SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 1

SECTION 00 11 00

PHASE ONE - PROPOSAL SUBMISSION AND EVALUATION CRITERIA

1.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.

1.1 This is a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 15 and 36, competitive, design-build, construction solicitation for an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) to provide design, repair, and construction support for real property, facilities and/or their systems and components for construction in Central America. It is the intent of the Government to establish one (1) IDIQ MATOC pool of contractors that will compete for firm fixed-price task orders.

The Offerors selected for the MATOC pool will be required to furnish all plant, labor supervision, tools, materials equipment, design and other items necessary to perform general renovation, repair, and new construction requirements. The MATOC will be used primarily in the Central America region of the Mobile District Area of Responsibility (AOR).

1.2 The term of this contract is for five (5) years from date of contract award. The total contract capacity for the entire pool is $49 million over the life of the contracts. The guaranteed minimum payment is $1,000 per contract.

Firm Fixed-Price task orders will be issued against the contracts.

1.3 In Phase One, price is not a submission requirement. Non-priced proposals will be evaluated in Phase One to determine which Offerors will submit proposals for Phase Two. Non-priced Phase One information will consider the past performance information of the prime contractor. Based on the results of Phase One, the Government intends to select no more than ten (10) of the most highly rated Offerors to participate in the Phase Two competition. However, the Government reserves the right to reject any and/all offers.

1.4 In Phase Two, Offerors will compete to determine which Offerors will be awarded an IDIQ contract and participate in the MATOC pool. For Phase Two, Offerors must submit non-priced information and will also be required to provide rates for key disciplines, overhead and other unit costs, and pricing for the seed project. The Government is not obligated to award an IDIQ contract to all Offerors competing in Phase Two. The Government reserves the right to reject any and/all offers in Phase Two.

2.0 WHO MAY SUBMIT.

2.1 In Phase One, any responsible, interested party may submit a proposal.

For Phase-Two, only the Offerors that are selected in Phase-One to participate in Phase-Two will be allowed to submit a proposal.

2.2 Any design firm that participated in preparation of this solicitation, whether as a Government contractor or as a subcontractor to a Government contractor, is not eligible to participate in this solicitation as a prime contractor or subcontractor due to a conflict of interest. The Government considers such firms to have an unfair competitive advantage, and therefore will not consider such firms.

3.0 PHASE ONE - PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS.

3.1 Submit the electronic proposal package to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers via DoD SAFE (https://safe.apps.mil/) as indicated on the Standard Form 1442 (SF 1442) in this solicitation. The Government must receive your

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 2

proposal no later than the time and date specified in Block 13 of SF 1442.

The DoD SAFE system notification must show it was dropped off prior to the specified time. Any and all amendments to the solicitation shall be acknowledged by signing on each amendment (SF30) and by completing Block 19 of the SF 1442. To confirm proposal receipt, you must call the Point of Contact listed on the SF1442.

3.2 Submit your proposal as follows:

Submit one (1) electronic copy of the entire proposal (“Volume I and II”) in Portable Document File (PDF) format. Label the pdf “Volumes I and II”.

Submit one (1) electronic copy of Volume II in Portable Document File (PDF) format. Label the pdf “Volume II”.

Hard copies are not required to be submitted, and will not be accepted or evaluated. However, when formatting the PDF files the page size should be 8-1/2” x 11” for all pages except schedules and organizational charts, as applicable, which should be 11” x 17” (counts as one sheet toward page limitation).

3.3 To effectively and equitably evaluate proposals, the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) must receive information, in the order described below, that clearly describes an Offeror's capabilities to successfully execute design and construction in support of this MATOC. It is therefore an Offeror’s responsibility to submit proposal information that is fully responsive to the submission requirements of this section. Offerors are responsible for organizing material sequentially under tabs and numbered pages as set out below to facilitate evaluation. Materials that are not properly organized may easily be overlooked during evaluations, possibly affecting an Offeror’s rating. Offers should be concise, addressing only the information outlined in this section.

4.0 PHASE ONE – EVALUATION CRITERIA.

4.1 There are two volumes required for Phase One. Volume I includes certain administrative requirements that are not rated. Volume II has one (1) rated non-priced factor: Past Performance Information of the Prime Contractor.

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 3

(c) Submit an Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI) Disclosure: The Offeror shall provide a disclosure statement with its proposal that concisely describes all the relevant facts concerning any past or present OCIs relating to this solicitation. If applicable, in the same statement, the Offeror shall provide information to assure the government that the conflicts of interest have been mitigated and/or neutralized to the maximum extent possible. If a conflict of interest is discovered after award of this contract, the Contracting Officer will make a decision on whether or not to terminate the contract. If no conflicts of interest exist, the Offeror shall provide a statement stating no Conflicts of Interest exist.

