Requests for Information (RFI) Procedure

The Government requests that all bidders follow the instructions below when submitting Requests for Information (RFI’s).

Requests for information will be answered by an Amendment so all bidders are given the same information. Individual replies will not be issued.

RFI responses that affect the specifications will be issued as an Amendment to the specifications. If an RFI response conflicts with the Contract plans or specs, the Contract plans and/or specs will govern.

RFI responses may indicate that a resolution to an issue may be found in a Specific Amendment; however bidders should always check all amendments to the plans and specs and prepare their bid/offer accordingly. RFI responses that become invalid or inaccurate as the result of changes to the plans or specs issued by subsequent Amendments will not be revised.

Please do not submit an RFI more than once. Do not add subsequent questions to the list and resubmit your entire set of questions.

The following is the preferred format for submitting RFI’s. Questions submitted in this standard format will enable the Government to generate responses in a timelier manner.

Requests for information shall be submitted using a spreadsheet style method as shown below. A file with this format may also be downloaded from www.fbo.gov along with the plans and specs files for this project. Please attach the spreadsheet file as an attachment to an email message to michelle.l.johnson@usace.army.mil. Please include the Solicitation Number (W912BU-12-R-0037) in the subject line.

The spreadsheet shall contain the following columns: 1) RFI Number, 2) Reference to applicable Spec Section or Drawing Sheet Number, 3) applicable discipline involved (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, etc…), and 4) a Clear and concise statement of the problem or clarification requested.

Example:

RFI# Discipline

52.215-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMPETITIVE ACQUISITION (JAN 2004)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision--

“Discussions” are negotiations that occur after establishment of the competitive range that may, at the Contracting Officer's discretion, result in the offeror being allowed to revise its proposal.

“In writing or written” means any worded or numbered expression which can be read, reproduced, and later communicated, and includes electronically transmitted and stored information.

“Proposal modification” is a change made to a proposal before the solicitation's closing date and time, or made in response to an amendment, or made to correct a mistake at any time before award.

“Proposal revision” is a change to a proposal made after the solicitation closing date, at the request of or as allowed by a Contracting Officer as the result of negotiations.

“Time”, if stated as a number of days, is calculated using calendar days, unless otherwise specified, and will include Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. However, if the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the period shall include the next working day.

(b) Amendments to solicitations. If this solicitation is amended, all terms and conditions that are not amended remain unchanged. Offerors shall acknowledge receipt of any amendment to this solicitation by the date and time specified in the amendment(s).

(c) Submission, modification, revision, and withdrawal of proposals. (1) Unless other methods (e.g., electronic commerce or facsimile) are permitted in the solicitation, proposals and modifications to proposals shall be submitted in paper media in sealed envelopes or packages (i) addressed to the office specified in the solicitation, and (ii) showing the time and date specified for receipt, the solicitation number, and the name and address of the offeror.

W912BU-12-R-0037 00100-3

Offerors using commercial carriers should ensure that the proposal is marked on the outermost wrapper with the information in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) and (c)(1)(ii) of this provision.

(2) The first page of the proposal must show--

(i) The solicitation number;

(ii) The name, address, and telephone and facsimile numbers of the offeror (and electronic address if available);

(iii) A statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation and agreement to furnish any or all items upon which prices are offered at the price set opposite each item;

(iv) Names, titles, and telephone and facsimile numbers (and electronic addresses if available) of persons authorized to negotiate on the offeror's behalf with the Government in connection with this solicitation; and

(v) Name, title, and signature of person authorized to sign the proposal. Proposals signed by an agent shall be accompanied by evidence of that agent's authority, unless that evidence has been previously furnished to the issuing office.

(3) Submission, modification, or revision, of proposals.

(i) Offerors are responsible for submitting proposals, and any modifications, or revisions, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that proposal or revision is due.

(ii)(A) Any proposal, modification, or revision received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(1) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of proposals; or

(2) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(3) It is the only proposal received.

(B) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful proposal that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(iii) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the proposal wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(iv) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that proposals cannot be received at the office designated for receipt of proposals by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation, the time specified for receipt of proposals 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.

(v) Proposals may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before award. Oral proposals in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile proposals, proposals may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before award, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at

W912BU-12-R-0037 00100-4

52.215-5, Facsimile Proposals. Proposals may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or an authorized representative, if the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the proposal before award.

(4) Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation, the offeror may propose to provide any item or combination of items.

