BASIS OF AWARD

A. General.

(1) This solicitation is an unrestricted competitive acquisition using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process for the award of a firm fixed-price contract. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptable standards for non-cost factors. This acquisition will utilize FAR Part 15 LPTA source selection procedures, leading to selection of the proposal representing the best value to the Government.

(2) Offerors shall submit a technical proposal, and a price proposal. The evaluation results of the non-price and price proposals will determine an awardee. In order to be considered awardable, the offeror’s proposal must receive an “acceptable” rating in every non-price factors.

(3) The Government intends to make an award without discussions, but reserves the right to conduct discussions should discussions prove to be necessary or advantageous to the Government. Because the Government does not intend to hold discussions Offerors are encouraged to include their best pricing in their initial proposal.

(4) All proposals received will stand alone and be considered complete and final. The evaluation board will not consider any information or data incorporated by reference or otherwise referred to. The successful Offeror will be selected solely on the basis of the evaluation factors set forth below. Accordingly, proposals submitted in response to this solicitation should provide clear, complete, concise, and straightforward responses to the evaluation factors. Elaborate proposals, color brochures, and other excesses are discouraged.

00100-1

EVALUATION FACTORS

Volume I – Technical (Non-Price) Submission Requirements and Evaluation Method:

FACTOR 1 (TAB 1) – Experience

Submission Requirements:

The Offeror shall submit information for up to two projects that demonstrates the offeror’s experience installing and/or modifying adult fish collection facilities and/or wastewater treatment facilities.

Information submitted for each project must include the information outlined in Attachment B, Offeror’s Experience Form.

To be evaluated, projects must have been completed or must be substantially complete within five years of the date that proposals are due and be projects valued over $5,000,000.00. Substantially complete is defined as being 75% complete by the date that proposals are due. If an offeror submits a project that it represents is “substantially complete,” the offeror must reasonably explain why the project is considered at least 75% complete. If an offeror submits an ongoing project without providing an accompanying reasonable explanation that explains how the project is at least 75% complete, the Government reserves the right to reject the project.

A maximum of two projects will be evaluated. If an offeror disregards these instructions and submits more than two projects, only the first two projects will be evaluated. Offerors should describe each project with enough detail to ensure that the Government can meaningfully assess whether the projects submitted meet the minimum evaluation criteria outlined below.

Evaluation criteria: Experience will be rated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis.

Acceptable: To be determined “acceptable,” the offeror’s proposal must demonstrate that the offeror has experience installing and/or modifying an adult fish collection facility or waste water treatment facility valued over $5,000,000. The offeror’s proposal must also demonstrate that the offeror has performed civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical work at an adult fish collection facility or waste water treatment facility valued over $5,000,000. To be determined acceptable under this factor, each project submitted does not need to demonstrate all functional categories (civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical work) for each individual project. Rather, to be acceptable an offeror must submit a proposal that includes up to two projects that collectively demonstrate the offeror’s experience with all four discrete categories of work:

civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical.

Unacceptable: The offeror’s proposal fails to demonstrate experience installing and/or modifying an adult fish collection facility or waste water treatment facility valued over $5,000,000. The offeror’s proposal fails to demonstrate experience performing civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical work at an adult fish collection facility or waste water treatment facility valued over $5,000,000.

Table 1. TECHNICAL Acceptable/Unacceptable RATINGS

RATING DESCRIPTION

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

00100-2

FACTOR 2 (TAB 2) – Past Performance

Submission Requirements:

The offeror shall provide past performance information for each project listed by the offeror under Factor 1, Experience. Recent and relevant projects are those projects completed or substantially completed** within five years of the date that proposals are due that are valued over $5,000,000 and that are similar in scope and complexity to the work in this requirement.

** Substantially completed is defined as having completed more than 75% of the project work at the time proposals are due.

If a completed Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluation is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal. Do not submit a PPQ when a completed CPARS is available.

Completed PPQs should be submitted with your proposal if a CPARS is not available. 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 (Attachment A), 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 the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact, Michael I. Grasso, via email at Michael.I.Grasso@usace.army.milprior to proposal closing date. The offerors shall instruct the clients to refer to the solicitation number in the subject line. The PPQs are Source Selection materials. All successfully submitted PPQs will receive an e-mail confirmation upon receipt. If the offeror does not receive the confirmation, it is their responsibility to follow up to ensure the government has received the information.

Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs or CPARS previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted past performance information in the past performance evaluation.

Offerors may provide explanation on problems encountered on past projects and the corrective actions taken by the offeror.