(d) All other documentation as identified in the Contract Clauses specifications sections within this solicitation.

4.2 Volume II - Tab A, Factor 1 – Past Performance Information of the Prime Contractor. The Past Performance of the Prime Contractor (Offeror) consists of (a) Relevant Company Effort and (b) Quality of Past Performance. The Government will review recent, relevant company efforts and quality information provided by the owners of those efforts to assess the Offeror’s past experience and probability of successfully performing the work described in this solicitation. For this factor, a recent, relevant project is a construction project:

(a) Performed under a contract or task order, as those terms are defined in FAR 2.101, for the Federal Government, or similar contractual agreements for State or Local Governments, or the commercial or private sector.

(Multiple projects under a single contract or task order are considered one project. However, do not combine multiple projects under separate contracts or task orders to create a single project.);

(b) That is “recent”; one that has been completed within ten (10) years of the solicitation issue date, or one where the construction is at least 50% complete (measured by performance period days) as of the solicitation issue date. (Offerors are responsible for providing start and completion dates for each completed project, or the start and scheduled completion dates for projects currently under construction.);

(c) That is “relevant”; one that is similar in scope (type, size, complexity and dollar value) to the project types described in this solicitation. In terms of dollar value, a relevant project is one ranging from $300K to $2M; however, projects outside of this dollar range may be considered when similar in scope and complexity. For a project to be assessed any degree of “relevancy” it must reflect performance of design, repair, and construction requirements as described by this solicitation.

The work to be executed within this MATOC will typically include vertical and horizontal construction, site work, geotechnical surveys, landscaping, surveying, mapping, mechanical and electrical work for blast resistant, fortified structures; rigid and flexible paving for roads, airfields and helipads; parking lots; riverine and marine construction of floating docks, piers, and barges; dredging; construction of remote and temporary camps, firing ranges, rappel towers, shoot houses, fuel systems, ammunition storage, food storage, interior and exterior utilities to include water and sewage treatment, water wells, communications, electrical power (to include generators and solar and wind power), security (to include field fortifications, wire obstacles, bunkers, watch towers and security fencing and hardening of existing facilities) and safety of facilities. Facilities and

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 4

structures may include administrative buildings, barracks, warehouses, hangers, schools, motor pools, etc. The work may involve replacement in kind, repairs, upgrades and modification work and/or new construction. It also may include incidental design and testing, and survey and abatement for lead based paint (LBP) and asbestos containing materials (ACM). Facility repairs, upgrades and construction shall conform to the requirements of the technical criteria and may require the application of U.S. Building Codes; International Building Code (IBC); National Electric Code (NEC); Structural and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) codes; and U.S. Department of Defense criteria that include, but are not limited to, Unified Facility Criteria (UFC) and Anti-Terrorist and Force Protection (AFTP) requirements.

4.2.1 (a) Relevant Company Effort: The Offeror shall provide no more than five

(5) examples of recent, relevant construction projects performed as the prime construction contractor that demonstrate the company’s ability to perform work similar in scope and magnitude to that required by this solicitation. For each project, the Offeror shall furnish the information specified below.

Attachment 2, at the end of this section, may be used to present the information. The construction effort shown does not have to be a task order under an IDIQ contract, but where it is, clearly indicate so. If more than five projects are submitted for evaluation, only the first five (5) projects presented will be evaluated.

(1) Company Name

(2) Name of Project

(3) Location of Project

(4) Project Owner

(5) General Scope of Project

(6) Your Role and Construction Type Work Your Company Self-Performed on site other than Construction Management Services

(7) Construction Cost of the single project

(8) Extent and Type of Work Subcontracted Out

(9) Construction Period - Start and Completion/Scheduled Completion Dates (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 their past performance for each project. For Federal Government projects, the Offeror shall provide a completed contractor performance evaluation, whether interim or final, found in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (www.cpars.gov/). If a proper evaluation does not exist in CPARS, because it has not been completed or the project is a non-Federal Government project, the Offeror shall provide a completed Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (See Attachment 3). If, at time of evaluation, a final contractor performance evaluation exists in CPARS, and yet the Offeror submits a PPQ, only the evaluation in CPARS will be considered.

(2) Past performance surveys/assessment/evaluation forms other than CPARS or PPQs are unacceptable and will not be considered or evaluated.

(3) Completed PPQs that were submitted in response to previous solicitations may be used in this source selection. However, Offerors shall not incorporate such PPQs by reference. The Offeror must resubmit PPQs for

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 5

each submitted project within their proposal as evidence of quality of past performance. This does not, however, 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 current, detailed and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

(4) If the CPARS or PPQs for each submitted project within the proposal indicate that the Offeror was required to take corrective action for any substandard performance or 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 within their proposal.

