(Phase 1 of 2)

1.0 OVERVIEW OF PHASE 1 SELECTION PROCEDURES

1.1 This is a two-phase competitive solicitation for a firm, fixed-price contract, which will be awarded using the Best Value Trade-Off Process.

1.2 The Preliminary scope of this contract includes, but is not limited to, a new dormitory that shall provide an approximate 42,625 SF, 2-story facility built at Altus AFB that is compatible with applicable DoD, Air Force, and base design standards. The facility shall be sprinkler-equipped with reinforced concrete foundations (pier and grade beam), floor slabs, ICF (insulated concrete forms) & brick veneer exterior walls, and a standing-seam metal roof system. It shall include Dorm-4-Airmen modules, laundries, storage, lounge area, communications support, utilities, interior finishes, roads, parking, site improvements and all necessary supporting facilities for a complete and usable facility while complying with all DoD antiterrorism/force protection requirements. The project will also demolish 2 facilities totaling approximately 47, 470 square feet.

1.3 Phase 1. The first phase consists of a process known in commercial design-build as the “Request for Qualifications” or the acronym: “RFQ”. This solicitation refers to it as “Phase 1”. In Phase 1 of the 2 Phase design-build selection procedure, interested firms or joint venture entities (referred to as “Offerors”) submit specified performance capability proposals, demonstrating their capability to successfully execute the design-build construction contract resulting from this solicitation. The Government will evaluate the performance capability proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein and will select no more than five (5) of the highest rated Phase 1 Offerors to compete for the design-build contract in Phase 2.

1.3.1 The Phase 1 proposal must describe the capability of the Offeror to perform the work, describe the Offeror’s understanding of the requirements contained in the Statement of Work and set forth full, accurate, and complete information as required by the RFP. The proposal should be prepared simply and economically and be legible, clear, and coherent.

1.4 Phase 2. In Phase 2, the selected Offerors will submit preliminary technical-design proposals and the remainder of the performance capability proposals, including identification of key subcontractors, the proposed contract duration, a preliminary schedule, plus a price proposal in response to the Phase 2 Request for Proposal. The final evaluation rating used for comparison, selection, and award will reflect both the rating received in Phase 1 and the evaluation rating received in Phase 2.

1.5 Offerors will not be participating in a sealed bid procurement process under this acquisition method.

Issuance of this Request for Proposal does not constitute an award commitment on the part of the Government.

2.7 Size of Printed Matter Submissions.

2.7.1 Proposal materials shall be submitted via AMRDEC SAFE website https://safe.armdec.army.mil/safe/, or via email, containing the proposal in PDF file format using Adobe Acrobat software. Proposals shall be tabbed and labeled in a manner to afford easy identification from a Table of Contents. Each page shall be identified with the appropriate page number centered at the bottom of the page. Sheet size of the proposal contents shall be 8-1/2 inches x 11 inches where sheets are prepared specifically for this proposal, unless another paper size is specifically authorized elsewhere in this section for a particular submission. Do not use alternative paper sizes (e.g., 11” x 14” or 11” x 17” sheets) unless specifically authorized in this section for a particular submission. Do not use a font size smaller than 10, an unusual font style such as script, or condensed print for any submission. All page margins must be at least 1 inch wide, but may include headers and footers. Phase 1 proposals shall not exceed 50 single-sided pages, excluding the cover sheet and Table of Contents. A page is defined as text or information on one side of the paper. Factor 2 – Past Performance will not be counted towards this page limitation, nor will the resumes submitted for key personnel. The Government will not evaluate any information beyond the page limitation noted. The Government will not review any information submitted in an appendix or attachment to the proposal. The Offeror shall not submit verbatim sections of this solicitation as part of their proposal.

Offers that do not meet these requirements may be subject to rejection.

2.7.2 The proposals shall contain a detailed table of contents.

2.7.2.1 Proposals shall contain the entire proposal in .pdf format using Adobe Acrobat software to print to a .pdf file; do NOT scan the document(s) into a .pdf file.