(5) Offerors shall submit proposals in response to this solicitation in English, unless otherwise permitted by the solicitation, and in U.S. dollars, unless the provision at FAR 52.225-17, Evaluation of Foreign Currency Offers, is included in the solicitation.

(6) Offerors may submit modifications to their proposals at any time before the solicitation closing date and time, and may submit modifications in response to an amendment, or to correct a mistake at any time before award.

(7) Offerors may submit revised proposals only if requested or allowed by the Contracting Officer.

(8) Proposals may be withdrawn at any time before award. Withdrawals are effective upon receipt of notice by the Contracting Officer.

(d) Offer expiration date. Proposals in response to this solicitation will be valid for the number of days specified on the solicitation cover sheet (unless a different period is proposed by the offeror).

(e) Restriction on disclosure and use of data. Offerors that include in their proposals data that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, shall--

(1) Mark the title page with the following legend: This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed--in whole or in part--for any purpose other than to evaluate this proposal. If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of--or in connection with-- the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The data subject to this restriction are contained in sheets [insert numbers or other identification of sheets]; and

(2) Mark each sheet of data it wishes to restrict with the following legend: Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal.

(f) Contract award. (1) The Government intends to award a contract or contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal(s) represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors and subfactors in the solicitation.

(2) The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government's interest.

(3) The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals received.

(4) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

(5) The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit cost or prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the proposal.

W912BU-12-R-0037 00100-5

(6) The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards if, after considering the additional administrative costs, it is in the Government's best interest to do so.

(7) Exchanges with offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counteroffer by the Government.

(8) The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

(9) If a cost realism analysis is performed, cost realism may be considered by the source selection authority in evaluating performance or schedule risk.

(10) A written award or acceptance of proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified in the proposal shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

(11) If a post-award debriefing is given to requesting offerors, the Government shall disclose the following information, if applicable:

(i) The agency's evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed offeror's offer.

(ii) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful and the debriefed offeror and past performance information on the debriefed offeror.

(iii) The overall ranking of all offerors, when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

(iv) A summary of the rationale for award.

(v) For acquisitions of commercial items, the make and model of the item to be delivered by the successful offeror.

(vi) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed offeror as to whether source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed by the agency.

52.216-1 TYPE OF CONTRACT (APR 1984)

The Government contemplates award of a firm, fixed-price contract resulting from this solicitation.

52.222-5 DAVIS-BACON ACT--SECONDARY SITE OF THE WORK (JUL 2005)

(a)(1) The offeror shall notify the Government if the offeror intends to perform work at any secondary site of the work, as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of the FAR clause at 52.222-6, Davis-Bacon Act, of this solicitation.

(2) If the offeror is unsure if a planned work site satisfies the criteria for a secondary site of the work, the offeror shall request a determination from the Contracting Officer.

W912BU-12-R-0037 00100-6

(2) The due date for receipt of offers will not be extended as a result of an offeror's request for a wage determination for a secondary site of the work.

52.222-23 NOTICE OF REQUIREMENT FOR AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TO ENSURE EQUAL

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR CONSTRUCTION (FEB 1999)

(a) The offeror's attention is called to the Equal Opportunity clause and the Affirmative Action Compliance Requirements for Construction clause of this solicitation.

(b) The goals for minority and female participation, expressed in percentage terms for the Contractor's aggregate workforce in each trade on all construction work in the covered area, are as follows:

Goals for minority participation for each trade

Goals for female participation for each trade

12.3% 6.9%

These goals are applicable to all the Contractor's construction work performed in the covered area.

(c) The Contractor's compliance with Executive Order 11246, as amended, and the regulations in 41 CFR 60-4 shall be based on (1) its implementation of the Equal Opportunity clause, (2) specific affirmative action obligations required by the clause entitled "Affirmative Action Compliance Requirements for Construction,'' and (3) its efforts to meet the goals. The hours of minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade. The Contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor, or from project to project, for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor's goals shall be a violation of the contract, Executive Order 11246, as amended, and the regulations in 41 CFR 60-4. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.

(d) The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Federal Contract Compliance, U.S. Department of Labor, within 10 working days following award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the contract resulting from this solicitation.

4.1 FACTOR 1 – EXPERIENCE AND INITIAL/PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE:

Section 00120 Page 2

4.1.1 EXPERIENCE: The Government will review the experience of the Offeror. Offerors must meet all of the following standards to receive an “acceptable” rating for this evaluation factor.

