Electronic quotations are preferred over paper responses, unless other arrangements have been made. Send completed quotation to Lynne Reed and lynne.d.reed@usace.army.mil

Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender’s request and expense, unless they are destroyed during testing.

(2) Any quotation received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of quotations is late and will not be considered unless it is received before purchase order issuance and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late quotation would not unduly delay the acquisition.

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that quotations cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of quotations by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of quotations will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(g) Issuance of purchase order. Quotations should contain the quoter’s best technical and price terms. The Contracting Officer may reject any or all quotations. The Contracting Officer may issue a purchase order to other than the quoter with the lowest priced quotation. After the evaluation of quotations, the Contracting Officer may negotiate final terms with one or more quoters of the Government’s choice before issuing any purchase order. The Contracting Officer will not negotiate with any quoters other than those of the Government’s choice and will not use the formal source selection procedures described in FAR part 15.

(h) Multiple purchase orders. The Government may issue a purchase order for any item or group of items of a quotation, unless the quoter qualifies the quotation by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, quotations may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified.

Information concerning the status of the evaluation and/or award will NOT be available after receipt of proposals.

2. 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 three (3) projects complete or substantially complete no more than five

(5) years before the proposal due date, that demonstrate the offeror’s relevant experience fabricating projects similar in size, scope, and complexity to the work required by this solicitation.

The Government will evaluate how the projects submitted by the offeror demonstrate similar work experience that is relevant to this solicitation. Each project shall demonstrate experience with fabrication in accordance with American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) bridge certification program and American Welding Society (AWS) D1.5 welding standards for fracture critical components. In addition, offerors shall demonstrate experience applying the 5-E-Z paint system.

“Substantially complete” is defined as having completed more than 75% of the project work at the time of proposal submission. 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.

Each project submitted shall include the following content:

1. Contract number and Offeror’s and/or major subcontractor’s specific role in the project.

2. Project name and location.

3. Name of customer, agency, or firm.

4. Point of contact (POC) information for the customer, agency, or firm, including name, title, email, and telephone number.

5. Scope of project (designed, built, and installed new major features, rebuilt select components, etc.);

focus on fabrication aspects of the project.

6. Total Dollar Amount.

7. Date of completion or anticipated date of completion and percent complete.

8. Key personnel information for each project, including but not limited to the fabricator’s Quality

Control Personnel and Project Manager. Key personnel information should include, but not be limited to:

a. Name.

b. Role in contract.

c. Years of experience.

d. Education and/or other relevant qualifications.

e. Current professional registration, if applicable.

If an offeror is proposing to utilize a subcontractor for the bulkhead or lifting beam fabrication, the offeror must submit a letter of commitment to use the proposed subcontractor on the project, signed both by the subcontractor and the offeror. See attached “Letter of Commitment” example. The commitment letter must be submitted even if the subcontractor is in some way affiliated with the offeror (for example, the subcontractor is a subsidiary of a joint venture partner, or a subsidiary of a firm to which the joint venture partner is also a subsidiary). Include the subcontractor letters of commitment in Volume 1, Factor 1, Experience.

Evaluation method:

Three (3) projects will be evaluated. If an offeror submits more than three projects, only the first three projects will be evaluated. Offerors shall describe each project with enough detail to ensure that the Government can meaningfully assess how well the projects submitted meet the evaluation criteria outlined below.

In determining strengths and weaknesses, the Government will consider the following when evaluating the offeror’s Experience:

Projects must be similar in scope, dollar value and complexity for the fabrication and installation of bulkheads, gates or similar structures and the removal and disposal of similar bulkheads or gates.

Each project shall demonstrate experience with fabrication in accordance with American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) bridge certification program and American Welding Society (AWS) D1.5 welding standards for fracture critical components.

Each project shall demonstrate experience applying the 5-E-Z paint system.

Government will rate this factor using the combined technical/risk rating as follows:

Table 1. Combined Technical/Risk Ratings Color Rating Description Blue Outstanding Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

Purple Good Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Green Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Yellow Marginal Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is unawardable.

3. FACTOR 2 (TAB 2) – Past Performance

Submission Requirements:

Past Performance Questionnaire will be submitted for each project listed by the offeror under Factor 1 – Experience.

See Attachment 1, Past Performance Questionnaire, for a form that shall be used to fulfill this requirement.

If a completed Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluation is available, the offeror shall submit it with the proposal.

If there is not a completed CPARS evaluation, the offeror shall submit a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) for the project. See Attachment 1. Do not submit a PPQ when a completed CPARS is available.

o If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the offeror shall complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s).

o 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, Lynne Reed, via email at Lynne.D.Reed@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date. The offerors shall instruct the clients to refer to the solicitation number in the subject line.

o PPQs are source selection materials. All successfully submitted PPQs will receive an email confirmation upon receipt. If the offeror does not receive the confirmation, it is the offeror’s responsibility to follow up to ensure the government has received the information.

Offerors may provide explanation on problems encountered on past projects and the corrective actions taken by the offeror. Please limit this to one page per project.

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 (Past Performance Information Retrieval System) including CPARS, using all CAGE/DUNS (Commercial and Government Entity Code/Data Universal Numbering System) 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 (Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases, 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 Government seeks a contractor who maintains a strong commitment to customer satisfaction and superior performance. It is the offeror’s responsibility to affirmatively document these qualities in his technical proposal. In doing so, be mindful that “past performance” and “experience” are not identical. Experience measures what the offeror has done and how many times, or for how long, the offeror has done it. Past performance, however, measures how well the offeror has performed.

