The section shall be prepared in an orderly format and in sufficient detail to enable the Government to make a thorough evaluation of the Offeror’s technical competence and ability to comply with the contract task requirements. The Offeror shall address as specifically as possible the actual methodology that would be used for accomplishing the SOW tasks in accordance with the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS). The Technical Acceptability Volume shall be organized according to the following general outline:

1) Table of Contents: The table of contents section shall include a list of table and drawings and across reference matrix, as applicable.

a.) Subfactor (a) – Mission Capability: It is imperative that the Offerors articulate their experience and understanding of how a JOC operates. Provide a plan that incorporates methodology, processes and resources to manage the overall effort, mobilize and set up on the installation, respond to the KO’s notification of a Task Order requirement for emergency repairs as well as routine work requirements, the methodology you would employ to estimate, and submit task order proposals, and Task Order management including an explanation of how you will monitor the prosecution and management of a high volume of awarded Task Orders simultaneously. The Plan must clearly demonstrate your understanding of the utilization of a unit price book (RSMeans) for task order proposals. Demonstrate how your plan will satisfy both the technical and administrative requirements of this solicitation.

b.) Subfactor (b) - Proposed Staffing: Proposed Staffing: Provide a staffing plan to include an organizational flow chart and narrative that describes your company’s hierarchy and accountability, key personnel you intend to perform critical functions under the awarded contract, and how those positions act as a team in providing complete management and oversight for the performance of the contract and all Task Orders.

The Government considers the following key positions to be the absolute minimum acceptable level of management staffing requirements: Project Manager, Superintendent, Quality Control Plan Manager and Estimator. Key personnel employed under the awarded contract shall meet the minimum qualifications described in the paragraphs below. All personnel performing in the described positions shall be direct employees of the prime contractor; none of these functions is allowed to be subcontracted below the prime contractor.

The Plan shall discuss the Offeror’s retention and replacement program for these key positions, to include timelines for replacement and how the Offeror will execute those functions until a new employee is hired.

The Plan shall describe how the Offeror will provide additional resources during seasonal workload fluctuation.

Under this small business set-aside, Offerors are free to propose teaming arrangements, mentor/protégée agreements, partnerships, and joint ventures so long as they are official business arrangements allowable under the Small Business Act. Any arrangements proposed shall be sanctioned by the Small Business Administration, and the KO will validate the eligibility of those arrangements as part of this subfactor.

Project Manager (PM): This individual shall be a full-time, dedicated employee of the prime contractor and speak fluent English. The Project Manager shall possess a minimum of 10 years of experience in the Construction field, with at least five (5) of those 10 years of experience in construction management, and shall possess at least an associate’s degree in one of the following disciplines: Engineering, Architecture, Construction Science, Business Management, or Construction Management. The Project Manager shall have the maturity and business acumen to manage the entire effort, successfully plan and execute all task orders, and possess extensive understanding of and familiarity with the principles, methods, and techniques of architectural, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering. The Project Manager shall be vested with the authority to commit the contractor and act as an official representative of the company. The Project Manager shall have documented work experience in Federal government construction contracts, and be completely familiar with all Federal regulations relative to conducting construction on a Federal installation, to include all environmental and preservation implications.

Superintendent: A superintendent shall be assigned to task order worksites in accordance with FAR clause 52.236-

6. The superintendent shall be a full- time employee of the prime contractor, speak fluent English, and be directly accountable to the PM. To avoid conflicts of interest, superintendents shall not perform dual functions on the same jobsite; e.g., superintendents shall not perform additional duties in a quality control management or safety officer role on a covered task order. Each superintendent shall possess a minimum of five (5) years documented journeyman level work experience in the construction field, with no less than five (5) years of that experience being in a supervisory position. The individual(s) shall provide verification of credible qualifications through a recognized union in the construction trades environment. Each superintendent shall manage no more than a total of four (4) active projects at any given time, provided there is no more than 10 minutes travel time between job sites.

Superintendence of the job can be supplemented with competent job site foremen who are knowledgeable and experienced in the type of work being performed on the site. The individual(s) identified will be responsible for timely progress and completion of all assigned work, and be wholly devoted to the supervision of work in progress under this contract and task orders issued there from only. The superintendent shall be responsible for maintaining the approved progress schedule (schedule of values).

Quality Control Manager (QCM): This individual shall be a full-time, dedicated employee of the prime contractor, speak fluent English, and be directly accountable to the corporate level Quality Control Manager only.

