Technical FACTORS revised.docx

3. PHASE ONE

Basis of Evaluation/Submission Requirements/Criteria Description for each Factor:

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL APPROACH

a. Proposal Submission Requirements:

The composition and management of the firms proposed for a typical design-build (DB) team for this contract will be evaluated in this factor.

The Offeror shall submit the following information under Tab “1”:

(1) Using Exhibit “A” (Offeror Team Composition and Management), provide a narrative describing the proposed primary construction firm(s) and the rationale for proposing this arrangement. Provide the role, responsibilities, and contractual relationships between the various firms (see FAR Subpart 9.6). If the experience of an entity is being claimed in Factor 2, that entity must be named in the above narrative.

The technical approach narrative (Exhibit A) shall be limited to one (1) double-sided page (or two (2) single-sided pages). The information requested in item (2) below is not included in this page limitation.

(2) In addition to the narrative, the Offeror shall submit a signed copy of a joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, teaming agreement, approved Mentor-Protégé agreement (MPA), or letter of commitment for each member of the Offeror’s team identified above (e.g., joint venture member, partner, team member, subcontractor, parent company, subsidiary, or other affiliated company, etc.). If the Offeror is proposing as a Mentor-Protégé joint venture, the Offeror shall submit the SBA approved Mentor Protégé joint venture agreement with the SBA approval letter of the Mentor Protégé agreement and any subsequent extensions.

b. Basis of Evaluation:

The assessment of the Offeror’s technical approach will be used as a means to evaluate the teaming relationships (if any) proposed by the Offeror. This factor will be rated on an Acceptable or Unacceptable basis.

FACTOR 2: EXPERIENCE (See definition)

a. Proposal Submission Requirements:

Submit Exhibit “B” (Construction Experience Project Data Sheet) under Tab “2.”

(1) Construction Experience:

Submit a maximum of seven (7) relevant construction projects for the Offeror that best demonstrate your experience on projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to projects that may be ordered under this contract.

For purposes of this evaluation, relevant projects are further defined as new construction, renovation, and/or repair of commercial and institutional facilities by design-build or design-bid-build, with a construction cost of $15,000,000 or more.

Examples of relevant construction projects are construction projects similar in scope to:

Airport building, office/administrative building, communications facility, vehicle maintenance facility, armories, parking garage (paved parking lots will not be considered relevant), barracks facility, prison facility, fire station, religious building, hotel, dining facility, hospital/ medical facilities, warehouse facility, school facility, and/or retail facility.

For this solicitation, new construction and/or repair of single family homes will not be considered relevant.

Additional minimum submission requirements:

· Submit at least one (1) relevant project with a construction cost of $50,000,000 or above.

· Submit at least one (1) relevant project demonstrating experience with new construction (see definition).

· Submit at least one (1) relevant project demonstrating experience with new construction or repair of an aircraft or vehicle maintenance hangar facility.

· Submit at least three (3) relevant projects that demonstrate experience in design-build construction (see definition).

Note: A single project may satisfy more than one of the above minimum requirements.

Exhibit “B” must clearly address how the project meets the above requirements.

Projects submitted for the Offeror shall be 100% complete (see definition) within the past five (5) years (see definition) of the date of issuance of this RFP.

A project is defined as a construction project with a single starting point and a single ending point, performed under a single task order or contract. For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the contract as a whole shall not be submitted as a project; rather Offerors shall submit the work performed under a task order as a project.

The attached Construction Experience Project Data Sheet (Exhibit “B”) is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information. Except as specifically requested, the Government will not consider information submitted in addition to this form. Individual blocks on this form may be expanded; however, total length for each project data sheet shall not exceed one (1) double-sided page (or two (2) single-sided pages).

For all submitted projects, the description of the project shall clearly describe the scope of work performed and the relevancy to the project requirements of this RFP (how the project meets the requirements listed above). In addition, the description should also address any sustainable features for the project, including specific descriptions of those features.

If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant project experience should be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity. If the Joint Venture does not have shared experience, projects shall be submitted for the Joint Venture members. Offerorswho fail to submit experience for all Joint Venture members may be rated lower.

Offerors are still limited to a total of seven (7) projects combined.

If an Offeror is utilizing experience information of affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies (name and address is not exactly as stated on the SF1442), the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD firm will have meaningful involvement in the performance of this contract. Regarding any such submitted project, if the Offeror fails to demonstrate the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD firm’s meaningful involvement in the performance of this contract, the project will not be considered relevant and will not be evaluated.

