L.5. VOLUME 2: FACTOR 2 – Past Performance.

L.5.1. The Offeror shall provide documentation outlining the offeror’s past performance with contracts, as a prime or subcontractor, which is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this solicitation. The submittal shall include rationale supporting your 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.

L.5.2. The Past Performance evaluation will be accomplished by reviewing aspects of an Offeror's recent and relevant Past Performance, focusing on and targeting performance which is relevant to the effort as it relates to the services being procured under this solicitation.

L.5.3. Past Performance information described herein is required on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed. The offeror shall submit, along with the information required in this paragraph, a consent letter, 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.

L.5.4. 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 the last five (5) years from issuance of the solicitation for the submitted data. The past performance data shall document a successful history of past contract performance.

L.5.5. 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), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARs), or other databases; and may be obtained from other sources available to the Government, and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, Fee Determining Officials. The past performance evaluation team will review this past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance confidence assessment. See FAR 15.101- 2(b)(1) for treatment of past performance relative to small business 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 (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

L.5.6. Submission Requirements. The offeror shall submit a Past Performance Volume containing the following:

•Table of Contents

• Summary Page describing the role of the offeror and each subcontractor, teaming partner, and /or joint venture partner that the offeror is required to provide Past Performance Specific Relevant Contract Reference Sheets for the past performance experience in accordance with Attachment 4.

• Consent Letters 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

• Client Authorization Letters for each identified effort for a commercial customer authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror’s performance.

• Organization Structure Change History— Organizational 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.

• Specific Relevant Contracts Format - Sheets in accordance with Technical Exhibit 4 (in the SOW) and are limited to 3 page 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 rationale supporting your 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. Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort, and to what aspects of the proposed effort they relate.

L.6. VOLUME 3: FACTOR 3 – Price.

L.6.1. This volume shall contain all required pricing information described below. The Offeror shall not include pricing information in any Volumes 1, 2, or 4 of its proposal.

L.6.2. It is expected that all contracts awarded will be based upon adequate price competition; therefore, the Offeror is not required to provide certified cost/pricing data with its proposal. If, after receipt of the proposals, the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition does not exist in accordance with FAR 15.403-1, the Offeror shall provide certified cost/pricing data as requested by the Contracting Officer. Similarly, if the contracting officer determines a fair and reasonable price cannot be established with price analysis alone, the offeror may be asked, and shall then provide, other than certified cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.403-1(b) and/or FAR 15-404-1(a).

L.6.3 Contractor Pricing. The Offeror is required to complete Attachment 3 – Price Proposal Breakdown Worksheet. The offeror shall submit their approach for accomplishing the Project from commencement to completion. The approach shall describe the Offeror’s understanding of the work required utilized the SOW, specifications, and drawings.

L.6.3.1. When completing the Price Proposal Breakdown Worksheet the offeror shall provide their fully burdened hourly rate, inclusive of profit, for each labor category listed. Offerors are reminded that it is the responsibility of the offeror to submit complete and accurate proposal amounts.

L.6.3.2. The Price Proposal Breakdown Worksheet calculates an aggregate total which will be the Evaluated Price.

L.6.3.3. The labor categories listed in the Price Proposal Breakdown Worksheet are not all inclusive and offerors may propose other labor categories.

L.6.3.4. The Offeror shall identify on the Price Proposal Breakdown Worksheet if each labor category is subject to the Davis-Bacon Act.

L.6.3.5. The fully burdened labor rates proposed for each year cannot be adjusted except for instances where the labor categories are subject to the Davis-Bacon Act and a revision is permitted under the provisions of FAR Clause 52.222-43. Therefore, offerors are cautioned to include inflation where warranted.

L.6.3.6. Should the contract be issued to the offeror, the proposed rates provided will become the maximum rate allowable (ceiling rate) for that labor category when pricing the contract and contract modifications.

L.6.3.7. The estimate provided in the Price Proposal Breakdown Worksheet is for evaluation purposes only.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

EVALUATION FACTORS

M.1. Basis for Contract Award.

