The task orders will ranges in size and complexity from small to large and from non-complex to highly technical. Projects may be classified or unclassified. Funding may be either Military Constructions funding (MILCON) or Operations and Maintenance (O&M) funding. Occasionally, there may be other types of funding that could be utilized if authorized for constructions projects. All task orders will be firm fixed priced task orders. The period of performance for the contract will be five years. A Top Secret Facility Site Clearance is required for the awardee. The offeror successful in obtaining this contract award will be that offeror whose proposal represents the best value and is determined to provide the most benefit to the Government.

Further details regarding this project include the following. This contract is for a broad variety of major and minor repair, modification, rehabilitation, alterations and new construction projects in support of customers in the Intelligence Community, Department of Defense organizations and other agencies that are supported by the Real Property Services Field Office. Further projects may include demolition; geo-technical investigation: infrastructure;

interior fit-up; communications, security, and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), and anti-terrorism/force protection (AT/FP) requirements. Projects may be either Design-Build or Design-Bid-Build. The geographic area for this contract will be the Continental United States (CONUS). Work performed may be either in secure or non-secure sites.

The Contractor and RSFO will be required to respond rapidly to Government requirements with outstanding professionalism and top quality craftsmanship, without compromising safety standards, current mission requirements, and readiness. It is imperative that the Contractor provide a flexible and multi-disciplined work force.

Most of the work to be accomplished will be in areas where classified Top Secret operations are conducted. It is mandatory that the Contractor maintain a balanced work force of cleared Top Secret personnel to work in such areas. Also, it is mandatory that the prime contractor has and maintains an active Top Secret Facility Site Clearance for the prime contractor.

For Design-Build task orders, no separate task order will be issued for design. The coefficient for that task order will be applied to the overall project that will include the cost for the design.

1.3 The purpose of these instructions is to establish a uniform evaluation procedure for the proposals by the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) and the development of the Best Value Decision by the Source Selection Authority (SSA) using the Trade-Off Process (See Federal Acquisition Regulation 15.101-1). In as much as the proposal shall describe the capability of the Offeror to perform the resulting contract, the proposal shall be specific and complete in every detail as well as be prepared simply and economically, providing a straightforward and concise description of capabilities to satisfactorily perform the contract.

1.4 For the purposes of this solicitation, the Government will utilize a single phase process.

2. 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. A design firm or construction contractor may offer more than one proposal by entering into more than one association.

Associations may be joint ventures or include key team subcontractors. Any legally organized Offeror may submit a proposal.

2.2 Contractor Team Arrangements. Contractor Team Arrangements are considered an arrangement in which (1) two or more companies form a partnership or joint venture to act as a potential prime contractor; or (2) a potential prime contractor agrees with one or more other companies to have them act as its subcontractors under a specified Government contract or acquisition program. In accordance with FAR Subpart 9.6, the Government will recognize the integrity and validity of contractor team arrangements; provided, the arrangements are identified and company relationships are fully disclosed in the offer. The Offeror shall identify the major or critical aspects of the requirement to be performed by those identified in the Contractor Team Arrangement. The submission must contain a narrative that clearly explains the relevance to a particular factor of information concerning a company that is part of a Contractor Team Arrangement. The Government will consider the adequacy of this explanation in deciding the relevance of the information to this procurement.

2.3 If applicable, the Offeror shall submit evidence from the Offeror’s SBA Servicing Agency that the Offeror has notified and discussed the proposed joint venture for this project with the appropriate SBA personnel.

2.4 Information submitted about any company other than the Offeror, whether a predecessor company, affiliated company, subsidiary (including wholly owned subsidiaries), subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of this requirement, or other associated business, will not be evaluated for any factor unless the proposal contains a detailed narrative explaining why this submitted information is relevant to this acquisition. The Government will consider the adequacy of this explanation in deciding the relevance and weight of the information to this procurement. Information about subcontractors may not be given much weight unless the proposal contains evidence that the subcontractor is committed to perform the work. If information about a subcontractor is properly submitted and given weight during the evaluation, the expectation is that this subcontractor will perform this work.

