A "Competitive Range" is a subjective determination of the most highly rated proposals in the event that discussions with Offerors are required. In such an event, the SSA will approve a competitive range of all the most highly rated proposals.

If discussions are held, the Government may engage in a broad give and take with each Offeror in the competitive range, in accordance with FAR 15.306 (d). The Government will provide the Offeror an advance agenda for the discussions. During discussions, the Government may ask the Offeror to further explain its proposal and to answer questions about it.

Upon conclusion of discussions, those Offerors still considered the most highly rated, will be afforded an opportunity to submit their proposal revisions for final evaluation and selection.

In addition to the other proposal information, the Contracting Officer shall use this information in making an affirmative responsibility determination for award to the Successful Offerors, in accordance with FAR Part 9.

Failure to achieve an affirmative responsibility determination will make the Offeror ineligible for award.

6. COST OR PRICING DATA. Offerors are not required to submit Cost or Pricing Data with their offers.

SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS

A. OVERVIEW

The Government will evaluate the proposals in accordance with the evaluation criteria described herein, using the evaluation rating systems outlined for selection procedures. Price information will be evaluated for fairness, reasonableness, and for material unbalancing, as described herein.

Evaluation will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15.

B. BASIS OF AWARD

The Contracting Officer will award a firm fixed-price contract to that responsible Offeror whose proposal conforms to the RFP, is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government, considering the non-price factors described herein, and price (coefficient) as determined by the Source Selection Authority.

All evaluation factors, other than price (coefficient), when combined, are considered significantly more important than the price (coefficient). The intent of this RFP is to obtain the best value proposal. After the Government individually evaluates 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 (coefficient) 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 (coefficient), conforming offer(s), the Contracting Officer/Source Selection Authority must determine that the added value of a more expensive proposal would justify award to that Offeror.

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION FAR 3.104

1. VOLUME 1, FACTOR 1 - MANAGEMENT APPROACH

GENERAL: Offerors shall describe their Plan and Resources for execution of a Performance Oriented Construction Activity contract (POCA). Offerors shall possess an overall management capability to manage and execute POCA task orders. Describe management of work scope systematically and efficiently in order to maximize operational and financial performance, to minimize project risk.

a. Submission Requirements:

PLAN: Describe your plan and capabilities to respond to the Government's notification of a proposed Task Order requirement. Include your plan and capabilities to estimate, prepare, submit, and negotiate Task Order proposals within the range anticipated under the awarded contract; your plan to interface with the Government for informational, collaborative, and historical purposes regarding a wide variety of construction, maintenance and repair projects constructed simultaneously; your plan for task order management under the awarded contract, including your plan for conducting meetings and tracking the high volume of task order projects simultaneously. Limit the Plan description to two (2) pages.

RESOURCES: Provide an organization chart depicting work responsibilities, reporting relationships, lines of communication, and authority to approve new work / changes to current work. Describe your corporate systems and capabilities to maintain the execution and completion of a POCA contract. Demonstrate your corporate reach- back capabilities for successful POCA task order execution, i.e.: plan of action for providing corporate support in a timely manner by providing resources from other parts of the corporation for unusual needs such as increased workload in a compressed timeframe, and how the Government will benefit. Demonstrate the ability to manage/construct (i.e. as many as 25 or more) small to medium-scale construction, maintenance and repair projects (typically in the range of $20,000 - $250,000 each), in different locations, simultaneously within the Capital Region Lakes. Also, demonstrate the ability to respond to multiple concurrent requests for proposal by Government as this will be a common occurrence. Limit the Resources description to two (2) pages.

b. Evaluation Criteria:

PLAN - The Government will review the clarity, adequacy, capabilities and strengths of the Offerors described plan to respond to the Government's notification of a proposed task order requirement. The plan will be evaluated to determine the Offeror's understanding to estimate, prepare, submit and negotiate task order proposals within the range anticipated under the awarded contract, the Offeror' s plan to interface with the Government for informational, collaborative, and historical purposes regarding a wide variety of construction, maintenance, and/or repair projects simultaneously; the Offeror's plan for task order management under the awarded contract, including their plan for conducting meetings and tracking a high volume of task order projects simultaneously. Offerors who describe a clear understanding of the POCA process plan may receive a higher rating for this factor.

RESOURCES - The Government will evaluate the Offerors proposed corporate systems and capabilities to maintain the execution and completion of a POCA contract.

4. VOLUME 1, FACTOR 4- PAST PERFORMANCE

1. The Offeror shall demonstrate past performance through the submission of similar projects, using the Past Performance Assessment Worksheet- (Attachment 1). If the Offeror is a joint venture, provide past performance information for construction projects relevant to each of the proposed roles on this project. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division or unit submitting the offer.

Offeror shall submit a minimum of one (1) and no more than five (5) projects completed or substantially completed within four (4) years from the date of this solicitation that best represents their experience similar to the scope of work for this solicitation. At least one (1) project submitted must be 100% completed. Any additional projects submitted (not to exceed four (4)) must be at least 50% completed. If Offeror is proposing as a Joint Venture (N) and past performance cannot be provided as a N, individual partners may submit his/her past performance information, not to exceed the maximum of five (5) projects total.

