Utilize the CONSTRUCTION – SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE FORM (Attachment 2) 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 new ly formed joint venture w ithout any previous experience as the joint venture, each joint venture partner shall provide information demonstrating experience relevant to their role on this project. Submit projects that are currently w ell underw ay (at least 50% construction progress completed) or completed and turned over no longer than ten (10) years preceding the date of this Solicitation. An offeror may receive credit for relevant experience under a previous business arrangement (joint venture for example); if the offeror demonstrates that their role on the project submitted for Specialized Experience is relevant to their anticipated role on this project. The prime contractor shall submit no more than f ive (5) projects for Specialized Experience.

Offerors w ho submit experience information of a parent, sister or other aff iliated company must describe w hat involvement such company w ill have on the instant acquisition. The offeror shall provide a one page narrative that clearly and specif ically indicates w hat resources of the parent, sister or other aff iliated company – its w orkforce, management, facilities, or other resources – w ill be provided or relied upon for contract performance.

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

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

5.1.2 Provide a one-page consolidated list of the Specialized Experience projects submitted for the prime contractor and key subcontractors (required to be submitted for Factor 4) to include a matrix that identif ies the projects and the f irms that w orked on each one (teaming).

(b) Describe any previous teaming experience betw een current team members, if not described on the specialized experience forms. Identify specif ic projects.

5.2 Evaluation Criteria:

5.2.1 The Government w ill evaluate the extent of recent, related experience of the prime contractor as relevant to their role on this project. Experience on the similar projects identif ied in the project experience sheets w ill 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 w ill not be rated inherently more important than non-Federal Government project experience.

5.2.2 The Offeror must submit the requested information to demonstrate a record of recent, related experience for construction of the facility type (w hich may include similar state or local government or private counterparts) included in this contract. Recent experience includes projects w ell underw ay (at least 50% construction progress completed) or those completed and turned over w ithin ten (10) years of the proposal issue date for this RFP for construction experience.

5.2.3 The Government reserves the right to verify the experience record of cited projects or other recent projects by review ing the Corps of Engineers Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), other DoD or Government appraisal systems or to interview ow ners 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 Offeror shall demonstrate a history of recent, relevant experience. Experience under a previous business arrangement w ill not be considered relevant if the offeror’s role on the submitted project is not considered relevant.

5.2.5 The Government w ill consider extent of recent experience, degree of relationship of such experience to this project, demonstrated familiarity w ith applicable codes and local conditions. Some examples of relevancy to this project may include, but not be limited to:

(a) Size, type and complexity of the w ork;

(b) Location of w ork and similarity to the climate of Climate Zone 8, as defined by ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 169 climate zone map for the United States;

(c) Firm's role and extent of w ork self-performed (brokering out all w ork and simply “pouring the sidew alks” 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 w ill be given.

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

6.1 Submission Requirements:

6.1.1 Past performance refers to the quality of recent project experience from the ow ner's perspective.

How ever, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

Projects cited shall be currently w ell underw ay (at least 50% construction progress completed) or that have been completed and turned over w ithin ten (10) years preceding the date of this solicitation. Also include performance recognition documents received w ithin the last ten (10) years such as aw ards, aw ard 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 ow ner representative(s), Federal Aw ardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other know n 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 w ith the Offeror.

Experience of a parent, sister or other aff iliated company w ill not be considered if the offeror fails to demonstrate w hat resources of the parent, sister or other aff iliated company w ill be provided or relied upon or fails to demonstrate the existence of a contractual or meaningful relationship w ith the parent, sister or other aff iliated 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 w ill f irst assess and rate the relevancy of recent projects accomplished by the offeror to the scope of this contract for application to the performance confidence assessment ratings described hereinafter.

The projects w ill include those submitted under the Specialized Experience Factor as w ell as from other sources described above. This rating is not a separate proposal rating but is only used in developing past performance confidence assessment rating assigned to the Past Performance Factor. The past performance relevancy ratings are described below :

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

b. Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and mailto:Christopher.E.Taylor@usace.army.mil complexities this solicitation requires.

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

d. 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 w ill next consider how w ell the offeror performed on the contracts. The Government w ill 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 w ith more relevance w ill 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 w ill not receive credit for past performance of a parent, sister or other aff iliated company if the offeror fails to demonstrate w hat resources of the parent, sister or other aff iliated company w ill be provided or relied upon or fails to demonstrate the existence of a contractual or meaningful relationship w ith the parent, sister or other aff iliated 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 project submitted is relevant to their role on this project.

