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

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

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.

The government will not award a contract to an Offeror that receives an Unacceptable rating in this factor.

TAB B - FACTOR 2 -PAST PERFORMANCE

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

The Offeror will provide Past Performance information on the projects submitted under Factor 1 using the Past Performance

Questionnaires (Form A3)included in the solicitation. Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) shall be submitted for projects, when available. Your client should receive Form A3 with items 1 through 4 completed and the "Note" that appears on its reverse side as well as the "Adjective Rating and Definitions" that are used for the ratings in the form. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted with your proposal. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s)before the proposal closing date, the Offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ form, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). 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 points of contact, the Contract Specialist and the Contracting Officer, prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

Also include performance recognition documents received within the last eight (8) years such as award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

The Government reserves the right to verify the past performance by reviewing the Construction Contractor(or Architect-Engineer) Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), other DoD or Government appraisal systems or to interview commercial owners or references. The Government may check any or all cited references to verify supplied information. The past performance of key personnel proposed for this project will not be evaluated or considered under this factor.

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.

The source selection evaluation team will review this past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to a performance competence assessment as described in the guidelines, below.

Less than satisfactory performance information may include, but is not limited to, the issuance of overall less than satisfactory final performance ratings and/or less than a satisfactory performance rating in one or more of the CPARS (or other rating) elements, the issuance of cure notices, terminations for default, or the requirement for excessive oversight in order to achieve satisfactory completion. A single example of less than satisfactory performance, if significant enough, may lead to a less than satisfactory rating for this factor. Likewise, multiple examples of less significant less than satisfactory performance may lead to a less than satisfactory rating for this factor.

In conducting the performance competence assessment, the Government will consider the relevancy of the past performance information available.

In addition, the Offeror is required to provide any information on past projects (within the past eight (8)years) that were terminated (for any reason) or in which they have been issued a CURE NOTICE and provide accompanying information as to the details for such action(s) with an explanation of why they were terminated or issued a cure notice.

EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR FACTOR2

The SSEB will evaluate the risks associated with an Offeror's likelihood of success in performing the requirements stated in the RFP based on the Offeror's demonstrated performance on recent, relevant contracts. (Table 1) A performance confidence assessment rating will be assigned to each past performance. (Table 2)

NOTE: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or is so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or "neutral confidence") past performance.

Table 1

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating Description

SOURCE SELECTION TEAM (SST)

The SST will be established to conduct the evaluation of proposals received in response to this solicitation. The evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal, proposal corrections and any information obtained from other sources ,e.g., past performance information. The SST will not consider any proposal incorporated by reference, except as expressly allowed by this solicitation.

EVALUATION

The SST will evaluate proposal and assign a consensus rating for each evaluation factor. Offerors are cautioned to put forth their best efforts for each the Phase One submission, and to furnish all information clearly to allow the Government to determine their performance capability. Offerors should not assume that they will have an opportunity to clarify or correct anything in their proposal after submitting it in response to Phase One.

The Government will evaluate the Phase One proposals IAW the criteria described herein and will short-list no more than five (5) of the Phase One Offerors to submit a Phase Two proposal and compete for the design-build contract in Phase Two. This work is being procured IAW FAR Subpart 36.3 Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures. FAR Part 15 does NOT apply to Phase One of this competition. The Government intends, and reserves the right, during Phase One, to talk with, and/or obtain revised submissions from, none, one, or more of the Phase One offerors to determine which should be included in the second phase of the competition."

FAR Part 15 will apply to Phase Two IAW FAR 36.3.

PHASE TWO OF A TWO-PHASEDESIGN-BUILD SELECTION PROCEDURE

A. NOTICE TO OFFERORS

This is the second Phase of a Two-Phase solicitation, in accordance with (IAW) FAR 36.3, for all work described in this solicitation. Only Offerors who were determined to be among the up to five (5) Most Highly Qualified firms from Phase One are invited to submit Phase Two proposals. The Government will evaluate Phase Two proposals IAW the criteria described herein and award a firm fixed-price contract to the responsible Offeror, whose proposal conforms to all the terms and conditions of the solicitation and whose proposal is the Best Value Trade Off to the Government from both the Phase One and Phase Two proposal evaluations.

of trade-off, the Phase One Factor 1 and Factor2 ratings and supporting rationale will be carried over to For purposes Phase Two. Offerors should not provide any Factor 1 or Factor 2 information in their Phase Two proposal submission.

For purposes of trade-off all non-price Factors1 through 5 when combined are approximately equal in importance to price.

The intent of this solicitation is to obtain the best value for the Government. After the SSEB members individually evaluate and rate each proposal, the Source Selection Authority will compare proposals to determine which proposal represents the best value to the Government.

This project is being advertised as unrestricted, full and open competition with Hubzone Price Preference The price used in the trade-off analysis shall be the Offeror's total amount for the base items and optional items. The trade-off analysis will be conducted based on an evaluation of all factors, including price, and a best value proposal will be determined. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offers. The Government will not award a contract to an Offeror whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001. If there is a lower priced conforming offer(s), the Source Selection Authority (SSA) must determine that the added value of a more expensive proposal(within an acceptable range) would justify award to that Offeror.

Who May Submit - Phase Two is limited to those Offerors determined to be the up to five (5) Most Highly Qualified firms from the PhaseOne proposal evaluations.

Written questions must be received by this office not later than seven (7) calendar days prior to the date set for receipt of offers.

TELEPHONEINQUIRIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

Oral explanations or instructions are not binding. Any information given to an Offeror which impacts the solicitation and/or offer will be given in the form of a written amendment to the solicitation.

As this is a competitive negotiated acquisition, there is no public proposal opening and no information will be given out as to the number of Offerors or the results of the competition until award is made.
