The Government w ill also consider w hether the approach reduces on-site craft labor and susceptibility to inclement w eather delays.

5.3.2.4. Collaborative Approach for Design-Build. The use of 3-dimensional (3D)

Building Information Model (BIM) technology in the design process is a requirement. The BIM requirements are described in 01 33 39.00 10 ADVANCED MODELING (BIM/CIM/GIS/CA D) REQUIREMENTS and references. The Government w ill evaluate the integration of the design and construction entities and the staff during design and construction. The constructor must be actively involved in the design process, not just leaving it up to the designer (see UAI clause 5152.236-9001 "Contractor's Role During Design Process", located in Section 00 72 00).

5.3.2.5. The Offeror must have an effective configuration management system to control and track revisions to the design. The Government w ill evaluate the Offeror’s understanding of the design process and the roles of the designers of record and the Government review ers. The Government w ill evaluate the role of the designer in maintaining design integrity throughout the process, including its key roles during construction. The Government places greater value in collaborative development of the Building Information Model as early as possible during the design and construction process. A team that includes subcontractors (e.g., the key subcontractors for electrical and mechanical, the f ire protection subcontractor, fabricators, and other major subcontractors and suppliers) during design development, prior to release of the applicable design packages for construction, so that systems and trade coordination can reduce interferences, increase constructability and eff iciency of construction operations may be rated more favorably. A team that includes one or more BIM “Contractor Electives”, as described in 01 33 39.00 10 ADVANCED MODELING (BIM/CIM/GIS/CA D) REQUIREMENTS and references may be rated more favorably.

5.3.2.6. Planning and Scheduling. The Government w ill evaluate the offeror’s scheduling capabilities to manage an integrated design-build schedule. Teams that clearly communicate demonstrated experience in BIM may be rated more favorably.

5.3.2.7. Quality Control. The Government w ill evaluate the offeror’s capabilities and understanding of the contractually required quality control processes for both design and construction. The Government places value upon continued participation by the designers of record during the construction quality control process. The Government w ill evaluate the adequacy of the staff ing plan to cover all required tasks and responsibilities.

5.4. VOLUME 1 - TAB D – FACTOR 4 - PROPOSED CONTRA CT

DURATION AND SUMMARY SCHEDULE

5.4.1. Submission Requirements:

5.4.1.1. 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 specif ied in the CLIN.

5.4.1.2. Summary Schedule: Submit a summary level schedule for integrated design and construction. Schedules or diagrams, in a size that is easily read, but not exceeding 11” x 17”. The summary schedule shall be bound and placed in an appendix, clearly labeled as Appendix- Tab D -Summary Schedule. This summary schedule w ill, after contract aw ard, be replaced w ith 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 w hich milestones are to be achieved. Provide a schedule to complete all w ork based on an arbitrary estimated, non-binding Notice to Proceed date of 25 June 2021. Offeror may use a critical path or other method of (h)is/er choice; how ever, schedules shall be graphically represented. The proposed project schedule shall reflect the proposed contract duration. Give attention to the follow ing 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 30 00.24: Other Administrative and Special Requirements). 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. Limit the narrative for Tab D to 5 pages. The summary schedule (see requirements in paragraph 5.4.1.2) is not included in the page limitation.

(b) Show the design phase, including events associated w ith coordinating the interim and f inal design submittals for each package and the proper handling of the review comments for each design package (See section 01 33 00.32).

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

(d) Show schedule line items for environmental permits and notif ications and utility connection permits.

(e) Show turnover of 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.

(f) Show as-built submissions (See section 01 78 39.00 24: As-Built Drawings).

(g) Constraints: Offeror must demonstrate the capability and f lexibility 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, w eather).

Indicate the anticipated overall critical path on the schedule.

5.4.2. Evaluation Criteria:

5.4.2.1. Proposed Contract Duration: Unless changed during negotiations, this duration w ill become the contractually binding performance period. The Government w ill 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 w ell the proposed summary schedule supports the proposed duration. Proposals w ill be evaluated based upon logic, constraints and typical construction durations. The Government w ill rate the proposed duration matching the benchmark duration as “acceptable”. A proposed duration that is longer than the proposed benchmark duration may be view ed as less favorable than a duration that meets the benchmark. The Government may consider an unreasonably condensed contract duration, w hich places additional cost or schedule risk on the Government or w hich may create a risk of contract or performance failure, as a w eakness or a deficiency, depending upon the evaluators' judgment. No advantage may be considered for differences less than 21 calendar days.

5.4.2.2. Summary Schedule: The Government w ill 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 betw een the scheduled completion date and the required performance completion period and may be rated less favorably. The Government w ill evaluate the schedule to assess the strength of understanding of the project scope, restrictions w hich must be considered in the schedule e.g., permitting (see Section 01 41 26.02 24), long lead items, etc. The Government w ill evaluate the strength of understanding of events associated w ith coordinating design submittals, review s and incorporating review comments, the offeror's capability to schedule the complete project w ithin the proposed performance duration and the realism of the schedule. The Government w ill 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 review s. The packaging plan should minimize risk to the Contractor and to the Government for tear-out and coordination for review s. 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 w ill be rated more favorably.

