1.0 OVERVIEW

1.1. A pool of up to five (5) MATOCs will be awarded through FAR Part 15, One-Step Best Value “Trade-Off” Source Selection. When combined all non-cost factors are significantly more important than price. The Government is concerned with achieving the most advantageous balance between technical merit (quality) and price.

The shared sum of all Task Orders among the MATOCs (total contract capacity) shall not exceed the estimated amount of $49,500,000.00.

1.4. General Description of Work: This MATOC will support a wide range of design-bid-build (DBB) requirements to include but not necessarily limited to projects for new utilities, relocation of existing utilities, maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation of roads and other paved surfaces, small inhabitable structures, revetment and shoreline protection, small concrete outlet work and control structures, foundation drainage systems, and other ancillary features that support flood control and navigation infrastructure. Disciplines and related work requirements may include, but not limited to: (1) Civil Construction and Related Activities. Construction surveying, grading and earthwork, dredging, surface and subsurface storm drainage and drainage control structures, storm water management, erosion and sediment control, shoreline protection, clearing and grubbing, paving and surfacing for roads, parking areas, and sidewalks, parking layout, pavement markings, traffic control and signage, gates and fencing, curbs and gutters, railroads, dewatering, landscaping, seeding, sprigging, and sodding, riprap and stone protection, retaining walls, buried structures, slope stabilization, foundations, borings, trenching, berms and utility relocation; (2) Structural Construction and Related Activities. Rehabilitation or replacement of concrete structures associated with flood control or navigation infrastructures; and (3) Utilities. Sanitary sewers, lighting, and installation or relocation of other utilities as required for road repair and rebuilding or other site work.

1.5. Location of Work: Projects may be located anywhere within the USACE Tulsa District Boundaries, which for Civil Works includes all of Oklahoma, and portions of Texas and Kansas.

1.6.

Contractor’s work and responsibility shall include all Contractor planning, programming, administration, and management necessary to provide all work as specified. The Contractor shall conduct all work in strict compliance with the contract and all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, codes, and directives. The Contractor shall provide related services such as preparing and submitting required reports, performing administrative, and submitting necessary information as specified under this contract and within each task order.

2.0 BASIS OF AWARD

2.1. The Contracting Officer intends to award a pool of no less than three (3) but no more than five Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity MATOCs from this FAR Part 15 One-Step Best Value “Trade Off” Source Selection.

When combined all non-cost factors are significantly more important than price. The Government is concerned with achieving the most advantageous balance between technical merit (quality) and price. The degree of importance of price could become greater depending upon the equality of the technical proposals. If competing technical proposals are determined to be essentially equal, price could become the controlling factor.

2.2. The intent of the solicitation is to obtain the best proposal for the work within the solicitation to not only include the specific seed task order, but also for anticipated work identified in paragraph 1.4 “General Description of Work”.

2.3. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest price offer, or to reject all offers.

a) Overall Rating for Factors 1, 2, and 3, including proposal risk rating

b) Overall Consensus Rating for the Technical Proposal

c) Overall Proposal Risk for the Technical Proposal

2.6. After Price Analysis has been performed on each Offeror’s Price Proposal for the Seed Task Order, the price will be added to the Matrix.

2.7. Award of the MATOCs will be made through comparative analysis of the evaluated ratings for Factors 1, 2, 3, and 4. The Source Selection Authority (SSA) will determine which Offerors best conform to the a firm fixed-price contract to the responsible Offeror whose proposal the Source Selection Authority determines conforms to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government, considering all non-price factors described herein, and price. All evaluation factors, other than price, when combined, are considered significantly more important than the price.

2.8. After award of the MATOCs, the Seed Task Order will be awarded to one of the MATOCs through a comparative analysis between the evaluation of Factor 3 and the price proposed in Factor 4 for all of the MATOCs (i.e. trade off). The SSA will determine which MATOC best conforms to the solicitation (Factors 3 and 4), is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government.

