B. BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government intends to award a single contract to the responsible Offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government, considering the evaluation factors described herein. The non-price technical factors when combined, are significantly more important than price. Offerors will be cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price offered. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced Offeror or to reject all Offerors. To receive consideration for award, an Offeror must receive a rating of no less than “Acceptable” for each of the Technical factors.

If awarded the contract, the Offeror shall construct the project in accordance with the plans and specifications.

1.0 Contract Award

The evaluation will be conducted in accordance with the, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.3, Department of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 215.3, Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS) 5225.3, Department of Defense Source Selection Procedures, Army Source Selection

Supplement (AS3) to the Department of Defense Source Selection Procedures, and this solicitation. Award will be made to the Offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 9, conforms to the solicitation requirements (such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications).

Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the Offeror being considered non awardable.

1.1. Award without Discussions

The Government intends to award without discussions IAW FAR 52.215-1; however, IAW FAR Subpart 15.306, should discussions become necessary, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions. Therefore, Offerors are advised to submit proposals that are fully and clearly acceptable without additional information. If award will be made without conducting discussions, the Offeror may only be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of 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.

1.2 Competitive Range/Discussions

The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contract; to negotiate with Offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contract to the Offeror whose proposal is determined to represent the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered.

If discussions are deemed necessary, they will be held only with those Offerors determined to be in the competitive range. The Contracting Officer may establish a competitive range comprised of the most highly rated proposals based on the rating of each evaluation factor against the evaluation criteria. The competitive range may be further reduced for purposes of efficiency pursuant to FAR 15.306(c)(2). If the Government elects to open discussions, it has sole discretion as to whether an Offeror is in the competitive range, and may include proposals rated “Unacceptable” under the Technical factors. Offerors whose proposals are not included in the competitive range will be notified as soon as practicable.

Discussions will include issuance of evaluation notices with its significant weaknesses, deficiencies, adverse past performance, and any other aspects of the Offeror’s proposal that could enhance materially the Offeror’s proposal for award. During discussions, the Government may ask the Offeror to further explain and / or to answer questions about its proposal. An Offeror initially included in the competitive range may be eliminated from consideration for award during discussions. At the conclusion of discussions, each Offeror still within the competitive range shall be given an opportunity to submit a Final Proposal Revision (FPR) for final evaluation and selection.

D. EVALUATION APPROACH

Factors 1 through 6 will be evaluated as specified below:

1.0 VOLUME 1, TAB B – FACTOR 1 – ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS CONSTRUCTION

EXPERIENCE

1.1 Submission Requirements:

1.2 Factor 1 Overview.

This factor evaluates the Offeror’s proposed Electrical Distribution Systems Construction Experience for the base contract and all options. The Offeror (or prime contractor) and shall demonstrate experience on contracts with similar features, magnitudes, and complexities to this RFP. The Offeror is expected to explain how its experience is similar to electrical distribution systems projects as described in this RFP. The Offeror shall explain how its experience is similar to the management and coordination complexity (such as multiple contractors, stakeholders, joint occupancies and a Temporary Workforce Camp) expected for this RFP.

1.2.1 The Offeror shall submit a maximum of five (5) contracts.

A “contract” is defined as a single contract or a single task order performed under a MATOC (Multiple Award Task Order Contract)/SATOC (Single Award Task Order Contract)/IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract).

Data presented shall include construction contracts relevant to this requirement as provided in the solicitation’s technical narrative which the Offeror’s team has completed, or which are currently under construction and are substantially complete. Relevant construction experience will be limited to performance of contracts similar in size, scope, and complexity to that outlined in the solicitation. The Offeror shall submit a maximum of five (5) contracts. If more than five (5) contracts are submitted, only the first five (5) contracts will be evaluated. The Offeror shall submit a completed Attachment A “Experience Information” form for each contract. All blocks must be filled in and all data should be accurate, current and complete. Each contract shall be described in two pages or less. Any pages that exceed this limitation will not be considered. The information in Attachment A includes, but is not limited to, the following contract information:

a. Contract title, contract number, and location.

b. Contract type (for example, Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity task order; Design/Build;

Design-Bid-Build; Firm Fixed-Price; Cost Plus, etc.)

c. Total dollar award amount, and the total dollar amount at completion of the contract.

d. Start and completion dates (month/year) or percentage until complete to include actual completion date

