SPECIAL INSTRUCTION PERTAINING TO HAND-CARRIED OFFERS:

Hand-carried offers must be delivered to: The Building Lobby at 1325 J Street, Sacramento, CA.

Due to security precautions, offerors may no longer hand-carry their offers directly to Contracting Division. Offers may NOT be turned-in at the Security Desk or left unattended elsewhere in the Lobby. Additionally, you are advised that there is no public parking in the Building.

The contract specialist will be in the Building Lobby 20 minutes prior to the closing time to accept hand-carried offers.

Offerors who desire to hand-deliver their offers at an earlier time must coordinate with the contract specialist in advance in order to arrange to be met in the Building Lobby by Contracting Division personnel.

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 00 Attachments, 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.

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. It is well established that Subcontracting is an acceptable means of obtaining resources.

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".

a. The internet URL for Corps of Engineers publications is:

http://www.publications.usace.army.mil/

b. Construction Criteria Base (CCB). The Construction Criteria Base (CCB) system available through the National Institute of Building Sciences includes copies of Corps of Engineers methods and specifications. Information about the CCB can be obtained from:

http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/ccb.php

FACSIMILE BIDS/OFFERS:

Facsimile bids/offers, modifications thereto, or cancellations of bids/offers will not be accepted.

ACCEPTANCE OF OFFERS:

A written award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

System for Award Management (SAM) Registration:

It is a requirement that any and all contractors that intend to do business with the government must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database. No contract may be awarded by the government to any contractor who is not registered in SAM. If your company is not registered in SAM, you must register in order to be eligible for any government award.

SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS

SOLICITATION SECTIONS PERTAINING TO OFFEROR’S SUBMISSION AND EVALUATION

PROPOSAL BASIS OF AWARD

GENERAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS, EVALUATIONS,

AND CONTRACT AWARD

1. OVERVIEW.

Proposals received in response to this solicitation for the B829 Re-Stucco & Mold Mitigation project at Presidio of Monterey (POM), Monterey, CA will be evaluated on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis. The Contracting Officer will award to the responsible offeror that represents the lowest-price, technically-acceptable proposal, considering all non-price factors described herein.

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 LOW-PRICE, TECHNICALLY-ACCEPABLE (LPTA) METHOD

The Government will select the offer that represents the best value to the Government by using the LPTA METHOD described in FAR Part 15. The Government shall evaluate the lowest-priced offeror. Should that offeror’s proposal be found to be technically acceptable in all non-price factors, the Government shall stop evaluations and make direct award to said offeror, assuming their price is found to be fair and reasonable. Should the proposal not be technically acceptable in all non-price factors, or should the price offer not be found fair and reasonable, the Government shall evaluate the next lowest-price offeror. This process will repeat until a technically acceptable offeror whose price offer is fair and reasonable is selected.

2.3. 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. 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 the extent it meets the requirements for the solicitation as indicated in the two factors described below. Each of the evaluation factors will be evaluated by the Government and an acceptability rating will be determined by consensus of the Government evaluation board for the technical factors.

b. The evaluation factors correlate directly to the main organizational tabs identified in the proposal submission instructions.

(1) Factor 1: Experience

(2) Factor 2: Past Performance

2.6 RESERVED

This section contained no text.

2.7 GENERAL TECHNICAL EVALUATION CRITERIA

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

b. 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 submitted alternates that were not requested (e.g. key subcontractor), the information will not be evaluated.

c. The Government cannot make award based on an unacceptable 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 the revised proposal is found to be acceptable.

d. Technical Ratings:

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

ADJECTIVAL RATING

DESCRIPTION

“ACCEPTABLE”

Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

“UNACCEPTABLE”

Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

3. GENERAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS

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 GENERAL PROPOSAL PREPARATION.

The proposal shall be submitted as summarized below and as required by the specifications.

(1) Volume I – Technical Volume

(a) Factor 1: Experience

(b) Factor 2: Past Performance

(2) Volume II – Price Volume

(c) Pricing Schedule

(d) Work Breakdown Structure

(e) Representations, Certifications, and Other Statements of Offerors

(f) Bid Guarantee

(g) Pre-Award Survey Information

Each offeror must submit a 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.