2.9. The remaining MATOCs will be awarded the minimum guarantee.

5.1.1.1. The Offeror shall demonstrate recent, relevant experience on similar projects using the Company – Specialized Experience Form – Attachment 1 at the end of this section. Offerors may identify state and local government as well as private contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements as outlined in paragraph

1.4 of this section. If the Offeror is a joint venture or teaming arrangement, each firm shall provide information, demonstrating experience relevant to their role on this project. Offeror shall provide a copy of the joint venture agreement or letters of commitment from all teaming contractors and / or subcontractors (agreements and letters of commitment will not count towards the page limitation). Contractors other than the prime to include key subcontractor’s experience will not be considered without the required agreements or letters of commitment.

Offeror shall submit projects that are currently underway and at least 50% complete or completed and turned over no longer than five (5) years preceding the date of this solicitation. If any firm has multiple functions or division, limit the project examples to those performed by the division or unit submitting the offer or by the team member.

5.1.1.2. Prime contractor must submit at least one relevant project involving civil works construction as described in the General Description of Work for this MATOC (paragraph 1.4), with a value of $3,000,000.00 or greater; the remainder of the projects submitted to demonstrate the experience of the prime shall be at least $500,000.00 in value. The prime contractor must submit a minimum of three (3) projects.

5.1.1.3. The Offeror may at their discretion submit up to eight (8) total projects (inclusive of the 3 mandatory projects identified in paragraph 5.1.1.2) either completed by the prime contractor or key team members / subcontractors. Key team members and subcontractors shall also utilize the Company – Specialized Experience Form – Attachment 1 at the end of this section. Letters of Commitment from key team members / subcontractors must be provided for their specialized experience to be considered in the evaluation for this subfactor.

5.1.1.4. The Offeror may provide supplemental narrative (not project lists), not to exceed two (2) pages, explaining how any corporate experience that is not directly related to specific projects above is applicable to this MATOC, and how the Government will benefit.

5.1.1.5. The Offeror should include in the supplemental narrative any previous experience between current team members, if not described in the submitted Company – Specialized Experience Forms. 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.

5.1.2. Evaluation Criteria:

5.1.2.1. The Government will evaluate the extent of recent experience of the prime contractor as relevant to their role on this project. 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, depending upon overall role and relevancy considerations.

5.1.2.2. The Government will evaluate the extent of recent experience of the proposed key team members as relevant to their role on this project. Experience on the similar projects identified in the project lists will receive more consideration than experience provided in the supplemental narrative.

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

a. Projects constructed for the Corps of Engineers.

b. Projects with a value of $3 million or greater.

c. Fully completed projects rather than substantially complete projects.

e. Projects completed after 2017.

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

5.1.2.3. The Offeror shall submit the requested information to demonstrate a record of recent, related experience, for the project types (which may include similar state or local government or private counterparts) included in this contract, as described in 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. Joint Venture partners or teaming 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. If any of the information required is not included in the forms (Attachment 1), then the Contractor will be considered non-responsive and evaluated as unacceptable.

5.1.2.4. The Government reserves the right to verify the experience record of cited projects or other recent projects by reviewing 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), other databases; or interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency or to interview owners or references.

The Government may check any or all cited references to verify supplied information.

5.1.2.5. 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 subfactor for the relevant experience of key personnel proposed for this project. If Offeror represents the combining of two or more companies for the purpose of this RFP, the proposal shall clearly identify the contractual responsibilities of each firm and the work to be performed by each; describe the nature of the association; indicate whether the firms have experience working together in construction ventures, including how long and how many projects. In addition, each company, including joint ventures, shall list their Government contract experience. Provide a copy of the commitment letter of the firms (see Attachment 5) or the Joint Venture Agreement.

5.1.2.6. 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 five (5) years preceding date of Solicitation)

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

5.1.2.7. The Government will consider the breadth of experience of the Offeror. Offerors that are able to demonstrate specialized experience in multiple project types referenced in paragraph 1.4 above will receive more consideration than offerors that only demonstrate experience in one of the referenced project types.

5.1.2.8. The Government may consider previous recent teaming experience among the team members, JV partners or key teaming subcontractors, as value added, even if on different construction projects than this project. The more relevant the experience, the more credit will be given.

5.1.2.9. If because of reasons beyond the control of the Offeror, the proposed team members to include subcontractors named in this proposal are not able to participate as identified, replacement team members or subcontractors for this project shall be required to have qualifications and experience meeting or exceeding those identified in the proposal. Replacements shall be presented for acceptance and approval by the Contracting Officer.
