PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 OVERVIEW.

1.1 This Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits for the repair of the INSCOM Building K on Fort Meade, Maryland.

1.2 The award will be a single Firm Fixed-Price Design-Bid-Build contract. This project includes extensive renovation and repairs to a 96,496 gross square foot general Administrative facility that was damaged by fire and is in a failed condition. The building has three (3) stories with a basement and attic. The three (3) stories above grade total 72,441 gross square feet. The basement is 24,052 gross square feet. This project will upgrade the building systems and allow for the introduction of new code compliant interior space with adequate handicap access, life safety, and reliability of systems. Utility systems capacity and reliability will be designed to support mission critical loads to mandated standards commensurate with the facility mission criticality review. Information assurance requirements will be incorporated into the design. This project includes: demolitions and replacement of the HVAC and electrical systems, emergency switchboard, uninterruptable power supply (UPS), automatic transfer switches (ATS), a generator yard, communications, renovate and repair the administrative offices to include storage space, restrooms, training areas, etc., install light fixtures with code compliant units, replace flooring, installation of a code compliant fire alarm and suppression system, installation of a passenger elevator and demolition of existing ramps and walkways to upgrade to American Disabilities ACT (ADA) entrance ramp; replace and repair of the conduit distribution throughout the facility. There may be minimal asbestos, lead paint and bio-hazards remediation. This project requires a back-up Bi-Fuel Emergency generator that can meet all of its requirements. The renovated facility will need to meet minimum DOD Antiterrorism standards. There will be a conversion of the existing space adding secured space. Also, within this project will involve the installation of one new Fire Alarm control Panel with fire alarm devices. This piece of equipment is required to control the sequence of operations of the fire alarm devices and provide a display of the inputs and outputs. The devices such as visual notification appliances (strobes), audible notification appliances (speakers), initiating devices (e.g. manual pull stations, smoke detectors, duct smoke detectors, and monitor modules), and control devices (e.g. control modules) will be required for this project. These devices must all be compatible with the fire alarm control panel (FACP) provided by the same manufacturer in order to send and receive addressable signals to/from the FACP.

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.

2.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Firms formally organized as a Design-Bid-Build (DBB) team that have been associated specifically for this project, consortia of firms, or any other interested parties may submit proposals. A firm 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.

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

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

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). 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, 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. 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.

5.2 FACTOR 2: PROJECT MANAGEMENT/RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN. To facilitate evaluation, the Offeror shall organize the submitted material sequentially under tabs. Submit this information in the form of narratives and an organization chart.

5.2.1 Project Narrative. The Offeror must submit a detailed narrative on their technical approach, sequence of work;

site utilization and other management aspects of the project in order ensure an on time completion of the project.

Include a discussion on the potential high-risk features of the work that may adversely impact the completion date and the Offerors plan to mitigate these risks.

5.2.2 Project Team Organization: The Offeror shall provide a narrative on how their project team will be structured for this project. They shall describe the principal firms involved and their responsibilities and relationships to each other. At a minimum, the following key personnel shall be identified: Project Manager, Full-time On-site Site Safety Health Officer (SSHO), Quality Control Manager (USACE QCM trained), On-site Superintendent(s), Scheduler (or Project Engineer) and the LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP). All disciplines shall be led by an experienced professional registered in the discipline (if a professional registration is available). Resumes with professional credentials shall be provided. Discuss in detail the team roles and responsibilities, how the teams will interact and communicate, the organizational structure, etc. Submit an “Availability of Key Personnel” statement that indicates each individual’s current assignment and the Offeror’s plan to ensure that the named personnel will be used on this project; however, if the named person isn’t available upon award, a person with the same or better qualifications shall be substituted and approved by the Government. Identify the portion the Offeror intends to self perform and the items customarily subcontracted.

The Offeror will submit an organization chart identifying the proposed team that will execute this project. The proposed organizational chart shall identify the members or entities of the organization and show the lines of authority and communication of all members of the design and construction entities. This chart should clearly indicate who the ultimate decision maker is for the proposed team.

This organization chart should include the Offeror’s key personnel, and key subcontractors, testing firms, quality control and commissioning agents. The organizational chart shall show the relationship of each entity to the Offeror.

