6.0 TAB C – FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE

6.1. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

6.1.1 For all contracts identified in Factor 1, a Past Performance Questionnaire must be completed and submitted. The Offeror shall complete Part I of the Past Performance Questionnaire and e-mail the questionnaire to both the Government contracting activity and technical representative responsible for the past/current contract. The POCs shall be instructed to electronically complete Part II of the questionnaire and e-mail the entire questionnaire to the Contracting Office no later than the proposal due date, to Tim Clapp via email at Timothy.L.Clapp@usace.army.mil and Susan Salaj at susan.salaj2@usace.army.mil. The Offeror shall e-mail to the Contracting Officer a list of all the POC’s who were sent a questionnaire. The Government must receive this list no later than the proposal due date. The POC List shall be submitted in Word for Windows Table Format to include the following fields: Solicitation Number; Company Name; Contract Number;

Government Agency; POC Last Name, First Name; POC Title; POC Telephone Number; POC E-mail Address; and Date E-Mail to POC (month/day).

6.1.2 Projects cited shall be currently well underway (fully designed and at least 50% construction progress completed) or completed and turned over within five (5) years preceding the date of this solicitation. The Government may contact and interview the points of contact and reserves the right to review data from Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting Systems (CPARS) or other agency performance databases on projects determined to be recent and relevant as defined above. Team members are encouraged to briefly provide information on problems encountered on identified or other contracts and the corrective action taken.

6.1.3 In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may be include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including 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.

6.1.4 An Offeror will not receive credit for past performance of a parent, sister or other affiliated company if the Offeror fails to demonstrate what resources of the parent, sister or other affiliated company will be provided or relied upon or fails to demonstrate the existence of a contractual or meaningful relationship with the parent, sister or other affiliated company. An Offeror may receive credit for relevant past performance under a previous business arrangement (joint venture for example) if the Offeror demonstrates that their role on the submitted project is relevant to their role on this project

6.2. EVALUATION CRITERIA:

6.2.1. The Government will first assess and rate the relevancy of recent projects accomplished by the Offeror to the scope of this contract for overall application to the performance confidence assessment ratings described hereinafter. The projects will include those submitted under Factor

1. This rating is not a separate proposal rating but is only used in developing overall past performance confidence assessment rating assigned to the Past Performance Factor. The past performance relevancy ratings are described below:

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.

6.2.2. The Government will next consider how well the Offeror performed on the contracts. The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor performance. With respect to relevancy, past performance on projects with more relevance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment rating than past performance on projects of lesser relevance. Owners/references may be asked to comment on items such as quality of design or construction, timeliness, management of the work subcontractor management, including timely payment to subs or suppliers, safety, relations between owner and designer or contractor, level of support for such things as as-built documentation, O&M manuals, training, correcting design or construction errors, warranty work, etc. (see the PPQ form at Attachment 4). The Government will target areas covered in the requirements of this proposal including records of conforming to quality, schedule, cost control, customer satisfaction, level of support for such things as as-built documentation, O&M manuals, training, problem resolution for design or construction errors, warranty work, and safety. The Government places a higher value on projects, which provided particularly difficult or unique challenges and the innovative methods the contractor used to resolve problems successfully. The rating for this factor will be expressed as a degree of confidence in the Offeror’s ability to successfully accomplish the contract requirements. The rating system used for the performance confidence assessment is described below.

Performance Confidence Assessment:

Each Offeror will be assigned one of the following ratings:

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.

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.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral): 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.

6.2.3. Each entity (firm) will be rated on its own performance or that of its predecessor, if relevant. Past performance of a parent, sister or other affiliated company will not be considered if the Offeror fails to demonstrate what resources of the parent, sister, or other affiliated company will be provided or relied upon or fails to demonstrate the existence of a contractual or meaningful relationship with the parent, sister or other affiliated company. Past performance under a previous business arrangement will not be considered relevant if the Offeror’s role on the project is not considered relevant. If the Government does not obtain past performance information for the projects identified by the Offeror and cannot establish a past performance record for the Offeror through other sources, past performance will be rated neither favorably nor unfavorably. The performance confidence assessment will be considered “Unknown Confidence (Neutral)”.

7.0 TAB D – FACTOR 3 - ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT

7.1. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

7.1.1. Provide a narrative and organizational chart that describes the Offeror’s organization and the items below. Limit the narrative to five (5) pages or less and the organizational chart to one 11” x 17” page.

7.1.2. Organization: Describe what firms will be utilized, their roles and responsibilities and any contractual arrangements that have been established. Clearly describe any teaming or joint venture arrangements, including a clear description of each firm’s roles and responsibilities on the project. The Offeror shall document unequivocal teaming arrangements with its design firms(s) (see Attachment 5). Include a simple organizational chart, illustrating the organization, including the name, position title and job location of key personnel. Identify the design firm(s) chosen for the project, if not to be self-performed. Describe the proposed management structure for the team, describing how the design and construction process will be managed and the authorities and the delegations of authority within the team. Resumes of individual team members are not required.

