CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.215-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMPETITIVE ACQUISITION (JAN 2004)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision--

“Discussions” are negotiations that occur after establishment of the competitive range that may, at the Contracting Officer's discretion, result in the offeror being allowed to revise its proposal.

“In writing or written” means any worded or numbered expression which can be read, reproduced, and later communicated, and includes electronically transmitted and stored information.

“Proposal modification” is a change made to a proposal before the solicitation's closing date and time, or made in response to an amendment, or made to correct a mistake at any time before award.

“Proposal revision” is a change to a proposal made after the solicitation closing date, at the request of or as allowed by a Contracting Officer as the result of negotiations.

“Time”, if stated as a number of days, is calculated using calendar days, unless otherwise specified, and will include Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. However, if the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the period shall include the next working day.

(b) Amendments to solicitations. If this solicitation is amended, all terms and conditions that are not amended remain unchanged. Offerors shall acknowledge receipt of any amendment to this solicitation by the date and time specified in the amendment(s).

(c) Submission, modification, revision, and withdrawal of proposals. (1) Unless other methods (e.g., electronic commerce or facsimile) are permitted in the solicitation, proposals and modifications to proposals shall be submitted in paper media in sealed envelopes or packages (i) addressed to the office specified in the solicitation, and (ii) showing the time and date specified for receipt, the solicitation number, and the name and address of the offeror.

Offerors using commercial carriers should ensure that the proposal is marked on the outermost wrapper with the information in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) and (c)(1)(ii) of this provision.

(2) The first page of the proposal must show--

(i) The solicitation number;

(ii) The name, address, and telephone and facsimile numbers of the offeror (and electronic address if available);

(iii) A statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation and agreement to furnish any or all items upon which prices are offered at the price set opposite each item;

(iv) Names, titles, and telephone and facsimile numbers (and electronic addresses if available) of persons authorized to negotiate on the offeror's behalf with the Government in connection with this solicitation; and

(v) Name, title, and signature of person authorized to sign the proposal. Proposals signed by an agent shall be accompanied by evidence of that agent's authority, unless that evidence has been previously furnished to the issuing office.

(3) Submission, modification, or revision, of proposals.

(i) Offerors are responsible for submitting proposals, and any modifications, or revisions, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that proposal or revision is due.

(ii)(A) Any proposal, modification, or revision received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(1) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of proposals; or

(2) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(3) It is the only proposal received.

(B) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful proposal that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(iii) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the proposal wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(iv) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that proposals cannot be received at the office designated for receipt of proposals by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation, the time specified for receipt of proposals will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(v) Proposals may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before award. Oral proposals in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile proposals, proposals may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before award, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at 52.215-5, Facsimile Proposals. Proposals may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or an authorized representative, if the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the proposal before award.

(4) Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation, the offeror may propose to provide any item or combination of items.

(5) Offerors shall submit proposals in response to this solicitation in English, unless otherwise permitted by the solicitation, and in U.S. dollars, unless the provision at FAR 52.225-17, Evaluation of Foreign Currency Offers, is included in the solicitation.

(6) Offerors may submit modifications to their proposals at any time before the solicitation closing date and time, and may submit modifications in response to an amendment, or to correct a mistake at any time before award.

(7) Offerors may submit revised proposals only if requested or allowed by the Contracting Officer.

(8) Proposals may be withdrawn at any time before award. Withdrawals are effective upon receipt of notice by the Contracting Officer.

(d) Offer expiration date. Proposals in response to this solicitation will be valid for the number of days specified on the solicitation cover sheet (unless a different period is proposed by the offeror).

(e) Restriction on disclosure and use of data. Offerors that include in their proposals data that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, shall--

(1) Mark the title page with the following legend: This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed--in whole or in part--for any purpose other than to evaluate this proposal. If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of--or in connection with-- the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The data subject to this restriction are contained in sheets [insert numbers or other identification of sheets]; and

(2) Mark each sheet of data it wishes to restrict with the following legend: Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal.

