(v) Education degree(s), year, specialization, if applicable

(vi) Active professional registration, year first registered, if applicable

(vii) Other experience and qualifications relevant to same/similar work required under this contract

PAST PERFORMANCE: For the projects listed under Factor 1 – Relevant Specialized Experience, the Government will review the experience forms submitted as well as 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. Firms without a history of past performance will be neutral rating.

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 2 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

1. 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 Contract Specialist identified in Part A, Paragraph 1 of Section 00 21 00, Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to offerors via email 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.

The information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the offeror’s past performance. 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 notify the KO in writing, prior to the date and time established for the RFP closing, that they have had no previous clients and 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 shall be provided to the Contract Specialist directly from the reference. 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.

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

PART II – EVALUATION OF OFFEROR PROPOSALS

2. SOURCE SELECTION USING THE LOWEST-PRICE, TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE PROCESS.

An evaluation for acceptability will be performed on the low price proposal in accordance with FAR 15.101-2(b)(3).

The proposal that provides the lowest price for the base proposal combined with all options and is otherwise technically acceptable, no technical factor in the proposal may be determined to be “Unacceptable”. The failure of a proposal to meet any of the factors will result in a technically “Unacceptable” rating and preclude award.

2.1 BASIS OF AWARD. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors of the base proposal. Tradeoffs are not permitted.

Proposals are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using non-cost/price factors.

2.2 EVALUATION OF THE PRICE PROPOSALS

a. Price will be evaluated and considered but will not be scored or combined with other aspects of the proposal evaluation. The proposed prices will be analyzed for reasonableness. They may also be analyzed to determine whether they are realistic for the work to be performed, reflect a clear understanding of the requirements, and are consistent with the information provided by the offeror. Additionally, all offers will be analyzed for unbalanced pricing in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g) and may be rejected if it is determined that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

b. The otherwise technically-acceptable, lowest-priced offeror may be required to confirm its price on either a

CLIN, element, or total price basis, and/or provide additional information in support of their price, prior to contract award at the Government’s request and discretion.

2.3 EVALUATION OF THE TECHNICAL PROPOSAL. Each Technical Proposal will be evaluated based on the following evaluation criteria:

a. FACTOR 1: RELEVANT SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: The Government will review the experience of the contractor on projects and key personnel provided in response to Factor 1. Offerors must meet all of the following minimum acceptability standards to receive an “ACCEPTABLE” on this factor:

(1) The prime must have at least three (3) projects that are the same/similar to that of the work found in this solicitation; AND

(2) At least one (1) of the project references submitted for the prime contractor must be valued at over

$1,000,000. All projects submitted must have been at least 50% complete within the last 5 years; AND

(3) Each of the following required specialized experience areas must be demonstrated in at least one example project: diver investigation, inspection, and construction activities; underwater drilling and installation of steel reinforcement dowels; and underwater marine concrete placement by the tremie method.

Failure to demonstrate the minimally acceptability standards under this factor will result in an “Unacceptable” rating and possible elimination from further consideration for contract award.

b. FACTOR 2: KEY PERSONNEL: The Government will review the resumes provided in response to Factor

2. Offerors must demonstrate all of the following minimum acceptability standards to receive and “Acceptable” on this factor. The offeror must demonstrate in all resumes that he key personnel proposed have:

(1) A minimum experience as required by the specified sections cited in the submission requirements. If none is specified, all personnel shall have a minimum of 5 years specialized experience in their field; AND

(2) Experience on projects same/similar to the work in this solicitation working in the position they are assigned to under this contract.

Failure to demonstrate the minimally acceptable standards under this factor will result in an “Unacceptable” rating and possible elimination from further consideration for contract award.

PAST PERFORMANCE: The Government will review the experience forms submitted as well as all CPARS, ACASS, CCASS evaluations regardless of project and past performance questionnaires for projects submitted under Factor 1. The Government may contact points of contacts listed on the “Experience Information” forms submitted under Factor 1. Offerors must demonstrate the following minimum acceptability standards:

Any identified element or overall rating that is LESS than SATISFACTORY for past performance for any project submitted under Factor 1, shall result in an 'UNACCEPTABLE' rating and possible elimination from further consideration for contract award.

The Government places a higher value on performance, which documents successful outcomes and is supported by outside source confirmation, for example, but not limited to CCASS/ACASS or other agency performance databases or personal knowledge. The Government’s evaluation is not limited to past performance information on the cited example projects.

Each entity (firm) will be rated on its own performance or that of its predecessor, if relevant. An entity many not establish past performance based on the past performance of proposed key personnel, apart from that of the entity. If the Government does not obtain past performance information and cannot establish a past performance record for the firm through other sources, past performance will be rated neither favorably nor unfavorably. The performance risk will be considered “unknown”.

3. GENERAL TECHNICAL CRITERIA

a. Material omission(s) may cause the technical proposal to be rejected as “Unacceptable”.

b. Proposals which are generic, vague, or lacking in detail may be considered “Unacceptable”. The offeror’s failure to include information that the Government has indicated should be included may result in the proposal being found deficient if inadequate detail is provided.

c. The Government cannot make award based on a deficient offer. Therefore, receipt of an “Unacceptable” determination of acceptability for any factor will make the offer ineligible for award, unless the Government elects to enter into discussions with that offeror and all deficiencies are remedied in a revised proposal. Note: It is the Government’s intent to award without discussions.

d. If awarded the contract, the Contractor shall construct the project in accordance with the plans and specifications issued with this RFP.

e. In Accordance with clause 252.204-7019, Notice of NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Requirements, offerors are required to have a NIST score. Any offer received without a NIST score will be rendered “Unacceptable”.
