Projects are defined as a task order on an IDIQ contract or a standalone contract. IDIQ contracts are not considered projects. Relevancy:

The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the offeror is to the effort to be acquired through the source selection. Projects with a total contract value equal to or greater than $3,000,000.00 USD and involving either medium voltage power generation or medium voltage power distribution in a contingency environment will be considered relevant. In order to receive an minimum overall rating of “Relevant” for Factor 2, the Offeror shall demonstrate experience in both medium voltage power generation and medium voltage power distribution between all projects submitted, though medium voltage power generation and medium voltage power distribution experience does not necessarily need to be within the same individual project. Contingency environments are defined as areas with active military operations, stability operations, natural disasters, humanitarian events, and/or other calamitous events.

The relevancy of the Offeror’s past performance will be rated in accordance with the above table located in Section 00 22 16 Basis for Award and Evaluation Criteria under Factor 2, Section C, Subsection ii. If more than five (5) projects are submitted only the first five in the list submitted by the Contractor will be evaluated.

Offeror’s past performance shall be provided first, followed by each proposed major subcontractor (if provided). The Offeror shall also submit the written consent of its major subcontractor to allow the disclosure of its subcontractor’s past performance information to the Offeror. Major subcontractors are contractors who will perform more than 20% of the total contracted price. Past Performance by major subcontractors will be rated equally to that of the Offeror and will satisfy the requirements provided that projects and narratives meet the requirements listed above. The page limit for this volume includes pages for each major subcontractor but excludes Past Performance Questionnaire forms.

In addition, letters of commitment and written consent forms shall be included at time of proposal submission for all major subcontractors for their past performance to be considered. Letters of commitment and consent forms shall cover the entire ordering period of the MATOC (eg: five years).

This volume shall be organized into the following sections:

a. Tab 1 – Contract Descriptions. This section shall include the following information for each project submitted:

a. Contractor/Subcontractor place of performance, CAGE Code and DUNS Number. If the work was performed as a subcontractor, also provide the name of the prime contractor and Point of Contact (POC) within the prime contractor organization (name, current address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers)

If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client before the proposal closing date, the Offeror shall complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ. PPQs completed prior to the solicitation date are unacceptable. This does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

Other Proposal Submission Information:

Offerors may also include performance recognition documents received within the last ten years of the date the solicitation is issued, such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the Offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by Offeror.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

Offerors are discouraged from providing points of contact with another contractor’s facility, i.e., in case an offeror (or one of his/her team members) is in a subcontract with another contractor who has submitted a proposal on the same requirement. Offerors shall provide and submit the prime contract number and all Governmental agency points of contact (POCs) in lieu of subcontract numbers or prime contract POCs in situations as described above.

Offerors shall complete and submit the Solicitation CLIN schedule in Section 00 10 00 of the RFP.

Offerors are cautioned that the rates proposed in Section 00 10 00 will be legally binding for both the base and option periods and the rates proposed will be the maximum rates that the Offeror may use to price all firm-fixed price Task Orders issued in either the base or option period. The Offeror’s proposed labor rates are to be fully burdened labor rates exclusive of profit. Lower rates may be offered at the Task Order level at the Offeror’s discretion and in accordance with each Offeror’s’ exercise of business judgment.

NOTE: DEFENSE BASE ACT INSURANCE

The Continental Insurance Company (CNA) single-provider, DBA requirements contract, that supported U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the U.S. Central Command Joint Theater Support Contracting Command (C-JTSCC), and the 408th Contracting Command, expired on 30 September 2013. No additional options or extensions are available. USACE did not replace its requirement contract. Therefore, contractors will obtain DBA insurance from either a Department of Labor (DOL) authorized insurance carrier or utilize a self-insurance program.