(month/year).

e. Role of Offeror, provide a detailed description (address type of work self-performed, to include design, and percentage and type of self-performed work, as applicable for each team member, and type of work sub-contracted out)

f. Brief description of contract and how it relates to this solicitation.

g. Customer primary Point of Contact (POC) and alternate POC (name, relationship to the contract [Administering Contracting Officer / Contracting Officer Representative, etc.], agency/firm affiliation, city, state, current phone number, and e-mail address)

h. Awards or recognition received, where applicable

Note: If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV) and the JV does not have experience working as a JV, the partners of the JV may submit experience on behalf of the Offeror. All references herein to “the Offeror” include all proposed joint venture partners. Submitted contracts by members of a joint-venture or from the joint-venture itself will be considered and evaluated as long as the member or joint-venture itself was the prime contractor. Information provided from potential sub-contractors (not included in the joint venture) will not be considered or evaluated.

The JV shall submit no more than five (5) contracts, but each respective JV partner must submit at least one (1) contract under this Factor.

1.2.2 Evaluation Criteria:

The Government will evaluate the extent of relevant experience of the prime contractor. If an Offeror submits a proposal as a joint venture, the Government will evaluate the experience of its proposed JV team and the roles each member of the JV team will have in performing this contract. The extent of relevant experience will be determined based on the similarity of the submitted contracts to the size, scope, and complexity of the construction required by the solicitation.

Only relevant construction projects will be considered for evaluation. For purposes of this evaluation, to be considered a relevant construction project, the project must possess the following features:

a. It must be a recent contract. A recent contract is defined as at least 80% complete or turned over within the past seven (7) years preceding the issuance date of this RFP. Evidence of substantial completion from the contracting agency, or a CPARS rating must be included in the proposal in order for a contract to be considered relevant.

b. New / renovation construction of any building, structure, or other improvement with a large scale electrical service distribution systems component.

The Government will evaluate the content of each offeror’s submitted construction experience and will assign strengths, weaknesses, and/or deficiencies based on how well each offeror's proposal demonstrates the following:

i. Proposals that include a higher number of relevant contracts, up to a maximum of five.

ii. Construction contracts for electrical distribution systems (i.e. service entrances or substations) with similar scope and complexity that require continuity of service and coordinated construction phasing.

iii. New / renovation construction contracts with an award amount (after any modifications) of

$25,000,000 or greater.

iv. New / renovation construction contracts with a temporary workforce camp.

v. Experience managing construction projects in remote areas with logistical challenges. A remote area is considered a site in an isolated location with higher risks than average construction sites in well-located areas where most common supplies and services are found.

See paragraph 6.2, Combined Technical / Risk Rating, Table 1, for the evaluation rating system for Factor 1, Electrical Distribution Systems Construction Experience.

2.1 VOLUME 1, TAB C – FACTOR 2 – PAST PERFORMANCE

2.2 Submission Requirements:

2.2.1 Past performance refers to the quality of recent project experience from the owner's perspective. For each project submitted under Factor 1, the Offeror shall provide past performance information. For Federal projects, the Offeror may submit finalized CPARS reports. If a finalized CPARS report is not available, the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attachment A, Form PPQ-0) included in the RFP is provided for the Offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project. The Offeror shall provide customer reference name(s), company affiliation and current contact information (phone number and email address) on the PPQ form, for each experience submitted for Factor 1. Previously completed PPQ’s may be submitted;

however, ensure current phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. The completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted with your proposal and may be duplicated for submission on future solicitations. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before the proposal closing date, the Offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first 2 pages of the PPQ (Attachment 1), 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.

2.2.2 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 performance evaluation.

2.2.3 In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture or teaming arrangement) identified in the Offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), 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.

2.2.4 An Offeror will not receive credit for relevant past performance of a parent, affiliate or separate division. An

Offeror may receive credit for relevant past performance under a previous business arrangement (joint venture for example) if the Offeror demonstrates that its role on the submitted project is relevant to the role it proposes to perform on this project.

2.2.5 Evaluation Criteria:

The Government will assess and rate the relevant projects, as defined in Para. 1.2.2 above, submitted under the Factor 1 as well as information from other sources as described in Para. 2.1 above.

2.2.6 The Government will next consider how well the Offeror performed on the contracts. The Government will consider the relevancy of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor performance.
