FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

Offerors shall submit the following for Factor 1:

The offeror shall demonstrate recent, relevant experience on similar projects, using the Experience Overview Sheet (Attachment A), and Experience Form – (Attachment B) at the end of the section. Offerors may identify national, state and local government and private contracts that are similar to these requirements. If the offeror is a joint venture, each firm shall provide information, demonstrating experience relevant to their role on this project and experience of one JV partner will be considered experience of the JV. Submission of projects that are currently well underway (at least 50% construction progress completed) or completed and turned over no later than six (6) years preceding the date of this Solicitation will be considered. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division or unit submitting the offer or by the team member. Experience of divisions or units not performing on this contract will not be considered. The offeror shall submit no more than five (5) example projects or portions of projects similar in scope to the following: Design-Build construction projects performed in Central or Southwest Asia requiring the construction of electrical transmission/Distribution lines and new/expansion of substations of 20kV and 220kV.

The offeror should describe any previous teaming experience between current team members, if not described in the project list. As twenty (20)% of work associated with this project is required to be self-performed, the offeror should demonstrate prior experience by indicating on at least one previous project all self-performed activities related to high-voltage construction. The above information is limited to projects that are well underway or that have been completed and turned over no later than the past six years preceding the date of this solicitation.

EVALUATION PROCEDURES:

Proposals will be evaluated to determine design-build experience of the offeror’s team for relevant contracts and/or projects of the scope and complexity of the project contained in the specifications. Offerors shall provide no more than five (5) projects that demonstrate the breadth and depth of an Offeror’s relevant experience in design and construction of high voltage transmission systems and substations performed in Central or Southwest Asia. Offerors are encouraged to submit the maximum number of relevant projects to increase likelihood that the above requirements are met and elements warranting higher rating are included. A proposal providing fewer than five (5) projects could receive the highest rating available, to the extent that the projects submitted are fully relevant projects. Offerors with three or more projects clearly illustrating self-performance in the installation of high voltage transmission lines and substation will be rated higher.

1. A fully relevant project is the design and construction of a project consisting of power distribution lines and structures of 20kV and 220kV and associated new or expansion of existing substations, that was substantially completed (at least 50% construction progress completed) or completed within the last six (6) years of the issue date of this RFP, performed in Afghanistan, with a contract value of at least $5 Million.

2. For those projects that do not meet the criteria for a fully relevant project, the offeror should submit projects that demonstrate experience in the following areas (in descending order of importance):

a. Projects that demonstrate experience with Design and Construction (Design-Build) of power transmission/distribution lines, towers and substations of 20kV and 220kV constructed in Central or Southwest Asia.

b. Construction of projects consisting of power transmission/distribution lines, structures and substations of 20kV and 220kV constructed in Afghanistan.

c. Construction of projects consisting of power transmission/distribution lines, structures and substations of 20kV and 220kV constructed in Central or Southwest Asia.

d. Design projects consisting of power transmission/distribution lines, structures and substations of 20kV and 220kV performed in Central or Southwest Asia.

3. If a joint venture or subcontractors are proposed, the proposal will receive a higher rating if the proposal contains evidence that either the joint venture entity or the Offeror and subcontractors have worked successfully together on relevant projects.
