NOTES:

1. ARITHMETIC DISCREPANCIES (EFARS 14.407-2)

(a) For the purpose of initial evaluation of proposals, the following will be utilized in resolving arithmetic discrepancies found on the face of the clin schedule as submitted by offerors:

(1) Obviously misplaced decimal points will be corrected;

(2) In case of discrepancy between unit price and extended price, the unit price will govern;

(3) Apparent errors in extension of unit prices will be corrected; and

(4) Apparent errors in addition of lump-sum and extended prices will be corrected.

(b) For the purpose of proposal evaluation, the Government will proceed on the assumption that the offeror intends his proposal to be evaluated on the basis of the unit prices, the totals arrived at by resolution of arithmetic discrepancies as provided above and the offer will be so reflected on the abstract of proposals.

(c) These correction procedures shall not be used to resolve any ambiguity concerning which proposal is low.

2. If a modification to a proposal based on unit prices is submitted, which provides for a lump sum adjustment to the total estimated cost, the application of the lump sum adjustment to each unit price in the clin schedule must be stated. If it is not stated, the offeror agrees that the lump sum adjustment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to every unit price in the clin schedule.

3. Offerors must bid on all items.

4. Costs attributable to Division 01 - General Requirements are assumed to be prorated among price items listed.

5. Responders are advised that this requirement may be delayed, cancelled or revised at any time during the solicitation, selection, evaluation, negotiation and/or final award process based on decisions related to DOD changes in force structure and disposition of the Armed Forces.

6. The Army will procure this structure through a design and cost competition in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Request for Proposal (RFP). When a contract is awarded, it will be a Firm Fixed Price Contract.

7. Any proposal that is materially unbalanced as to prices for the Price Schedule may be rejected. An unbalanced proposal is one that is based on prices significantly less than the cost for some work and prices that are significantly overstated for other work and can also exist where only overpricing or underpricing exists.

8. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS (SWDR 715-1-1 (16 January 1996))

The Government reserves the right to exercise the option(s) by written notice to the Contractor either singularly or in any combination for up to 120 calendar days after award of the Base Proposal without an increase in the Offeror's Proposal Price. Completion of added items shall continue at the same schedule as the Base Proposal unless otherwise noted in Section 01 00 00.00 44 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE, paragraph 1 entitled SCHEDULE.

1.0 OVERVIEW

1.1. The Government is looking for ways to streamline construction, manage labor and other resource constraints in an effort to reduce costs and achieve an aggressive schedule in executing task orders to meet the Army’s Transformation program goals of faster project execution at lower cost, while taking advantage of industry standards, means and methods.

1.2. This is a “Best Value” solicitation for the Design and Construction of a Barracks and Central Energy Plants located at

Fort Polk. The Government will evaluate the proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein, and award a firm fixed price contract to the responsible offeror, whose proposal conforms with all the terms and conditions of the solicitation and whose proposal is determined to represent the overall best value to the Government.

2.0 BASIS OF AWARD

2.1. The Contracting Officer will award a firm fixed-price contract to that responsible Offeror whose proposal the Source

Selection Authority has determined conforms to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government, considering all non-price factors described herein, and price. All evaluation factors, other than price, when combined, are considered significantly more important than the price, however the Contract award shall not exceed the cost limitation described in Section 00 21 00 for this project. The intent of this solicitation is to obtain the best proposal within the cost limitation. There is no obligation to approach or match the cost limitation in the offer. After the

Government individually evaluates and rates each proposal, the Contracting Officer/Source Selection Authority will compare proposals to determine which proposal represents the best value. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offers. The Government will not award a contract to an Offeror whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001. If there is a lower priced, conforming offer(s), the Contracting

Officer/Source Selection Official must determine that the added value of a more expensive proposal (within the cost limitation) would justify award to that offeror.

2.2. As part of the evaluation, the Government will evaluate betterments in proposals relative to the minimum standards in the RFP to determine if they offer additional value to the Government. In addition, innovations in proposals will be evaluated to determine if creative ideas of the Offeror are a better value to the Government compared to the minimum criteria.

3.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

3.1. Proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable terms from a price and technical standpoint. Do not assume that offerors will be contacted or afforded an opportunity to clarify, discuss or revise their proposals.

3.2. Firms formally organized as design-build entities, design firms and construction contractors that have associated specifically for this project, consortia of firms or any other interested parties may submit proposals. Associations may be as joint ventures or as key team subcontractors. Any legally organized Offeror may submit a proposal, provided that the

Offeror or Offeror’s subcontractor has or will have professional architects and engineers, registered in the appropriate technical disciplines and provided that the requirements specified in Contract clause, “Requirements for Registration of

Designers”, are met. All designs must be under the direct supervision of appropriately licensed professionals for each discipline involved.

