The following have been modified:

EVALUATION CRITERIA

SECTION 00 22 11

EVALUATION CRITERIA, BASIS OF AWARD

*AM0002

1. OVERVIEW

This is a competitive best value solicitation using trade off procedures for a construction contract for the Advanced Individual Trainee Barracks (AIT) 1300 persons Dining Facility (DFAC) project located at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The Government will evaluate proposals in accordance with the criteria, described herein and award a firm fixed-price contract to the responsible firm whose proposal conforms to all the terms and conditions of the solicitation and is determined the overall best value to the Government.

General Description of Work: Construct the Advanced Individual Trainee Barracks Complex, Phase 2 Dining Facility located at Fort Sill, Oklahoma in accordance with the plans and specifications.

1.1 WHO CAN SUBMIT

a. Firms formally organized as small business construction contractors; firms associated specifically for this project as a small business. Associations may be as joint ventures, partnerships, or as key team subcontractors, or any other interested small business parties may submit proposals. Associations may be as joint ventures as a partnership in accordance with FAR 9.601, or as key team subcontractors. To qualify the requirements of paragraphs 5.1.2.a(3) and 7.1.1 (below) must be met.

b. Organization Conflicts of Interest (OCI) Disclosure: The Offeror shall provide a disclosure statement with its proposal which concisely describes all the relevant facts concerning past or present organizational conflicts of interest relating to work on this project. In the same statement, and if applicable, the Offeror shall provide information to assure the Government that the conflicts of interest have been mitigated and/or neutralized to the maximum extent possible. If a conflict of interest is discovered after award of this contract, the Contracting Officer will make a decision whether to terminate the contract.

2.0 BASIS OF AWARD

The Contracting Officer intends to award 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 price. The intent of this solicitation is to obtain the best proposal for the required work. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offers. The Government will not award a contract if the proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001. The Government reserves the right to reject any offer if the offer is not in the best interest of the Government.

If awarded the contract, the Offeror shall construct the project in accordance with the plans and specifications.

3.0 PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 REQUIREMENT FOR SEPARATE PRICE AND TECHNICAL PROPOSALS

3.1.1 Each Offeror shall submit a Price Proposal and Technical Proposal. The Price Proposal and Technical Proposal must be submitted as separate files. Ensure that each file is clearly marked to indicate its contents, and the identity of the Offeror.

3.1.2 The Price Proposal and Technical Proposal must be received by the closing date and time set for receipt of proposals.

3.1.3 No dollar amounts from the Price Proposal are to be included in the Technical Proposal.

3.1.4 All information intended to be evaluated as part of the Technical Proposal must be submitted as part of the Technical Proposal (Volume 1). Do not merely cross-reference similar material in the Price Proposal, or vice versa.

Also, do not include links to websites in lieu of incorporating information into your proposal.

3.1.5 TAB A: Deviations, Exception and Assumptions

Deviations and exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the technical or price proposal are neither encouraged nor desired. Should the offer include any standard company terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, the offer may be determined “unacceptable” and, thus, ineligible for award. Should the Offeror have any questions related to specific terms and conditions, these must be resolved prior to submission of the offer. Notwithstanding the above, if deviations and exceptions are included with the offer, the Offeror shall list and describe in detail the deviations and/or exceptions under Tab A. All deviations and exceptions shall be fully supported with the Offeror’s rationale and shall fully explain the impact, if any, on the performance and/or specific requirement of the RFP. Deviations from the minimum standard of quality required by the RFP shall not be accepted unless identified by the offeror’s proposal and specifically approved by the Contracting Officer in writing. If unapproved, the Contractor must provide the RFP requirements without additional cost to the Government. If approved, the accepted deviation will take precedence as a provision of the solicitation.

The Offeror shall also clearly describe on the Tab B submitted with the Price Proposal any exception to the contractual and/or technical terms and include the monetary impact on the solicitation with the price proposal. If the offeror has no deviations, exceptions, or assumptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation, they must submit a statement indicating this. This information will not be evaluated separately but may impact the evaluation of other factors.

Offerors are urged to read paragraph 2.0 and the definitions contained in paragraph 10.3 9.3 carefully. *AM0002

3.2 DISCUSSIONS

The Government does not intend to enter into discussions with offerors prior to making an award. Offerors are encouraged to present their best technical proposal and price proposal in their initial proposal submission. However, in accordance with FAR Part 15.306, should discussions become necessary, the Government reserves the right to hold them. If this occurs, a competitive range will be determined, and offerors notified. The competitive range may be limited for purposes of efficiency in accordance with (IAW) FAR Part 15.306(c)(2).

5.0 VOLUME 1 TAB B – FACTOR 1 PAST PERFORMANCE

There are two aspects to the performance confidence evaluation: relevancy and quality of past performance. In accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2), the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor's performance shall be considered. Relevance and quality of performance will be combined to establish one performance confidence assessment rating for each Offeror.

5.1 RELEVANCY OF PAST EXPERIENCE

5.1.1 These projects must be of relevant scope and complexity to the solicited project. The Offeror shall submit information on up to five (5), but no more than five (5), completed projects demonstrating the Offeror's recent and relevant experience using the Company – Specialized Experience form – (Attachment 1) at the end of the section. If any of the information required is not included in these forms, the Offeror will be considered non-responsive and evaluated as unacceptable. Each project submitted shall be limited to two (2) page per project. Projects must be one hundred percent (100%) complete or meet the Beneficial Occupancy Date (BOD) requirement.