The Key Personnel Resumes shall also include the following:

1. Personnel’s Title on this project

2. Number of years with this firm and with other firms

3. Number of years in this position or role

4. Specialization

5. Professional Registration (Type and State Registration)

6. Personnel’s specific experience and qualifications relevant to this project

5.2.3 Quality Management Control System: The Offeror shall describe how they intend to manage quality throughout the contract. Discuss quality management methods proposed throughout the design and construction process. Discuss how you will implement the USACE three phase quality control program.

5.2.4 Safety: The Offeror shall discuss how they intend to manage and execute their Safety program for the contract. Discuss how your program implements and/or adheres to EM 385-1-1. Provide your company’s EMR Rate and DART rates for projects submitted in Factor 1, if available.

5.2.5 LEED Silver Certifiable: The Offeror shall describe how they intend to maintain documentation to meet the LEED Silver Certifiable requirement throughout the contract. Discuss management and quality methods for maintaining the LEED Documentation Notebook throughout the construction process.

5.2.6 Schedule: The Offeror shall provide a detailed schedule(s) showing how the work will be performed in order to meet the definition of substantial completion for the deliverables and the maximum number of days described in FAR clause 52.211-10. The Offeror shall submit a preliminary schedule for construction and a narrative report.

Schedules or diagrams may be provided separately in a size that is easily read, but shall be bound and clearly labeled as Addendum to Binder 1. The schedules shall be task oriented, indicating the number of calendar days, after notice to proceed, by which deliverables are to be achieved. Assume 30 November 2016, notice to proceed date.

The Offeror shall use a critical path method in either the Precedence Diagram Method (PDM) or the Arrow Diagram Method (ADM); however, schedules shall be graphically represented. The schedule should show adequate detail, logic and sequences to demonstrate Offeror can meet required completion date.

The Offeror must describe how it will schedule this project to include how to start the project; include discussions on important early activities, such as pre-work submittals, site organization, structural steel delivery, etc. The Offeror must describe and discuss its plan to sequence and manage key activities such as site work, building construction, and/or other key features.

The Offeror must discuss its scheduling capabilities and procedures to be used for this project, which must include schedule updates, incorporating modifications into the schedule, and other steps to be taken to maintain the completion date. The Offeror also must include a discussion of the potential high-risk features of the work that may adversely impact the completion date and the Offeror’s plan to mitigate those high-risk features. The Offeror must describe how it will schedule this project to meet the periods of performance.

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 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 Offeror shall articulate within their SBPP how they intend to meet the small business objectives. Do not submit a hybrid of a SBPP and a subcontracting plan as the two are different and are not the same. Nothing precludes an Offeror from further demonstrating their extent of commitment to use small businesses beyond what has been required by the subject RFP. Offerors are encouraged to submit proof of receipt of awards, accolades, etc., for their current or past business relationships and to discuss/validate any specific outreach efforts performed in support of this requirement.

Offeror’s proposals must meet the minimum mandatory Total Small Business Participation goal of 45% of total contract value (through collective small business participation from any type of small business or sub-category small business). The Offeror shall articulate how small businesses will participate through performance as a small business Prime Offeror and/or ‘first tier’ small business subcontracting only. Second and third tier small business subcontractors will not be considered towards the Total Small Business Participation percentage in this factor. The SBEB will not look to obtain information to support the SBPP within the Subcontracting Plan or from other binders/volumes. All evaluation boards and associated volumes are independent of each other. Do not submit a hybrid of a SBPP and a subcontracting plan as the two are different and are not the same. 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 (enforceable commitments will be considered more favorably than non-enforceable ones). Provide documentation regarding enforceable commitments e.g. mentor protégés, joint ventures, subcontracting or partnership letters of commitment(s), etc., to utilize any Small Business category, as defined in FAR Part 19, as subcontractors. Documentation validating business relationships described must be submitted. In order to get credit for enforceable commitments, they must be with a Small Business, be specific to the subject requirement; include acknowledgment via signatures/signature blocks from both parties (duly authorized), must also include the type of small business and the services/supplies to be provided. The SBEB must be able to verify enforceable commitment;

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 ‘first tier’ small business subcontractors in terms of the percentage (%) of the value of the total acquisition (not the percentage of subcontracted dollars). Do not round up.

e. The extent to which the Offeror meets or exceeds the goals. These goals are a percentage (%) of the value of the total acquisition (not the percentage of subcontracted dollars). Do not round up. The 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 & Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI)*: {1%} of the total contract value

*NOTE: The HBCU/MI goal is an aspirational goal; however, provide an explanation if an offeror is unable to meet the aspirational goal.

