Describe your past performance on programs or projects similar in nature, work (design- build/design bid-build) size, magnitude, complexity and scope to the work described in this solicitation. At a minimum the Offeror shall submit past performance references for the five (5) projects identified on Attachment 5.

Past performance information will be assessed for recency and relevancy. Submit information presently active or completed within the past six (6) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation that you consider relevant in demonstrating your ability to perform the proposed effort. This information shall include data on efforts performed by other divisions, corporate management, critical subcontractors, or teaming contractors, if such resources will be brought to bear or significantly influence the performance of the proposed effort. Offerors may identify state and local Government and private Contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements.

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 Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or similar systems, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and commercial sources. Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by offerors 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 offerors. Proposals that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph risk rejection or a less than acceptable performance rating by the Government. 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. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

Past Performance Questionnaire - See Attachment 6: Past Performance Questionnaire. 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 MICC Fort McCoy, Jamie Gregar, Contract Specialist, jamie.j.gregar.civ@mail.mil. Any questionnaires not returned directly MICC-Fort McCoy will not be reviewed and evaluated. The information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the offeror’s past performance. New entities that have no past customers shall annotate on the Summary Page that they have had no previous clients and that the questionnaires cannot be provided. Do not submit more than 5 Past Performance Questionnaire’s to the Fort McCoy office.

(d) Part IV – FACTOR 3 - Price. Price is not assigned a rating or scored. The Government will evaluate each offeror’s total proposed price for the Live Seed Project to determine if the offeror’s proposed prices are fair and reasonable, complete and balanced utilizing price analysis techniques in accordance with the guidelines in FAR 15.404-1.

Offeror must provide a detailed cost breakout of the cost proposal describing material and labor costs associated with execution of the Seed Project, subtotaled by the sixteen divisions of the specification format developed by the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI). See Attachment 7, Seed Project Cost Breakdown. Design costs must be incorporated into Division One. Provide a summary page with the grand total including all overhead and profit markups. The Seed Project is “live,” which means it is anticipated to be awarded at the time of IDIQ contract award, and therefore Offerors should submit their very best price.

Offerors must provide a narrative that explains how their price for the Seed Project was developed.

b. Award for All of the Work. The Government intends to award eight contracts as a result of this solicitation. Incomplete offers will be considered ineligible for award. As set forth in FAR 52.215-1 (f)(4), the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a), Clarifications and award without discussions). Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer determines them to be necessary. In accordance with FAR 15.306(c) (1), if discussions are determined necessary, the contracting officer shall establish a competitive range comprised of all of the most highly rated proposals. 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.

c. Factor 2: Past Performance.

(a) Assessment Ratings. The Past Performance Factor will be assigned one of the ratings defined below.

Rating

Description

Acceptable

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

The Past Performance evaluation will assess offeror's relevant and recent past performance record to determine its ability to perform as proposed. This will be assessed at the Past Performance factor level. Potential sources of data are sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Award Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) or similar systems and State Department Watch Lists. In assessing past performance, the Government will assess the Offeror’s overall past performance, and will examine how well the offeror performed in the following areas:

Quality Control (QC) Timely Performance Effectiveness of Management Including Cost Management

Compliance with Safety Standards

Customer Satisfaction

(b) Recency Assessment. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past six (6) years. Past performance information outside of six (6) years will not be evaluated.

(c) Relevancy Assessment. To be relevant, the effort must be similar in nature of work, size, and complexity. The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine if it is the same or similar in nature of work, size, and complexity to the services/products being procured under this solicitation. Recent past performance is defined as not more than 6 years; relevant in terms of similar nature of work, size and complexity.

A relevancy determination of the offeror’s (including joint venture partner(s) and major and critical subcontractor(s)) past performance will be made. In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, consideration should be given to what aspects of an offeror’s contract history would give the most confidence that the offeror will satisfy the current procurement. The past performance information provided in the proposal and obtained from other sources will be used to establish the relevancy of past performance.

(d) Offerors without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

d. Factor 3: Price. The Government will evaluate each offerors’ total proposed price for the Live Seed Project to determine if the offerors proposed prices are fair and reasonable, complete and balanced utilizing price analysis techniques FAR 15.404-1.

Price will not be scored or rated.

Reasonableness. The price proposals of all Offerors will be evaluated in order to determine whether they are reasonable in relation to the work to be performed, reflect a clear understanding of the Seed Project requirements, and reflect a clear understanding of the technical proposal.

Completeness/Accuracy. A determination will be made as to whether the Offerors have properly understood the proposal instructions and properly completed the price schedules. The proposals will also be checked for mathematical accuracy.
