The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTION TO OFFERORS

Instructions, Conditions & Notices to Offerors

1. GENERAL PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:

These instructions prescribe the format of proposals and describes the approach for the development and presentation of the proposal data. They are designed to ensure the submission of all information necessary for the understanding and comprehensive evaluation of proposals. Carefully review this section prior to commencing proposal preparation. In order for proposals to receive full consideration for award, Offerors shall ensure that the information furnished in support of the proposal is factual, accurate, and complete.

1.1. Offerors are cautioned to strictly comply with all instructions within this solicitation to ensure submission of a complete proposal. Failure to furnish a complete proposal at the time of proposal submission may result in the proposal being unacceptable to the Government and elimination from consideration for award. All solicitation amendments must be acknowledged in accordance with FAR Clause 52.215-1 and Instructions to Offerors.

2. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION AND THE TRADE-OFF PROCESS:

2.1. This process permits tradeoffs among price and non-cost factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal. Offerors shall submit their performance and capability information for review and consideration by the Government.

2.2. This requirement is being pursued as a negotiated acquisition using the tradeoff process to determine best value. In accordance with FAR Clause 52.215-1(f)(4), the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award contracts without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR Subpart 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. Source Selection will be made on the basis of Best Value. The Government reserves the right to award to an Offeror whose proposal is neither the lowest price nor most highly rated, but which is determined to provide the best overall value to the Government. The Government reserves the right to make no award.

2.3. In order to effectively and equitably evaluate proposals, the Contracting Officer must receive information containing sufficient detail to allow review and evaluation by the Government. Proposal clarity, organization, and cross-referencing are mandatory. Failure to submit an organized proposal may adversely affect an Offeror’s evaluation. Offerors should provide sufficient detail and clearly define all items required in this section. The Contracting Officer may remove any Offeror from further consideration during any phase of the procurement if the Offeror fails to meet the submittal requirements of the Request for Proposal (RFP).

2.4. The Government will analyze price proposals of Offerors utilizing the prototypical task order project.

3. PROTOTYPICAL TASK ORDER PROJECT:

The scope of work for a prototypical task order project is provided at Attachment 01 to this solicitation.

8. PROPOSAL EVALUATION AND BASIS FOR AWARD

8.1. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR Subpart 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offeror's initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. In accordance with FAR Subpart 15.306(a)(2), if award will be made without conducting discussions, Offerors shall be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of their proposals, e.g., the relevance of an Offeror's Past Performance information and adverse Past Performance information to which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond, or to resolve minor clerical errors.

8.2. To arrive at a Best Value decision, the Contracting Officer will integrate the evaluation of Technical, Past Performance, and Price, with Technical being more important than Past Performance. Technical and Past Performance, when combined, are significantly more important than Price. The subfactors under Technical are of equal importance and will roll into an overall technical rating. The Government will evaluate and rate an Offeror’s Technical proposal using a rating that combines technical merit and proposal risk. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the evaluation process, by its nature, is subjective and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire evaluation process.

TECHNICAL>PAST PERFORMANCE

8.3. The source selection process will be conducted in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.3, Source Selection.

Proposals will be evaluated using the criteria listed in Evaluation Factors and Basis for Award.

8.4. The Contracting Officer will conduct a proposal compliance review after RFP closing for determination of basic proposal responsiveness prior to providing the proposals to the evaluation board. Failure to provide a complete proposal consisting of all Attachments required in the 3 volumes and the Prototypical Project Pricing Sheet(s) and self-performance form(s) may result in the proposal being removed from further consideration for award.

8.5. In order to effectively and equitably evaluate proposals, the Contracting Officer must receive information containing sufficient detail to allow review and evaluation by the Government. Proposal clarity, organization, and cross-referencing are mandatory. Failure to submit an organized proposal may adversely affect an Offeror’s evaluation. Offerors should provide sufficient detail and clearly define all items required in this section. The Contracting Officer may remove any Offeror from further consideration during any phase of the procurement if the Offeror fails to meet the submittal requirements of the RFP. Noncompliance with the RFP requirements raise serious questions regarding an Offeror’s understanding technical requirements and/or cost and are grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award. Failure to include all information requested may adversely affect the evaluation. A proposal that merely reiterates or promises to accomplish the requirements of the RFP will be considered unacceptable. A proposal that is not presented in an orderly format may be considered noncompliant with solicitation instructions will not be evaluated and will be removed from consideration for award. A proposal that is orderly and sufficiently documented will be easy for the Government to understand and will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation.

8.6. The Government will evaluate and rate an Offeror’s Past Performance using descriptive adjectives that most accurately define the evaluator’s confidence of Offeror’s performance risk considering each Subfactor.

8.7. To receive consideration for award, overall evaluations of not less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for Factor 1 - Technical (Volume I) and not less than “Satisfactory Confidence” for Factor 2 - Past Performance (Volume II). An evaluation rating of “Unacceptable” at the Subfactor level will cause the entire Proposal Volume/Factor and the entire Proposal to be evaluated as “Unacceptable”.

8.8. The Government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals at any time prior to award if such action is in the Government's best interest or considered nonresponsive; negotiate with any or all Offerors after the competitive range is determined; award a contract to other than the Offeror submitting the lowest price(s) or highest technically rated; and award contracts to Offerors submitting a proposal determined by the Government to be the most advantageous to the Government.

8.9. All Joint Ventures are advised to avoid a potential conflict of interest. Joint Venture partners WILL NOT be eligible for individual MATOC awards in addition to an award to the Joint Venture entity.

