Facilities include 10 mailto:Oksana.Strekha@usace.army.mil mailto:Erica.j.taylor@usace.army.mil mailto:TAA.CONTRACTING@USACE.ARMY.MIL mailto:erica.j.taylor@usace.army.mil mailto:oksana.strekha@usace.army.mil enlisted barracks, 3 Officer Barracks, 5 NCO Barracks, a DFAC (2,000 personnel/meal x 3 meals/day), Small Arms Storage, Weapons Storage, and 4 laundry facilities. Although this is a design/build contract, standard designs will be provided for all of these facilities. The contractor, as the Designer of Record, will be responsible for reviewing all designs and making necessary design changes in accordance with the specs and will ensure all code compliance.

Modular Detainee Housing Unit (MDHU) & Kitchen The Modular Detainee Housing Unit (MDHU) expansion will include the design and construction of 15 new MDHUs to match the existing design. The Contractor will also have to relocate the existing prison perimeter wall (T-walls) and construct a new perimeter wall around the newly constructed MDHU’s. In order to support these additional detainees a kitchen will need to be designed and constructed in the expansion area for the MDHUs. The kitchen will consist of approximately 80 propane stoves to support meals for 11,000 personnel for 3 meals per day (total of 33,000 meals per day). The kitchen shall include appropriate amount of chiller space, dry material storage and shelving and food storage area, food preparation area, food cooking area and food distribution area for 33,000 meals per day. The kitchen will require a triple layer fencing with privacy screens and concertina wire around the kitchen and secured propane storage to match existing and adhere with existing force protection standards at the prison and connect to the existing secured walkway.

Security fencing around this area shall include gates for food delivery access to the kitchen. The kitchen will also require a secured propane storage area and a 6M high interlocking Alaska Barrier security wall between the new kitchen area and the expansion MDHU recreation areas to avoid prisoners’ interaction with kitchen staff.

Any questions related to specific terms and conditions contained within the solicitation should be resolved with the Contracting Officer prior to proposal submission.

References in the Offeror’s proposal to, and examples of “classified” projects or contracts, should not be included in the Offeror’s proposal unless the information is authorized to be viewed or utilized by the Government for review and evaluation. Offerors who include information in their proposals that they do not want disclosed to the public or to anyone without a need-to-know, must clearly mark their proposals in accordance with the instructions at FAR 52.215-1, paragraph (e), Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Data.

An Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms, as discussions may not be conducted with the Offeror.

Electronic proposals submitted via email and AMRDEC are the required methods of proposal transmission and will be the only forms of submission accepted. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure its proposal is received by the Government by the date and time of the proposal deadline. Undeliverable emails due to an Offeror’s proposal size is not the responsibility of the Government.

PHASE I

All proposals will be evaluated by the Source Selection Team (SST). The overarching evaluation approach for Phase I is as follows:

a. Adequacy of Response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which each requirement has been addressed in the proposal in accordance with the proposal submission section of the solicitation.

FACTOR 1: SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE

Submission Requirements:

For Factor 1- Specialized Experience, Offerors shall submit two attachments, Attachment 1, Experience Overview Sheet and Attachment 2, Experience Information Sheet detailing previous work experience projects meeting the requirements of this solicitation. There are no page limitations for Factor 1, Specialized Experience. However, offerors are cautioned to only submit information relevant to Factor 1, Specialized Experience.

1. Information for completing Attachment 1 and Attachment 2:

a. Offerors shall complete an Experience Overview Sheet, Attachment 1, with a total listing not-to-exceed five (5) projects that best represent the Offeror’s work experience required on this solicitation. Projects must be performed within the last six (6) years of the solicitation issue date or from the date or at least 80% complete by the Phase I proposal submission due date of this solicitation, If more than five projects are submitted, only the first five projects will be evaluated.

b. Offerors shall provide an Experience Information Sheet, Attachment 2, for each project listed on Attachment 1, Experience Overview Sheet. The Experience Information sheets must be filled out completely.

3. If a Key Subcontractor’s experience is submitted for evaluation purposes, clearly address the experience with those Key Subcontractors. If a Joint Venture, clearly address the experience of each of the Joint Venture Partners and the relationship of the JV partners on any ongoing or previous projects. The proposal may receive a higher rating if the proposal contains evidence of the Joint Venture Entity or the Prime and Key subcontractor working successfully together on relevant previous projects.

Evaluation Criteria:

Specialized Experience will be rated as one factor; there are no sub-factors. The Government will evaluate the recency, depth, and the relevancy of the experience as submitted in the offeror’s proposal. Proposals will be evaluated to determine design-build experience of the Offeror for relevant contracts and/or projects of the similar scope and complexity of the project contained in the specifications. Offerors must demonstrate that the projects are same or similar to the project described in the solicitation. 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 three (3) projects could receive the highest rating available, to the extent that the projects submitted are fully relevant projects.

Projects submitted that do not have the qualities considered most relevant may be considered but the offeror may receive a lower rating for this factor.