As the QCM, this individual shall be responsible for the overall quality of work performed under this contract, and possess knowledge of and show current license/certification in a 40-hour OSHA Safety Inspection Certification and the US Army Corps of Engineers Quality Control Training Course. The QCM and any utilized support staff shall remain autonomous to the corporate level Quality Control Manager, and not be influenced by other members of the on-site staff. The QCM shall have a minimum of five (5) years of experience in construction quality control in Department of Defense agency (i.e., Corps of Engineers, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, etc.) activities. The QCM SHALL NOT HAVE OTHER DUTIES THAN QUALITY CONTROL. Should the QCM fail to be dedicated solely to quality control functions identified herein, or be otherwise directed to perform outside these boundaries, this shall be construed as a contract violation. The QCM shall possess adequate skills and experience to implement and enforce the Contractor's Quality Control Plan (see detailed Quality Control Plan requirements at TE F, Division 1, General Requirements). There shall be only one QCM under the contract. An alternate QCM, meeting the same qualification standards stated herein, may be utilized during short absences of the QCM; however, an alternative shall not perform in that capacity when the assigned QCM is present. The QCM and any quality control staff shall have adequate construction work experience to detect violations in all construction phases, and all disciplines (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and civil) of construction quality control. The Government has determined that adequate construction work experience is expertise in all four disciplines (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and civil), and show current license/certification in their respective areas of expertise (whether it be mechanical, electrical, plumbing or civil). The quality control support staff shall be directly accountable to the quality control management chain of command without influence from production.

Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO): The Contractor shall provide a fully qualified Site Safety and Health Officer meeting the qualifications and training requirements in the EM 385-1-1 for up to and every four awarded task orders situated within a 10-minute commute of one another.

c.) Subfactor (c) - Notional Task Order Requirements: Attachment 4 and 4a provides a fictional workload scenario of five (5) notional Task Order projects that are typical of a JOC. These scenarios do not represent actual construction workload. Offerors are expected to apply those principles, processes and knowledge required herein to prepare a detailed proposal for each of the notional Task Orders.

Responses must incorporate all roles and responsibilities, means and methods, and the requirements at TE A, Division 1, General Requirements of this solicitation. The Unit Price Book discussed at TE A Division 1, General Requirements shall be utilized to provide line items, take-off quantities, unit prices, etc., to support proposed task order prices. All requirements normally associated with actual Task Order proposal requests should be considered in the response. All five Task Order proposals must be supported by the Offeror’s rationale for selection of line items, critical path milestones, etc., in order to be acceptable for evaluation and consideration for award.

Volume III – Past Performance

The Government will perform a Confidence Assessment of the Offeror’s past performance to arrive at a confidence rating. The Confidence Assessment represents the evaluation of an Offeror's past work record to assess the Government's confidence in the Offeror's probability of successfully performing as proposed. Past Performance information described herein is required on the Offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed to perform. In addition, the Offeror shall detail the percentage of work performed by each subcontractor or partner based on the total proposed price. The Offeror shall submit, along with the information required in this paragraph, a consent letter (see Attachment 1), executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the Offeror so the Offeror can respond to such information. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the Offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the Offeror's performance.

The Offeror shall include documentation regarding their relevant past performance as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation. The Offeror SHALL NOT go back any farther than six (6) years from the issue date of this solicitation for the submitted data. The past performance data shall document a successful history of past contract performance. This volume has no page limitation. Relevant efforts are defined as services/efforts that are the same as or similar to the effort (as compared to NAICS code 236220) required by the solicitation including work on an active military installation, work in occupied buildings, and work with same/similar state and federal construction codes. Projects considered relevant may include JOC, Simplified Acquisition Base Engineer Requirements (SABER) contracts, or Construction, Repair, Renovation, Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization (SRM) contracts of at least $2,000 and a duration of no less than 60 days of performance. The Offeror is required to submit past performance data on its self as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation. If the Offeror has no past performance data then it must so state. If it is relying on the past performance data of a joint venture or teaming partner that must also be stated and evidence submitted showing that such a joint venture exist for the purposes of this acquisition. Data concerning the Offeror shall be provided first, followed by each proposed major subcontractor, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners in alphabetical order. In the case of a joint venture, the prime Offeror joint venture should demonstrate successful experience and past performance as that joint venture, as well as each member of the joint venture as applicable. Failure to provide the past performance data/information requested can result in a proposal being determined to be noncompliant and may be eliminated from further consideration.

In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the Offeror’s Past Performance Volume and information obtained from other sources, such as the CPARS, PPIRS or similar systems, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and commercial sources. Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by Offeror in their proposals may be used by the Government to evaluate Offeror past performance. However, the burden of providing thorough, complete, and current past performance information as requested in this paragraph remains with the Offeror. Proposals that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph risk rejection or a less than acceptable performance rating by the Government.

In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)) and, as a result, will receive a "Neutral Confidence" rating for the Past Performance factor. All past performance comments received will be taken into account and could affect the overall rating. The overall past performance evaluation is a subjective decision based on the whole of all data received.

Submission Requirements. The Offeror shall submit a Past Performance Volume containing the following:

1) Table of Contents

2) Consent Letters (Attachment 1): Executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing the release of past performance information so the Offeror can respond to such information.

3) Client Authorization Letters: For each identified effort for a commercial customer authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the Offeror’s performance under a specific contract.

4) Organization Structure Change History: Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant present or past efforts or between conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment.

Since the Government intends to consider present and past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the Offeror(s), your "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.