Before utilizing another subcontractor for this work, the Government must consent.

2.5 SPECIAL NOTE: This contract requires the firm to possess, at the time of proposal and the time of award, an active Top Secret Facility Site Clearance. This requirement is mandatory for the exact entity submitting the proposal. This means that the entity identified in block 14 of the Standard Form 1442 must have the Top Secret Facility Site Clearance in that name along with the matching Cage Code. For example, if Company A and Company B form a Joint Venture called Company AB, then Company AB must have an active Top Secret Facility Site Clearance. Even if both Company A and Company B each individually posses the clearance, unless Company AB posses its own Top Secret Facility Site Clearance, the proposal will not be eligible for award.

2.6 It is the intent of the Government to disqualify any proposal that, at the time of receipt of proposal, does not possess an active Top Secret Facility Site Clearance immediately and not further evaluate it.

2.7 Offerors shall submit their proposal to the address shown in Block 7 of Standard Form 1442.

See paragraph 6 below for a discussion of the evaluation criteria applicable to these factors.

4.2 Technical Rating Definitions. The following rating definitions will be utilized in the evaluation of factors 1, 3 and 4. A Proposal Risk will be assigned using the same definitions. Proposal risks are those risks associated with the likelihood that an offeror's proposed approach will meet the requirements of the solicitation.

EXCELLENT: The proposal has exceptional merit and reflects an excellent approach which will clearly result in the superior attainment of all requirements and objectives. This clearly achievable approach includes numerous strengths, and essentially no weaknesses, which can be expected to result in outstanding performance. The proposal provides solutions which are unquestionably feasible and practical. These solutions are further considered to be exceptionally clear and precise, fully supported, and demonstrate a clear understanding of the requirements.

GOOD: The proposal demonstrates a sound approach which is expected to meet all requirements and objectives. This sound approach includes strengths, and few relatively minor weaknesses, which collectively can be expected to result in good performance. The proposal provides solutions which are considered feasible and practical. These solutions are further considered to be clear and precise, supported, and demonstrate an understanding of the requirements.

ACCEPTABLE: The proposal demonstrates a sound approach which is capable of meeting all requirements and objectives. The approach includes both strengths and weaknesses, where the strengths are not outweighed by the weaknesses. Collectively, the strengths and weaknesses are likely to result in acceptable performance. The proposal solutions are generally feasible and practical. These solutions are further considered to be somewhat clear and precise, partially supported, and demonstrate a general understanding of the requirements.

MARGINAL: The proposal demonstrates an approach which may not be capable of meeting all requirements and objectives. The approach has weaknesses of substance and strengths, which if they exist, are outweighed by the weaknesses. Collectively, the strengths and weaknesses are not likely to result in acceptable performance. The proposal contains solutions which may not be feasible and practical. These solutions are further considered to lack clarity and precision, are generally unsupported, and do not demonstrate a complete understanding of the requirements.

UNACCEPTABLE: The proposal demonstrates an approach which, based on a very high risk, will very likely not be capable of meeting all requirements and objectives. This approach has numerous weaknesses and strengths which, if they exist, are far outweighed by weaknesses. Collectively, the strengths and weaknesses will not result in acceptable performance. The proposal contains solutions which are not feasible and practical. The solutions are further considered to lack any clarity and precision, are unsupported, and do not demonstrate an understanding of the requirement.

4.3 Performance Risk Rating Definitions. Factors 2 and 5 will be evaluated using the following Performance Risk Levels:

VERY LOW – Essentially no doubt exists that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort based on their past performance

LOW - Little doubt exists that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort based on their performance record.

MODERATE - Some doubt exists that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort based on their performance record.