4.0 TAB A - STANDARD FORM 1442 AND PROPOSAL DATA SHEET

4.1 Submit the SF 1442, completed and signed by a person authorized by the Offeror. Include the completed proposal data sheet (See attachment 1, provided at the end of this Section).

5.0 TAB B – FACTOR 1 - SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE

5.1 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

5.1.1 The prime contractor and the design firm(s) (or prime contractor if design is to be self-performed) shall each demonstrate recent, relevant experience on similar projects, using Construction – Specialized Experience form – (Attachment 2), and Designer – Specialized Experience Form – (Attachment 3) at the end of the section. Offerors may identify state and local government and private contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements as outlined in Section 01 11 00. If the offeror is a joint venture, each firm shall provide information, demonstrating experience relevant to their role on this project. Submit projects that are currently well underway (designed and at least 50% construction progress completed) or completed and turned over no longer than five (5) 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 or unit submitting the offer or by the team member. Design firms may list prime contractors they have worked for or government, private or commercial customers. The offeror shall select the design firm(s). If projects were design-build, so identify them. Prime contractor must submit at least two multistory dormitory or other multistory multifamily facility projects which include acoustics requirements, multi-purposes spaces, fire protection systems, and a formalized commissioning and test and balance (TAB) process for the HVAC systems with a value of $10 million or greater. The design firm(s) must submit design information for at least two multistory dormitory or other multistory multifamily facility projects which include acoustic requirements, sustainability requirements, interior design, landscape architecture, and fire protection systems with a construction cost of $10 million or greater. Both the prime contractor and the design firm(s) shall each submit at least Three (3) projects but no more than Five (5) projects.

5.1.2 The offeror may provide a supplemental narrative (not project lists), not to exceed two pages, explaining how any corporate experience that is not directly related to the specific projects above is applicable to this project and how the Government will benefit.

5.1.3 The offeror should describe any previous teaming experience between current team members, if not described in the project list. Offeror may describe design-build experience on other type projects. The above information is limited to projects that are well underway or that have been completed and turned over no longer than the past five (5) years preceding the date of this solicitation.

5.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

5.2.1 The Government will evaluate the extent of recent, related experience of the prime contractor and design firms in design, construction or design-build, as relevant to their role on this project. If the design will be accomplished in-house, rather than by subcontract, then the design element of specialized experience will still be evaluated, realizing that the work is being done in-house. Experience on the similar projects identified in the project lists will receive more consideration than experience provided in the supplemental narrative. The Government will place greater importance on projects performed as a prime contractor than as a subcontractor.

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

a) A higher number of relevant projects for both the Prime contractor and the Design Firm(s), up to a maximum of five each.

b) Projects showing experience with design-build construction.

c) Projects Designed for and Constructed on Military installations.

d) Projects with a value of $10 million or greater.

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

f) Projects completed after 2012.

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

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

5.2.2 The Offeror must submit the requested information to demonstrate a record of recent, related experience in both design and construction, for the facility types (which may include similar state or local government or private counterparts) included in this contract, as described in *AM1 Section 00 22 00.

Recent experience includes projects well underway (see above criteria) or those completed and turned over within five (5) years of the proposal issue date for this RFP for design or construction experience. Joint Venture partners should each demonstrate experience commensurate with their role on this project or explain in the supplemental narrative how their experience qualifies them for their role on this project.

5.2.3 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), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), 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.

5.2.4 To receive credit for extent (amount) of experience, the Offeror and its proposed design firm(s) 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.

5.2.5 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 *AM2 7 5 years preceding date of Solicitation)

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

5.2.6 Previous design-build experience is not necessary for an acceptable rating. The Government may consider previous D-B experience a strength, even if the experience is on different type projects than this project. Similarly, the Government may consider previous recent teaming experience among the team members as value added, even if on different type design and/or construction projects than this project. The more relevant the experience, the more credit will be given.

6.0 TAB C – FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE

6.1 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

6.1.1 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.

6.1.2 For each project under Factor 1 that does not have a CPARS evaluation, offerors shall provide a

Past Performance Questionnaire form PPQ-0 (Attachment 4) 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.

6.1.3 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, 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, Brian Hutchison via email Brian.C.Hutchison@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) 669-7426.

