For Phase 1, Factor 1, Experience in Relevant Projects, would the USACE consider extending the performance date for past projects to 10 years? Also, would you consider removing the requirement for all of the projects to be design build?

On: May 26 2020.

Government Response. . The current solicitation requirement is that all project must be completed within eight (8) years preceding the original date issuance of the solicitation and will remain the same. Design bid build projects will be accepted and changed via amendment to include the language that follows. The Offeror shall submit information on at least three (3) but no more than five (5) completed projects. At least three (3) projects must demonstrate Design Build experience. The remaining project can demonstrate Design Bid Build experience. At least one Design Build project must demonstrate experience from the proposed designer. On: Jun 03 2020

Current Request Status: Request Closed Information for this report is procurement sensitive.

Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

Regarding Factor 1, would the government consider reducing the minimum completion value from $60,000,000 to $25,000,000 and requesting that offerors demonstrate individual-project bonding capability at $60,000,000? The Corps' magnitude for this project is $25,000,000 to $100,000,000. The industry considers this range to indicate that experience with $25,000,000 construction is comparable to $60,000,000 and even $100,000,000 projects; that if a contractor can perform a $25,000,000 project, it can perform a $60,000,000 project. Contractors with 3-5 design/build projects over $60,000,000 (or over 170,000 SF) within the past six years are rare. The solicitation requirements as currently written would likely (and probably severely) limit the Corps' pool of qualified contractors to evaluate. This requested adjustment would, per the Corps' magnitude range, still demonstrate relevant experience and capability without any material sacrifice to the quality or relevancy of the government's evaluation. And it should allow the government to receive additional qualified proposals to consider.

On: Jun 01 2020.

Government Response. . The current solicitation reads,"...These projects must be of relevant scope and complexity and have either a minimum project size of 63,000 Building Gross Square Foot (BGSF) or demonstrate a minimum completion value of $18,000,00 considering adjustment for escalation from project completion to 2020 (all escalation values are to be labeled as escalated and the Offeror must explain in

ProjNet: Logged In User Page 4 of 3 detail their escalation rationale, which must include any formulas, calculations, assumptions, etc.) and address the discussions requested on Attachment A while meeting the teaming agreement requirements above. All projects must have a construction completion date no earlier than eight (8) years preceding the original date of issuance of this solicitation. Projects that have a Beneficial Occupancy Date (BOD) within the same date range will also be considered...". Please review the solicitation requirements. On: Jun 03

Current Request Status: Request Closed Information for this report is procurement sensitive.

8612453 Contracting RFP pages 11 - 12 of 58 Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

Regarding Factor 1, would the government also allow offerors to submit design/bid/build projects to demonstrate relevant experience, so long as at least one of the projects presented is design/build? Contractors with 3-5 design/build projects of the magnitude presently required by solicitation Factor 1 (and completed within the past six years) are rare. The Factor 1 solicitation requirements as currently written would likely (and probably severely) limit the Corps' pool of qualified contractors to evaluate. This requested adjustment would allow offerors more options to demonstrate relevant work, would be relevant to an offeror's construction phase capability specifically, and should allow the government to receive additional qualified proposals to consider.

On: Jun 01 2020.

Government Response. . Design bid build projects will be accepted and changed via amendment to include the language that follows. The Offeror shall submit information on at least three (3) but no more than five (5) completed projects. At least three (3) projects must demonstrate Design Build experience. The remaining project can demonstrate Design Bid Build experience. At least one Design Build project must demonstrate experience from the proposed designer. On: Jun 03 2020

8612456 Contracting RFP pages 11 - 12 of 58 Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

Regarding Factor 1, and in addition to the preceding two requests, would the government also consider extending the project recency requirement from six years to ten years? Contractors with 3-5 design/build projects over $60,000,000 (or over 170,000 SF) within the past six years are rare. The solicitation requirements as currently written would likely (and probably severely) limit the Corps' pool of qualified contractors to evaluate. Project completion in 2010 as opposed to 2014 would not be less relevant and would demonstrate capability to perform just as well. And it should allow the government to receive additional qualified proposals to consider.

On: Jun 01 2020.

