RFI Q&A AMENDMENT 01

RFI Questions/Answers

1. Q: On the Solicitation “Tab E: Performance and Payment Bonds will be issues per task order and may range from $5,000 to $103,000,000.” Can you tell me if you plan to issue a single Task Order in the amount of $103,000,000 or is the aggregate bonding requirement approximately $20,000,000 per year?

A: While bonding per task order is acceptable; the intent is for the selected firm to be able to bond up to the total contract amount of $103million is applicable. This requirement has been amended for Phase 1.

The offeror will only be required to provide a Bond Surety Letter.

2. Q: Does the Government’s estimate of 40 – 50 pages include resumes and past performance documentation?

A: No, the 40-50 pages is an estimate, not a limit.

3. Q: The second paragraph states that “...the prime contractor must have completed at least three of the total number of projects/contract submitted for Factor 1…” Please confirm that this is a carry-over from the draft, as it conflicts with the following paragraph 5.1 that states “At least two of the submitted contracts must document the prime contractor’s experience.”

A: Correction, should read: At least three of the submitted contracts must document the contractor proposed as prime for this contract, as prime on the contractor’s experience.” Amendment to the Solicitation will reflect this change.

4. Q: Please confirm that Key Personnel do not have to have TS clearances at the time of Phase 1 proposal submission.

A: Incorrect: Key Personnel are required to have TS clearances at the time of Phase 1 proposal submission.

5. Q: For Phase 2, will Key Personnel resumes be required for the Sample Project Narrative, and if so will Interim TS clearances be acceptable?

A: Key Personnel resumes are not required for the Sample Project Narrative; Interim TS clearances are not acceptable.

6. Q: For the Environmental Engineer, please define the types or categories of work and/or scopes of work required for this position.

A: SOWs may include but not be limited to: prepare, review, and update environmental investigation reports; design projects leading to environmental protection, such as water reclamation facilities, air pollution control systems, and operations that convert waste to energy; obtain, update, and maintain plans, permits, and standard operating procedures specific to waters of the US and Section 404 of the

Clean Water Act; provide technical support for environmental remediation projects and for legal actions;

monitor the progress of environmental improvement programs; inspect industrial and municipal facilities and programs to ensure compliance with environmental regulations; advise corporations and government agencies about procedures for cleaning up contaminated sites.

7. Q: Is a PE required for the Environmental Engineer?

A: Yes

8. Q: What types of professional certifications are required for the Environmental Engineer?

A: PE

9. Q: Can the Civil Engineer and the Environmental Engineer be the same person?

A: Yes; if resume reflects experience Environmental Engineering knowledge, skills, and abilities.

10. Q: Please clarify whether the Solicitation Contract Form is to be submitted as part of Phase 1 or Phase 2.

A: The Solicitation Contract Form is to be submitted as part of Phase 1.

11. Q: Based on the requirements of personnel security clearance, will the District amend these requirements to allow for firms who currently hold Secret level facility and personnel clearances (and would meet the requirements to be upgraded to TS with sponsorship), to propose on this solicitation; and that the District would sponsor such firms for upgrade to TS level if the firm would be a successful bidder for this solicitation?

A: No

12. Q: When will the Phase 1 down-selection be complete and also when the government intends to issue the Phase II solicitation to qualified bidders?

A: By the first week of December; this date may change.

13. Q: Will the prime firms be required to provide cultural resources impact assessments as part of this contract?

A: According to the Solicitation, cultural resources impact assessment is not a requirement, but this can be added as part of the Work Plan at the discretion of the offeror.

14. Q: Will the government provide a DD254 Form to the three firms selected for Phase 2?

A: Yes

15. Q: Are polygraphs required for key personnel?

A: Everyone applying for a TS Clearance to serve under Intelligence Community sites will most likely be required to have a polygraph.

16. Q: The RFP (section 00100, item 5, Submission Requirements) requires that the prime contractor must have completed at least three of the total number of projects/contract submitted for Factor 1.

However, item 5.1, Past Performance of Task Order Contracts, states that Offerors should provide information on a “minimum of two and maximum of three task order construction contracts” for Factor 1 and that the “remaining contract(s) may come from other members of the contractor team arrangement …” Taken together, these two requirements limit the total number of contracts featured in Factor 1 to only three, and all from the prime contractor. We respectfully request that the maximum number of contracts featured in Factor 1 be increased to 5, which would allow the 3 required from the prime contractor and 2 from the other members of the contractor team

A: This amendment changed the write up to indicate a minimum of three and maximum of five.