3.2.1 Marking of Proposal Volumes.

Mark each volume as either the “Price Volume” or the “Technical Volume”. In addition, 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.

TECHNICAL VOLUME

4.1 NUMBER OF SETS OF THE TECHNICAL VOLUME.

The Technical Proposal is to be submitted in one hard “original” and four (4) copies. In addition, submit one complete PDF copy of the technical proposal on Compact Disk (CD).

4.2 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. Organize your technical proposal as indicated below. The tabs directly correlate to the technical evaluation factors. Although the Government may use information contained anywhere within the technical proposal in its evaluation of any technical evaluation criteria, the Government is not obligated to search for or to consider information that is not located in the specified location.

Number the pages. Do not include information pertaining to your proposed pricing for this project in the technical proposal. Limit your submittals to the information specified; excess information will not be evaluated. For purposes of the CD electronic version of the proposal, “tabs” means searchable PDF bookmarks.

TECHNICAL VOLUME

TAB CONTENTS

1. FACTOR 1 – Experience

2. FACTOR 2 – Past Performance

4.3.1 Tab 1 of the Technical Volume: Factor 1 – Experience.

4.3.1.1 Submission Requirements

The offeror shall submit a project portfolio containing up to five example projects for this factor. If more than five projects are submitted, only the first five projects will be evaluated. Projects included in the portfolio shall demonstrate the offeror’s relevant military or commercial construction experience. Projects will only be considered to demonstrate relevant construction experience if they are similar in size, scope, and complexity to the B829 Re-Stucco & Mold Mitigation project.

To be evaluated, a project must have been completed within the last five years or be substantially complete at the time the proposal is submitted. A project will be considered substantially complete if it is 95% or more complete. If an Offeror presents a project that is less than 95% complete, the proposal must include an explanation why that project should be considered substantially complete.

Use the following format to provide project information:

vii. Awards or recognition received, where applicable.

If the offeror represents the combining of two or more companies, state if the example project represents a joint venture of the listed parties.

4.3.1.2 Evaluation Criteria

Acceptable: a proposal will be rated Acceptable if it meets all of the following requirements:

Unacceptable: a proposal will be rated Unacceptable if it does not meet any one of the four requirements listed in the description of the Acceptable rating.

NOTE: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

4.4 Tab 2 of the Technical Proposal: Factor 2 – Past Performance.

4.4.1 Submission Requirements

a. Offerors shall provide past performance evaluation information for the example projects included in the project portfolio submitted for Factor 1. That information may include reports from the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS), questionnaire, similar performance evaluation, or other performance evaluations completed previously.

b. The Past Performance Questionnaire included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project described above in 4.3.2.1. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed Past Performance questionnaires should be submitted with your proposal. If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project (s) before proposal closing date, the offeror shall complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. Completed questionnaires may also be submitted by the preparer directly to the Government’s point of contact, Karen Scott using email at Karen.D.Scott@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date.

c. In addition to the above, the Government may review information obtained from any other sources in evaluating each offeror’s past performance. Sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

d. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

e. Formatting and Other Restrictions

(1) Start the information for each example project on a new page. There is not a page limitation for this submission.

4.4.2. Evaluation Criteria:

The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements.

Past performance will be initially evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s present/past performance is recent, and relevant or not relevant to the effort to be acquired. Past performance will be considered recent if it has been completed within the last five years or substantially complete at the time the proposal is submitted. It will be considered relevant if it is similar in size, scope, and complexity to the B829 Re-Stucco & Mold Mitigation project.

Second, the past performance evaluation should determine how well the offeror performed on the prior contracts. The past performance evaluation performed in support of a current source selection does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the offeror’s past performance on past contracts; rather, the past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the offeror performed those past contracts.

NOTE: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

In conducting the past performance evaluation, each Offeror shall be assigned one of the ratings in accordance with the table below.

PRICE VOLUME.

5.1 NUMBER OF SETS OF THE PRICE PROPOSAL.

Submit the price proposal volume in an electronic format, using a searchable bookmarked “pdf” file format which will become part of the contract (this price volume may be on the same CD as the technical proposal, but both volumes must be in separate files. DO NOT submit hard copies of the price volume, except for the bid guarantee, if applicable.

5.1.1. 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. For the price volume only, “tab” means a bookmark on a searchable PDF document.