Government Response. . The current solicitation requirement is that all project must be completed within eight (8) years preceding the original date issuance of the solicitation and will remain the same. The current solicitation reads,"...These projects must be of relevant scope and complexity and have either a minimum project size of 63,000 Building Gross Square Foot (BGSF) or demonstrate a minimum completion value of $18,000,00 considering adjustment for escalation from project completion to 2020 (all escalation values are to be labeled as escalated and the Offeror must explain in detail their escalation rationale, which must include any formulas, calculations, assumptions, etc.) and address the discussions requested on Attachment A while meeting the teaming agreement requirements above.

Section 2.2.1 - Experience in Relevant Projects defines relevant project size as "either a minimum project size of 63,000 Building Gross Square Foot (BGSF) or demonstrate a minimum completion value of $18,000,000 considering adjustment for escalation from project completion to 2020." Can the government please clarify if this minimum square footage and/or minimum completion value is applicable to a single building, or if multiple buildings under a single task order are equally relevant and compliant?

SECTION 00 21 16 - INSTRUCTIONS TO PROPOSERS

The following have been modified:

PHASE I PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

PHASE I SOLICITATION PROVISIONS

1. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 General: This Request for Proposal (“RFP”) seeks proposals from Offerors interested in being selected for the repair of barracks, Building 416, Fort Myer located in Arlington, Virginia. This is Phase I of a two-phase RFP.

This RFP is requesting submission of proposals under Phase I submission criteria ONLY. After evaluating Phase I proposals, the Contracting Officer will select the most highly qualified Offerors and request that only those Offerors submit proposals for Phase II. The maximum number of Offerors that will be selected to submit Phase II proposals shall not exceed five (5). Offerors shall not submit any proposals under Phase II submission criteria at this time. Phase II of the solicitation will be issued in an amendment directly to those Offerors selected for Phase II. Submitting any information under Phase II criteria may lead to disqualification of your proposal. This is an unrestricted competitive RFP. Offerors responding to this RFP are required to submit their proposals in accordance with the instructions contained in this Section 00 21 16.

The objective of this project is for the repair of barracks, Building 416. In addition to the repair, renovation, and upgrade to Building 416, building systems and components will also be repaired that include roofing, HVAC, electrical distribution, sanitary sewer system, and fire alarm system and fire suppression system, building information systems, lighting & illumination fixtures and plumbing fixtures, exterior doors, windows, ceilings, flooring and floor finishes, living and common area will be repaired. This project will require updates to the existing storm water management and site grading to address water infiltration issues. Additional repairs include existing interior doors and walls, some reconfiguration to maximize capacity and improve efficiency of interior space. HAZMAT were identified during the recent building condition survey and inspection. Removal of ACM and LBP will be required in this repair project in accordance with the governing Federal and State requirements.

This project will bring this building into the compliance with the current minimum AT/FP requirements and current standards of UEPH entry, kitchenette, vanity, bathroom, bedroom, closet, and living room to the extent possible within the existing building structure. The direction is to upgrade to barracks standards as much as possible with 121 single units as a minimum. During a surge, rooms could double up as necessary.

1.2 Basis for Award: A contract will be awarded to the Offeror whose proposal represents the “best value” to the

Government. The best value determination will be based on a comparative assessment of proposals against all source selection criteria in the solicitation, considering recommendations and minority opinions presented to the

ProjNet: Logged In User Page 6 of 3

Source Selection Authority (SSA). While the SSA may use reports and analyses prepared by others, the source selection decision shall represent the SSA's independent judgment.

For the purposes of this solicitation, the Government will utilize the best value Trade-Off Process. The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each proposal. Award will be made to the Offeror whose proposal is the most advantageous to the Government based on an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors described below.

PHASE I

Factor 1 – Past Performance and Experience Factor 2 – Management Approach

For Phase I, Past Performance and Experience (Factor 1) and Management Approach (Factor 2) will be will be adjectivally rated. Past Performance and Experience (Factor 1) is more important than Management Approach (Factor 2). Past Performance & Experience (Factor 1) and Management Approach (Factor 2) will not carry over to Phase II.