17. Q: In the RFP under, 5.1 Factor 1 - Past Performance of Task Order Contracts (page 27), under certain construction task order contracts, task orders are often issued for administrative services, site visits, and planning services for natural disasters that subsequently did not occur. As such, can the requirement for PPQs and formal client evaluations be clarified to state “PPQs and/or DD2626s can be submitted for individual task orders relevant to the RSFO requirements" to avoid PPQs on task orders issued for site visits and contingency events that had no executable or relevant scope?

A: The write up for this section has been amended..

18. Q: Please confirm that providing a PPQ for the base contract and any available DD2626 or other formal evaluation for task orders under the base contract meets the requirements of Section 5.1 Factor 1:

Past Performance of Task Order Contracts.

A: Yes, providing a PPQ, DD 2626, and other formal evaluation will meet the requirements as long as each evaluation is for separate projects. .

19. Q: What is the timetable of the Phase II process? When can industry expect the down select and issuance of Phase II, and a due date of Phase II responses?

A: The issuance of Phase II Solicitation is schedule for the first week of December with a due date of 28 December. This timetable is tentative and will be subject to change.

20. Q: Please clarify if the Overall Contract Manager position in Section 5.2.3 Key Personnel is meant to be a Program Manager type position overseeing overall program operations or if the position is intended to be more of a Contract Administrator for the SATOC.

A: Yes, this is meant to be Program Manager type position. The write up has been amended to Program Manager.

The following have been modified:

PROPOSAL INSTRUCTION

SECTION 00100

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS – PHASE 1

1. OVERVIEW.

1.1 This Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits for a single award task order contract (SATOC) for The Real Property Services Field Office (RSFO) of the Baltimore District Corps of Engineers. This will be an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Firm Fixed-Price Task Order Contract. The resultant contract will have a five year period of performance with a maximum dollar value of $103,000,000.00.

1.2 The award will be an IDIQ contract that will be funded per task order. Task orders may be either Design-Build or Design-Bid-Build. The individual projects will be a variety of construction types from mechanical and electrical to new construction. The task orders will range in size and complexity from small to large and from non-complex to non-technical. Projects may be classified or unclassified. Funding may be either Military Construction 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 task orders will be determined during the negotiations of the task orders, A Top Secret Facility Site Clearance (TSFSC) 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, modifications, renovations, rehabilitation, alterations, Design-Build, Design-Bid-Build and new construction projects in a Secure Environment that includes working in Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIF) 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 or any Corps of Engineers District. The work will consist of very technical electrical work to include but not limited to constructing or renovating server rooms, UPS, generators, redundant power, high volume office spaces, power whips and terminations, receptacles, panel breakers, grounding, under raised access floor, and technical mechanical work to include a variety of mechanical systems, server rooms, HVAC, SCADA and BMS tie-in. Further projects may include demolition; infrastructure; interior fit-up; communications, security, and counter terrorism (including weapons of mass destruction), and anti-terrorism/force protection (AT/FP) requirements. The prime contractor will be responsible for integrating, managing, and executing all aspects of the design, and construction ordered under this contract.

The geographic area for this contract is anticipated to be for services primarily located within the Washington/ Baltimore corridor, but may be used throughout the Continental United States (CONUS) and Hawaii. 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.

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 life of the contract.

For Design-Build task orders, no separate task order or pricing proposal 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 are 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 the Two Phase Process. In Phase 1 of the 2 Phase selection procedure, interested Offerors submit performance capability proposals for review and consideration by the Government.

1.5 The Government will evaluate the performance capability proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein and will select up to three of the highest rated Offerors to participate in Phase 2.

1.6 In Phase 2 of this process, the Government will evaluate technical approach to the sample project, a small business participation plan and price factors.

1.7 Only those Offerors who receive a written notification from the Procuring Contracting Officer that their firm has been selected to participate in Phase 2 of this solicitation are invited to submit a Phase 2 proposal. Those Offerors selected for Phase 2 will be provided the Phase 2 solicitation and submission requirements.