The Offeror may not utilize experience of a subcontractor to demonstrate construction experience under this evaluation factor.

b. Basis of Evaluation:

The basis of evaluation will include the Offeror’s demonstrated experience and depth of experience in performing relevant construction projects as defined in the solicitation submittal requirements. The assessment of the Offeror’s relevant experience will be used as a means of evaluating the capability of the Offeror to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP. The Government will only review seven (7) projects for construction. Any projects submitted in excess of the seven (7) for Construction

Experience will not be considered.

Offerors who submit relevant projects that demonstrate additional experience with construction projects of $50,000,000 and above, beyond the one (1) required project, may be considered more favorably than those that do not.

Offerors who submit relevant projects that demonstrate additional experience with design-build projects above and beyond the three (3) required projects may be considered more favorably than those that do not.

Offerors who submit relevant projects that demonstrate experience with a variety of the above examples of relevant construction project types may be considered more favorably than those that do not.

Offerors who submit relevant projects that demonstrate experience with new construction (see definition) on a variety of the above examples of relevant construction project types under a single project may be considered more favorably than those that do not.

Offerors who demonstrate experience with both new construction (see definition) AND repair/renovation (see definition) within a single, relevant project(s) may be considered more favorably than those that do not.

FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE

a. Proposal Submission Requirements:

Submit Past Performance Questionnaires (Exhibit “C”) and CCASS/ACASS/CPARS evaluations under Tab “2” immediately following each of the project data sheets to which they pertain. Submit any other past performance information under Tab “3.”

If a completed Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS) or Contractor Performance Assessment Rating System (CPARS) evaluation is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal for each project included in Factor 2 for Construction Experience. If there is not a completed CCASS, ACASS, or CPARS evaluation, submit a Past Performance Questionnaire (Exhibit “C”) for each project included in Factor 2 for Construction Experience. The Offeror should provide completed Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) in the proposal. Offerors may use PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs, but Offerors must include these in the proposal and shall not incorporate these by reference. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact Michelle Sanders at michelle.sanders@navy.mil.

Offerors may provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on projects submitted under Factor 2 – Experience. Offerors may also address any adverse past performance issues. Explanations shall not exceed one (1) double-sided page (or two (2) single-sided pages) in total.

The Government reserves the right to contact references for verification or additional information. The Government’s inability to contact any of the Offeror’s references or the references unwillingness to provide the information requested may affect the Government’s evaluation of this factor.

Performance awards or additional information submitted will not be considered.

All Offerors (both large and small businesses) shall submit, on Exhibit “D” (Past Performance – Small Business Utilization) under Tab “3,” the requested information for each project submitted in Factor 2 (Experience) in order to validate their prior utilization of small business subcontracting. Past performance information submitted for projects other than those submitted in Factor 2 will not be considered.

· If established goals were not met on any submitted projects, an explanation detailing the reason why the goals were not met and the corrective actions taken is required.

Note: Small business Offerors shall clearly identify their small business category for each project submitted. On Exhibit “D” (Past Performance – Small Business Utilization), items (a) – (h) are for SUBCONTRACTED values only. Do not include self performed work under these items.

b. Basis of Evaluation:

This evaluation focuses on how well the Offeror performed on the recent, relevant projects submitted under Factor 2 – Experience. In addition to the above, the Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government.

Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through CPARS using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of Contractors who are part of a partnership or joint venture identified in the Offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror.

The Government will consider the recency and relevance of the information, the source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the Contractor’s performance. This evaluation is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination. The assessment of the Offeror’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the Offeror’s probability to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP.

With respect to relevancy, past performance of greater relevancy will have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably in past performance and will receive a Neutral Confidence rating.

The Government is seeking to determine whether the Offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to subcontract to Small Business (SB) concerns, including Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone Small Business (HUBZone SB), Veteran- Owned Small Business (VOSB), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns; and, if applicable, Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI) and Alaska Native Corporations (ANCs) and Indian Tribes.

The basis of evaluation will include the extent to which the Offeror has utilized small businesses in the listed socioeconomic categories when awarding subcontracts, as well as their efforts and successes in compliance with established small business subcontracting goals (if applicable), on the recent, relevant projects submitted under Factor 2 (Experience).

· Proposals that demonstrate strong historical subcontracting to small businesses and/or the various socioeconomic categories (SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB, and/or SDVOSB) above the project subcontracting goals may be rated higher.

· Proposals that fail to provide required and complete information may be rated lower.
