SECTION 00 22 00 - SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS

The following have been modified:

SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS

SECTION 00 22 11

PROPOSAL BASIS OF AWARD,

GENERAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS,

INSTRUCTIONS AND EVALUATIONS,

AND CONTRACT AWARD

1. OVERVIEW.

This is a "Best Value, Trade-off " solicitation for the construction of the new FY13 Napa River Dry Bypass, Napa, California. The Contracting Officer will award a firm fixed-price contract to that responsible Offeror whom the Source Selection Authority determined conforms to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government, considering all non-price factors described herein, and price.

2. BASIS OF AWARD.

2.1. ELIGIBILITY FOR CONTRACT AWARD

In accordance with the requirements of Part 9 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), no contract shall be entered into unless the contracting officer ensures that all requirements of law, executive orders, regulations, and all other applicable procedures, including clearances and approvals, have been met. This includes the FAR requirement that no award shall be made unless the contracting officer makes an affirmative determination of responsibility. To be determined responsible, a prospective contractor must meet the general standards in FAR Part 9 and any special standards set forth in the solicitation.

2.2. SOURCE SELECTION USING THE TRADE-OFF PROCESS

The Government will select the offer that represents the best value to the Government by using the trade-off process described in FAR Part 15. This process permits tradeoffs between price and technical (“noncost”) factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced offer. The award decision will be based on a comparative analysis and an integrated assessment of proposals against all source selection criteria in the solicitation.

2.3. RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF PRICE TO THE TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTORS

All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are significantly more important than price. The Government is concerned with striking the most advantageous balance between technical merit (“quality”) and cost to the Government (i.e., the price). The degree of importance of price could become greater depending upon the equality of the technical proposals. If competing technical proposals are determined to be essentially equal, price could become the controlling factor.

2.4. EVALUATION OF THE PRICE PROPOSAL

a. Price to the Government will be evaluated and considered but will not be scored or combined with other aspects of the proposal evaluation. The proposed price will be analyzed for reasonableness. It may also be analyzed to determine whether it reflects a clear understanding of the requirements; and is consistent with the offeror’s Technical Proposal. Additionally, all offers will be analyzed for unbalanced pricing.

b. When applicable, the Price Evaluation Preference for HUBZone Small Business Concerns will be applied. The Price Evaluation Adjustment for Small Disadvantaged Businesses will not apply to this procurement as it is currently suspended for Department of Defense..

c. Information required to be submitted in the Price Proposal volume in addition to the executed SF 1442 with acknowledgement of amendments and the completed pricing schedule will be used to determine the offeror’s eligibility for contract award in accordance with paragraph 2.1 above (for example, the offeror’s representations and certifications; the bid guarantee; and the offeror’s pre-award survey information). The Government may enter into exchanges with offerors about such information without it constituting discussions, subject to applicable FAR limitations, including FAR 15.306, Exchanges with offerors after receipt of proposals; FAR 28.101-4, Noncompliance with bid guarantee requirements.

2.5. THE TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTORS

a. The Government will evaluate each offeror’s technical proposal based on how well the proposal addresses each of the evaluation factors, listed below and further described in the submission requirements in Section 00 22 11 and how well the offeror has performed on related projects through the evaluation of the past performance information provided from references or obtained from other sources. Each of the evaluation factors will be evaluated by the Government and an adjectival rating and risk rating will be determined by consensus of the Government evaluation board for all technical factors other than past performance. The Past Performance factor will be evaluated by the Government and a relevancy and confidence level will be determined by consensus of the Government evaluation board.

b. The evaluation factors correlate directly to the main organizational tabs identified in the proposal submission instructions in Sections 00 22 11. However, any information contained in the technical proposal can nonetheless be considered by the Government in its evaluation under any factor.

Factor 1: Organization and Technical Approach Factor 2: Experience and Capability Factor 3: Past Performance

Factor 4: Key Personnel

2.6 RELATIVE WEIGHTING OF THE TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTORS

The Technical Evaluation Factors are listed below in descending order of importance, as follows:

Factor 1 – Organization and Technical Approach is the most heavily weighted factor.

