5.0 VOLUME 1 – TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

5.1 VOLUME 1, TAB A: ASSUMPTIONS

Deviations and exceptions to the requirements contained in the RFP are not allowed. Any questions related to specific terms and conditions of the solicitation must be resolved prior to submission of the proposal. However, if assumptions are made, the Offeror shall list and describe in detail the assumption(s). If award is made without discussions, an exception or deviation to any portion of the RFP requirements may make the proposal ineligible for award. Should the offer include any standard company terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, the proposal may be deemed “unacceptable” and thus ineligible for award. See Section 00 22 11, paragraphs 7.3, “Definitions”.

5.1.1 Submission Requirements

The list of assumptions shall be located under Tab A of Volume 1 – Technical Proposal Information. All assumptions shall be fully supported with the Offeror’s rationale and shall fully explain the impact, if any, on the performance and specific requirement of the RFP. The Offeror shall clearly describe on the Proposal Cover Sheet submitted with the Price Proposal any assumptions made concerning contractual and/or technical terms and include the monetary impact on the solicitation with the price proposal.

5.1.2 Evaluation Criteria

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.

5.2 VOLUME 1 – FACTOR 1: PERFORMANCE CAPABILITY

5.2.1 Volume 1, Tab B: Subfactor 1 – Specialized Experience

5.2.1.1 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 large renovation projects involving fully operational processing facilities, to include tank lines and associated equipment for chemical cleaning and/or plating processes or fully operational heavy industrial facilities, to include fuel processing facilities, paint/paint stripping facilities, food processing facilities or other specialized industrial processing facilities, during construction. If using subcontractors as part of the proposed team to demonstrate experience, describe the role they will play in this project and the percentage

*AM1 00 22 11 - 7 *

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. Experience from a sub-contractor or team member with heavy industrial experience will be acceptable as long as the Prime has experience with large renovation projects.

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 7 years. At least two (2) of the projects provided must be valued at over $15,000,000.

5.2.1.2 Evaluation Criteria

a. 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 will not be rated inherently more important than non-Federal Government project experience.

Offerors demonstrating experience with projects of similar size and complexity and on processing facilities with tank lines and associated equipment for chemical cleaning and/or plating processes or fully operational heavy industrial facilities, to include fuel processing facilities, paint/paint stripping, food processing facilities or other specialized industrial processing facilities that remained fully operational during construction will be viewed more favorably by the Government. All projects must demonstrate successful management of multiple subcontractors and multiple project phases within an occupied and operational facility.

(1) 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 7 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.

(2) 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.

(3) 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.

(4) 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:

(a) Number, size, type work, complexity, location

(b) Dates (well under way or completed no more than 7 years preceding date of Solicitation)

(c) 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).

5.2.2 Volume 1 – Tab C: Subfactor 2 - Key Subcontractors

*AM1 00 22 11 - 8 *

5.2.2.1 Submission Requirements

Identify the potential Key Subcontractors chosen for mechanical, electrical and process controls installation, describing the extent of their involvement in the project. Submit at least three (3) but no more than five (5) Specialized Experience forms (Attachment 1) for each Key Subcontractor, using the same requirements as described in the Phase 1 Specialized Experience submission requirements. Subcontractors shall be selected from the list of potential subcontractors. Any substitutions shall be approved by the Contracting Officer. All subcontractor personnel working on this project must be U.S. citizens or documented U.S. workers and must be able to provide proof of U.S. citizenship or other authorized documentation (See Contract Clause 52.0000-4515 Security Contract Language for All Corps of Engineers’ Unclassified Contracts).

Provide letters of commitment for each of the Key Subcontractors (Attachment 4).

5.2.2.2 Evaluation Criteria

This Factor 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 Phase 1 evaluation. 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.

