1.6.1 To effectively and equitably evaluate proposals, the Government must receive information sufficiently detailed and in the order described below that clearly describe an Offeror's capabilities. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to submit complete proposal information and documents that are fully responsive to the submission requirements of the solicitation. Offerors are responsible for organizing submitted material sequentially under tabs and numbered pages to facilitate evaluation. Materials not organized under the appropriate tabs and in the sequence of subparagraphs set out below, may easily be overlooked during evaluations, possibly affecting an Offeror’s rating.

2.0 Volume I - Past Performance of the Prime Contractor and Technical Approach.

Submit Past Performance Information of the Prime Contractor and Technical Approach in Volume I, under the tabs indicated below and number all pages. Note: Do not provide any cost information in Volume I.

2.1 VOLUME I TAB-A: Past Performance of the Prime Contractor. The Prime Contractor (Offeror) signed on the SF 33 is to provide its past performance information regarding recent and relevant efforts and the quality of those efforts to demonstrate its accomplishments and capabilities to successfully perform and accomplish the effort required by this RFP. There are two aspects to the past performance information to be submitted: (a) Relevant Company Effort and (b) Quality of Past Performance.

Where the word "project” and/or “effort(s)" appears in RFP Sections L and M, it is understood to mean an operation and maintenance (O&M) single contract(s). Examples of project effort submitted by Offeror may be projects performed for a State or Federal Government agency or for a commercial or private sector customer.

Where the word “recent” appears it is understood to mean an O&M type project for which the contract is 100% complete or for which the base year is 100% complete and the effort is being performed under the award of an option. All project examples are to have been completed or the effort being performed under a current option within six years (6) years of the RFP issue date.

“Relevant” past performance information is one indicator of an Offeror’s ability to perform the contract successfully. Where the word “relevant” appears it is understood to mean that a single project effort submitted is similar and logically connected to the context of this solicitation in terms of type of scope (dollar value, size, project type) and magnitude of effort and complexities as the work described in this solicitation. The description of work is found in RFP Section C DESCRIPTIONS/WORK STATEMENT TECHNICAL PROVISIONS (TP’s).

2.1.1 (a) RELEVANT COMPANY EFFORT. The Offeror is to submit no more than five (5) examples of its most “recent” and “relevant” project efforts performed as a prime contractor to demonstrate its company’s accomplishments on contracts similar to the effort required in this solicitation. If the Offeror submits more than five projects, only the first five projects shall be evaluated. For each “recent” and “relevant” project example, the Offeror shall furnish the information specified below. If the Offeror is submitting “task order type projects”, each single task order project shall be submitted on a separate project data sheet. Do not combine tasks orders and present them as one entire project. As a minimum, provide the following information:

(1) Company Name

(2) Name of Project

(3) Location of Project

(4) Owner

(5) General Scope of Project/Contract as it relates to this solicitation

(6) Your Role on this Contract (Prime, Subcontractor, Joint Venture Partner) and the type of effort your company self-performed.

(7) Contract Type: (for example Firm Fixed-Price, Cost Plus Fixed Fee, Cost Plus Award Fee, Hybrid)

(8) Contract Award Date (Provide Month and Year); Completion Date of the Base

Year:(Provide Month/Year);

(9) If this contract is being performed under an option year the completion date of the current option being performed: (Provide Month/Year)

(10) Termination or Liquidated Damages Information; Comments regarding any known performance deemed unacceptable to the customer or not in accordance with the contract terms and conditions.

(b) QUALITY OF PAST PERFORMANCE.

1) The Offeror shall submit evidence of the quality of its past performance on projects submitted in paragraph 2.2.1 (a). The Offeror shall provide a completed contractor performance evaluation, whether annual or final, found in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (www.ppirs.gov). If a completed contractor performance evaluation does not exist in PPIRS (example, non-U.S. Government projects), the Offeror shall provide a completed Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attachment 1). If, at time of evaluation, a completed contractor performance evaluation exists in PPIRS that conflicts with a submitted PPQ, the completed contractor performance evaluation will govern.

2) Any past performance surveys/assessment/evaluation forms, other than PPIRS or the PPQ Form provided at the end of this section, are unacceptable submissions by the Offeror to evidence the quality of its past performance and will not be considered or evaluated.

3) Offerors shall not incorporate PPQs by reference that were previously submitted for other RFPs. 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 rests with the Offeror.

4) If an Offeror has been required to take corrective action for any substandard performance, experienced other performance problems such as cost overruns, extended performance periods, numerous warranty calls, etc., the Offeror should explain the circumstances and the corrective actions taken.

5) If a client will only provide completed PPQ’s and/or PPIRS directly to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, then ensure the client submits the PPQ and/or PPIRS before the proposal due date using the following electronic mailing address:

nicalus.a.abner@usace.army.mil PPQ’s and/or PPIRS received after the proposal receipt date will not be considered timely and will not be included in the Offeror’s proposal.

2.1.1.1 Joint Venture Submission Requirements. Offerors submitting proposals as a Joint Venture (JV) shall obtain a DUNS number and be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) as the offering Joint Venture. The Offeror must provide up to five (5) “recent”, “relevant” projects performed by the JV that reflect the JV’s ability to perform the work required in this solicitation as required by Paragraph 2.1.1 subparagraphs (a) and (b).

2.1.1.2 If the Offeror cannot provide a sufficient number of projects as the JV to meet the requirement, the Offeror must provide those “recent”, “relevant” projects that it has performed as the JV, and then supplement the record with additional “recent”, “relevant” projects performed by each JV member in their individual capacities. In such instance, each JV member must satisfy the requirement, to include any performed as the JV.

2.1.1.3 If the JV has no “recent”, “relevant” projects performed by the JV, then each member of the JV must provide up to five (5) “recent”, “relevant” projects performed by the JV member that reflect the JV member’s ability to perform the work required in this solicitation as required by Paragraph 2.1.1 subparagraphs (a) and (b).

2.1.2 Verification: The Government reserves the right to verify the past performance record of cited projects or other recent projects not submitted by reviewing the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), or other Government appraisal systems or to interview owner or references. The Government may check any or all cited references to verify supplied information. An Offeror will be afforded the opportunity to reply to or explain adverse performance information which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to address.

2.1.3 Key Personnel and Key Subcontractors: Key Personnel and Key Subcontractor experience and past performance information is not a submittal requirement for this factor under this TAB. If their information is submitted, it will not be evaluated. Company past performance information and/or effort demonstrated by another corporate entity other than the offering entity signed on the SF 33 will not be considered in the evaluation.

2.2 VOLUME I TAB-B: Technical Approach. Do not include cost information in the technical approach narratives. In a narrative form, as a minimum, submit your company’s technical approach to performing the Technical Provisions (TPs) listed below. Your technical approach is not required for all TPs identified in Section C of the Solicitation. However, this is no indication that they are not important to the RFP and are to be included in the performance of the contract. Technical approach narratives may be enhanced with charts, tables, or any logical means of conveying the proposed technical approach the Offeror will use to accomplish a TP.

Broad general statements that merely mimic a TP, repeat, paraphrase, or promise general performance are not sufficient. For this source selection, a technical approach for the TP’s listed below are to be discussed:
