1.0 OVERVIEW

1.1. Interested firms or joint venture entities (here after referred to as Offerors) shall submit proposals demonstrating their capability to successfully execute the construction contract resulting from this solicitation. The

Government will evaluate the proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein.

1.2 This is a “Best Value” solicitation for construction of a Truck Offload Facility, JBER, Alaska. The Government will evaluate proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein, and award a firm fixed price contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms with all the terms and conditions of the solicitation and whose proposal is determined to represent the overall best value to the Government utilizing the trade-off process described in FAR 15.101-1.

2.0 BASIS FOR AWARD

2.1 The Contracting Officer will award a firm fixed price contract to the responsible Offeror whose proposal the

Source Selection Authority has determined conforms to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government, considering all non-price factors described herein, and price. All evaluation factors, other than price, when combined are considered significantly more important than price; however the

Contract award may not exceed the funds available for this project. The intent of this solicitation is to obtain the best proposal within the cost magnitude. After the Government individually evaluates and rates each proposal, the

Contracting Officer/Source Selection Authority will compare proposals to determine which proposal represents the best value. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offerors.

The Government will not award a contract to an Offeror whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR

15.001. If there is a lower priced, conforming offer(s), the Contracting Officer/Source Selection Authority must determine that the added value of a more expensive proposal would justify award to that offeror.

3.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

3.1. Proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable terms from a price and technical standpoint. Do not assume offerors will be contacted or afforded an opportunity to clarify, discuss or revise their proposals.

3.2 Firms formally recognized as small business firms formally organized as construction contractors that have associated specifically for this project, consortia of firms or any other interested parties may submit proposals.

Associations may be as joint ventures or as key subcontractors.

3.3 Submit proposal in a tabbed, three-ring binder. Note that the Government will not evaluate any material that exceeds the page limits, indicated in the sections below.

5.0 VOLUME 1- TAB A - FACTOR 1: SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE

AM 01

5.1. Submission Requirements:

5.1.1. The prime contractor shall demonstrate experience on recent, relevant projects. The offeror must demonstrate experience similar to their role as prime contractor on this project. Utilize the COMPANY SPECIALIZED

EXPERIENCE FORM – PRIME CONTRACTOR (Attachment 2) (no more than 2 pages per project) at the end of the section. Offerors may identify state and local government and private contracts that are similar to the

Government’s requirements. If the offeror is a joint venture, each firm comprising the joint venture shall provide information demonstrating experience relevant to their role on this project. Submit projects that are currently well underway (at least 50% completed) or completed and turned over no longer than six (6) years preceding the date of this solicitation. A firm may receive credit for relevant experience under a previous business arrangement (joint venture for example); if the firm demonstrates that their role on the project submitted for Specialized Experience is relevant to their anticipated role on this project. Clearly identify the role and responsibilities of each joint venture partner. The prime contractor shall submit no more than five (5) projects for Specialized Experience.

5.1.2 Utilize the COMPANY SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE FORM – PRIME CONTRACTOR (Attachment 2) at the end of this section.

5.1.3 Provide a one-page consolidated list of the Specialized Experience projects to include a matrix that identifies the projects and the firms that worked on each one (teaming). Identify if the offeror was the prime on the contract or a subcontractor. Include the completion date and dollar amount executed on the project by the firm establishing the specialized experience.

5.1.4 Provide a supplemental narrative, not to exceed two (2) pages, to address any of the following that are applicable. The information shall be limited to projects that are well underway (at least 50% completed) or that have been completed and turned over no longer than six (6) years preceding the date of this solicitation.

a. Offerors who submit experience information of a parent, sister or other affiliated company shall describe what involvement such company will have on the instant acquisition and demonstrate a firm commitment that the affiliated firm will participate meaningfully in the performance of the contract. The narrative shall clearly and specifically indicate how the resources of the parent, sister, predecessor or other affiliated company – its workforce, management, facilities, or other resources – will be provided or relied upon for contract performance.

The Government may discount experience of a parent, sister, predecessor or other affiliated company unless the prime contractor clearly provides, in its proposal, evidence of a binding teaming agreement or other contractual agreement which creates legal responsibility on the part of the parent, sister, predecessor or other affiliated company. If there is no contractual arrangement between the prime contractor and the parent, sister, predecessor or other affiliated company, provide a Meaningful Relationship Commitment Letter including the following:

1. A statement of commitment as to the performance and utilization of the identified entity’s resources on this project.

2. Signatures of both the Offeror and Meaningful Relationship Entity.

AM 01

b. Describe any previous teaming experience between the prime contractor and subcontractors identified under Tab C A. Provide a matrix that identifies specific projects and teaming.

