1.13.4 In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

The offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.

1.13.5 All referenced documents are available from the Contract Specialist, CPT Jason Floyd at Jason.L.Floyd@usace.army.mil.

1.2 The intent of this project is to repair the Technical Training Dormitory, Building 213 at Altus AFB, Jackson County, Altus Oklahoma. Building 213 is a 102 person, three (3) story facility, approximately 40,000 square feet in size, constructed of concrete with a brick exterior. Living quarters have exterior entries, with exterior entries for individual living quarters.

The preliminary scope entails the replacement of the facility heating cooling system with a 2 to 4 pipe conversion, drain and waste system replacement, domestic plumbing system replacement, and the replacement facility standing seam metal roof. In addition to the replacement of the existing systems previously mentioned, a fire alarm system, a whole bldg fire suppression system, and mass notification system will be installed throughout.

1.3 Phase 1. The first phase consists of a process known in commercial design-build as the “Request for Qualifications” or the acronym: “RFQ”. This solicitation refers to it as “Phase 1”. In Phase 1 of the 2 Phase design-build selection procedure, interested firms or Joint Venture (JV) entities (referred to hereafter as “offerors”) submit specified performance capability proposals, demonstrating their capability to successfully execute the design-build construction contract resulting from this solicitation. The Government will evaluate the performance capability proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein and will select up to five (5) of the highest rated Phase 1 offerors to compete for the design-build contract in Phase 2.

1.4 In Phase 2, the selected Offerors will submit preliminary technical-design proposals and the remainder of the performance capability proposals, including identification of key subcontractors, the proposed contract duration, a preliminary schedule, plus a price proposal in response to the Phase 2 Request for Proposal. The final evaluation rating used for comparison, selection, and award will reflect both the rating received in Phase 1 and the evaluation rating received in Phase 2.

1.5 An offeror’s Phase 1 proposal must describe the capability of the Offeror to perform the work, describe the Offeror’s understanding of the requirements contained in the Statement of Work and set forth full, accurate, and complete information as required by the RFP. The proposal should be prepared simply and economically and be legible, clear, and coherent.

4.0 VOLUME I - TAB A: STANDARD FORM 1442 AND PROPOSAL DATA SHEET

4.1 Offerors shall submit the SF1442 completed and signed by a person authorized by the Offeror. Include the completed proposal data sheet (See Attachment 1 provided at the end of this section).

5.0 VOLUME I - TAB B: FACTOR 1 - SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE

5.1 Submission Requirements

5.1.1 The prime contractor and the design firm(s) (or prime contractor if design is to be self-performed) shall each demonstrate recent, relevant experience on similar projects using the Company – Specialized Experience form

– (Attachment 2), and Designer – Specialized Experience Form – (Attachment 3) at the end of the section. If any of the information required is not included in these forms, the Offeror will be considered unacceptable and evaluated as unacceptable. Offerors may identify state and local government and private contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements as outlined in Section 01 10 00 STATEMENT OF WORK. If the Offeror is a joint venture, each firm shall provide information, demonstrating experience relevant to their role on this project. Offeror shall provide a copy of the joint venture agreement or letters of commitment for all teaming contractors, agreements and letters of commitment will not count towards the page limitations, failure to provide the joint venture agreement or letters of commitment will result in the proposal being evaluated as unacceptable. Submit projects that are currently well underway (designed and at least 50% construction progress completed) or completed and turned over no longer than five (5) years preceding the date of this solicitation. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division or unit submitting the offer or by the team member.

Design firms may list prime contractors they have worked for or government, private or commercial customers. The Offeror shall select the design firm(s). If projects were design-build (D-B), so identify them. Both the prime contractor and the design firm(s) shall each submit at least three (3) projects but no more than five (5) projects that are relevant in scope to the subject project with a dollar value that equals or exceeds $5,000,000.00. Each project submitted for both the prime and design firms shall be limited to two (2) page per project.

5.1.2 The Offeror may provide a supplemental narrative (not project lists), not to exceed two (2) pages, explaining how any corporate experience that is not directly related to the specific projects above is applicable to this project and how the Government will benefit.

5.1.3 The Offeror should describe any previous teaming experience between current team members, if not described in the project list. Offeror may describe design-build experience on other type projects. The above information is limited to projects that are well underway or that have been completed and turned over no longer than the past five (5) years preceding the date of this solicitation.

5.1.4 Total page count for Factor 1 shall not exceed 22 pages.

5.2 Evaluation Criteria

5.2.1 The Government will evaluate the extent of recent, related experience of the prime contractor and design firm(s) in design, construction or design-build, as relevant to their role on this project. If the design will be accomplished in-house, rather than by subcontract, then the design element of specialized experience will still be evaluated, realizing that the work is being done in-house. Experience on the similar projects identified in the project lists will receive more consideration than experience provided in the supplemental narrative. The Government will place greater importance on projects performed as a prime contractor than as a subcontractor.

