1.0 OVERVIEW

1.1. The Government is looking for ways to streamline construction, manage labor and other resource constraints in an effort to reduce costs and achieve an aggressive schedule in executing contracts to meet the Army’s goals of faster project execution at lower cost, while taking advantage of industry standards, means and methods. In Phase 1 of the 2 phase design-build selection procedure, interested firms or joint venture entities (referred to as ”Offerors”) submit certain 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 up to five (5) of the Phase 1 Offerors to compete for the design-build contract in Phase 2.

1.2. In Phase 2, the short-listed Offerors will submit proposals in accordance with Section 00 22 20 PHASE

2 DESIGN-BUILD SELECTION PROCEDURES AND BASIS OF AWARD.

2.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

2.1. Firms formally organized as design-build entities, design firms and 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. Any legally organized Offeror may submit a proposal. To qualify for Phase 2, the Offeror or Offerors subcontractor has to have or will have to have professional architects and engineers, registered in the appropriate technical disciplines and the requirements specified in Contract Clause, ”Requirements for Registration of Designers”, must be met. All designs must be under the direct supervision of appropriately licensed professionals for each discipline involved.

2.2. Submit the Phase 1 proposal per section 00 21 00 and the directions contained herein. Note that the Government will not evaluate any material that exceeds the page limits, indicated in paragraphs below. Phase 1 does not involve pricing submission.

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 (e.g. major repairs/replacements/new installations to the systems and components described in Section 01 10 00 STATEMENT OF WORK). If the Offeror is a joint venture, each firm shall provide information, demonstrating experience relevant to their role on this project.

Submit projects selected from those discussed in the experience narrative that are currently well underway (designed and at least 50% construction progress completed) or completed and turned over within five (5) years preceding the date of this solicitation. Prime Contractors shall submit at least 3 projects that are relevant/similar to the subject project with a dollar value that equals or exceeds $20 million dollars.

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. Both the prime contractor and the design firm(s) shall each submit no more than five (5) projects for each of the project types or their equivalent or similar commercial or institutional type:

Repair Starship B6007 – TBUP (Repair of Administrative/Educational Dormitory Building) see statement of work for more details.

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. The following information may be considered.

5.1.2.1. The Offeror should describe any previous teaming experience between current team members, if not described in the project list. Describe team members’ experience on LEED projects, if not included on 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 years preceding the date of this solicitation. Limit to two pages.

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 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.

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 project types (which may include similar state or local government or private counterparts) included in this contract, as described in Section 00 22 00 (this section). 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. Prime Contractors shall submit at least 3 projects that are relevant/similar to the subject project with a dollar value that equals or exceeds $20 million dollars.

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), 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 5 years preceding the date of this Solicitation)

(3) Firm's role and extent of work self-performed (brokering out all work and simply “placing 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.

5.2.7. The firm(s) preparing the design must demonstrate qualifications and experience in sustainable design and development and design, based on experience on projects that have achieved US Green Building Council’s LEED certification or were certifiable at LEED silver or better, or experience on completed Corps of Engineers design-build projects that were validated LEED silver rating, for an acceptable rating. Additional consideration will be given if both the constructor and the design firm(s) demonstrate qualifications and experience on LEED.

6.0 TAB C – FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE

6.1. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

a. For the projects listed under Factor 1 – Specialized Experience, the Government will query the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (to include ACASS, CCASS, and CPARS) to validate past performance ratings on Department of Defense contracts and any other past performance information the Government deems necessary to evaluate a contractor’s past performance.

b. For each project that does not have an ACASS, CCASS, or CPARS evaluation, Offerors shall forward a copy of the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) included at Attachment 4 to the points of contact responsible for monitoring performance under such contracts. The Past Performance Questionnaire 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 2. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted with your proposal. Offerors must follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. Offerors shall not incorporate PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs by reference in their proposal. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

c. The information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the Offeror’s past performance. If any negative past performance information is received, the contractor will be given an opportunity to provide rebuttal. Each contractor shall provide at least three (3) past performance ratings.

Any rating an Offeror has in ACASS, CCASS, and CPARS for the projects listed under Factor 1 will count toward this requirement. The Offeror is responsible for ensuring that the KO has received a minimum of three (3) questionnaires prior to that date/time or has provided written notification to the KO that they have current ratings in ACASS, CCASS, and CPARS. Entities that have no past customers shall so state in their proposal that they have had no previous clients or that the minimum number of questionnaires cannot be provided. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that the reference documentation is provided, as the Government may not make additional requests for past performance information from the references. The evaluation form should be submitted with your proposal. 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.

d. The Government may contact references provided as part of Factor 1 – Specialized 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.

e. 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), 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 sources not provided by the Offeror.

f. 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.