In addition to the above, the Government may review other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the PPIRS, including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s),FAPIIS, telephone interviews with organizations familiar with the offeror’s performance, Government personnel with personal knowledge of the offeror’s performance capability, 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.

Evaluation Method:

The past performance evaluation results is an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the project outlined in the solicitation requirements.

00100-3

There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation. The first is to evaluate whether the offeror’s present/past performance is relevant or not relevant to the project.

The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the contractor performed on the contracts. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s past performance to ensure previous work performance satisfactorily met the contract requirements, performance schedules, prescribed quality of work, safety requirements, and other customer expectations on these projects.

The Government reserves the right to obtain or verify offeror’s past performance information from references and other sources available to the Government.

Past performance under Factor 2 shall be evaluated using the following rating of an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis using the ratings stated in Table 2:

Table 2. PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION RATINGS

RATING DESCRIPTION

Acceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

Unacceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

FACTOR 3- Work Plan

Submission Requirements:

The Offeror shall submit a work plan explaining the offeror’s technical approach for completing the project in accordance with the specifications outlined in this solicitation. The plan shall include a detailed narrative that addresses the procedures proposed for the successful completion of the following major features of work:

1. Modifications to existing fish facility

2. Fish Ladder Extension

3. Pre-sort pool

4. Sorting area

5. Post sort pools with underneath truck loading

6. Fish return to river pipe

7. Water supply and discharge piping

8. Building and shade structures.

9. Electrical improvements

10. Civil site improvements

11. Spray in place pipe lining

12. Commissioning

The work plan shall also include the offeror’s schedule, in Gantt chart format, for completing the work within the proscribed timeframes described in the solicitation requirements. At a minimum, the schedule shall include the following:

00100-4

1. Critical path,

2. Contractual milestones described in 52.211-10,

3. Fish facility shutdown periods,

4. In-water work periods,

5. Pre-construction submittals,

6. Mobilization,

7. Major features of work as described in the Project Background and Objectives,

8. Demobilization, and

9. Closeout submittals.

Evaluation Method: The Work Plan will be rated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis.

Acceptable: To be determined “acceptable,” the offeror’s proposed work plan must include the offeror’s plan for completing each feature of work outlined in the submission requirements above and demonstrate a feasible plan for completing the work in accordance with the requirements outlined in the solicitation specifications. The offeror’s work plan must also include a Gantt chart that includes a feasible schedule for completing the work items outlined in the submission requirements above, and within the timeframes described in the solicitation specifications.

Unacceptable: The offeror’s proposed work plan fails to include all of the features of work included in the submission requirements. The offeror’s proposed work plan is not feasible or fails to demonstrate the ability to complete the work in accordance with the requirements of the solicitation. The offeror’s plan fails to include a schedule in Gantt chart format addressing each of the work items contained in the submission requirements. The offeror’s proposed schedule demonstrates an inability to complete the work within the timeframes described in the solicitation specifications or inability to feasibly complete the work on time.

Table 1. TECHNICAL Acceptable/Unacceptable RATINGS

RATING DESCRIPTION

Acceptable The proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Volume II - Price.

Price Evaluation

Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price (sum of all CLINs) of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors.

The Price Proposal will be evaluated to determine fairness and reasonableness. For evaluation purposes, the total evaluated price will be calculated by adding the total price for all optional items to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the options.

The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated

00100-5 as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the

Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS AND EVALUATION

A. Administrative Details and General Instructions: Proposals are due no later than the time and date specified in Block 13 of Standard Form 1442.

(1) General Proposal Format: Submit each copy of the proposal in tabbed, 3-ring binders with a “D” ring or locking closures.

Title Page. Each copy must include the Offeror’s name and address, phone number and email address, title of the solicitation, solicitation number and date of submittal clearly identified on the front cover of the binder.

Table of Contents. Each binder of the proposal shall contain a detailed table of contents. The complete table of contents shall be included in each binder.

Printed Matter Submissions. Pages containing text are expected to be 8 ½ x 11 inches with at least one-inch margins at the top, bottom, and both sides. Paragraphs should be separated by at least one blank line. A standard 11-point font in either Arial or Times New Roman is preferred.

Organization charts or schedules. A folded 11” x 17” format may be used. Larger format drawings or tables may be added by folding them to fit within the binder.

All information must be confined to the appropriate volume. If the materials do not fit within a single volume, they should be separated in additional binders, but clearly identified as such. Each volume of the proposal is expected to contain a table of contents, summary section with a brief abstract of the volume, and the narrative discussion.

