INSTRUCTIONS, PHASE I INSTRUCTIONS AND
EVALUATIONS,
AND CONTRACT
AWARD
1. OVERVIEW.
a. This action is a "Best Value" solicitation for a design build general construction multiple award task order contract (MATOC) at Defense Distribution Depot San Joaquin (DDJC) Tracy, California, but can be used throughout the USACE South Pacific Division. The Contracting Officer will award to those responsible offerors whom the Source Selection Authority determines offers the best overall value to the Government, considering all non-price factors described herein, and price of the task order project. The task order project requirements will be provided in the amendment to initiate phase two.
b. This solicitation utilizes a two-phase source selection process requiring two separate proposal submittals, a phase-one (non-price technical volume) proposal and a phase-two (price and technical volumes) proposal. Phase- one will consist of an evaluation of only non-price factors which include Experience and Capability, Technical Approach, and Past Performance of the offeror. Approximately eight of the most highly qualified offerors in phase-one will be given the opportunity to submit a proposal under phase-two. Phase-two will consist of an evaluation of price and a non-price factors which may include a Technical Solution and Management Approach. The phase- two technical volume requirements will be provided in the amendment to initiate phase two. Approximately four of the most highly qualified offerors in phase-two will be awarded as a result of this solicitation. A combined total of all contracts awarded under this solicitation shall not exceed $46 million at any one time.
c. The Government neither intends to conduct discussions during phase-one, nor request revised phase-one proposals. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct phase-one discussions, if it deems such to be in its best interest in accordance with FAR 15.306.
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 (“non-price”) 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 non-price evaluation factors, when combined, will be greater 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). 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. 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).
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 on 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.
Phase-One Proposal. (Section 00 22 10)
(1) Factor 1: Experience and Capability
(2) Factor 2: Technical Approach
(3) Factor 3: Past Performance
Phase-Two Proposal. (Section 00 22 20) to be included with the amendment initiating phase two.
c. The Source Selection Authority will consider both phase one and phase two proposal evaluation with their relative strengths and weaknesses in determining the best value to the Government.
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 – Experience and Capability is the most heavily weighted factor.
Factor 2 – Technical Approach is weighted less than Factor 1.
Factor 3 – Past Performance is weighted less than Factor 2.
Phase-two factors and their level of importance will be incorporated into the amendment to initiate phase-two.
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 may 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. Responses that are essentially blanket offers of compliance are not adequate substitutes for the detailed and complete technical information necessary to establish that an offeror can meet US Government needs. 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.
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 their overall rating.
i. Technical/Risk Rating for other than past performance.
RATING DESCRIPTION
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.
j. 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
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.
3. GENERAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR A TWO-PHASE DESIGN-
BUILD 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.

PROPOSAL.
4.3.1 Preface – Prime Contractor/Key Subcontractor Introduction
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”:
-- Architect-Engineer Design Firm
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 “Personnel, Subcontractors and Outside Associates”. 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. Provide a brief introduction narrative. Identify and provide the name, DUNS number, address, point of contact 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, 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.
f. The Government will not evaluate the Preface - Prime Contractor/Key Subcontractor Introduction. The purpose of this narrative is to provide a brief introduction for information purposes; however, if applicable, the government reserves the right to consider it throughout the evaluation of the other factors.
4.3.2 Tab 1 of the Technical Volume: Factor 1 – Experience and Capability.
4.3.2.1 Potential future projects under the MATOC.
a. The purpose of this contract is to provide a streamlined contract vehicle to primarily support the installations Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization needs. The primary North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) code is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction with a size standard of $36.5 million. The IDIQ's primary NAICS code applies to the principle regional requirements and it determines the size standard for the entire MATOC contract and subsequent orders. In addition, these MATOC IDIQs will also allow the use of secondary NAICS for both specialized trades, 238XXX and heavy and civil engineering construction, 237XXX.
Therefore, typical efforts vary in a wide range of potential requirements, to include, those descriptions listed under NAICS 236220, 237XXX, and 238XXX. Typical task orders will be between $300,000 and $2,000,000.
b. The potential project types, to be issued under the resulting contract as individual task orders include, but are not limited to: design build and/or design bid build general construction services including designing and renovation of existing structures, repairing existing structures, new structural design and construction, flooring repairs, HVAC repairs and replacements, electrical upgrades, fire suppression systems, concrete, and demolition work.
4.3.2.2. General
a. The resumes and example projects will provide the primary basis for the Government’s evaluation of the offeror’s experience and capability.
b. The Government is interested in selecting a contractor with the ability to demonstrate a wide variety of experience and capability to reduce performance risk associated with successful completion of any requirement within the NAICS identified in paragraph 4.3.2.1(a), above. Paragraph 4.3.2.1(b) emphasizes the scopes that we anticipate based on known customer requirements.
4.3.2.3. Prime Contractor/Key Subcontractor Example Projects Demonstrating Experience and Capability.
a. The offeror should if possible submit “example projects” per (1) and (2) below, that demonstrate the prime’s and/or key subcontractor’s wide experience and capability meeting the Evaluation Criteria to successfully perform within this MATOC. If the proposed work is demonstrating relevancy to the potential project types in 4.3.2.1(a) or 4.3.2.1(b), the offeror should explain how the work performed by the proposed firm in the example project is relevant to what experiences and capabilities. Example projects can demonstrate multiple experiences and capabilities. However, if an example project is being used for multiple experiences and capabilities, ensure sufficient information is provided to demonstrate those applicable experiences and capabilities. Each example project submitted does not need to demonstrate multiple experiences and capabilities; however, all the example projects should collectively demonstrate wide experience and capability. Submit:
(1) Three (3) but no more than five (5) example projects demonstrating the offeror’s recent/relevant design-build experience and/or capability on design-build and/or construction projects; and
(2) Three (3) but no more than five (5) example projects demonstrating the experience and capability of the Architect- Engineer design firm’s recent/relevant design and/or design-build experience and capability; and
(2) The offeror may submit more than one Architect/Engineer design firm demonstrating the experience and capability of the Architect-Engineer design firm’s recent/relevant design and/or design-build experience and capability; however, the example projects will be limited to three no more than five for all of those proposed and
b. Do not submit construction projects that are not substantially complete. (For this purpose, “substantially complete” means that only punch list items remain for project acceptance or that the majority of the elements of the project have been turned over to the customer for beneficial occupancy.) If a design-build project is being used by an A-E to demonstrate their design capability, the design portion of the contract must be complete in order for it to be considered.
c. Provide a Summary Matrix that indicates which submitted example project(s) demonstrates which experience and/or capability. The example provided is not mandatory, develop and provide your own matrix that best explains your proposal.
