1.0 OVERVIEW

Those Offerors short-listed in Phase 1 are invited to submit a Phase 2 proposal, as indicated below. The Government will evaluate the proposals in accordance with the evaluation criteria described herein, utilizing the definitions, evaluation and rating system described in paragraphs 8.3 and 8.4 of Section 00 22 10, Phase 1 Design- Build selection procedures. Cost/Price information will be evaluated for fairness, reasonableness, and for material unbalancing, as described herein. The Phase 2 evaluation will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15.

2.0 BASIS OF AWARD

2.1 The Contracting Officer will award a firm fixed-price contract to that responsible Phase 2 Offeror whose proposal the Source Selection Authority determines conforms to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government, considering the non-price factors described herein, and cost/price. All evaluation factors, other than cost/price, when combined, are considered more important than the cost/price.

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 offers. The Government will not award a contract to an Offeror whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001.

2.2 As part of the evaluation, the Government will evaluate betterments in proposals relative to the minimum standards in the RFP to determine if they offer additional value to the Government. In addition, innovations in proposals will be evaluated to determine if creative ideas of the Offeror are a better value to the Government compared to the minimum criteria. Innovations will be evaluated as betterments. Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each proposal. Proposals received will be considered proprietary information and shall be clearly marked as such by the offeror. All proposal must meet the minimum criteria.

5.1 GENERAL: The intent during the Phase 2 proposal submission and review process is not to require a detailed design effort or to perform a detailed design engineering review, respectively. The submission of fully developed drawings, details, or specifications for Government evaluation is not required or desired. The use of BIM to prepare or submit proposals is NOT required. The Government is not asking for design analyses in the proposal and will not be performing a detailed engineering analysis or design review at the proposal stage. Acceptance by the Government of the successful Offeror’s technical proposal will not relieve the successful Offeror’s responsibilities as the Designer of Record for the resulting contract. If the Government evaluators have actual knowledge or strong suspicion that a proposed technical solution is inappropriately sized, being used in the wrong application or otherwise does not meet the contract requirements; the Government will inform the Offeror in the event that discussions are conducted with the firm. However, the Government in its review does not assume responsibility to identify issues or errors in the proposed technical solution. After award, in the event of conflict between the contractor’s accepted proposal and the requirements in the final amended RFP, the order of precedence will be followed as indicated in clause 52.236-5000, DESIGN/BUILD CONTRACT – ORDER OF PRECEDENCE. The Offeror shall identify what it considers to be Betterments (See paragraph 5.4.1.4 of this section; and for evaluation see paragraph 5.4.2.4 of this section). Note that the Government will not evaluate any information that exceeds the page limits, where indicated below. The final design must comply with the RFP requirements except that accepted betterments become the new contract minimum requirements.

5.3 VOLUME 1 – TAB A – FACTOR 2 – PROPOSED CONTRACT DURATION and PRELIMINARY

SUMMARY SCHEDULE

5.3.1 Submission Requirements:

5.3.1.1 Proposed Contract Duration: The Offeror shall indicate its proposed total contract duration, expressed in calendar days not to exceed the maximum allowable contract duration so specified, in the appropriate Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) in the Proposed Bid Schedule in Tab A of Volume 3. The Offeror also shall include its proposed contract duration within the header to its Preliminary Summary Schedule required in paragraph 5.3.1.2.

For purposes of this submission, the total contract duration shall begin with the issuance of the Notice to Proceed following award and shall conclude when all output performance, efficiency, and environmental compliance guarantees and training requirements are met as defined by terms of this solicitation and confirmed by the contracting officer. The total contract duration shall be equal to the total number of days reflected in the Preliminary Summary Schedule required.

5.3.1.2 Preliminary Summary Schedule: Submit a summary level schedule for integrated design and construction. Schedules or diagrams may be provided separately in a size that is easily read, but shall be bound and clearly labeled as VOLUME 2 – TAB A. This summary schedule will, after contract award, be replaced with the Project Schedule, as required by Section 01 32 01.00 10: Project Schedule. The summary schedule shall be task oriented, indicating the number of calendar days, after notice to proceed, by which milestones are to be achieved.

