6.0 VOLUME 1, TAB B – FACTOR 1 – PAST PERFORMANCE

There are three aspects to the performance confidence evaluation: recency, relevancy and quality of past performance. In accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2), the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor's performance shall be considered. All recent projects will be evaluated for the relevance and quality of performance will be combined to establish one performance confidence assessment rating for each Offeror.

6.1 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

Submit Experience Information for Prime Construction Contractor (Section 00 22 10, Attachment 1) for each project to be submitted under Factor 1, plus 1 additional page (3 pages max per project).

Also provide performance assessment as described in paragraph 6.5 Performance Assessment.

6.2 RECENCY OF PAST EXPERIENCE:

For a project to be recent, projects shall be completed, or currently in progress with at least 80% construction completed of the current contract value, within the past ten years as of the date the solicitation was issued.

6.3 RELEVANCY OF PAST EXPERIENCE:

These projects must be of relevant scope and complexity to the solicited project. The Offeror shall submit information on at least four (4), but no more than seven (7) completed projects demonstrating the Offeror's recent and relevant experience. At least two (2) of the relevant projects must be design-build.

A relevant construction project is further defined as a construction project with a value of $20,000,000 or more performed under a single relevant task order or contract. For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the contract as a whole shall not be submitted as a project; rather offerors shall submit the work performed under a task order as a project.

For purposes of this evaluation, to be considered a relevant construction project, the project must involve one of the following types of work:

(1) New construction, repair or renovation of existing multi-story administrative facilities (headquarters, operational, and administration/office buildings, etc.)

Section 00 22 10 – 3

(2) New construction, repair or renovation of existing scientific, medical and dental facilities, data centers and industrial facilities (clinics, hospitals warehouses, hangars, aircraft shelters, maintenance buildings, etc.)

(3) New construction, repair or renovation of existing educational facilities (schools, laboratories, childcare centers, training ranges or buildings, etc.)

(4) New construction, repair or renovation of existing community support facilities (multi-story, multi-unit Bachelor Enlisted Quarters (BEQ) dormitory/condominium/apartments, hotels/timeshares, living quarters, reserve centers, dining facilities, auditoriums, recreational facilities, theaters and retail, etc.)

(5) New construction, repair or renovation of shore protection or flood mitigation facilities.

Projects must have been performed by the Offeror. Projects submitted that were not performed by the Offeror will not be evaluated. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division or unit submitting the offer. If projects were design-build, identify them as such.

The information that is required to be supplied is identified on the form provided entitled "EXPERIENCE INFORMATION" (Attachment 1).

6.4 EVALUATION CRITERIA

The Government will review the project descriptions submitted, subject to the established quantity limitations, to ensure the past performance requirements have been met. Past performance in the following project types may be considered additional strengths.

Construction project performed as a prime contractor.

Construction project with a construction value of $50,000,000 or more Projects which were constructed within the State of Hawaii Offerors demonstrating past performance with relevant projects in a variety of different types of work (see 6.1 (1) – (5) above).

6.4.1 PHASE 2 EVALUATION

The information provided in the Offeror’s proposal for this evaluation factor will be carried over for use in evaluating of the Offeror, if selected, during Phase 2 of the solicitation. In Phase 2 of this solicitation, Offerors will not be allowed to submit revisions to its original proposal for Factor 1 – Past Performance. Any supplemental information or revisions provided for this factor during Phase 2 will not be evaluated.

6.5 PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

For each of the projects submitted, provide a copy of the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) report. If CPARS does not exist please provide a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attachment 2) to a representative of the owner. The Past Performance Questionnaire included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project the offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 1, Past Performance of Construction Contractor. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted with your proposal. 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 2), 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 at W9128A22R0003@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past

Section 00 22 10 – 4 performance evaluation. Offerors may use previously completed PPQs and do not need to have one completed specifically for this project but must include it as a hardcopy.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance for any project. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Contractor Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or other databases using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company / subsidiary/ affiliate) identified in the Offeror' s proposal; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency. The information obtained from these sources will be evaluated supplementary to the past performance questionnaires. In reference to the contracts pulled from these sources, the relevancy of the projects, completion dates, ratings and comments in the individual categories and overall ratings will be considered in making the overall confidence assessment.