Factor 2 – Experience and Capability is weighted less than Factor 1.

Factor 3 – Past Performance is weighted less than Factor 2.

Factor 4 – Key Personnel is weighted equal to Factor 2.

2.7 GENERAL TECHNICAL EVALUATION CRITERIA

a. The offeror’s conformance with the specified format and submission requirements will be considered during the technical evaluation. Failure to comply with the formatting and/or submission requirements may be seen as indicative of the type of problems that could be expected during contract performance. Lack of conformance could therefore result in a higher risk assessment, in addition to any other impacts on the evaluation. Material omission(s) may cause the technical proposal to be rejected as unacceptable. However, in accordance with FAR 52.215-1, the Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals. For example, a failure by a proposed key subcontractor to submit a properly executed letter of commitment may be considered as increasing risk, but will not be considered a proposal deficiency.

b. Technical proposals which do not provide the specified information in the specified location in accordance with the submission instructions may be downgraded. The Government is under no obligation to search for information that is not in the specified location.

c. Proposals which are generic, vague, or lacking in detail may be downgraded. The proposal submission instructions are written to give prospective contractors, where feasible, an indication of the level of detail desired by the Government. The offeror’s failure to include information that the Government has indicated should be included may result in the proposal being downgraded and/or being found deficient if inadequate detail is provided.

d. Any prescribed page and formatting limitations will be strictly adhered to and enforced by the Government. The Government will not evaluate any excess information resulting from the offeror’s failure to comply with the submission instructions. Examples: If an offeror were to submit three pages in response to an item with a two page limitation, the information on the first two pages would be evaluated but the information on the third page would not be evaluated. If an offeror were to submit a fold-out sheet (e.g. 11”x17”) in response to a one-page limitation where fold-out sheets were not authorized, only the information that could reasonably have been submitted on one 8-1/2 x 11 inch sheet would be evaluated. If an offeror were to submit three 8-1/2 x 11 inch pages in response to a one not-to-exceed 11 x 17 inch page limitation, only the information that could reasonably have been submitted on one 11 x 17 inch sheet would be evaluated. If an offeror submitted alternates that were not requested (e.g. key subcontractor), the information will not be evaluated.

e. The degree of risk to the Government inherent in the offeror’s technical proposal will be a consideration under every evaluation factor, with the exception of past performance, which will be evaluated as Past Performance Confidence Assessment.

f. A “deficiency” is a material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. “Weakness” means a flaw in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. A “significant weakness” is a proposal flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

The Government cannot accept an offer with a deficiency in its technical proposal. The term “acceptable” is therefore used in this context to describe a technical proposal that does not contain a deficiency and thus could be accepted by the Government, notwithstanding any weaknesses or significant weaknesses in the proposal.

g. The Government cannot make award based on a deficient offer. Therefore, a rating of “Unacceptable” under any factor will render the offer ineligible for award, unless the Government elects to enter into discussions with that offeror and all deficiencies are remedied in a revised proposal.

h. Failure of a proposed key subcontractor to furnish authorization for the Government to discuss its past performance with the offeror will not be considered a proposal deficiency. However, the Government will not be able to disclose to the offeror any details pertaining to their performance problems that may impact the overall performance rating.

i. Past Performance Evaluation. The past performance evaluation results in an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements The past performance evaluation considers each offeror's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the contract’s requirements. One performance confidence assessment rating is assigned for each offeror after evaluating the offeror's recent past performance, focusing on performance that is relevant to the contract requirements.

There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation. The first is to evaluate the offeror’s past performance to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the offeror is to the effort to be acquired through the source selection. The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the contractor performed on the contracts. The Government will review this past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance confidence assessment.

1. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

RATING DESCRIPTION

Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

2. Past Performance Confidence Assessments - In conducting a performance confidence assessment, each offeror shall be assigned one of the ratings in the table below:

Substantial Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral)

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

j. Technical/Risk Rating for other than past performance.

Outstanding Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses.

Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

Good Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses.

Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Acceptable

Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance.

Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal

Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths.

Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies.

Proposal is Unawardable.

3 GENERAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPOSAL.

3.1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.

3.1.1 Media, Page Size, Margins, Fonts, and Page Limitations.

Submit only the hard-copy paper documents and electronic files specifically authorized elsewhere in this section.

Do not submit excess information, to include audio-visual materials, electronic media, etc. Do not include links to information on websites in lieu of incorporating the information physically into the proposal. Except where another size is specifically authorized for a specific submission, use only 8 1/2” x 11” paper. Use at least 1 inch margins, which may include headers and footers. Do not justify the right margin. Ensure that all text and graphics are clearly legible. Do not use a font size smaller than 10, unusual font styles such as script, or condensed fonts. For submissions with page limitations, the pages will be counted as follows: One side of the paper is one page;

information on both the back and front of one sheet of paper will be counted as two pages. Where authorized, a foldout sheet will count as one page. Pages furnished for organizational purposes only, such as a “Table of Contents” or divider tabs, are excluded from page limitations.

3.1.2 Proposal Binding.

The preferred method for assembling proposals is a method that enables the rapid insertion or deletion of pages such as three ring binders. Ensure recommended capacity is not exceeded and that pages turn freely. Do not use spring clamps, spiral binding systems, or heat binding systems.

3.1.3 Conditioning of Offer.

Do not include exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the technical or price proposal volumes. Inclusion of any standard company terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in a determination that the offer is unacceptable and thus ineligible for award. Resolve questions about the terms and conditions or technical requirements of the solicitation prior to submission of the offer; see “Inquiries”, located in Section 00 21 16, for points of contact. Notwithstanding the above, the offeror must clearly describe in the proposal cover sheet submitted with the price volume any exceptions, within the offer, to the contractual and/or technical terms and conditions of the solicitation.

3.1.4 Restrictions on Offeror-Provided Information.

“Confidential” projects cannot be submitted to demonstrate capability unless all of the information required for evaluation as specified herein can nonetheless be provided to the Government as part of the offeror’s technical proposal. Offerors that include in their proposals information that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, must clearly mark the information in accordance with FAR 52.215-1, “Instructions to Offeror – Competitive Acquisition”, paragraph (e), “Restriction on disclosure and use of data”. Files shall not contain classified data.

3.2 REQUIREMENT FOR SEPARATE PRICE AND TECHNICAL PROPOSAL VOLUMES.

Each offeror must submit both a “price proposal” volume and a “technical proposal” volume. The price proposal includes the signed offer and the offeror’s proposed prices, as well as other “pro forma” requirements. The technical proposal includes all required information relating to the “non-cost” evaluation factors. The two volumes must be submitted as separate, physically distinct volumes. Both volumes must be received at the location shown in Block 8 of Standard Form 1442, not later than the date and time specified in Block 13 of Standard Form 1442. The information in the two volumes is evaluated separately and independently. Therefore, all information intended by the offeror to be evaluated as part of the price proposal must be submitted as part of the price proposal. All information intended by the offeror to be evaluated as part of the technical proposal must be submitted as part of the technical proposal. Do not merely cross-reference similar material between the technical and price proposals.

Information in the price proposal will not be considered in the technical evaluation, and vice versa.

3.2.1 Marking of Proposal Volumes.

Mark each volume as either the “Price Proposal” or the “Technical Proposal”. Additionally, mark the outside front cover of each volume with the project title and location, solicitation number, name and address of the offeror, and volume copy number. (Markings which identify the offeror are not required on either the back cover or on the spine/binding.)

3.2.2 Tabbing of Proposal Volumes.

Offers are to be formatted and tabbed in accordance with the instructions that follow for each proposal volume.

3.2.3 Table of Contents.

Include a table of contents for each proposal volume.

4 PRICE PROPOSAL VOLUME.

4.1 NUMBER OF SETS OF THE PRICE PROPOSAL.

Submit the original (no copies) of the price proposal volume.

