3. PROPOSAL FORMAT

3.1. Purpose: These instructions prescribe the format of proposals, and describe the approach for the development and presentation of the proposed data. The proposal shall include all of the information requested in the specific instructions. Failure to include all information requested may adversely affect the evaluation.

3.1.1. 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.

3.1.2. Offerors are cautioned to submit enough information to enable the evaluation committee to fully ascertain each offeror’s capability to perform all of the requirements contemplated by this solicitation. All commitments made in the proposal may become a part of the resultant contract. The data submitted with each proposal should be complete and concise, but not overly elaborate. Excessive reliance on promotional brochures is discouraged.

3.1.3. Written proposals shall be prepared on standard 8.5 x 11 inch paper (charts may be landscaped but must be on 8.5 x 11 inch paper) and shall be in a legible font size (10 min.). All pages of each proposal shall be appropriately numbered, and identified with the RFP number. For ease of reference, consecutive page numbering with tabs is required. Type size for graphics, charts, diagrams and tables shall be of an appropriate font and size for the application, and must be clearly readable without magnification assistance to the normal eye. Text lines shall be no less than single-space. To the maximum extent practicable, proposal submission shall be double sided. Where page limits exist, a page is defined as one single side of a page. Double-sided pages count as two pages. Unless otherwise stated, tabs, indexes and dividers do not count in the page count.

3.1.4. Binding: Elaborate format and binding are neither necessary nor desirable. All binders will be capable of lying flat when opened. Three ring binders are preferred. The cover and spine of each binder will clearly identify the offeror’s name, Project number, RFP number, RFP title and copy number, (e.g. copy 2 of 3). The original for each volume will be clearly identified on the cover and the spine. All binders will allow for easy removal and replacement of pages.

3.1.5. Indexing: Each binder will contain a “Table of Contents” for that volume. The “Table of Contents” will identify major areas, paragraphs and subparagraphs by number and title, as well as by page number and volume locations. Tab indexing will be used to identify sections as appropriate.

3.1.6. Electronic Copy: Provide one electronic copy of ALL volumes. Electronic copies shall be submitted on CD/DVD save in Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat format.

3.1.7. If revised proposals are requested, all proposal revisions shall be submitted on colored paper as page changes with each page identified by date and page number. Revised pages shall be printed on one side and punched with a 3-hole punch along the left margin. The number of revised copies to be submitted is the same as the initial proposal in accordance with FAR 15.306 (a). Requests for such information do not constitute discussions.

3.1.8. The offeror shall be held responsible for the validity of all information supplied in his/her proposal, including that provided by potential subcontractors. Should subsequent investigation disclose that the facts and conditions were not as stated, the proposal may be rejected.

4. PROPOSAL VOLUME CONTENTS

4.1. Each offeror’s proposal shall be submitted as set forth below and all information shall be confined to the appropriate part to facilitate independent evaluation. Proposals that do not include the requested minimum information may be eliminated from further consideration for award.

In order to better understand the prices proposed, the contractor shall provide a narrative to explain the thought process, approach, and rationale used to arrive at the proposed prices. The narrative shall also discuss the three largest cost items. The Government is not seeking a review of separate cost elements nor is looking for further breakdown of the prices proposed.

4.1.2.1. Volume 2 Part 1 is comprised of three (3) subfactors. Subfactor 1 Experience and Capability; Subfactor 2 Quality Control and Subfactor 3 Construction Schedule. For the following sub-factors, the factors are listed in descending order of importance.

4.1.2.1.1. Government acknowledges that the technical proposal will involve discussion of some 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, this 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. Government intends to use Performance Relevance Questionnaire & Company Specialized Experience Part 1 (Exhibit A) information in the evaluation of experience for Subfactor 1. A reiteration of the information provided in Exhibit A is neither required nor desired. Offeror should reference this information by providing a short summation of their relevant experience to meet the submission requirements of this subfactor.

4.1.2.2. Sub-Factor 1, Experience & Capability Proposal. The Experience and Capability Proposal is limited to 10 single pages and resumes to 2 pages each, exclusive of table of contents, tabs, and dividers. Pages in excess of the limit will not be evaluated.

Specifically discuss experience with Intelligence Community Directive, (ICD), 705 (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities) building standards. If no experience, state and indicate in detail how you plan to overcome this lack of experience for both personnel and project. The onus is solely on the offeror to indicate in detail how the offeror plans to overcome this lack of experience. (Resumes or experience cut sheets are limited to 2 pages each and are not part of the page count.) In the event the intended person is not part of the offeror’s organization at the time the proposal is submitted then a completed Exhibit B, “Subcontractor/Team/Key Personnel Information and Consent Form” is also required or the information will not be considered. The Exhibit D Letter of Commitment is required for the Subcontractor to be considered.

4.1.2.3. Sub-Factor 2, Quality Control. The proposal narrative is limited to 5 pages and demonstrates that the quality control staff, with lines of authority, is adequate to meet the contract’s requirements. The proposed Quality Control answers should provide a detailed explanation of how quality issues are dealt with on various types of construction projects and as a minimum, meetings, inspections, submittal reviews, correction of non-compliant work and how you intend to ensure non-reoccurrence and reporting of quality problems to Government officials. (Note: A Quality Control Plan is not required with this proposal).

4.1.2.4. Sub-Factor 3, Construction Schedule and commissioning approach/timeline is obtained for the purposes of evaluating an offerors understanding of the requirements of the schedule and commissioning. The Schedule itself is not subject to page limits; however any narrative accompanying the schedule submission is limited to 5 pages, excluding tabs and indexes.