6.1.1 Joint Venture Submission Requirements. Offerors submitting proposals as a Joint Venture (JV) shall obtain a DUNS number and be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) 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 by paragraph 5.1 “Specialized Experience”.

a. 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 the minimum requirement of three (3) projects, to include any performed as the JV. However no offeror shall submit more than five (5) projects as stated in paragraph 5.1.

b. If the JV has no "recent", "relevant" projects performed by the JV, then each member of the JV must provide three (3) to five (5) "recent", "relevant" projects performed by the JV member that reflect the JV member's ability to perform the work required in this solicitation as required by paragraph 5.1 “Specialized Experience”.

c. In addition to the examples of "Company Specialized Experience" and "Past Performance Surveys", the Joint Venture shall provide a brief narrative (not to exceed 1 page) stating the roles that each partner of the Joint Venture will perform 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.

d. 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 owners 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:

a. Past Performance evaluation includes two aspects that results in the assessment of the Offeror’s probability of performing the requirements stated in the RFP based on the Offeror’s demonstrated performance on recent, relevant contracts (well under way or turned over no longer than five (5) years preceding the date of this solicitation). First Offeror’s past performance will be evaluated to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the Offeror is to the requirements of the RFP. Second the Offeror’s past performance shall be given a Performance Confidence Assessment based on how well the contractor performed on recent and relevant past 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. 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 construction, timeliness, management of the work subcontractor management, including timely payment to subs or suppliers, safety, relations between owner and contractor, level of support for such things as as-built documentation, O&M manuals, training, correcting construction errors, warranty work, etc. The Government will target areas covered in the requirements of this proposal including records of conforming to quality, schedule, cost control, customer satisfaction, level of support for such things as as-built documentation, O&M manuals, training, problem resolution for construction errors, warranty work, and safety. The Government will not release interview information 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 interviews with points of contact identified in the proposal, CCASS/ACASS or other agency performance databases, Offeror furnished references, or personal knowledge. The Government also places a higher value on recent relevant projects and projects, which provided particularly difficult or unique challenges and the innovative methods the contractor used to resolve problems successfully. The Government’s evaluation is not limited to past performance information on the cited example projects. Firms without a history of past performance will receive a neutral rating.

b. Each entity (firm) will be rated on its own performance or that of its predecessor, if relevant. An entity may not 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. The performance risk will be considered “unknown”.

Provide specific information on how you will manage design quality control, track design evolution and changes during design to meet the schedule and to facilitate quicker Government reviews. Provide information on how you will handle internal and external requests for information, shop drawings, submittal reviews, progress meetings, site visits, contract completion, closeout, as-built, and completion documentation. In addition to the required designer-of-record roles specified within the RFP for maintaining integrity of the design, describe any other DOR involvement in the quality control process, if any. There is no need to submit a quality control plan as the successful Offeror will provide that after award. In phase 1, the Government is interested in demonstrable capabilities to assure and control quality and how the Offeror can achieve or exceed the contract’s minimum quality control system requirements.

7.1.8. Key Project Personnel Capabilities and Experience: (Not included in the 15 page count limit above.) Provide a consolidated list of key personnel with name, position title and description of project responsibility for each. Indicate whether each individual has had a significant role in any of the cited project examples. Include key designers, whether employed by the prime or by a design subcontractor.

For each person provide a brief resume, using the Key Personnel Resume form (Attachment 5) at the end of this section. Include the prime contractor's project manager responsible for design and construction, the design manager, the designers of record for architecture, interior design, structural, civil, fire protection, electrical, mechanical/plumbing, and permit preparers. Permit preparers must be professionally registered in the state the project is located. Where projects are located in states that require a separate registration for design of structures, the structural designer of record must be registered in that state. All other designers of record must be registered in accordance with contract clause: 52.236-25 entitled “Requirements for Registration of Designers”. For construction, include the on-site manager and general superintendent (in charge of self-performed work). Provide unequivocal letters of commitment on Attachment 6 at the end of this section for all proposed key personnel not currently employed by the team members.

7.1.9. 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. Limit to two pages (not included in the total 15 pages listed in para. 7.1.1).

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. Organization: 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. Technical Approach for Design and Construction: The Government places a higher value on an offer that provides proposed methods to streamline construction, manage labor and other resource constraints in an effort to reduce costs and support an aggressive schedule, including such things as fast-tracking, using factory built modules or assemblies, panelization, pre-cast, tilt-up, standard designs, etc.

The Government will also consider whether the approach reduces on-site craft labor and susceptibility to inclement weather delays.

7.2.4. Collaborative Approach for Design-Build: The use of 3-dimensional (3D) Building Information Model (BIM) technology in the design process is a requirement. The BIM requirements are described in Section 01 33 16 DESIGN AFTER AWARD. 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 design. 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. The Government places greater value in collaborative development of the Building Information Model as early as possible during the design and construction process. 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. Additional consideration will also be given to a team that includes one or more BIM “Contractor Electives”, as described in Attachment A of Section 01

33 16 DESIGN AFTER AWARD.

7.2.5. Planning and Scheduling: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s scheduling capabilities to manage an integrated fast track design-build schedule. Additional consideration will be given for teams that provide 4-D Schedule modeling with demonstrated experience in BIM.

7.2.6. Self-Performed Work: The Government will evaluate the Contractor’s resources to determine if it has the capability to self-perform the required amount of the project, in accordance with public policy to assure adequate interest in and supervision of all work. These requirements are outlined in Section 00

73 00 SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS.

7.2.7. 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.

7.2.8. 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.

This shall be achievable with other projected on-going work.
