Section 00 11 00 - Standard Form (SF) 1442 and CLIN Schedule

Government’s intent is for Offerors to understand that JOC task order proposals are a bare cost line item(s), taken from the unit price book, then adding the appropriate line item quantities, and last to be multiplied by the coefficient. (AM#1) The Government does not think that a coefficient rate under 1.00 can be successful. (/AM#1)

The Government will not accept any task order proposal with additional line item(s) or percent increase markup(s), nor will the Government accept profit, bonding, overhead, etc type costs as additional line item(s) on the Offeror’s proposal. These type cost items (profit, bonding, overhead, etc.) shall already be included within the Offerors Coefficient. Offerors shall reference the coefficient inclusions page referenced in this solicitation.

Sample Problem and Solution: Government providing a sample problem and solution for Offerors to have a better understand of how a JOC task order proposal is to be created.

Sample Problem – A customer located in a maintenance building at Fort Bliss has been approved to make renovations to their break room. A HAZMAT survey has been performed to determine that there is asbestos under the existing VCT flooring. The building will be occupied during construction. A portion of the work must be performed after regular work hours. The features of work have already been determined and the line items have been totaled. Apply the appropriate coefficient to the supplied line item totals, the total cost proposal for the project shows all work and inclusions. To answer the Sample Problem, review the Coefficient Inclusions Page provided within this RFP, which is given to make sure it’s understood that all items such as profit, overhead, bonding, etc., shall be included within the Offeror’s Price Proposal Coefficient number. Additional line items added to the sample problem that are not on the coefficient inclusions list shall not be acceptable, and will result in a deficiency.

Sample Coefficients CLIN 0001 – Normal Working Hours 1.35 CLIN 0002 – Other Than Normal Working Hours 1.41 CLIN 0003 – Non-Prepriced Items 1.21 CLIN 0004 – Asbestos and Lead-Based Paint 1.21

Bare Cost Item Totals – (All below totals are applicable to this sample project)

Normal Working Hours Total $ 23,000.00 Other Than Normal Working Hours Total $ 9,500.00 Non-Prepriced Items $ 600.00 Asbestos Abatement Total $ 4,500.00

Sample Solution:

Normal Working Hours: 23,000 x 1.35 = $31,050 Other Than Normal Working Hours: 9,500 x 1.41 = $13,395 Non-Prepriced Items: 600 x 1.21 = $726 Asbestos Abatement Total 4,500 x 1.21 = $5,445

PROJECT TOTAL: $50,616.00

Contractor proposal is $50,616.00

0001 Normal Working Hours: BUILDING CONSTRUCTION Offerors shall perform all functions called out in any Task Order during normal working hours for the unit price sum specified in the Unit Price Book, for any work required to be performed, multiplied times the coefficient factor __________

0002 Other Than Normal Working Hours: BUILDING CONSTRUCTION Offerors shall perform all functions called out in any Task Order during other than normal working hours for the unit price sum specified in the Unit Price Book, for any work required to be performed, multiplied times the coefficient factor __________

0003 Non-Prepriced Items: Overhead and profit rate for all non-prepriced items on task order. Overhead and profit is defined as all items associated with performing the tasks, other than direct labor, equipment, and material costs. Coefficient Factor __________

0004 Asbestos and Lead-Based Paint Abatement - Prepriced Items:

Offerors shall perform all functions called out in any Task Order for the unit price sum specified in the unit price book for any work required to be performed for the removal and disposal of asbestos and lead-based paint, multiplied times the coefficient factor __________

Low price will be evaluated by normalizing the numbers as follows:

0001 will be factored as 85% of the work.

0002 will be factored at 10% of the work.

0003 will be factored at 2.5% of the work.

0004 will be factored at 2.5% of the work.

3. 5152.237-9000 ADJUSTMENT TO CONTRACTOR’S COEFFICIENT

FOR OPTION YEARS (JOB ORDER CONTRACTS) (AFARS)

“Pricing” of option periods, include consideration of any adjustments must be performed by an economic price adjustment for those periods, as follows:

An economic adjustment will be applied to the contract coefficient(s) addressing changes in the cost of labor, equipment and material in the Unit Price Book (UPB) (this includes consideration of Davis Bacon issues). This allows for economic increase or decrease of the prices in the UPB and serves to adjust line item prices by the percentage increase or decrease of the economic trend in the construction market. The economic price adjustment will be based on the Building Cost Index (BCI) found in the Market Trend pages of the Engineering News Record (ENR). The economic adjustment is not applied to the cost items comprising the coefficient. No upward adjustment can apply to task orders awarded prior to the effective date of the adjustment, regardless of the date of commencement of work thereunder.

The adjustment will be made in accordance with the following equation. The resulting revised coefficient(s) must be applied throughout the option year.

N = C + i

Where: N = New Coefficient C = Base Year Coefficient i = Change Factor (% increase or decrease from base to option year)

The Index Factor, i, shall be computed according to the following equation:

i = BCIN – 1

BCIC

Where:

BCIN is the Building Cost Index, published in the ENR, for the month prior to the effective date of the option period.

BCIC is the Building Cost Index, as published in the ENR, on the date of the award of the contract. The BCIC is _________, based on the award date of ____________.

If the BCI or the ENR ceases to be published, the parties shall agree on substitute indices.

EXAMPLE: For the base year of a contract the coefficient is 1.10. The cost to the government for a line item whose cost is $100.00 is 1.10 x $100.00 = $110.00.

Option Year 1. For the first option year the coefficient will be adjusted as follows:

i = BCIN -1 = 3111.86 -1 = 1.0133 -1 = .0133

BCIC 3071.10

The new coefficient would be calculated as follows:

N = C + i = 1.10 + 0.0133 = 1.1133

The above line item under the option period would be 1.1133 x $100.00 = $111.33.