Each factor is rated individually based on the information contained in that specific factor; that is, evaluations will not be made across the factors.

PHASE II

Factor 3 – Project Approach Factor 4 – Small Business Participation Plan (SBPP) Factor 5 – Price

For Phase II, Project Approach (Factor 3) and SBPP (Factor 4) will be adjectivally rated. Project Approach (Factor 3) is more important than SBPP (Factor 4). When combined, Project Approach (Factor 3) and SBPP (Factor 4) are approximately of equal importance to Price (Factor 5).

1.3 Source Selection: It is the intent of the Government to seek proposals from qualified Offerors with experience in the significant features of this RFP and who can demonstrate a successful performance history in completing relevant projects. For the purposes of this solicitation, the Government will utilize the Trade-Off Process. The successful Offeror will be selected based on the “Best Overall Value to the Government”. The Government will not make an award at a significantly higher price to obtain only slightly superior technical advantages; however, the degree of importance of price as a factor could become greater depending upon the equality of the proposals submitted. Where the technical merits of competing proposals are determined to be substantially equal, price could become the controlling factor.

1.4 Each Offeror is required to submit a proposal consisting of the following volumes:

a. Phase I: Volume I – Technical Proposal (Factors 1 and 2), (digital copy)

b. Phase I: Volume II – Administrative Documents (digital copy)

*NOTE: Electronic submission instructions are outlined in section 1.7, below.

2. SUBMISSION CRITERIA

2.1 VOLUME I – MINIMUM SUBMISSION CRITERIA (FACTORS 1&2): For purposes of this solicitation, an

“Offeror” may include a group of two (2) or more entities that have formed a “contractor team arrangement,” as that term is defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 9.6. 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, will be considered as a part of the evaluation of the Offeror’s proposal.

An Offeror that relies upon the experience and performance history of a member, members or affiliates of a proposed contractor team arrangement must provide a teaming agreement or commitment (in the case of any affiliates) signed by all parties. The Teaming agreement/commitment shall:

a. Identify the legal name(s) and cage code(s) of all entities.

b. Describe the nature of each entity’s relationship (partnership, joint venture, prime/sub or mentor/protégé) and their role on this project as a part of their proposal. The Offeror will be expected to maintain that arrangement during performance of any contract awarded to that Offeror under this solicitation.

c. The estimated percentage of work to be completed by each member submitted for the solicitation. This can be a rough order of magnitude for Phase I; however, this agreement/letter must be resubmitted with Phase II to include that actual proposed percentages.

In the case of affiliates, past performance of an Offeror’s “affiliate,” as that term is defined in FAR 2.101, will be evaluated (as described within this section) if the Offeror demonstrates a firm commitment that the affiliate

ProjNet: Logged In User Page 9 of 3 will participate meaningfully (e.g. roles, responsibilities, etc.) in the performance of the contract. This commitment, nature of each entity’s relationship and meaningful participation shall be described in a document signed by authorized representatives of both the Offeror and its affiliate.

The following are to be used in determining the status of the Offeror’s team for the evaluation of project submissions under Factor 1:

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 solicitation, the Prime Contractor is considered the “Prime Offeror”.

In the case of joint ventures, the “Prime Offeror” experience can come from any of the entities involved in the venture.

In the case of mentor/protégé relationships, the relationship must be established by the two Offerors and approved by the chosen Government Agency prior to proposal submission. Once the relationship has been approved, the “Prime Offeror” experience can come from any of the entities involved in the relationship.

The approved mentor/protégé document from the Government Agency must be submitted along with the teaming agreement.

In the case of additional projects submitted by subcontractors, the subcontractor must submit the final cost of their portion of the project along with total project cost and all other required information.

In the case of Offerors that are large, multi-function firms (consisting of subsidiaries), experience must only be submitted by the segment of the firm (e.g., division, group, and unit) that is submitting a proposal in response to this solicitation.

In the case of affiliates, Past performance of an Offeror's "affiliate," as that term is defined in FAR 2.101, will be evaluated (as described within this section) if the Offeror demonstrates a firm commitment that the affiliate will participate meaningfully in the performance of the contract. This commitment and meaningful participation shall be described in a document signed by authorized representatives of both the Offeror and its affiliate.

