2.0 BASIS OF AWARD

2.1. The Contracting Officer will award a firm-fixed-price contract to that responsible Offeror whose proposal the Source Selection Authority has determined conforms to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government, considering all non-price factors described herein, and price. All evaluation factors, other than price, when combined, are considered slightly more important than price; however, the Contract award should not exceed the cost limitation described in Section 00 21 00 for this project. The intent of this solicitation is to obtain the best proposal within the cost limitation. There is no obligation to approach or match the cost limitation in the offer. After the Government individually evaluates and rates each proposal, the Contracting Officer/Source Selection Authority will compare proposals to determine which proposal represents the best value. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offers. The Government will not award a contract to an Offeror whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001. If there is a lower priced, conforming offer(s), the Contracting Officer/Source Selection Official must determine that the added value of a more expensive proposal (within the cost limitation) would justify award to that offeror.

3.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

3.1. Proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable terms from a price and technical standpoint. Do not assume that offerors will be contacted or afforded an opportunity to clarify, discuss or revise their proposals.

3.2. Firms formally organized as design-build entities, design firms and construction contractors that have associated specifically for this project, consortia of firms or any other interested parties may submit proposals. Associations may be as joint ventures or as key team subcontractors. Any legally organized Offeror may submit a proposal, provided that the Offeror or Offeror’s subcontractor has or will have professional architects and engineers, registered in the appropriate technical disciplines and provided that the requirements specified in Contract clause, “Requirements for Registration of Designers”, are met. All designs must be under the direct supervision of appropriately licensed professionals for each discipline involved.

5.0 VOLUME 1 –FACTOR 1 – TECHNICAL

5.1. VOLUME 1 -TAB A – SUBFACTOR 1 - SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE

5.1.1. Submission Requirements:

The Offeror shall submit ONLY two (2) projects performed by the design entity and ONLY two (2) projects performed by the construction entity (total of 4). Limit one (1) page per project submitted, with one additional page allowed for describing past teaming experience between current team members, for a maximum of five (5) pages. All projects submitted should demonstrate experience on similar building projects of similar value ($5,000,000 - $8,000,000).

Similar Commercial or Institutional type buildings: Office, Admin, and/or Classroom

Project information shall CLEARLY include:

- Summaries for each project submitted

- LEED certification level/status

- Contract award amount and final construction cost

- Location

- Date when the project was started

- Original contract finish date and actual finish date

- All summaries shall contain the name, address, telephone and email of a representative of the owner (as well as one alternate individual not affiliated with your firm) familiar with your firm’s experience on the project that can verify the experience cited.

- Please do not include extraneous information that was not requested.

The Offeror should demonstrate recent, relevant design and construction experience on similar building projects using, Construction – Specialized Experience Form (Attachment 3) and Designer – Specialized Experience Form (Attachment 4). Offerors may identify state and local government and private contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements set forth in the RFP. If the Offeror is a joint venture, each firm shall provide information, demonstrating experience relevant to their role on this project. Submit projects that are currently well underway (designed and at least 50% construction progress completed) or completed and turned over no longer than five (5) years preceding the date of this Solicitation. If the Offeror has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division or unit submitting the offer or by the team member. Offerors may list government, private or commercial customers. If projects were design-build, so identify them.

5.1.1.1. The Offeror should describe any previous teaming experience between current team members, if not described in the project list. The above information is limited to projects that are well underway or that have been completed and turned over no longer than the past five (5) years preceding the issue date of this solicitation.

5.1.2. Evaluation Criteria:

5.1.2.1. The Government will evaluate the extent of recent, relevant experience of the construction and design entities in design, construction or design-build, as relevant to their role on this project. Experience on similar projects will be rated more favorably. Federal Government project experience will be rated inherently more important than non-Federal Government project experience. (Note: After award, the Section 00 73 00 Special Contract Requirement Key Personnel, Subcontractors and Outside Consultants will apply to the selection, which establishes the minimum quality standard. No substitution will be allowed without adequate justification and approval by the Contracting Officer.)

5.1.2.2. Projects that are not “well underway” as defined above in paragraph 5.1.1.1. will be considered less relevant and may be rated less favorably. Projects completed and turned over more than five (5) years

Section 00 22 11 Page 6 before the proposal issue date will be considered less relevant and may be rated less favorably. Joint Venture partners should each demonstrate experience commensurate with their role on this project or explain in the supplemental narrative how their experience qualifies them for their role on this project.

