Completed PPQs may also be submitted by the preparer directly to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer by email prior to the RFP closing date.

The Government may review and consider information obtained from other sources, e.g., CPARS information using CAGE/Unique Entity ID/SAM numbers of the teaming arrangement, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), etc. 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.

Each example project must start on a new page and there is no page limitation for this submission.

4.2.3 Evaluation Criteria:

The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the offeror’s ability to successfully perform this requirement based on the offeror’s record of relevant past projects, and the documented level of satisfaction of each project owner after completion of construction. Past Performance will be determined relevant if a submitted project is similar in size, scope, and complexity to this requirement. How well the offeror performed the prior contracts submitted under Factor 1 will be evaluated by reviewing CPARS evaluations, completed PPQ forms and other information available to the Government.

*NOTE: If an offeror does not have a record of relevant past performance or information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or neutral) past performance (IAW FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). A neutral rating shall be considered acceptable.

Each Offeror shall be assigned one of the two ratings set forth in the table below.

Adjectival Rating

Description

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown *(See note above).

The proposal shall include a plan for mitigating the identified risk during contract performance to include coordination with subcontractor, general labor, privatized utilities, Base Civil Engineering, and Security Forces.

4.3.2 Submission Requirements

Evaluation criteria: Management Plan narratives will be evaluated based on the level of understanding of the work and the involvement the contractor will have in the management, oversight, control, coordination of the work, the identification and mitigation of risk and management of changes performed during construction of the project.

Narratives that clearly demonstrate the Offeror’s ability to complete construction within 732 calendar days from Notice to Proceed (NTP), along with a general understanding of potential factors that could impact availability (e.g., labor, weather, logistics), will be considered acceptable.

Proposals that indicate equipment availability or project completion beyond 732 calendar days after NTP will be rated Unacceptable under this factor.