All projects must have a construction completion date or BOD no earlier than seven (7) years preceding the original date of issuance of this solicitation. BOD is the point at which the customer determines the facility or area can be occupied from both a regulatory and work function standpoint.

5.1.2 To determine relevance, the agency will evaluate the following. This list is not all-inclusive. The offeror may submit other types of projects but must explain the relevancy of those projects to the project that is being solicited in this RFP. However, the more items that are included in a project the more relevant the experience and the more credit will be given:

i. A project with a value of $15M.

ii. A project that involved the construction of a dining facility or the construction of a large restaurant or cafeteria with an industrial kitchen.

iii. A Design-Bid-Build project.

iv. A project constructed on Military installation or other restricted access sites.

v. Projects that demonstrate experience with High Performance and Sustainable Building (HPSB) Guiding

Principles certification per UFC 1‐200‐02, LEED certification or, other third-party sustainability certifications.

5.1.3 The Offeror shall submit the requested information to demonstrate a record of recent, related experience, for the facility types. Offerors may identify state and local government and private contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements as outlined in the Summary of Work Section 01 11 00.

5.1.4 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 for all teaming contractors, agreements and letters of commitment will not count towards the page limitations, failure to provide the joint venture agreement or letters of commitment will result in the proposal being evaluated as unacceptable. 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. Joint Venture partners or teaming partners should each demonstrate experience commensurate with 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.

5.1.5 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 factor 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. A copy of the teaming or joint venture agreement(s) must be appended to the plan under Factor 2 Sub-factor 1 (not included in the page limitation). If the letter of commitment is not included for a teaming subcontractor, the contractor will not receive credit for teaming subcontractor’s experience under this factor and the submitted projects will not be reviewed. Each member of the team must provide one (1) to two (2) "recent", "relevant" projects performed by the team member that reflect the team member's experience commensurate with their role on this project or how their experience qualifies them for their role on this project. In such instances the combined experience projects, submitted by each member of the team, shall not exceed the maximum number of projects stated in paragraph 5.1.1.

5.1.6 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:

i. Number, size, type work, complexity, location

ii. Dates completed no more than seven (7) years preceding date of Solicitation

iii. 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)

5.1.7 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 type design and/or construction projects than this project. The more relevant the experience, the more credit will be given.

5.2 PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

5.2.1 For each of the projects submitted, provide a copy of the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) report. If CPARS does not exist, please provide a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attachment 2) to a representative of the owner. 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 1, Past Performance. 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. 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 (Attachment 2), 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, Tyler Godwin via email Tyler.L.Godwin@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. Form PPQ-0 at Attachment 2 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. If you have questions regarding the attached questionnaire, or require assistance, please contact the Contract Specialist at (918) 669-7281.

5.2.2 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), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), 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. The information obtained from these sources will be evaluated supplementary to the past performance questionnaires. In reference to the contracts pulled from these sources, the relevancy of the projects, completion dates, ratings and comments in the individual categories and overall ratings will be considered in making the overall confidence assessment.

5.2.3 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. The offeror is responsible for ensuring that the completed questionnaires are submitted by the closing date.

*AM0002

5.2.4 No additional information may be submitted under this factor, unless the Offeror is submitting proposals as a Joint Venture in which case the offeror shall provide the brief narrative as described in paragraph 5.2.9.d 5.3.d below. Inclusion of additional information will result in the contractor being found unacceptable and may result in the contractor being removed from further consideration.

5.2.5 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.

5.2.6 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.

5.2.7 The Government may contact references, for information regarding the Offeror’s past performance on the project and for the purposes of assessing and verifying Section 00 22 11 the scope of the work performed. Offerors should provide accurate, current, and complete contact information for references provided in the project descriptions.

5.3 JOINT VENTURE SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

a. 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.

b. 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.

c. 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. 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

d. In addition to the examples of "Company Specialized Experience" and "Past Performance Surveys", the Joint Venture shall provide a brief narrative not to exceed five (5) pages 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.

e. 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.

5.4 RATING METHODS

5.4.1 Each submitted project will be assigned one of the levels of relevancy shown in Table 1.

Table 1. Past Performance Relevancy Rating Method

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

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

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

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

5.4.2 In reviewing each past performance effort by the Offeror, the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will then evaluate the overall quality of the Offeror's past performance (see FAR 15 .304(c)(2)) to determine the performance confidence assessment rating. The past performance evaluation conducted in support of a current source selection does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the Offeror's past performance on past contracts; rather, the past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the Offeror performed those past contracts.

5.4.3 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.

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 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 places a higher value on projects, which provided particularly difficult or unique challenges and the innovative methods the contractor used to resolve problems successfully. (see Table 2 below).

5.4.4 The past performance confidence assessment rating is based on the Offeror's overall record of recency, relevancy, and quality of performance. At the conclusion of the assessment, the Offeror shall be assigned one of the ratings in Table 2.

Table 2. Performance Confidence Assessment Adjectival Rating Definition Substantial Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral)

No recent/relevant performance record is available, or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

5.4.5 Each entity (firm) will be rated on its own performance or that of its predecessor, as defined in FAR 52.204-20, 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 confidence assessment will be considered “Unknown Confidence”.

Discuss how non-performance by subcontractors is handled by the general contractor. Discuss the types of relationships the general contractor has with local small business subcontractors and how the general contractor promotes the development of small business subcontractors to include training, development, and mentoring. The Government wants to understand that the general contractor places emphasis on strong business relationships with subcontractors to maximize the number of quotes the general contractor obtains during proposal preparations that demonstrates market competition and the best valued prices are being provided to the Government.
