NOTES

1. See SECTION 00 21 01, INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS for evaluation of options. The Government reserves the right to exercise Option Items 0006 and 0008 within 90 days of Notice to Proceed. The Government reserves the right to exercise Option Items 0007, 0009, and 0010 within 730 days of Notice to Proceed. The Government reserves the right to exercise Option Items 0011 - 0015 within 365 days of Notice to Proceed.

Abbreviation: Operations and Maintenance (O&M).

2. This solicitation will use a "Pricing Includes Variation Over Time" (PIVOT) pricing strategy. The Total Adjusted Price (TAP) is a weighted average of the total contract price across all requested and active pricing periods, as defined above. The TAP will be the single pricing indicator for the best value determination. In the event of an award, the award price will be the pricing (per CLIN) submitted by the awardee in the period that the proposal is awarded. See Section 00 22 00, paragraph 9.1.4 for Price Factor submission instructions. Prices must be entered for all items of the schedule (highlighted in yellow above). Total amounts submitted without prices being entered on individual items will be rejected.

3. Option Items 0011-0015 have been written as extended pricing to simplify the TAP calculation. These Option Items will be written as unit prices (rounded to the nearest cent) in the final award documents, with unit price calculated based upon the units and quantities referenced in the CLIN description(s).

4. A modification to a proposal which provides for a single adjustment to the total amount submitted, should state the application of the adjustment to each respective lump sum price affected. If the modification is not so apportioned, the single adjustment will be applied to Item No. 0001.

5. Contract duration is for award basic and option items. No contract duration extension will be provided upon award of any option items.

6. Pricing in each PIVOT period should represent the offeror's best pricing, per CLIN, within the respective award period(s). Period durations will be tracked from the due date of first pricing proposals through contract award.

Subsequent amendments will retain and utilize that date for active period calculation purposes. In the event that an award period (as defined in this solicitation bid schedule) expires, the respective period will automatically be declared 'dead.' In that event, an amendment may or may not be issued, but the period(s) will be removed from the TAP calculation and the BVTO will occur with a TAP calculated only with active remaining periods. The offeror should not assume that updated/revised pricing may be requested prior to award within any period indicated.

7. The Government reserves the right to amend the project period of performance, pricing period durations, the respective period weighting(s), the number of active periods, and/or the contents of the CLIN schedule via amendment. Any revision(s) will be clarified in the respective amendment(s), and revised pricing for all CLINs for all periods will be requested.

8. Quantities for unit priced items are estimated only and the respective unit price will prevail in the event of an overrun or underrun subject to General Conditions (Contract Clauses) Clause FAR 52.211-18 “Variation in Estimated Quantities”.

9. Provide a supplemental price breakdown as part of the Volume I Pricing proposal. The pricing breakdown should total the sum of all basic CLINs in the first period of the PIVOT Proposal/Price Schedule. A template file has been provided under separate cover with this solicitation. In addition to the Supplemental Price Breakdown, the offeror may provide a short narrative that communicates primary cost drivers to the base bid that may not be clearly depicted in the Supplemental Price Breakdown. The contents of the narrative is at the Offeror’s discretion, but may be used by the Government to gauge current market trends/conditions, may be used in the development of future projects, and may be used if an amendment should be issued for the project. Please note that the contents of your Supplemental Price Breakdown and/or narrative will have no impact on the award decision.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

1. GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK

Construct a Radio Frequency Facility (RF Hangar) at Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota: This project will be executed using a design-bid-build (DBB) project delivery method, which will require the contractor to provide the government with a complete facility and warranty based on the Request for Proposal (RFP).

The estimated construction cost of this project is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000.

This project will provide a new, approximately 64,500 SF, Radio Frequency Facility (RF Hangar) with a single aircraft measurement bay and all associated back shop, administrative and facility support spaces.

This project will include a space or spaces constructed to secure area standard Intelligence Community Directive/Intelligence Community Standard 705 (ICD/ICS 705) See 01 14 00 WORK RESTRICTIONS for additional information and requirements.

The facilities will be designed as permanent construction in accordance with the DoD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 1-200-01, General Building Requirements and UFC 1-200-02, High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements. Each facility should be compatible with applicable DoD, Air Force, and base design standards. In addition, local materials and construction techniques shall be used where cost effective. This project will comply with DoD antiterrorism/force protection requirements per unified facilities criteria. All work shall be in accordance with RFP documents issued within this solicitation.

The Government reserves the right to award a contract without discussions in accordance with (IAW) FAR 52.215-1. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a technical and cost/price standpoint. Offerors shall organize their proposals as described herein.

Proposals may be determined non-compliant for failure to follow this format and may be rejected from further consideration.

Competition for this contract will be full and open competition. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with a corresponding small business size standard of $39.5M.

THE OFFEROR SHOULD BE REGISTERED IN SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT WEBSITE

(SAM.GOV) FOR NAICS CODE 236220 PRIOR TO THE DATE PROPOSALS ARE DUE.