AM 01

c. If submitting projects performed under a prior business arrangement (joint venture, for example) for

Factor 1, Specialized Experience, address why that experience is relevant to the experience of the firm submitting the offer. Clearly identify the role and responsibilities of each joint venture partner.

5.2. Evaluation Criteria:

5.2.1. The Government will evaluate the extent of recent, relevant experience of the prime contractor as relevant to their role proposed on this project. Experience on the similar projects identified on the project experience sheets

(Attachment 2) will receive more consideration than experience provided in the supplemental narrative. The

Government may place greater importance on projects performed as a prime contractor than as a subcontractor, depending upon overall role and relevancy considerations. Federal Government project experience will not be rated inherently more important than non-Federal Government project experience. In assessing relevancy of Specialized

Experience, the relevancy ratings included at the end of this section will be utilized.

5.2.2. The Offeror must submit the requested information to demonstrate a record of recent, related experience for construction of the facility type, which may include similar state or local government or private counterparts.

Recent experience includes projects well underway (at least 50% completed) or those completed and turned over within six (6) years of the proposal issue date for this RFP for construction experience. Joint Venture partners shall each demonstrate experience commensurate with their role on this project or explain in the supplemental narrative how their experience qualifies them for their proposed role on this project.

5.2.3. The Government reserves the right to verify the experience record of cited projects or other recent projects by reviewing the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), other DoD or Government appraisal systems, or to interview owners or references. The Government may check any or all cited references to verify supplied information.

5.2.4. To receive credit for extent (amount) of experience, the prime contractor shall demonstrate a history of recent, relevant experience. Experience of a parent, sister, predecessor or other affiliated company will not be considered if the offeror fails to demonstrate what resources of the parent, sister, predecessor 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, predecessor or other affiliated company. Experience under a previous business arrangement will not be considered relevant if the firm’s role on the submitted project is not considered relevant to their anticipated role on this project.

5.2.5. The Government will consider extent of recent experience, degree of relationship of such experience to this project, demonstrated familiarity with applicable codes and local conditions. Some examples of relevancy to this project include:

(a) Similar size, type work and complexity of work.

(b) Location of work and similarity to the climate of Climate Zone 7 or 8, as defined by ANSI/ASHRAE

Standard 169 climate zone map for the United States;

(c) Dates (well under way or completed no more than six (6) years preceding date of Solicitation); and;

(d) Firm's role and extent of work self-performed (brokering out all work and simply “pouring the sidewalks” on a cited project are examples of less relevant experience).

5.2.6 The Government may consider previous recent teaming experience among the team members as value added, even if on different types of construction projects than this project. The more relevant the experience, the more credit will be given.

6.0 VOLUME 1, TAB B - FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE (CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT)

6.1. Submission Requirements:

6.1.1. Past performance of the prime contractor will be evaluated under this Factor. Past performance refers to the quality of recent project experience from the owner's perspective. Past performance evaluations or questionnaires shall be provided for all projects submitted under Tab A for the prime contractor. For Federal projects submitted under Specialized Experience (Tab A), the offeror may rely on finalized CPARS reports, otherwise the Past

Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) included as Attachment 4 to this section is provided for the offeror to submit to the client for each project. Previously completed PPQ’s may be submitted however ensure a current phone number and email address is provided for the client point of contact. Completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted with your proposal and may be duplicated for submission on future solicitations. 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 2 pages of the PPQ (after the definitions), 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, Julie McLaughlin via email at julie.c.mclaughlin@usace.army.mil prior to the 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.

Projects cited shall be currently well underway (at least 50% completed) or completed and turned over no longer than six (6) years preceding the date of this solicitation. Also include performance recognition documents received within the last six (6) years such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, 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 be include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment

Reporting Systems (CPARS), 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.

An offeror will not receive credit for past performance of a parent, sister, predecessor or other affiliated company if the offeror fails to demonstrate what resources of the parent, sister, predecessor 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, predecessor 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 consider 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 the Specialized Experience Factor as well as from other sources described above. Relevancy ratings will be used in developing an overall past performance confidence assessment rating assigned to the Past Performance Factor. The past performance relevancy ratings are included at the end of this section.

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. 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 project submitted is relevant to their role on this project. 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 construction errors; warranty work and safety. The Government places a higher value on projects, which document successful outcomes and are supported by outside source confirmation, for example, but not limited to

CPARS or other agency performance databases, offeror furnished references, or personal knowledge. The

Government also 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 at the end of this section.

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 VOLUME 1 - TAB C - FACTOR 3 – KEY PERSONNEL

7.1 Submission Requirements:

7.1.1 Provide a consolidated list of key personnel with name, position, title and description of project responsibility for each. Indicate whether each individual has had a significant role in any of the cited project examples. If re-assignment of personnel is considered possible, provide alternate professionals in each assignment.