The Government w ill 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, w arranty work, and safety. The Government places a higher value on projects, w hich 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 know ledge. The Government also places a higher value on projects, w hich provided particularly diff icult or unique challenges and the innovative methods the contractor used to resolve problems successfully. The rating for this factor w ill 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 (f irm) w ill be rated on its ow n performance. Past performance under a previous business arrangement w ill 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 identif ied by the offeror and cannot establish a past performance record for the offeror through other sources, past performance w ill be rated neither favorably nor unfavorably. The performance confidence assessment w ill be considered “Unknow n Confidence (Neutral)”.

7.0. VOLUME 1 - TAB C - FACTOR 3 – TECHNICAL APPROACH AND ACTIVITY-BASED SCHEDULE

7.1. Submission Requirements:

7.1.1. Technical Approach: The offeror shall propose a technical approach on the Statement of Work and under this Tab C, to include Identif ication of risks associated w ith the proposed technical approach, mitigation strategies, and contingencies to address the risk, detailed summary of the proposed mobilization/demobilization and f ield logistics of w orking in a secure area, and explanation of the proposed technical approach to deep pile construction and any w ork performed over w inter months (Oct-Mar).

7.1.2. Activity-Based Schedule: Submit an activity-based schedule for construction. Schedules or diagrams may be provided separately in a size that is easily read, and clearly labeled as Tab C. This activity-based schedule w ill, after contract aw ard, be replaced w ith a project schedule as required by Section 01 32 01.00 10: Project Schedule. The activity-based schedule shall be task oriented, indicating the number of calendar days, after notice to proceed, by w hich milestones are to be achieved defined at the appropriate detail level and logically sequenced to support and manage completion of the project. For schedule proposal purposes only, utilize a Notice to Proceed date of 6 September 2019 This date is solely to assist in evaluation of offeror’s 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 follow ing features but limit narrative information to no more than two (2) pages total:

(1) Narrative:

a) Provide proposed technical approach, mitigation strategies, and contingencies to address the risk including describing Quality Control.

b) List those features (i.e., sidew alks, landscaping, communications infrastructure, drainage sw ales, deep pile construction, w ork over w inter months etc.) the construction team feels w arrants special emphasis.

(2) Activity-Based Schedule:

(a) Show the overall construction phase for the facility to include demolition, for the site w ork, and for the utilities.

(b) Show commissioning activities.

(c) Show turnover of the facility. Identify any proposed phased turnovers. 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 f lexibility to plan and schedule the complete project to meet the proposed contract completion period. Clearly identify any constraints on the schedules presented (e.g., labor/subcontractor or material availability, permits, w eather, etc.).

Indicate the anticipated overall critical path on the schedule.

7.2. Evaluation Criteria:

7.2.1. Technical Approach: The evaluation standard has been met w hen the contractor demonstrates an understanding of the w ork that adequately addresses the contract requirements. The contractor simply stating that their technical approach stated herein w ill be performed in accordance w ith all federal, state, and local regulations w ill be considered unacceptable. The inclusion of numerous assumptions that signif icantly “assume aw ay” contractor risk w ith regard to major issues or problems that may be encountered on the project w ill be considered unacceptable. The government places a higher value on an offer that provides proposed methods to streamline construction and demonstrates a good understanding of cold climate and seismic design and construction considerations relevant to this project. The Government w ill also consider w hether the approach reduces susceptibility to inclement w eather delays.

7.2.2. Contract Duration: The proposed contract duration w ill become the contractually binding completion period and w ill replace the duration stated in FAR 52.211-10 upon contract aw ard. The Government w ill evaluate the contract duration, as proposed by the Offeror in the Proposal CLIN Schedule, not to exceed the maximum allow ed duration stated in FAR 52.211-10. In assessing the reasonableness of the proposed contract duration, the Government may take into account how w ell the proposed summary schedule supports the proposed duration, as w ell as use other information, such as but not limited to independent judgment concerning logic, constraints and typical construction durations. The Government w ill rate a proposed contract duration matching the maximum allow ed contract duration as “Acceptable.” A proposed contract duration shorter than the maximum allow ed duration w ill receive additional rating consideration, provided it is realistic and deemed to be achievable.

The Government w ill consider an unreasonably condensed contract duration, w hich places additional cost or schedule risk on the Government or w hich may create a risk of contract or performance failure, as a signif icant w eakness or a deficiency, depending upon the evaluators' judgment.

7.2.3. Activity-Based Schedule: The Government w ill evaluate the activity-based 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 any delays betw een 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 w ill evaluate the schedule to assess the strength of understanding of the project scope, restrictions w hich must be considered in the schedule, e.g., permitting, long lead items, etc. The Government w ill evaluate the offeror's capability to schedule the complete project w ithin 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, w ill receive additional consideration.

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 w ill not be rated or scored, but w ill be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness through the use of a price analysis. The price evaluators w ill 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 off ice overhead, bond, etc., to the appropriate contract line items.

Both parties shall presume that f ield 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 breakdow n information w ill be used to assist the Government in performing the price evaluations described above.