(5) If an Offeror’s client/customer will only provide completed PPQs directly to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, Offerors must ensure the client/customer submits the PPQ by the proposal due date to the Points of Contact indicated on the SF1442. The solicitation number shall be included on the PPQ form. PPQs received after the proposal due date will be considered untimely and will not be considered during the evaluation.

4.2.2 Joint Venture Submission Requirements.

4.2.2.1 Like other Offerors, a JV Offeror shall provide no more than five (5) examples of recent, relevant projects performed by the JV that reflect the JV’s ability to perform the work required in this solicitation.

4.2.2.2 If the JV Offeror does not have five (5) projects performed as a JV, the Offeror may supplement those projects it performed as a JV with recent, relevant projects performed by either member of the JV in their individual capacity. JV Offerors are not required to submit projects of both partners, but more consideration may be given to those that do. Regardless, the total number of projects submitted by the JV shall be no more than five (5).

4.2.2.3 If the JV Offeror has not previously performed as a JV, either member of the JV may submit recent, relevant projects performed in their individual capacities. JV Offerors are not required to submit projects of both partners but more consideration may be given to those that do. Regardless, the total number of projects submitted by the JV shall be no more than five (5).

4.2.3 All Business Entities: To satisfy Paragraph 4.2.1 subparagraphs (a) and (b), only information pertaining to the corporate entity listed on the SF 1442 will be considered in the evaluation. Information related to a parent company, affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, other related entities, subcontractors, or the individual experience of key personnel will not be considered.

4.2.4 Verification: The Government reserves the right to verify the information on projects submitted for evaluation, and to review CPARS, or other Government project appraisal systems, for information on other projects performed by the Offeror whether submitted as part of a proposal or not. The Government also reserves the right to contact project clients/customer, or other references. For any adverse performance information found for which the Offeror has not had an opportunity to address, the Offeror will be afforded an opportunity to explain.

5.0 PHASE ONE - EVALUATION PROCESS.

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 6

5.1 A Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) composed of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers personnel, Using Activity representative, and, as necessary, technical advisors will conduct the evaluation. The number and identities of Offerors are not revealed to anyone not involved in the evaluation and award process or to other Offerors. The SSEB will evaluate proposals, using the factors and evaluation criteria described in this section.

5.2 The evaluation process for Phase One consists of two parts: Proposal Compliance Review, and Non-Price Factor Evaluation.

5.2.1 Proposal Compliance Review. This is an initial check by Contracting Division to ensure that all required forms are complete, and in compliance with all administrative and submission criteria.

5.2.2 Non-Price Factor Evaluation. In accordance with the solicitation, each member of the SSEB will conduct an independent review of the proposals. The review will be an in-depth, systematic evaluation of the proposal against the submission criteria and evaluation factors. After these reviews, the SSEB, by consensus, will provide a rating for each evaluation factor supported by a justifying narrative. The Offeror’s ratings are confidential and will remain in the Contracting Officer’s files. Upon completion of the evaluations, the results will be provided to the Contracting Officer in the form of a Proposal Analysis Report with a recommendation of the offerors who are most qualified to proceed to Phase Two.

5.3 Evaluation of Factor 1 – Past Performance Information of the Prime Contractor. Factor 1 will be rated with relevancy ratings and a confidence rating applied as described below.

(1) An Offeror’s “Relevant Company Effort” information will be evaluated to determine if the construction or repair projects submitted are “recent”, and “relevant”. For this solicitation, the Government will give more consideration for design-build projects in support of military construction programs; projects in remote locations and/or military installations; for the primary location of Central America; for dollar value similar to those anticipated under this solicitation; and for projects where the Offeror performed as the prime contractor, as opposed to a subcontractor.

Additionally, more consideration will be given to a project portfolio that reflects successful performance of construction and repair type projects similar to those described by this solicitation.

(2) The Government will then assess how well an Offeror performed on their projects. The Government will, as necessary, confirm quality of past performance data provided by the Offeror and, at its discretion, obtain additional past performance information, if available, from other sources.

When the relevant performance record indicates performance problems, the Government will consider the number and severity of the problems and the appropriateness and effectiveness of any corrective action taken (not just planned or promised). The Government may review more recent contracts or performance evaluations to ensure corrective actions have been implemented and evaluate their effectiveness.

(3) Upon completion of its evaluation of each project, the SSEB, by consensus, will assign each project one of the following ratings:

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 7

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Very Relevant - Present/Past effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude, effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant - Present/Past effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant - Present/Past effort involved some scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant - Present/Past effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

No overall relevancy rating is assigned to an Offeror’s portfolio of projects. Rather, after checking compliance and assigning each project a relevancy rating, the SSEB will then determine an overall Performance Confidence Assessment rating. The overall Performance Confidence Assessment rating takes into consideration the degree of relevancy of each project, and the quality ratings of those projects.

