VOLUME 2, PART 1, OFFEROR TECHNICAL CAPABILITY PROPOSAL
Volume 2 Part 1 is comprised of two (2) subfactors: Subfactor 1 Experience & Subfactor 2 Construction Schedule.
The Government acknowledges that the technical proposal will involve discussion of the same projects/contracts discussed in the Past Performance volume. While Past Performance examines how an offeror performed in the past, so as to determine the probability of success on future projects, the Experience subfactor examines the offeror's experience with complex multidiscipline project management and execution and how the offeror demonstrates an understanding of the contract's requirements taking this experience into consideration. The Government intends to use Exhibit A information in the evaluation of experience for Subfactor 1. A reiteration of the current plans and specs is neither required nor desired. Offerors should address Exhibit A by describing how the work which was successfully performed on a previous project was similar in scope, size, magnitude and complexity to the work which is required on the current project.
Subfactor 1 - Experience: The Experience Proposal is limited to 18 pages (six (6) pages per relevant project;
three (3) projects maximum), exclusive of table of contents, tabs, and dividers. Pages in excess of the limit will not be evaluated. The elements in subfactor 1 are of equal importance.
Offerors are instructed to submit project information on the three (3) most relevant contracts performed by the prime contractor, which in the offerors opinion are most similar to the current project in scope, size, magnitude & complexity based on four (4) Key Points the Government has identified as follows:
KEY POINT 1: Unique Site Conditions;
KEY POINT 2: Specific Building Requirements;
KEY POINT 3: Specific Electrical Requirements;
KEY POINT 4: Security Requirements
For the purposes of the evaluation, the Government has defined the relevant experience requirements for each Key Point as follows:
KEY POINT 1: Unique Site Conditions – For this Key Point, the Government is seeking relevant experience which demonstrates the following: 1) Experience managing a construction site regulated by NYSDEC Storm water Pollution Prevention Plan along with installation of engineered storm water structures; 2) Experience with construction projects within or contiguous to an active Government airfield.
KEY POINT 2: Specific Building Requirement – For this Key Point, the Government is seeking relevant experience which demonstrates the following: 1) Construction of a >10,000s/f industrial/business structure (Type II-B Construction); 2) Air Barrier Separate – 3 separate enveloped sections/ controlled HVAC Systems; 3) High bay area with thickened slab capable of supporting heavy equipment (similar to a full motion C-130 flight simulator); 4) Bridge crane installation.
KEY POINT 3: Specific Electrical Requirements - For this Key Point, the Government is seeking relevant experience which demonstrates the following: 1) Underground High Voltage Line Installation (650’ distance in connection to overhead utility line); 2) Transformer Installation (13.2kV-480/277V, 3 Phase, 500kVA medium voltage stepdown transformer); 3) Provision / Installation of appropriately sized Emergency Standby Power System.
KEY POINT 4: Security Requirements - For this Key Point, the Government is seeking relevant experience which demonstrates the following: 1) Intrusion Detection and Access Control Systems; 2) ICD-705 Compliant Wall and Concrete Ceiling Lid Construction / Soundproofing.
If the identified project did not include experience with a particular Key Point, so state. While the Government understands each identified project may not include experience with every aspect of each Key Point, offerors are cautioned that projects submitted for review which contain relevant experience with more (or all) of the Key Points listed will be evaluated more favorably than projects that contain less (or none) of the Key Points. Stated another way, offerors will be evaluated more favorably if, for each Key Point, the offeror clearly describes how each project they submit for Exhibit A, is similar to the current project, based on the relevant experience requirements the Government has defined for each Key Point. Offerors are cautioned that the Government will not make any assumptions or surmise an offerors capabilities based on experience which is not clearly described in Exhibit A.
Subfactor 2 - Construction Schedule: The evaluation will focus on the offeror's ability to properly allocate resources and schedule construction as well as concurrent activities based on a sound understanding of the current project requirements. The Schedule itself is not subject to page limits;
however the schedule narrative submission is limited to 5 pages, excluding tabs, and indexes.
The offeror shall provide a schedule using a Gantt chart that shows a complete project schedule considering a Notice to Proceed date of 15 February 2023 to include all construction activities as well as concurrent activities, and outline the critical path activities that will show successful execution of the construction project within the period of performance requirements per FAR 52.211-10. Also, include a narrative discussing the scheduling processes and resource allocation, as well as any other special considerations the offeror deems important, that ensure completion and control of schedule progress from beginning to the end of the project.
VOLUME 2, PART 2 OFFEROR PAST/PRESENT PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Volume 2 Part 2 is obtained for the purpose of evaluating Past/Present Performance. Past/Present Performance includes current/on-going performance that is complete to 70% or greater. The Government is requesting past performance information on a maximum of three (3) projects, which shall be the same three (3) projects, which the offeror submits for evaluation under Technical Evaluation Subfactor 1, "Experience" (exhibit A).