7.1.4. Team Approach. Describe how the Contractor is able to develop relationships to work cooperatively with Liquid Fuel Management personnel, BOS contractor personnel, and adequately coordinate site arrival notices, base access, work schedules and system closures at military installations. Contactor has demonstrated a team approach to work and is able to coordinate with site personnel and other contractors in order to complete task orders with little conflict. Contractor is willing to provide construction expertise and problem solve when presented with differing conditions in the field or a technical problem.

7.1.5. Technical Approach for Construction. The Government places a higher value on an offer that provides proposed methods to streamline construction, manage labor and other resource constraints in an effort to reduce costs and support an aggressive schedule, including such things as fast-tracking. The Government will also consider whether the approach reduces on-site craft labor and susceptibility to inclement weather delays.

7.1.6. Planning and Scheduling. Describe how the contractor integrates planning and scheduling across their entire team including subcontractors. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s scheduling capabilities to manage a construction schedule. Contractor must demonstrate a willingness to work with tight deadlines so that when tank or fuel system repairs are required the out of service time for tanks or fuel systems is minimized. Contractor must demonstrate the ability to schedule critical interior tank work and complete it quickly and then complete non-critical exterior work once the tanks are put back online.

7.1.7. Quality Control. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s capabilities and understanding of the contractually required quality control processes for construction. The Government will evaluate the adequacy of the staffing plan to cover all required tasks and responsibilities.

7.1.8. Site Safety. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s capability and understanding of the contractually required safety control processes for construction.

7.2. EVALUATION CRITERIA:

7.2.1. Government will evaluate the responsibilities and lines of authority between the construction firm, design firm, and key subcontractors. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s approach to design coordination and review and the Offeror’s approach to support during design, construction and after project turnover. The Offeror is required to select and commit to design firms to achieve an “acceptable” rating. Joint venture participant’s contribution to the organization should be commensurate with their skills and background.

7.2.2. Self-Performed Work: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s resources to determine if it has the capability to self-perform the required 15% of the project at minimum, in accordance with public policy to assure adequate interest in and supervision of all work.

8.0. PHASE 1 OVERALL RATING

8.1. In addition to individual factor ratings, the Government will assign an overall rating for the Phase 1 proposal.

9.0. PHASE 1 EVALUATION PROCEDURES

9.1. SOURCE SELECTION EVALUATION BOARD (SSEB)

9.1.1. The SSEB evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal, proposal corrections and any information obtained from other sources, e.g. past performance information. The SSEB will not consider any proposal information incorporated by reference, except as expressly allowed by this solicitation.

9.2. EVALUATION

9.2.1. The SSEB will evaluate the proposals and assign a consensus rating for each evaluation factor and sub-factor. Offerors are cautioned to put forth their best efforts for the Phase 1 submission, and to furnish all information clearly to allow the Government to determine their performance capability. Offerors should not assume that they will have an opportunity to clarify or correct anything in their proposal after submitting it in response to Phase 1.

9.2.2. The Government reserves the right to allow proposal corrections, if deemed necessary to determine the most highly qualified Offerors to shortlist for Phase 2.

9.2.3. The Contracting Officer, taking into account the SSEB consensus ratings, will select up to 3 (three) of the most highly qualified Offerors to Phase 2.

9.3. DEFINITIONS

9.3.1. Significant Strength is an aspect of an Offeror’s proposal that has appreciable merit or appreciably exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be appreciably advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

9.3.2. Strength is an aspect of an Offeror’s proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

9.3.3. Weakness means a flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance (see FAR 15.001).

9.3.4. Significant Weakness in a proposal is a flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance (see FAR 15.001).

9.3.5. Deficiency is a material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level (see FAR 15.001).

9.4. EVALUATION AND RATING SYSTEM

9.4.1. General: The Government will review the proposals and rate the quality of each evaluation factor and subfactor (if any). The SSEB will rate each proposal against the specified evaluation criteria in the Solicitation requirements and will compare proposals. After all proposals are rated by the SSEB, the Contracting Officer will compare the ratings and relative advantages and disadvantages of proposals against each other in order to determine which Offerors are the most highly qualified under Phase 1 to a participation in Phase 2.

9.4.2. Review Write-Up: The Government will support each rating with a narrative, separately listing all strengths or advantages, weaknesses or disadvantages, deficiencies, and required clarifications.

9.4.3. Rating System: After listing proposal strengths, weaknesses and deficiencies, the SSEB will assign an adjective rating of “Outstanding”, “Good”, “Acceptable”, “Marginal”, or “Unacceptable” to each factor and subfactor (except the Past Performance Factor), which reflect the Government's confidence in each Offeror's ability, as demonstrated in its proposal, to perform the requirements stated in the RFP. The adjectival ratings shall be assigned, using the following criteria, which incorporate a proposal risk assessment:

9.4.3.1. Outstanding: Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

9.4.3.2. Good: Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses.

Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

9.4.3.3. Acceptable: Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

9.4.3.4. Marginal: Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

9.4.3.5. Unacceptable. Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is unawardable.
