Section 00 22 00 - Supplementary Instructions

SECTION 00 22 00

PHASE 1 OF 2 PHASE DESIGN-BUILD SELECTION PROCEDURES

1.0 OVERVIEW OF PHASE 1 AND PHASE 2 SELECTION PROCEDURES

1.1 Phase 1. The first phase consists of a process known in commercial design-build (DB) as the “Request for Qualifications” or the acronym: “RFQ”. This solicitation refers to it as “Phase 1”. In Phase 1 of the 2-phase selection procedure, interested firms or joint venture entities (referred to as “Offerors”) submit specified performance capability proposals, demonstrating their capability to successfully execute design-build construction and design-bid-build construction contracts 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 eight (8) of the highest rated Phase 1 Offerors to compete for the MATOC contracts in Phase 2.

1.2 Phase 2. In Phase 2, the selected Offerors will submit proposals in accordance with the Section 00 22 20

PHASE 2 DESIGN-BUILD SELECTION PROCEDURES AND BASIS OF AWARD.

1.3 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.

1.4 Proposal Submissions and the Trade-Off Process. This process permits tradeoffs among cost or price and non- cost factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest-priced proposal. Offerors submit their performance and capability information for review and consideration by the Government. For those Offerors selected to compete during Phase 2, relative importance among technical factors are provided in Section 00 22 20 PHASE 2 DESIGN-BUILD SELECTION PROCEDURES AND BASIS OF AWARD. The Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) reviews, evaluates, and rates the proposals against the source selection criteria in the RFP.

A competitive range consisting of the most highly qualified technical Offerors will be established prior to discussion (if held). The SSEB will review, evaluate and rate the initial task order project technical proposals against the source selection criteria in the RFP for those Offerors included in the competitive range. Concurrently, the Government analyzes price proposals of Offerors utilizing the initial task order project cost proposal. Price will not be rated, but will be a factor in making the final best-value determination for award. The Source Selection Authority (SSA) compares proposals to one another and determines the best value for the government. The perceived benefits of the higher priced proposal must merit the additional cost, and the rationale for tradeoffs must be documented.

1.5 Initial Task Order Project. Those Offerors selected to compete during Phase 2 of the solicitation shall submit Technical and Cost (Price) proposals for the initial task order as part of Phase 2 Proposal submittals. See Section 00 22 20 PHASE 2 DESIGN-BUILD SELECTION PROCEDURES AND BASIS OF AWARD. The scope of work for an initial task order project will be provided to Phase 2 Offerors in Section 01 10 00 TASK ORDER STATEMENT OF WORK. The initial task order project cost proposal will be used to evaluate price for the basic MATOC contracts. The best value initial task order may be awarded to one of the most highly-rated contractors on the MATOC pool if it is in the best interest of the Government.

1.6 Task Orders. Individual task orders will be competed among the contracts awarded under this MATOC pursuant to FAR 16.505. Generally, award will be made to the contractor that provides the best value to the Government, unless otherwise indicated. Source Selection decisions will not be subject to the Disputes Clause of this MATOC (FAR 52.233-1 or its Alternate).

1.7 Performance of Work. If the Contractor is awarded a contract, the contractor shall perform work in accordance with Section 00 90 00 DESCRIPTION/SPECS/WORK STATEMENT, with the Scope of Work provided with each Task Order (Section 01 10 00 TASK ORDER STATEMENT OF WORK), and with strict accordance with the terms and conditions specified within the RFP and each Task Order.

5.1 OFFEROR’S SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

5.1.1 The Contractor shall demonstrate recent, relevant experience on similar projects, using the Project Information Worksheet form (Attachment 2), 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 00 90 00 DESCRIPTION/SPECS/WORK STATEMENT, paragraph 1.1. If the Offeror is a joint venture, each firm shall provide information, demonstrating experience relevant to their role on this project and in accordance with the Joint Venture Submission Requirements. Offerors shall provide project information on a minimum of five (5) but no more than ten (10) completed or substantially complete projects, of which three (3) projects submitted can be currently under construction and at least 50% complete, that reflect experience in the construction elements referenced in Section 00 90 00 DESCRIPTION/SPECS/WORK STATEMENT, paragraph 1.1. Project examples must include one

(1) project with a contract value equal to or greater than $4,000,000 (may be any type of project with multiple disciplines); all other projects must have a contract value equal to or greater than $1,000,000. Provide two (2) projects that are heavily mechanical in nature; two (2) renovation projects in an occupied facility; one (1) design-build new construction project. As a minimum, the Contractor shall provide the data specified in the attached “Project Information” Worksheet. Projects shall be individual projects or task orders with specific requirements and deliverables. Do not include multiple task orders under an IDC as one project. Each project submitted shall be limited to two (2) page per project.

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 Joint Ventures. 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 or the Joint Venture Agreement. The agreement must include the information above shall be submitted as part of the Pro Forma requirements but may be considered as part of the Factor 1 evaluation. Prior to award of any contract, a copy of the Joint Venture Agreement will be required. If approval of the Joint Venture Agreement is required by the Small Business Administration (SBA), failure to timely provide an approved Small Business Administration Joint Venture Agreement may prevent award of a contract.