The Department of Labor (DOL) has approved multiple insurance carriers which promote a competitive market environment. Therefore, USACE or Defense Microelectronic Activity (DMEA) contractors will obtain commercially available DBA insurance, from a DOL authorized insurance carrier unless the contractor is under a self-insurance program approved by the DOL or subject to a waiver. The DOL approved carriers and self-insured employers are available at http://www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/lscarrier.htm.

D. DISCUSSIONS

1. GENERAL INFORMATION. In accordance with FAR 15.306(d), discussion sessions with each offeror may be held. Should discussions take place, all offerors in the competitive range will be allowed a reasonable amount of time to submit Final Proposal Revisions after discussions are concluded.

2. DISCUSSION SCHEDULING. If discussions are conducted, the Contracting Officer will schedule the discussion sessions, and each offeror will be notified of the time and place within a reasonable amount of time prior to their discussion session. Appropriate security clearances should be provided by the offerors in sufficient time to process the requests.

The Contracting Officer will provide additional instructions with the notification. The discussion sessions will take place via conference call, in person, or by written notification.

Section 00 22 16 - Supplementary Instructions to Proposers

SECTION 00 22 16

Section 00 22 16 - Basis for Award and Evaluation Criteria

The technical evaluation approach summarizes the assessment of the Offeror’s proposal as measured against the non-price factors. It also summarizes assessment of the strengths, weaknesses and risks associated with the Offeror’s proposed approach derived from the technical evaluation.

A. Evaluation Factors

This requirement will be solicited as a Request for Proposals (RFP) in accordance with FAR

6.401 and will utilize procedures described in FAR Part 15.101.

Award will be made based on the best overall (i.e., best value) proposals that are determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the three (3) evaluation factors.

Factor 1: Approach to Sample Task Orders. The Government intends to evaluate the extent of the Offeror’s approach to sample task orders, including the Written Narrative, Staffing Plan, Milestone Schedule, and Equipment List items as specified in Section 00 21 16 for completeness and substantiveness and to assign an adjectival rating in accordance with FAR 15.101-1.

Factor 2: Past Performance. The Government intends to evaluate each Offeror’s past performance. There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation:

recency, relevancy, and quality. The Government will evaluate the recency, relevancy, and quality of each Offeror’s past performance and assign a performance confidence assessment rating.

Factor 3: Price. Price will not be rated, but will be evaluated for completeness, reasonableness, and unbalanced pricing (Reference FAR15.404-1(g)).

As described in FAR15.101-1, the tradeoff process permits tradeoffs among price and non-price factors and allows the Government to select other than the lowest priced proposal for contract award and FAR 15.101-2(a). For purposes of the tradeoff process, Factor 1 (Approach to Sample Task Orders) is more important than Factor 2 (Past Performance).

ALL NON-PRICED FACTORS COMBINED ARE APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO PRICE.

All proposals shall be evaluated by the Source Selection Team.

Factor 1: Approach to Sample Task Orders: Factor 1 will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.101- 1 and given an overall adjectival rating.” The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s approaches to the sample task orders to determine whether they meet the requirements of the solicitation. The sample task orders are representative of the work to be performed under the contract, and an approach to a sample task order that does not meet the requirements of the solicitation could indicate a lack of understanding concerning mission requirements and may present a high risk of unsuccessful performance. To receive an Acceptable rating in accordance with the chart set forth below, the Offeror’s approach must completely and substantively address the Written Narrative, Staffing Plan, Milestone Schedule, and Equipment List items as specified in Section 00 21 16. To receive a minimum of an Acceptable rating, the Offeror’s approach must be responsive to and feasible for all requirements and subrequirements specified in Section 00 21 16. Failure to provide a proposal submission requirement or subrequirement specified in Section 00 21 16 will result in a proposal deficiency and a rating of Unacceptable. The Offeror’s approach shall demonstrate a full understanding of the technical and mission requirements for each sample task order. The Offeror’s proposed Milestone Schedule will be evaluated to ensure it is in the correct format, meets the overall requirements of the Sample Task Order, is in a logical order, and addresses all of the requirements to execute the Sample Task Order to include, but not limited to, phase- in/mobilization, phase-out/demobilization, procurement (as applicable), equipment manufacturing (as applicable), shipping, transportation methods (air, ground, sea, etc.), installation/construction (as applicable), commissioning (as applicable), and operation and maintenance periods. The Offeror’s proposed Equipment List will be evaluated to ensure that it matches the Offeror’s proposed drawings and one-line diagram for the proposed power plant for each of the sample task orders submitted as part of the Wriiten Narrative. The Offeror’s proposed Equipment List will be evaluated to ensure that it demonstrates the Offeror’s understanding for the Sample Task Order requirements and demonstrates a complete and operable power plant and distribution system.