If a teaming agreement or commitment is not provided, the projects of any team members outside of the Prime Offeror will not be considered. If the Joint Venture/Mentor Protégé is a Small and Large business, the Small Business will be evaluated as the Prime Offeror.

2.2 FACTOR 1 – PAST PERFORMANCE & EXPERIENCE: The submitted material MUST be organized sequentially under tabs for each numbered section to facilitate evaluation. All narratives must contain sufficient detail to demonstrate technical capability.

An Offeror that relies upon the experience and performance history of a member, members or affiliates of a proposed contractor team arrangement, as indicated above, must provide a teaming agreement or commitment (in the case of any affiliates) signed by all parties. The Offeror shall provide a teaming agreement with their proposed Designer.

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 solicitation, the prime contractor must have completed at least fifty percent (50%) of the total number of projects that meet the requirements for Factor 1 for consideration in response to the experience requirements of this solicitation.

All teaming agreements/commitment shall be provided at the beginning of the Offeror’s technical proposal, prior to Factor 1, and will not be included in the overall page count.

2.2.1 EXPERIENCE IN RELEVANT PROJECTS: The Offeror shall submit information on at least three (3) but no more than five (5) completed DB projects. At least three (3) projects must demonstrate DB projects.

The remaining project(s) can demonstrate Design-Bid-Build (DBB) experience. If the Offeror’s submission exceeds the maximum project limitation of five (5) completed projects, the first five (5) projects submitted will be evaluated only, while the remaining additional project(s) will not be evaluated. These projects must be of relevant scope and complexity and have either a minimum project size of 63,000 Building Gross

ProjNet: Logged In User Page 10 of

Square Foot (BGSF) or demonstrate a minimum completion value of $18,000,000 considering adjustment for escalation from project completion to 2020 (all escalation values are to be labeled as escalated and the Offeror must explain in detail their escalation rationale, which must include any formulas, calculations, assumptions, etc.) and address the discussions requested on Attachment A while meeting the teaming agreement requirements above. All projects must have a construction completion date no earlier than eight (8) years preceding the original date of issuance of this solicitation. Projects that have a Beneficial Occupancy Date (BOD) within the same date range will also be considered.

*Note: In reference to Task Order Construction Contracts (TOCCs)/Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contracts: Contracts will not be accepted as a project submission; however, individual task orders/delivery orders on TOCCs and/or ID/IQ contracts can be submitted under Factor 1. Each task/delivery order submitted must individually meet the requirements of the factor. Submissions of multiple task/delivery orders as a project will not be accepted or evaluated.

At least one (1) DB project must demonstrate experience from the proposed designer. For projects demonstrating past experience from the designer, one hundred percent (100%) of the design and at least seventy five percent (75%) of the construction of each project must be completed at the time of proposal submission.

For projects demonstrating past experience for the construction contractor, one hundred percent (100%) of the construction must be complete.

Each of the submitted projects shall also include a detailed discussion of at least two (2) or more of the following elements.

Experience performing construction/renovation of military dormitories or barracks Experience performing construction/renovation of apartments Experience removing asbestos containing material and lead based paint Installing/upgrading HVAC System to manage moisture build up in rooms and common areas to include commissioning Employing physical security and anti-terrorism/force protection measures Experience with building envelope repair/testing Experience with storm water management/grading.

*Lists, charts/matrices and bullets will not be accepted when identifying relevant elements.

Each element must have a description of how the project meets the element (e.g. concrete paving – For this project, 500 LF of concrete sidewalks were installed, 300 LF of curbs were removed and re-installed, etc.).

It is the responsibility of the Offeror to identify, detail and demonstrate the relevancy of the submitted projects to the solicitation criteria elements. The evaluation committee WILL NOT make assumptions.

The information that is required to be supplied is identified on the form provided entitled “EXPERIENCE IN RELEVANT PROJECTS” (Attachment A). Offerors are not required to use the form itself as part of their proposal, but the information requested on the form must be in the Offeror’s proposal and should be in the same format as the form. Offerors may expand the form as necessary to accommodate the required project information.