1.8 Offerors that are not selected to participate in Phase 2 will be notified and may request a pre-award or post-award debrief.

2. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Firms formally organized as design-build entities, design firms and/or 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. The teaming agreements shall be provided and submitted in Tab A of Binder 1. Failure to submit a valid teaming agreement shall render an offer technically unacceptable.

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 possesses 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 proposal, does not possess an active Top Secret Facility Site Clearance immediately and not further evaluate it. Any offeror not possessing an active Top Secret Facility Site Clearance at the time of award will be removed from consideration and not awarded the contract.

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

2.8 Proposals are due no later than the time and date specified in Block 13 of Standard Form 1442.

3. GENERAL PROPOSAL FORMAT:

5. PHASE I SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

For purposes of this RFP, an “Offeror” may include a group of two or more entities that have formed a “contractor team arrangement,” as that term is defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Section 9.601. In the case of entities that have formed a contractor team arrangement, the experience and performance history of any member of the team, whether or not gained while working with the other member(s) of the currently proposed contractor team arrangement, may be considered as a part of the evaluation of the Offeror’s proposal.

In the case of contractor team arrangements involving a prime contractor and subcontractor(s), where the prime contractor submits the proposal in response to this RFP, the prime contractor must have completed at least three of the total number of projects/contract submitted for Factor 1 for consideration in response to the past performance requirements of this RFP.

An Offeror that relies upon the performance history of a member or members of a proposed contractor team arrangement will be expected to maintain that arrangement during performance of any contract awarded to that Offeror under this RFP. As a part of their proposal, the Offeror must provide a contractor team agreement signed by all parties, identifying the legal name(s) of all entities and describing the nature of each entity’s relationship (teaming/partnering, joint venture, etc.) and its role on this project. Past Performance information will not be considered without the teaming arrangements. In the case of joint ventures, at least one project/contract shall be submitted from each member to demonstrate past experience and past performance. This documentation shall be provided in Binder 1 of the Offeror's proposal.

In Phase 1, Factors 1 and 2 are of equal importance to one another.

5.1 FACTOR 1: PAST PERFORMANCE OF TASK ORDER CONTRACTS:

The Offeror shall provide information that demonstrates the Offeror’s past performance with relevant projects. The Government is looking for both an overall performance evaluation on the basic contract as well as individual performance evaluations on the task orders. This should include both design-build and design-bid-build experiences. The Offeror should provide information on a minimum of three and a maximum of five construction contracts/projects that have had a performance period within the past six years (any task orders active within the last six years) from the date of the original issuance of this solicitation. At least three of the submitted contracts/projects must document the prime contractor’s experience. The remaining contract(s) may come from other members of the contractor team arrangement, as defined above. All experiences should be submitted from construction contracts and not Architecture-Engineer contracts.

Information shall include: the contract number, the contracting agency, contact information for each contract, overall capacity of the contract. Additionally, for each contract provide a matrix that includes: all task orders issued, the description of all projects, dollar value of the initial task order, dollar value of completed task order, period of performance of each task order (or date) and actual period of performance completion (or date). Offerors may use the form entitled “TASK ORDER BASE CONTRACTS” (Attachment A) if desired for the base contract.

Offerors may use the form entitled “TASK ORDER MATRIX” (Attachment B) if desired for the task order matrix.

These formats are highly encouraged.

Similar contracts may include those that include task orders issued for construction projects in a variety of sizes, a variety of construction disciplines, varying degrees of technical complexity and both design-bid-build type task orders as well as design-build task orders. 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.

Project should demonstrate a variety of construction types and methods to assist in evaluating the Offeror’s ability and approach to perform work, as described in the Statement of Work, including:

• Electrical systems repair, construction or replacement

• Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, and foundation systems repair, construction, or replacement

• Utility Infrastructure and Systems repair, construction or replacement

• Renovations, HVAC upgrades, Paving, Fencing.

• Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) features

• Fire protection, Sprinkler, and alarm systems repair, construction or replacement

• Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIF) with Electro Magnetic Radiation (EMR) shielding

• Supervisory Control and Data (SCADA) and Energy Management System (EMS)

• Security Systems

• Contracts priced with R.S. Means pricing or similar price book

The Offeror shall provide the performance evaluations for the submitted projects that demonstrate the Offeror’s performance on recent and relevant projects. PPQs and/or DD2626s can be submitted for projects/contracts relevant to the RSFO requirements. The Offeror shall provide formal performance evaluation if available. Formal performance evaluations are those similar to the Department of Defense Performance Evaluation (Construction) Form DD 2626. The Government’s preference is the formal evaluation. If the formal evaluation is included, a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) is NOT required or desired.

