CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY, PREAWARD SURVEY:

In order to determine a contractor's responsibility for purposes of contract award in accordance with FAR Part

9.104, 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 equipment to be used in performing the work (see Attachments, Pre-award Survey).

If the contractor or subcontractor does not already have sufficient resources demonstrated in the completed Pre-award Survey, acceptable evidence of "the ability to obtain" the required, adequate resources 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.

Offerors shall 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.

AVAILABILITY OF CORPS OF ENGINEERS PUBLICATIONS DESCRIPTIONS:

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

INDIVIDUAL SURETIES IN SUPPORT OF BID BONDS:

Bidders/offerors utilizing individual sureties in support of a bid bond shall include a Standard Form (SF)

"Pledges of Assets," FAR 52.228-11).

Pledges of acceptable assets shall be in the form of (1) evidence of an escrow account and/or (2) a recorded lien on real estate.

If this is an IFB, failure to provide pledges of acceptable assets, with the bid, in the specified form, accompanied by a properly executed SF 24 and SF 28, will render the bidder nonresponsible and thus ineligible for award. If this is an RFP, failure to provide required documentation described herein may cause the offeror to be deemed "unacceptable".

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:

SECTION 00 22 00 - SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

GENERAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

INSTRUCTIONS, EVALUATIONS,

AND CONTRACT AWARD

1. OVERVIEW

a. This action is a “Lowest Price Technically Acceptable “ (LPTA) solicitation for the North Apron

Repairs, Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The Contracting Officer will award to the responsible offeror that represents the lowest-price, technically-acceptable proposal, considering all non-price factors described herein.

b. The Government neither intends to conduct discussions nor to request revised proposals. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if it is deemed to be in the best interest of the Government in accordance with FAR 15.306 and FAR 52.215-1(f)(4).

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-ACCEPTABLE (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 bid guarantee; and the offeror’s pre-award survey information).

2.4. THE TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTORS

a. Beginning with the lowest priced offer, the Government will evaluate the offeror’s technical proposal against the evaluation criteria contained herein in order to determine the proposal’s technical acceptability. The process will continue until a technically acceptable proposal is identified. Once a technically acceptable proposal is identified, proposal evaluation will cease; and the Government will proceed to evaluate the technical acceptable offeror’s price proposal for fair and reasonable pricing, and upon the contracting officer’s affirmative determination of responsibility, the Government will proceed to award the contract. 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 all technical factors other than past performance. The Past Performance factor will be evaluated by the Government and a relevancy acceptability 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.

(1) Factor 1: Experience and Capability (separate PDF)

(2) Factor 2: Schedule (separate PDF)

(3) Factor 3: Past Performance (separate PDF)

2.5 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.

More than a nominal number of errors/mistakes or egregious errors/mistakes may affect the offeror’s ability to clearly meet the minimum requirements. 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.

b. 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.

c. Proposals which are generic, vague, or lacking in detail may be found unacceptable. 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 the specified requirements. 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 found unacceptable 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.

e. The degree of risk to the Government inherent in the offeror’s technical proposal will be a consideration under every evaluation factor.

f. 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.

g. Technical Ratings: Other than Past Performance

Table 1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

ADJECTIVAL RATING DESCRIPTION

“ACCEPTABLE” Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

“UNACCEPTABLE”

Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

h. Past Performance Evaluation. The past performance evaluation results in an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the resulting contract 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 shall be used as an evaluation factor within the LPTA process, unless waived by the

PCO in accordance with FAR 15.304(c)(3)(iii). It shall be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.305 and

DFARS 215.305.

However, the comparative assessment in FAR 15.305(a)(2)(i) does not apply. Therefore, past performance will be rated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis using the ratings in Table 2.

Past performance should 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. The criteria to establish what is recent and relevant shall be unique to each LPTA source selection. Therefore, the solicitation shall establish the criteria for recency and relevancy in relation to the specific requirement being procured.

In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, consideration should be given to what aspects of an offeror’s contract performance history would give the most confidence that the offeror will satisfy the requirements of the contract that is contemplated to be awarded as a result of the evaluation of proposals in the current procurement.

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.

Table 2. Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

ADJECTIVAL RATING DESCRIPTION

“ACCEPTABLE” Based on the offeror’s performance record, the

Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note above)

“UNACCEPTABLE” Based on the offeror’s performance record, the

Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Sources of Past Performance Information for Evaluation.

Sources are as follows:

• Past performance information may be provided by the offeror, as solicited.

• Past performance information may be obtained from questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of the acquisition.