To receive an overall minimum rating of “Acceptable” for Factor 1, the Offeror must receive a minimum rating of “Acceptable” for its approaches to both of the two (2) sample task orders. If either approach to a sample task order receives an “Unacceptable” rating, the Offeror will receive an overall rating of “Unacceptable” for Factor 1.

The Combined Technical/Risk Ratings excerpted below depicts how well the Offeror’s proposal meets the Technical Factor requirements:

TABLE 1 – Combined Technical/Risk Ratings

Color Rating Description

Blue Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Purple Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Green Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Yellow Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable.

Factor 2: Past Performance: The Government will evaluate each Offeror’s past performance to determine the recency, relevancy and quality of each project to establish a corresponding confidence assessment adjectival rating. Each Offeror’s past performance will be reviewed to determine relevancy and a confidence assessment of recent experience. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the solicitation.

a. Evaluation of past performance shall utilize the forms and questionnaires set forth in Appendix D. The

Government will also use data collected from Contract Performance Assessment Rating System

(CPARS).

b. The Government will focus its inquiries on the Offeror’s (and major subcontractor’s) record of performance as it relates to all solicitation requirements, including cost, schedule, performance and management of subcontractors. Major subcontractors are defined as members of an Offeror’s overall team who are expected to perform more than 20% of the total contracted price. A significant achievement, problem, or lack of relevant data in any aspect of the work can become an important consideration in the evaluation process. Therefore, Offerors shall include the most recent and relevant efforts within ten years of the date the solicitation is issued and at least 50% complete or completed. Absent any recent and relevant past performance history or when the performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror will be assigned a “neutral confidence rating” and its proposal will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance. The Government may use data provided by the Offeror in its proposal and data obtained from other sources, including data in Government files or data obtained through interviews with personnel familiar with the contractor and their current and past performance under Federal, State or Local government or commercial contracts for same or similar services as compared to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 237130.

c. There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation: recency, relevancy, and quality. The Government will evaluate the recency, relevancy, and quality of each Offeror’s past performance and assign a performance confidence assessment rating.

(i) Recency: The first aspect of the past performance evaluation is to evaluate the recency of the Offeror’s past performance. Any past performance completed within ten years of the date the solicitation is issued and at least 50% complete or completed is considered recent.

(ii) Relevancy: The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the offeror is to the effort to be acquired through the source selection. Projects with a total contract value equal to or greater than $3,000,000.00 USD and involving either medium voltage power generation or medium voltage power distribution in a contingency environment will be considered relevant. In order to receive an minimum overall rating of “Relevant” for Factor 2, the Offeror shall demonstrate experience in both medium voltage power generation and medium voltage power distribution between all projects submitted, though medium voltage power generation and medium voltage power distribution experience does not necessarily need to be within the same individual project. Contingency environments are defined as areas with active military operations, stability operations, natural disasters, humanitarian events, and/or other calamitous events. Additional consideration will be given to offerors that submit project(s) that involve both medium voltage power generation and medium voltage power distribution within the same project. The relevancy of the Offeror’s past performance will be rated in accordance with the below table:

Adjectival Rating Description Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

(iii) Quality of Products or Services: The third aspect of the past performance…
