PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

SECTION 00 22 11

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS, EVALUATION CRITERIA

1. 0 OVERVIEW

This is a competitive best-value solicitation for a construction contract for the AFR 513th Air Squadron Operations Facility located at Tinker Air Force Base, OK. The Government will evaluate proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein and award a firm fixed-price contract to the responsible firm whose proposal conforms to all the terms and conditions of the solicitation and whose proposal is determined to represent the overall best value to the Government.

If awarded the contract, the Offeror shall construct the project in accordance with the plans and specifications.

1.1 WHO CAN SUBMIT

1.1.1 Firms formally organized as construction contractors that have associated specifically for this project, consortia of firms or any other interested parties may submit proposals. Associations may be as joint ventures or as key team subcontractors.

1.1.2 Organization Conflicts of Interest (OCI) Disclosure: The Offeror shall provide a disclosure statement with its proposal which concisely describes all the relevant facts concerning the past or present organizational conflicts of interest relating to work on this project. In the same statement, and if applicable, the Offeror shall provide information to assure the Government that the conflicts of interest have been mitigated and/or neutralized to the maximum extent possible. If a conflict of interest is discovered after award of this contract, the Contracting Office will make a decision whether to terminate the contract.

1.2 PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS AND THE TRADE-OFF PROCESS

The trade-off process permits trade-offs among cost or price and non-cost factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal. Offerors submit their performance and capability information for review and consideration by the Government. Relative weights among technical factors are provided in the paragraph entitled “Proposal Contents And Related Evaluation Factors”. The Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) reviews, evaluates, and rates the proposals against the source selection criteria in the RFP. A competitive range consisting of the most highly qualified technical Offerors will be established prior to discussions (if held).

The SSEB will review, evaluate and rate the project technical proposals against the source selection criteria in the RFP. Concurrently, the Government analyzes price proposals utilizing the techniques listed in FAR Part 15 and the government’s project cost estimate. Price will not be rated, but will be considered in making trade-offs to reach the final best value determination for award. The Source Selection Authority (SSA) compares proposals to one another and determines the best value for the government. The perceived benefits of the higher priced proposal must merit the additional cost, and the rationale for tradeoffs must be documented.

2.0 BASIS OF AWARD

Proposals must meet the criteria stated in the RFP to be eligible for award, to include responsiveness, technical acceptability and responsibility.

2.1 To determine which proposal represents the best overall value, the Government may compare proposals to one another. The Government intends to award a contract to the responsible Offeror whose proposal conforms

00 22 11 - 9 to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government, considering the non-price factors described herein, and price. All evaluation factors, other than price, when combined, are considered slightly more important than price. Best value will be determined by a comparative assessment of proposals against all source selection criteria in this RFP and the prices offered. The intent of this solicitation is to obtain the best proposal within the funds available. The Government will not award a contract to an Offeror whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001.

2.2 Award will be made to the Offeror whose proposal is determined to represent the best overall value to the Government based on the evaluated ratings. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offers. If other than the lowest priced offer, the offer must be sufficiently more advantageous than the lowest priced offer to justify the payment of additional amounts.

2.3 The Government intends to award a contract without discussions based on initial proposals received;

therefore, proposals shall contain the Offeror’s best terms from a cost and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions in accordance with FAR 52.215-1. If discussions are necessary, the Government will establish a competitive range of the most highly rated offerors. The Government reserves the right to address any pertinent issues in the proposals.

3.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Requirement for Separate Price and Technical Proposals

3.1.1 Each Offeror must submit both a Price Proposal and a Technical Proposal. The Price Proposal and the Technical Proposal must be submitted as separate volumes. Ensure the file containing each separate volume is clearly marked to indicate its contents; and the identity of the offeror.

3.1.5 Do not include exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the technical or price proposal. Should the offer include any standard company terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, the proposal may be determined "unacceptable" and thus ineligible for award. Any questions related to specific terms and conditions should be resolved prior to submission of the offer.

3.2 Where to Submit. Offerors shall submit their proposal to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer in accordance with Section 00 21 00 INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS.

Offerors should provide sufficient detail and clearly define all items required in this section.

00 22 11 - 10

6.2 Evaluation Criteria

00 22 11 - 14

The list of assumptions will not be rated separately but will be used to determine if the Offeror understands the Statement of Work and the intent and may affect the rating of the other factors. It will also be used to compare the impact on the performance of the project.