M.1.1. The Government intends to solicit and award on a small business set aside competition basis resulting in a single award.

M.1.1.1. Unbalanced, inaccurate or incomplete price proposals, may be the grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition. The

Government will evaluate proposed prices for reasonableness using price analysis techniques. The Government will not evaluate proposed prices for reasonableness for proposals that were evaluated and rated “Unacceptable in Factor 1 (Technically Acceptability).”

M.1.2. The government intends to make a single award as a result of this solicitation. As set forth in FAR 52.215-1 (f)(4), the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors, but reserves the right to seek 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 later determines them to be necessary. In the event that discussions are held, a competitive range determination will be made. 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.

M.2. Evaluation Criteria

M.2.1. Evaluation criteria consist of price and non-price factors. The proposals will be evaluated based on the following factors and subfactors:

M.2.2. Non-price factor 1 will be evaluated using the adjectival ratings in Table 1 (Technical Acceptability acceptable/unacceptable rating).

Proposals are evaluated for acceptability, but not ranked using the non-price factors. In order to be considered awardable, there must be an “acceptable” rating in every non-price factor/subfactor.

Table 1 Technical Acceptability Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

M.2.3. All proposals shall be subject to evaluation by a team of Government personnel. Support contractors will not participate as members of or advisors to the source selection team.

M.3. Factor 1: Technical Acceptability.

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s proposed Technical Acceptability approach to meeting the solicitation requirements to ensure the offeror has a clear understanding of the nature and scope of the work set forth from commencement to completion of the project. Whether the offeror, along with their teaming partner/subcontractors, has the specialized experience identified in the SOW. For the purpose of evaluation, any reference to Task Areas in the solicitation include the subtaskings. The offeror’s proposal shall demonstrate a clear understanding of the nature and scope of the work set forth in the SOW and likelihood of success based on the offeror’s demonstrated experience. The overall evaluation rating assigned to this factor will be based on the lowest rated subfactors listed below.

M.3.1. Factor 1/ Subfactor 1: Construction Experience.

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s construction experience approach and actual methodology it will use to perform all construction activities identified in the SOW. The approach shall demonstrate as efficiently and effectively as possible a clear understanding of the nature and scope of all construction activities in the SOW. The Government will evaluate whether the offeror has a clear understanding of the SOW requirements and has demonstrated an ability to successfully perform all construction activities singularly, or with teaming arrangements, joint ventures, or subcontracting within limitations. If there are risks in the Offeror’s proposed technical approach, the offeror shall identify the risks and provide their plan to mitigate the identified risks.

Failure to demonstrate an ability to perform all construction activities identified in the SOW will result in an unacceptable rating for this factor.

M.3.2. Factor 1 / Subfactor 2: Design/Build Experience.

The Government will evaluate whether the offeror demonstrates the ability to describe their design-build capabilities by providing the following:

a) Provide written evidence of the job qualifications and experience of their architectural/engineering design personnel proposed for this contract.

b) Describing the proposed internal design quality control processes, and the ability to manage multiple design-build projects simultaneously.

c) Demonstrate the capabilities that includes but are not limited to the

1) Foundation and Site Work

2) Concrete Construction

3) Masonry Construction

4) Metals

5) Carpentry

6) Thermal/Moisture Protection

7) Earthwork

8) Curtain Walls, Doors, Windows, Glass

9) Finished Materials

10) Communications

11) Mechanical/Electrical

12) Demolition and Removal 13)Roads/Paving.

M.3.3. Factor 1 / Subfactor 3: Management Approach.

