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 price 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 proposal 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 price 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 price schedule.

3. Offerors must submit a proposal on all items.

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

5. Responders are advised that this project 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. 52.217-5 EVALUATION OF OPTIONS (JUL 1990)

(a) Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government's best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the

Government to exercise the option(s).

NOTES: (cont)

(b) The Government may reject an offer as nonresponsive if it is materially unbalanced as to prices for the basic requirement and the option quantities. An offer is unbalanced when it is based on prices significantly less than cost for some work and prices which are significantly overstated for other work.

7. 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 0010 00.00 44 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE, paragraph 1 entitled SCHEDULE.

TAB E – Bid Bond (Standard Form 24)

TAB F – Pre Award Information (e.g. Bank and Supplier References)

In accordance with FAR 9.103(a) “… contracts shall be awarded to responsible prospective contractors only.” To be determined responsible, a prospective contractor must meet the standards at FAR 9.104 that requires a prospective contractor to have adequate financial resources to perform the contract or the ability to obtain them. As an aid in assessing responsibility, the offeror shall notify their bank/suppliers that the Corps of Engineers may contact them, and shall authorize the bank/suppliers to release the following information regarding the Offeror’s account. If a written authorization is required by their bank, Offerors shall provide that authorization with their proposal.

Name and telephone number of bank’s point of contact Number of year’s business has been conducted with each bank Types of open accounts (checking, loans, etc.)

Balance of current accounts (the banks will provide a "range of figures" for this information, such as, medium five-figures range) Means by which loans are secured and if paid as agreed Point of contact and telephone number of three (3) different suppliers CAGE Code

NOTE: All offerors must submit one (1) CAGE code. For a Joint Venture, as for all Offerors, there must be a CAGE Code. This issue may be addressed one of two ways: (1) One company of the Joint Venture could use its CAGE Code; in this situation, this company will have the sole legal responsibility for performance under the contract. Or, (2) The Joint Venture could establish its own CAGE code. This will require its own address, its own bank account, its own taxpayer identification and so on. The US Government has no preference of how the Joint Venture decides to address this issue, other than to say – there must be a CAGE Code - and that CAGE Code will be used to generate the award documents for names and addresses. It will also be used for payment during the contract duration.

For the purpose of evaluating the preaward survey information submitted hereunder:

The Pre-Award Survey information must be completed by all offerors and submitted as as part of their price proposal. This document may be used by the Contracting Officer for the Contracting Officer’s Determination of Responsibility done prior to contract award.

The Government will use pre-award survey data provided by the offeror and data obtained from other sources to perform this assessment.

TAB G – Subcontracting Plan – FOR LARGE BUSINESS OFFERORS ONLY.

Subcontracting Plan shall be prepared in accordance with FAR 52.219-9.

3. VOLUME II: TECHNICAL PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

3.1 FACTOR 1: CONSTRUCTION PAST PERFORMANCE ON SIMILAR TYPE

WORK (VOLUME II, TAB 1). Offerors shall be evaluated for acceptability on construction projects completed or in progress in the last five years that are same/similar in size (square footage), scope and complexity to the project requirements solicited under this RFP such as multi-story construction of commercial kitchens with dining facilities and training classroom buildings. Submitted projects (AM#2) should shall (/AM#2) be similar in construction type methods required by this solicitation’s technical specifications consisting of the following significant features: a drilled pier foundation, concrete floor slabs, structural frame, precast concrete cladding, masonry walls, standing seam metal roof, anti-terrorism force protection construction, (AM#2) loading dock, refrigerated enclosures, kitchen utilities, kitchen equipment, stadium raised classroom floors, polished concrete floor finish, service yards with precast concrete screen walls, back-up generator, HVAC system, fire protection system, cooling tower, lightning protection system and an elevator. Provides all necessary support and restores all areas disturbed by construction. Complies with DoD Minimum Antiterrorism/Force Protection Standards per UFC. (/AM#2) In addition the offeror must demonstrate successful experience in the certification process for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) through U.

