Relevancy ratings will be used by the Government in assessing the relevancy of the submitted projects to allow assessment of the overall confidence rating.

RATING DESCRIPTION

Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Based on the quality of the relevant efforts gathered, a single consensus performance confidence rating will be assessed.

RATING DESCRIPTION

5. PHASE I SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Binder 2: Technical Proposal

5.1 FACTOR 1: PAST PERFORMANCE OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS: Projects submitted must demonstrate past performance by the physical and substantial completion of similar projects within six years of the original date of issuance of this RFP. The Offeror shall submit past performance information on a minimum of three completed similar projects but not more than five. At least three of the submitted projects must document the prime contractor’s past performance. If the Offeror is a joint venture, each team member must provide at least two projects.

The information regarding the projects that is required to be supplied is identified on the form entitled “CONTRACTOR PAST EXPERIENCE” (Attachment A).

Similar contracts may include construction projects in a variety of sizes, a variety of construction disciplines, varying degrees of technical complexity and both DB and DBB projects. 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. Projects can be either new construction or renovation/repair.

Similar projects should demonstrate as many of the following project types (either individually or in combination thereof) as possible:

Projects in excess of $5M Design Build Construction Projects;

Design Bid Build Construction Projects;

Renovation/Repair Construction Projects;

performance on recent and relevant projects. The Offeror shall provide formal performance evaluation if available.

Formal performance evaluations are those similar to the new Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or the former 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 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 Construction 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, Ashley Wingfield via email at Ashley.Wingfield@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.

5.2 FACTOR 2: MANAGEMENT APPROACH: Organize the submitted material sequentially under Tab G, to facilitate evaluation. Submit this information in the form of narratives and an organization chart.

5.2.1 Management: Describe in narrative form how your company will manage multiple, concurrent task orders issued under the contract. Specifically, the proposal shall describe the overall corporate structure and how project teams are organized to support multiple and concurrent task orders, and the respective levels of authority. The narrative shall include a description of how your company will support the geographic boundaries of the SATOC.

Also, include why your team is uniquely qualified to undertake this contract, its approach to construction and working with the customer(s) during construction. The Offeror shall also describe, in detail, its approach to Design Build projects.

Identify key positions that will be assigned to the overall management of an awarded contract. Discuss the role and responsibility of key positions.

The proposal shall identify how the overall communication will be managed with the Government. In addition, describe any communication strategies that have been successfully employed by your firm and the benefits recognized by the Government and key stakeholders. Describe how the project teams, for multiple task orders, will communicate with each other to achieve results.

5.2.2 Overall Quality Management Control System: The Offeror shall describe how they intend to manage quality throughout the contract and per task order. Discuss quality management methods proposed in both DB and DBB project throughout the design and construction process.

5.2.3 Scheduling: The Offeror must discuss its scheduling capabilities and procedures to be used for this contract and per task order. This should schedule updates, incorporating modifications into the schedule, and other steps to be taken to maintain the individual task order schedules.

5.3 FACTOR 3: ARCHITECT-ENGINEER TEAM: This SATOC may issue both Design Build (DB) task orders as well as Design Bid Build construction task orders. DB task orders may include any type of projects described in paragraph 5.1. In order to assess the team’s ability to handle a variety of DB task orders, Offerors may submit up to three Architect-Engineer (AE) firms as team members and their relative experience with DB projects. Projects should demonstrate the AE’s Designer of Record (DOR) experience. Firms submitted under this factor shall include firms that the Offeror intends to use throughout the life of the contract. Offerors shall submit a teaming agreement with the selected AE firm(s). Offerors may present up to three AE firms. If information about any team member AE is properly submitted, the expectation is that this AE will perform work. Before utilizing another AE, the Government must consent.

The Offeror may submit up to three projects from each AE firm presented. Projects should demonstrate the AE firm’s experience on design only and/or DB projects. For ongoing projects, 100% of the design and at least 75% of the major construction milestones must be completed at the time of proposal submission. For design only projects, 100% of design must be complete. All projects must have been completed within six years prior to the date of this

RFP.

