SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION 00 22 16 - INSTRUCTIONS TO PROPOSERS

The following have been modified: INSTRUCTION TO OFFERORS Section 00 22 16 - Supplementary Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

<AMENDMENT NO. 0001>

Section 00 22 16 - Phase One Evaluation Criteria and Submission Instructions:

1. Overview

1.1. The Fort Worth District intends to award a target of (5) five Small Business Vertical Construction Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOC) primarily for use Fort Johnson (formerly known as Fort Polk) which will predominately support Fort Johnson however, the MATOCs may be used to support other USACE Civil and Military programs and/or in support of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other Southwestern Division (SWD) Interagency & International Support (IIS) customers within SWD geographic boundaries. The maximum task order limitation is $30,000,000 with a minimum task order limitation of $2,500 and an overall capacity of $95,000,000 for all task orders.

1.2. This Small Business MATOC is one of a suite of Small Business Firm Fixed Price/Fixed Price

Incentive Vertical Construction MATOC's envisioned by Fort Worth District, to include additional Small Business MATOC solicitations for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), HUBZone, and competitive 8(a).

1.3. This solicitation will be evaluated under the Two-Phase Design Build Process. In Phase One, interested firms or joint venture entities (referred to as “Offerors”) may submit certain specified performance capability proposals, demonstrating their capability to successfully execute the design-build/design-bid-build construction MATOC resulting from this solicitation. The Government will evaluate responsive proposals based on the Phase One evaluation criteria contained in Section 00 22 16.

1.4. After evaluation of the Phase One proposals, the Government, IAW FAR 36.306(b) will select a target of ten (10) of the most highly qualified offerors to be invited to submit proposals for Phase Two of the solicitation.

1.5. It is not intended for the Offerors to complete and provide price information in Phase One.

1.6. In Phase Two, the selected Offerors will submit a technical and price proposal for a seed or sample project task order. The Government will evaluate the Phase Two proposals in accordance with the criteria described in the Section 00 22 16.

1.7. Firms formally organized as design-build entities and design firms/construction contractors that have associated specifically for this acquisition may submit proposals. Associations may be as joint ventures or as key team subcontractors. Small Business Joint Ventures must be in compliance with 13 CFR 125.8.

1.8. All designs under this contract must be developed under the direct supervision of appropriately licensed professionals for each discipline involved.

1.9. Supplemental Price Breakdown. The Government intends to request a Phase 2 price breakdown of the Contract Line items in excel format submitted through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE). This information will be “other than certified cost or pricing data”. This information will not be needed sooner than three (3) working days after the proposal submission due date. This information may be required for the initial Phase 2 proposal and, if requested, for any revised proposals. This information is not an opportunity for an Offeror to revise its non-price or price proposal.

2. BASIS OF AWARD:

2.1. Award will be made based on the best overall (i.e., best value) proposals determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the evaluation factors contained in Phase One, Section 00 22 16 and Phase Two, Section 00 22 16. To receive consideration for award, offerors must be evaluated and selected in Phase One to proceed in Phase Two, and upon completion of Phase Two, offerors whose proposal(s) represent the best value to the Government will be selected for award. The evaluation of Phase Two proposals will be determined using the Trade-off Process in accordance with FAR 15.101. This process permits trade-offs among cost or price and non-cost factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal. Offerors are cautioned that MATOC awards and seed (if applicable) project task order award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price offered. The source selection authority (SSA) will give due consideration to all the factors and their relative order of importance but reserves the right to make an award to other than the lowest priced offeror, or to other than the offeror with the highest technical rating or to reject all offers--if the SSA determines that to do so would result in the best value to the government.

If there is a lower priced, conforming offer(s), the SSA must determine that the added value of a more expensive proposal for the initial task order would justify award to that Offeror. The Offeror receiving the first award will receive either the task order for the seed project, if funds are available, or a minimum guaranteed task order with the award of the basic IDIQ. All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly more important than price.

2.2. The source selection process will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15 and FAR

Subpart 36.3. Offers will be evaluated using the criteria listed below to include Phase One and Phase Two, Section 00 22 16. Non-compliance with the solicitation requirements may raise serious questions regarding an Offeror’s technical ability or past performance and may be groups to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award. Failure to include all information requested may adversely affect the evaluation. A proposal that merely reiterates or promises to accomplish the requirements of the solicitation will be considered unacceptable. A proposal that is orderly and sufficiently documented will be easy for the Government to understand and will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation.

3. EVALUATION APPROACH:

3.1. All proposals will be evaluated on the basis of the factors stated in the solicitation for each respective phase. By submitting a proposal in response to this solicitation, offerors agree to comply with all terms and conditions contained in the solicitation. In this solicitation, the words “offer”, and “proposal” are used interchangeably. (See definition of “offer” at FAR 2.101). Except for any portions of the offeror’s proposal incorporated into the resulting contract by reference, the terms and conditions included in the solicitation, including any amendments, shall take precedence over the offeror’s proposal.

