Volume II – Factor 2:

Past Performance:

Regarding the past performance evaluation, can a Master BPA agreement be considered as a project?

A Master BPA is not a project and will not be used. A purchase order under a BPA may be used toward past performance.

Volume II – Factor 2:

Past Performance:

We understand the contractor shall demonstrate that they have completed a project with a minimum contract value of $3M USD as their experience part. What about the JV partners, can they collectively fulfil this requirement of $3M USD to be rated acceptable? If so, is there any specific ratio for each partner of the JV?

If a JV offeror does not have its own record of experience or past performance, the Government will evaluate the relevant experience or past performance history of each individual JV member. Projects that meet the $3M requirement will be considered acceptable.

27 CLIN 0004

Will the genenrators under CLIN 0004 be GFE or CFE

The generators listed in CLIN 0004 will become property of the Government upon installation and commissioning.

CLIN 0005

CLIN 0005

Should CLIN 0005 be priced or is it just a header for SLINs 0005AA and 0005AB?

Which class should we price?

SLIN 0007AB has been added to the bid schedule on page 4.

Amendment 0002 has been posted to clarify this item.

PWS Sample TO1 and T02

"Fuel Farm shall consist of above ground fuel storage tanks with secondary containment" Is it the intent of the government to require secondary containment even if the proposed tanks are double-wall tanks?

Per RFP paragraph 10.3.5 Oil Storage Including Fuel Tanks, secondary containment is required. If there is a specific style of containment required it will be specified at the task order level.

PWS Sample TO #2

Understanding that the Background and PWS for Task Order #2 is similar to that of Task Order #1 with the exception that TO # 2 is a single phase operation consisting of Plan and Construct an 8MW CFE Plant with a 5KM Distribution.

Should the Bid Schedule for Task Order #2(page 67) include a construction CLIN for both the 8MW plant and 5KM Distribution similar to Task Order #1?

There is no need for a power plant construction CLIN needed for Sample TO #2 because this is a Contractor-Owned plant.

All power plant phase in costs shall be captured in CLIN 0001.

CLIN 0007 has been added to the Bid Schedule for Sample Task #2 to capture distribution construction costs. Amendment 0002 has been posted to clarify this item.

PWS Sample TO #2

"The power plant shall be capable of providing 8MW's of power and the 5 km distribution system shall be operational no later than 120 calendar days after issuance of the initial Notice to Proceed (NTP)."

APPENDIX D

PAST PERFORMANCE QUESTIONNAIRE

ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT YOUR

EVALUATION OF THE CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating.

Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory Performance meets minimum contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract.

There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

(U) Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable No information or did not apply to your contract Rating will be neither positive nor negative.