(4) If the Offeror is submitting as a Joint Venture (JV), the SSEB will utilize the information submitted to conduct the relevancy and performance confidence assessment ratings of the JV, as previously indicated. Based on the information submitted by the JV Offeror, the SSEB will evaluate and assess:

(i) The JV’s “Past Performance Information”, and/or

(ii) Either JV partners’ “Past Performance Information”

(5) The overall Performance Confidence Assessment Rating reflects the degree of probability that the Offeror will be able to meet the solicitation’s requirements. Upon completion of the evaluation, one of the following ratings will be assigned:

Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings and Description Substantial Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonable assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

(6) Offerors with little or no relevant past performance will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for Factor 1. However, such a proposal will be rated neutral confidence, and thus may not represent the most advantageous proposal to the Government when compared to the proposals of other Offerors with recent/relevant past performance.

5.4 Additional definitions used in all factors.

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 8

5.4.1 Deficiency.

(a) A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. (FAR 15.001)

(b) The evaluators will identify the RFP requirement, and describe why a deficiency or deficiencies exist in the proposal. All deficiencies discovered will be identified to the Offeror during discussions, if conducted, and in the debriefing. Failure by an Offeror to rectify deficiencies will preclude award action to that Offeror.

(c) The Contract requirements take precedence over deficiencies (or deviations) discovered after award.

(d) Deviation. Proposal implies or specifically offers something below specified criteria. The Offeror may or may not have called the deviation to the Government's attention. A deviation is a deficiency. The technical reviewers will identify any deviations.

5.4.2 Clarification. Means limited exchanges, between the Government and Offerors that may occur when award without discussions is contemplated.

Offeror may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of the proposals (e.g., the relevance of an Offeror’s past performance information and adverse past performance information to which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond) or to resolve minor or clerical errors. Clarification does not give the Offeror an opportunity to revise or modify its proposal, except to the extent that corrections of apparent clerical mistakes results in a revision. Clarifications do not require "discussions" or submission of another proposal.

5.4.3 Weakness.

(a) Means a flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. A “significant weakness” in the proposal is a flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

(b) All significant weaknesses discovered will be identified to the Offeror during discussions, if conducted, and in the debriefing. Failure by an Offeror to rectify multiple significant weaknesses deemed essential will preclude award action to that Offeror.

5.4.4 Strength. Any aspect of a proposal that, when judged against a stated evaluation criterion, enhances the merit of the proposal or increase the probability of successful performance of the contract. A “significant strength” appreciably enhances the merit of a proposal or appreciably increases the probability of successful contract performance.

6.0 PHASE ONE - DISCUSSIONS.

6.1 The Government intends to make a determination of Offerors for participation in Phase Two based on initial Phase One proposals without holding discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, and allow proposal revisions, if the Contracting Officer determines that discussions are in the Government's best interest. Offerors

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 9

are cautioned that discussions may not be conducted and Offerors should not assume that they will have an opportunity to revise their proposals after submission.

6.2 If discussions are deemed necessary, the Contracting Officer will include only those firms determined to be the most highly rated; those whose proposals are reasonably susceptible to being made acceptable; but not those that are so deficient as to essentially require major revisions or a total re-write of their proposal. In certain circumstances, the Government may limit offers in the competitive range to a number that will permit an efficient competition. If discussions are required, the SSEB will follow the evaluation process herein until discussions are closed. Upon the conclusion of discussions, those Offerors still within the competitive range will be afforded an opportunity to revise their proposals and submit a Phase One, Final Proposal Revision for evaluation.

If discussions are held, Offerors are required to submit their responses to comments electronically. If discussions are held, detailed instructions on responses will be provided. Electronic submissions shall meet the submission deadline set forth by the SSA during discussions or indicated in the Amendment requesting the Final Proposal Revisions. The SSA/CO will notify all the Offerors in the competitive range, in writing, how and when interim revisions and final proposals revisions are to be submitted.

6.3 Upon conclusion of discussions, those Offerors still within the competitive range will be afforded an opportunity to revise their proposal and to submit their final proposal revisions for evaluation.

7.0 THE SELECTION PROCESS.

7.1 The Contracting Officer, independently exercising prudent business judgment, will make the Source Selection Decision as to which Offerors will be invited to submit a proposal in Phase Two. Phase One factor ratings will be used to determine the Offerors participating in Phase Two. An Offeror’s Phase One factor ratings will not be rolled over to Phase Two. Only Phase Two factor ratings will be used during the non-price/price tradeoff analysis. For all Offerors participating in the Phase-Two source selection process, the Government will not allow or consider any revisions to an Offeror’s Phase One proposal during Phase Two.