HIGH - Significant doubt exists that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort based on their performance record.

NEUTRAL – When an offeror is without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available.

The Offeror shall provide a description of the Offeror’s demonstrated small business achievements in all federally designated small business categories on up to five completed or substantially completed (75% of construction) projects during the past five years. For each project, offerors should provide a brief project description, dollar magnitude of the project, location, and the percentage of total work that was subcontracted to small businesses at a first tier and for all tiers, identifying specific SB categories used on each project.

For this submission, large businesses may submit information pertaining to their goals and actual accomplishments under approved Small Business Subcontracting Plans. Submissions of Individual Subcontracting Reports (ISRs) formerly known as SF 294s and Summary Subcontracting Reports (SSRs) are highly encouraged.

This participation plan will be an evaluation factor. A separate subcontracting plan meeting the requirements of FAR 19.7 shall be required by the apparently successful offeror. If the apparently successful offeror fails to negotiate a subcontracting plan acceptable to the contracting officer within the time limit prescribed by the contracting officer, the offeror will be ineligible for award.

5.6 FACTOR 6: PRICE: All offerors will fill in the bid schedule. The bid schedule is made up of the coefficients for the following breakdown of task orders. The Scope of Work, included in the solicitation, contains information as to what is included in the coefficient. This is located in paragraph 2.0 of Section 00010.

Sample Task: The sample task for this solicitation shall be priced utilizing RS Means and submitted in accordance with the proposal instructions as supplied in the sample task and as is required by the scope of work for this solicitation.

6. EVALUATION CRITERIA

6.1 FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE IN TASK ORDER CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS: Offerors must demonstrate sufficient experience in task order construction contracts as stated in paragraph 5.1. The Offeror will be rated on an adjectival basis. To achieve an “acceptable” the offer must submit information listed in paragraph

5.1 that demonstrates that the offeror is capable of meeting all requirements and objectives.

Extra consideration may be given for the following:

a. Experience with multiple task order type construction contracts in a concurrent period

b. High dollar and multiple task orders issued concurrently

c. Task order construction contracts with the Federal Government and/or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

6.2 FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE IN TASK ORDER CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS: Past performance will be rated in terms of how likely there is a performance risk to the Government; that is, low performance ratings will be taken as indicators of a high risk that the Offeror will successfully perform the work.

The more relevant a proposed project is the more weight it will be given. If an Offeror has no record of relevant past performance, or if information on the Offeror’s past performance is not available, the Offeror must state that fact. That Offeror will be rated as neutral.

6.3 FACTOR 3: WORK PLAN: For this factor, the Offeror will be rated on an adjectival basis. Offerors will receive one rating for this Factor. This rating considers all items in Factor 5.3. All items in 5.3 are evaluated equally.

The sample task will be evaluated in the context of the offeror’s ability to demonstrate how they will utilize RS Means method of proposing and executing work through task orders.

The Offeror shall meet the requirements of this factor if the section addresses all of the elements identified in paragraph 5.3. To achieve an “acceptable” the offer must submit information listed in paragraph 5.3 that demonstrates that the offeror is capable of meeting all requirements and objectives stated for each element.

Extra consideration may be given for the following:

a. Team Members who have experience the Federal Government and/or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

b. Key Members having TS and/or TS/SCI clearances in excess of the minimum required

6.4 FACTOR 4: SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION PLAN (required for all offerors): The Government will evaluate the Small Business Participation Plans provided. Those plans containing greater detail and specificity will be given greater credit than general statements and commitments.

6.5 FACTOR 5: PAST PEFORMANCE IN THE UTILIZATION OF SMALL BUSINESS (required only for large businesses): Small Businesses will receive a rating of Neutral. This neither counts for or against the offeror.

Past performance will be rated in terms of how likely there is a performance risk to the Government; that is, low performance ratings will be taken as indicators of a high risk that the Offeror will successfully meet the requirements of small business participation. If an Offeror has no record of relevant past performance, or if information on the Offeror’s past performance is not available, the Offeror must state that fact. That Offeror will be rated as neutral.

6.6 FACTOR 6: PRICE: Price Analysis: The process of examining and evaluating an offeror’s proposed price to determine if it is fair and reasonable will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15. The offeror’s proposed costs will also be evaluated for cost realism in accordance with FAR Part 15. Results of the cost realism analysis will be used in performance risk assessment. Price analysis and cost realism analysis may involve comparison with other prices; e.g., comparing an offeror’s proposed price with the proposed prices of competing offerors or with previously proposed prices for the same or similar items, comparing an offeror’s proposed price with the independent government estimate, and any of the other price analysis and cost realism analysis techniques specified in FAR Part 15. Price analysis and cost realism analysis will be performed on each proposed coefficient prior to aggregating the coefficients to one final coefficient for purposes of the tradeoff. Coefficient(s) determined to be unreasonable and/or unrealistic by the agency will negatively impact the offeror's chances of award.

The Government intends to utilize the following process to evaluate the price coefficients. The Government will take the offeror’s schedule of coefficients from Chart A and multiple them by the percentage estimated in Chart B.

These numbers will then be added together for one overall coefficient that makes up a weighted average of all sixteen coefficients. This weighted average will be used as a basis of analysis in performing price analysis. If awarded this contract, the proposed coefficients in Chart A will be the contractual coefficients and not the weighted average. Coefficients will also be analyzed for reasonableness to include offering balanced coefficients.

The following is an example of the analysis to reach the weighted average coefficient. Note: These coefficients are for demonstration only and are not an indication of the Government Estimate or existing rates on current contracts.

The Weighted Average (by adding together all blocks above) would be 1.1612.

The PEB will perform a cost realism analysis in accordance with FAR 15.404. The sample task pricing will be utilized for this process. That information will be utilized to develop a report that summarizes and compares the offeror’s proposed price information to the independent government estimate. The report will be briefed to the

SSEB.

7. EVALUATION PROCEDURE

7.1 The Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will conduct a review of the Evaluation Board evaluations of proposals against the solicitation requirements and the approved evaluation criteria to ensure an equitable, impartial, and comprehensive evaluation against the solicitation requirements. The fundamental responsibility of the SSEB is to provide the Source Selection Authority with information to make an informed and reasoned selection. The SSEB will therefore prepare a summary report containing adjectival assessments for each factor and their supporting rationale; brief the SSA; and prepare any necessary items for discussion.

7.2 Ratings on individual factors as well as the proposal risk, to include all supporting documentation, will be provided to the Source Selection Authority. The Source Selection Authority, independently exercising prudent business judgment and determine the offeror that proposed the best offer to the Government.

7.3 Discussions: Offerors are advised that it is the intent of the Government to make an award without discussions.

Therefore, proposals should be submitted on the most favorable terms that the Offeror can submit to the Government. However, the Government reserves the right to hold discussions if it determines that discussions are necessary. If discussions are necessary, a Competitive Range shall be established that includes the “most highly rated" proposals. The Government retains the discretion in limiting the competitive range to a number of proposals that will enable efficiency.

7.4 Exceptions to the contractual terms and conditions of the solicitation (e.g., standard terms and conditions) may result in a determination to reject a proposal.

7.5 The Government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals at any time prior to award.

7.6 The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer.

7.7 Failure to submit all the data in the format indicated in this section may be cause for determining a proposal incomplete and, therefore, not considered for evaluation, and for subsequent award.

8. BASIS OF AWARD

When combined all non-price factors are significantly more important than price. Of the non-price factors the following factors are in descending order of importance: Factor 1, Factor 2, Factor 3, Factor 4, Factor 5.

Trade-off Analysis: After all of the evaluations have been completed, the SSA will consider all factors to determine which Offeror represents the “best value” to the Government for this project.
