If more than five (5) projects for the Geotechnical Project Manager and the Project Land Surveyor are submitted, the Government will evaluate the first five (5) projects listed in Part I, Section E and disregard any other project information.

Each project shall include project title and location, year “professional services” (not including PCAS) completed, details of specialized experience, point-of-contact name, e-mail address, phone number, contract number or project identification number, contract period of performance, contract award amount, estimated construction cost and the role and experience the Geotechnical Project Manager or Project Land Surveyor had in performing the project. If a project description does not clearly define the work performed by the PM (including the specialized design and engineering service) or if a project does not provide the requested data, accessible points of contact, or valid phone numbers, that project may be evaluated as less favorable or less qualified.

Criterion 2- Specialized Experience (SF330, Part I, Section F):

Firms will be evaluated on specialized experience in performance of services similar to those anticipated under this contract through evaluation of experience in the following two (2) categories, in support of multi-discipline architect-engineering services that include Military Construction project documentation (DD Form 1391), Functional Analysis and Concept Development (FACD), Design Charrette, and Request for Proposal (RFP) Design-Build (DB) and Design-Bid-Build (DBB) solicitation documents for projects in the Hawaii, Guam, and tropical areas within the NAVFAC Pacific AO. (Tropical areas are defined as locations lying between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn):

1. Conducting geotechnical investigations and consulting work relating to earthwork, pavement, and foundation design;

2. Topographic, hydrographic, cadastral surveying; and mapping for site development and/or for property acquisition purposes;

Firms may be considered more favorably by demonstrating the following:

1. Projects located within the NAVFAC Pacific AO tropical areas;

2. For relevant DB RFP projects, utilization of the NAVFAC 6-part DB RFP format will be evaluated more favorably.

An AE prime contractor’s or JV partner’s specialized experience on a project may be evaluated as more favorable in comparison to a subconsultant’s specialized experience on a project.

Submission requirements: Provide a maximum of five (5) projects with the design completed within the past ten (10) years immediately preceding the date of issuance of this notice that best demonstrate specialized experience of the proposed team in the areas outlined above. Sufficient information to determine the date of completion of the project must be included in the project description or the project will not be considered. If more than the maximum number of projects are submitted, the Government will only evaluate projects up to the maximum number authorized in the order submitted.

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

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 1, 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, award contract value, current contract value, and a summary of the work performed that demonstrates relevance to specialized experience as outlined above. 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.

NOTE: 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 may be submitted for either joint venture partner.

Projects shall be submitted on the SF-330 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 2 should be submitted in the SF330, Part I, Section F. The Government WILL NOT consider information submitted in addition to Part I, Section F in evaluation of Criterion 2.

Criterion 3- Past Performance (SF330, Part I, Section H):

Firms will be evaluated on past performance with Government agencies and private industry in terms of work quality, compliance with schedules, cost control, and stakeholder/customer satisfaction. Evaluating past performance and experience will include information provided in Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) or Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) for Criterion 2 projects and may include customer inquiries, Government databases, and other information available to the Government including contacts with points of contact in other criteria.