5.1.2.3. The Government reserves the right to verify the experience record of cited projects or other recent projects by reviewing the Corps of Engineers Construction Contractor (or Architect-Engineer) Appraisal Support System (CCASS/ACASS) or other DOD or Government appraisal systems, or through interviewing owners or references. The Government may check any or all cited references to verify supplied information.

5.1.2.4. To receive credit for extent (amount) of experience, the Offeror and its proposed design firm(s) shall demonstrate a history of recent, relevant experience. A firm will not receive credit under this subfactor for the relevant experience of key personnel proposed for this project while employed at a different firm.

5.1.2.5. The Government will consider extent of recent experience, degree of relationship of such experience to this project, demonstrated familiarity with applicable codes and local conditions.

5.1.2.6. Previous design-build experience is not necessary for an acceptable rating. The Government may consider previous D-B experience a strength. Similarly, the Government may consider previous recent teaming experience among the team members as value added, even if on different type design and/or construction projects than this project. The more relevant the experience, the more favorably it may be rated.

5.1.2.7. The Offeror should demonstrate qualifications and experience in sustainable design and development and design, based on project experience on projects that have achieved US Green Building Council’s LEED certification or project experience on completed Corps of Engineers design-build projects that were validated as having achieving LEED silver rating or were certifiable at LEED silver or better for an acceptable rating. A more favorable rating may be given if both the constructor and the design entities demonstrate qualifications and experience on LEED.

5.2. VOLUME 1 - TAB B –SUBFACTOR 2 - PROPOSED CONTRACT DURATION AND SUMMARY

SCHEDULE

5.2.1. Submission Requirements:

5.2.1.1. Proposed Contract Duration: The offeror shall propose the contract duration in the appropriate Contract Line Item Number in the CLIN Schedule and should not exceed the benchmark performance duration specified in the CLIN.

5.2.1.2. Summary Schedule: Submit a summary level schedule for integrated design and construction.

Schedules or diagrams may be provided separately in a size that is easily read, but shall be bound and clearly labeled as Tab C. This summary schedule will, after contract award, be replaced with a project schedule as required by Section 01 32 01.00 10: Project Schedule. The schedules shall be task oriented, indicating the number of calendar days, after notice to proceed, by which milestones are to be achieved. Offeror may use a critical path or other method of (h)is/er choice; however, schedules shall be graphically represented. The proposed project schedule shall reflect the proposed contract duration.

Give attention to the following features:

(a) Provide a narrative, describing the design packaging plan for separate design packages, based on the offeror’s plan for fast tracking. Describe all design and construction to be “fast-tracked” (See section 01 33 16: Design After Award). If long lead item equipment must be ordered prior to completion of a design phase, describe the requirement in the narrative and show the required ordering date in the schedule.

(b) Show the design phase, including events associated with coordinating the interim and final design submittals for each package and the proper handling of the review comments for each design package (See section 01 33 16).

(c) Show the overall construction phase for each facility, for the site work and for utilities. Show fast track starts for design packages, but it isn’t necessary to show the detailed breakdown construction (e.g., by trades) of each facility, site work and utilities.

Section 00 22 11 Page 7

(d) Show turnover of each facility. Identify any proposed phased turnovers. The time to complete the facility and turnover to the Government must consider the requirement for the Contractor’s CQC completion inspection and the subsequent joint Contractor-Government turnover inspection.

(e) Show as-built submissions (See section 01 78 02.00 10: Project Closeout).

(f) Constraints: Offeror must demonstrate the capability and flexibility to plan and schedule the complete project to meet the proposed contract completion period. Clearly identify any constraints on the schedules presented (e.g., labor or material availability, permits, weather). Indicate the anticipated overall critical path on the schedule.

5.2.2. Evaluation Criteria:

5.2.2.1. Proposed Contract Duration: Unless changed during negotiations, this duration will become the contractually binding performance period. The Government will evaluate the performance period, as proposed by the Offeror in the Contract Line Item Schedule. In assessing the reasonableness of the proposed contract duration, the Government may take into account how well the proposed summary schedule supports the proposed duration. Evaluators will use their independent judgment concerning logic, constraints and typical construction durations. The Government will rate the proposed duration matching the benchmark duration as “acceptable”. A proposed duration that is longer than the proposed benchmark duration will be viewed as less favorable than a duration that meets the benchmark. The Government will consider an unreasonably condensed contract duration, which places additional cost or schedule risk on the Government or which may create a risk of contract or performance failure, as a significant weakness or a deficiency, depending upon the evaluators' judgment. No advantage will be considered between proposals for differences less than 21 calendar days.