5) Specific Relevant Contracts Format (Attachment 2): is limited to four (4) pages per reference. The Offeror shall provide documentation outlining the Offeror’s past performance with contracts, as a prime or major subcontractor, which is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this solicitation. The submittal shall include specific narrative explanation and rationale supporting objectives achieved and assertion of relevance and how it was determined that the work performed previously was the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the work specified by this solicitation. For any contracts that did not/do not meet original schedule or technical performance requirements, provide a brief explanation of the reason(s) for the shortcomings and any corrective action(s) taken to avoid recurrence. The Offerors shall list each time the delivery schedule was revised and provide an explanation of why the revision was necessary. The Offerors shall also provide a copy of any Cure Notices or Show Cause Letters received on each contract listed and a description of any corrective action implemented by the Offeror or proposed subcontractor. The Offerors shall indicate if any of the contracts listed were terminated and the type and reasons for the termination. Additionally, provide a narrative describing any litigation activity (i.e. bond claims, liquidated damages, insurance actions, or claims related to project performance, etc.) that the Offeror has been, or is currently party to involving its subcontractors, customers or any Surety within the past six (6) years. The narrative should include the Parties involved, the magnitude of the Claim and the resolution.

6) Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 3): is for the contracts identified on each Specific Relevant Contract Reference. The Offeror shall forward a copy of the Past

Performance Questionnaire to the points of contact responsible for monitoring performance under such contracts. The points of contact shall return the questionnaires directly to anthony.g.tiroch2.civ@army.mil and victoria.a.joseph.civ@army.mil no later than 4:00 pm CST, 27 January 2022. Any questionnaires not returned directly to anthony.g.tiroch2.civ@army.mil and victoria.a.joseph.civ@army.mil will not be reviewed or evaluated. The information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the Offeror’s past performance. New entities formed for the purpose of proposing on this solicitation (joint venture, teaming partners, or mentor protégé) that have no past performance history under that business arrangement are permitted to submit past performance information for the individual entities forming the arrangement.

Volume IV – Price

a. General. The Government reserves the right to require the submission of Other Than Certified Cost or

Pricing Data as is deemed necessary to arrive at a fair and reasonable price. All information relating to the proposed cost/price data must be submitted in electronic format. Electronic versions of the Cost/Price proposal shall be submitted in MS Office Excel format only, and shall NOT be read only or password protected. All formulas, lookup tables, and links shall be intact, and no links shall exist to files not included with the submission. Excel workbooks should not contain hidden spreadsheets. PDF or flat files will not be acceptable. Failure to comply with these formatting requirements may result in rejection of the proposal. Offeror’s submittals shall be free of viruses, Trojans, spyware, and other malicious code for which appropriate detection and removal/quarantine software exists.

b. The basis for pricing this JOC incorporates the use of a commercial cost estimating and project management software tool (e.g., WinEst, MS Project, e4Clicks) which employs a price modifier known as a coefficient. A coefficient is a numerical factor that is multiplied by the estimated total project costs to derive the final fixed price Task Order price proposed to the Government. The coefficient includes various factors reflecting the contractor’s cost of doing business and operating a field office on Fort Polk, LA (e.g., direct and indirect labor, field overhead, corporate overhead, equipment leases, transportation, training and certification, permits and licenses, profit) and a factor reflecting an evaluation of the accuracy of a contract-specified cost estimating tool to the local subcontractor/supplier market. This is generally done using a Unit Price Book (UPB) such as RSMeans, and is generally referred to as the “value of the book.” The Government uses RSMeans cost estimating tool. All estimates shall be submitted using a commercial cost estimating software and shall contain all of the line items found in the RSMeans bound volumes.

c. Submission Requirements. The Offeror shall submit a Price Volume containing the following:

1) Bondability Letter: The Offeror shall provide a letter from a qualifying surety that validates the ability to provide bonding at the contract’s program ceiling and specifies the Offeror’s aggregate and single project limits, remaining bond capacity, and impact anticipated from the proposed contract. The program ceiling is $10 Million/year for $50 Million/5-year contract. In accordance with AFARS 5117.9004-2(g), “Bonding must be sufficient to cover the stated estimated annual maximum contract value”. The contractor will be responsible for providing the required level of bonds for the base year and any exercised option year prior to the start of performance which is 100% of the penal sum at the start of the base year and every option year that is exercised.

2) Section 00010 (Solicitation Contract Form): Section 00010 shall be submitted fully completed and error free. It shall contain the Offeror’s coefficient rates for the established Contract Line Items (CLINs).

Development of Coefficients: This solicitation requires the development of three separate coefficient factors; (1) Normal Working Hours; (2) Other Than Normal Working Hours; and (3) Non-prepriced Items. The Government has determined the following allocation of CLIN values within the established annual ceiling / per category as shown below:

3) CLIN X001 Normal Working Hours (85% or $8,500,000.00)

4) CLIN X002 Other Than Normal Working Hours (5% or $50,000.00)

5) CLIN X003 Non-prepriced Items (Not-To-Exceed 10% or

$1,000,000.00)

When developing coefficients for submission, Offerors shall utilize Attachments 5, 6, and 7 and consider the cost elements identified therein as the minimum types of costs to incorporate into their coefficients.
