7.0 BASIS FOR - QUALIFICATION

In Stage 1, the principal objective is to qualify the five most highly qualified offerors to submit offers for Stage

2. However, if the Government determines that fewer or more than five offerors should be qualified based upon the evaluation criteria, the Government has the discretion to adjust that number. All proposals received in response to this solicitation will be evaluated per the Stage 1 Technical Factors. The determination of the most highly qualified offerors in Stage 1 will be based on the evaluation of three Technical Factors. Corporate Specialized Experience, Past Performance, and Management Plan/Key Personnel. Factor 1 - Corporate Specialized Experience and Factor 2 - Past Performance are of equal importance, and Factors 1 and 2 are each significantly more important than Factor 3 - Management Plan/Key Personnel. Price will not be considered during Stage 1.

Only those offerors determined to be the most highly qualified in Stage 1 will be invited to submit a proposal for Stage 2, and they will be the only offerors eligible to compete in Stage 2. Unsuccessful Stage 1 offerors will be notified at that time per FAR 15.503(a)(1). Offerors excluded from the competitive range or otherwise excluded from the competition before award may request a debriefing at that time.

In Stage 2, the Government intends to select for award the single responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation and offers the best value to the Government. Offerors receiving an Unacceptable rating will not be considered for award. Offerors must receive an Acceptable rating to be considered for award.

The Government reserves the right to enter into discussions. In the event that discussions are not necessary then we intend to award without discussions, to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation and offers the best value to the Government.

8.0 SOURCE SELECTION PROCESS

The principal objective of Stage 1 is to qualify the five most highly qualified offerors to submit offers for Stage

2. The Government reserves the right to consider and evaluate information regarding past performance from sources outside the proposal. The process is designed to ensure the impartial, equitable, and comprehensive evaluation of all responsible proposals received in response to Stage 1 of this particular solicitation

Source Selection Team (If Applicable) The Source Selection Team (SST) is established as a separate organization and management chain of command whose only purpose is to accomplish the objective above. The organization consists of a Source Selection Authority (SSA), and a Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB). The SSEB is comprised of separate Technical Evaluation and Price Evaluation teams. The organization is designed to ensure active ongoing involvement of appropriate contracting, technical, logistics, legal, price analysis, small business, and other functional staff management expertise.

Source Selection Procedure

The source selection procedures will begin with an initial review of proposals and continue with a technical evaluation conducted by the SSEB. The SSEB shall evaluate the proposals based solely on the evaluation criteria identified. The results of the SSEB evaluations will be presented to the SSA who will review the evaluations conducted by the SSEB. The Contracting Ofiicer/SSA will determine the five most highly qualified offerors.

The CO/SSA will determine whether it is appropriate to engage in clarifications or communications.

The proposals received in response to this Stage 1 of this solicitation will be evaluated individually to determine the five most highly qualified offerors. To be considered a most highly qualified offeror, each offeror shall specifically address each of the evaluation factors. Sufficient detail shall be provided, citing specific data as may be required, such that the proposal may be adequately evaluated. The proposal must show clearly that the offeror has an understanding of the work tasks required and has the capability and responsibility to accomplish the work.

The Government is not responsible for information overlooked during the evaluation which is not located in the appropriate proposal section. To ensure the evaluation credit is appropriately received for proposal material submitted, do not incorporate by reference documents not contained in the proposal. References to sections of the proposal shall be by specific paragraph number (and name, if applicable), page number, and section.

9.0 TECHNICAL RATING

The evaluation ratings for the Technical Factors 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 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 below:

Combined Technical/Risk Ratings

Outstanding: Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

Good: Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths that outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Acceptable: Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal: Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and does not demonstrate an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable: Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies.

Proposal is un-awardable.

Ratings will be assigned for each of the three Technical evaluation factors for each offeror. An offeror will not be considered a most highly qualified offeror, and therefore will not be qualified to submit an offer for Stage 2, if the offeror is assigned a rating of Marginal or Unacceptable for any individualevaluation factor.

12.0 TECHNICAL FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED IN STAGE 1

TECHNICAL FACTORS – Stage 1

VOLUME 1, TAB A – FACTOR 1 – Corporate Specialized Experience.

Submission Requirements

The offeror shall submit a project portfolio with a maximum of five projects.

Data presented shall include construction projects relevant to this requirement which your team has completed, or which are currently under construction and are substantially complete. If the offeror represents the combining of two or more companies, state if this project represents a joint venture of the listed parties. Relevant construction experience will be limited to performance of projects similar in size, scope, and complexity to that outlined in the RFP. A maximum of five projects will be evaluated. If more than five projects are submitted, only the first five projects will be evaluated. Use the following format to provide project information:

a) Project Title, Contract Number and Location.

b) Project Contract Type (for example, Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity; Design/Build, Firm Fixed Price, Cost Plus; Construction Manager at Risk, etc.)

c) Total Dollar Amount

d) Start and Completion Dates (Month/Year) or percentage until complete

e) Role of Firm, provide a detailed description (address type of work performed, to include design, and percentage of work, as applicable for each team member) (also include any proposed team members that were directly involved in this project, including work performed, roles and responsibilities)

f) Brief Description of Project (address how this relates to this solicitation)

g) Provide a list of the management team and their responsibility at a minimum include Project Manager, Quality Control Representative and Construction Superintendent.

h) Customer Primary Point of Contact and alternate POC (name, relationship to project, agency/firm affiliation, city, state, current phone number, and e-mail address)

i) Awards or recognition received, where applicable

Evaluation Criteria:

The Government will evaluate the extent of relevant experience of the prime contractor and its proposed team in the roles they will have in this project. The extent of relevant experience will be determined based on the similarity of the submitted projects to the size, scope, and complexity of the construction required by this RFP.