5.2.3 Volume 1 - Tab D: Subfactor 3 - Key Personnel

5.2.3.1 Submission Requirements

The Offeror shall provide resume data for the following key personnel: Construction Project Manager, Quality Control Manager (CQC System Manager), Site Superintendent, and Site Safety and Health Oficer (SSHO) as applicable to this requirement. Project Managers with professional certification to include Project Manager Professional (PMP) or equivalent are preferred. Résumé information to be provided shall be limited to no more than one (1) page per person (Attachment 2) and shall include the following information as a minimum:

a. Name and title

b. Project assignment

c. Name of firm with which associated

d. Years experience in the role identified.

e. Years experience with this firm and with other firms

f. Education degree(s), year, specialization, if applicable

5.2.3.2 Evaluation Criteria

*AM1 00 22 11 - 9 *

The Government will evaluate the required information to determine how well the Offeror identifies and demonstrates that its key personnel meet or exceed minimum qualifications necessary to perform construction.

Offerors providing resumes for key personnel for this project that have experience in similar key positions on the projects shown under Specialized Experience will be viewed more favorably by the Government. Performance of key personnel proposed for this project may be taken into account when it comes to the attention of the Government. If alternates are proposed for key positions, the evaluation rating will consider the lesser qualified or experienced person, if there is a difference.

5.3 VOLUME 1 – FACTOR 2: CONTRACT DURATION, SCHEDULE, ORGANIZATION & TECHNICAL APPROACH

5.3.1 Volume 1, Tab E: Subfactor 1 Proposed Contract Duration and Summary Schedule

5.3.1.1 Submission Requirements

a. Proposed Contract Duration. The Offeror shall propose the contract duration in the appropriate location in the CLIN Schedule, not to exceed the maximum contract duration specified in Section 00 73 10 SUPPLEMENTAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS, SCR entitled “Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work”.

b. Preliminary Schedule. Submit a preliminary summary level schedule for construction of the work required including any construction phasing. Schedules or diagrams may be provided separately in a size that is easily read, but shall be bound and clearly labeled as Tab D. The preliminary schedule will, after contract award, be replaced with a final schedule as required by Section 01 32 01.00 10 PROJECT SCHEDULE. The schedules shall be task oriented, indicating the number of calendar days, after notice to proceed, by which milestones are to be achieved. Offeror may use a critical path or other method of his choice; however, schedules shall be graphically represented. The proposed project schedule shall reflect the contract duration (additional consideration will be given for a schedule that is shorter than the contract duration period if it is shown to be achievable does not incur additional cost to the Government). Give attention to the following features:

(1) Provide narrative describing long lead item equipment that must be ordered and show the required ordering date in the schedule.

(2) Show construction phases, including contractor down time, commissioning by the Contractor, acceptance testing period by the Government, and the overall construction phase for the project.

(3) Show turnover of the project. Identify any proposed phased turnovers. The time to complete the project and turnover to the Government must consider the requirement for the Contractor’s CQC completion inspection and the subsequent joint Contractor-Government turnover inspection.

(4) Show as-built submissions (See Section 01 70 00.00 10 CONTRACT CLOSEOUT).

(5) Constraints: Offeror must demonstrate the capability and flexibility to plan and schedule the complete project to meet the proposed contract completion period. Clearly identify any constraints on the schedules presented (e.g., labor or material availability, permits, weather, etc.). Indicate the anticipated overall critical path on the schedule.

The intent is to provide enough detail to demonstrate the Offeror’s understands the project; however, it is not the intent for the Offeror to provide the amount of detail that will be required in the pre-work submittals contained in Division 01 of this RFP.

5.3.1.2 Evaluation Criteria

*AM1 00 22 11 - 10 *

a. Proposed Contract Duration: This duration will become the contractually binding completion period.

