6. STEP-ONE- REQUEST FOR TECHNICAL PROPOSALS EVALUATION

The Government will evaluate each offeror's technical proposal based on how well the proposal addresses each of the evaluation factors listed below. Each of the evaluation factors will be evaluated by the Government and either an "Acceptable", "Unacceptable", or "Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made "Acceptable" rating will be determined by consensus of the Government evaluation board. There are no relative weights assigned to the factors. A Step One acceptable technical proposal must be rated "Acceptable" for all evaluation factors in order to receive an overall "Acceptable" technical proposal rating.

General Technical Proposal and Evaluation Information:

a. The evaluation will be conducted in accordance with FAR Subpart14.5, Two-Step Sealed Bidding. For this procurement, only one (1) technical proposal may be submitted by each offeror. The proposal shall be complete without the need of additional explanation or information. The Government may proceed with Step-Two without requesting further information from any offeror; however, the Government may request additional information from offerors of proposals that it considers reasonably susceptible of being made acceptable.

b. Technical Proposals will be rated at the factor level. If any factor is determined to be "Unacceptable", the entire proposal will be determined "Unacceptable". A technical proposal may be determined to be "Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made Acceptable", and therefore eligible for discussions. However, a proposal with a factor that is determined to be "Unacceptable" will be eliminated from further consideration.

c. Technical proposals which do not provide the specified information in the specified location in accordance with the submission instructions may be rated other than "Acceptable". The Government is under no obligation to search for information that is not in the specified locations. If an offeror submits alternates that are not requested, the information will not be evaluated.

d. In general, example projects or experience that the Government does not consider relevant for the purposes of evaluating experience will not be considered as a part of the minimum project requirement.

e. The degree of acceptability to the Government inherent in the content of the offeror's technical proposal will be a consideration under every evaluation factor.

f. If discussions are held with offerors whose proposals are considered "Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made Acceptable" and a request for proposal revisions are requested, the revised proposal will be re-evaluated in accordance with the criteria in the solicitation. After completion of discussions and evaluation of any revised proposals, the proposal will be determined as "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable". If determined "Unacceptable", a notice of unacceptability will be forwarded to the offeror upon completion of the proposal's evaluation.

g. Any proposal which modifies or fails to conform to the essential requirements or specifications of the request for technical proposals will be considered nonresponsive and categorized as "Unacceptable"

h. The offeror's conformance with the specified format and submission requirements will be considered during the technical evaluation. Failure to comply with the formatting and/or submission requirements may be seen as indicative of the type of problems that could be expected during contract performance. Lack of conformance and material omission(s) may cause the technical proposal to be rejected as "Unacceptable".

i. The proposal submission instructions are written to give prospective offerors, where feasible, an indication of the level of detail desired by the Government. The offeror's failure to include information that the Government has indicated must be included will result in the proposal being found other than "Acceptable" if inadequate detail is provided.

j. Do not include exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation in the technical proposal The inclusion of any terms and conditions in the proposals that conflict with the terms and conditions of submissions.

the solicitation may result in a determination that the proposal/bid is "Unacceptable" and thus ineligible to bid in Step- Two. Resolve questions about the terms and conditions or technical requirements of the solicitation prior to submission of the proposal/bid; see "Proposal Inquiries and Questions", located above in Section 00 21 00.

k. Each factor will begiven one of the ratings identified and Factor and Overall Technical Proposal Ratings.

defined as follows:

FACTOR 1 RATING

(Construction Approach)

DEFINITION

Acceptable The proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements.

Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made Acceptable

(Note: This rating is not used for the overall technical proposal rating)

The proposal, as proposed, cannot be rated as acceptable because offeror(s), omissions

(s) or deficiency(ies) which are capable of being corrected without a major rewrite or revision of the proposal.

Unacceptable The proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

FACTOR 2

RATING (Past Performance)

Submission Requirements and Evaluation Criteria for the Technical Proposal

The information provided in this section will be used in evaluating the offeror's proposed construction approach and past performance, specific to this solicitation.

Factor 1 - Construction Approach

Submission Requirements:

The proposing firm must clearly communicate its proposed construction approach for the solicited project which meets the attached 95% technical specifications and construction drawings. Limit the submission for this Factor to a maximum of 45 pages. Additional pages above the limit may not be evaluated. The proposal must include, as a minimum, the following elements:

:1. Construction approach to include but not limited to

a. Approach to hauling/placing material from various borrow sources (equipment, haul routes, etc.).

b. Approach to testing/surveying of levee components for payment and as-built purposes.

c. Describe your QC system.

d. Approach to coordinate between subcontractors.

2. Conceptual Schedule Management:

a. Sequencing and managing important construction activities and milestones that demonstrates a firm understanding of how to schedule and manage the project's construction, earthwork, dewatering, and data management.

b. The schedule must include durations in calendar days that meets the contract requirements, required production to meet durations (per day/per week), required equipment and operations to meet production, and incorporation of non-work periods (Note: this is a concept schedule used to assure the contractor understands the scope and sequencing of the project and is not considered a post award construction submittal).

c. Coordination between features of construction/sequencing work/staging.