S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

The Offeror’s past performance will be evaluated to determine technical capability to perform the proposed contract and how well it satisfied its customers. The information presented in the Offeror’s submittal, together with that from other sources available to the Government will comprise the input for evaluation of acceptability for this factor. The following elements will be evaluated:

• Quality of Construction

• Timeliness of Performance

• Customer Satisfaction

• Subcontractor Management

• Documentation

• Safety Record

3.1.1 Offeror’s Submission Requirements.

3.1.1.1 Project Information Worksheets. Offerors shall provide project information on no more than five completed (or substantially complete) construction projects that reflect prior past performance and experience on similar type projects and construction elements referenced in Paragraph 3.1 above. The examples should be similar to this solicitation in project type, size, complexity and scope. Submitted commercial kitchen with dining facility type projects must be valued at over (AM#2) $10,000,000; classroom $10,000,000 and classroom building type projects with including kitchen and dining (i.e.; high schools or universities) must have with a combined value at over $20,000,000. ((/AM#2) (A construction project is considered substantially complete when the facility is sufficient for occupancy for the use of which it is intended at the time of this solicitation submission). As a minimum, the contractor shall provide the data specified in the attached “Project Information” Worksheet. If the offeror represents the combining of two or more companies for the purpose of this RFP, each company shall list project examples. For each of the projects submitted, on the Project Information Worksheets, provide a narrative discussing the relevancy of the submitted project to this solicitation. In addition, Offerors are encouraged to submit a matrix chart or table identifying each project submitted and depicting the various types of similar construction methods as required for this project. The information provided on the Project Information Worksheets and additional project information provided will be used in the evaluations of Factor 1.

3.1.1.2 Performance Documentation. For each similar type project submitted, offerors shall submit available performance documentation. If no performance documentation is available, state so on the project information worksheet. Experience given with no past performance information associated with it leads the Government to believe that the Offeror may have performed poorly on those projects.

3.1.1.2.2 For non-DOD contracts, provide a copy of the performance rating issued by the contracting agent.

3.1.1.2.3 Offerors may submit awards, letters or other forms of recognition relevant to the submitted projects that demonstrate the offeror’s performance capabilities and customer satisfaction.

3.1.1.3 Past Performance Questionnaires. For each project that does not have a final CCASS evaluation, offerors shall provide a questionnaire to the point of contact, clearly identifying the project to be evaluated. A sample Past Performance Evaluation Questionnaire is included at the end of this section. When completed, these forms shall be mailed, faxed or e-mailed to the Fort Worth District Contract Specialist identified in the sample transmittal letter provided. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that the reference documentation is provided, as the Government may not make additional requests for past performance information from the references. The evaluation form shall be provided to the Contract Specialist directly from the reference. Do not request past performance questionnaires on projects that have final CCASS evaluations.

3.1.1.4 Other Sources. The Government may contact sources other than those provided by the Offeror for information with respect to past performance on projects completed within the past 5 years and on projects that are currently under construction. These other sources may include, but are not limited to, CCASS, telephone interviews with organizations familiar with the Offeror’s performance, and Government personnel with personal knowledge of the Offeror’s performance capability.

3.1.1.5 New Companies and Joint Ventures. New companies and joint ventures entering the marketplace (without relevant company experience) should each submit past performance information on similar projects to this solicitation. If Offeror represents the combining of two or more companies for the purpose of this RFP, the proposal shall clearly identify the contractual responsibilities of each firm and the work to be performed by each; describe the nature of the association; indicate whether the firms have experience working together in construction ventures, including how long and how many projects. If no such past performance information is available then the new company or joint venture shall be given a neutral rating.

Provide a copy of the commitment letter of the firms or the joint venture agreement. Prior to award of any contract, a copy of the Joint Venture Agreement will be required. If approval of the Joint Venture Agreement is required by the Small Business Administration, failure to timely provide an approved SBA Joint Venture Agreement may prevent award of a contract.

