1.0 OVERVIEW

This is a "Best Value Trade Off" solicitation in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.101-1 for the Construction of the ERCIP Well Field Expansion project at Fort Drum, NY.

The Government will evaluate the proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein, and award a firm fixed price contract to the responsible firm, whose proposal conforms to all the terms and conditions of the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government.

2.0 BASIS OF AWARD

This is a Best Value Trade Off procurement where the Contracting Officer will award a firm fixed price contract to the responsible Offeror whose proposal the Source Selection Authority has determined conforms to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government, considering all non-price factors described herein, and price. All non-price factors when combined are approximately equal in importance to price. The intent of this solicitation is to obtain the best value proposal within funds available. After the Government individually evaluates and rates each proposal, the Source Selection Authority will compare proposals to determine which proposal represents the overall best value to the Government. 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 must determine that the added value of a more expensive proposal (within funds available) would justify award to that Offeror. The magnitude of construction is between $10,000,000 and $25,000,000

Do not submit any material not required by this solicitation (such as company or system brochures). Offerors should meet all technical portions (construction criteria) of the RFP.

The fact that the technical specifications and the drawings are not evaluated factors during solicitation does not relieve the Offerors from meeting all technical, or other, requirements of the RFP.

The Government will not make assumptions concerning the intent, capabilities, or experiences of the Offerors. Clear identification of proposal details shall rest as sole responsibility of the Offeror. Therefore, the proposal should meet the following basic requirements:

a. Proposals should be typed and easy to read. Margins (1-inch) should be clean and clear.

b. Must contain a Proposal Cover Sheet, to include the Offeror's e-mail address, cell phone number, Name, Address, DUNS, and CAGE code. The proposal cover sheet is required by Provision "FAR 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors--Competitive Acquisition."

e. Offerors should submit a signed dated Standard Form 1442, Solicitation, Offer, and Award. Any and all amendments must be acknowledged by the Offeror in accordance with the instructions on the Standard Form 30, Amendment of Solicitation.

f. Offerors are reminded that elaborate corporate marketing information, formatting, special reproduction techniques, and the like are not necessary. However, proposals should completely and adequately address the requirements of this solicitation.

g. Failing to submit attachments or failing to properly complete the proposal, may result in rejection of the Offer without further evaluation. Therefore, Offerors are urged to follow instructions and contact the Contract Specialist if instructions are not understood.

RECEIPT OF SUBMISSIONS:

For the purposes of establishing whether a proposal submission is considered timely, the government considers the date and time the submission is received by the government.

The government will not be responsible for submissions delivered to any location or to anyone other than those designated to receive proposals. Offerors are responsible for ensuring that proposals are submitted so as to reach the designated recipients. Offerors are responsible for allowing sufficient time for the proposal to be received in accordance with the instructions provided.

1.3 VOLUME 1- MINIMUM SUBMISSION CRITERIA (TECHNICAL PROPOSAL):

For purposes of this RFP, an "Offeror" may include a group of two (2) or more entities that have formed a "contractor team arrangement," as that term is defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Part 9.6. In the case of entities that have formed a contractor team arrangement, the experience and performance history of any member of the team, whether or not gained while working with the other member(s) of the currently- proposed contractor team arrangement, will be considered as a part of the evaluation of the Offeror's proposal, if the Offeror provides a firm, unequivocal Letter of Commitment signed by the subcontractor.

In the case of affiliates, past performance of an Offeror's "affiliate," as that term is defined in FAR 2.101, will be evaluated (as described within this section) if the Offeror demonstrates a firm, unequivocal commitment that the affiliate will participate meaningfully (e.g., roles, responsibilities, etc.) in the performance of the contract. This commitment, nature of each entity's relationship and meaningful participation shall be described in a document signed by authorized representatives of both the Offeror and its affiliate.

If a teaming agreement or Letter of Commitment is not provided, the projects and experience of any team members outside of the Prime Offeror will not be considered.

The contractor team agreement/commitment should be provided at the beginning of the Offeror's technical proposal, prior to Factor 1, and will not be included in the overall page count.

The following are to be used in determining the status of the Offeror's team for the evaluation of project submissions under Factor 1:

1.3.1 In the case of contractor team arrangements involving a Prime Contractor and Subcontractor(s), where the Prime Contractor submits the proposal in response to this RFP, the Prime Contractor is considered the "Prime Offeror."

1.3.2 In the case of joint ventures, the "Prime Offeror" experience and past performance is limited to entities with signed agreements.

1.3.3 In the case of mentor/protege relationships, the relationship must be established by the two Offerors and approved by the chosen Government Agency prior to proposal submission. The "Prime Offeror" experience and past performance is limited to entities with signed agreements. The approved mentor/protege document from the Government Agency must be submitted along with the teaming agreement.

1.3.4 In the case of additional projects submitted by subcontractors, the subcontractor must submit the final cost of their portion of the project along with total project cost and all other required information.

1.3.5 In the case of Offerors that are large, multi-function firms (consisting of subsidiaries), experience and past performance should be limited to the segment of the firm (e.g., division, group, and unit) that is submitting a proposal in response to this RFP.

1.3.6 In the case of affiliates, past performance of an Offeror's "affiliate," as that term is defined in FAR 2.101, will be evaluated (as described within this section) if the Offeror demonstrates a firm commitment that the affiliate will participate meaningfully in the performance of the contract. This commitment and meaningful participation shall be described in a document signed by authorized representatives of both the Offeror and its affiliate.

1.3.7 If a teaming agreement or commitment is not provided, the projects of any team members outside of the Prime Offeror will not be considered. If the Joint Venture/Mentor Protege is a Small and Large Business, the Small Business will be evaluated as the Prime Offeror.