1. RECENCY: Projects considered recent shall be completed within the last six (6) years from the date of the solicitation or at least 80% complete by the Phase I proposal submission due date for this solicitation.

2. RELEVANT: Projects demonstrate examples of design and construction of infrastructure and facilities similar to those to be performed under this solicitation. Relevant Projects are/were performed in Afghanistan and meet one or more of the following criteria:

a. Projects with a cost of $25,000,000 to $100,000,000.

b. Design-build construction of new buildings;

c. Design-Build Construction of Barracks

d. Design Build Construction of Dining Facilities

e. New Installation or replacement of major building systems such as electrical, mechanical, HVAC;

f. Design Build Construction of Sanitary Collection Systems; Water Distribution

Systems; and/or Electrical Distribution Systems

3. DEPTH: The Government will evaluate the offeror’s depth of experience in the following categories. Depth is demonstrated by providing a detailed explanation as to how the project meets the requirements of the category; and how the project demonstrates experience performing construction activities anticipated under this solicitation.

a. Design-build construction of new buildings;

b. Design-Build Construction of Barracks

c. Design Build Construction of Dining Facilities

d. New Installation or replacement of major building systems such as electrical, mechanical, HVAC;

e. Design Build Construction of Sanitary Collection Systems; Water Distribution

Systems; and/or Electrical Distribution Systems

FACTOR 1, STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES AND DEFICIENCIES:

Where experience includes the following, the proposal may be rated lower (the following list is not all encompassing, in no order of importance):

• Projects demonstrating experience working with USACE.

• Project examples that demonstrate experience working with proposed Key Subcontractors and/or the proposed JV Partners working together.

• Design-Build Construction of Barracks

• Design Build construction that included providing Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E)

Where Factor 1, Experience includes the following, the proposal may be given rated lower (the following list is not all encompassing):

• Offeror fails to submit projects demonstrating experience in Afghanistan.

• Offeror fails to submit projects within the cost threshold

• Offeror fails to submit projects within the relevant timeline (completed within the last six years of the solicitation issue date or at least 80% complete by the Phase I submission due date).

• Experience examples that are not verifiable.

• Projects which fail to explain the depth of experience for a category which it was submitted.

• Projects older than 6 years may be considered but will be considered less relevant.

The adjectival ratings for FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE are listed and defined below:

Technical Ratings

ADJECTIVE DEFINITION

OUTSTANDING Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

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

ACCEPTABLE Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and 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 adjectival ratings, defined below, are not separate ratings, but will be used to define the levels of risk in the aforementioned table.

Technical Risk Ratings Adjective Definition Low Has little potential to cause disruption of schedule, increase cost or degradation of performance. Normal contractor efforts and normal Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties.

Moderate Can potentially cause disruption of schedule, increase cost or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome difficulties.

High Is likely to cause significant disruption of schedule, increase cost or degradation of performance. Is unlikely to overcome any difficulties, even with special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring.

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), Attachment 3, included in the solicitation is provided for the Offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project the Offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 1, Experience. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed PPQs should 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 page of the PPQ (Attachment 3), 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. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, Ms. Oksana Strekha via email at Oksana.Strekha@usace.army.mil and erica.j.taylor@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date.

Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

Offerors may provide a completed Department of Defense, DD2626 form or a Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR), in lieu of Attachment 3. CPARS evaluations and DD2626s shall be signed by all designated authorities for consideration of evaluation.

Offerors may also include performance recognition documents received within the last six (6) years, such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, commercial and foreign government evaluations and any other forms of performance recognition.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, JV, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the Offeror's proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror.

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 and the government is under no obligation to check other sources.

EVALUATION CRITERIA:

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s past performance to determine how relevant project work is, as described in Factor 1 Experience, for recent projects. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s performance to determine a confidence assessment of the Offeror’s performance. With respect to relevancy, more relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future performance and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

Past Performance will be evaluated for projects completed in the last 6 years from the date of this solicitation or currently ongoing (at least 80% complete).

The Offeror's past performance will be evaluated based on performance on projects submitted under Factor 1 Experience, to include the past performance of any Subcontractors or JV partners whose projects the Offeror may have submitted. Proposals will be evaluated based on the information provided and any other Past Performance information obtained by the Government.

The Government reserves the right to verify statements the Offeror makes regarding its past performance to determine whether they are substantiated.

The Government will consider past performance information in evaluating overall risk associated with a particular Offeror. When evaluating these criteria, the following will be taken into mailto:erica.j.taylor@usace.army.mil consideration for evaluation purposes:

a. The relevance of the past performance;

b. how recently the project submitted was performed;

c. trends in the Offeror’s performance;

d. evaluations, letters of appreciation, and commendations from customers; and

e. positive and/or negative comments that impact evaluation of Offeror’s past performance.

Unavailability of Past Performance Information: IAW FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), in the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available; the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and will receive a neutral rating.

The adjectival ratings for FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE are listed and defined below:

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings:

Rating Definition Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