5.2.2.2. Summary Schedule: The Government will evaluate the summary schedule for integrated design and construction. The length of the schedule must match the proposed performance duration. A Schedule unreasonably shorter than the proposed contract duration may indicate the Offeror is placing additional risk on the Government for any delays between the scheduled completion date and the required performance completion period. Offerors shall include field overhead costs in the contract price for the full proposed performance duration. The Government will evaluate the schedule to assess the strength of understanding of the project scope, restrictions which must be considered in the schedule e.g., permitting (see Section 01 10 00), long lead items, etc. The Government will evaluate the strength of understanding of events associated with coordinating design submittals, reviews and incorporating review comments, the offeror's capability to schedule the complete project within the proposed performance duration and the realism of the schedule. The Government will evaluate the design packaging plan for logic, reasonableness, how it facilitates meeting the proposed contract duration and how it facilitates the Government’s ability to timely perform its design reviews. The packaging plan should minimize risk to the Contractor and to the Government for tear-out and coordination for reviews.

For example, is the footing and foundation plan based on adequate design for building loads; etc.? A schedule that offers advantage(s) to the Government over one that merely indicates an adequate understanding of the scope, restrictions, major milestones and general understanding of the various events that can affect start and completion of construction may be rated more favorably.

5.3. VOLUME 1 - TAB C – SUBFACTOR 3 - ORGANIZATION/TECHNICAL APPROACH

5.3.1. Submission Requirements:

5.3.1.1. Provide information that describes the offeror’s organization and intended technical approach to executing the design-build contract per the detailed requirements herein. Demonstrate an understanding of the risk management process associated with the design-build process. Limit the information to ten (10) pages or less. Clearly but concisely describe the organizational and technical approach to project management and execution.

5.3.1.2. Organization. List the design and construction entities and describe their resources and how their resources will be utilized, their roles and responsibilities and any contractual arrangements that have been established. Clearly describe any teaming or joint venture arrangements, including a clear description of each entity’s roles and responsibilities on the project. A copy of the teaming or joint venture agreement(s) may be appended to the plan (not included in the page limitation). Include a simple organizational chart, illustrating the organization, including the proposed quality control group(s).

Present a matrix of responsibilities for each entity in executing the key work breakdown structure

Section 00 22 11 Page 8 activities of the project, including design and construction activities for each major feature (i.e., site work, utilities and each building). Identify the design firm(s) chosen for the project, if not to be self-performed. Identify the specific entities chosen as key subcontractors for mechanical and electrical installation. The Offeror shall document unequivocal teaming arrangements with its design entity (ies) and key subcontractors (see attachment 9). Describe the proposed management structure for the team, describing the how the design and construction process will be managed and the authorities and the delegations of authority within the team. Include a key personnel organization chart that clearly depicts the key positions and the names of the personnel, their firm affiliations and their job locations and their job/position title within the organization. The key personnel organization chart shall be consistent with the corporate organization chart, with the matrix of responsibilities assigned to the D-B team entities, and with the list of key personnel to be provided under the Tab, “KEY PERSONNEL CAPABILITIES

AND EXPERIENCE”.

5.3.1.3. Technical Approach for Design and Construction. Describe the technical approach to design and construction of the facility. Include any considerations of fast-tracking design and construction, panelized construction, pre-engineered components or buildings, tilt-up, pre-cast parts, standard designs stick-built framing, etc. The Government is looking for ways to streamline construction and manage labor and other resource constraints in an effort to reduce costs and achieve an aggressive schedule. Factory built modules or similar assemblies shall not be utilized.

5.3.1.4. Collaborative Approach for Design-build. Describe interactions within the team and with the Corps of Engineers during the design. Discuss how the configuration management system will track and control design evolution and changes during design for quality control and to facilitate quicker Government reviews. Describe the role of the construction team members during design. Describe the type of Building Information Modeling (BIM) system to be used on the project (See section 01 33 16 and Attachment F of that Document for CADD/BIM requirements and for Contractor Electives for additional consideration, as described below in the evaluation criteria) and how the team intends to develop and use the model. Describe the role and interaction of the design team with the construction team during construction, addressing, as a minimum, maintaining configuration management of the design during construction, including control and approval of revisions to the accepted design; requests for information; shop drawing and submittal reviews and approvals; progress meetings; site visits, if any;

contract completion, closeout, as-built and completion documentation.

5.3.1.5. Planning and Scheduling. Describe the time control capabilities and systems to be used to plan design and construction and how the schedule will be used to manage…