4.2 FORMAT, CONTENTS, AND LIST OF TABS FOR THE PRICE PROPOSAL.

Use only 8-1/2” x 11” pages. There are no page limits for the price proposal; however, limit responses to required information. Excess information will not be evaluated. Organize your price proposal as indicated below. If a tab is not applicable to your proposal, omit that tab but do not renumber the subsequent tabs.

The Standard Form (SF) 1442 must be completed by the offeror and duly executed with an original signature by the official(s) identified in the proposal cover sheet as authorized to bind the offeror in accordance with FAR 4.102, which includes specific instructions pertaining to individuals, partnerships, corporations, Joint Venture participants, and agents. Include the offeror’s DUNS number in block 14 of the SF 1442, along with the offeror’s address. All amendments must be acknowledged in accordance with the instructions on the Standard Form 30, Amendment. If the offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), include a copy of the JV agreement and indicate its status. (Note: It is preferred, but not required, that you use a document protector in lieu of punching holes in the original SF 1442.)

Tab 3 of the Price Proposal: Pricing Schedule.

Submit the completed Pricing Schedule (Section 00 10 00) with the offeror’s proposed contract prices inserted in the appropriate spaces. Prices must be proposed for all contract line items. Unit prices must be extended to the actual “dollar and cents” amounts (i.e., to two decimal places). Do not round off the extended prices to the nearest dollar.

Check your pricing submission very carefully for mathematical and clerical errors prior to submission. Any qualification of pricing may render the proposal unacceptable and therefore not eligible for award. (Note: It is preferred, but not required, that you use a document protector in lieu of punching holes in the completed “original” pricing schedule.)

Tab 4 of the Price Proposal: Work Breakdown Structure.

Submit a Work Breakdown Structure of the offeror’s proposed Base and Option contract prices using the format below, in accordance with Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 3-740-05

01 EARTHWORK

02 CONCRETE WORK

03 LANDSCAPING WORK

04 IN-CHANNEL WATER WORK

Tab 5 of the Price Proposal: Representations, Certifications, and Other Statements of Offerors.

The offeror must have electronically completed the annual representations and certifications in accordance with FAR 52.204-8 (provided in full text in Section 00 45 00). The offeror is responsible for ensuring that these on-line Representations and Certifications are updated as necessary to reflect changes, but at least annually to ensure that they are kept current, accurate and complete. Additionally, the offeror must also complete and return the “Representations and Certifications” in Section 00 45 00 of the solicitation. If the offeror is a Joint Venture, all participants must separately complete both annual representations and certifications and Section 00 45 00.

Tab 6 of the Price Proposal: Bid Guarantee.

All offerors must submit a bid guarantee, (e.g., Standard Form 24, Bid Bond) which complies with the requirements of FAR 28.101 Bid Guarantees, and any Defense and Army supplements thereto.

Tab 7 of the Price Proposal: Pre-Award Survey Information.

a. The contracting officer is required to make an affirmative pre-award determination of the prospective contractor’s responsibility in accordance with the mandatory requirements of Part 9 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and its supplements. The contracting officer must have sufficient information available to determine that a prospective contractor meets these minimum standards. Therefore, the offeror is requested to provide the pre-award survey information described below with its price proposal:

(1) The completed Construction Contractor Data Form with Supplemental Schedules A-C (see format which follows). If the offeror is a large multi-segmented business concerns, the data provided on the supplemental schedules may be limited to information that directly pertains to the specific segment of the business concern (i.e., the division, group, unit, etc.) proposed to perform work under the prospective contract with its own work force. If the offer is being submitted by a Joint Venture, submit a separate form for each Joint Venture participant. The offeror may submit pre-award survey information in another format, provided that the information furnished is substantially the same as that which would be furnished on the Construction Contractor Data Form and its supplemental schedules.

(2) Current financial statements. If the financial statement is more than 60 days old, submit a certificate stating that the firm's financial condition is substantially the same, or, if not the same, state the changes that have taken place. If a Joint Venture, provide this information for each participant in the Joint Venture.