3.2. Proposal Evaluation: The Government intends to make award after completion of Phase Two evaluations without holding discussions with offerors. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Source Selection Authority or the Contracting Officer determines them to be necessary. Therefore, offers are encouraged to include their best technical terms and complete past performance information in the initial offer(s).

3.3. Source Selection Decision: The Source Selection Authority (SSA), independently exercising prudent business judgment, will make the source selection decision based on the proposals that meet the requirements of the Government as described herein.

3.4. APPLICABILITY: This section is applicable to offerors submitting proposals in response to the solicitation for Phase One.

3.5. NOTICE: Offerors must be selected to proceed with Phase Two of the solicitation to be considered for award. Offerors who are not selected to participate in Phase Two are ineligible for a MATOC award.

3.6. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

3.6.1. For submissions with page limitations, the pages furnished for organizational purposes only, such as a “Table of Contents” or divider tabs, are not included in the page limitation.

3.6.2. Failure to include all required information may cause the proposal to be considered non-responsive and not considered further for award.

3.6.3. Phase One proposals shall be organized by sections indicated in the table below:

Base MATOC- Phase One Proposal Evaluation Factors

4. PHASE ONE EVALUATION PROCEDURES/RATING SYSTEM

4.1 EVALUATION PROCEDURES

4.1.1. A Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will evaluate responsive proposals and identify strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies for each evaluation factor. The evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal, proposal corrections and in the case of past performance, any information obtained from other sources, e.g., past performance information. The SSEB will not consider any proposal incorporated by reference, except as expressly allowed by this solicitation.

4.1.2. Offerors are cautioned to put forth their best efforts for the submission and to furnish all information clearly to allow the Government to determine their performance capability. Offerors should not assume that they would have an opportunity to clarify or correct anything in their proposal after submitting.

4.1.3. The Government reserves the right to allow proposal revisions in accordance with FAR

15.306, Exchanges with Offerors after Receipt of Proposals, if deemed necessary to determine the most highly qualified Offerors to proceed into Phase Two.

4.1.4. After evaluation, the SSEB will assign an adjectival rating to each factor. The ratings will reflect the Government’s confidence in each Offeror’s ability to perform the requirements.

Based upon the ratings, the Government will select the most highly rated offerors to participate in Phase Two of the solicitation.

4.2 EVALUATION AND RATING SYSTEM

4.2.1 General: The Government will review the proposals and rate the quality of each evaluation factor. The SSEB will rate each proposal against the specified evaluation criteria in the Solicitation requirements.

4.2.2 Review Write-up: The Government will support each rating with a narrative, separately listing all strengths or advantages, weaknesses or disadvantages, deficiencies, and required clarifications.

4.2.3 Rating System: After listing proposal strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies, the SSEB will assign an adjectival rating of "Outstanding", "Good", "Acceptable", "Marginal", or "Unacceptable" to each factor except Past Performance. The rating will reflect the Government's assessment of each Offeror's technical ability, as demonstrated in its proposal, to perform the requirements stated in the RFP.

4.3 TECHNICAL RATINGS DEFINITIONS:

4.3.1 Findings Definitions:

Deficiency. A deficiency is a material failure of a proposal to meet a government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. See FAR 15.001.

Weakness. A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See

FAR 15.001.

Significant Weakness. A flaw in the proposal that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001

Strength. An aspect of a proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Significant Strength. An aspect of a proposal that has appreciable merit or appreciably exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be appreciably advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Uncertainty. An aspect of a proposal for which the intent of the Offeror is unclear (e.g., more than one-way to interpret the offer or inconsistencies in the proposal indicating that there may have been an error, omission, or mistake).

6. VOLUME 1, TAB B – FACTOR 1 – PAST PERFORMANCE

6.1. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

6.1.1. Attachments 2-4: General Instructions. The Offeror and their designer shall each demonstrate past performance through the submission of similar projects, using Attachment 2 Past Performance Projects Table, Attachment 3 Construction

- Past Performance Assessment Worksheet, and Attachment 4 Designer - Past Performance Assessment Worksheet. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division or unit submitting the offer.

Design firms may list prime contractors they have worked for or Government, private or commercial customers. If projects were design-build, identify them as such.

6.1.1.1 Attachment 2: Past Performance Projects Table. Both the prime contractor and the design firm(s) shall each submit up to ten (10) projects on the Past Performance Projects Table (Attachment 2). Attachment 2 may be formatted to an 8.5”x11” or 11”x17” page size. The Construction Projects Table and Design Projects Table within Attachment 2 may be provided on separate pages, with each table sized to fit on a single page. There is no page limitation for Attachment 2.