(f) Contract award. (1) The Government intends to award a contract or contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal(s) represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors and subfactors in the solicitation.

(2) The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government's interest.

(3) The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals received.

(4) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 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.

(5) The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit cost or prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the proposal.

(6) The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards if, after considering the additional administrative costs, it is in the Government's best interest to do so.

(7) Exchanges with offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counteroffer by the Government.

(8) The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

(9) If a cost realism analysis is performed, cost realism may be considered by the source selection authority in evaluating performance or schedule risk.

(10) A written award or acceptance of proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified in the proposal shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

(11) If a post-award debriefing is given to requesting offerors, the Government shall disclose the following information, if applicable:

(i) The agency's evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed offeror's offer.

(ii) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful and the debriefed offeror and past performance information on the debriefed offeror.

(iii) The overall ranking of all offerors, when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

(iv) A summary of the rationale for award.

(v) For acquisitions of commercial items, the make and model of the item to be delivered by the successful offeror.

(vi) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed offeror as to whether source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed by the agency.

(End of provision)

(c) Evaluation of offers. (1) The Government will evaluate an offer requesting exception to the requirements of the Buy American statute, based on claimed unreasonable cost of domestic construction material, by adding to the offered price the appropriate percentage of the cost of such foreign construction material, as specified in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of the clause at FAR 52.225-9.

(2) If evaluation results in a tie between an offeror that requested the substitution of foreign construction material based on unreasonable cost and an offeror that did not request an exception, the Contracting Officer will award to the offeror that did not request an exception based on unreasonable cost.

(d) Alternate offers.

(1) When an offer includes foreign construction material not listed by the Government in this solicitation in paragraph (b)(2) of the clause at FAR 52.225-9, the offeror also may submit an alternate offer based on use of equivalent domestic construction material.

(2) If an alternate offer is submitted, the offeror shall submit a separate Standard Form 1442 for the alternate offer, and a separate price comparison table prepared in accordance with paragraphs (c) and (d) of the clause at FAR 52.225-9 for the offer that is based on the use of any foreign construction material for which the Government has not yet determined an exception applies.

(3) If the Government determines that a particular exception requested in accordance with paragraph (c) of the clause at FAR 52.225-9 does not apply, the Government will evaluate only those offers based on use of the equivalent domestic construction material, and the offeror shall be required to furnish such domestic construction material. An offer based on use of the foreign construction material for which an exception was requested--

Section 00 22 11 - Proposal Submission Requirements, Evaluation Criteria, Basis of Award

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIRE

Section 00 22 11

1. OVERVIEW

This is a Best Value Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) solicitation for the construction of an Access Control Point at the Defense Logistics Agency located in Richmond, VA.

2. BASIS OF AWARD

The Contracting Officer/Source Section Authority will award a firm fixed-price contract based on the best overall (i.e., best value) proposal that is determined to be technically acceptable to the Government in accordance with LPTA evaluation procedures and has the lowest evaluated price. To be considered technically acceptable and receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for Factor 1 - Specialized Experience and Factor 2 - Past Performance. The Government will not award a contract to an Offeror whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001. Factor 3 – Price will not be rated or scored, but will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness through use of a price analysis.

3. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

3.1 Proposal Evaluation: The proposal will be evaluated on an “Acceptable” / “Unacceptable” basis using the following evaluation factors:

3.1.1 Factor 1 - Specialized Experience: Each Offeror’s documented specialized experience will be reviewed to determine if the Offeror demonstrates recent and relevant specialized experience meeting or exceeding the minimum requirements and criteria set out in the solicitation.

3.1.2 Factor 2 - Past Performance: Each Offeror’s past performance will be reviewed to determine if the Offeror’s performance record supports a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

3.1.3 Factor 3 - Price: The resulting award will be a firm fixed-price contract. Price reasonableness will be utilized in the evaluation of the firm-fixed price effort.