3. Staffing and Management Plan:

a. Include a key staff and management organization chart of proposing firm (prime contractor) and key subcontractors.

b. Shall include the work assignments of specialized skills and trades.

4. Survey Coordination Plan:

a. Submit a plan for when surveys will be required for the purposes of payment, quality control, and as built preparation.

b. The plan should state how the contractor will keep these different surveys organized, naming conventions, and how they will be submitted to the government in an organized fashion.

Evaluation Criteria:

The Government will evaluate the construction approach in its entirety and categorize the proposal with one (1) combined technical evaluation for this factor.

The proposing firm's construction approach narrative must be in an organized manner that acceptably addresses the elements and sub-elements listed in the submission requirements. The proposed construction approach must meet all of the attached draft plans, specifications, and contract requirements, and be commensurate with this project's size, scope, and complexity.

Minimum Acceptability Criteria:

1. The proposing firm's Construction Approach must, at a minimum, include and address all the elements and sub-elements listed in the submission requirements.

2. A proposing firm demonstrates an acceptable construction approach by meeting the minimum submission requirements for this factor and providing the Government with a construction approach that meets all of the attached plans, specifications, and contract requirements, commensurate with this project's size, scope, and complexity.

Factor 2 - Past Performance

Submission Requirements:

Submit past performance information for a example projects and a (5) example minimum of three (3) maximum of five projects the proposing firm's past performance on recent, relevant experience. If more than five projects are submitted, only the first five will be evaluated. Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOCs)or any other type of task-order contracts that provide for the issuance of task orders for the performance of tasks will not be considered projects for the purposes of this evaluation. Only individual task orders issued under such contracts will be evaluated as projects.

However, a phased project using phased task orders for a single customer with multiple inter-dependent facilities on a single site may be considered a project for the purposes of this evaluation.

The is provided for the offering firms to submit to the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attachment 0003) client of each project the offering firm includes in its submission requirements. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client's point of contact. The completed PPQs should be submitted with the Step-One technical proposals. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact, karen.L.caskey@usace.army.mil via email prior to the Step-One technical proposal closing date and time.

Note: If any of the projects are Government contracts with a completed CPARS or equivalent performance rating, please only complete blocks 1 through 5 of the PPQ form (Attachment 0003) and attach it to the front of the CPARS rating. Be sure to include the POC's information of the client and the contract number of the project.

Evaluation Criteria:

The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the offeror's probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the offeror's record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements. The Government will at a minimum, evaluate the successful performance of all project examples submitted and categorize the proposal with one

(1) combined evaluation for this factor.

The burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the proposing firm. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, the Government will only evaluate past performance of the division or unit submitting the offer or of the team member. The prime contractor will be rated on its own performance. A prime contractor may not establish past performance based on the past performance of its proposed key personnel, apart from that of the entity.

In accordance with FAR 15.305 and DFARS 215.305, the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor's performance will be considered. However, the comparative assessment in FAR 15.305(a)(2)(i) does not apply. Therefore, past performance will be rated on an "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" basis only.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror will be determined to have "Unknown" (or "Neutral") past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating will be considered "Acceptable."

The Government may also review past performance information from any sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Contractor Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or other databases using all CAGE/UEI numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate)identified in the Offeror's proposal; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency. The Government reserves the right to check any or all cited references to verify supplied information and to assess owner satisfaction. The evaluation may take into account the number and severity of problems, the demonstrated effectiveness of corrective actions taken, and the overall work record.

Minimum Acceptability Criteria:

Past performance information must be submitted for a example projects and a minimum of three (3) maximum of five (5) example projects completed within the last 6 years from the date of the Step-One solicitation issuance date demonstrating the proposing firm's past performance on recent, relevant projects.

A recent project is a project that is complete, or substantially complete, within 6 years of this request for technical proposal issue date. If a proposing firm submits a project as substantially complete within the 6-year period, the proposal must include and explanation why that project should be considered substantially complete.

The of submitted projects must be substantiated by the proposing firm's role, work, size, scope, and relevancy complexity similar to the requirements in this project. In making this determination, the Government will use the following criteria to establish the acceptable relevancy of a submitted project:

a. Contract value of at least $10M.

Demonstrate similar scope of R562b. in construction of embankments with defined tolerances for materials and placement of riprap compliant with design specifications.

A proposing firm demonstrates acceptable past performance by meeting the minimum submission and past performance solicitation requirements and based on the offeror's satisfactory or higher performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required efforts in the requirements. The Government will have confidence in the firm's probability to successfully supply products and services that meet all the contract's plans, specifications requirements.

7. STEP-TWO - INVITATION FOR BID, EVALUATION, AND AWARD