3.3. Submit proposals in tabbed, three-ring binders. Note that the Government will not evaluate any material that exceeds the page limits, where indicated below.

5.6. SUSTAINABILITY REQUIREMENT

5.6.1. Submission Requirements:

The Offeror shall acknowledge that it understands the contract requirements for sustainable design and construction and that the final project will achieve a LEED Silver rating. The Offeror shall submit LEED-NC v 2.2 Registered Project

Checklist demonstrating how it will achieve the Silver LEED rating. Project Checklist for each non-exempt barracks and

CEPs demonstrating how it will achieve the Silver LEED rating. One checklist may be provided for multiple identical facilities. If the offeror proposes a higher LEED rating than silver, the proposal shall describe whether or not it involves additional costs and clearly indicate if such costs would detract from higher rated factors herein, such as functionality, quality of materials and systems, site work, etc.

5.7 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

5.71. General: It is the Army’s objective with this renovation project that these buildings will have a 20-year useful design life before a additional reuse/repurpose or renovation requirement, to include normal sustainment, restoration, and modernization activities. Within that overriding theme the Government will evaluate the Offeror’s selected systems and components proposed in terms of maintenance considerations (frequency, estimated cost, access, equipment locations), operability (ease of use, placement of control features, simplicity), durability (withstand troop usage, ease of cleaning), sustainability, and energy consumption (HVAC, lighting, power). The minimum acceptable level of quality for exterior finish materials for these buildings are those materials suitable for the expected population and usage. Residential or similar exterior grade finishes and materials are not acceptable for inclusion in these buildings.

5.7.2. The Government will evaluate the drawings submitted to ensure the Offeror has considered all technical requirements, to include whether the type of EFIS system proposed is appropriate for the conditions and environment at

Ft. Polk, that the sealants used are appropriate for maintaining a dry envelope of the building.

5.7.3. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s proposed mechanical equipment to determine the most efficient system used for the conditions for Ft. Polk. More emphasis will be placed on those Offerors who propose equipment that is easy to maintain and have a history of being durable and reliable equipment.

5.7.4. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s plan to correct the deteriorated CMU to include how well the Offeror is able to complete the repairs with the least amount of disruption to other trades and the most efficient use of materials.

5.7.5 The site design proposal shall be evaluated based on the overall compliance of the requirements set forth in the

Statement of Work. The Government will ensure that the proposal is complete, realistic and takes into consideration all requirements set forth in the Statement of Work. Failure to comply with the requirements will result in an Unacceptable rating.

5.7.6. All requirements identified as mandatory in Section 01 10 00 or elsewhere in the Solicitation must be included and the proposal must meet the requirements of the LEED-NC v 2.2 requirements for a Silver rating. The Government will provide additional evaluation consideration for proposals which include LEED points identified as preferred. The

Government does not desire to pay more to obtain a higher LEED rating, such as Gold, if the additional cost would detract from the higher rated factors, herein.

6.0 VOLUME 2 –FACTOR 2 – PERFORMANCE CAPABILITY

6.1. TAB A – SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE

6.1.1. Submission Requirements:

6.1.1.1. The offeror shall select the design firm(s) and key subcontractors for electrical and mechanical installation, (or prime contractor if design and/or electrical and mechanical work is to be self-performed). Also identify general mechanical subcontractors, and describe the extent of their involvement in the project The prime contractor and the design firm(s) (or prime contract if design is to be self-performed) shall each demonstrate recent, relevant experience on similar projects, Construction – Specialized Experience Form (Attachment 3), Designer – Specialized Experience Form

(Attachment 4), and Key Subcontractor – Specialized Experience Form (Attachment 5) at the end of the section. Offerors may identify state and local government and private contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements. If the offeror is a joint venture, each firm shall provide information, demonstrating experience relevant to their role on this project. Submit projects selected from those discussed in the experience narrative that are currently well underway

(designed and at least 50% construction progress completed) or completed and turned over no longer that five (5) years preceding the date of this Solicitation. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those preformed by the division or unit submitting the offer or by the team member. Design firms may list prime contractors they have worked for or government, private or commercial customers. The offeror shall select the design firm(s). If projects were design-build, so identify them. The prime contractor and the design firm(s) shall each submit no more than five (5) projects that represent barracks and central energy plant rehabilitation The projects presented shall also state the mechanical designer and mechanical subcontractor.

6.1.1.2. The offeror may provide a supplemental narrative (not project lists), not to exceed two pages, explaining how any corporate experience that is not directly related to the specific projects above is applicable to this project and how the

Government will benefit. The following information may be considered.