(3) Banking information. Provide letters from banks or other financial institutions with which the contractor conducts business. The letters should contain information about your firm's accounts, loans, lines of credit, etc. The Government is interested in financial stability, timely payments, the length and nature of the relationship between the firm and the financial institution, and the firm's financial ability to perform the contract. The letters should also provide the name and telephone number of the bank representative the Government may contact. If a Joint Venture, provide this information for each Joint Venture participant.

b. The Government will treat the pre-award survey information submitted by the offeror as proprietary.

5.1 NUMBER OF SETS OF THE TECHNICAL PROPOSAL VOLUME.

The Technical Proposal is to be submitted in one hard “original” and six (6) copies. In addition, submit one complete copy of the technical proposal on Compact Disk (CD) using a searchable and bookmarked “pdf” file format and an electronic file (e.g., “.prx”) of the P3 Network Analysis System (NAS) schedule

5.2 FORMAT, CONTENTS, AND LIST OF TABS FOR THE TECHNICAL VOLUME.

Use 8-1/2” x 11” pages for the narrative portions of the proposal. There is not a page limit for the overall technical proposal; however, there may be limits imposed at the tab level.

5.3 DETAILED SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR THE

TECHNICAL PROPOSAL.

a. The Offeror is required to propose a specific project team including key subcontractors for evaluation in response to this Request for Proposals. For purposes of this procurement, the terms “key subcontractors” are used to refer only to the prospective subcontractors whose qualifications, experience, and past performance will be evaluated by the Government as part of the source selection process. For reasons of efficiency, not all of the subcontractors critical to successful post-award contract performance have been included in this group. In order to streamline the proposal submission and evaluation process, please limit your submission to the information specifically requested.

Information pertaining to other subcontractors not designated as “key” by the Government will be considered excess and may not be evaluated.

b. For the purposes of this procurement, a key subcontractor is defined as any subcontractor performing “key” major work elements for which capability information is required to be submitted for evaluation as part of the Offeror’s technical proposal. The Government has designated the following major work elements as “key”:

--Earthwork --Concrete Work --Landscaping Work --In-Channel Work

c. Any changes to key subcontractors in your Phase 2 proposal from your Phase 1 proposal will not be allowed.

d. The Offeror’s attention is directed to the clause in Section 00 73 00 titled “Key Personnel and Subcontractors”.

In accordance with this clause, any post-award changes to the key personnel and/or key subcontractors in the accepted proposal will require contracting officer approval.

e. Preface – Prime Contractor/Key Subcontractor Introduction

(1). Provide a brief introduction narrative. Identify and provide the name, DUNS number, address, POC e-mail address, and a brief description of the role and authority of each firm that will be involved in performance of this contract at the prime contractor and key subcontractor level. If the proposed prime contractor is a Joint Venture or teaming arrangement (i.e. mentor protégé), describe the relationship, role, and authority (to include management authority) of each firm. (Note: If a proposed firm has branch offices, provide information for each individual branch office that will perform work under the contract with its own workforce.) List the major work elements to be self-performed by the offeror’s in-house work force, the major work elements to be performed by each key subcontractor, and any other major work to be subcontracted to other contractors. The submission is limited to two

(2) 8-1/2”x11” pages for narrative.

Tab 1 of the Technical Proposal: Factor 1 – Organization and Technical Approach.

1. NAS Project Schedule.

a. Provide a hard copy of the NAS Project Schedule or GANTT chart (not a Pert Chart), broken down to the “Feature of Work” level, that graphically illustrates the proposed integration, scheduling, and phasing of the major features on the critical and near-critical path for this project, including final close-out. Also include an electronic file (e.g., “prx” of the NAS Schedule (Primavera P3 or better is preferred)) on the CD containing the technical proposal.

b. The schedule is to include activities on the near critical and critical paths. The Government is also interested in activities such as:

-Notice to Proceed (NTP) -Contractor Punch-out Inspection items -Pre-final Inspection -Correction of pre-final inspection items -Final Inspection -Turn Over Project

c. Clearly indicate the following time frames:

(1) The durations of the principle components of work with anticipated start and finish dates. For the purpose of this pre-award construction sequence plan only, assume a NTP date of 25 October, 2013. Also include consideration of any option items on the chart that are on the critical or near-critical path. Assume for the purposes of this submission that the Government will exercise any options in the timeframe specified in the solicitation (see Pricing Schedule Notes).

