8. PROPOSAL SUBMITTAL INSTRUCTIONS

In an effort to reduce paperwork and cost, all proposals shall be submitted electronically via email directly to:

Gloria Garside: Gloria.Garside@usace.army.mil

Constance Ellard: Constance.R.Ellard@usace.army.mil All submissions shall be in Adobe PDF format with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) applied to all documents that will enable word searches to be conducted using Adobe-compatible PDF software. The two (2) volumes listed below shall be submitted as “SEPARATE” single files. Offerors may use compression utilities such as 7-Zip, WinZip or PKZip to reduce file size and facilitate transmission. Offerors are encouraged to send both files in the same email, if possible.

For proposals that are too large for email, offerors may contact the two personnel listed above and request a DoD SAFE file transfer drop off request. This request does not constitute the submission of an offer, it does not absolve the offeror the responsibility of a timely submission, nor does it extend the submission deadline. Offerors are responsible to ensure that the Government has the offeror’s complete proposal no later than the submission deadline.

For the purposes of determining whether the proposal was received "late" in accordance with FAR 15.208, the time and date the file(s) are received by the USACE Outlook Server or submission time for DoD SAFE will be the time and date the Government received the proposal. Do not assume that electronic communication is instantaneous. Please make allowances for delays in transmittal.

Page limitations for each factor are identified within the instructions, where applicable. Title sheets, tables of contents, dividers, and blank pages are not included in the page limitations and will not be counted as such. A one-page cover letter or title sheet is recommended as the first page of each file identifying your firm’s name, the file’s title, and identifying any applicable contractor team arrangements as defined in Volume II, Tab C. Any extraneous information or cover letters that provide additional information about your firm that is not requested by this solicitation will not be reviewed or evaluated.

Pages for each factor should be separately and sequentially numbered (i.e.: the first page submitted for evaluation for each factor should be “1”). All text shall be at least 10 pt. font and legible. All text shall be typed and single-spaced. Each page shall be 8-1/2” x 11” (organizational chart, risk assessment and project schedule are the only documents that may be submitted on an 11” x 17”). Margins should be no less than 1” (right, left, top, and bottom).

Pages that exceed the page limitations for any factor will not be reviewed and the information contained on those pages will not be considered for evaluation. Page limitations are per factor (i.e.: an Offeror may not reduce the page count for one factor to submit additional pages for another factor).

If the signed commitment is not fully executed by both parties and provided with the Past Performance Proposal, subcontractor references will not be evaluated or considered.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of ensuring detailed, current, accurate and complete Past Performance and Experience information rests with the Offeror. The past performance information required in this solicitation shall be provided by the Offeror. Proposals that do not contain the information requested risk rejection or less favorable performance rating by the Government.

Obtaining Past Performance Records:

Past performance records may be obtainable by Offerors using one of the following methods:

(1) Accessing Past Performance information directly from Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) website at https://www.cpars.gov/ for CCASS completed before 27 June 2014 and for merged CPARS completed after 1 July 2014. CPARS is an electronic repository of performance information collected by all the major federal performance reporting systems and can be accessed at the aforementioned website.

All Department of Defense (DoD) employees (military and civilian), including DoD Contractors that are working on site (military/government facilities) or contractors working offsite using Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) are required to use certificates from DoD Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to access CPARS. If the contractor doesn't work on site or with GFE they are encouraged to obtain and use a certificate from an External Certificate 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 Certificate Authorities (ECAs) and Interim External Certificate Authorities (IECAs) provide digital certificates to the DoD's private industry partners, contractors using their own equipment or working in non-government facilities, allied partners, and other agencies.

Additional information about the PKI certificate can be found at:

https://www.cpars.gov/sysreq.htm#collapseSysDoc1

The Offeror will also need a DUNS number and Marketing Partner Identification Number (MPIN) to log onto CPARS. The MPIN number was selected by whoever registered your company in the System for Award Management (SAM) Registry at https://sam.gov/. If you do not know your MPIN number, you will need to contact the SAM help desk by emailing them from the email link on the SAM webpage. Please be aware that they will only release the MPIN number to the person who originally registered your company. Additional instructions on locating your MPIN is in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section under the Help tab.

or -

(2) Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) may be used to provide or supplement a firm’s past performance with other than U.S. Governmental clients. A PPQ form is attached to this solicitation for convenience (see Attachment 1). Contact your client point of contact (POC) for the project you need a past performance record and request the POC to complete the PPQ. The PPQ included in this solicitation is provided for the Offeror to submit to the client for each project the Offeror may need a past performance record for to meet the requirements in this synopsis. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client POC. 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, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). It is the Offeror’s responsibility to follow-up with client POCs to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, Sydney Elliott, Contract Specialist, Sydney.A.Elliott@usace.army.mil, Gloria Garside, Contract Specialist, Gloria.Garside@usace.army.mil, and Constance Ellard, Contracting Officer, Constance.R.Ellard@usace.army.mil, prior to proposal closing date.

The Narrative should address the Offeror's commitment to providing subcontracting opportunities, as well as evidence of planned and /or continued outreach efforts to encourage and use small businesses. The Narrative should provide detailed supporting documentation regarding the individual commitment expressed in percentages for evaluators to determine the goals stated are realistic.

(b) Check the applicable size and categories for the PRIME Offeror for this procurement – Check all applicable boxes:

Total Percentage planned for Large Business(es): = __________% Total Percentage planned for Small Business(es): = __________% (Small Business Prime Contractors – Include yourselves in the above percentage.)

For example: If you are a Small Business Prime Contractor and will be doing 40% of the work and you will be subcontracting another 20% of the Total Contract Value to other small business firms, then your Total Percentage planned for Small Business will equal 60%.

(d) Indicate the total percentage of participation to be performed by each type of subcategory small business. The percentage of work performed by Small Businesses that qualify in multiple small business categories may be counted in each category:

For example: Firm A (WOSB and SDVOSB) performing 2%; and Firm B (SDB, HubZ and WOSB) performing 3%. Results equate to: SB 5%; SDB 3%; HubZone 3%; WOSB 5%; SDVOSB 2%;

VOSB 2%;). SDVOSBs are also VOSBs automatically; however, VOSBs are not automatically SDVOSBs.
