1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WORK

The project is located at Eielson Air Force Base (EAFB) in Alaska, approximately 25 miles southeast of Fairbanks. EAFB is the home of the 354 Fighter Wing assigned to the Pacific Air Forces Eleventh Air Force. The US Air Force requires an adequately sized conventional munitions facility to support the beddown of two squadrons of F-35 Aircraft at EAFB. The facility supports the 354 MXS to perform maintenance operations on various munitions components and containers.

The existing building will not accommodate the new personnel arriving to support the two F-35 squadrons.

In addition, the existing building is experiencing structural issues due to thawing permafrost. This project will demolish existing Building 6385 (712 SM) to enable construction at the same site. The fire water storage tank will remain in place and the overhead crane will be salvaged for reinstallation in the new building. The facility will include a deep pile foundation system under the munition bays with a shallow concrete foundation in the administrative area, interior and exterior load-bearing masonry walls, and steel roof framing. The exterior includes EIFS with CMU veneer, standing seam metal roof over the administrative portion and a low slope membrane roof over the munitions bays. Special foundations are included for arctic conditions and thawing permafrost. The facility should be compatible with applicable DoD, Air Force, and base design standards. In addition, local materials and construction techniques shall be used where cost effective. The Contractor is to furnish all labor, equipment, supplies, materials, supervision and other items and services necessary to accomplish the work.

AM#02 The building site is located within a controlled area at Eielson AFB and will require a munitions attendent at all times. Contractor shall establish set work hours with Eielson Munitions not to exceed 12 hours per day and 6 days per week. Contractor trailers/yard will be located outside the controlled area (specific location identified in drawing sheets). The contractor will be allowed to set up a laydown/equipment yard and workday use trailer on the project site but will only have access to this during established work hours.

The AF will provide a maximum of 2 munitions security attendent for full-time use during construction.

However, if there are anticipated days of high construction traffic and the contractor needs more, contractor must give minimum 72-hour notice to AF. Only contractor/subcontractors' company vehicles and equipment will be allowed to drive to and from the laydown to the site. Contractors cannot stop when driving through the ECM areas. This will be policed by the munitions security escorts. However, they should yield to any Ops vehicles if Ops needs to pass through. AM#02

CONTRACT COST CEILING LIMITATION FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION COSTS

1.0 OVERVIEW

1.1 Interested firms (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 the construction of the F-35A Conventional Munitions Maintenance Facility at Eielson AFB, Alaska (EIE431). The Government will evaluate the 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 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 Official 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.

3.2 Submit proposals as identified in Section 00 21 00 para 1.14-PROPOSAL FORMAT.

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

5.1 Submission Requirements:

5.1.1 The prime contractor shall demonstrate experience on recent, relevant projects.

Relevant projects shall demonstrate experience with projects of similar magnitude and scope.

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 newly formed joint venture without 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 well underway (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 five (5) projects for Specialized Experience.

Offerors who submit experience information of a parent, sister or other affiliated company must describe what involvement such company will have on the instant acquisition. The offeror shall provide a one page narrative that clearly and specifically indicates what resources of the parent, sister or other affiliated company – its workforce, management, facilities, or other resources – will be provided or relied upon for contract performance. The Government may discount the experience of a parent, sister or other affiliated company unless the prime contractor clearly provides evidence of a binding teaming agreement or other contractual agreement which creates legal responsibility on the part of the parent, sister or other affiliated company or provides 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 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 identifies the projects and the firms that worked on each one (teaming).

5.1.3 Provide a supplemental narrative, not to exceed two (2) pages, to address any of the following that are applicable.

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

(b) Describe any previous teaming experience between current team members, if not described on the specialized experience forms. Identify specific projects.

5.2 Evaluation Criteria:

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

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) included in this contract. Recent experience includes projects well underway (at least 50% construction progress completed) or those completed and turned over within ten (10) 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 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 Corps of Engineers 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 Offeror shall demonstrate a history of recent, relevant experience. Experience under a previous business arrangement will not be considered relevant if the offeror’s role on the submitted project is not considered relevant.

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 may include, but not be limited to:

(a) Size, type and complexity of the work;

(b) Location of work 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 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 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 Specialized Experience (Tab A). The offeror may rely on finalized CPARS reports, otherwise the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror or its team members 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 (Attachment 4), 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, Christopher Taylor via email at Christopher.E.Taylor@usace.army.mil prior to the proposal closing date. Offerors shall not mailto:Christopher.E.Taylor@usace.army.mil 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% construction progress completed) or that have been completed and turned over within ten (10) years preceding the date of this solicitation. Also include performance recognition documents received within the last ten (10) 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.

Experience 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. 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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. 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 – 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 Identification of risks associated with the proposed technical approach, mitigation strategies, and contingencies to address the risk, detailed summary of the proposed mobilization/demobilization and field logistics of working in a secure area, and explanation of the proposed technical approach to deep pile construction and any work performed over winter 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 will, after contract award, be replaced with 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 which 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 AM#03 6 September 2019 15 October 2019 AM#03 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 following 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., sidewalks, landscaping, communications infrastructure, drainage swales, deep pile construction, work over winter months etc.) the construction team feels warrants special emphasis.

(2) Activity-Based Schedule:

(a) Show the overall construction phase for the facility to include demolition, for the site work, 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 flexibility 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, weather, 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 when the contractor demonstrates an understanding of the work that adequately addresses the contract requirements. The contractor simply stating that their technical approach stated herein will be performed in accordance with all federal, state, and local regulations will be considered unacceptable. The inclusion of numerous assumptions that significantly “assume away” contractor risk with regard to major issues or problems that may be encountered on the project will 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 will also consider whether the approach reduces susceptibility to inclement weather delays.

7.2.2. Contract Duration: The proposed contract duration will become the contractually binding completion period and will replace the duration stated in FAR 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 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.

7.2.3. Activity-Based Schedule: The Government will 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 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.

8.0 VOLUME 1 – TAB D - FACTOR 4: KEY SUBCONTRACTORS

8.1 Submission Requirements:

8.1.1 Identify the key subcontractors for chosen for this project. Submit no more than three (3) Specialized Experience forms (Attachment 3) for each Key Subcontractor AMD#1 (more than 10% of the offeror’s price or deemed a “key subcontractor” by the offeror) AMD#1 and include past performance ratings. The ratings may be from either the owner or the prime contractor if the firms were subcontractors on the cited projects. The Offeror shall document unequivocal teaming arrangements with its key subcontractors. Use the Letter of Commitment (Attachment 5) at the end of this section.

8.1.2 Evaluation Criteria:

8.1.2.1 This subfactor is comprised of two equal elements (not separately rated); Specialized Experience and Past Performance.

8.1.2.2 The Government will evaluate the specialized experience and past performance of the key subcontractors proposed for the project, in accordance with the evaluation criteria under Tab A and B, respectively and as applicable to their role on this project. No substitution will be allowed without adequate reason and possible consideration to the Government.

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

SHEET, AND CONTRACT LINE ITEM SCHEDULE

9.1 GENERAL

Submit the Pro Forma 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, and the proposed contract duration. 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 electronically identified as “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 a 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.