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.

6.5.1 RATING SYSTEM

Each submitted project will be assigned one of the levels of relevancy shown in Table 1.

Table 1. Past Performance Relevancy Rating Method

Adjectival Rating Definition Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this RFP requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this RFP requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this RFP requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this RFP requires.

In reviewing each past performance effort by the Offeror, the Technical Evaluation Board (TEB) will then evaluate the overall quality of the Offeror's past performance (see FAR 15.304(c)(2)) to determine the performance confidence assessment rating. The past performance evaluation conducted in support of a current source selection does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the Offeror's past performance on past contracts; rather, the past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the Offeror performed those past contracts.

The TEB will review all past performance information collected and determine the quality of the Offeror's performance, general trends, and usefulness of the information and incorporate these into the performance confidence assessment (see Table 2 below).

The past performance confidence assessment rating is based on the Offeror's overall record of recency, relevancy, and quality of performance. At the conclusion of the assessment, the Offeror shall be assigned one of the ratings in Table 2. In the case for which there is no information on past contract performance or where past contract performance information is not available, the Offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past contract performance.

In this case, the Offerors' past performance is unknown and assigned a performance confidence rating of "neutral".

Section 00 22 10 – 5

Table 2. Performance Confidence Assessment

Adjectival Rating 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 report is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably 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 be able to successfully perform the required effort.

7.0 VOLUME 1, TAB C – FACTOR 2 – ORGANIZATION / MANAGEMENT TEAM

7.1 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Submit an organizational chart on a page not to exceed 11”X 17” and a narrative that clearly but concisely describes the Offeror’s organization, capability and intended technical approach to project management and execution of the contract. Limit the information to 10 single sided pages.

Substantial ability to self-perform work required under this contract may be considered a strength.

Evidence of your firm’s ability to perform more than two concurrent projects, in geographically separate and remote areas, concurrently may be considered a strength.

7.2.1 PHASE 2 EVALUATION

The information provided in the Offeror’s proposal for this evaluation factor will be carried over for use in evaluating of the Offeror, if selected, during Phase 2 of the solicitation. In Phase 2 of this

Section 00 22 10 – 6 solicitation, Offerors will not be allowed to submit revisions to its original proposal for Factor 2 – Organization / Management Team. Any supplement information or revisions provided for this factor during Phase 2 will not be evaluated.

7.3 RATING SYSTEM: The following ratings will be used with Factor 2.

Table 3. Organization / Management Team

Adjectival Rating Description Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable.

8.0 VOLUME 1, TAB D – FACTOR 3 – BONDING CAPACITY

8.1 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

The surety must appear on the Department of Treasury Circular 570 “Companies Holding Certificates of Authority as Acceptable Sureties on Federal Bonds and Acceptable Reinsuring Companies.” If the Offeror submits evidence from an individual Surety, the individual surety must include documentation meeting the requirements of FAR 28.203 and contract clause 52.228-11. If the joint venture involves a construction firm and an A-E firm and the construction firm intends to provide the bond, provide a complete explanation with confirmation from the insurance company or surety. The Bonding Capacity letter has no page limitation.

8.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA: The Government will review the letter of commitment to ensure the submission requirements have been met. This submission requirement will be a Go/No Go evaluation. Submissions not satisfying the bonding capacity submission requirements will not be considered.

Offerors will not be eligible to be considered for Phase 2 if it does not receive a “GO” adjectival rating.

See revised Section 00 10 00, Notes 5 and 6, per Am-0002.

10 Section 00 22 10, Attachment 1

Amendment 1 provided an updated "Section 00 22 10, Attachment 1". RFI #2's response indicated "No" with respect to allowing proposers to modify the form. Does increasing or decreasing the size of the response boxes constitute modifications to the form, or can this be done, as necessary, when responses call for less information (ie: "Design Build") or more information ("General Scope of Construction and Offeror's Role")?