2. TECHNICAL RATINGS

The acquisition approach for this project will be a Bifurcated Best Value RFP following FAR Part 15. It provides the advantages of a traditional Best Value Trade-off procurement method but advertises the 95% or 100% back check design while the 100% ready to advertise design is being developed. The Bifurcated Best Value process means that a portion of technical proposals will be due first. At that time, the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will convene and begin to independently evaluate each proposal against the factors in the solicitation. Not less than 30 days after submission of Volume I proposals, the amendment for 100% ready to advertise design will be issued and offerors will have not less than 30 days to submit their price proposals (Volume II) to include Factor 4, Small Business Participation Plan and Price. Upon receipt of Volume II, the SSEB will reconvene to evaluate the remaining evaluation factors. Price Analysis review and the Source Selection Authority review of the Best Value Trade-off will commence after Volume II submission.

Offerors must submit a Volume I (Technical) proposal in order to submit a Volume II (Pricing) proposal.

Offerors shall assume that revisions to Volume I (Technical) proposals will not be allowed, accepted, or evaluated after formal Volume I submission on the requested date – unless requested by the Government by amendment or other formal correspondence.

The evaluation ratings for Technical Factors 2 and 3 will be on an adjectival basis in conjunction with a narrative composed of the discussion of the particular strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies of the proposal. The Source Selection Team (SST) will use a combined technical/risk rating system that includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings. Combined technical/risk evaluations shall utilize the combined technical/risk ratings listed in Table 1. The Combined technical/risk ratings will be used to evaluate Factor 2 Project Management Plan and Factor 3 Key Personnel. The evaluation rating that will be used for Factor 1 Past Performance and Factor 4 Small Business Participation is described further below.

Table 1: Combined Technical/Risk Ratings Color Rating Description Blue Outstanding Proposal demonstrates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths and/or at least one significant strength, 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 or significant 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 is unawardable, and/or risk of performance is unacceptably high.

RATING DEFINITIONS

Strength: is an aspect of an offeror's proposal with merit or will exceed specified performance or capability requirements to the advantage of the Government during contract performance.

Significant Strength: is an aspect of an Offeror’s proposal with appreciable merit or will exceed specified performance or capability requirements to the considerable advantage of the Government during contract performance

Weakness: means a flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

See FAR 15.001.

Significant Weakness: in the proposal is a flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001.

Deficiency: is a material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. See FAR 15.001.

3. PAST PERFORMANCE RATING

The Past Performance evaluation factor (Factor 1) assesses the degree of confidence the Government has in an Offeror’s ability to supply products and services that meet users’ needs, based on a demonstrated record of performance. The Past Performance evaluation results in an assessment of the Offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. The Past Performance evaluation considers each Offeror's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the contract’s requirements. One performance confidence assessment rating is assigned for each Offeror after evaluating the Offeror's recent Past Performance, focusing on performance that is relevant to the contract requirements. There are two aspects to the Past Performance evaluation, Relevancy and Contractor Performance, which are described below:

a. Relevancy. The first aspect of the Past Performance evaluation is to determine how relevant previous projects accomplished by the Offeror is to the anticipated work to be accomplished under this project scope. Recent is defined as Past Performance on contracts that had a construction completion date (otherwise known as a building occupancy date (BOD)) within the past ten (10) years of this solicitation release. Relevancy is defined as similarity of items stated within this solicitation such as:

types of projects, dollar value, contract type, and relative complexity. With respect to relevancy, more relevant Past Performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the Past Performance confidence assessment. Relevancy is not a separate proposal rating but is used to develop an overall Past Performance Confidence Assessment. The four levels of relevancy ratings are:

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

Not Relevant. Present/Past Performance effort involved little or none of the scope and

b. Contractor Performance. The second aspect of the Past Performance evaluation is to determine how well the contractor performed on the contracts. The Past Performance evaluation performed in support of a current source selection does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the Offeror’s Past Performance on past contracts; rather, the Past Performance evaluation process gathers information from stakeholders on how well the Offeror performed those past contracts. The Source Selection Evaluation Board will review this Past Performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance confidence assessment.

After evaluating relevancy and contractor performance, a Performance Confidence Assessment rating will be determined. In conducting a performance confidence assessment, each Offeror shall be assigned one of the following ratings:

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.

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.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral). 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. Per Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.305(a) (2) (iv), “In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant Past Performance or for whom information on Past Performance is not available, the Offeror may not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on Past Performance.”

4. SMALL BUSINESS RATING METHOD

The small business evaluation for Factor 4 will utilize the following ratings as stated in the below table for this solicitation.

Table 2: Small Business Rating Method Color Rating Description Blue Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Purple Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Green Acceptable Proposal indicates an adequate approach and understanding of small business objectives.

Yellow Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet small business objectives.

5. 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 Authority 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 is at https://www.cpars.gov/pki_info.htm web page.

You will also need your Unique Entity ID (EID) 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 web page. 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 located 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. 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. Completed PPQs should be submitted with 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 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, Shawn Adkins, Contract Specialist, via email at Shawn.A.Adkins@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date.

Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs;

this does not preclude an Offeror submitting a previously completed PPQ as long as the full PPQ is submitted and completed in its entirety. This also does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. If a PPQ is to be submitted for a project, the complete PPQ shall be submitted (either by the client POC or the Offeror) prior to proposal closing date.