7.0 VOLUME 1 - FACTOR 1 – PERFORMANCE CAPABILITY

7.1 Volume 1 – Tab B – Subfactor 1, Specialized Experience

7.1.1 Submission Requirements

Demonstrate the specialized experience of the Offeror and/or proposed team, including sub-contractors, on projects same/similar in size and complexity to that described in the solicitation for same/similar construction services. Emphasis shall be placed on construction projects of similar scope, complexity and functionality. Building is for an approximately 32,000 sf, two-story Air Control Group Squadron Operations facility. Building design includes an Operations Desk, ORC Ops Office, OSF Aviation Manager Office, Storage, Large 250 person Briefing Room (Auditorium), Building Manager’s Office, Mobility Storage, Mobility Office, Medical Office, Flight Medical Exam Room, 970th AACS Command Suite, Conference Rooms, Special Projects Office; Heritage Room, Mission Planning Flight Deck Room, Pilot’s/Navigator’s Workroom, Flight Engineer Workroom, Physical Training Room, 513th ACG Command Suite, 513th OSF Command Suite, CVZ Room, Public Affair’s Office, Career Adviser’s office, Male and Female Latrine/Shower/Locker Rooms, Laundry Room and Janitor’s Closet, Standards Evaluation Testing, Air Battle Management Work Room and required building support spaces. A secure area will be provided for the 970th Tactics Classified Work Area, 513th OSF/970th Classified Mission Planning & Battle Staff Work Area, 513th Classified Work Area, 970th Tactics Unclassified Work Area, 513th OSF Intel Unclassified Work Area and an Unclassified Storage Room. The classified spaces will be classified as “open storage.” Other sensitive work areas are also included. If using subcontractors as part of the proposed team to demonstrate experience, describe the role they will play in this project and the percentage of work they will perform. Demonstrate successful management of multiple subcontractors and multiple project phases within an occupied and operational facility for all projects submitted.

The Contractor shall complete a minimum of three (3), but no more than five (5), “Experience Information” forms, attached at the end of this section (Attachment 1), in response to this factor. All blocks must be filled in and all data should be accurate, current, and complete. All projects submitted must be at least 50% complete and completed within the last 5 years. At least two (2) of the projects provided must be valued at over $10,000,000.

7.1.2 Evaluation Criteria

7.1.2.1 The Government will evaluate the extent of recent, related experience of the Offeror in regard to their role on this project. The Government may place greater importance on projects performed as a prime contractor than as a subcontractor, depending upon overall role and relevancy considerations. Federal Government project experience on military installations for similar construction will be given more consideration than non-Federal Government project experience. Offerors demonstrating experience with projects of similar size and complexity will be viewed more favorably by the Government. All projects must demonstrate successful management of multiple subcontractors and multiple project phases.

a. The Offeror must submit the requested information to demonstrate a record of recent, related experience in construction, for the project (which may include similar state or local government or private counterparts) included in this solicitation. Recent experience includes projects well underway (see above criteria) or those completed and turned over within 5 years of the proposal issue date for this RFP for construction experience. Joint Venture partners should each demonstrate experience commensurate with their role on this project or how their experience qualifies them for their role on this project. If any of the information required is not included in the form (Attachment 1), then the Contractor will be considered non-responsive and evaluated as unacceptable.

00 22 11 - 15

b. The Government reserves the right to verify the experience record of cited projects or other recent projects by reviewing the Corps of Engineers Construction Contractor (or Architect-Engineer) Appraisal Support System (CCASS/ACASS), other DOD or Government appraisal systems or to interview owners or references. The Government may check any or all cited references to verify supplied information.

c. To receive credit for extent (amount) of experience, the Offeror shall demonstrate a history of recent, relevant experience. A firm will not receive credit under this factor for the relevant experience of key personnel proposed for this project.

d. The Government will consider extent of recent experience, degree of relationship of such experience to this project, demonstrated familiarity with applicable codes and local conditions. Some examples of relevancy to this project may include, but not be limited to:

1) Number, size, type work, complexity, location

2) Dates (well under way or completed no more than 5 years preceding date of Solicitation)

3) Firm's role and extent of work self-performed (brokering out all work and simply “placing the sidewalks” or similar minor work on a cited project are examples of less relevant experience).

7.2 Volume 1 - Tab C – Subfactor 2 – Key Subcontractors

7.2.1 Submission Requirements

Identify the potential Key Subcontractors chosen for mechanical, electrical and process controls installation, describing the extent of their involvement in the project.

7.2.2 Evaluation Criteria

This subfactor is composed of two equal elements: Specialized Experience and Past Performance. The Government will evaluate the specialized experience and past performance of the Key Subcontractors for mechanical, electrical, and process controls installation using the same criteria as in the Specialized Experience evaluation for the prime contractor under Factor 1, Subfactor 1, above, in this RFP. After award, the Section 00 73 00 SCR entitled “Key Personnel, Subcontractors and Outside Consultants” will apply to the selection, which establishes the minimum quality standard. No substitution will be allowed without adequate reason and possible consideration to the Government.

7.3 Volume 1 - Tab D – Subfactor 3 - Key Personnel

7.3.1 Submission Requirements

The Offeror shall provide resume data for the following key personnel: Construction Project Manager, Quality Control Manager (CQC System Manager), Project Scheduler, Site Superintendent, and Site Safety and Health Oficer (SSHO) as applicable to this requirement.