6.0 VOLUME 2 – FACTOR 5 - PAST PERFORMANCE

6.1. VOLUME 2 – TAB A – PAST PERFORMA NCE

6.1.1. Submission Requirements:

Submit past performance evaluations and ratings for each project the Offeror included in its proposal for Factor 1 - Volume 1 - Tab A Specialized Experience.

If available, submit Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) Performance Evaluations ratings. For projects w hich w ere designed and/or constructed for other government entities, submit the performance appraisal sheets used by that government entity if available. For projects cited in Volume 1 - Tab A Specialized Experience not covered in the CPARS database or other Government Design Performance Rating System, submit a Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 6).

6.1.1.1. CPARS Evaluations

Firms are requested to retrieve their CPARS past performance information directly from CPARS available at: http://w ww.cpars.gov. CPARS is an electronic repository of performance information collected by all the major federal performance reporting systems. Logging onto CPARS w ill require the follow ing:

All Department of Defense (DoD) employees (military and civilian), including DoD Contractors that are w orking on site (military/government facilities) or contractors w orking offsite using Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) are required to use certif icates from DoD Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to access CPARS. If the contractor doesn't w ork on site or w ith GFE they are encouraged to obtain and use a certif icate from an External Certif icate Authority (ECA). For DoD users, the use of PKI Login is Mandatory. Federal and Contractor users can use the PKI login category if they have PKI.

External Certif icate Authority External Certif icate Authorities (ECAs) and Interim External Certif icate Authorities (IECAs) provide digital certif icates to the DoD's private industry partners, contractors using their ow n equipment or w orking in non-government facilities, allied partners, and other agencies.

Additional information about the PKI certif icate is at https://w w w.cpars.gov/pki_info.htm w eb page.

6.1.1.2. You w ill also need your DUNS number and Marketing Partner Identif ication Number http://www.cpars.gov/ http://www.cpars.gov/pki_info.htm http://www.cpars.gov/pki_info.htm

(MPIN) to log onto CPARS. The MPIN number w as selected by w hoever registered your f irm in the System for Aw ard Management (SAM) Registry at https://w ww.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/. If you do not know your MPIN number, you w ill need to contact the SAM help desk by emailing them from the email link on the https://w ww.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ w eb page. Please be aw are that they w ill only release the MPIN number to the person w ho originally registered your f irm. Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ)

The Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 6) is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the client. The Past Performance Questionnaire should be completed by an ow ner or ow ner’s representative not aff iliated w ith your f irm. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact.

Completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted w ith 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 w ith the proposal the f irst page of the PPQ (Attachment 6), w hich w ill provide contract and client Information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow -up w ith clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact, via email at melissa.r.harlon@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. How ever, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

6.1.1.3. Government Utilization of Alternate Information Sources for Past Performance

The Government w ill assess the past performance on projects submitted under the Specialized Experience Factor and reserves the right to conduct telephone interview s w ith points of contact identif ied in the proposal or to review personal know ledge. In addition, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance of the Offeror on the submitted projects and any other previous w ork. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/aff iliate) identif ied in the offeror's proposal, inquiries of ow ner representative(s), Federal Aw ardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other know n 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 w ith the Offeror.

6.1.2. Evaluation Criteria:

6.1.2.1. The Government w ill perform a performance confidence assessment of the offeror’s probability of successfully meeting the contract requirements, considering the degree of success of the team's recent (w ell under w ay or turned over no longer than 10 years preceding the date of this solicitation), relevant experience.

See explanation of “w ell underw ay” and relevancy under the Factor “Specialized Experience”. The rating system used for the performance confidence assessment is described in paragraph 8.5.

Relevancy: The Government w ill f irst assess and rate the relevancy of recent projects accomplished by the offeror to the scope of this contract for overall application to the performance confidence assessment ratings described hereinafter. The projects w ill include those submitted under the Specialized http://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ http://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ http://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ http://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ http://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ mailto:melissa.r.harlon@usace.army.mil

Experience Factor as w ell as from other sources described above. This rating is not a separate proposal rating but is only used in developing an overall past performance confidence assessment rating assigned to the Past Performance Factor. The past performance relevancy ratings are described in Paragraph 8.5.3.

6.1.2.2. Performance: The Government w ill next consider how w ell the offeror performed on the contracts. The Government w ill consider the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor performance. Past performance on projects w ith more relevance w ill typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment rating than past performance on projects of lesser relevance. Ow ners/references may be asked to comment on items such as quality of design or construction, timeliness, management of the w ork, subcontractor management, including timely payment to subs or suppliers, safety, relations betw een ow ner and designer or contractor, level of support for such things as as-built documentation, O&M manuals, training, correcting design or construction errors, w arranty w ork, etc. (see the interview form at attachment 6).