For each of the key personnel provide a brief resume using the KEY PERSONNEL RESUME form provided as

Attachment 3 at the end of this section. Include the prime contractor’s project manager, superintendent, Quality

Control Manager and Safety Manager.

7.2 Evaluation Criteria:

7.2.1 The Government will evaluate the required information to determine how well the offeror identifies and demonstrates that its key personnel meet or exceed the minimum qualifications shown in SECTION 01 45 04.00 29, which includes previous satisfactory experience in similar type of work to manage, control and perform the construction. Performance of key personnel proposed for this project may be taken into account when it comes to the attention of the Government. The Government will evaluate how well the offeror demonstrates that it has the necessary structure and experienced, qualified personnel within its organization to effectively manage, control, administer and execute the construction operations, quality control program and subcontracts. Personnel listed which are not currently working for the offeror or require training to meet the minimum qualifications in SECTION

01 45 04.00 29 may be rated lower.

8.0 VOLUME 1 - TAB D - FACTOR 4 – PROPOSED CONTRACT DURATION AND SUMMARY

SCHEDULE

8.1. Submission Requirements:

8.1.1. Proposed Contract Duration. The offeror shall propose a contract duration on the Proposal Contract Line

Item Number (CLIN) Schedule, not to exceed the maximum contract duration specified in the RFP.

8.1.2 Summary Schedule. Submit a summary-level schedule for construction. Schedules or diagrams may be provided separately in a size that is easily read, but shall be bound and clearly labeled as Tab D. This summary schedule will, after contract award, be replaced with a project schedule as required by Section 01 32 01.00 10:

Project Schedule. The summary schedule shall be task oriented, indicating the number of calendar days after notice to proceed (NTP), by which the milestones are to be achieved. For schedule proposal purposes only, utilize a NTP date of

03 April 2017. This date is solely to assist in evaluation of offerors’ proposals and shall not be construed as a contractual NTP date. Schedules shall be graphically represented. The proposed project schedule shall reflect the proposed contract duration. Give attention to the following features, but limit narrative information to no more than two (2) pages total:

(1) Narrative:

(a) Provide the proposed contract duration.

(b) Describe any features of work that are weather dependent, long lead items or have other significant constraints. Describe how those risks will be mitigated during planning and construction.

(2) Summary Schedule:

(a) Show the overall construction phase for the facility and for the site work. Show at a minimum the major phases of work such as excavation, foundation, superstructure, roof, walls, flooring, HVAC, electrical, etc.

(b) Show commissioning activities.

(c) Show turnover of the facility. The time to complete the facility and turnover to the Government must consider the requirement for the Contractor’s CQC completion inspection and the subsequent joint Contractor-

Government turnover inspections.

(d) Constraints. Offeror must demonstrate the capability and flexibility to plan and schedule the complete project to meet the proposed contract completion period. Clearly identify any constraints on the schedule presented (e.g., labor or material availability, permits, weather, etc.).

(e) Indicate the anticipated overall critical path on the schedule.

8.2 Evaluation Criteria:

8.2.1 Proposed Contract Duration. This duration will become the contractually binding completion period and will replace the duration stated in FAR clause 52.211-10 upon contract award. The Government will evaluate the contract duration, as proposed by the offeror in the Proposal CLIN Schedule, not to exceed the maximum allowed duration stated in FAR clause 52.211-10. In assessing the reasonableness of the proposed contract duration, the

Government may take into account how well the proposed summary schedule supports the proposed duration, as well as use other information, such as but not limited to independent judgment concerning logic, constraints and typical construction durations. The Government will rate a proposed contract duration matching the maximum allowed contract duration as “Acceptable.” A proposed contract duration shorter than the maximum allowed duration will receive additional rating consideration, provided it is realistic and deemed to be achievable. The

Government will consider an unreasonably condensed contract duration, which places additional cost or schedule risk on the Government or which may create a risk of contract or performance failure, as a significant weakness or a deficiency, depending upon the evaluators’ judgment.

8.2.2 Summary Schedule. The Government will evaluate the summary schedule for construction of the project.

The length of the schedule must match the proposed contract duration. If it is shorter than the offeror’s proposed contract duration, it offers no advantage to the Government because it is non-binding, only representing a preliminary planned schedule. A schedule shorter than the proposed contract duration may indicate the offeror is placing additional risk on the Government for delays between the scheduled completion date and the required contract completion period. Therefore, the Government believes that there is no valid need to shorten the schedule less than the full proposed contract duration. The Government will evaluate the schedule to assess the strength of understanding of the project scope, restrictions which must be considered in the schedule, e.g., permitting, long lead items, etc. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s capability to schedule the complete project within the proposed contract duration and the realism of the schedule. A schedule that offers advantage(s) to the Government over one that merely indicates an adequate understanding of the scope, restrictions, major milestones and general understanding of the various events that can affect start and completion of construction, will receive additional consideration.