2. The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) included in the solicitation (Attachment 2) is provided for the Offeror to submit to the client for each project the Offeror included in its proposal for Factor 4, Past Performance that does not have a final 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, Nikisha Cook, via nikisha.w.cook@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposals PPQ's previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

3. Do not request a PPQ on project(s) that have final evaluations. If a final CPARS evaluation exists and a PPQ is provided for the same project, the CPARS evaluation will be reviewed as the official past performance record for the project, and the PPQ will not be considered by the Source Selection Evaluation Board or the Source Selection Authority.

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

5. Offerors may submit performance recognition documents received within the last four (4) years, such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition relevant to the submitted projects to demonstrate the Offeror's performance capabilities and customer satisfaction.

6. Offerors may submit information on past performance issues and corrective actions taken to prevent these issues from reoccurring. Discuss whether these corrective actions have been implemented on contracts awarded subsequent to the performance issues, the effectiveness of the corrective actions, and POC information for the subsequent contracts.

7. In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluation of past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/ Unique Entity Identifier/DUNS number(s) of team members (Partnership, Joint Venture, Teaming Arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror's proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardees Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

8. Projects will be considered relevant to this procurement if they are similar in complexity, in type, scope, or magnitude. Relevancy is defined as:

a) The highest project relevancy will be considered if Offeror is the Prime contractor of base

SATOC/POCA contract. Provide list of SATOC or POCA task orders awarded under the contract to include contract values in Attachment 1 - Past Performance Assessment Worksheet.

b) The next highest project relevance will be considered if Offeror demonstrated management of contracts that contain multiple and concurrent renovation projects valued from $20,000 to $250,000.

9. The Offeror may provide a supplemental narrative (not project lists), not to exceed two (2) pages, explaining how any corporate past performance that is not directly related to the specific projects above is applicable to this project and how the Government will benefit.

b. RELEVANCY DETERMINATION:

1. The Government will evaluate the Offerors past performance to determine how relevant the past performance is to the project under consideration. Past performance on the projects identified in the project forms will receive more consideration than past performance provided in the supplemental narrative. The Government will place greater value on projects performed as a prime contractor than as a subcontractor, depending upon overall role and relevancy considerations. Federal Government project past performance will not be rated inherently more important than non-Federal Government project past performance.

2. More relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

3. Contracts with lower degrees of relevance will not be as strong of predictors of likely future contract performance success and will typically have less influence on the final past performance confidence rating.

4. Contracts that have little or no relevance typically do not influence the performance confidence rating;

however, any contracts with adverse past performance could reflect larger company-wide concerns and may impact upon the past performance confidence rating.

5. Based on the relevancy of the projects submitted, an overall relevancy determination will be assessed as an interim step prior to establishing a confidence rating. For an overall relevancy determination of "relevant" or higher, the Offeror must demonstrate past performance that meets any defined aspects of relevancy on this project.

c. CONFIDENCE EVALUATION CRITERIA:

1. The SSEB will review the past performance information available, to include CPARS and other past performance information deemed relevant, to determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance confidence assessment. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, the Government will only evaluate past performance of the division or unit submitting the offer. If the Government cannot establish the Offeror' s relevant past performance, it reserves the right to utilize the Past Performance Questionnaire to conduct telephone interviews on any source it deems relevant to the evaluation. Owners/references may be asked to comment on items such as quality of construction, timeliness, management of the work, subcontractor management, including timely payment to subs or suppliers, safety, relations between owner and contractor, level of support for such things as as-built documentation, O&M manuals, training, correcting construction errors, warranty work, etc. The Government will not release the information gathered to the Offeror at any time, in order for the Government to solicit candid, unbiased interview comments. The Government's evaluation is not limited to past performance information on the cited example projects.

2. In determining the performance confidence rating for Past Performance, the degree of relevancy/recency of all of the considered efforts; the overall performance record of the offeror on each contract assessed; number and severity of problems, the demonstrated effectiveness of corrective actions taken (not just planned or promised);

and trend data will be considered. Contracts with higher degrees of relevance will typically have a greater influence on the final performance confidence rating. Contracts with lower degrees of relevance will typically have less influence on the final performance confidence rating however, any contracts with adverse past performance could reflect larger company-wide concerns and may impact upon the past performance confidence rating. Contracts which are comparatively more recent may be better predictors of likely future success than older contracts. The resulting relevant/recent assessment conclusions will then be combined, along with the assessed quality of performance on prior contracts, to arrive at a single performance confidence rating for the Past Performance Factor.

3. The confidence rating will be established based on the past performance of the firms or that of its predecessor, if applicable. An entity may not establish past performance based on the past performance of its key personnel apart from that of the entity. If the Government does not obtain past performance information and cannot establish a past performance record for the Offeror through other sources, a rating of Unknown (Neutral) confidence will be assigned. If negative information is received, the Offeror will be given an opportunity to provide input as required by FAR 15. CPARs that are part of the official record will be utilized as if the Offeror has already had an opportunity to respond.

5. VOLUME 1, FACTOR 5- SAMPLE PROBLEM

1. Offerors shall complete the sample POCA Problem below and provide a cost proposal utilizing the given information below. Use only the sample coefficients and CCI provided. Do not use your coefficients provided under Volume 2 - Price/Cost proposal.