If a formal evaluation is unavailable, the Offeror shall obtain the information using the form entitled, “NAVFAC/ USACE Past Performance Questionnaire” included (Attachment C). 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 of Relevant Projects. 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, 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, Gregory Hodgson via email at gregory.hodgson@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. Offerors may use previously completed PPQs and do not need to have one completed specifically for this project but must include it as a hardcopy.

Offerors may include performance recognition documents received within the last six years such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

In addition to the above, 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), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), 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 known sources not provided by the Offeror.

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 may also describe alternative pricing methods in IDIQ type construction contracts. The purpose of this inclusion is to give the Government information on the Offerors' familiarity with Means (or similar) based pricing for assurance that the Offeror understands how to properly propose pre-priced and non-pre-priced line items.

6. EVALUATION CRITERIA

6.1 FACTOR 1: PAST PERFORMANCE OF TASK ORDER CONTRACTS: Past performance will be rated in terms of how likely there is a performance risk to the Government; that is, high confidence performance ratings will be taken as indicators of a low risk that the Offeror will successfully perform the work. The more relevant a proposed contract is, the more weight it will be given in the overall confidence assessment rating. 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 may be rated as Unknown Confidence/ Neutral. As stated in FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

6.2 FACTOR 2: WORK PLAN: The Offeror will be rated on an adjectival basis. To achieve an “acceptable” the Offeror will submit the information listed in paragraph 5.2 that demonstrates a sound approach capable of meeting all requirements and objectives.

7. PHASE 1 EVALUATION PROCEDURE

7.1 Source Selection Evaluation Board: The Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will review all prepared reports. The SSEB will conduct a review of the Technical Evaluation Boards (TEB) 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 SSEB does not compare proposals against each other. 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. A Source Selection Advisory Committee will be briefed prior to the SSA being briefed and may provide a comparative analysis to the SSA as well as any necessary items for discussion.

7.2 Ratings on individual factors, to include all supporting documentation, will be provided to the Source Selection Authority. The Source Selection Authority, independently exercising prudent business judgment, will determine which Offerors will participate in Phase 2 of the solicitation.

7.3 Discussions: Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details in their Phase 1 proposals, in a concise manner, to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of Phase 1 proposals. Offerors should not assume that they will have an opportunity to clarify or correct anything in their proposal after submitting it in response to Phase 1 -the Government may evaluate Phase 1 proposals as submitted, without further exchanges. However, the Government reserves the right to talk with Offerors during Phase 1 and to request Phase 1 proposal revisions, if determined to be necessary and in the best interests of the Government by the Contracting Officer.

7.4 Miscellaneous: The Government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals at any time prior to award, to negotiate with Offerors in a competitive range, if one is established, and to award a contract to the Offeror with the most advantageous proposal to the Government.

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

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. 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.

7.8 The Basis of Selection of the Most Highly Rated Offerors are: Factor 1 and 2 are of equal importance.

7.9 The maximum number of Offerors chosen during Phase 1 shall not exceed three.

7.10 The SSA may select up to three Offerors to advance to Phase 2. Phase 2 will be issued via Amendment to the Offeror’s selected to advance to Phase 2.

8. BASIS OF PHASE 2 AWARD

PHASE 2

Non-Price Factors

Factor 1 Past Performance of Task Order Contracts (Advanced from Phase 1)

Factor 2 Work Plan (Advanced from Phase 1)

Factor 3 Sample Project Narrative

Factor 4 Small Business Participation Plan

Price Factors

Factor 5 Price: Sample Project Price Schedule and Coefficient Schedule

When combined all non-price factors are approximately equal to price.

The order of importance for the non-price factors are as follows: Factor 1, Factor 2, Factor 3 and Factor 4. This means that Factor 1 is the most important factor and

Factor 4 is the least important factor.

Trade-Off Analysis: After all of the evaluations have been completed, the SSA will consider all factors to determine which offeror submitted the proposal that represents the "best value" to the Government for this project