The Government will evaluate the contract duration, as proposed by the Offeror in the Contract Line Item Schedule, not to exceed the maximum allowed duration of days specified in Section 00 73 10 SUPPLEMENTAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS. The Government will rate a proposed contract duration matching the maximum allowed contract duration as “satisfactory”. A proposed contract duration shorter than the maximum allowed duration will receive additional rating consideration, provided it is realistic and deemed to be achievable. An unreasonably condensed contract duration, which places additional cost or schedule risk on the Government will be considered a weakness. Proposed contract duration that shortens the Government’s specified review times for shop drawings will not be considered. During the subsequent trade-off analysis, differences between proposed contract durations of at least three weeks (differences of 21 calendar days between proposals) will be considered an advantage to the government, with greater differences also considered, accordingly. No advantage will be considered between proposals for differences less than 21 calendar days. Offerors are warned that the Military Construction Codification Act prohibits the expenditure of appropriations to expedite the completion date of a military construction contract at additional costs to the Government. Offerors may not expedite the completion date of the construction contract through the use of overtime, double shifts, larger crews and similar efforts unless such measures are required for normal construction efficiencies.

b. Preliminary Schedule. The Government will evaluate the preliminary schedule for construction. The length of the schedule must match the contract duration. If it is shorter, it offers no advantage to the Government because it is non-binding, only representing a preliminary planned schedule. A schedule shorter than the required contract duration may indicate the Offeror is placing additional risk on the Government for any delays between the scheduled completion date and the required contract duration. Both parties shall assume field overhead costs are included in the contract price for the full contract duration. The Government will evaluate the schedule to assess the strength of understanding of the project scope, restrictions which must be considered in the schedule (e.g., permitting, long lead times, contractor down time between phases, etc.). The Government will evaluate the strength of understanding of events associated with coordinating reviews, the Offeror’s capability to schedule the complete project within the proposed contract duration and the realism of the schedule.

5.3.2 Volume 1 – Tab F - Subfactor 2: Organization and Technical Approach

5.3.2.1 Submission Requirements

a. Provide information that describes the Offeror’s organization and intended technical approach to executing the construction contract per the detailed requirements herein. Limit the information to 10 pages or less; clearly but concisely describe the organizational and technical approach to project management and execution.

b. Organization: Describe what firms, their resources and how their resources will be utilized, their roles and responsibilities and any contractual arrangements that have been established. Clearly describe any teaming or joint venture arrangements, including a clear description of each firm’s roles and responsibilities on the project. A copy of the teaming or joint venture agreement(s) may be appended to the plan (not included in the page limitation). Include a simple organizational chart (may be 11”x17” foldout, counted as two pages), illustrating the organization, including the proposed quality control group(s). Present a matrix of responsibilities for each firm in executing the key work breakdown structure activities of the project, including construction activities for each major feature. Identify the firms chosen for the project, if not to be self-performed. Describe the proposed management structure for the team, describing how the construction process will be managed and the authorities and the delegations of authority within the team. Include a key personnel organization chart that clearly depicts the key positions and the names of the personnel, their firm affiliations and their job locations, their job/position title within the organization. The key personnel organization chart shall be consistent with the corporate organization chart, with the matrix of responsibilities assigned to the firms, and with the list of key personnel to be provided under the Tab, “Key Personnel”.

*AM1 00 22 11 - 11 *

c. Planning and Scheduling: Describe the time control capabilities and systems to be used to plan construction and how the schedule will be used to manage construction. Discuss internal procedures for handling delays to minimize time growth or ”schedule creep”.

d. Self-Performed Work: Generally describe the items the offeror will self-perform to comply with the requirements in Section 00 72 00 for self-performed work.

e. Quality Control: Describe the team’s quality control approach, corporate systems and capabilities to maintain quality control of the construction. Describe the proposed quality control organization, including the proposed staffing plan. Provide information on how you will handle internal and external requests for information, shop drawings, progress meetings, site visits, contract completion, closeout, as-built, and completion documentation. There is no need to submit a quality control plan as the successful offeror will provide that after award.

f. Safety Plan: Describe the team’s safety approach, corporate systems and capabilities to maintain safety requirements during construction. Describe the proposed safety organization, including the proposed staffing plan. The intent is to provide enough detail to demonstrate the Offeror’s understanding of the project; however, it is not the intent for the Offeror to provide the amount of detail that will be required in the pre-work submittals contained in Division 01 of this RFP. Not included in 10 page limitation. Limit Safety Plan narrative to two pages.

