** Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($16.20) or 13658 ($12.15). Please see the Note at the top of the wage determination for more information.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour National Office because National Office has responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

END OF GENERAL DECISIO"

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

(a) GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

1. All proposal preparation cost will be the sole responsibility of the Offeror. The Government will not reimburse any firm for their proposal preparation cost.

2. Cost proposals and Technical proposals of each offeror will be evaluated independently. Offerors shall separately bind each. All copies shall therefore be labeled with the offerors name, business address, and VA Solicitation Number.

3. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, Offerors must follow the instructions contained herein. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

The offer shall consist of three (3) separate parts:

· Part I – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY FACTOR

· Part II – PAST PERFORMANCE FACTOR

· Part III – PRICE FACTOR The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose proposal, if conforming to the solicitation, will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. See Appendix A for a detailed description of all Evaluation Factors and Subfactors. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

a. VOLUME I – TECHNICAL FACTOR

b. VOLUME II – PAST PERFORMANCE FACTOR

c. VOLUME III – PRICE FACTOR

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive Tradeoff source selection in which all evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are significantly more important than price. The factors other than price include both the Technical Factor and the Past Performance Factor. Award may be made on other than the lowest priced offer(s) where higher priced offers received better Technical and/or Past Performance ratings than the lower priced offer(s). The Source Selection Authority shall make an integrated assessment best value award decision, where the perceived benefits of the selected higher priced proposal, and the rationale for tradeoffs, shall be documented in the contract file in accordance with FAR 15.406.

Regarding the below process, the terms strength, weakness, and deficiency are defined as follows:

i. The term strength means an aspect of an offeror's proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

ii. The term weakness means a flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001.

iii. The term deficiency means a material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. See FAR 15.001.

Offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a solicitation requirement may result in an offer being determined nonresponsive (see below). The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

Evaluation of Proposals Proposals will be evaluated by the Contracting Officer to ensure Vendor completed all requested instructions within the solicitation prior to being sent to Source Selection. Clarifications may be conducted to identify/confirm missing documentation and a determination will be made regarding whether the offeror should/can be allowed to submit any missing/deficient documentation without adverse effect to other offerors or the timeliness of award. Qualified vendor will be provided to the Technical Evaluation Board (TEB) for the next evaluation stage.

VOLUME I – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY FACTOR:

First, the technical capability of all offers will be evaluated on an Outstanding, Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, or Unsatisfactory basis. Construction Schedule, and Experience sub-factors will be weighted equally, because risk of unsuccessful performance is expected to be minimal, risk is not separately evaluated, but instead is included as part of the technical capability and will be evaluated for acceptability only.

Sub-Factor 1 – Construction Schedule. CRITERIA and SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Offeror must provide a proposed construction schedule not to exceed 500 calendar days. Prepare and submit a practicable construction schedule laying out all necessary performance elements needed to complete this project identified in the solicitation in the proposed period of performance. Please take note of the following key details. Demolition activities noted in the drawings and new work activities will need to be carefully coordinated with the Facility Management Service and Laboratory to ensure continuous operation and minimal impacts. Outages will need to be coordinated with sufficient advance notice per the Specifications that the facility can mitigate impacts to the greatest extent possible. Temporary utilities may be required to mitigate impacts as called out in the Specifications.

MINIMUM STANDARD OF ACCEPTABILITY: The schedule must be submitted in the Microsoft Project format. Offerors should only include the work elements necessary to complete the required work. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to identify all necessary project/work elements, to include the phased construction approach detailed in the drawings, and the proposal adequately identifies acceptable critical elements. The proposal shall effectively demonstrate a detailed timeline that fully addresses elements of work outlined in the Specifications and Design. The approach shall address the start and completion of each event, including but not limited to, the purchasing and installation of long lead time items, hiring of contract personnel, and work start dates, linking all associated critical path elements.

Construction Schedule Rating Method

Sub-Factor 2 – Experience. CRITERIA and SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Offerors must provide a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) examples of their choice of completed projects or in progress of similar contracts in size and scope (commercial building remodel/renovation; minimum threshold value of $1,000,000).

MINIMUM STANDARD OF ACCEPTABILITY: The minimum standard of acceptability is met when the Offeror provides a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) examples of their choice of completed projects or in progress of similar contracts in size and scope (commercial building remodel/renovation; minimum threshold value of $500,000). In describing the construction experience, provide the following information:

a. Project title, location and brief description including the building use (Medical Facility, etc) and contracting method (design build, design bid construct, CM at risk, Turnkey, etc).

b. Project owner and name and telephone number of owner’s contact person.

c. Indicate your firm’s role as a prime contractor or subcontractor, etc.

d. Project Prime Contractor and Major Subcontractors and name and telephone number of contact person(s).

Project Statistics including start and completion dates (original vs. actual) for design and construction; cost (with brief explanation of what is included in the cost); square footage; and any awards (prizes) received.

Experience Rating Method

VOLUME II – PAST PERFORMACE FACTOR:

Government will evaluate the offeror’s demonstrated past performance of recent and relevant projects, to determine the offeror’s ability to perform the contract successfully and help determine responsibility. An overall Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating will be assigned, but each past performance reference will first be evaluated for “recency” and “relevancy”. Therefore, the following ratings tables will be used. “Recent” past performance is defined as projects completed within the last ten years, with the actual completion date being not earlier than January 31, 2014. Past Performance examples will be assigned a relevancy rating based on the below rating definitions, in comparison with the scope of work detailed in the Specifications and Drawings

Past Performance Relevancy Rating Method
