5.0 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 two of the total number of projects submitted for Factor 1 for consideration in response to the experience 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 (partnership, joint venture, prime/sub or mentor/protégé) and their role on this project. Past Performance information will not be considered without the teaming arrangements. This documentation shall be provided in Binder 1 of the Offeror's proposal.

5.1 FACTOR 1: PAST PERFORMANCE OF RELEVANT PROJECTS: Projects submitted must demonstrate past performance by the physical and successful completion of similar projects within six years of the original date of issuance of this RFP. The Offeror shall submit past performance information on at least three but not more than four completed similar projects. In the case of a joint venture teaming arrangement, each member of the joint venture entity must each submit at least one project under this factor. The information regarding the projects that is required to be supplied is identified on the form entitled “CONTRACTOR PAST EXPERIENCE” (Attachment A).

Similar projects shall demonstrate all of the following project types (either individually or in combination thereof):

- One Construction project valued at $40,000,000 or greater

- One renovation/repair project greater than $35,000,000 of similar size and scope

- One Design-Bid-Build (DBB) project greater than $35,000,000 of similar size and scope

- Construction projects that include back-up generators and switching capabilities for power supply

- Installation and commissioning of the central heating and cooling systems.

It is also highly desirable to provide a project that demonstrates the application of effective security measures during construction and following an approved Construction Security Plan (CSP).

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.

The Offeror shall provide the assigned performance evaluations for the submitted projects that demonstrate the Offeror’s performance on recent and relevant projects. 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 Past Performance Questionnaire included (Attachment B). 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).

If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, Renee McMillan-Cox via email at melissa.r.mcmillan-cox@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs.

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.

BINDER 2: Small Business Participation Plan

5.3 FACTOR 3: SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION PLAN (required for all Offerors): All Offerors (both large and small businesses) will be evaluated on the level of proposed participation of U.S. small businesses in the performance of acquisition (as small business prime Offerors or small business subcontractors) relative to the objectives and goals established herein. The government will evaluate:

a. The extent to which such firms, as defined in FAR Part 19, are specifically identified in proposals;

b. The extent of commitment to use such firms (and enforceable commitments will be considered more favorably than non-enforceable ones);

c. Identification of the complexity and variety of the work small firms are to perform;

d. The extent of participation of small business prime Offerors and small business subcontractors in terms of the percentage of the value of the total acquisition.

e. The extent to which the Offeror meets or exceeds the goals: The Government must be able to verify that each percentage is based on the value of the total acquisition (TAV) (not percentage of subcontracted dollars). Goals for this procurement are:

Small Business: {45%} of the total contract value;

Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB): {12%} of the total contract value;

Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB): {14%} of the total contract value;

Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) Small Business: {7%} of the total contract value; Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB): {10%} of the total contract value;

Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB): {7.5%} of the total contract value.

Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI) {0%}

(Note, for example, that a participation plan that reflects {14%} of the contract value for WOSB would also count towards the overall Small Business Goal; and percentages for SDVOSB also count towards VOSB).

Small Business Participation Proposal (Format)

All Offerors (both large and small businesses) are required to complete a Small Business Participation Proposal.

Offerors should propose the level of participation of small businesses (as a small business prime and/or small https://www.acquisition.gov/FAR/05-36/html/FARTOCP19.html business subcontractors) in the performance of the acquisition relative to the objectives/goals set forth in the evaluation of this area.

(a) Check the applicable size and categories for the PRIME Offeror only -- Check all applicable boxes:

{ } Large Prime { } Historically Black Colleges or Universities and Minority Institutions (HBCU) or { } Small Business Prime; also categorized as a

{ } Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) { } Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) { } Historically Underutilized Zone (HUB Zone) Small Business { } Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) { } Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)

(b) Submit the total combined percentage of work to be performed by both large and small businesses (include the percentage of work to be performed both by Prime and Subcontractors):

Example: If Prime proposes a price of $1,000,000 (including all options), and small business(es) will provide $250,000 in services/supplies as a prime or subcontractor, the % planned for small businesses is 25%; and 75% for large business equaling 100%.

Total Percentage planned for Large Business(es) _______% = $ _______

Total Percentage planned for Small Business(es) _______% = $ _______

100%

(c) Please indicate the total percentage of participation to be performed by each type of subcategory small business. The percentage of work performed by Small Businesses that qualify in multiple small business categories may be counted in each category:

Example: Victory Prop Mgt (WOSB and SDVOSB) performing 2%; and Williams Group (SDB, HubZone and WOSB) performing 3%. Results equate to: SDB 3%; HubZone 3%; WOSB 5%; SDVOSB 2%; VOSB 2%;). SDVOSBs are also VOSBs automatically; however VOSBs are not automatically SDVOSBs.

Small Disadvantaged Business _________% = $_______________ HUB Zone Small Business _________% = $_______________ Woman Owned Small Business _________% = $_______________ Service Disabled Veteran Owned SB _________% = $_______________ Veteran Owned Small Business _________% = $_______________

HBCU/MI _________% = $_______________

Detailed explanations must be provided when the percentages fall short of the participation goals listed within the RFP. The government does not recognize zero percent as a goal. However, if zero percent goals are submitted they must be supported with a detailed explanation and/or a mitigation plan to address how the Offeror will achieve participation where zero goals are cited. If the Offeror does not submit a detailed rationale/explanation, the zero percentage will be evaluated as a weakness. All percentages should use the value of the total acquisition as a baseline. The Government must be able to verify that each percentage is based on the value of the total acquisition.

(d) List principle supplies/services to be performed by Small Businesses:

Example: If a Small Business qualifies also as a WOSB and a SDVOSB, and you can add them to each category below in which they qualify.

Name of Company Identify Type of Service/Supply

Small Business (SB):

Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB):

Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB):

Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUB Zone):

Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB):

Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVO):

Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI):

(e) Describe the extent of commitment to use small businesses (for example, what types of commitments if any are in place for this specific acquisition either – small business prime, written contract, verbal, enforceable, non-enforceable, joint venturing, mentor-protégé, etc.) Provide documentation regarding enforceable commitments to utilize any Small Business category, as defined in FAR Part19, as subcontractors. Documentation validating business relationships described must be submitted. Demonstrating proof of enforceable commitments is to be weighted more heavily than non-enforceable ones.

Additional Important Note for Other Than U.S. Small Businesses ONLY.

Small Business Subcontracting Plan is Required (FAR 52.219-9).

Separate from Small Business Participation Plan, other than U.S. Small Business Offerors, must also submit a subcontracting plan meeting the requirements of FAR 52.219-9 and DFARS 252.219-7003 (or DFARS 252.219- 7004 if the Offeror has a comprehensive subcontracting plan). Other than U.S. Small Businesses must submit acceptable subcontracting plans to be eligible for award. Subcontracting Plans shall reflect and be consistent with the commitments offered in the Small Business Participation Plan.

BINDER 3: Price Proposal

5.4 FACTOR 4: PRICE: The offeror shall submit the price schedule for this factor.

6. EVALUATION CRITERIA

6.1 FACTOR 1: PAST PERFORMANCE: 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 project is, the more consideration 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’ past performance is so sparse, that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror must state that fact. That Offeror will be assigned an “unknown confidence rating” and its proposal will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

If a submitted project does - meet the minimum requirements identified above, that submitted project will not be considered for purposes of evaluation of FACTOR 1. In the situation where the minimum number of three projects is not met, the highest rating that may be assigned is ‘Limited Confidence’. For example, if a project was completed more than six years from the original date of RFP issuance, it will not be considered for purposes of evaluation of

FACTOR 1.