(2) The total number of calendar days allocated to construction (“Hammock activities”)

(3) The total number of calendar days from NTP to Project Complete (“Hammock activities”)

d. The milestone schedule cannot exceed the contract performance period specified on the SF 1442 and must also be in compliance with any contractually required interim completion dates specified in the solicitation for separate parts or stages of the work. (Should the offeror discover during proposal preparation that the project cannot be completed within the required contract performance period, please notify the Contracting Officer immediately.)

e. The Government’s requirement is that all design and construction on this project be completed within the number of days after Notice to Proceed as stated on the SF 1442, inclusive of all review periods and Government phasing requirements specified. The offeror may propose a completion period of lesser duration, subject to the following conditions:

(1) If an offer is accepted which proposed a shorter performance period than that required by the Government that proposed shortened performance period will be incorporated into and will become a binding part of the resultant contract. Additionally, any assessment of liquidated damages will be based on the shortened performance period accepted by the Government.

(2) A compliance statement completed by the offeror and duly executed with an original signature by an official authorized to bind the company must be included in the technical proposal under this tab. Failure to include this signed statement may render an offer which proposes a completion period of lesser duration ineligible for contract award.

f. As the NAS project schedule that is required to be included as part of the Technical Approach is a preliminary schedule for pre-award evaluation purposes only; however, the schedule period of performance will be the period of performance in the contract and the logic and sequence proposed will remain unchanged. The successful offeror will be required to submit a schedule after contract award that fully complies with their proposed schedule and all of the requirements of Section 01 32 00, whether or not all pre-award discrepancies were noted or corrected during negotiations.

(1) The offeror may propose a completion period of lesser duration, SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING

CONDITIONS:

(1) If an offer is accepted which proposed a shorter performance period than that required by the Government, the proposed shortened performance period will be incorporated into and will become a binding part of the resultant contract. Additionally, any assessment of liquidated damages will be based on the shortened performance period accepted by the Government.

(2) A compliance statement completed by the offeror and duly executed with an original signature by an official authorized to bind the company must be included in the technical proposal under this tab. Failure to include this signed statement may render an offer which proposes a completion period of lesser duration ineligible for contract award.

g. Formatting and Other Restrictions.

(1). Include both a hard copy NAS Project Schedule in each copy of the technical proposal and an electronic file “.prx” of the NAS Project Schedule (Primavera P3 preferred) on the CD containing the technical proposal.

(2). There is not a page limitation for this submission; however, pages must not exceed 11” x 17” in size. Ensure the font size is legible so each activity and its duration can be read.

(3). Number line items on the NAS Project Schedule for easy reference.

(4) If the offeror is proposing a shortened performance period, the technical proposal must also include the offeror’s statement of compliance with 10 U.S.C. 2858 using the following format:

OFFEROR’S STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH 10 U.S.C. 2858

[Insert name of the offeror] hereby proposes that the period of performance for all construction is _____ calendar days from Notice to Proceed, inclusive of Government review periods and Government phasing requirements specified.

[Insert name of the offeror] hereby states that the offer of this performance period is at no additional cost to the Government over the performance period specified on the SF 1442. Specifically, the shortened performance period will not be achieved by the use of overtime, multiple shifts, or additional personnel nor does it include expedited materials handling/shipping costs.

I understand that making a false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement may subject me to prosecution under Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001.

SIGNATURE OF COMPANY OFFICIAL

(End of Compliance Statement)

(2). The above compliance statement must be completed by the offeror and duly executed with an original signature by an official authorized to bind the company.

h. Evaluation Criteria.