The Government does not recognize a proposed 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. In addition, if the Offeror is unable to meet the full RFP participation goals for any of the socioeconomic categories (e.g.

HUBZone, WOSB, etc.), the Offeror must provide an explanation as to why the goal(s) cannot be met.

Not doing so may result in 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 for each socioeconomic category is based on the value of the total acquisition.

Note: Those plans containing greater detail and specificity will be given greater credit than general statements and commitments. Those plans containing binding commitments will be given greater credit than non-binding arrangements.

f. Utilization of Small Business: Extent of small business subcontracting compliance/business relations – e.g. record of complying with requirements of Clauses FAR 52.219-8 and FAR 52.219-9. All Offerors shall submit information substantiating the Offerors’ past performance in complying with FAR 52.219-8, “Utilization of Small Business,” maximizing opportunities for U.S. small business subcontractors. For each project submitted, include the corresponding most recent Individual Subcontracting Report(s) (ISR), covering the period of performance for the submitted project. Offerors shall also provide a statement indicating whether any negative information has been reported in the past six years concerning the Offerors’ past compliance with FAR 52.219-8. If any such negative information has been reported, the Offeror may submit explanations or comments responding to such negative information. Submit a minimum of 3, but not more than 5 ISRs and include a brief description of each project to support ISRs.

Ensure that ISRs are of similar size, scope and complexity. Customer letters of commendation for use/support of small businesses and Small Business Administration Compliance Reviews will also be accepted. Offerors with no prior contracts containing FAR 52.219-8 shall certify the same; however, they may provide alternate documentation from customers; local, state or federal agencies that demonstrates use/support of small businesses.

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), eSRS, etc

Small Business Participation Proposal (Format)

All Offerors (both large and small businesses) are required to complete a Small Business Participation Proposal (SBPP). Offerors should propose the level of participation of small businesses (as a small business prime and/or ‘first tier’ small business subcontractors) in the performance of the acquisition relative to the objectives/goals set forth in the evaluation of this area. Second and third tier small business subcontractors will not be considered towards the Total Small Business Participation percentage in this factor. The Small Business Participation Plan (SBPP) shall not reference the Subcontracting Plan or any other volume for information. All information must pertain specifically to the SBPP and be located within that volume.

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

D Large Prime D Historically Black Colleges or Universities and Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI) Or D Small Business Prime; also categorized as a

D Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) D Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) D Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) Small Business

D Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) D 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/dollar value to be performed by the offeror; large and small business subcontractors because the total acquisition value includes self-performance as well.

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) ______% = $ __________

When combined, large and small business totals must equal 100%. Therefore, the offeror’s participation must 100% = $ ___________ also be represented within one of the categories listed above.

(c) Please indicate the total percentage of participation to be performed by each type of subcategory small business. Each small business socioeconomic category must be based on the value of the total acquisition (not the percentage of subcontracted dollars). 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, HubZ 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. A participation reflecting 5% of the contract value for WOSB would also count towards the overall Small Business Goal; and percentages for SDVOSB also count towards VOSB, etc.

Small Businesses Participation Percentage (%) of Total Acquisition Value

Dollar Amount

Small Business % = $

Small Disadvantaged Business % = $

Woman-Owned Small Business % = $

HUBZone Small Business % = $

Veteran-Owned Small Business % = $

Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business % = $

HBCU/MI % = $

The Government does not recognize a proposed 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. If the Offeror is unable to meet the full RFP participation goals for any of the remaining socioeconomic categories (e.g. HUBZone, WOSB, etc.), the Offeror must provide an explanation as to why the goal(s) cannot be met. All percentages should use the value of the total acquisition as a baseline. The Government must be able to verify that each percentage for each socioeconomic category is based on the value of the total acquisition.

(d) List principle supplies/services to be performed by each Small Businesses category. Not providing a supplies/services for each category will result in a weakness.

Note: 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. Offerors are not limited to the space provided below.