The only submissions under the tab for this section are to be the completed “Attachment A” forms or similar format as indicated above. Only the information provided in either of these formats will be considered. Company summaries/introductions, project summary charts/matrixes, etc. will not be accepted or evaluated.

2.2.2 PAST PERFORMANCE QUESTIONNAIRES FOR EXPERIENCE IN RELEVANT PROJECTS:

For each of the projects submitted, provide a copy of the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) report, or USACE Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ-0) (Attachment B) from a representative of the owner. The Offeror must request that their client complete the USACE Past Performance Questionnaire for Relevant Experience (Form PPQ-0) and submit the questionnaire as part of the Offeror’s technical proposal. The Offeror may provide an explanation if the performance evaluation rating is less than satisfactory. Offerors are encouraged to follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires.

If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before the proposal closing date, the Offeror must complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ (Attachment B) for projects submitted under the tab for EXPERIENCE IN RELEVANT PROJECTS, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the owner point of contact.

Previously completed PPQ-0s may be submitted provided that the documents do not reference any other solicitations. Submitted PPQ-0s must only reference this solicitation. Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) ratings will take precedence over PPQs.

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.

2.3. FACTOR 2 – MANAGEMENT APPROACH: The submitted material MUST be organized sequentially under tabs/pages for each numbered section to facilitate evaluation. All narratives must contain sufficient detail to demonstrate technical capability.

2.3.1 Describe the proposed management structure for the team to include both the construction and design firms, the resources and how the resources will be utilized, their roles and responsibilities, and what subcontracting firms the Offeror is considering utilizing. Offerors are encouraged to describe prior experience working with their proposed designer.

The Offerors must also provide a statement that, in accordance with the specifications of the RFP, all individuals, including subcontractors, will be able to gain access to the Fort Myer Installation.

2.3.2 Describe how subcontractors are managed by the prime contractor to include flow-down of contract requirements, duties, responsibilities and coordination. Discuss how non-performance by subcontractors is handled by the prime contractor.

2.3.3 Describe the role and interaction of the design team with the construction team during construction to include addressing, as a minimum, design quality control; tracking design evolution and changes during design to meet the schedule; management of the design during construction, including control and approval of revisions to the accepted design; requests for information; shop drawing and submittal reviews and approvals; progress meetings; site visits, if any; and as-built drawings.

3. EVALUATION CRITERIA

3.1 VOLUME I – EVALUATION CREITERIA (TECHNICAL PROPOSAL, PHASE I – FACTORS 1 AND 2)

Offerors are cautioned that “parroting” of the Technical requirements with a statement of intent to perform does not reflect an understanding of the requirement or capability to perform. Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each proposal.

3.2 FACTOR 1 – PAST PERFORMANCE & EXPERIENCE: All submissions by Offerors must demonstrate the minimum requirements for experience in relevant projects, as stated in paragraph 2.2 above.

ProjNet: Logged In User Page 12 of

Past Performance evaluations will be rated in terms of performance confidence for the Government; that is, projects that are considered to be less relevant in terms of size, scope or complexity, dollar value, and/or demonstrating low past performance evaluation ratings will be interpreted as indicators of less confidence that the Offeror can successfully perform the work. More relevant projects and high past performance evaluations will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance. Higher confidence assessments will be given for higher past performance evaluation ratings.

Past performance information may be obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or other databases using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the Offeror’s proposal; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency. The information obtained from these sources will be evaluated supplementary to the past performance questionnaires. In reference to the contracts pulled from these sources, the relevancy of the projects, completion dates, ratings and comments in the individual categories and overall ratings will be considered in making the overall confidence assessment.

In the case of Offerors for which there is no information on past contract performance or where past contract performance information is not available, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past contract performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv).) In this case, the Offeror’s past performance is unknown and assigned a performance confidence rating of “neutral.”

