2. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.

In accordance with FAR Clause 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisitions, the Government reserves the right to make award without discussions. Therefore, offerors should submit their best technical and price terms in their initial offer and not automatically assume that they will have an opportunity to participate in discussions or 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.

In accordance with FAR 15.306(c)(1) and FAR Clause 52.215-1(f)(4), Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisitions, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

2.1 Contractor Team Arrangements. The Government will recognize the integrity and validity of contractor teaming arrangements, provided the arrangements are identified and company relationships are fully disclosed in the offer.

As further described in paragraph 2.3 below, the Government will only evaluate the information submitted by the legal entity with whom the Government would enter into a contract. This is the legal entity represented in Tab E, as registered in System for Award Management (SAM) and identified by its specifically assigned CAGE Code.

This is the legal entity represented in Tab E, as registered in System for Award Management (SAM) and identified by its specifically assigned CAGE Code. However, IAW CFR 125.8(e), the Government will also evaluate experience and past performance submitted by the individual firms that make up a joint venture.

2.4 Notwithstanding the specific requirements of any other area of the RFP, information submitted about any company other than the offeror, whether an affiliated company, subsidiary (including wholly owned subsidiaries), or subcontractor, WILL NOT be evaluated for any factor. Successor entities shall clearly demonstrate in Volume I, Tab A of their proposal the official legal means performed to transform the former Predecessor Company to its current Successor, legal business entity. Examples of substantive documentation may include but is not limited to Articles of Incorporation, Joint Venture Agreements, Novation Agreements, and Merger Documentation.

"Successor" means an entity that has replaced a predecessor by acquiring the assets and carrying out the affairs of the predecessor under a new name (often through acquisition or merger).

Note: The term ''successor'' does not include new offices/ divisions of the same company or a company that only changes its name.

2.5 Offerors shall submit their proposal in accordance with the Section 3. General Proposal Format, paragraph 3.5.

2.6 Proposals are due no later than the time and date specified in Block 13 of Standard Form 1442.

2.7 Basis for Award: Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of technically acceptable proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors, after appropriate consideration is given to the two (2) evaluation factors: (1) Price, (2) Past Performance. The Source Selection Board shall review all proposals for acceptability and provide the Contracting Officer with a written technical analysis of each Offeror’s proposal. Proposals are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non-cost/price factors. Tradeoffs are NOT permitted. The Government reserves the right to reject any and all offers.

Submissions received after the deadline will be considered late and as such will be processed in accordance with FAR 15.208.

In an effort to reduce paperwork and cost, ALL proposals shall be submitted electronically via the DoD SAFE website at https://safe.apps.mil/ In order for an outside user (the offeror) to submit a proposal for the solicitation, they must receive a drop-off request from an inside user (the government). When the inside user generates a drop-off request for you, you will receive an email with a link to submit your drop-off. Optionally, the Government may provide you with a request code. In that case, click the Drop-off button on the SAFE home page and enter the Request code.

To request and receive a drop-off for this solicitation, the offeror must email the following at least two (2) business days before the proposal due date.

Do not assume that electronic communication is instantaneous – in fact, it can take several minutes or even hours in some cases. Please make allowances for delays in transmittal. If an electronic submission is sent minutes before the deadline but notification is not actually received in the recipients’ email inboxes until after the deadline, the submission will be considered late.

If the principal’s obligations are not met, the bond assures payment, to the extent stipulated, of any loss sustained by the obligee.”

1. The solicitation number.

2. The name, address, and telephone and facsimile numbers of the offeror (and electronic address if available);

3. A statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation and agreement to furnish any or all items upon which prices are offered at the price set opposite each item;

Bonds shall therefore be executed in the name of the legal entity, whether a joint venture, partnership or the Prime Contractor of an informal teaming arrangement, with whom the government would enter into a contract for a successful offeror. The entity named on the bond must be able to acquire bonding capacity on its own merits, and not as the result of indemnification from a subcontractor or third party.

The NIST score is a responsiveness item. Bids/offers from contractors with a NIST score in SPRS will be considered responsive and evaluated/considered for award. Those without a NIST score in SPRS will be deemed NON-RESPONSIVE and thus not evaluated/considered for award.

4. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS & EVALUATION FACTORS

VOLUME II: TAB A — VOLUME 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE

4.1 SUBMISSION/MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

4.1.1 Past performance refers to the quality of recent and relevant project experience from the owner’s perspective.

The offeror shall complete and provide a Past Performance Assessment worksheet (Attachment 2) on no more than five (5) projects. Projects submitted under this factor must first be deemed recent and relevant. For any project without a CPARS the offeror will need to complete the Past Performance questionnaire. (Attachment 1)

4.1.1.1 Relevant: The minimum requirement for each project to be considered of similar size, scope, or complexity is to meet both criterial “a” and “b” below:

a. The project must be of a dollar value equal to or greater than $10,000,000.00 and

b. It must be for the construction of a DoD or Commercial Air Traffic Control Tower.

4.1.1.2 Recent: Projects of similar size, scope, and complexity that must have been completed (fully designed and constructed) within the past 6 years from the date of the solicitation, except one project may be submitted that is currently under construction and at least 50% completed.

4.1.2 Individual project Past Performance Questionnaires shall only include information relevant to the past performance evaluation. 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 call and confirm information provided by the offeror on the Past Performance Questionnaire with the points of contact, to the extent necessary to conduct a meaningful evaluation. The Government reserves the right to interview other individuals if the point of contact is not available.

4.1.3 The Government may contact sources other than those provided by the offeror for information with respect to past performance. These other sources may include but are not limited to: Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), other Government sources, and interviews with organizations or individuals familiar with the offeror’s performance.

4.1.4 Offerors shall utilize the Past Performance Assessment Questionnaire in Attachment 1.

4.1.5 If the offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant project experience should be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity, or the individual firms that make up the Joint Venture. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects. Experience of proposed subcontractors to be utilized on this project will not be considered.

4.1.6 That Government is not limited in evaluation of past performance to only the projects submitted by the offeror but may review/evaluate other recent and relevant projects also.

4.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

4.2.1 The Government will consider past performance of the prime construction contractor. If a firm has multiple functions or divisions, the Government will only evaluate the past performance of the unit or division submitting the offer. Where the Government views an offeror’s role, or that of its team members, if any, as not significant or as not clearly defined, the Government reserves the right to view this lack of involvement, or clarity, as a risk which may impact an offeror’s rating for this factor despite the quality of recent, relevant past performance information.

4.2.2 Past performance shall be initially evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s present/past performance is recent, and relevant to the effort to be acquired.

See paragraph 4.1.1.1 and 4.1.1.2

4.2.3 The Government will evaluate ONLY recent and relevant past performance based on the elements listed below to assign an overall past performance rating of acceptable/unacceptable. Offerors without a record of recent and relevant past performance will be rated “acceptable.”See note under “DEFINITIONS OF KEY EVALUATION TERMS FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS ACQUISITION” below.

4.2.4 Second, the past performance evaluation shall determine how well the offeror performed on the prior contracts.

The contractor shall have no “unsatisfactory” in criteria 1-6, and no “marginal” ratings in criteria 1-3 (below) in the Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS): quality, schedule, management, utilization of small business, regulatory compliance, and safety.

(1) Quality of Construction. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the quality of the actual construction undertaken and the offeror’s ability to maintain quality control and accuracy of quality control documentation.

(3) Management. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the offeror’s ability to manage resources and key personnel.

(6) Safety. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the contractor’s safety program or efforts.

4.2.5 Past Performance submitted by an offeror using the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) should be rated at a minimum “Satisfactory” for all sections cover in section1-7 of the PPQ.

The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) included in the solicitation (Attachment 1) is provided for the Offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project the Offeror included in its proposal for Factor 1, Past Performance that does not have an interim or final Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluation or is a non-Federal Government project. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed PPQ 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 contract and client information for the respective project(s).

Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If any negative past performance information is received to which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond, the contractor will be given an opportunity to provide rebuttal. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, Alfredo Avila, via e-mail at: alfredo.avila@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date.