6.1.1.3. The offeror should describe any previous teaming experience between current team members, if not described in the project list. Describe Team members’ experience on LEED projects, if not included on the project list. Offeror may describe design-build experience on other type projects. The above information is limited to projects that are well underway or that have been completed and turned over no longer than the past five years preceding the date of this solicitation.

6.1.2. Evaluation Criteria:

6.1.2.1. The Government will evaluate the extent of recent, related experience of the prime contractor, design firm(s) and key subcontractors in design, construction or design-build, as relevant to their role on this project. If the design will be accomplished in-house, rather than by subcontract, then the design element of specialized experience will still be evaluated, realizing that the work is being done in-house. Experience on the similar projects identified in the project lists will receive more consideration than experience provided in the supplemental narrative. The Government may place greater importance on projects performed as a prime contractor than as a subcontractor, depending upon overall role and relevancy considerations. Federal Government project experience will not be rated inherently more important than non-

Federal Government project experience. (Note: After award, the Section 00 73 00 Special Contract Requirement Key

Personnel, Subcontractors and Outside Consultants will apply to the selection, which establishes the minimum quality standard. No substitution will be allowed without adequate reason and possible consideration to the Government.)

6.1.2.2. The Offeror must submit the requested information to demonstrate a record of recent, related experience in both design and construction, for the barrack types (which may include similar state or local government or private counterparts) included in this contract. Recent experience includes projects well underway (see above criteria) or those completed and turned over within five (5) years of the proposal issue date for this RFP for design or construction experience. Joint Venture partners should each demonstrate experience commensurate with their role on this project or explain in the supplemental narrative how their experience qualifies them for their role on this project.

6.1.2.3. The Government reserves the right to verify the experience record of cited projects or other recent projects by reviewing the Corps of Engineers Construction Contractor (or Architect-Engineer) Appraisal Support System

(CCASS/ACASS), other DOD or Government appraisal systems or to interview owners or references. The Government may check any or all cited references to verify supplied information.

6.1.2.4. To receive credit for extent (amount) of experience, the Offeror and its proposed design firm(s) shall demonstrate a history of recent, relevant experience. A firm will not receive credit under this factor for the relevant experience of key personnel proposed for this project.

6.1.2.5. The Government will consider extent of recent experience, degree of relationship of such experience to this project, demonstrated familiarity with applicable codes and local conditions. Some examples of relevancy to this project may include, but not be limited to:

(1) Number, size, type work, complexity, location

(2) Dates (well under way or completed no more than 5 years preceding date of Solicitation)

(3) Firm's role and extent of work self-performed (brokering out all work and simply “pouring the sidewalks” on a cited project are examples of less relevant experience)

6.1.2.6. Previous design-build experience is not necessary for an acceptable rating. The Government may consider previous D-B experience a strength, even if the experience is on different type projects than this project. Similarly, the

Government may consider previous recent teaming experience among the team members as value added, even if on different type design and/or construction projects than this project. The more relevant the experience, the more credit will be given.

6.1.2.7. The firm(s) preparing the design must demonstrate qualifications and experience in sustainable design and development and design, based on project experience on projects that have achieved US Green Building Council’s LEED certification or project experience on completed Corps of engineers design-build projects that were validated as having achieving LEED silver rating or were certifiable at LEED silver or better for an acceptable rating. Additional consideration will be given if both the constructor and the design firm(s) demonstrate qualifications and experience on

LEED.

6.2. TAB B – PAST PERFORMANCE

6.2.1. Submission Requirements:

6.2.1.1. Past performance refers to the quality of recent project experience from the owner's perspective. The Offeror and its design firm(s) (or prime contractor if design is to be self-performed) shall provide customer reference name(s), company affiliation and current phone numbers on the specific project experience sheets in TAB B. The Government will use the specific project experience sheets submitted for specialized experience in Tab B that were completed or well underway (as defined above) within five (5) years preceding the date of the solicitation. (No separate submittal for past performance for those projects, here). Include the performance rating by the owner on the form, if the Offeror was rated.

Additional past performance examples may be submitted for consideration on any member of a Teaming Arrangement that will perform a major or critical aspect of the project. Projects cited shall be currently well underway (fully designed and at least 50% construction progress completed) or construction substantially completed within 5 years preceding the date of this solicitation. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division, unit or team member submitting the offer. The Government may contact and interview the points of contact and reserves the right to interview other individuals acting for the listed reference, if the listed reference is not available. See the Interview form at the end of this Section (attachment 4). The team members may also briefly provide information on problems encountered on identified contracts and the team member’s corrective action.

6.2.2. Evaluation Criteria:

6.2.2.1. The Government will perform a risk assessment, considering the degree of success of the D-B team's recent (well under way or turned over no longer than five (5) years preceding the date of this solicitation), relevant experience. See explanation of “well underway” and relevancy under the Factor “Specialized Experience”. The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor performance.