6.1.1.2 Attachments 3 and 4: Past Performance Assessment Worksheets (Design and

Construction). Both the prime contractor and design firm shall submit a Past Performance Assessment Worksheet (Attachment 3 or 4) for each project submitted on the Past Performance Projects Table (Attachment 2). Limit Attachments 3 and 4 to two (2) pages for each project.

6.1.1.3 Attachment 5: Construction IDIQ Experience Table. An Offeror with past performance on Construction Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, such as a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC), Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC), etc., shall demonstrate the experience using the Construction IDIQ Experience Table (Attachment 5). Attachment 5 may be formatted to an 8.5”x11” or 11x17 page size. The prime contractor shall provide experience on Construction IDIQ contracts with task orders awarded within six (6) years from the issue date of this solicitation; for Construction IDIQ contracts awarded more than six (6) years prior, limit the task order information to task orders awarded within the six (6) years window. The submitted contracts for Attachment 5 are in addition to the projects submitted under paragraph 6.1.1.1. In order for the experience to be considered relevant for the prime contractor, the offeror must be the IDIQ prime contract holder, not a subcontractor performing on the contract. The Construction IDIQ Experience Table is applicable only to the entity(ies) identified as the “Offeror”.

6.1.2. Attachment 6: Past Performance Questionnaires. The Past Performance

Questionnaire (PPQ) included in the solicitation (Attachment 6) is provided for the Offeror to submit to the client for each design project and each construction project the Offeror included 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. Correct phone numbers and email addresses for the client point of contact must be included on each PPQ. Completed PPQs shall be submitted with the proposal, however, if the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, 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). 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 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, Mr. Demetrius Brooks via e-mail at Demetrius.D.Brooks@usace.army.mil prior to the proposal closing date.

6.1.2.1 Re-use of PPQs. Offerors are permitted to include completed PPQs previously submitted for other solicitations in lieu of requesting new PPQs from clients. In these cases, the Offeror shall submit each PPQ in its entirety to be considered for evaluation. Only referencing the solicitation and PPQ previously submitted for other solicitations without including the completed PPQ in the proposal submission shall not be evaluated or considered. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

6.1.2.2 PPQs used only in absence of CPARS. Offerors should not request PPQ on projects that have interim or final CPARS evaluations. If an interim or final CPARS evaluation exists, and a PPQ is provided for the same project, the CPARS evaluation will supersede the PPQ for evaluation as the official past performance record. If a CPARS record and PPQ exist for a particular project and the ratings conflict; the CPARS record shall govern.

6.1.3. Other Sources of Past Performance Information for Submission. Offerors may submit, but are not required to submit, additional past performance information. There is no page limitation for additional sources of past performance information.

6.1.3.1 Corrective Actions. Offerors may submit information on past performance issues and corrective actions taken to prevent these issues from reoccurring. Submittals should discuss whether these corrective actions have been implemented on contracts awarded subsequent to the performance issues, the effectiveness of the corrective actions, and contact information for the subsequent contracts.

6.1.3.2 Awards. Offerors may submit performance recognition documents received within the last six (6) years from the date of this solicitation such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of recommendation or commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition relevant to the submitted projects to demonstrate the Offeror’s performance capabilities and customer satisfaction.

6.1.4. Burden Rests with Offeror. The Government may elect to consider data from other sources. However, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

6.2. EVALUATION CRITERIA:

6.2.1. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s record of past performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the solicitation projects to be procured. The aspects of the past performance evaluation consist of recency, relevancy, and the overall confidence rating. Each recent project submitted will be evaluated to determine its relevancy based on similarity of size, scope, and complexity to the solicited requirement. The Government will then review Offerors’ performance on recent, relevant projects to determine an overall confidence rating at the factor level.

6.2.2. RECENCY DETERMINATION: The recency determination will assess how recent each submitted project is. The Government will consider contract or task order has been completed within six (6) years of the solicitation issuance date to be recent. If a project is not recent, the Government will not evaluate it further.

NOTE: For design, the Government only accepts completed designs. For design- bid-build design contracts, the Government will allow design contracts completed within six years of the solicitation date. For design-build projects, the Government will consider for design: (1) the design has been completed within 6 years of the solicitation date (status of construction is not important if this project is only being considered for design), or (2) the design is completed, and the DB construction contract was completed within 6 years of the solicitation issue date.

6.2.3. RELEVANCY DETERMINATION:

6.2.3.1 The Government will evaluate the Offeror's past performance on recent projects to determine relevance of the projects to this solicitation. Offerors are not required to demonstrate experience in all aspects of relevancy. It is not intended for a single project to meet all aspects of relevancy. Projects will be considered relevant to this procurement if they are similar in type, scope, complexity, and magnitude to the projects to be completed under the anticipated MATOC that is the subject of this solicitation. Projects anticipated under this procurement will consist of both new construction and renovation with the majority anticipated to be renovation.

