discuss the synopsis, the rating methodology, and each member’s responsibilities.

3. Communication. All members of the evaluation organization are to communicate via e-mail and/or verbally whenever possible and prudent to the Government. All e-mail communication among the evaluation organization is to be protected as sensitive to source selection.

4. Receipt and Preparation of SF330. The Contract Specialist will screen all SF330s to ensure that each is properly completed, executed and submitted in accordance with the synopsis requirements. After this initial screening, the Contract Specialist will forward the SF330s to the

SSBC for evaluation.

5. Slate Evaluation. Each member of the evaluation organization will independently evaluate each SF330 submitted to identify compliance with the synopsis, strengths and weaknesses, potential clarifications and possible deficiencies. The evaluation will be documented on Slating

Rationale worksheets and conducted in accordance with the guidelines established in this synopsis.

6. Narrative assessments. The evaluators’ narrative assessment of each SF330 is the cornerstone of the evaluation process. The narratives form the basis for the award decision.

Narrative comments must be clear, detailed and self-explanatory. Narratives will be prepared in ink or computer generated. Evaluators must indicate, at a minimum, (1) where the SF330 meets or fails to meet minimum requirements; (2) strengths/advantages and the benefit to the government should the firm receive award; (3) weaknesses/disadvantages/deficiencies and the impact each would have on the capability to perform.

7. The rating given under each of the evaluation criterion reflects the degree to which the proposed approach meets or does not meet the requirement through an assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies, and risks of an offer. The methodology used to evaluate the

SF330 and related risk will be based on a Met or Not Met determination for each evaluation criterion. An overall rating will not be given.

8. Consensus. Upon completion of individual evaluations, the evaluation team and Chairman shall meet and establish a final rating for each firm on each evaluation factor. Ratings will not be averaged, but will represent the consensus opinion of the evaluators. The Chairman will record these consensus results and document the basis for each. The Chairman will present the consensus results to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) and legal counsel for review and/or concurrence.

9. Discussions/ Interviews: After PCO review of the consensus results, up to nine (9) of the most highly qualified firms will be short listed and invited to participate face-to-face discussions/interviews. Interviews are conducted for the purpose of obtaining any additional information that will help the board in ranking the firms in order of preference and distinguish between the most highly qualified firms. It provides the board an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the firm’s qualifications, to clarify questions regarding the SF330 and to assess their understanding of the work. The firms are given an opportunity to provide their presentation followed by a question and answer period led by the SSBC. The questions may be provided to the firms for preparation; however additional questions may arise based on the information presented during the interview. Any information received during the interview process may be used as justification for the ranking of the firms based on the published selection criteria.

10. Interviewed firms must be prepared to provide a listing of present business commitments with their required completion schedules; financial and credit references (include name and telephone numbers of officers at their financial institutions) and performance references other than NAVFAC Southeast (include three (3) or more with names and telephone numbers of the contract administrators).

11. Selection: Following the interviews, the Evaluation Board shall reach a consensus on the order of preference of the short listed firms and provide the Selection Board Report recommending to the selection authority, in order of preference, at least three firms that are considered to be the most highly qualified. The Selection Board Report will include clear justification for the basis of selecting the most highly qualified firm and will be based solely on the evaluation criteria identified publicized synopsis. When only one board is used, the

Slate/Selection report will include documentation supporting the decision to include and exclude firms from the slate. If two boards are used, an approved Pre-Selection/Slate Board Report must be included must be included as an enclosure to the Selection Report. Final selection decision shall be made by the agency head or a designated selection authority.

12. After Selection: After the Selection Report has been approve, the PCO may release information identifying only the AE firms selected as the most highly qualified with which negotiations will be conducted. Because of the Selection of Architects and Engineers procedures, if a fair and reasonable price cannot be negotiated with the selected firms, the next most highly qualified firm may be contacted and requested to provide a fee proposal. At that time the name of the firm may be released.

Criterion 3—Past Performance (SF330, Part I, Section H):

Firms will be evaluated on past performance with Government agencies and private industry in terms of work quality, compliance with schedules, cost control, and stakeholder/customer satisfaction. Evaluating past performance and experience will include information provided in

Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) or CPARS/ACASS for Criterion 2 projects and may include customer inquiries, Government databases, and other information available to the

Government including contacts with points of contact in other criteria. NOTE: Past performance information for projects listed under Criterion 2 may be given greater weight.