4.1.2.4.1. Provide Construction Schedule in a Gantt chart that shows the complete project schedule from Notice to Proceed date of April 1, 2021 (estimated) 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 365 day period of performance requirements per FAR 52.211-10. Also, include a narrative discussing the scheduling processes and resource allocation that ensure completion and control of schedule progress from beginning to the end of the project.

4.1.3. VOLUME 2, PART 2, OFFEROR PAST/PRESENT PERFORMANCE

4.1.3.1. 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% within 6 years preceding this solicitation for the prime contractor and major subcontractors intended to be used for the performance of this solicitation. If a project submitted was completed by the offeror’s major subcontractor, the offeror is responsible for coordinating with their major subcontractor and submitting a completed Performance Relevancy Questionnaire.

Volume 2 includes the offeror’s Performance Relevancy Questionnaire, Exhibit A Parts 1 and 2; and any discussion and or additional information, awards, letters, etc. concerning past/present performance the offeror includes.

Offerors are cautioned to complete all the questions on the Exhibit A Parts 1 and Part 2. Detailed instructions are included in Exhibit A.

4.1.3.2. Offerors shall use the Past Performance Reference Package, Exhibit C, to obtain references from past and present clients.

4.1.3.3. Past/Present Performance, which includes current on-going (present) performance that is complete to 70% or greater within 6 years preceding this solicitation 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 A’s 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.

4.1.3.4. Offerors shall discuss their performance using the Performance Relevancy Questionnaire format, Exhibit A, Part 1. Prepare not more than three (3) of these documents. Contractors should select their projects carefully because the quality of the contractor’s relevant performance is more important than the quantity of projects submitted.

4.1.3.5. Use the Exhibit A format to provide information that demonstrates a history of performance on contracts that are similar in scope, complexity, and cost magnitude to this project’s plans and specifications. Explain what aspects of the contract you find relevant to the proposed effort and identify how each contract ranks, in terms of relevancy, with respect to the other contracts addressed in proposal.

4.1.3.6. Offerors should consider the currency and relevancy of the past/present performance information to be considered, the performance must have been completed during the past six (6) years. The period begins six (6) years prior to the solicitation release date and includes current performance. Performance that is more current may have greater impact than older performance.

4.1.3.7. 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.

4.1.3.8. Offerors are encouraged to include with their proposal information any problems encountered on the identified contracts and the offeror's correction actions.

4.1.3.9. Past Performance References-REQUIRED-A “Final” Performance Evaluation (Construction)(also referred to as CPARS Evaluation) issued for a project may be included in lieu of sending out reference package for the project. OR Offerors shall prepare and submit to prior clients(s) of all the projects listed on your Exhibit A submission a Reference Package (Exhibit C)(Detailed instruction are included in Exhibit C 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 to the contracting officer via email at: katherine.fox@us.af.mil 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.

4.1.3.10. In assessing past performance, the Government may also consider the past/present performance of the offeror’s key personnel, Project Manager, Quality Control Manager and Site Superintendent, as it relates to previous projects. In the event the intended key personnel for this solicitation’s project do not have demonstrated past performance in the project(s) submitted in the Exhibit A’s, the Government reserves to obtain reference information additional information is required.

4.1.3.11. Each key person without prior past performance history demonstrated on the submitted Exhibit A shall provide a summary of experience or a resume. As a reminder and in accordance with Section 00110 and 00120 in the event the intended person is not part of the offeror’s organization at the time the proposal is submitted then a completed Exhibit B, “Subcontractor/Team/Key Personnel Information and Consent Form” is also required or the information will not be considered. The Government may seek additional references and reserves the right to use the information provided to obtain additional references.

4.1.3.12. Offerors are advised that the Government may use all data provided by the offeror in this volume 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.

4.1.4. VOLUME 3, SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION PLAN

4.1.4.1. All offerors shall identify the extent to which Small Businesses (SBs), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran- Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), HUBZone Small Businesses, and Woman-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs) would be utilized in the performance of this proposed contract. For small businesses, as defined by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code applicable to this solicitation, the offeror shall identify their own participation as a SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZONE SB, SDB, or WOSB, and it will be considered in evaluating the proposed extent of participation of small businesses (use Exhibit F – Small Businesses Participation Plan Format).

4.1.4.2. Offerors must propose goals for Small Business Participation. Small business participation goals are to be an estimated percentage of total contract dollars (total proposed amount including options). Provide an overall goal to be accomplished through collective small business participation from any type of small business, to include all small business programs, and propose individual goals for each small business program utilizing Exhibit F. The work to be performed directly by a small business prime offeror will be included the offeror’s Small Business Participation goal.

4.1.4.3. This factor includes a minimum Total Small Business Participation goal (for all types of small business combined) for this acquisition of 32% of total contract dollars (total proposed amount including options).

4.1.4.4. Separate and distinct from the Small Businesses Participation Plan, large business offerors must also submit a Subcontracting Plan, as required by FAR 52.219-9, under Volume 1. Large businesses will not be eligible for award if they fail to submit an acceptable Subcontracting Plan. The Subcontracting Plan will be based on subcontracted dollars rather than total contract dollars but shall reflect and be consistent with the commitments to small business firms outlined in the Extent of Participation of Small Businesses (i.e., dollars shown for each type of small business in each of the plans should match).