To determine strengths and weaknesses, the agency will give more consideration to the following:

a) A higher number of relevant projects, up to a maximum of five.

b) Projects constructed on Military installations.

c) Projects involving large scale pavement placements including apron, runways, taxiways, etc.

d) Projects incorporating site development grading and excavation.

e) Projects constructed in proximity to an active Military or Commercial Runway, taxiway, etc

f) Projects with a value of $25 million or greater.

g) Fully completed projects, rather than substantially complete projects.

h) Projects completed after 2010.

i) Projects involving construction in conditions dealing with concurrent work from adjacent contractors.

j) Projects that demonstrate experience managing multiple large activities simultaneously on a secure and confined site.

k) Projects that demonstrate experience of the team members commensurate with their proposed role on this project.

l) Projects that demonstrate experience with utility system placement.

VOLUME 1, TAB B – FACTOR 2 - Past Performance.

For each of the projects submitted under Factor 1, the offeror shall provide a Past Performance Questionnaire (see below) to a representative of the owner that can provide the owner’ s opinion of the offeror’ s past performance for the project. The Past Performance Questionnaire (Form PPQ-0) included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project the offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 1. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Offerors should organize all Past Performance Information based on the Factor 1 Projects, which normally have project titles and are numbered 1-5, so that reviewers can match the owner’ s opinion with the corresponding Factor 1 Project. There is no page limit for this factor.

Form PPQ-0 shall be utilized and offerors shall submit the PPQ with their proposal submission to the Contracting Office designated proposal submission location. The contract specialist or Contracting Officer will not require the PPQ to be sent directly from the client. The offeror may submit the completed PPQ-0.

Completed Past Performance Questionnaires 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 (see below), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’ s point of contact, Nathan Kloeckler via email Nathan.R.Kloeckler@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date.

If you have questions regarding the attached questionnaire, or require assistance, please contact the Contract Specialist at

(918) 669-7657.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the bu rden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the offeror.

The offeror is responsible for ensuring that the completed questionnaires are submitted by the closing date. The Government may contact and interview the owner’ s representative on the Past Performance questionnaires, and reserves the right to interview other individuals acting for the owner’ s representative, if the owner’ s representative is not available.

The Government will evaluate the responses from the customers from which Past Performance Questionnaires have been received. The Government may contact and interview points of contact on the Past Performance Questionnaires. The Government reserves the right to interview other individuals acting for the listed references, if the listed reference is not available. In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance.

Past performance information may be obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency.

For each of the projects submitted under Factor 1, to ensure the agency has all relevant past performance information, the offeror shall submit copies of Federal/DoD/Navy/Army performance reviews that are likely already in the agency’s databases or likely within the agency’s arm’s reach, i.e. Contractor’s copy of CCASS or CPARS evaluations.

To improve accuracy of database searches, the offeror will also provide the CAGE Codes for the prime contractor and all teaming partners, i.e. design firms, key subcontractors, Joint Venture Partners, whose experience is being relied on Factor 1.

The past performance evaluation will be based on the offeror’ s record of relevant and recent past performance information.

Relevance: The relevancy determination will be based on the Factor 1 Evaluation Criteria for Corporate Specialized Experience.

Offerors with no past performance information will not be rated favorably or unfavorably and will receive a neutral rating.

If discussions are held, Offerors may be afforded the opportunity to respond to adverse comments made by references in accordance with guidelines identified in FAR Part 15.3. In this case, comments will be extracted and provided to t e offeror. Copies of the questionnaires will not be furnished to the offeror and will remain confidential.

PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT

The past performance evaluation will result 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 construction 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.

In reviewing each past performance effort by the offeror, the SST will first evaluate how relevant the recent effort is to the work required by this solicitation. The relevancy determination will be based on the Factor 1 Evaluation Criteria above, i.e., the similarity of the submitted projects to the size, scope, and complexity of the construction required by this Request For Qualifications.

Each past performance effort will be assigned one of the levels of relevancy shown in Table 2:

Table 2. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating Definition Very Relevant Past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

For each past performance effort, the SST will then evaluate how well the contractor performed on the contracts.

The past performance evaluation will 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 will gather information from customers on how well the offeror performed those past contracts.

In conducting the performance confidence assessment, the offeror shall be assigned one of the ratings in Table 3.

Table 3. Performance Confidence Assessment

Rating Description 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.

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…