The past performance evaluation results in an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. The recency and relevancy of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the contractor’s performance shall be considered. These are combined to establish one performance confidence assessment rating for each offeror.

There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation: recency, relevancy (including text of data), and quality (including general trends in contractor performance and source of information).

The first aspect is to evaluate the recency of the offeror’s past performance. For this solicitation, recent projects are those completed or substantially completed (as defined above) within five (5) years of the date that proposals are due.

The second aspect is to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the offeror is to the work required by the solicitation. There are four levels of relevancy as shown in the table below.

PAST PERFORMANCE RELEVANCY

RATING DESCRIPTION

Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

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

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

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

More relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

The third aspect of the past performance is to determine how well the offeror performed on its past performance projects. If any performance issues are identified, the Government will consider the number, type and severity of the problems and effectiveness of corrective actions taken.

Based on a consideration of those three aspects, the Government will assign a final Performance Confidence Assessment Rating for this factor. The Government will review the past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance confidence assessment. In conducting a performance confidence assessment, each offeror shall be assigned one of the ratings using the table below.

PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT

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 record 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.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for which information on past performance is not available, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance, and therefore may receive a “Neutral Confidence” rating.

4. FACTOR 3 (TAB 3) – Project Management Plan

The Offeror shall demonstrate capability to successfully complete this project and fabrication quality requirements by providing information on the key elements noted below. Include key personnel involved in fabrication and quality control. The maximum is 10 pages not including the Gantt Chart and/or schedule.

Successful demonstration should include, at a minimum:

1. A detailed explanation of the quality control and the methods which will be utilized to complete the work.

2. List of major equipment to be used on this job. Describe fabrication shop facilities. Describe means and methods used to move the assemblies during fabrication and to measure control dimensions.

3. An organization chart and narrative that outlines how the Contractor’s team will be organized, roles and responsibilities of all parties, and lines of authority.

4. The qualifications and experience of the Offeror’s project team, including key personnel.

a. Resume of Project Manager, including a list of projects performed that are similar in scope and complexity to the requirements in this solicitation.

b. Resume of contractor quality control (CQC) Manager, including a list of projects performed that are similar in scope and complexity to the requirements in this solicitation. (Refer to Section 01 45 04.00 28 for minimum individual education/experience requirements.)

c. Offeror shall submit documentation for weld inspectors that demonstrates minimum compliance with the following requirements: Lead Inspector must be either a Senior Certified Welding Inspector (SCWI) or a Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) with a D1.5 endorsement or a CWI that took the exam under D1.5. All other inspectors must be CWIs. CAWIs or noncertified inspectors are not permitted.

5. Offer shall submit documentation for paint contractor that demonstrates the paint shop is either SSPC QP3 (shop painting certification program) qualified or hold an AISC sophisticated paint endorsement.

Paint inspectors must be certified as an SSPC Protective Coating Inspector (PCI) or NACE Coating Inspection Program (CIP) to a level of 2 or 3.

6. Offeror shall submit certification for the fabricator that demonstrates the fabricator is certified to one of the following AISC Quality Certification Programs: Major Bridge Fabrication (CBR), Certified Bridge Fabricator – Advance (ABR), Certified Bridge Fabricator – Intermediate (IBR), or Certified

Hydraulic Steel Structures Fabricator (HSF). In addition, the fabricator is required to be certified with a Fracture Critical endorsement (F).

7. A detailed work plan including, but not limited to: schedule in Gantt Chart format, description of fabrication sequencing, identification of hold points, preparation and disposition of non-conformance reports, shop testing, delivery plan and field operational testing.

Evaluation Method:

In determining strengths and weaknesses, the Government will consider the following when evaluating the offeror’s Project Management Plan (PMP):

Whether the offeror’s schedule has realistic durations and timeframes for each required work task and includes work task sequencing in a logical order;

The extent to which the offeror’s narrative demonstrates the offeror’s understanding of the scope of work and the challenges to be encountered during construction;

Whether the offerors work schedule demonstrates the ability to complete the work on time, despite schedule constraints and potential contingencies that may arise.

A detailed explanation of the quality control program and the methods which will be utilized to complete the work.

An organization chart that outlines how the Contractor’s team will be organized, roles and responsibilities of all parties, and lines of authority. If the Offeror is proposing to subcontract any portion of the work to a fabrication shop, a narrative shall be included that clearly outlines how the Offeror will ensure compliance with the quality control requirements of Section 01 45 00.00 10.

The qualifications and experience of the Offeror’s key personnel.

The Government will rate this factor using the combined technical/risk rating as follows:

TECHNICAL RATING METHOD

COLOR RATING DESCRIPTION

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

Purple 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.

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

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

Red 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.

RISK RATING METHOD

ADJECTIVAL RATING DESCRIPTION

Low

Proposal may contain weakness(es) which have little potential to cause disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance.

Normal contractor effort and normal Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties.

Moderate

Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which may potentially cause disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome difficulties.

High

Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which is likely to cause significant disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Is unlikely to overcome any difficulties, even with special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring.

Unacceptable Proposal contains a material failure or a combination of significant weaknesses that increases the risk of unsuccessful performance to an unacceptable level.
