INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS

This solicitation is for a firm-fixed price contract for the ANASOC Corps Headquaters Expansion Phases 1 and 2, Camp Commando, Kabul Province, Afghanistan. Work to include: Construction of two headquarter buildings, one conference center, one Joint Operations Center (JOC), one fusion cell building, utilities (water, electrical distribution, communications, sewer lines), demolition and other infrastructure.

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, award will be made to the responsible Offeror whose overall proposal is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government. Pricing shall be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness. Each technical proposal shall be evaluated against the solicitation requirements, assessing the strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies of each proposal.

Magnitude of Construction: The estimated cost of this project is between U.S. $5,000,000 and $10,000,000.

The Primary NAICS code is 236220 with a small business size of $36.5 million.

A. BASIS OF AWARD

1. This is a full and open, 2-phase, design-build construction, source selection procurement which will utilize FAR

Parts 15 and 36 to evaluate proposals and award the contract. Phase 1 proposals from offerors who are determined base access ineligible, based on their rating from the Joint Contingency Contracting System (JCCS/JCXS) at the time of Phase 1 proposal submission deadline, will not be evaluated. Phase 1 proposals from offerors who are being vetted by JCCS at the time of Phase 1 proposal submission deadline, will be evaluated; however, if the offeror has not yet received base access eligible determination at the conclusion of Phase 1 proposal evaluation, the offeror will not be considered for Phase 2 advancement.

Only Phase 1 offerors who advance to Phase 2, will receive the solicitation amendment which provides project drawings and specifications and proposal submittal requirements for the Phase 2 evaluation factors. The

Government’s intention is to advance five (5) Phase 1 offerors to Phase 2.

After the Phase 2 proposal evaluation process has concluded, the Contracting Officer will award a firm-fixed-price, design-build construction contract to the responsible*, base access eligible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation; whose price was determined fair and reasonable; and, whose proposal offers the best overall value to the Government, considering all price and non-price evaluation factors described herein.

*‘Responsible’, in this instance, refers to the meaning of the word as described in FAR 9.104-1.

2. Any information provided in the offeror’s proposal or in response to negotiations, is subject to verification. If the

Government discovers false, inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented information in the offeror’s proposal, that proposal will immediately be removed from consideration and will not be further evaluated or receive contract award.

3. The following are the evaluation factors for Phases 1 and 2 of this solicitation:

Phase 1

Factor 1 – Specialized Experience

Factor 2 – Construction Management Capability

Factor 3 – Past Performance

Phase 2

Factor 4 – Design Capability

Factor 5 – Project Management Approach

Factor 6 – Scheduling Capability

Factor 7 – Key Personnel

Factor 8 – Price

4. ORDER OF IMPORTANCE OF PHASE 1 FACTORS

Factor 1 – Specialized Experience is the discriminator factor that the Government will use to choose the highest technically-rated proposal(s), as this factor is more important than Factor 2 – Construction Management Capability and Factor 3 - Past Performance. Factor 3 - Past Performance is more important than Factor 2 – Construction

Management Capability.

5. ORDER OF IMPORTANCE OF PHASE 2 FACTORS

Factor 4 – Design Capability is the discriminator factor, as this factor is more important than Factors 5, 6 and 7.

Factors 4, 5, 6 and 7, when combined, are approximately equal to cost or price (Factor 8) in importance.

6. Tradeoff source selection procedures, using adjectival ratings, will be utilized for the evaluation of proposal submittals for Factor 1/Specialized Experience, Factor 2/Construction Management Capability and all non-cost/price submittals included in the Phase 2 technical proposal.

The following Table of Combined Technical/Risk Ratings contain the adjectival ratings that will be used by the

Government technical evaluation board to rate the submittals for Factors 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6:

ADJECTIVAL RATING DESCRIPTION

Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and, thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable.

Proposal is unawardable.