Name of Company Identify Type of Service/Supply (Mandatory Inclusion)

Small Business (SB):

Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB):

Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB):

Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone):

Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB):

Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business

(SDVOSB)

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 ventures, mentor-protégé, etc.,). Provide documentation regarding enforceable commitments to utilize any Small Business category, as defined in FAR Part19, as ‘first tier’ subcontractors.

Documentation validating business relationships described must be submitted. In order to get credit for enforceable commitments, they must be with a Small Business, be specific t o the subject requirement; include acknowledgment via signatures/signature blocks from both parties (duly authorized), must also include the type of small business and the services/supplies to be provided. The SBEB must be able to verify enforceable commitments

(f) Utilization of Small Business: Extent of small business subcontracting compliance/business relations –e.g. record of complying with requirements of Clauses FAR 52.219-8 and FAR 52.219-9. All Offerors shall submit information substantiating the Offerors’ past performance in complying with FAR 52.219-8, “Utilization of Small Business,” maximizing opportunities for U.S. small business subcontractors. For each project submitted, include the corresponding most recent Individual Subcontracting Report(s) (ISR), covering the period of performance for the submitted project. Offerors shall also provide a statement indicating whether any negative information has been reported in the past six years concerning the Offerors’ past compliance with FAR 52.219-8. If any such negative information has been reported, the Offeror may submit explanations or comments responding to such negative information. Submit a minimum of 3, but not more than 5 ISRs and include a brief description of each project to support ISRs. Ensure that ISRs are of similar in size, scope and complexity. Customer letters of commendation for use/support of small businesses and Small Business Administration Compliance Reviews will also be accepted. Offerors with no prior contracts containing FAR 52.219-8 shall certify the same; however, they may provide alternate documentation from customers; local, state or federal agencies that demonstrates use/support of small businesses.

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

Small Business Subcontracting Plan is required (IAW FAR 52.219-9) under a separate tab (E).

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, AFARS Appendix DD and DFARS 252.219- 7003 (or DFARS 252.219-7004 if the offeror has a comprehensive subcontracting plan). Other than U.S. Small B u s i n e s s e s 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. The dollars proposed in the Small Business Participation Plan should be consistent and mirror the dollars proposed in the Subcontracting Plan. The Subcontracting Plan must state the total dollars planned to be subcontracted IAW AFARS Appendix DD-301(3)/FAR 19.704(a)(2) and should use the dollars proposed in the Small Business Participation Plan to develop subcontracting goals. Note: The subcontracting goal percentages may be equal or higher and will ultimately differ from Small Business Participation Plan goals.

Example: The total acquisition value is $100,000,000 and the minimum SBPP goal is 20%. If a firm proposed the minimum SBPP goal, the SBPP will be $20,000,000 and the dollars under the subcontracting plan "have to be" $20,000,000. The associated subcontract percentage could be anything and is based on the planned subcontracting dollars to both small and large businesses. If the firm plans on subcontracting out the entire project, the SBPP and Subcontracting Plan percentage would be 20%. However, if the firm was going to subcontract out $60,000,000 and had a SBPP goal of 20% ($20,000,000), the planned subcontracting percent goal for small business would be

33.33%.

Although submission of a subcontracting plan is required to be submitted, subcontracting plans will only be evaluated for the Offeror(s) deemed to be apparently successful offerors prior to award. Subcontracting Plans shall reflect and be consistent with the commitments to include, but not limited to dollars and proposed use of specific subcontractors offered in the Small Business Participation Plan. Not submitting a subcontracting plan will be considered a deficiency. The SBEB will not look to obtain information to support the SBPP within the Subcontracting Plan or from other binders/volumes. Do not submit a hybrid of a SBPP and a subcontracting plan as the two are different and are not the same.

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.

6.2 FACTOR 2: PROJECT MANAGEMENT/RISK MANAGEMENT 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

5.2. All items in 5.2 are evaluated equally.

The Offeror shall meet the requirements of this factor if the section adequately addresses all of the elements identified in paragraph 5.2. To achieve an “acceptable” the offer must submit information listed in paragraph 5.2 that demonstrates that the Offeror is capable of meeting all requirements and objectives stated for each element.

6.3 FACTOR 3: 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.

6.4 FACTOR 4: PRICE: Price Analysis: The process of examining and evaluating an Offeror’s proposed price to determine if it is fair and reasonable without evaluating its separate cost elements and proposed profit/fee will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15. Price 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.