3.2 Price Proposal Evaluation: The LPTA procedure is applied to known firm requirements, usually readily available in the commercial marketplace, where a fair and reasonable price determination is based on adequate competition. Therefore, price analysis will normally be used to determine the total evaluated price to support the selection of the lowest price, technically acceptable offeror. Although in exceptional cases when the determination of a fair and reasonable price requires additional information, the Contracting Officer may conduct a cost analysis to support the determination of whether the proposed price is fair and reasonable.

3.3 Source Selection Decision: The award will be made to the lowest price Offeror who submits a proposal that is otherwise “acceptable” when reviewed against all of the evaluation factors outlined in the RFP.

4.0 PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

4.1 Any legally organized Offeror who agrees to follow the conditions of the RFP may submit a proposal.

4.2 Do not submit any materials not required by this solicitation (such as company brochures, etc).

4.4 The Government is not liable for any costs incurred by the Offerors submitting an offer in response to this solicitation.

4.5 Offerors are cautioned that “parroting” of the requirements with a statement of intent to perform does not reflect an understanding of the requirement or capability to perform. Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of their proposal. Failure to provide sufficient detail may result in an unacceptable rating. Proposals received will be considered proprietary information and shall be clearly marked as such by the Offeror.

The cover of each volume shall be labeled with the project name, installation name, solicitation number, volume number, and the Offeror’s name. Submit one (1) original and four (4) copies of Volume 1 and submit one (1) original and one (1) copy of Volume 2. The original hardcopy of each volume shall be clearly marked “Original” and the original signatures shall be in blue ink. Copies of each volume shall be clearly marked as “COPY XX of XX”. In addition to the hard copy proposals, submit one

(1) electronic, non-editable, copy of each volume on a separate CD ROM labeled to match its respective hard copy volume.

4.6.3 The proposal shall be submitted in an 8-½ inch x 11 inch format (except that tables and graphic representations may be submitted on folded 11 inch x 17 inch pages). Pages may be single-sided or double-sided and shall be numbered. Text shall have a minimum twelve (12) point Arial or Times New Roman font. No proposal information may be included by reference.

Each Offeror is responsible for ensuring that the hardcopy is consistent with the electronic copy of the proposal. In the event of any conflict between the electronic and hard copy submissions, the hard copy submission will govern and will be the material upon which the Government will base its evaluation and ultimately, its decision.

b. Content Requirement. All information shall be confined to the appropriate volume. The Offeror shall confine submissions to essential matters, sufficient to define the proposal in a concise manner and to permit a complete and accurate evaluation.

6.0 EVALUATION APPROACH – VOLUME 1 – PERFORMANCE CAPABILITY

All proposals will be subject to evaluation by the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB).

6.1 The overarching evaluation approach for all factors is as follows:

6.1.1 Adequacy of Response. The Government will evaluate the proposal to determine if, based on the Offeror’s record of specialized experience and past performance, it has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

6.2 TAB B – FACTOR 1 – SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE

6.2.1 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

6.2.1.1 The Offeror and key subcontractor(s) (if being proposed) shall each demonstrate recent, relevant experience on similar projects, using the form provided in Attachment 2, entitled “Company Specialized Experience – Offeror or Key Subcontractor.” The Offeror is defined as the company or firm that is proposed to serve as the prime contractor under the contract. A key subcontractor is defined as any subcontractor that the Offeror plans to use to perform any of the key features of work identified in paragraphs 6.2.2.3.a thru 6.2.2.3.d below. If the Offeror plans to use a key subcontractor(s), then each key subcontractor(s) shall provide a Letter of Commitment on key subcontractor letterhead following the format provided in Attachment 3, entitled “Letter of Commitment of Key Subcontractor.”

6.2.1.2 If the Offeror is a joint venture, the proposal shall describe the role that each firm in the joint venture will play in executing the project. The demonstrated experience may come from any of the entities involved in the venture so long as they served as a prime contractor on the example project.

