Factor 1, Experience
Adjectival Rating Description
Acceptable
The proposal clearly demonstrates that the Offeror has two or more relevant contracts. For Joint Ventures, each Joint Venture Partner demonstrates one or more relevant contracts. The relevant contracts combined demonstrate all the Narrative
Description Criteria in Paragraph 4.1.1.c. have been met.
Unacceptable
The proposal does not clearly demonstrate that the Offeror has two or more relevant contracts or, for a Joint Venture, that each Joint Venture Partner has one or more relevant contracts. The relevant contracts combined do not demonstrate all the
Narrative Description Criteria in Paragraph 4.1.1.c. have been met.
5.0 Volume 1, Tab 3: Past Performance
5.1 Factor 2 – Past Performance
5.1.1 Submission Requirements
a. For the contracts listed under Factor 1 – Experience, the Government will query the Offeror’s Contract
Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to validate past performance ratings on
Department of Defense contracts and any other past performance information the Government deems necessary to evaluate an Offeror’s past performance.
b. For each contract that does not have a CPARS evaluation, the Offeror shall send a copy of the Past
Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) which is included in Attachment B to the points of contact responsible for monitoring performance under such contracts. The Past Performance Questionnaire included in the solicitation is provided for the Offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each contract the
Offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 1, Experience. Ensure the name, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses are provided for the client’s point of contact. Completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted with the Offeror’s proposal. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a contract(s) before the proposal closing date, the Offeror shall complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ (Attachment B) which will provide contact and client information for the respective contract(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. The Offeror should explain problems encountered and actions taken for any submitted contract. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the
Government's point of contact, via email at W9128A-20-R-0017@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into its proposal PPQs previously submitted for other solicitations. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted
PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.
c. The Information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the Offeror’s past performance.
If any negative past performance information is received, the Offeror will be given an opportunity to provide a rebuttal if it has not already provided such a rebuttal. The Offeror is responsible for ensuring it mailto:W9128A-20-R-0017@usace.army.mil
Section 00 22 16 – Page 8 submits a copy of past performance assessments (CPARS or PPQs) or notifies the Government and ensures that an assessment is already in CPARS. An Offeror that has no past performance ratings shall indicate such in its proposal; i.e., that it has no previous clients and that the questionnaires cannot be provided. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure the referenced documentation is provided, as the
Government shall not be obligated to make an additional request for past performance from the references. The evaluation form shall be provided to the Government's point of contact, via email at
W9128A-20-R-0017@usace.army.mil. Offerors are not to request past performance questionnaires on contracts that have final CPARS evaluation. If a past performance questionnaire is received on a contract where a final CPARS evaluation exists, the CPARS evaluation will serve as the official rating of record for evaluation purposes.
d. The Government may (but shall not be obligated to) contact references provided as part of Factor 1 –
Experience, for information regarding the Offeror’s past performance on the contract, and for the purposes of assessing and verifying the scope of work performed. Offerors should provide accurate, current, and complete contact information for references provided in the contract descriptions.
e. The Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past
Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members
(partnership, joint venture, teaming agreement, or parent company / subsidiary / affiliate) identified in the Offeror’s proposal; inquires of owners’ representative(s); Federal Awardee Performance and
Integrity Information System (FAPIIS); Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS); and any other sources not provided by the Offeror.
f. 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.
g. Verification. The Government reserves the right to verify the experience record of cited contracts or other recent and relevant contracts not submitted by the Offerors by reviewing Past Performance
Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), or other Government appraisal systems, or by contacting owner or references. The Government may verify any or all cited references and supplied information. An
Offeror will be afforded the opportunity to reply to or explain adverse past performance information which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to address.
5.1.2 Joint Venture Submission Requirements
An Offeror submitting a proposal as a Joint Venture (JV) shall obtain a DUNS number and be registered in
SAM.gov as the offering Joint Venture. If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV) and it does not have the SAM
Representations and Certifications as a JV, all parties of the JV must separately complete the SAM
Representations and Certification. A JV Offeror must provide at least two (2) and no more than five (5)
“recent” and “relevant” contracts performed by the JV that reflect the JV’s ability to perform the work required in this solicitation as required by paragraph 4.1.1, Submission Requirements, of the solicitation.
If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV) and the JV does not have experience working as a JV, the parties of the
JV may submit experience on behalf of the Offeror.
5.1.3 Evaluation Criteria
The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the Offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation’s minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the Offeror’s record of relevant past performance information. (See paragraph 4.1.2, Relevant Contracts) mailto:W9128A-20-R-0017@usace.army.mil.
Section 00 22 16 – Page 9
a. First, an Offeror’s past performance will be evaluated to determine how relevant a recent contract is to the requirements of the RFP. The relevancy determination will be based on the submitted contracts for Factor 1 -
Experience, Evaluation Criteria (paragraph 4.1.3 in the solicitation).
b. If any Offeror has multiple functions or divisions, the Government will only evaluate past performance of the division or unit submitting the proposal. 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 subcontractors or suppliers, small business participation, safety, relations between owner and contractor, level of support for such things as as-built documentation, Operations and Maintenance (O&M) manuals, training, correcting construction errors, warranty work, etc. The Government will not release the interview forms to the Offeror at any time, in order for the Government to solicit candid, unbiased interview comments.
c. In addition to the information provided above, the Government may obtain and evaluate additional past performance information from the Client on the submitted projects, or other relevant projects completed by the Offeror before five (5) ten (10) years from the date this solicitation was issued. The Government may contact and interview the Client (on a submitted contract), and reserves the right to interview other individuals acting for the listed owners or the owner’s representative listed as a reference, if the listed reference is not available. The Government may use personal knowledge or information from other sources in its evaluation of an Offeror’s past performance. In rating past performance, the Government may consider available past performance information that it discovers on predecessor companies. The
Government’s evaluation is not limited to past performance information on the submitted example contracts. Offerors without a history of past performance will receive a rating of “Unknown”.
d. Each entity (firm) will be rated on its own performance or that of its predecessor, if relevant.
Note: In the case of an Offeror without a record of 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 an Unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability / unacceptability, “Unknown” shall be considered “Acceptable”.

Factor 2, Past Performance
Adjectival Rating Definition