6.1.4 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.

6.1.5 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.

6.1.6 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.

6.1.7 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.

6.1.8 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 in Factor 1.

6.1.9 The Government may contact references provided as part of Factor 1 – Experience, for information regarding the Offeror’s past performance on the project and for the purposes of assessing and verifying the scope of the work performed. Offerors should provide accurate, current, and complete contact information for references provided in the project descriptions.

6.1.10 Joint Venture Submission Requirements.

6.1.11 Offerors submitting proposals as a Joint Venture (JV) shall obtain a DUNS number and be registered in the CCR as the offering Joint Venture. The Offeror must provide three (3) to five (5) "recent", "relevant" projects performed by the JV that reflect the JV's ability to perform the work required in this solicitation as required under Factor 1.

6.1.12 If the Offeror cannot provide a sufficient number of projects as the JV to meet the minimum requirement, the Offeror must provide those "recent", "relevant" projects that it has performed as the JV, and then supplement the record with additional "recent", "relevant" projects performed by each JV member in their individual capacities. In such instance, each JV member must satisfy a minimum requirement of two (2) projects, to include any performed as the JV.

6.1.13 If the JV has no "recent", "relevant" projects performed by the JV, then each member of the JV must provide two (2) to three (3) "recent", "relevant" projects performed by the JV member that reflect the JV member's experience commensurate with their role on this project or how their experience qualifies them for their role on this project as required under Factor 1. In such instances the combined experience projects, submitted by each member of the JV, shall not exceed the maximum number of projects stated in paragraph 5.1.1.

6.1.14 In addition to the examples of "Company Specialized Experience" and "Past Performance

Surveys", the Joint Venture shall provide a brief narrative stating the roles that each partner of the Joint Venture will perform on this project and how the presented projects demonstrate the JV member's experience commensurate with their role on this project or how their experience qualifies them for their role on this project. The attached “Specialized Experience" and "Past Performance Survey" forms shall be used by the Joint Venture or the JV partners. Explain how the JV is structured.

6.1.15 Verification: The Government reserves the right to verify the experience record of cited projects or other recent projects not submitted by reviewing the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS, or other Government appraisal systems or to interview owner or references. The Government may check any or all cited references to verify supplied information. An Offeror will be afforded the opportunity to reply to or explain adverse performance information to which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to address.

6.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

6.2.1 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 five (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 CPARS or other agency performance databases, review and/or contact offeror-furnished references, or to review personal knowledge.

6.2.2 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 rating are described below:

6.2.2.1 Very Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

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

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

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

6.2.3 The Government will next consider how well the offeror performed on the contracts. The

Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor performance. With respect to relevancy, past performance on projects with more relevance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment rating than past performance on projects of lesser relevance. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, the Government will only evaluate past performance of the division or unit submitting the offer or by the team member. Owners/references may be asked to comment on items such as quality of design or construction, timeliness, management of the work, subcontractor management, including timely payment to subs or suppliers, safety, relations between owner and designer or contractor, level of support for such things as as-built documentation, O&M manuals, training, correcting design or construction errors, warranty work, etc. The Government will target areas covered in the requirements of this proposal including records of confirming to quality, schedule, cost control, customer satisfaction, level of support for such things as as-built documentation, O&M Manuals, training, problem resolution for design or construction errors, warranty work, and safety. The Government will not release the Interview Forms to the Offeror at any time, in order for the Government to solicit candid, unbiased interview comments. The Government also places a higher value on projects, which document successful outcomes and are supported by outside source confirmation, for example, but not limited to telephone databases, offeror-furnished references, or personal knowledge. The Government also paces a higher value on projects, which provided particularly difficult or unique challenges and the innovative methods the contractor used to resolve problems successfully. The rating for this factor will be expressed as a degree of confidence in the offeror’s ability to successfully accomplish the contract requirements. The rating system used for the performance confidence assessment is described below.

6.2.3.1 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.

6.2.3.2 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

6.2.3.3 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.

6.2.3.4 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.

6.2.3.5 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.