9.0 VOLUME 2 – TAB A – FACTOR 5: STANDARD FORM 1442, PROPOSAL DATA SHEET, AND

CONTRACT LINE ITEM SCHEDULE

9.1. GENERAL

Submit all Volume 2 information in a separate binder labeled: “Volume 2 - Pro Forma Requirements.”

9.2. Submission Requirements:

9.2.1. Submit the properly filled out and executed SF 1442, along with the CLIN Schedule, containing proposed line item and total pricing. See instructions in Section 00 21 00, “Instructions to Offerors.” Submit the Proposal

Data Sheet (Attachment 1).

9.2.2. Supplemental Price Breakdown. If deemed necessary to evaluate the price proposals, the Government will request a price breakdown of the Contract Line items in a sealed envelope marked “Price Breakdown Information,” in Excel format. The Government will provide details on where and how to send the breakdown. This information will not be needed sooner than three (3) working days after the proposal submission due date. This information may be required for the initial proposal and, if requested, for any revised proposals. This information is not an opportunity for an offeror to revise its non-price or price proposal.

9.3 Evaluation Criteria:

9.3.1 Price will not be rated or scored, but will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness through the use of price analysis. The price evaluators will also check for appearance of unbalanced line item prices. Offerors are cautioned to distribute direct costs, such as material, labor, equipment, subcontracts, etc., and to evenly distribute indirect costs, such as job overhead, home office overhead, bond, etc., to the appropriate contract line items. Both parties shall presume that field overhead costs through the proposed contract duration are inclusive in the offered price for the contract.

9.3.2 If deemed necessary, the supplemental price breakdown information will be used to assist the Government in performing the price evaluations described above.

10.1.2. Evaluation Criteria:

In addition to the other proposal information, the Contracting Officer shall use this information in making an affirmative responsibility determination for award to the Successful Offeror, in accordance with FAR Part 9.

11.0 EVALUATION PROCEDURES

11.1 SOURCE SELECTION EVALUATION BOARD (SSEB)

An SSEB will be established to conduct the evaluation of proposals received in response to this solicitation. The evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal and any subsequent discussions required, as well as information obtained from other sources, e.g. past performance information. The SSEB will not consider any information incorporated by reference, except as expressly allowed by this solicitation.

11.2. EVALUATION

11.2.1. The SSEB will evaluate the proposals and assign a consensus rating for each evaluation factor except that performance confidence ratings are assigned to past performance (see below).

11.2.2. The Government intends to award without discussions. Offerors are cautioned to put forth their best efforts, and to furnish all information clearly to allow the Government to evaluate proposals. Offerors should not assume that they will have an opportunity to clarify or correct anything in their proposal after submitting it.

11.2.3. A “Competitive Range” is a subjective determination of the most highly rated proposals in the event that the

Government decides that discussions with offerors are required or are considered to be in the Government’s best interests. In such an event, the Contracting Officer will establish a competitive range of all the most highly rated proposals.

11.2.4. If discussions are held, the Government may engage in a broad give and take with those offerors in the competitive range, in accordance with FAR 15.306(d). During discussions, the Government may ask the Offeror to further explain its proposal and to answer questions about it.

11.2.5. Upon conclusion of discussions, those offerors still considered the most highly rated, will be afforded an opportunity to submit their proposal revisions for final evaluation and selection.

11.3. DEFINITIONS

Deficiency: 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.

Weakness: A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Significant Weakness: A flaw in the proposal that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Strength: Any aspect of a proposal that, when judged against a stated evaluation criterion, enhances the merit of the proposal or increases the probability of successful performance of the contract.

Significant Strength: A significant strength appreciably enhances the merit of a proposal or appreciably enhances the probability of successful contract performance.

Uncertainty: Any aspect of a non-cost/price factor proposal for which the intent of the offeror is unclear (e.g., more than one way to interpret the offer or inconsistencies in the proposal indicating that there may have been an error, omission or mistake).

Deviation: Proposal implies or specifically offers a deviation below the specified criteria. The offeror may or may not have called the deviation to the Government’s attention. A deviation is a deficiency. The proposal must conform to the solicitation requirements for award.

11.4 EVALUATION RATING SYSTEM

11.4.1 General: The Government will review the proposals and rate the quality of each evaluation factor. The

SSEB will rate each proposal against the specified evaluation criteria in the Solicitation requirements. They will not compare proposals at this time. After all proposals are rated, the Government will compare the ratings and relative advantages and disadvantages of proposals against each other in order to determine which offeror provides the best value to the Government.

11.4.2 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.

11.4.3 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 (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:

Outstanding: Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and…
