Part III. EVALUATION OF OFFEROR PROPOSALS

1. 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.

2. SOURCE SELECTION USING THE LOW-PRICE, TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE

PROCESS. An evaluation for acceptability will be performed 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 acceptability standards for non-cost factors will result in a technically unacceptable rating and preclude award.

3. 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.

4. EVALUATION OF THE PRICE PROPOSALS

a. 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.

b. 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.

5. EVALUATION OF THE TECHNICAL PROPOSAL. The technical proposal will be evaluated based on the criteria identified in the individual attachments for the factors.

6. GENERAL TECHNICAL CRITERIA

a. Material omission(s) may cause the technical proposal to be 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 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 offerors and all deficiencies are remedied in a revised proposal.

TAB 1: FACTOR #1, CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE: Demonstrate the construction experience of the offeror on projects that are same/similar in size, scope, and complexity to that described in the solicitation for same/similar construction type projects such as multi-story construction of large hotels or college campus style dormitories of at least 250,000 Gross Square Feet (GSF) will satisfy this solicitation relevancy requirements. If using subcontractors as team members in demonstrating construction experience describe the roles the prime contractor and sub-contractors will play in the project and the percentage and type of work each will perform.

The Contractor shall complete a minimum of three (3), but no more than five (5), “Construction Experience Information” forms, (See Attachment 2), in response to this factor.

If the offeror is a Joint Venture (JV) and specialized construction experience cannot be provided as a JV, each partner can submit no more than five (5) projects each. All blocks must be filled in and all data should be accurate, current, and complete. At least one (1) of the same/similar projects submitted must be valued at over $75,000,000 as described above and must be at least substantially complete * within the last 6 years as of the closing date of this RFP.

(*) SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE as defined for this solicitation: “A project is considered substantially complete when the facility is sufficient for occupancy, for the use of which it is intended, as of the closing date of this RFP.”

If any of the information required is not included in the form then the contractor may be considered nonresponsive and evaluated as “UNACCEPTABLE”.

CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE WILL BE EVALUATED BASED ON THE

FOLLOWING CRITERIA:

The Government will review the project construction experience of the offeror on projects provided in response to the Construction Experience Factor. Offerors must meet all of the following minimum acceptability standards to receive an “ACCEPTABLE” on this factor:

(1) Offeror must have at least three (3) projects that are same/similar in size, scope, and complexity to that of the work described in this solicitation;

(2) At least one (1) of the same/similar type projects submitted must be valued at over

$75,000,000 and be at least 250,000 GSF, and must be at least substantially complete * within the last 6 years as of the closing date of this RFP.

Failure to demonstrate the minimally acceptability standards under this factor will result in an “UNACCEPTABLE” rating and may be eliminated from further consideration for contract award.

TAB 2: FACTOR #2, PAST PERFORMANCE: For each project submitted under the Construction Experience factor that does not have an evaluation in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), which includes evaluations submitted in ACASS, CCASS, and CPARS, Offerors shall forward a copy of the Past Performance Evaluation Questionnaire (PPQ) included in the solicitation to the points of contact responsible for monitoring performance under those projects. Completed PPQs shall be submitted by the Offeror with the proposal. If unable to obtain a completed PPQ for a project timely the Offeror shall complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). If a PPQ is received on a project that has an evaluation in PPIRS, the PPQ will not be considered.

The Government may contact references provided as part of the factor for Construction 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. Offerors shall provide accurate, current, and complete contact information for references provided in the project descriptions.

If any Offeror has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division, unit or team member submitting the offer.

If the Offeror is a joint venture, the offeror shall not provide more than five (5) Past Performance Questionnaires (Attachment 3) total on projects demonstrating construction experience relevant to their role on this project. Any offeror under the joint venture can submit a past performance questionnaire as long as the total for the joint venture does not exceed the maximum limitation.

The Government may contact references provided, for information regarding the Offeror’s past performance on the submitted project(s) and for the purposes of assessing and verifying the scope of the work performed. The Offeror is to ensure correct/current phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted with your proposal. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the Offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ which will provide contact and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact, Vernon Valigura via email at Vernon.Valigura@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other solicitations. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rest with the Offeror.

Do not request past performance questionnaires on projects that have final CCASS, or CPARS evaluations. If a past performance questionnaire is received on a project where a final CCASS, or CPARS evaluation exists, the CCASS, or CPARS evaluation will serve as the official rating of record for evaluation purposes and the PPQ will not be evaluated.

Projects cited on the Factor 1 – Construction Experience, Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 2) shall be completed, significantly underway (at least 50% construction progress completed), or construction substantially complete within six (6) years preceding the date of this solicitation.

In addition, the solicitation will establish the criteria for recency and relevancy. In establishing what is relevant for this acquisition, present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

PAST PERFORMANCE WILL BE EVALUATED BASED ON THE FOLLOWING

CRITERIA:

The Government will review, as a minimum, the past performance information for the projects submitted for Factor 1, Construction Experience. The Government will also review recent and relevant evaluations in the CPARS as well as any other source deemed appropriate by the Government. In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom 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 and shall be considered “acceptable.” In addition, the Government will review the past performance information for the projects submitted for Factor 1, Construction Experience for recency and relevancy per the below evaluation criteria.

One of the following ratings will be assigned:

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 below). The offeror has received satisfactory or higher on the overall rating on the PPQ or CPARS with an overall rating. CPARS which do not include an overall rating may not have any unsatisfactory ratings.

Unacceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom 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 and shall be rated “acceptable.” The Government will review the past performance information for the projects submitted for Factor 1, Construction Experience and assign a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable, as defined above. The Government will also review recent and relevant evaluations in the PPIRS as well as any other source deemed appropriate by the Government.

RECENCY EVALUATION CRITRIA. Projects will be considered recent to this procurement if they have been completed or substantially underway within the past six (6) years of the date of this solicitation.

RELEVANCY EVALUATION CRITERIA. The Government will considered projects submitted for Factor 1 – Construction Experience relevant to this procurement if they are determined to be same/similar in size, complexity to that described in the solicitation for same/similar construction type projects such as multi-story construction of large hotels or college campus style dormitories of at least $100,000,000 and 250,000 Gross Square Feet (GSF) will satisfy this solicitation relevancy requirements.

If any negative past performance information is received to which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond, the Offeror will be given an opportunity to provide rebuttal.

FAR 15.101-2(b)(1) requires if the KO determines that a small business' past performance is not acceptable, the matter is referred to the SBA for a COC determination.

Failure to demonstrate the minimally acceptable criteria under this factor may result in an “UNACEPTABLE” rating and may be eliminated from further consideration for contract award.