5.1.3.1 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 five (5) but no more than ten (10) "recent", "relevant" projects performed by the JV that reflect the JV's ability to perform the work required in this solicitation.

5.1.3.2 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 three (3) projects, to include any performed as the JV.

5.1.3.3 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 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 JV, shall not exceed the maximum number of projects stated in paragraph 5.1.1.

5.1.3.4 In addition to the examples of "Company Specialized Experience", 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.

5.1.4 Total page count for Factor 1 shall not exceed 22 pages.

5.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA

The Government will review the projects provided by the Offeror to evaluate and rate the recent relevant specialized experience of the Offeror with similar projects. Experience with task order contracts may be demonstrated by provision of individual task orders in the experience form that meets the submission requirements as outlined in paragraph 5.1.1. If the Offeror cannot provide suitable relevant experience and the evaluators consider the information provided indicates that the Offeror has no relevant experience, a determination will be made as to the risk this lack of corporate experience presents to the Government; and the proposal will be evaluated accordingly.

The experience of individuals will not be evaluated under this factor.

The Government will evaluate the extent of recent, related experience of the Contractor in construction and/or design-build projects. 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. Projects designed for and constructed for the Corps of Engineers or other DoD components.

b. Projects involving design and construction using similar task order contracts.

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

d. Fully completed projects rather than substantially complete projects.

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

5.2.1 The Offeror must submit the requested information to demonstrate a record of recent, related experience which may include similar state or local government or private counterparts, as described in 00 90 00 DESCRIPTION/SPECS/WORK STATEMENT, paragraph 1.1. 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 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.

5.2.2 The Government reserves the right to verify the experience record of cited projects or other recent projects by reviewing the Corps of Engineers 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.

5.2.3 To receive credit for extent (amount) of experience, the Offeror shall demonstrate a history of recent, relevant experience. A firm will not receive credit under this factor for the relevant experience of key personnel proposed for this project.

5.2.4 The Government will consider extent of recent experience, degree of relationship of such experience to the projects as described in 00 90 00 DESCRIPTION/SPECS/WORK STATEMENT, paragraph 1.1, demonstrated familiarity with applicable codes and local conditions. Some examples of relevancy to this project may include, but not be limited to:

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

b. Dates (well under way or completed no more than 5 years preceding date of this solicitation).

c. 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).

5.2.5 Previous design-build experience is not necessary for an acceptable rating. The Government may consider previous DB experience a strength. Similarly, the Government may consider previous recent teaming experience among the team members as value added. The more relevant the experience, the more credit will be given.

6.0 TAB C – FACTOR 2 – PAST PERFORMANCE

Offerors shall be evaluated on the construction projects presented in Factor 1 completed or substantially complete (at least 50% complete) in the last five (5) years. Projects submitted should reflect Design-Build and construction experience described in Section 00 90 00 DESCRIPTION/SPECS/WORK STATEMENT, paragraph 1.1. The Offeror’s past performance will be evaluated to determine technical capability to perform the proposed contract and how well it satisfied its customers. The information presented in the Offeror’s proposal, together with that from other sources available to the Government, will comprise the input for evaluation of this factor. The following elements will be evaluated:

Quality of Construction Timeliness of Performance Customer Satisfaction Subcontractor Management Documentation Safety Record

6.1 OFFEROR’S SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

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).

6.1.1 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) and sample transmittal letter (Attachment 3) included in the solicitation are 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.

6.1.2 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 shall 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 shown in Section 00 21 00 INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS and on the PPQ-0 form via email prior to proposal closing date. If you have questions regarding the attached questionnaire, or require assistance, please contact the Contract Specialist shown in Section 00 21 00 INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO

OFFERORS.

6.1.3 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.

6.1.4 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.

6.1.5 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.

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

6.1.7 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.

6.1.8 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.

6.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA

The Government will perform a performance confidence assessment of the Offeror’s probability of successfully meeting the contract requirements. The Government will evaluate the Offeror's responsiveness to the solicitation regarding past performance using the sources identified above. New companies and Joint Ventures shall be evaluated on their own past performance, or that of its predecessor as defined in FAR clause 52.204-20 Predecessor of Offeror, if relevant, to determine the company’s ability to perform satisfactorily under the elements of evaluation.

6.2.1 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 past performance relevancy ratings are described below:

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

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

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

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

6.2.2 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.

6.2.2.1 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.

6.2.2.2 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

6.2.2.3 Neutral Confidence: 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. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

6.2.2.4 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.

6.2.2.5 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 Each entity (firm) will be rated on its own performance or that of its predecessor as defined in FAR clause 52.204-20 Predecessor of Offeror, if relevant. 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”.

Offerors may be provided an opportunity to address any negative past performance information about which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. The Government will evaluate past performance based on the elements listed below:

• QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION. Based on all information available, the Government will assess the quality of the actual construction undertaken and the standards of workmanship exhibited by the Offeror.

• TIMELINESS OF PERFORMANCE.