5.3.2.2 Evaluation Criteria

a. The Government will evaluate the strengths, weaknesses and any deficiencies in the plan. The Government will evaluate the firm’s understanding of the requirements described in the Division 01 requirements and the plans and technical specifications of the Solicitation and the capability to execute the project. Some additional specific evaluation considerations are listed below. This list is not all-inclusive.

b. Organization. The Government will evaluate the clarity and strength of the overall organization and how well it is organized, structured and staffed to execute the entire scope of work. If applicable, joint venture participants’ contribution to the organization should be commensurate with their skills and background.

c. Planning and Scheduling. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s scheduling capabilities to manage an integrated schedule.

d. Self-Performed Work: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s proposal to ensure that the self-performed work complies with the requirements of Section 00 73 00 for self-performed work.

e. Quality Control. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s capabilities and understanding of the contractually required quality control processes for construction. The Government will evaluate the adequacy of the staffing plan to cover all required tasks and responsibilities.

f. Safety Plan: The Government will evaluate the narrative for realism, logic, and understanding of the contractual requirements in regard to the safety plan.

5.4 VOLUME 1 - TAB G: FACTOR 3 - PAST PERFORMANCE

5.4.1 Submission Requirements

a. Past performance refers to the quality of recent project experience from the owner's perspective. The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) included in the solicitation (Attachment 5) 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 (Specialized Experience). Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client’s point of contact.

Completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted with your proposal. If the Offeror is unable to

*AM1 00 22 11 - 12 *

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 (Attachment 5), 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, *AM1 Brian Abel Punnie Chittchang via email at Brian.J.Abel@usace.army.mil Punnie.Chittchang@usace.army.mil* prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. Also include performance recognition documents received within the last 5 years such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

b. In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the Offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (ESRS), and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror. Do not request past performance questionnaires on projects that have final ACASS, CCASS, or CPARS evaluations. If a past performance questionnaire is received on a project where a final ACASS, CCASS, or CPARS evaluation exists, the ACASS, CCASS, or CPARS evaluation will serve as the official rating of record for evaluation purposes.

c. Additional past performance examples may be submitted for consideration on any member of a Teaming Arrangement that will perform a major or critical aspect of the project. Projects cited shall be currently well underway (fully designed and at least 50% construction progress completed) or construction substantially completed within seven (7) years preceding the date of this solicitation. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division, unit or team member submitting the offer.

The Government may contact and interview the points of contact and reserves the right to interview other individuals acting for the listed reference, if the listed reference is not available. The team members may also briefly provide information on problems encountered on identified contracts and the team member’s corrective action. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

5.4.2 Evaluation Criteria

a. The Government will perform a performance confidence assessment of the Offeror’s probability of successfully meeting the contract requirements, considering the degree of success of the D-B team’s recent (well under way or turned over no longer than 5 years preceding the date of this solicitation), relevant experience. See explanation of “well underway” and relevancy under the Factor “Specialized Experience”. The Government will assess the past performance on projects submitted under the Specialized Experience Factor and reserves the right to conduct telephone interviews with points of contact identified in the proposal and/or to review other recent projects rated in CCASS/ACASS or other agency performance databases, review and/or contact Offeror furnished references, or to review personal knowledge.

b. The Government will first assess and rate the relevancy of recent projects accomplished by the Offeror to the scope of this contract for overall application to the performance confidence assessment ratings described hereinafter. The projects will include those submitted under the Specialized Experience Factor as well as from other sources described above. This rating is not a separate proposal rating but is only used in developing overall past performance confidence assessment rating assigned to the Past Performance Factor. The past performance relevancy ratings are described below:

(1) Very Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and

*AM1 00 22 11 - 13 *

magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

(2) Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

(3) Somewhat Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

(4) Not Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

c. The Government will next consider how well the Offeror performed on the contracts.
