SAME PDF.

1. The Proposal shall be typed and submitted in clearly-written English

2. Each Offeror must submit a Technical Proposal and a Price Proposal. The Technical Proposal and the Price Proposal must be submitted as separate attachments. Both the Technical and price proposal shall be paginated (contain consecutive page numbers on each page).

Also, do not include links to websites in your proposal. Technical Proposals will not be provided to the price team and Price Proposals will not be provided to the technical team.

Therefore, information submitted in the wrong Volume could lead to the proposal being determined “unacceptable” if materially incomplete in any aspect.

7. Do not attempt to modify the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the technical or price proposal or add conditions or qualifications to your offer. Should the Offeror include terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the Solicitation, the offer may be determined "unacceptable" and thus ineligible for award. Any questions related to specific terms and conditions contained within the Solicitation should be resolved prior to submission of the offer. Notwithstanding the above, the Offeror must clearly describe on the Proposal Cover Sheet submitted with the Price Proposal any modifications to the contractual and/or technical terms and conditions of the solicitation contained in the Offer.

8. Failure to submit required documents or failure to properly complete documents may result in rejection of the offer without further evaluation. Therefore, Offerors are urged to follow instructions carefully and to speak with the Contracting Officer if the Offeror does not understand any part of the Solicitation.

b. DISCUSSIONS.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise form the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

An ongoing project will be considered to be within the last three (3) years, but still must meet the percentage completion requirement.

At least one (1) of the projects must demonstrate that they are same or similar to the Project described in the Solicitation. “Same or Similar” as referenced below, is defined as experience on projects that are the same or similar in size, scope, complexity and dollar magnitude as the Project described in the Solicitation.

To receive credit as experience for work which the Prime Contractor previously performed as a Subcontractor, the experience form must state in detail the nature of the work performed as a Subcontractor, the total percentage of the overall contract performed as a Subcontractor and the total amount of work performed as a Subcontractor. Example: Job as a Subcontractor performed 50% of the work on a $40 Million contract, (0.5 X $40M = $20M). To receive credit as experience the total of work performed must be valued at over $20,000,000.00.

To receive credit as experience for work performed as a Joint Venture, the experience form must state in detail the nature of the work performed by both of the Joint Venture partners, the total percentage of the work performed by both of the Joint Venture partners, and the total amount of work performed by both of the Joint Venture partners.

FACTOR 2, TAB 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

Security to be included in project.

***PAST PERFORMANCE describes how well the Offeror performed previous construction projects.

Performance under a project will be determined “acceptable” if the Offeror has obtained or demonstrates a performance evaluation rating of at least “satisfactory,” or equivalent, on the project and it meets the following requirements:

A project must demonstrate that it is the same or similar to the Project described in the solicitation.

Each submitted PPQ form must describe a project that is valued at over $6,000,000.00 AND demonstrate that it is at least 75% complete within the last three (3) years from the solicitation issue date.

The Offeror shall provide its System for Award Management (SAM) Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code and Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) in Block 1 of the PPQ. A DUNS number must be provided if the Offeror possesses a DUNS number. If not, the Offeror must state that it has no DUNS number.

To receive credit for past performance as a Joint Venture, the PPQ form MUST state in detail the nature of the work performed by both of the Joint Venture partners, the total percentage of the work performed by both of the Joint Venture partners, AND the total amount of work performed by both of the Joint Venture partners. The Offeror must have performed 60% of the work and would have to have been the prime contractor. Example: Joint Venture member performed work as prime and the total amount of work performed was 60% on a $30Million contract, (0.6 X $30M = $18M). To receive credit as past performance the total of work performed must be valued at over $3,000,000.00.

The Government will also consider the quality of the Offeror’s relevant past performance. The PPQ included in this solicitation is provided for the Offeror to submit to the client for each project the Offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 2 – Past Performance. Ensure correct phone numbers and emailaddresses are provided for the client point-of-contact. Completed PPQs must be submitted with your proposal. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before the proposal closing date, the Offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first two (2) pages of the PPQ which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s).

Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires.

OFFERORS SHALL NOT INCORPORATE BY REFERENCE INTO THEIR PROPOSAL PPQs PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED FOR OTHER REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonable assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR

15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “Acceptable.”