6.2.4 Each entity (firm) will be rated on its own performance or that of its predecessor, if relevant. An entity may establish past performance based on the past performance of its proposed key personnel, apart from that of the entity. If the Government does not obtain past performance information for the projects identified by the offeror and cannot establish a past performance record for the offeror through other sources, past performance will be rated neither favorably nor unfavorably.

7.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

7.2.1 The Government will evaluate the strengths, weaknesses and any deficiencies in the organization and technical approach. The Government will evaluate the firm’s understanding of D-B (and the requirements in described in the Division 01 requirements of the Solicitation) and the capability to execute the project. Some additional specific evaluation considerations are listed below. This list is not all-inclusive.

7.2.2 The Government will evaluate clarity and strength of the overall organization, the structure and staffing to execute the entire scope of work. The Offeror is required to select and commit to design firms to achieve an “acceptable” rating. Joint venture participant’s contribution to the organization should be commensurate with their skills and background.

7.2.3 Offeror’s Understanding: The government will evaluate the offeror's understanding for clarity and conciseness of the challenges and risks of the proposed design and construction as well as the ability to synthesize UFCs 1-200-01, 3-600-01, 3-410-01FA, 4-010-01, USAF Unaccompanied Housing Design Guide, and UFGS 23 05 93 as they apply to this design and construction effort.

7.2.4 Organization: The government will evaluate the offeror’s organizational resources and arrangement to ensure that the contractor has identified and organized resources to perform the work with clear lines of authority and defined delegation of authority. The government will also evaluate that the key personnel organizational chart includes all the required information and is consistent with the corporate organizational chart, matrix of responsibilities and list of key personnel.

7.2.5 Technical Approach for Design and Construction: The Government places a higher value on an offer that provides proposed methods to streamline design and construction, manage labor and other resource constraints in an effort to reduce costs and support aggressive schedules. In addition, clear and concise proposed phasing plans for design, construction and demolition.

7.2.6 Collaborative Approach for Design-Build: The Government will evaluate the integration of the design and construction firms and the staff during design and construction. The constructor must be actively involved in the design process, not just leaving it up to the designer (see Special Contract Requirement (SCR: “Constructor’s role during Design”). The offeror must have an effective configuration management system to control and track revisions to the designs. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s understanding of the design process and the roles of the designers of record and the Government reviewers. The Government will evaluate the role of the designer in maintaining design integrity throughout the process, including its key roles during construction. Additional consideration will be given to a team that includes as many subcontractors as possible (e.g., the key subs for electrical and mechanical, the fire protection subcontractor, fabricators, etc.) during design development, prior to release of the applicable design packages for construction, so that systems and trade coordination can reduce interferences, increase constructability and speed up construction operations. Contractors that include fire protection/mechanical commissioning agents at the design phase of their projects is important to the government and demonstrates the contractors ability to resource and plan early in project stages to prevent costs growth and schedule creep during the later stages of project finishing and close out.

7.2.7 Subcontractor Approach and Management: The government will evaluate the general contractor’s ability to develop and maintain strong subcontractor and small business relationships. The government will evaluate the general contractor’s subcontractor management model and processes.

7.2.8 Planning and Scheduling: The Government will evaluate the offeror’s scheduling capabilities to manage an integrated fast track design-build schedule as it relates to design and construction of laboratories.

7.2.9 Quality Control: The Government will evaluate the offeror’s capabilities and understanding of the contractually required quality control processes for both design and construction. The Government places value upon continued participation by the designers of record during the construction quality control process. The Government will evaluate the adequacy of the staffing plan to cover all required tasks and responsibilities.

7.2.10 Safety: The government will evaluate the offeror’s capabilities and understanding of the contractually required safety processes for construction.

7.2.11 Key Personnel Capabilities and Experience: 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, which includes previous satisfactory experience in similar type work, to manage, control and perform the design, and to perform construction. Performance of key personnel proposed for this project may be taken into account when it comes to the attention of the Government. Evaluate how well the Offeror demonstrates that it has the necessary structure and experienced, qualified personnel within its organization to effectively manage, control, administer and execute the integrated design and construction operations, quality control program and subcontracts.