To determine strengths and weaknesses, the agency will evaluate the following. This list is not all-inclusive:

a. Projects involving the total renovation of multi-story facilities.

b. Projects involving the total replacement of mechanical and plumbing systems

c. Projects involving the installation of energy management systems.

d. Projects with a value of $5,000,000 million or greater.

e. Projects completed within 5 years of the date of the solicitation.

f. Fully completed projects, rather than substantially completed projects.

g. Projects that are substantially completed (In excess of 90% reported completions)

h. Projects that demonstrate experience of the personnel proposed in Factor 3 in the same role as their proposed role on this project. (i.e. construction personnel will be evaluated on the projects submitted for the prime contractor and design personnel will be evaluated on the projects submitted for the design firms.)

i. Project examples demonstrating prior teaming experience of the prime construction contractor and the design firm to include demonstrated experience of the designer’s personnel proposed in Factor 3 in the same role as their proposed role on this project

To receive credit for items h and i the contractor shall clearly indicate on the Specialized Experience forms that the proposed personnel on this project acted in the same role on the submitted project. Additionally, the key personnel resumes shall show the projects submitted under this Factor indicating that they served in the same role as is being proposed for this project. Failure to provide these cross references shall result in no credit being given for items g and h.

5.2.2 The Offeror shall submit the requested information to demonstrate a record of recent, related experience in both design and construction within multiple story facilities (which may include similar state or local government or private counterparts) included in this contract, as described in this section. Recent experience includes projects well underway (see above criteria) or those completed and turned over within five (5) years of the proposal issue date for this RFP for design of construction experience. Joint Venture partners or teaming partners should each demonstrate experience commensurate with their role on this project or explain in the supplemental narrative how their experience qualifies them for their role on this project. If any of the information required is not included in the forms (Attachment 1 and 2), then the Contractor will be considered unacceptable and evaluated as unacceptable.

5.2.3 The Government reserves the right to verify the experience record of cited projects or other recent projects by reviewing Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), other databases; or interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency or to interview owners or references.

The Government may check any or all cited references to verify supplied information.

5.2.4 To receive credit for extent (amount) of experience, the Offeror and its proposed design firm(s) shall demonstrate a history of recent, relevant experience. A firm will not receive credit under this factor for the relevant experience of key personnel proposed for this project. To receive credit for experience of a key teaming subcontractor under this factor the Offeror shall document unequivocal teaming arrangements with its teaming subcontractors under Factor 3 (see Attachment 7). A copy of the teaming or joint venture agreement(s) must be appended to the plan under Factor 3 (not included in the page limitation).

5.2.5 The Government will consider extent of recent experience, degree of relationship of such experience to this project, demonstrated familiarity with applicable codes and local conditions. Some examples of relevancy to this project may include, but not be limited to:

1. Number, size, type work, complexity, location

2. Dates (well under way or completed no more than five (5) years preceding date of solicitation)

3. Firm's role and extent of work self-performed (brokering out all work and simply “placing the sidewalks” on a cited project are examples of less relevant experience)

5.2.6 Previous design-build experience is not necessary for an acceptable rating. The Government may consider previous D-B experience a strength, even if the experience is on different type projects than this project. Similarly, the Government may consider previous recent teaming experience among the team members as value added, even if on different type design and/or construction projects than this project. The more relevant the experience, the more credit will be given.

6.0 VOLUME I TAB C: FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE

6.1 Submission Requirements

6.1.1 There is no page limit for this factor. For each of the projects submitted under Factor 1, to ensure the agency has all relevant past performance information, the Offeror shall submit copies of Federal/DoD/Navy/Army performance reviews that are likely already in the agency’s databases or likely within the agency’s arm’s reach, (i.e., Contractor’s copy Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System, CPARS, evaluations).

6.1.2 For each project under Factor 1 that does not have a CPARS evaluation, Offerors shall provide a Past Performance Questionnaire form PPQ-0 (Attachment 4) to a representative of the owner that can provide the owner’ s opinion of the Offeror’s past performance for the project. The Past Performance Questionnaire (Form PPQ-0) included in the solicitation is provided for the Offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project the Offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 1. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Offerors should organize all Past Performance Information based on the Factor 1 Projects, which normally have project titles and are numbered 1-5, so that reviewers can match the owner’s opinion with the corresponding Factor 1 Project.

6.1.3 Form PPQ-0 shall be utilized, and Offerors shall submit the PPQ with their proposal submission to the Contracting Office designated proposal submission location. The Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer will not require the PPQ-0 to be sent directly from the client, the Offeror may submit the completed PPQ-0. Completed PPQ- 0s should be submitted with your proposal. However, if the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ-0 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-0, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client points of contact. Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, Jason Floyd, Contract Specialist, via email at Jason.L.Floyd@usace.army.mil prior to the proposal closing date. If you have questions regarding the attached questionnaire, or require assistance, please contact Mr. Floyd at 918-669-7022.