Offeror's are cautioned that while a contractor with no relevant experience shall be evaluated as "Neutral" for Past/Present Performance, the Technical Evaluation, Subfactor 1 is a separate and distinct evaluation and lack of relevant experience may result in an "Unacceptable" Technical and/or overall rating.
Volume 2 includes the offeror's Past Performance Reference Questionnaire, Exhibits B & C:
Offerors are cautioned to completely read all information contained in Exhibit B. Exhibit B is for the offeror's information/ use only and is not required to be returned with the offeror's proposal.
Offerors shall use the National Guard Past Performance Questionnaire, Exhibit C, to obtain references from past and present clients.
Past/Present Performance, which includes current on-going (present) performance that is complete to 70% or greater will be evaluated using the evaluation criteria set forth in Section 00120 of the solicitation. If the offeror represents the combining of two or more companies, joint venture or formal teaming agreement, for the purpose of this RFP, each company shall complete Exhibit As and obtain Exhibit C references. The Government may contact these references and may consider this information as well as information obtained from any other sources when evaluating the offeror's past/present performance.
Offerors shall be advised that the information provided in the Subfactor 1 - Experience Proposal (Exhibit A) documents will be considered by the Government in determining a relevancy rating for each project provided.
Additionally, the Government will consider the similarity of construction methods employed, scope, complexity, cost magnitude, location and client type (i.e Federal Government) of each project submitted in comparison to this project's plans and specifications.
Offerors should consider the recency and relevancy of the past/present performance information to be considered, the performance must have been completed during the past five (5) years. The period begins five (5) years prior to the solicitation release date and includes current performance. Performance that is more current may have greater impact than older performance.
In determining relevancy to the solicitation requirement, offerors should consider the similarity of construction methods employed, size, scope, cost magnitude, location, client type (e.g. federal government) and complexity of work performed to those required for the proposed effort. Location should also be considered.
Offerors are encouraged to include with their proposal information any problems encountered on the identified contracts and the offeror's correction actions.
shall prepare and submit to prior client(s) of all the projects listed on your Exhibit A submission a Reference Package (Exhibit C) (Detailed instructions are included in Exhibit B Package). This includes correspondence explaining the requirement to obtain an independent evaluation of prior contract performance, and the Past Performance Questionnaire for use in evaluating Past Performance.
Inform references that completed Performance Questionnaire should be returned promptly to the Contracting Office via email at: 109.AW.FAL.MSC.Contracting@us.af.mil in order to arrive no later than the closing date for receipt of proposals. Offeror must not review the Past Performance Questionnaire prior to submission.
They are to be submitted by the client/evaluator directly to the Contracting Officer. Offeror's should follow-up and encourage references to get the questionnaires to the Contracting Officer in a timely manner.
Offerors are advised that the Government may use all data provided by the offeror in this volume (including Volume 2 Part 1, Technical) and data obtained from any other sources, to include, but not limited to, data independently obtained from other Government or commercial sources; from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program/Project Managers, Contracting Officers or rely upon personal business experience with the offeror. The Government reserves the rights to obtain and evaluate past performance information from any source it deems appropriate. While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of providing current accurate and complete past/ present performance information rests with the offeror.
SECTION 00120
SECTION 00120 PROPOSAL EVALUATION AND BASIS FOR AWARD
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. A Firm Fixed Price Contract is anticipated. The Government intends to award a single contract to a qualified Small Business Offeror deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose proposal conforms to all the RFP's requirements and is judged to represent the Best Value to the Government in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out in the solicitation. The award will be made based on the best overall (i.e. best value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the three (3) evaluation factors: Technical, Past Performance and Price. To arrive at a Best Value decision, the Source Selection Authority will integrate the evaluation of Technical, Past/Present Performance and Price as set out in the solicitation. In terms of the relative importance of the factors, the Technical factor is approximately equal to Past/Present Performance;
when combined however, the non-cost factors are more important than the Price Factor. The firm that represents the best value to the Government will be selected for award in accordance with FAR 15.1 Source Selection Processes and Techniques.
1.2. To arrive at a Best Value decision, this acquisition will utilize FAR Part 15.101-1 tradeoff process unless the lowest priced offeror (with a price deemed reasonable and realistic) is also deemed to be the highest rated in terms of non-price evaluation criteria. If the lowest priced offeror is also the highest rated in terms of non-Price Factors, no tradeoff is necessary. Further, there is no tradeoff necessary between any offer that is lower priced and higher rated in terms of non-Price Factors with respect to any other offers that are higher priced and lower rated for the non-Price Factors. While the Government and the Source Selection Authority will strive for maximum objectivity, the evaluation process, by its nature, is subjective, and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire evaluation process.
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, pricing and/or past performance and may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award.