• Past Performance information may be obtained from established systems such as the Contractor

Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of entities

(partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror's proposal, Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; and may be obtained from other sources available to the Government, such as the Defense Contract Management

Agency, and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials. In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, PPQs submitted on prior RFPs, and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

The technical evaluation team will review this past performance information and determine whether the proposal is technically acceptable or unacceptable based on the definition above at Table 1. Per FAR 15.101-2(b)(1), small business offerors that are found to be technically unacceptable will be referred to the Small Business Administration for a Certificate of Competency determination.

3. GENERAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.

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

Submit only one electronic copy specifically authorized 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 A = Actual which means it has been completed tabs, are excluded from page limitations.

3.1.2 Proposal Binding.

This will be an electronic submission. Please follow instructions (proper Tabbing, etc.) for preparing the electronic file.

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.

4. 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 and Capability (separate PDF)

(b) Factor 2: Schedule (separate PDF)

(c) Factor 3: Past Performance (separate PDF)

Both volumes must be received electronically, 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.

This submission will be electronically submitted. Digital submissions will occur using Department of Defense

Secure Access File Exchange (DoD SAFE) https://safe.apps.mil/ using the link sent by the contract specialist to a SAM-registered POC email address. Offerors shall request a password to submit their proposal at least three days before the close of the Request for Proposal (RFP). The request email shall have the project title and solicitation number in the Subject line. Send email request for password to

Harold.e.teague@usace.army.mil no later than three days before the close of the RFP date/time.

4.1.1 Marking of Proposal Volumes.

Mark each volume as either the “Price Volume” PDF or the “Technical Volume” PDF. This will be an electronic submission. The Technical Volume and Price Volume will be separate searchable Adobe PDF.

4.1.2 Tabbing of Proposal Volumes.

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

4.1.3 Table of Contents.

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. 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 evaluated. For purposes of the electronic version of the proposal, “tabs” means searchable PDF bookmarks.

TAB CONTENTS

1. FACTOR 1 – Experience and Capability (separate PDF)

2. FACTOR 2 – Schedule (separate PDF)

3. FACTOR 3 – Past Performance (separate PDF)

5.2.1 FACTOR ONE – EXPERIENCE AND CAPABILITY

Offerors shall submit at least two (2) example projects, but no more than four (4) for the proposed “relevant” projects demonstrating that the prime and subcontractor(s) demonstrate recent and relevant experience and capability to successfully perform work similar in size, scope, and complexity to the project described in this solicitation.

For this factor, projects considered “relevant” must meet all of the following criteria:

(a) Experience as a prime contractor on a project of similar size and scope.

(b) Example project includes airfield paving on or near an active flight line.

(d) Experience Valued at $5M or greater

(e) Completed within the last 5 years

Projects considered “recent” must have been completed and turned over within the 5 years preceding the date of this solicitation to the time that proposals are due. Do not submit construction projects that are not either complete or substantially complete. For this purpose, “substantially complete” means that only punch list items remain for project acceptance or that the 95% of the elements of the project have been turned over to the customer for beneficial occupancy.

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.

Complete the Attachment – Contractor’s Project Experience Form for example projects in Factor 1.

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

Please number your project submissions and include a matrix similar to the one below for purposes of matching your submissions to their applicable experience areas:

Evaluation Areas Project #1 Project #2

Prime Contractor /

Sub-Contractor

Airfield Paving on or near an active flight line

Project valued at $5M or greater

Completed within the last 5 years

Offerors shall provide all of the information requested herein and complete the form Attachment-

Contractor’s Project Experience for each project submitted for Relevant Experience Subcontractor(s).

A Letter of Commitment and Authorization from the appropriate subcontractor(s) shall be provided in the proposal. This letter states the business concern’s intent to work on this project in the proposed specified capacity if the offeror is awarded the contract.

Where performance of a base contract and one or more options is relied upon by an offeror to meet any criterion under this Factor, the same base contract and contract option(s) will be evaluated for purposes of the remaining criteria for Relevant Experience (and Past Performance).

The narrative is limited to ten (10) 8-1/2” x 11” pages.

EVALUATION CRITERIA:

If any of the above requirements are not met in Factor 1 above, Factor 1 will be given a rating of ‘Unacceptable’.

See Table 1- Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings in Section 2.5.

5.2.2 FACTOR 2: SCHEDULE

The schedule must show adequate detail, logic and sequences to demonstrate Offeror’s can meet the required completion date. The Offeror shall use a critical path method in either the Precedence Diagram Method (PDM) or the Arrow Diagram Method (ADM); however, schedules shall be graphically represented.