M.3.3.1. The Government will evaluate whether the offeror has proposed a sound management approach to monitor and manage a workforce capable of accomplishing all requirements set forth in the SOW efficiently and effectively to ensure timely quality work. Failure to demonstrate an ability to perform in all five (5) Task Areas will result in an unacceptable rating for this subfactor. The Government will evaluate the

• Whether the proposed organizational structure delineates lines of management authority, supervision, span of control, and accountability between/across technical specifications; and between the prime and its subcontractors;

• Whether the offeror has identified where individual authorities and decision making authority lies within the Offeror’s organization;

• Whether the offeror has identified the relationship between corporate and on-site management/administration;

between/across technical disciplines; and between the prime and its subcontractors; the management and integration of subcontractors and/or teaming partners, into the prime contractor’s overall structure;

• Whether the offeror has identified a sound approach to managing multiple task orders, covering multiple tasking/subtasking areas, with multiple skill sets, in multiple locations simultaneously;

M.3.4. Factor 1 / Subfactor 4: Bonding Capability.

The Government will evaluate whether offeror demonstrates their ability to obtain sufficient bonding of $5 million minimum per task order. The offeror provided evidence showing minimum available bonding capacity of $10 million aggregate with verification from the Securities or Bonding Company (to be completed by Surety Company and submitted by Offeror). The information included how long the Surety Company has provided bonding for the Contractor and the bonding limit for a single project, aggregate amount, and current available bonding.

M.4. Factor 2: Past Performance.

M.4.1. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s recent and relevant past performance to determine how well the contractor performed on the referenced contracts and to assess the offeror’s probability of performing the solicitation’s requirements. Past performance is assessed at the factor level after evaluating aspects of the offeror’s recent past performance that is relevant to the services being procured under this solicitation. Offerors are cautioned that in conducting the performance risk assessment, the Government may use data provided in the offeror’s proposal and data obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; and may be obtained from other sources available to the Government, and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, Fee Determining Officials and/or State Department Watch Lists. The team will use information determined to be recent and relevant to determine how well the contractor performed on the referenced contracts. Past performance areas of evaluation include:

• Business Relations

• Quality of Service

• Schedule

• Customer Satisfaction

• Compliance with Socio-Economic Goals

M.4.2. Each offeror will receive a performance confidence assessment rating based on the offeror’s recent past performance, focusing on performance that is relevant to the Contract requirements. The Government will first conduct a recency and relevancy assessment of the submitted past performance efforts. Only submissions assessed as recent and relevant, per the definitions below, will be evaluated for a past performance confidence assessment:

• Recency: To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

• Relevance: 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, size, and complexity to the services/products being procured under this solicitation.

M.4.3. Past Performance will be evaluated using the adjectival ratings in Table 2 (Past Performance Evaluation Ratings) below:

Table 2. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Rating Descriptio n

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. (*See Note below)

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.

*Note: 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 (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable”.

M.5. Factor 3: Price.

M.5.1. The contractor shall submit the following documents as part of the Price Proposal. Price-Section B shall be submitted fully complete. Offerors shall prepare pricing information for the Contractor’s Price Proposal Breakdown Worksheet, using firm-fixed pricing. Offerors shall complete the subsequent worksheets, listing the work elements, number of units for each work element, pricing for material, equipment, labor, labor burden, general and administration costs, profit, bonds, and all other charges that the offeror intends to recover and perform. No other format will be accepted. The Price factor will not be scored or rated. The offeror’s proposal will be evaluated for price reasonableness and pricing balance in accordance with FAR 15.404-1. Through these techniques the Government will determine whether prices are reasonable and complete.

M.5.1.1. Price reasonableness will be evaluated in accordance with the proposal analysis techniques described in FAR 15.404- 1(b).

M.5.1.2. Unbalanced Pricing may be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g), as applicable, to assess potential performance risk.

M.5.1.3. Completeness/Accuracy. A determination will be made as to whether the offerors have properly understood the proposal instructions. The proposals will also be checked for mathematical accuracy.

M.5.2. The Offerors shall submit their approach for accomplishing the project from commencement to completion. The approach shall demonstrate the Offeror’s understanding of the work required utilizing the SOW, specifications, and drawings. contractor pricing. The offeror’s submission in response to L.6.3 above will be used by the Government to analyze and evaluate each Offeror’s cost/price proposal submitted for the contract.
