Please ensure that all courier and delivery personnel are aware of these procedures.

CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY, PREAWARD SURVEY:

In order to determine a contractor's responsibility for purposes of contract award in accordance with FAR Part 9, the contractor is required to provide a statement regarding previous experience and past performance in performing comparable work, information related to the business organization, financial resources, and/or plant to be used in performing the work (see Section 00 22 11, Preaward Survey). All offerors will complete and return the Preaward Survey as part of the Price/Cost proposal. Failure to submit the Preaward Survey in conjunction with the price proposal will not of itself render the offer unacceptable.

Determination of Contractor Responsibility will be completed in accordance with FAR 9.104-1:

W91238-16-R-00070004ONLY. SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION. SEE FAR 2.101 and 3.104 in accordance with FAR

SSP for W91238-16-R-0007

If the contractor or subcontractor does not already have sufficient resources demonstrated in the completed Preaward Survey, acceptable evidence of "the ability to obtain" the required, adequate resources (all of the resources discussed in FAR 9.104-1) normally consists of a commitment or explicit arrangement that will be in existence at the time of contract award to rent, purchase or otherwise acquire the needed facilities, equipment, other resources, or personnel.

The Preaward Survey as a tool used by the Government in determining responsibility of the offeror is submitted as part of the Price/Cost proposal and is separate from the technical proposal's response to the technical evaluation criteria found later in this section. Some of the information required from the offeror for completion of the Preaward Survey and the technical proposal may be duplicative but it is necessary that the information be provided in full in both places and that the Price/Cost proposal and the Technical proposal be separate documents. DO NOT state, for example, in the technical proposal, "See Price/Cost proposal for past performance information".

PROPOSAL BASIS OF AWARD

GENERAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND

INSTRUCTIONS, PHASE I INSTRUCTIONS AND

EVALUATIONS,

AND CONTRACT

AWARD

1. OVERVIEW.

a. This action is a "Best Value" solicitation for the Design-Build F-35A Hangar 40/42 Additions and AMU project at Hill AFB, UT. 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.

W91238-16-R-00070004ONLY. SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION. SEE FAR 2.101 and 3.104 in accordance with FAR

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, Past Performance, and Project Approach of the offeror. Approximately four 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 will be determined at the time of the phase-two solicitation. The phase-two technical volume requirements will be provided in the amendment to initiate phase-two. The Government will award to the best value contract after phase two.

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 tradeoff 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

W91238-16-R-00070004ONLY. SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION. SEE FAR 2.101 and 3.104 in accordance with FAR

SSP for W91238-16-R-0007 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)

(1) Factor 4: Technical Solution

(2) Factor 5: Performance Capability

c. The Source Selection Authority will consider both the phase one and phase two proposal evaluations 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.

Factor 4 – Technical Solution: both Factors 1 and 4 are of approximately equal importance.

Factor 5 – Performance Capability is approximately equal in importance to Factor 2.

W91238-16-R-00070004ONLY. SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION. SEE FAR 2.101 and 3.104 in accordance with FAR 3.104-4

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. In addition, mistakes and errors will also be considered during the technical evaluation. Failure to comply with the formatting and/or submission requirements, significant mistakes/errors, or more than a nominal number of mistakes/errors 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.

W91238-16-R-00070004ONLY. SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION. SEE FAR 2.101 and 3.104 in accordance with FAR 3.104-4

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.

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 li it ti iNot Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation

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

W91238-16-R-00070004ONLY. SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION. SEE FAR 2.101 and 3.104 in accordance with FAR 3.104-4

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 Confidenc e (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.

Each offeror must submit a phase-one proposal consisting of only a “technical” volume and each selected phase-two offeror must submit a phase-two proposal consisting of both a “price” volume and a “technical” volume. The price volume includes the signed offer and the offeror’s proposed prices. The technical volume includes all required information relating to the “non-price” 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 volume must be submitted as part of the price volume. All information intended by the offeror to be evaluated as part of the technical volume must be submitted as part of the technical volume. Do not merely cross-reference similar material between the technical and price volumes.

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 72 00 titled “Personnel, Subcontractors and Outside Associates or Consultants.” 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. 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 complete projects similar in size, complexity, and scope to that of the prospective contract, including Design-Build and Construction experience of similar aircraft maintenance hangars (Addition/Alteration and New Construction)

c. Offeror’s must submit example projects (either commercial or institutional) demonstrating the following capabilities:

(1) At least one project demonstrating the offeror’s capability as a prime contractor on a construction project of similar type and scope.

(2) At least one project demonstrating the capability of the lead firm that will be designing the project, on a construction project of similar type and scope.

(3) At least one project demonstrating the offeror’s design-build management capability as a prime contractor on a construction project of similar type and scope.

4.3.2.2. Prime Contractor/Key Subcontractor Example Projects Demonstrating Experience and Capability.

a. The offeror shall, if possible, submit “example projects” per paragraphs (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 under the resulting contract. The offeror must explain how the work performed by the proposed firm in the example project is relevant to this project. 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 those capabilities listed above at

4.3.2.1 c, 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