(1) The Government will evaluate the technical approach to determine the extent to which it demonstrates (1) the Offeror’s understanding of the unique requirements and challenges of this project and (2) the Offeror’s ability to schedule and integrate the major work elements, construction and close-out activities critical to meeting the contract performance schedule specified in the solicitation. As part of its evaluation, the Government may consider whether the Offeror’s approach to the scheduling/phasing of these major activities appears achievable based on the experience and judgement of the evaluation board. The Government may also consider whether the Offeror’s approach to scheduling/phasing of major activities reflects logical sequencing and progression of activities;

inclusion of all of the major work elements stated in paragraph 5.3b; milestones along the critical path, incorporation of time for Government activities such as submittal review; and appropriate consideration of recognizable constraints, including material and equipment lead times and the impacts on construction activities of adverse weather typical for the construction site.

(2) Proposed schedule and approach that clearly reflect an understanding of the complexity of this project will be evaluated more favorably. Schedule and approach demonstrating professionalism and thoroughness will be evaluated more favorably. In addition, proposed schedules that reasonably demonstrate the ability to reduce the completion period from initial notice to proceed through completion of construction of all options will be evaluated more favorably, but only when there is no additional cost to the government for the reduced period of performance.

Preparation of the NAS schedule using Primavera (P3) and the Corps’ SDEF format in accordance with Appendix A to ER 1-1-11 will be considered an advantage. Preparation of the NAS schedule by the proposed project scheduler will also be considered an advantage, but will not receive additional monetary consideration for a more condensed schedule.

(3) Offerors may receive an enhanced technical rating for proposing a schedule which offers early project completion and turnover, provided that (i) the period of time by which the schedule has been shortened is meaningful; and (ii) the shortened schedule appears reasonable, realistic, and achievable without the use of overtime, multiple shifts, additional personnel or expedited materials handling/shipping costs.

If the offeror proposed a shorter schedule and failed to complete the statement that the offer included no additional costs attributable to the shortened schedule, the Government may determine that the offer is ineligible for award.

The Government is under no obligation to open discussions with the offeror pertaining to the shortened schedule;

nor is the Government obligated to request or obtain Secretarial level approval to expedite the contract completion date.

If an offer is accepted which proposed a shorter schedule than that required by the Government, that proposed schedule will be incorporated into and become a binding part of the resultant contract. Additionally, any assessment of liquidated damages would be based on the shortened schedule accepted by the Government.

2. Project Organization Chart.

a. Provide an organizational chart that, at a minimum, graphically depicts the offeror’s proposed project team, to include “key” and non-key major work elements and identification of:

-- the prime contractor;

-- all key subcontractors by name; and

-- all key personnel

b. Additionally, indicate the organizational placement of the prime contractor’s Contractor Quality Control (CQC) System Manager. (Note: Identification of the CQC System Manager by name is not required.) IMPORTANT NOTE: Your attention is specifically directed to the information in Section 01 33 00 pertaining to the specific organizational placement and reporting requirements that pertain to the CQC System Manager.

c. Indicate lines of authority using a separate depiction (either color, solid, etc. lines).

d. Provide legend.

e. Formatting and Other Restrictions.

This submission is limited to one (1) page NTE 11” x 17” in size.

f. Evaluation Criteria.

This factor is evaluated to see whether the proposed lines of authority, responsibility, and communications are appropriate and well-defined; all key subcontractors and key personnel are identified. The more detailed, logical, and complete this section is, this section may be evaluated to receive a higher rating.

3. Management Plan.

a. Provide a comprehensive Management Plan specifically developed for implementation of this project. Discuss the management approach used to control construction, and project closeout. Provide information that clearly demonstrates that the offeror has the ability to deliver a quality product; effectively manage the consultants and subcontractors on the team; and the ability to coordinate all work throughout the construction phase. Explanation to include: specific quality control procedures used; permit acquisition in a timely fashion; safety; preparation and submission of record (i.e. as-built) documents.

b. Provide a discussion on how other projects the offeror is, or may be performing, might impact on the resources to be utilized on this project (including the availability of key personnel), and address how the adverse impacts of such other work would be mitigated.

c. Formatting and Other Restrictions.

The submission may include narrative and/or graphics and is limited to five (5) 8-1/2” x 11” pages. Although a standard format is not specified, the information should be presented in essentially the same order as discussed above.