3.1.2 Evaluation. The Government will evaluate the Offeror's responsiveness to the solicitation regarding past performance on similar projects using the sources identified above. New Companies and Joint Ventures shall be evaluated on their own past performance to determine the company’s ability to perform satisfactorily under the elements of evaluation. If any of the information required to be submitted is not included in the Project Information Worksheet then the contractor will be considered non-responsive and evaluated as unacceptable

Offerors may be provided an opportunity to address any negative past performance information about which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. The Government treats an Offeror's lack of past performance as having no positive or negative evaluation significance. The Government will evaluate past performance based on the elements listed below:

• Quality of Construction. Based on all information available, the Government will assess the quality of the actual construction undertaken and the standards of workmanship exhibited by the Offeror.

• Timeliness of Performance. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the Offeror completing past projects within the scheduled completion times.

• Customer Satisfaction. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the Offeror’s past customer satisfaction, cooperation with customers, and interaction on past projects.

• Subcontractor Management. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the Offeror’s management of subcontractors, including mitigation of conflicts and resolution of disputes at the lowest level. For large businesses, the Government will also evaluate compliance with subcontracting plans.

• Documentation. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the Offeror’s level of meeting customer satisfaction on timeliness and quality of the documentation, reports, and other written materials completed by the Offeror on past projects.

• Safety Record. All information available with respect to the Offeror’s safety record, to include CCASS rating for safety, safety awards, and other indications of improvements in safety will be taken into consideration in evaluating the Offeror’s overall safety record.

STANDARD FOR ACCEPTABILITY: This standard is met when the Offeror has demonstrated satisfactory performance or better in the areas noted above on relevant similar type projects as described under this Factor 1. Failure to demonstrate the minimally acceptability standards under this factor will result in a “NO GO” rating and possible elimination from further consideration for contract award.

3.2 FACTOR 2: MANAGEMENT EFFECTIVENESS (VOLUME II, TAB 2). The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s management effectiveness by considering the Offeror’s understanding and capability of successfully managing the project to completion. The following elements will be evaluated:

• Organizational Chart or Structure

• Preliminary Contractor Quality Control Plan (CQC Plan).

• Contract Closeout Plan.

3.2.1.3.7 Closeout of administrative deficiencies.

3.2.2 Evaluation.

3.2.2.1 Organizational Chart or Structure

3.2.2.1.1 The organizational chart will be evaluated for required contractor staffing, chain of command, lines of communication and logical management structure.

3.2.2.2 Contractor Quality Control Plan. The Contractor Quality Control (CQC) Plan will be evaluated for staffing and practices that ensure all services required by this solicitation are performed and provided in a manner that meets the project requirements.

3.2.2.3 Closeout Plan. The Offeror’s closeout plan will be reviewed and evaluated to determine the Offeror’s understanding of the solicitation close out requirements.

STANDARD FOR ACCEPTABILITY: This standard is met when the Offeror demonstrates the ability to accomplish the work in a manner that meets or exceeds the requirements of the solicitation. This standard is met when the Offeror demonstrates a clear understanding of the solicitation requirements, a plan to provide good customer service, capability of successfully managing the project to completion and a preliminary Quality Control Plan that will ensure the successful completion of the work. Failure to demonstrate the minimally acceptability standards under this factor will result in a “NO GO” rating and possible elimination from further consideration for contract award.