6.2.1.3 When proposing as a joint venture, all members of the joint venture shall sign the SF 1442 and the bid bond unless a written agreement by the joint venture is furnished with the proposal designating one firm with the authority to bind the other member(s) of the joint venture. In addition, a copy of the joint venture agreement shall be submitted with the proposal. Failure to comply with this requirement may eliminate the proposal from further consideration.

6.2.1.4 In the case of mentor/protégé relationships, the relationship must be established by the partners and approved by the Contracting Officer prior to proposal submission. Once the relationship has been approved, the demonstrated experience of the Offeror can come from any of the entities involved in the relationship. The approved mentor/protégé document from the Contracting Officer must be submitted along with the teaming agreement.

6.2.1.5 If after award, any key subcontractor(s) identified in the proposal is not able to fulfill this obligation, replacement key subcontractor(s) with equal or better skills and experience shall be presented for acceptance and approval by the Contracting Officer. Replacement key subcontractor(s) for this solicitation shall be required to have the qualifications and experience meeting or exceeding those identified in the proposal. The Offeror shall obtain the Contracting Officer’s written consent before making any substitution for these designated subcontractors.

6.2.1.6 If any firm included in the proposal, either as a joint venture partner, prime contractor, or key subcontractor(s) has multiple divisions, units, or functions, then the Government will consider only project examples performed by the division, unit, or function submitting the offer.

6.2.1.7 The Offeror and key subcontractor(s) (if being proposed) may submit no more than twelve (12) project examples to demonstrate the type/scope key features of work and complexity attributes identified in in the Evaluation Criteria.

6.2.1.8 The Government will consider submitted projects involving contracts with private concerns, local and state governments, or the federal government.

6.2.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

The Government will evaluate the example projects submitted by the Offeror and key subcontractor(s), if applicable, to determine if they demonstrate recent, relevant Specialized Experience as specified below:

6.2.2.1 Recent. For a submitted project to be considered “Recent” it shall be well underway; i.e., at least 80% construction progress complete, or has been completed within the ten (10) years preceding the date of this Solicitation. A project that does not meet the definition of “recent” will not be considered by the Government.

6.2.2.2 Relevant. The Offeror’s submitted projects will be considered “Relevant” if taken together they clearly demonstrate the requirements for “similar in type/scope” and “similar in complexity” defined below.

6.2.2.3 Type/Scope. Submitted projects must demonstrate “similar in type/scope” key features of work in accordance with the following criteria:

a. Roadway construction while maintaining two-way traffic flow through the construction site.

b. Active vehicle barriers (K-12 or M50 rated type) and associated safety and control system.

c. Passive vehicle barriers (K-4, K-8, K-12, M30, M40, or M50 rated type) with the project(s) having a crash-rated cable-based passive barrier system or a crash-rated fence barrier system.

d. Gatehouse or similar structure. Similar structure would include any structure that is built of the same general materials and methods of construction and is at least 800 sq-ft in size. Pre-manufactured structures do not meet this requirement.

The Offeror and key subcontractor(s) (if being proposed) each shall submit three (3) project examples for each key feature of work identified in paragraphs a. thru d. above. A single project may, but need not, demonstrate more than one key feature of work.

If the Offeror plans to self-perform any of the above key features of work, then the Offeror must demonstrate having self-performed this type of work on their example projects. If the Offeror does not plan to self-perform this work, then the Offeror’s key subcontractor(s) shall demonstrate this experience on their submitted projects.

Failure to submit three (3) project examples for each key feature of work identified in paragraphs a. thru d. above will result in a “Deficiency” rendering the proposal “Unacceptable” for Factor 1 and ineligible for award.

6.2.2.4 Complexity. Submitted projects must demonstrate “similar in complexity” attributes in accordance with the following criteria:

a. Construction within a constrained site.
