The existing buildings will require new wall openings and an emergency boiler to maintain “N+1” boiler redundancy in the plants. The boilers in B260 will be replaced with five new 50 million Btu/hour (MMBH) boilers. The boilers will achieve ultra-low oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions of 9 parts per million (ppm). The existing boiler fuel oil underground storage tanks (USTs) in both buildings will be removed and replaced with aboveground storage tanks (AST), which are sized for seven days of storage during peak heating season. The existing buildings will have seismic retrofitting and supporting equipment (deaerator, pumps, etc.) upgraded.

CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY, PRE-AWARD 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 10 or 00 22 20 OR Attachments, Preaward Survey). All offerors will complete and return the Preaward Survey as part of the Price/Cost proposal. (Pre-award Survey is not required for Phase I, Preaward Survey will be required for Phase II. ) 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.

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.

INDIVIDUAL SURETIES IN SUPPORT OF BID BONDS:

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.

Failure to provide required documentation described herein may cause the offeror to be deemed "unacceptable".

5.0 GOVERNMENT EVALUATION OF PHASE-TWO TECHNICAL PROPOSALS:

EVALUATION CRITERIA AND METHODOLOGY

5.1 General Evaluation Guidelines

a. Material submitted by each Offeror under each evaluation factor will be evaluated by the Government.

b. The Government will evaluate each Offeror’s Phase-Two technical proposal on the basis of the thoroughness and factual detail of the narrative and documentation submitted.

c. Failure by an Offeror to comply with formatting or submission requirements contained in the solicitation, the presence of significant mistakes or errors in a proposal, or the presence of more than a nominal number of less significant mistakes/errors in a proposal, may be considered indicative of an increased risk of inattention to detail or quality control during contract performance. Lack of conformance may therefore result in a higher risk assessment, in addition to other possible adverse impacts on the evaluation. Material omission(s) may cause a technical proposal to be rejected as unacceptable. However, in accordance with FAR 52.215-1, the Government may waive informalities or minor irregularities in proposals. For example, a failure by a proposed key subcontractor to submit a properly executed letter of commitment may be considered reflective of increased risk but not an outright proposal deficiency.

d. Phase-Two technical proposals which do not provide the specified information in the specified location in accordance with these submission instructions may be downgraded. The Government is not obligated to search for information that is not in its specified location.

e. Any prescribed page and formatting limitations will be strictly adhered to by the Government. The Government will not evaluate information contained on pages that exceed the limitations set forth in these instructions. For example, submission of a three page document in response to a requirement with a two page limitation will be treated as follows: information on the first two pages will be evaluated while any information on the third page will be ignored. Similarly, if an Offeror were to submit a fold-out sheet (e.g. 11”x17”) in response to an information request with a one-page limitation where fold-out sheets are not authorized, only the information that could reasonably be submitted on one 8-1/2 x 11 inch sheet will be evaluated. If an Offeror were to submit three 8-1/2 x 11 inch pages in response to a request containing a not-to-exceed 11 x 17 inch page limitation, only the information that could reasonably be submitted on one 11 x 17 inch sheet would be evaluated. If an Offeror were to submit alternates that were not requested (e.g. key subcontractor), the information would not be evaluated.

f. Proposals which are generic, vague, or lacking in detail may be downgraded. Responses that are essentially blanket offers of compliance cannot substitute for inclusion of the detailed and thorough technical information necessary to determine an Offeror’s qualifications to successfully complete the proposed project. Accordingly a proposal’s omission of information the Government requests in this solicitation may result in a finding of deficiency or a downgrade of the proposal if inadequate detail is provided.

g. A “strength” is an aspect of an Offeror's proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance. “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. An “uncertainty” or “ambiguity” is any aspect of the proposal for which the intent of the Offeror is unclear because there may be more than one way to interpret the proposal or because inconsistencies in the proposal indicate that there may be an error, omission, or mistake.

Examples include a mistake in calculation or measurement and contradictory statements. 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. 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.

h. The Government cannot make award to a contractor with a deficient offer. Proposals containing deficiencies will be rated “Unacceptable,” making them ineligible for award unless the Government elects to enter into discussions with that Offeror and all deficiencies are remedied in a revised proposal.

5.2 Technical Evaluation

5.2.1 Factor 4 – Design and Construction Approach

a. Factor 4 Tab 1A – Technical Narrative.

(1) The Government will evaluate how well the proposal indicates an approach and understanding of the requirements that decreases the risk of unsuccessful performance. The soundness and workability of the Offeror’s approach and method to design and construct the subject procurement. As part of its evaluation, the Government will consider whether the Offeror’s approach appears reasonable, achievable, reflects logical sequencing, and progression of activities.

(2) The greater the narrative demonstrates knowledge and understanding based on the specifications and drawings as it relates to (1) site preparation; (2) secure facility construction;

(3) utilities; (4) construction work discipline sequencing; (5) site work, and (6) clean-up; the higher the evaluation rating.

(3) The Government will evaluate the identified roles and involvement of the key-subcontractor(s), and planned interaction between Technical Reviewers and various contractor and government personnel for how well the proposal indicates an approach and understanding of the requirements that decreases the risk of unsuccessful performance.

(4) The Government will evaluate the description of any significant problems or major difficulties anticipated in performing or accomplishing the work, challenges associated with this project, and Offeror’s plan for avoiding problems and mitigating difficulties which could adversely impact project schedule for how well proposal indicates an approach and understanding of the requirements that decreases the risk of unsuccessful performance.

b. Factor 4 Tab 1B – Network Analysis Schedule (NAS).

(1) The Government will evaluate the NAS to determine the extent to which it demonstrates (i) the

Offeror’s understanding of the…
