1. National Guard Bureau, Agency Protest Program

1.1. NG Agency Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns with the National Guard(NG) as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or other external forum.

The NG protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from filing. An agency protest may be filed with either the Contracting Officer or the NG Agency's Protest Decision Authority, but not both, in accordance with NG protest procedures.

To be timely, the protests must be filed with the periods specified in FAR 33.103.

1) Protests to the Contracting Officer shall be filed under FAR 52.233-2 at:

PROPOSAL EVALUATIONS AND BASIS FOR AWARD

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. BASIS FOR AWARD

1.1. The Government intends to award Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOCs) from this solicitation. An indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract will be awarded to all qualifying offerors in accordance with FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii)(A). A "qualifying offeror", in accordance with FAR 2.101, is one that is determined to be a responsible source, submits a technically acceptable proposal that conforms to the requirements of the solicitation, and the contracting officer has no reason to believe would be likely to offer other than fair and reasonable pricing. For this evaluation process, interested offerors submit specific experience and past performance proposals for review and consideration by the Government. The Government will evaluate these proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein.

1.2. The Government intends to make the MATOC awards without holding discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, offerors should include their best terms and conditions in their initial offer. Offerors should not assume they will have an opportunity to participate in discussions or be asked to submit a revised offer. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Source Selection Authority (SSA) later determines them to be necessary. By submitting an offer in response to this solicitation, offerors are agreeing to comply with all terms and conditions contained in the solicitation.

1.3. The source selection process will be conducted in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.3, Source Selection procedures. Offers will be evaluated using the criteria listed in "Evaluation Factors for Award." Noncompliance with the RFP requirements may raise serious questions regarding an offeror's technical ability, past performance and/or pricing and may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award.

Failure to include all information requested may adversely affect the evaluation. A proposal that merely reiterates or promises to accomplish the requirements of the RFP will be considered unacceptable. A proposal that is orderly and sufficiently documented will be easy for the Government to understand and will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation.

1.4. The Contracting Officer will begin the evaluation process by conducting a proposal compliance review for all timely-received proposals for determination of basic proposal adequacy prior to providing the proposals to the evaluators. Failure to provide a complete proposal may result in the proposal being removed from further consideration for award. Failure to address any evaluation factor shall be grounds for elimination from evaluation and consideration for award.

1.5. ENFORCEABILITY OF PROPOSAL: The proposal must set forth full, accurate and complete information as required by this solicitation. By submission of the offer, the Offeror agrees that all items proposed (if applicable e.g., key personnel, subcontractors, etc.) will be utilized for the duration of the contract and any substitutions shall require prior Contracting Officer's approval.

2. EVALUATION APPROACH

2.1. All proposals shall be subject to evaluation by the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB). The overarching evaluation approach for all factors and subfactors is as follows:

The proposal submitted will be used to determine whether the offeror is a responsible source, has a proposal that meets the requirements of the solicitation, and provides no reason why the offeror would likely offer other than fair and reasonable pricing.

2.2. The Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist will initiate the source selection process and assemble the SSEB, providing them the proposals that meet the solicitation requirements. Proposals that don't meet these requirements won't be reviewed further by the SSEB. A detailed debriefing will not be available for those proposals not selected for review by the SSEB. While the intent is to award without discussions, clarifications may be made to clarify certain aspects of the proposal or resolve minor or clerical errors consistent with FAR 15.306(a).

2.3. Proposals will be evaluated consistent with the uniform evaluation procedure set forth in this section of the solicitation. The SSEB will conduct an in-depth review and evaluation of all conforming proposals against the factors established in the solicitation. Each member of the SSEB will independently evaluate all information provided in a proposal against the prescribed evaluation factors. The overall evaluation approach for all factors will include evaluating proposals to determine if the offerors proposal satisfies the requirements specified in the solicitation.

2.4. The proposals will be evaluated for technical acceptability (including past performance); they will not be ranked. For an offeror to be considered for award, the proposal must receive an "Acceptable" rating for each evaluation factor. A proposal receiving a rating of "Unacceptable" in any factor will not be eligible for award.

2.5. After SSEB members independently evaluate the proposals, proposal evaluations will then be discussed among the SSEB voting members to reach a consensus on each evaluation factor and on the overall proposal. The results of the evaluations will be summarized in an SSEB report, which will be forwarded to the Source Selection Authority (SSA) for use in making a final award decision. As indicated, awards will be made to all qualifying offerors. The final selection of contractors will be made from the single evaluation.

2.6. Offerors are reminded that unsupported promises to comply with contractual requirements will not be sufficient. Proposals must not merely repeat back the contractual requirements, but rather provide substantive, understandable and realistic evidence to support promised performance.

3. EVALUATION FACTORS

All evaluation factors are to be considered equally.

3.1. Factor 1. Corporate Experience.

3.1.1. The Government will evaluate four (4) but no more than five (5) projects that have been performed by the offeror/team member and for which the offeror was the prime contractor performing and/or managing the work. The projects shall demonstrate the offeror's experience in performance of work similar to the work required by this solicitation. If fewer than four (4) projects are submitted, the offeror will be considered ineligible for award.

If more than five (5) projects are submitted, only the first five (5) projects as identified in the proposal will be evaluated.