The following Table of Confidence Assessment Ratings contain the ratings that the technical evaluation board will use for Factor 3/Past Performance:

Adjectival Rating Description

Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

7. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without conducting discussions with offerors. However, the Government reserves the right to hold discussions if the Contracting Officer determines them to be necessary. The Government may request clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a) at any time after receipt of offeror proposal. For purposes of efficiency, pursuant to FAR 15.306(c)(2), the number of proposals in the Competitive Range, should one be established, may be limited by the Contracting Officer to the quantity that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

B. EVALUATION FACTORS

1. PHASE 1 - The following are the evaluation factors for Phase 1 of this solicitation:

FACTOR 1 - SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE

EVALUATION CRITERIA

This factor evaluates the offeror, as an organization, to determine if the offeror has the qualifications, ability, and capability to successfully execute and complete the design-build construction project contemplated for this solicitation, based on the offeror’s submitted experience and qualification information. Project-related information submitted must demonstrate the offeror’s recent and relevant experience and if the submitted information is similar in size, scope, and complexity to the project in the solicitation.

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s proposal to ensure:

(a) There are at least three (3) projects submitted for evaluation, and no more than five (5) for this factor; (b) The projects submitted for this factor demonstrate the offeror would be capable of successfully executing and completing the design and construction requirements of the project contemplated for this solicitation based on the offeror’s experience as specified on the projects submitted for evaluation;

(c) The projects submitted for this factor are ongoing and substantially complete (construction at least 50% complete) or have completed within the last ten (10) years from the issuance date of this solicitation.

Offerors who submit five (5) projects for evaluation and all 5 projects meet or exceed solicitation criteria/requirements, will be given a higher adjectival rating for this factor than offerors who submit only three (3) or four (4) projects that meet or exceed solicitation criteria/requirements.

FACTOR 2 – CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY

This factor evaluates the offeror’s understanding of, familiarity and experience with:

(a) The USACE three-phase inspection process for construction contracts. This is also known as the USACE Three

Phase Control System. The offeror may describe his experience with this inspection process for projects with the

Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) or the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC), since both organizations have adopted the same USACE quality control and inspection policies and procedures for construction projects;

(b) The design/construction submittal process; and,

(c) A scheduling software program or application as a tool to successfully manage design-build construction projects.

FACTOR 3 - PAST PERFORMANCE

In past performance evaluations, the offeror’s performance record on similar contract efforts, is examined to predict the probability the offeror will successfully perform the proposed contract. The difference between an offeror’s experience and the offeror’s past performance is that experience is what work the offeror has done, and past performance is how well the offeror did it.

This factor evaluates present and past performance information on the offeror as they relate to a variety of performance-related criteria and standards, to include but not limited to the following: (a) the offeror’s technical capability to design utility systems and buildings; (b) technical capability to successfully complete a vertical construction project similar to the project contemplated for this solicitation; (c) ability to meet project milestone schedules; (d) quality of workmanship; (e) compliance with onsite safety and security requirements; (f) the offeror’s quality control program; (g) ability to effectively manage the project; (h) whether the offeror is reasonable to work with; and, (i) whether the client/customer would contract with the offeror on future projects.

Past performance information on the offeror will be obtained through various means, including telephonic inquiries or emails to references or previous customers, previous past performance questionnaires, COR Reports and retrieval from Government databases, such as PPIRS/CPARS, which contain contractor performance evaluations. Past performance information should be for projects that are currently ongoing (construction at least 50% complete) or completed within the last ten (10) years of the issuance date of this solicitation.

If adverse past performance is obtained from the offeror’s client/customer point of contact (POC), the respective

POC may be contacted for further information on the circumstances surrounding the situation or issues. The offeror will be provided a reasonable opportunity to address any adverse information obtained.

In the case of offerors for which there is no information on past contract performance or where past contract performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past contract performance, per FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv). Therefore, the offeror’s past performance is unknown and assigned a performance confidence rating of “Neutral Confidence.”

C. PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS, CONTENT, AND FORMAT

1. The following must be included in the offeror’s proposal:

a) Signed SF 1442 Solicitation, Offer and Award, with Blocks 14-20c completed, including acknowledgement of any amendments issued