Relevant projects for Restricted Offerors include DB projects with a minimum completion value of $5M or design only projects with a minimum value of $50K. The information regarding the projects that is required to be supplied is identified on the form entitled “ARCHITECT-ENGINEER PROJECTS” (Attachment F).

The Offeror shall provide the 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 new Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or the former 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 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 Construction 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, Ashley Wingfield via email at Ashley.Wingfield@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.

6. PHASE I EVALUATION CRITERIA

6.1 FACTOR 1: PAST PERFORMANCE OF CONSTRUCTION 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 project 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 will be rated as Unknown Confidence/Neutral.

Offerors may receive higher ratings if they can show successful past performance with multiple customers, multiple types of projects and both DB and DBB projects.

6.2 FACTOR 2: MANAGEMENT APPROACH: 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.

6.3 FACTOR 3: ARCHITECT-ENGINEER TEAM: The Offeror will be rated on an adjectival basis. To achieve an “acceptable” the Offeror will submit the information listed in paragraph 5.3 that demonstrates the DOR’s experience in relevant projects and ability to successfully meet all of the requirements related to designing a constructible project for this requirement.

Offerors may receive higher ratings if they demonstrate successful experience with the prime contractor.

7. EVALUATION PROCEDURE

7.1 Source Selection Evaluation Board: The Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will conduct a review of the Technical Evaluation Board (TEB) evaluation 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 SSA 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, including the prices for each Offeror (in Phase II); brief the SSA; and prepare 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 II of the solicitation.

7.3 Discussions: Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details in their Phase I proposals, in a concise manner, to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of Phase I 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 I - the Government may evaluate Phase I proposals as submitted, without further exchanges. However, the Government reserves the right to talk with Offerors during Phase I and to request Phase I proposal revisions, if determined to be necessary and in the best interests of the Government by the Contracting Officer. Offerors are advised that it is the intent of the Government that a Phase I “Most Highly Qualified Offerors” determination will be made without discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to hold discussions if it determines that discussions are necessary. Therefore, proposals should be submitted on the most favorable terms that the Offeror can submit to the Government. The Government reserves the right to limit the technically acceptable range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals in accordance with FAR Clause 52.215- 1(f)(4).

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 contracts to the Offerors with the most advantageous proposals to the Government.

7.5 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.

7.6 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.

7.7 The maximum number of Offerors chosen to advance to Phase II will be up to five. The Government reserves the right to limite the acceptable range.

7.8 The Phase II solicitation will be issued via Amendment to the Offeror’s selected to advance to Phase II.

7.9 Phase I selection of the “Most Highly Qualified Offerors.” Up to five, which are determined to be the most highly qualified Offerors, will advance to Phase II. The following chart describes the evaluation factors and their relationship:

PHASE I

FACTOR 1 Past Performance of Construction Projects FACTOR 2 Management Approach FACTOR 3 Architect-Engineer Team

Factors 1, 2 and 3 are in descending order of importance. Therefore, Factor 1 is more important than Factor 2, which is more important than Factor 3.

After all of the evaluations have been completed, the SSA will determine which Offerors are deemed to be the most highly qualified.

8. BASIS OF CONTRACT AWARD (After Phase II)

Phase II

NON-PRICE FACTORS

Factor 1 Phase I: Past Performance of Construction Contracts Factor 2 Phase I: Management Approach Factor 3 Phase I: Architect-Engineer Team Factor 4 Seed Project Narrative

PRICE FACTOR

Factor 5 Seed Project Price and Price Schedule

When combined all non-price factors are significantly more important than price.

In Phase II, Offerors ratings for Factors 1, 2, and 3 will advance from Phase1. The order of importance for Phase II, will be Factor 4, Factor 1, Factor 2, and Factor 3.. Therefore, Factor 4 is more important than Factor 1, which is more important than Factor 2, which is more important than Factor 3..

Trade-off Analysis: After evaluations of all Phase II proposals are completed, the SSA will determine which Offeror submitted the proposal that represents the “best value” to the

Government.

To be eligible for award, all proposals must meet the criteria stated in the RFP, to include responsiveness, technical acceptability and responsibility.