9. FACTOR 1 - TECHNICAL PROPOSAL EVALUATION – Volume I

The evaluation of each Technical Proposal will evaluate and measure the ability of the Offeror to effectively manage and perform multi-discipline construction projects, as described in the Offeror's proposal. The Government will determine, based on the information provided, if the Offeror has demonstrated the ability to perform complete project management and execution of all of the work for construction projects at the dollar levels indicated in the Areas of Consideration.

9.1. Subfactor 1 - Management Effectiveness: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s management effectiveness by considering the Offerors understanding and capability of successfully managing the project to completion. The following elements will be evaluated.

9.1.1. Personnel Qualifications. The Government will review the key personnel provided by the Offeror to evaluate and rate the recent experience of the key personnel in similar projects. Resumes will be evaluated for qualifications and relevant technical experience to this project. The key personnel example projects should closely resemble the project identified in this solicitation.

9.1.2. Home Office Management and Support. The Government will evaluate the clarity, adequacy, capabilities and strengths of the Offeror’s organization, systems and plans for responding to task order requirements, estimating, submitting and negotiating proposals, for completing construction (new construction, alterations, or repairs), for managing subcontractors, capability and commitment to self-perform of the required percentage of work, and the capacity to successfully accomplish the task orders along with other ongoing work, and multiple task orders, all in a timely manner.

9.1.3. Small Business Utilization. The Government will evaluate narratives provided for in this area that are thoroughly supported. Greater detail and specificity in the following areas will be more highly rated than general statements and commitments.

9.1.3.1 The extent to which the goals for subcontracting with small businesses are realistic, justifiable, positive, and in accordance with the Government’s policy to maximize opportunities for these types of businesses.

9.1.3.2 Offeror's past commitment to providing subcontracting opportunities and encouragement to small and small disadvantaged businesses.

9.2. Subfactor 2 – Corporate Relevant Specialized Experience

The Government will review the projects provided by the Offeror to evaluate and rate recent, relevant, and specialized experience of the Offeror with similar projects. If the Offeror cannot provide suitable relevant experience and the evaluators consider that the information provided indicates that the Offeror has no relevant experience, a determination will be made as to the risk this lack of construction experience presents to the Government and the proposal will be evaluated accordingly.

9.3. Subfactor 3 – Quality Control

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s ability to address and resolve quality control issues, procedures for contract closeout, monitor subcontractor's quality, and responses as they pertain to quality control to determine compliance with the requirement.

9.4. Subfactor 4 – Design Support (Only Offerors who submitted to be considered for Design Build)

9.4.1. The Design Support will be evaluated on the Offeror’s ability to support the design requirements for task orders issued under this contract based on their qualifications and experience. The Government intends to use the SF 330 information provided. The fact that an Offeror does not qualify for an award with the Design Support option will not preclude a MATOC award without Design Support.

9.4.2. Personnel Qualifications - Resumes will be evaluated for qualifications and relevant technical experience to support the design requirements of this requirement.

9.4.3. Example Projects – Projects will be evaluated and rated for relevancy compared to the variety of work that may be performed under this contract.

9.4.4. CAD Capabilities – The Government will review the designer’s CAD capabilities, experience, and compatibility with AutoCAD Release 2012 or newer version.

9.4.5. Team Experience – Experience will be evaluated of prior work experience between design team an Offeror, and team experience with other DOD agencies and other design experience, particular at military installations.

9.5. Subfactor 5 - Prototypical Project Requirement

The Government will evaluate the proposal for how the prototypical construction project will be accomplished including the proposed schedule, critical path, and self-performance.

9.6 The following table will be used to in the Technical Factor 1 evaluation.

Combined Technical/Risk Ratings

Rating Description

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.

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.

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.

10.3.5. Documentation. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the Offeror’s level of meeting customer satisfaction on timeliness and quality of the documentation, reports, and other written materials completed by the Offeror on past projects.

10.3.6. Safety Record. All information available with respect to the Offeror’s safety record, to include Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS) rating and OSHA Form 300 or 300a for safety, lost time incident rate, safety incentive program, safety awards, and other indications of improvements in safety will be taken into consideration in evaluating the Offeror’s overall safety record.

10.4. The following weighting apply to relevancy considering all the elements listed above:

Rating Definition

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

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

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

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

11. PAST CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENTS: The following performance confidence assessments will be assigned each Offeror:

Rating Description

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 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.

12. Definition of Key Evaluation Terms (Strength, Weakness, & Deficiency). During evaluations, technical proposals will receive acknowledgment of any strengths, weaknesses and deficiencies. When applying these terms to an aspect(s) of an Offeror’s proposal, evaluators will use the following definitions:

Term Definition

Significant Strength 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.

Strength 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.

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

Significant Weakness A major flaw or combination of multiple flaws in a proposal that appreciably increase the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Deficiency A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

13.1 Pricing – Volume III

13.1 Total Evaluated Price will be evaluated using the price/cost proposal submitted for the prototypical project. Price will not be rated, but will be a factor in making the final best value determination for award. The Government will evaluate total price in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.305(a)(1), and by using one or more price analysis techniques identified in FAR Subpart 15.404-1 to ensure that prices are fair and reasonable. Note that, adequate price competition alone may establish reasonableness. The total evaluated prices for prototypical project will be the price used in the Government’s “best value” cost-technical trade-offs to select the awardee for this IDIQ.

13.2 If it is concluded that additional information is necessary to determine the reasonableness of the proposed price, the Contracting Officer may request information to determine the reasonableness of proposed prices of competing Offerors. This additional information may include, but is not limited to, indirect rates, material, labor and any other information that can substantiate the reasonableness of a proposed price. If applicable a Certificate of Current Cost and Price will be requested at time of award.