3.1.2. Offerors must submit projects that meet one or more of the following criteria:

a. At least one (1) of the submitted projects for new construction within the state of Montana. The value of at least one (1) project submitted in this category shall have an award value of no less than $250,000.00.

b. At least one (1) of the submitted projects for roof installation or repair. The project(s) shall convey experience with repair and/or replacement of standard roofing types. The value of at least one (1) project submitted in this category shall have a total award value of no less than $100,000.00. If submitting a general new construction or renovation project that included roofing, offeror shall clearly specify the percentage and dollar value of the project attributed to roofing. The value attributed to roofing shall be at least $100,000.00. The same project cannot be submitted for multiple types of experience.

c. At least one (1) of the submitted projects for construction, repair, or alteration of a mechanical system (e.g., HVAC systems or controls). The value of at least one (1) project submitted in this category shall have a total award value of no less than $50,000.00. If submitting a general new construction or renovation project that included construction, repair or alteration of a mechanical system (e.g., HVAC systems or controls), offeror shall clearly specify the percentage and dollar value of the project attributed to mechanical systems. The value attributed to construction, repair or alteration of a mechanical system (e.g., HVAC systems or controls) shall be at least $50,000.00. The same project cannot be submitted for multiple types of experience.

d. At least one (1) of the submitted projects for renovation or repair of a facility. The value of at least one (1) project submitted in this category shall have an award value of no less than $100,000.00.

e. All submitted projects shall have been awarded to the offeror as the prime contractor. In the case of an offeror which is a Joint Venture (JV), the project shall have been awarded to one (1) of the members of the JV as the prime contractor. In the case of an offeror that is a prime contractor /subcontractor team, the project may have been completed by the subcontractor if a formal teaming agreement is provided.

f. All project information must be submitted using the format of or equivalent to Exhibit A - PERFORMANCE RELEVANCY

QUESTIONNAIRE.

3.1.3 Recency:

3.1.3.1 All submitted projects shall have been completed within five (5) calendar years before the closing date of this solicitation or, if active, shall have at least sixty percent (60%) construction progress completed before the closing date of this solicitation.

3.1.4. Relevancy:

3.1.4.1. Where a project was awarded as a task order under an IDIQ-type contract, offerors are cautioned to submit information specific to the project awarded by task order rather than the base IDIQ contract. The Government will not permit multiple projects, such as individual task orders, to be combined to meet the minimum value of any of the four (4) project types indicated above. Projects with an award value below the values stated for each category will not be considered. Offerors shall provide sufficient detail to clearly demonstrate relevancy.

3.1.5. For recognized contractor teaming arrangements, offerors shall submit a minimum of one (1) relevant project for each member of the team; but offerors remain responsible to collectively submit the minimum of four (4) relevant projects. Offerors shall not exceed the maximum of five (5) projects. Offerors shall indicate which team member was the prime contractor on each project. Offerors shall also describe their primary roles/duties in execution of the work (i.e., which major components of the project were completed by the prime's staff and which major components were subcontracted).

3.1.6. Offerors shall clearly demonstrate how their submitted projects are similar in size, scope and complexity, including any distinctive or unique features and any project-specific information that supports the project's relevance to the work required by this solicitation.

3.1.7. Where a project consisting of a base award and one (1) or more options is submitted by an offeror to meet the recency, relevancy or value criteria for Factor 1, the same base contract and options will be used to evaluate the remaining criteria for Factor 1 and Factor 2, Past Performance.

Factor 1 will be rated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis, as follows:

Rating Definition

Acceptable

Proposal meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Offeror has submitted four (4) or more projects and has demonstrated experience with all specified criteria among the submitted projects.

Unacceptable

Proposal does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Offeror did not submit at least four (4) projects, or the projects submitted did not demonstrate experience with all specified criteria.

3.2. Factor 2. Past Performance.

3.2.1. Offerors shall submit past performance information for each project submitted for Factor 1, Corporate Experience.

3.2.2. For each of the projects submitted for Factor 1, the offeror shall submit an interim or final performance evaluation from the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) - AND/OR - request a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Exhibit B) from a client reference.

3.2.3. For any projects that did not/do not meet the original schedule or performance requirements, resulting in assessment of liquidated damages, offerors shall provide a brief explanation of the reason(s) for the shortcomings and any corrective actions taken to avoid recurrence.

3.2.4. Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ). A blank PPQ and sample cover letter are provided as Exhibit B within this solicitation. Offerors shall send a PPQ and cover letter to the client for each project submitted for Factor 1, Corporate Experience, for which a CPARS report is not available.

For purposes of this solicitation, the Government defines the "client" as the project owner for the submitted project. The PPQ package should be sent to the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for Government contracts, or to individuals in similar positions (such as Purchasing or Technical Representatives) for commercial contracts. Offerors shall complete all information in Blocks 1-4 of the PPQ form, to include a complete and accurate project description. The client shall complete Blocks 5-8 and the rating sheets. The project clients shall email the completed PPQ forms and rating sheets directly to the Government at and no later than five (5) adam.d.sackman.civ@army.mil jodi.l.zolynski.civ@army.mil calendar days before the date proposals are due. Completed PPQs should NOT be returned to the offeror. Offerors are responsible for following up with clients to ensure they complete and submit the PPQs on time.

3.2.4.1. For each PPQ sent to a client reference, the offeror shall submit a copy of the PPQ form with Blocks 1-4 completed, along with the name, telephone number, and e-mail address of the client Point of Contact (POC), with their proposal.