6.1.4 Offerors shall organize all Past Performance Information based on the Factor 1 Projects, which normally have project titles and are numbered 1-5, so that reviewers can match the owner’s opinion with the corresponding Factor 1 Project. No additional information may be submitted under this factor, unless the Offeror is submitting proposals as a Joint Venture in which case the offeror shall provide the brief narrative as described in paragraph

6.1.15 below. Inclusion of additional information or failure to organize the past performance information in the same order as submitted under Factor 1 will result in the contractor being found unacceptable and may result in the contractor being removed from further consideration.

6.1.5 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.

6.1.6 The Offeror is responsible for ensuring that the completed questionnaires are submitted by the closing date.

6.1.7 The Government will evaluate the responses from the customers from which Past Performance Questionnaires have been received. The Government may contact and interview points of contact on the Past

Performance Questionnaires. The Government reserves the right to interview other individuals acting for the listed references, if the listed reference is not available. In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance.

6.1.8 Past performance information may be obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency.

6.1.9 To improve accuracy of database searches, the Offeror will also provide the CAGE Codes for the prime contractor and all teaming partners, i.e., design firms, key subcontractors, Joint Venture Partners, whose experience is being evaluated in Factor 1.

6.1.10 The Government may contact references provided as part of Factor 1 – Specialized Experience, for information regarding the Offeror’s past performance on the project and for the purposes of assessing and verifying the scope of the work performed. Offerors should provide accurate, current, and complete contact information for references provided in the project descriptions.

6.1.11 No additional past performance information shall be submitted under this Factor. Offers that violate this rule unnecessarily delay the evaluation process and will be evaluated as unacceptable and may result in the contractor being removed from further consideration.

6.1.12 Joint Venture Submission Requirements

6.1.12.1 Offerors submitting proposals as a Joint Venture shall obtain a DUNS number and be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) as the offering Joint Venture. The Offeror must provide three (3) to five (5) "recent", "relevant" projects performed by the JV that reflect the JV's ability to perform the work required in this solicitation as required under Factor 1.

6.1.12.2 If the Offeror cannot provide a sufficient number of projects as the JV to meet the minimum requirement, the Offeror must provide those "recent", "relevant" projects that it has performed as the JV, and then supplement the record with additional "recent", "relevant" projects performed by each JV member in their individual capacities. In such instance, each JV member must satisfy a minimum requirement of two (2) projects, to include any performed as the JV.

6.1.12.3 If the JV has no "recent", "relevant" projects performed by the JV, then each member of the JV must provide two (2) to three (3) "recent", "relevant" projects performed by the JV member that reflect the JV member's experience commensurate with their role on this project or how their experience qualifies them for their role on this project as required under Factor 1. In such instances the combined experience projects, submitted by each member of the JV, shall not exceed the maximum number of projects stated in paragraph 5.1.1.

6.1.12.4 In addition to the examples of "Company Specialized Experience" and "Past Performance Surveys", the Joint Venture shall provide a brief narrative not to exceed two (2) pages stating the roles that each partner of the Joint Venture will perform on this project and how the presented projects demonstrate the JV member's experience commensurate with their role on this project or how their experience qualifies them for their role on this project. The attached “Specialized Experience" and "Past Performance Survey" forms shall be used by the Joint Venture or the JV partners. Explain how the JV is structured.

6.1.13 Verification: The Government reserves the right to verify the experience record of cited projects or other recent projects not submitted by reviewing the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), or other Government appraisal systems, or to interview owner or references. The Government may check any or all cited references to verify supplied information. An Offeror will be afforded the opportunity to reply to or explain adverse performance information to which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to address.

6.2 Evaluation Criteria

6.2.1 The Government will perform a performance confidence assessment of the Offeror’s probability of successfully meeting the contract requirements, considering the degree of success of the D-B team’s recent (well under way or turned over no longer than five (5) years preceding the date of this solicitation), relevant experience.

See explanation of “well underway” and relevancy under the Factor “Specialized Experience”. The Government will assess the past performance on projects submitted under the Specialized Experience Factor and reserves the right to conduct telephone interviews with points of contact identified in the proposal and/or to review other recent projects rated in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases, review and/or contact Offeror-furnished references, or to review personal knowledge.

6.2.2 The Government will first assess and rate the relevancy of recent projects accomplished by the offeror to the scope of this contract for overall application to the performance confidence assessment ratings described hereinafter. The projects will include those submitted under the Specialized Experience Factor as well as from other sources described above. The past performance relevancy rating are described below:

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

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

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

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

6.2.3 The Government will next consider how well the Offeror performed on the contracts. The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor performance. With respect to relevancy, past performance on projects with more relevance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment rating than past performance on projects of lesser relevance. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, the Government will only evaluate past performance of the division or unit submitting the offer or by the team member.