3.3 FACTOR 3: CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE (VOLUME II, TAB 3).

3.3.1 Submission Requirements: The Offeror shall provide a narrative and a times scaled [Gantt Chart] summary network. The proposed total contract duration in calendar days shall be reflected on the chart. The Schedule shall fully demonstrate how the Offeror plans to complete all work, no later than the completion date from the receipt of contract Notice-to Proceed (NTP) as specified in the Construction Schedule, Section 01 00 00.00 44. The Schedule is to include sequencing of work for construction activities, specified time for Government review and approval periods of required work plans, submittals, long lead procurement items, phasing of work, all option work, and closeout submittals specified in Section (AM#1) 01 78 02.00 44 Contract Closeout Submittals. (/AM#1)

(AM#1)

It is the Government’s requirement that all work is to be completed is to complete within the duration specified in the Construction Schedule. The Offeror may propose a completion period of lesser duration; however, any such proposals must include the same time periods for Government reviews, Option Work and phasing as specified in the solicitation. If the Government accepts a proposal for a completion period of a lesser duration, and such proposal alters the time periods for reviews, option work and phasing, the contract shall be read to include the original periods for these activities. If the Government accepts a proposal for a completion period of a lesser duration, the accepted completion period will replace the original construction schedule specified under Section 01 00 00.00 44. In addition, if a completion period of a lesser duration is proposed, the CLIN (Bid) Schedule must reflect pricing information for the lesser proposed completion period. Offers who propose completion of work beyond the completion period specified will be evaluated as unacceptable. Offerors are warned that the Military Construction Codification Act prohibits the expenditure of appropriations to expedite the completion date of a military construction contract at additional cost to the government.

Offerors may not expedite the completion date of the construction contract through the use of overtime, double shifts, larger crews, and similar efforts unless such measures are either required for normal construction efficiencies or offset by lowered overhead costs, more economical equipment rental costs, and other similar measures. (/AM#1)

The Narrative should include any construction challenges that the Offeror foresees that may jeopardize the successful completion of all contract work and plans for overcoming these challenges. (Any deviations from the solicitation requirements will be considered non-responsive and evaluated as unacceptable).

3.2.2 Evaluation. The narrative and time scaled schedule will be evaluated by the Government based on the Offer or’s demonstrated understanding of the solicitation scope of work, logical sequencing/scheduling of work activities, to include time periods for Government reviews, all option work and construction phasing as specified.

STANDARD FOR ACCEPTABILITY: This standard is met when the Offeror demonstrates a clear understanding of the solicitation requirements and a schedule to complete the project within the specified or proposed construction duration. Failure to demonstrate the minimally acceptability standards under this factor will result in a “NO GO” rating and possible elimination from further consideration for contract award.

4. EVALUATION OF TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

The offeror’s conformance with the specified format and submission requirements will be considered during the technical evaluation. Failure to comply with the format and/or the submission requirements may be seen as indicative of the type of problems that could be expected during contract performance. Material omission(s) may cause the technical proposal to be rejected as non-acceptable. The Offeror’s adherence to prescribed page and formatting limitations prescribed will be strictly adhered to and enforced. Information submitted which exceeds the specified limit will NOT be evaluated.

Proposals which are generic, vague, or lacking in detail may be considered unacceptable. The offeror’s failure to include information that the Government has indicated should be included may result in the proposal being found deficient if inadequate detail is provided.

The Government cannot make award based on a deficient offer. Therefore, receipt of a “NO GO” determination of acceptability for any factor will make the offer ineligible for award, unless the Government elects to enter into discussions with that Offeror and all deficiencies are remedied in a revised proposal.

5.0 EVALUATION OF PRICE PROPOSAL

The proposed price will be analyzed for reasonableness. It may also be analyzed to determine whether it is realistic for the scope of work to be performed; reflects a clear understanding of the requirements; and is consistent with the offeror’s technical proposal. All offers with separately priced line items or sub line items will be analyzed for unbalanced pricing.

6.0 INTENT TO AWARD WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions.

Offerors are reminded to include their best technical and price terms in their initial offer and not to automatically assume that they will have an opportunity to participate in discussions or be asked to submit a revised offer. The Government may make award of a conforming proposal without discussions, if deemed to be within the best interests of the Government.

7.0 PROPOSAL EXPENSE AND PREAWARD COSTS.

The Request for Proposal does not commit the Government to pay any costs incurred in the preparation and submission of the initial and/or any subsequent proposals.