Offeror may use a critical path or other method of his choice; however, schedules shall be graphically represented.

The proposed project schedule shall reflect the proposed contract durations for individual tasks and cumulatively.

Offerors are instructed to address the following features:

(a) Provide a narrative, describing the design packaging plan for separate design packages, based on the Offeror’s plan for fast tracking. Describe all design and construction to be “fast-tracked” (See Section 01 33 16: Design After Award). If long lead item equipment must be ordered prior to completion of a design phase, describe the requirement in the narrative and show the required ordering task in the schedule.

(b) Show the design phase, including events associated with coordinating the interim and final design submittals for each package and the proper handling of the review comments for each design package (See Section 01 33 16:

Design After Award).

(c) Show the overall construction phase for the facility, site work, and utilities (Offerors are not expected to depict detailed breakdown of construction (e.g., by trades)). Show fast track starts for design packages.

(d) Show turnover of the facility. The time to complete the facility and turnover to the Government must consider the requirement for the Contractor’s CQC completion inspection, commissioning, and the subsequent joint Contractor-Government turnover inspection.

(e) Show as-built submissions (See Section 01 78 02.00 10: Project Closeout).

(f) Constraints: Identify any constraints on the schedules presented (e.g., labor or material availability, permits, weather, etc.) and describe how the Offeror intends to address these constraints. Offeror must demonstrate the capability and flexibility to plan and schedule the complete project to meet the proposed contract completion period.

(g) Indicate the anticipated overall critical path on the schedule.

5.3.2 Evaluation Criteria:

5.3.2.1 Proposed Contract Duration: The total contract duration submitted in response to paragraph 5.3.1.1 shall become the contractually binding completion period in the event of award. The Government will evaluate the reasonableness of the proposed contract duration by assessing how well the proposed summary schedule supports it taking into account the logic and sequencing of activities, typical design and construction durations, and constraints.

To be eligible for a rating of “acceptable” or better for this factor, the proposed contract duration may not exceed the maximum allowed contract duration, unless the Preliminary Summary Schedule submitted in response to 5.3.1.2 clearly identifies a constraint(s) and describes with particularity why the constraint(s) will preclude the Offeror from achieving the maximum allowed contract duration.

The Government may consider a proposed contract duration which is shorter than the maximum allowed duration an advantage. Provided that the Government deems the Preliminary Summary Schedule realistic and reasonably achievable, the Government will evaluate the extent to which the proposed duration may provide for a shorter duration. To be considered an advantage to the Government, a difference of at least three weeks (twenty-one (21) calendar days) between the proposed contract duration and the maximum allowable contract duration will be deemed a material benefit to the Government, with greater differences evaluated accordingly. Similarly, in the comparative analysis of competing proposals, the Government will consider a difference of at least three weeks (twenty-one (21) calendar days) to be material in terms of a comparative advantage, with greater differences evaluated accordingly. Offerors are cautioned that the Government will rate adversely (to include finding a weakness, significant weakness, or deficiency) an unreasonably condensed contract duration which may place additional cost or schedule risk on the Government or which may create a risk of contract or performance failure.

5.3.2.2 Preliminary Summary Schedule: The Government will evaluate the Preliminary Summary Schedule to assess the degree of the Offeror’s understanding of the project scope. The Government will assess the extent to which it identifies constraints which must be considered in the schedule (e.g., permitting (see Section 01 10 00), long lead items, etc.) and the extent to which the Offeror describes innovative approaches to mitigate the constraints.

The Government will evaluate the degree of understanding of events associated with coordinating design submittals, reviews, and incorporating review comments. The Government will assess the Offeror’s capability to schedule the complete project within the proposed contract duration, and the realism of the schedule. The Government will evaluate the design packaging plan for logic and reasonableness, how well it facilitates meeting the proposed contract duration, how well it facilitates the Government’s ability to timely perform its design reviews, how well it minimizes risk for tear-out and demonstrates ability to provide for coordinated reviews.