Option Year 2. For the second option year, if the BCI for the month prior to the effective date of the option period was 3002.99, the coefficient will be adjusted as follows:

i = BCIN – 1 = 3062.99 – 1 = .9974 – 1 = -0.0026

BCIC 3071.10

The new coefficient would be calculated as follows:

N = C + i = 1.10 - -0.0026 – 1.0974

The above line item under the option period would be 1.0974 x $100.00 = $109.74.

Note 1. Round calculations for the Change Factor (i) to the nearest ten thousandth.

Note 2. ENR indices for calculation of coefficients for the option years are taken from the McGraw Hill publication, ENR, published during the month prior to the effective date of the option. The ENR Index for the base year (contract award) is the most recent ENR Index published for the month prior to initial contract award.

4. Task Order Limitations (Regulatory Changes)

If regulations change during the course of the contract, the task order limitations may be adjusted accordingly by exercise of a unilateral modification. JOC procedures allow a task order to exceed the $500k maximum if the Contracting Officer determines that it is in the government's best interest. If a task order exceeds $500k, it will require a bilateral agreement between the Contracting Officer and the contractor.

5. Performance and Payment Bonds

Per Army Federal Regulation Supplement (AFARS) 17.9004-2(h), “All cost associated with bonding SHALL be included in the coefficient.”

FACTOR #2, PAST PERFORMANCE: Offerors are required to provide a minimum of three and no more than five examples of Past Performance generally relating to construction, JOC Type Contracts, MATOC Type Contracts, and or SRM Renovation Type Contracts. Each such example must have been completed no more than SIX (6) years before the issue date of the subject solicitation. Projects less than 75% complete shall not be considered. Ultimate determinations regarding percentage of completion will be based on input from the customer / User. (AM#1) Each example of Past Performance will be accompanied by a separate Past Performance Assessment Worksheet, (/AM#1) which shall identify the Project, dollar amount and subject matter of the project, when the project was completed, the name, telephone number, and email address of the User / Customer / Contract Administrative Officer / Project Supervisor, and a copy of any and all project performance evaluations on said project. ACASS, CCASS, and CPARS will be used to validate past performance ratings on Department of Defense contracts and any other past performance information the Government deems necessary to evaluate a contractor’s past performance. The Government may contact references provided as part of Factor 1 – Experience, for information regarding the offeror’s past performance on the project and for the purposes of assessing and verifying the scope of the work performed. It is strongly recommended that offerors provide accurate, current, and complete contact information for references provided in the project descriptions. Firms without a history of past performance will be given a neutral rating.

NOTE: Do not request past performance questionnaires (PPQ) on projects that have final CCASS or ACASS evaluations. If a CCASS or ACASS evaluation exists and a PPQ is provided for the same project, the CCASS or ACASS evaluation will be reviewed as the official past performance record for the project, and the PPQ will not be considered by the Source Selection Board, Contracting Officer, or the Source Selection Authority (if applicable).

The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) is provided at the end of this section.

For USACE or other DoD projects which are underway but do not yet have an interim or final CCASS or ACASS evaluation, one PPQ per contract may be submitted; to be considered, the PPQ shall be signed by the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) for the contract.

ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT

YOUR EVALUATION OF THE CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory Performance meets minimum contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

(U) Unsatisfactory

Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable

No information or did not apply to your contract

Rating will be neither positive nor negative.

Part III. EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS

GENERAL TECHNICAL CRITERIA

a. Material omission(s) may cause the technical proposal to be rejected as unacceptable.

b. 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 in the proposal may result in the offer being found deficient.

c. The Government cannot make award based on a deficient offer. Therefore, receipt of an “UNACCEPTABLE” rating 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.

EVALUATION OF OPTIONS (JUL 1990) – (If applicable) 52.217-5 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).

(End of provision)

a. ELIGIBILITY FOR CONTRACT AWARD. In accordance with the 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.

b. SOURCE SELECTION USING THE LOW-PRICED, TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE PROCESS. An evaluation for acceptability will be performance on each proposal in accordance with FAR 15.101-2(b)(3). The proposal that provides the lowest price and is otherwise technically acceptable in all factors will be selected for award. To be considered technically acceptable, no technical factor in the proposal may be determined to be unacceptable. The failure of a proposal to meet any of the factors will result in a technically unacceptable rating and preclude award.

c. BASIS OF AWARD. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. Tradeoffs are not permitted. Proposals are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using non-cost/price factors.

d. EVALUATION OF THE PRICE PROPOSALS

1. Price will be evaluated and considered but will not be scored or combined with other aspects of the proposal evaluation. The proposed prices will be analyzed for reasonableness. They may also be analyzed to determine whether they are realistic for the work to be performed, reflect a clear understanding of the requirements, and are consistent with the information provided by the Offeror.

Additionally, all offers will be analyzed for unbalanced pricing.

2. The otherwise technically-acceptable, lowest-priced offeror may be required to confirm its price on either a CLIN, element, or total price basis, and/or provide additional information in support of their price, prior to contract award at the Government’s request and discretion.

3. Low price will be evaluated by normalizing the CLIN coefficients as follows:

0001 will be factored as 85% of the work.

0002 will be factored at 10% of the work.

0003 will be factored at 2.5% of the work.

0004 will be factored at 2.5% of the work.

1.349 will be used as a basis to evaluate the low coefficient from multiple offers

Other Award Factors: The Contracting Officer shall consider several factors in the selection process which are important, but not quantified,…
