Cost Estimating System (MCACES) referred to as MII. MII is one of several modules of an integrated suite of cost engineering tools called Tri-Service Automated Cost Engineering Systems (TRACES). It interfaces with other PC based support modules and databases used by the Tri-Service Cost Engineering community. A&E Firms under contract or providing services to NAVFAC may request MII software installation packages from the cognizant NAVFAC Technical Discipline Coordinator (TDC). Contact the

NAVFAC Design Manager to obtain the email address for the TDC. The A&E is to send an email to the

TDC with "MII license Request” in the subject line. The software is generally distributed to A&Es free of charge, however, the accompanying database licenses must be purchased and licensed as appropriate by the user. A&Es are to update cost estimates to the latest Cost book and regional equipment library.

Use the NAVFAC Building Cost Index (BCI) for escalation, unless supporting market analysis dictates otherwise. Update the cost estimate at each submittal to reflect the current escalation. The NAVFAC

BCI can be found on the WBDG website (https://www.wbdg.org/ffc/navy-navfac/cost-engineering-guidance-ceg) – (1) Cost Data Escalation: used to escalate direct material, labor and equipment costs from the cost data source date(s) to the date of the cost estimate – (2) Market Escalation: used to escalate the project from the date of the cost estimate to the mid-point of construction.

All projects provided in the SF330 must be completed by the actual office/branch/regional office/individual team member (Offeror) proposed to manage and perform work under this contract.

Projects performed by proposed subcontractors and submitted under this Criterion as experience will not be considered. Projects not meeting this requirement will be excluded from consideration in the evaluation. To enable verification, firms should include the DUNS number along with each firm name in the SF330 Part I, Section F, block 25, “Firm Name” include a contract number or project identification number in block 21. Include an e- mail address and phone number for the point of contact in block 23(c).

In block 24, include in the project description the contract period of performance, date of project completion (MM/DD/YEAR), award contract value, current contract value, and a summary of the work performed that demonstrates relevance to specialized experience as outlined above.

If the contractor served as a subcontractor on a project, indicate the value of the work that firm provided towards the performance of the overall project. If a project was performed by a joint venture, and not all joint venture partners are on the team proposed for this contract, the firm/team should specifically address the work performed by the joint venture partner offering/teaming on this contract.

For projects performed as a subcontractor or a joint venture involving different partners, specifically indicate the value of the work performed as a subcontractor or by those firms proposed for this contract, and identify the specific roles and responsibilities performed as a subcontractor or by those firms on the project rather than the work performed on the project as a whole. If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the entity/entities offering/teaming on this contract, the project could be eliminated from consideration.

Likewise, if the firm/team member worked as a subcontractor on a project, the description should clearly describe the work actually performed by the firm/team member proposed for this contract and the roles and responsibilities of each on the project, rather than the work performed on the project as a whole. If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the entity/entities offering/teaming on this contract, the project could be eliminated from consideration. In block 25, clearly define professional service role in relationship to the owner.

Joint Venture Notes

1) If the firm is a joint venture, projects performed by the joint venture should be submitted; however, if there are no projects performed by the joint venture, projects must be submitted for each joint venture partner, not to exceed a total of seven (7) projects overall.

2) If a project was performed by a joint venture, and all joint venture partners are not on the team proposed for this contract, the Offeror/team should specifically address the work performed by the joint venture partner offering/teaming on this contract.

3) Likewise, if the Offeror/team member worked as a subcontractor on a project, the description should clearly describe the work performed by the Offeror/team member and the roles and responsibilities of each on the project, rather than the work performed on the project.

4) If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the entity/entities offering/teaming on this contract, the project will be eliminated from consideration.

Projects shall be submitted on the SF330 at Part I, Section F and shall be completed projects. Projects not completed will be excluded from evaluation consideration. For submittal purposes, a task order on an

IDIQ contract is considered a project, as is a stand-alone contract award.

Do not submit an IDIQ contract as an example project. Instead, list relevant task orders or stand-alone contract awards that fit within the definition above. The Government will not evaluate information provided for an IDIQ contract. Examples of project work submitted that do not conform to this requirement will not be evaluated.

All information for Criterion 1 should be submitted in the SF330, Part I, Section F. The