An Offeror shall convincingly demonstrate having performed structural demolition of buildings in excess of 7 stories in height, using conventional methods without explosives, and hazardous material removal, transportation, and disposal, during the preceding three calendar years that annually total at least $5,000,000.00 for each of those years. Offerors shall provide invoicing figures for work performed within US for each of the preceding three years. For joint venture Offerors, this experience may be satisfied by submitting conforming experience from any or all of the joint venture partners. Offerors shall also provide experience information in the same manner as required for the prime contractor Offeror for each subcontractor proposed to perform more than 20 percent of the project on-site construction work.

An Offeror shall convincingly demonstrate experience by providing evidence that 70% of the company’s annual gross income is earned in the performance of structural demolition contracts, at least two demolition projects performed within the U.S. of at least the scope, dollar value, and complexity described below, and substantially (i.e. at least 75%) completed within the last five years as of the date of proposal submission. For this acquisition, a project of similar scope, dollar value, and complexity, is defined as project with contract value in excess of $5,000,000.00 and which included building demolition of buildings in excess of 7 stories, using conventional methods without explosives, hazardous material removal and disposal, site work and regrading. For joint venture Offerors, this experience may be satisfied by submitting conforming experience from any or all of the joint venture partners. Offerors shall also provide experience information in the same manner as required for the prime contractor for each subcontractor proposed to perform on-site demolition, hauling, and disposal.

Each project submitted for evaluation must include the following descriptive information:

(i) project title,

(ii) geographic location,

(iii) date that the project was substantially completed,

(iv) final project U.S. dollar value,

(v) detailed description of the project, and

(vi) a description of the actual involvement in the performance of the presented project. Offerors are required to provide information that convincingly demonstrates that the experience presented meets the requirements of qualifying construction experience (see requirements above).

If an Offeror is a joint venture composed of two or more partners or proposes subcontractor(s) to perform more than 20 percent of the project on-site construction work, the Offeror shall describe the project work that each member of the joint venture or the subcontractors would perform. The Government will assess the experience information provided in relation to the work that each of the joint venture partners or subcontractors would be performing.

4.3 FACTOR 3 - PAST PERFORMANCE: Past performance pertains to how well an Offeror has performed relevant past work that is an indicator of future performance. Past performance information is not the same as experience information. Experience information pertains to what types of work an Offeror has performed. Past performance pertains to how well an Offeror performs project work. For the purpose of this evaluation, past performance means an Offeror’s reputation for satisfying its customers by delivering:

(i) quality work

(ii) in a timely manner

(iii) at a reasonable cost

(iv) in a safe working environment as well as its reputation for

(v) reasonable and cooperative conduct

(vi) overall commitment to customer satisfaction

Offerors are reminded that while the Government may elect to consider past performance information obtained from other sources, the primary responsibility for providing past performance information rests

Section 00120 Page 4 with the Offeror. In the case of an Offeror that does not have a record of relevant past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably as concerns its past performance. In situations of this kind, the adjective rating of neutral will be applied to the evaluation factor of Past Performance, to include the evaluation of Prime Contractor Past Performance and Subcontractor Past Performance. There are two categories of Past Performance with this evaluation factor.

a. Prime Contractor Past Performance:

(1) The Government will evaluate an Offeror’s reputation for performing work in a manner commensurate with the six areas of interest listed above.

(2) An Offeror should provide written evidence of the above described six past performance qualities (see items (i) through (vi)) in the form of, but not limited to:

1. letters and certificates of commendation

2. performance awards

3. performance evaluations

4. evidence of repeat work with the same clients or owners (particularly when noncompetitively obtained), etc.

(3) Offerors are encouraged to solicit and obtain letters of recommendation from past owners, customers and clients from which written documentation contemporaneous with project performance may not be available. These past performance documents should not reference work completed more than six years prior to the date of proposal submission for this solicitation. Past performance documents older than six years will not be considered in the evaluation and selection processes.

(4) If an Offeror is a joint venture or partnership, information pertaining to the areas identified as

(i) through (vi), above should be presented for each member of the joint venture or partnership (unless the information being presented is in regard to the joint venture or partnership as constituted in response to this solicitation). Although the Government prefers all members of a joint venture or partnership to have satisfied all the above indicated six performance areas, the Government will consider the complementary aspects of the separate participants in a joint venture or partnership, by evaluating the joint venture or partnership as a whole.

(5) Past performance information provided for a member of a joint venture or partnership having no involvement in the project will not be considered in the Government’s Past Performance factor evaluation.