6.2.3.2 The portfolio of projects identified on the Past Performance Projects Table

(Attachment 2) and described in the Past Performance Assessment Worksheets (Attachments 3 and 4) will be utilized to evaluate relevancy for design and relevancy for construction, respectively.

6.2.3.3 Types of Relevant Projects. New construction or renovation of the following facility types within a range of $1 million to $30 million in project value will be considered relevant:

6.2.3.3.1 Aircraft Maintenance Hangars,

6.2.3.3.2 Headquarter Building/Office Buildings,

6.2.3.3.3 Child/Youth Development Centers,

6.2.3.3.4 Physical Fitness Centers,

6.2.3.3.5 Operations Centers,

6.2.3.3.6 General Purpose Maintenance Shops,

6.2.3.3.7 Barracks,

6.2.3.3.8 Vehicle Maintenance Shops,

6.2.3.3.9 Vehicle Access Control Point/Checkpoints,

6.2.3.3.10 Wash Racks, or

6.2.3.3.11 Other.

6.2.3.4 Additional Consideration. The following benchmarks will be used to assist in determining whether a contractor has established a wide variety of experience:

6.2.3.4.1 Multi-discipline project experience with at least four (4) different facility types,

6.2.3.4.2 Experience with projects in each of the three (3) Project Value ranges ($1 million to $7.5 million, $7.5 million to $25 million, and $25 million to $30 million, or

6.2.3.4.3 Multi-discipline new construction or renovation projects with at least three (3) of the project attributes: new HVAC/HVAC renovation, new roof/roof replacement, new interior buildout/interior renovation, or new life safety/fire protection renovations.

6.2.3.4.4 Projects performed as a prime contractor rather than as a subcontractor,

6.2.3.4.5 Design Build projects,

6.2.3.4.6 Construction IDIQ contract experience as the prime contractor,

6.2.4. CONFIDENCE EVALUATION:

6.2.4.1 The confidence rating assesses the risks associated with each Offeror's proposal, likelihood of success in performing the requirements stated in the solicitation based on the Offeror's demonstrated performance on recent contracts. SSEB members and the SSA may use personal knowledge or information from other sources in its evaluation of an Offeror's past performance, provided such information is consistent with the established evaluation criteria of the RFP. Offerors that have no relevant performance record will be given a neutral confidence rating.

6.2.4.2 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. 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. Projects 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 have impact upon the past performance confidence rating.

6.2.4.3 Because this solicitation is for a MATOC, a wide variety of positive past performance experience may result in a greater confidence rating. The following benchmarks will be used to assist in determining whether a contractor has established a wide variety of experience:

6.2.4.3.1 Multi-discipline project experience with at least four (4) different facility types,

6.2.4.3.2 Experience with projects in each of the three (3) Project Value ranges ($1 million to $7.5 million, $7.5 million to $25 million, and $25 million to $30 million.

6.2.4.4 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 Offerors relevant past performance, it reserves the right to utilize the PPQs 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, level of support for such things as as-built documentation, O&M manuals, training, correcting construction errors, warranty work, etc. The Government's evaluation is not limited to past performance information on the cited example projects.

6.2.4.5 In determining the performance confidence rating for Past Performance, the degree of relevancy of all 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 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.

6.2.4.6 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.

6.2.4.7 In the case of firms for which there is no information on past contract performance, or where past contract performance information is not available, or has been determined not to be recent or relevant, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past contract performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). In this case, the firm’s past performance is unknown and assigned a performance confidence rating of “neutral.”

Although the Government may not rate an offeror that lacks recent, relevant past performance favorably or unfavorably with regard to past performance, the Government may determine that a “Substantial Confidence” or “Satisfactory Confidence” past performance rating is worth more than a “Neutral Confidence” past performance rating.

Failure to meet submission requirements may also result in a neutral confidence assessment rating for the past performance submission.

6.2.4.8 If negative information is received, the Offeror will be given an opportunity to provide input as required by FAR 15.306(b)(1)(i). CPARS that are part of the official record will be utilized as if the Offeror has already had an opportunity to respond.

6.2.4.9 The Government shall utilize CPARS, the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity

Information System (FAPIIS), and any other contractor performance information deemed relevant, and within six (6) years of completion for construction and architect-engineer contracts to assess confidence in the Offeror's ability to perform in accordance with FAR 42.150

6.2.4.10 Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through CPARS, using all CAGE/UEI number of team members (Partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/ affiliate) identified in the offeror's proposal, inquires of owner representative(s), FAPIIS, Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.