THE OFFEROR SHALL SUBMIT AN ELECTRONIC VERSION OF EACH PROPOSAL. The electronic version shall be on a readable CD. Any discrepancies between the electronic and paper copies shall give precedence to the paper copy.

(2) Proposal Content Limitations.

The Offeror must confine the proposal to relevant information and documentation sufficient to provide an adequate basis for evaluation. Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details, in a concise manner, to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of the proposal. The page count is at the discretion of the Offeror, however the proposal may not be more than 50 pages total.

The evaluation panel for the Government is instructed to evaluate the non-price proposal factors on the basis of the information provided. Extraneous information provided in the proposals will not be considered in the evaluations; therefore, the Offeror should only provide information that satisfies the solicitation requirements. Merely restating the specifications without sufficient elaboration demonstrates a lack of understanding of the requirement.

DO NOT cross reference past performance information. It is acceptable to repeat data, project information or experience in more than one non-price area as long as it satisfies the requirements of the factor.

SUBJECT: Solicitation No. W9127N-16-R-0005; Fall Creek Fish Facility Upgrades, Lane County, Oregon.

NOTICE TO LARGE BUSINESS FIRMS

Please see FAR Clauses 52.219-8, “Utilization of Small Business Concerns (Jul 2013)” and 52.219-9, "Small Business Subcontracting Plan (Jul 2013).” Large business concerns submitting offers of $700,000 or more for supplies or services or $1,500,000 for construction are required to submit a subcontracting plan as part of their proposal. Award will not be made under this solicitation without a subcontracting plan approved by the Contracting Officer.

DEFINITIONS:

Subcontract means any agreement (other than one involving an employer-employee relationship) entered into by a Government prime contractor or subcontractor calling for supplies and/or services required for performance of the contract, contract modification, or subcontract.

Small Business Concern means a concern, including its affiliates that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in the field of operation in which it is bidding on Government contracts, and qualified as a small business under the criteria and size standards in FAR 19.102. Such a concern is “not dominant in its field of operation” when it does not exercise a controlling or major influence on a national basis in a kind of business activity in which a number of business concerns are primarily engaged.

Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) means the Government wide, electronic, web-based system for small business subcontracting program reporting. The eSRS is located at http://www.esrs.gov.

The following goals are considered reasonable and achievable during the performance of the contract resulting from this solicitation and are included for information purposes. Final goals will be negotiated prior to contract award, and subcontracting plan will then become a material part of the contract.

a. 70% of planned subcontracting dollars will be placed with all small business concerns.

For the purpose of this subcontracting plan, Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Women-owned Small Business (WOSB), HUBZone Small Business, Veteran-owned Small Business, and Service Disabled Veteran-owned Small Business concerns are subsets of small business concerns.

b. 5% of planned subcontracting dollars will be placed with small disadvantaged business concerns. To be considered a small disadvantaged business concern, business must be certified by the Small Business Administration in addition to meeting the definition under FAR Clause 52.219-8(c)(3).

c. 5% of planned subcontracting dollars will be placed with small women-owned business concerns. Women-owned business concerns may meet the definition of a small disadvantaged business. If so, it will also be considered a subset of a small disadvantaged business concern.

d. 3% of planned subcontracting dollars will be placed with HUBZone small business concerns. To be considered a HUBZone small business concern, business must be certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration in addition to meeting the definition under FAR Clause 52.219-8(c)(3).

e. 5% of planned subcontracting dollars will be placed with Service Disabled Veteran-owned small business concerns.

f. 3% of planned subcontracting dollars will be placed with Veteran-owned small business concerns.

The proposed subcontracting plan must address how the offeror will maximize subcontracting opportunities within the small business communities of the project location. Demonstrated outreach efforts through conference attendance, use of SAM.gov, and corporate support of the Small Business Program Liaison Officer and Small Business Program must be addressed in the proposed subcontracting plan.

Subcontracting plans will be evaluated using Appendix DD to the Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS) 5119.705-4(d) to determine the offeror’s ability to carry out the terms and conditions set forth in the contract clauses. If discussions during this review raise doubts regarding intentions or ability to comply with contractual obligations, it could result in disqualification for award.

A subcontracting plan template is attached. The use of this template is recommended, but not mandatory and does not guarantee an acceptable plan. The subcontracting plan must include the requirements under FAR 19.704 “Subcontracting Plan Requirements”.

Should you have any questions related to the subcontracting plan requirement please call Carol McIntyre at (503) 808-4602.

Sincerely, Tracy L. Wickham Contracting Officer Enclosure