Submission Requirements:

SUBMIT A COMPLETED CPARS/ACASS EVALUATION FOR EACH PROJECT UNDER

CRITERION 2. IF A COMPLETED CPARS/ACASS EVALUATION IS NOT AVAILABLE,

the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attachment (A)) included in this notice is provided for the firm or its team members to submit to the client for each project included under Criterion

2, Specialized Experience. DO NOT SUBMIT A PPQ WHEN A COMPLETED

CPARS/ACASS IS AVAILABLE.

IF A CPARS/ACASS EVALUATION IS NOT AVAILABLE, ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed PPQs should be submitted with your SF330. If the firm is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before the response date set forth in this notice, firms should complete and submit with their responses the first page of the PPQ (Attachment (A)), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Firms may submit a PPQ previously submitted under a different Notice/RFP (legible copies are acceptable) as long as it is on the same form as posted with this Synopsis. Firms should follow up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If requested by the client, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the

Government's point of contact, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southeast, Code N69450, Attn: Donna Yon via email at donna.yon1@navy.mil, prior to the response date. Firms shall not incorporate by reference into their response PPQs or CPARS previously submitted in response to other A/E services procurements. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

Firms may provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on projects submitted under Criterion 2 Specialized Experience. Firms may also address any adverse past performance issues. Information shall not exceed four single-sided pages in total.

Awards, letters of commendation, certificates of appreciation, etc. shall not be submitted and will not be considered in the evaluation.

Criterion 4—Quality Control Program (SF330, Part I, Section H):

Firms will be evaluated on the strength of the quality control program proposed by the firm to ensure quality products and services under this contract, and means of ensuring quality services from their consultants/subcontractors.

Submission Requirements:

Describe the quality control program that will be utilized for all deliverables of this contract and the management approach for quality control processes and procedures. The description shall:

1. Explain the quality control program including an example of how the plan has worked for one of the projects submitted as part of SF330, Section F or how the plan will work if it has not been used previously.

2. Provide a quality control process chart showing the inter-relationship of the management and team components.

3. The specific quality control processes and procedures proposed for this contract will require the selected firm to demonstrate that an internal Quality Control Program is consistently utilized to ensure the technical accuracy and the inter-disciplinary coordination of work products. The selected firm will also be required to demonstrate how “quality assurance” and “quality control” on work products prepared by multiple offices (branch and/or sub-consulting) is achieved.

Demonstration of this Evaluation Criteria shall be accomplished by providing an Executive

Summary only, not to exceed one page, of the Quality Control Program utilized by your firm and the proposed design team.

4. Identify the quality control manager and any other key personnel responsible for the quality control program and a description of their roles and responsibilities.

5. Describe how the firm’s quality control program extends to management of subcontractors.

Criterion 5— Program Management and Capacity and Location (SF330, Part I, Section

H):

Firms will be evaluated on the their ability to plan for and manage work under the contract, the capacity to accomplish the work in the required time, and on the location of their office(s) that will be performing the work under this contract and demonstrated knowledge of the primary geographic areas in which projects could be located.

Submission Requirements:

Provide an organizational chart for the team and discuss the management plan for this contract and personnel roles in the organization. Describe the ability of the firm to manage, coordinate and work effectively with team members, both internal staff and consultants. Discuss the history of working relationships with team members, including joint venture partners and mentor protégé where applicable.

2. Describe the firm’s present workload and the availability of the project team (including consultants) for the specified contract performance period. Describe the workload/availability of the key personnel during the anticipated contract performance period and the ability of the firm to provide qualified backup staffing for key personnel to ensure continuity of services. General statements of availability/capacity may be considered less favorably.

3. Provide the location of the office(s) that will be performing the work, including main offices, branch offices, and offices of team members. Evaluation of firms will include consideration of their location within the primary geographic area of the anticipated projects, primarily in Alabama, Andros Island Bahamas, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Guantanamo Bay

Cuba, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and

Texas. It is anticipated that most work will be in the Southeast AOR; however, the contract may also be used at other DoD or non-DoD facilities in the geographic area for which NAVFAC

Southeast performs work. These actions will be decided on a case-by-case basis approved by the contracting officer.

Criterion 6— Sustainable Design (SF330, Part I, Section H):

NAVFAC now requires all new general building construction projects to follow UFC 1-200-02

“High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements” (HPSB), Revision 01, 01 December