3.3 FACTOR 2 – MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY: The Offeror’s narrative will meet the requirements of this RFP if the narrative is a specific discussion that addresses the elements identified in paragraphs 2.3 in sufficient detail to demonstrate management capability. The narrative must clearly demonstrate a reasonable approach to the contract, an understanding of the requirements of this contract and a plan that has clearly applied the information provided in paragraphs 2.3 which will lead to successful completion of all work within the contract duration.

4. EVALUATION PROCESS

4.1 Proposal Compliance Review: A proposal compliance review will be performed to ensure that all required forms and certifications are complete, that the technical proposals have been received and that the Offerors are eligible to propose. Offerors are advised that the evaluation and ratings of all proposals will be conducted in strict confidence. However, an Offeror’s failure to provide all of the requested information may adversely affect the evaluation or result in rejection of the proposal as nonresponsive.

4.2 Volume I (Technical Proposal, Factors 1 and 2) of the proposals will be evaluated, by the SSEB as established by the SSA, based upon the factors listed below. Offerors submitting proposals for this project should limit submissions to data essential for evaluation of proposals. Each factor is rated individually based on the information contained in that specific factor; that is, evaluations will not be made across the factors, nor will information found in one factor be used in the evaluation of another factor. Factors 1 and 2 will be adjectivally rated. Factor 1 is more important than Factor 2.

Factor 1 – Past Performance and Experience Factor 2 – Management Approach

See section 2 and 3 above for a discussion of the evaluation criteria applicable to these factors.

Past Performance Ratings: There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation. The first is to evaluate the recency of the Offeror’s past performance. The second is to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the Offeror is to the effort to be acquired through the source selection. The third aspect of the past performance evaluation is to establish the overall quality of the Offeror’s past performance.

ProjNet: Logged In User Page 13 of

Past Performance for Factor 1 (Past Performance & Experience) will be evaluated by examining the projects submitted under the tab for paragraph 2.2.1, Experience in Relevant Projects, to determine the relevancy of a recent effort accomplished by the Offeror and assigning one of the relevancy ratings below. These ratings will then influence the overall Confidence Assessment for Factor 1:

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings:

Adjectival Rating Definition

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.

The following ratings will be used to identify the Government’s confidence in the Offeror’s Past Performance.

These ratings will be influenced by the relevancy ratings, above, as well as any Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) ratings; information gathered from POCs, Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials listed for and associated with the submitted projects; and any awards received for the submitted projects:

Performance Confidence Assessments:

Adjectival Rating Description

Substantial Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror’s performance report is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

The Combined Technical/Risk Ratings will be utilized in the evaluation of Factor 2 Management Approach.

The Offeror will be assigned one (1) of the Combined Technical/Risk ratings from the following table:

Combined Technical/Risk Ratings:

Adjectival Rating

Description

Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

ProjNet: Logged In User Page 14 of

Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the RFP, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable.

4.3 SSEB: The SSEB will conduct a review of the 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 for each Offeror; brief the SSA; and prepare any other necessary items.

4.4 Phase I Down Select: After all of the evaluations described above have been completed, the SSA will consider all factors to determine which Offerors submitted the proposals that represents the best value to the Government for this project. The SSA will compare the proposals to determine the offers that represent the best value to the Government, taking into consideration the stated evaluation factors and their respective weightings as specified in the RFP. The selection process is complex and depending upon the evaluation factors, the SSA may exercise a significant degree of judgment in selecting the Offerors. The adjectival ratings assigned by the evaluation team are labels and not the sole basis for proposal comparison. The SSA will not base his/her decision merely on the adjectival ratings or the comparative analysis and recommendations, which compares the strengths and weaknesses of the competing proposals, but shall exercise independent judgment. Up to five (5) Offerors, which are determined to be the most highly qualified Offerors, will advance to Phase II.

4.5 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.

5. SUBMISSION DEFINITIONS

Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating from sources where the information is from other than formal rating systems such as "PPIRS or FAPIIS."

Best Value is the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement.

Beneficial Occupancy Date (BOD) is the point at which the customer determines the facility or area can be occupied from both a regulatory and work function standpoint.

Building Gross Square Foot (BGSF) is the floor area of the entire building or project, which includes floor area occupied by rooms/spaces, walls, corridors, conveyances, mechanical/utility rooms,…
