SECTION 00 21 16 - INSTRUCTIONS TO PROPOSERS

The following have been modified:

PROPOSAL PROVISIONS - PHASE 1

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

This is a competitive acquisition for the award of a single award task order contract. A contract will be awarded to the Offeror whose proposal represents the “Best Value” to the Government in Phase I and II. The best value determination will be based on a comparative assessment of proposals against all source selection criteria in the solicitation with appropriate consideration given to the five evaluation factors: Experience and Past Performance, Work Plan Management Approach, Seed Project Technical Approach, Small Business Participation Plan and Price.

(AM0001)

PHASE I

Proposals must meet the criteria stated in the request for proposal (RFP) in order to be eligible for award, to include responsiveness, technical acceptability and responsibility.

Factor 1 Experience and Past Performance

Factor 2 Work Plan Management Approach (AM0001)

Factors 1 and 2 are in descending order of importance. A target of three offerors, but no more than five will advance to Phase 2.

PHASE II

Factor 3 Seed Project Technical Approach

Factor 1 Experience and Past Performance (Advanced from Phase I)

Factor 2 Work Plan Management Approach (AM0001) (Advanced from Phase I)

Factor 4 Small Business Participation Plan

Factor 5 Price: Seed Project Price Schedules

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

Phase II factors are listed in descending order of importance. The order of importance for the non-price factors are as follows: Factor 3, Factor 1, Factor 2, and Factor 4.

This means that Factor 3 is the most important factor and Factor 4 is the least important factor.

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

It is the intent of the Government to award up to three MILCON project task orders upon award of this IDIQ, or within three months thereafter. The three projects will be evaluated in Phase 2 of this solicitation:

Site R – Consolidated Maintenance Complex: Construct a building for maintenance, environmental, and logistical functions to include maintenance bays, administrative space, indoor vehicle wash bay, and storage area with all associated interior utility, communications, and intrusion detection requirements.

Construction cost limit is $17M.

Site R – Public Works Operation Support Facility: Construct a new building for vehicle and equipment maintenance, outside communications maintenance, and administrative activities. This project will also include parking, water distribution and storage, storm water system, erosion control measures, electrical, and communications services. Construction cost limit is $18M.

Site C – Force Protection Perimeter Enhancements: Construct perimeter security fencing in accordance with requirements for Nuclear Command and Control Facilities to include chain-link fencing, fence lighting, electrical distribution, and security equipment pathways. Construction cost limit is $7M.

In accordance with FAR 15.101-1, a tradeoff process is appropriate when it may be in the best interest of the Government to consider award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror. This process permits tradeoffs among cost or price and non-cost factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal. The perceived benefits of the higher priced proposal shall merit the additional cost, and the rationale for tradeoffs must be documented in the file in accordance with FAR 15.406 -- Documentation.

Provide the DUNS number(s) and CAGE code(s) for the prime contractor and all teaming partners, e.g., design firms, key subcontractors, joint venture partners, whose experience is included in this Factor. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate, and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

The Government may contact and interview the owner's representative identified on the Past Performance Questionnaires, and reserves the right to interview other individuals acting for the owner's representative, if the owner's representative is not available. In addition, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance.

Past performance information may be obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Owners, Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency.

At no time during this process, or during any debriefing, or after any award, will the names of the individuals providing reference information about an Offeror's past performance be revealed to the Offerors or to any other party. If discussions are held, Offerors may be afforded the opportunity to respond to adverse comments made by references in accordance with guidelines identified in FAR Part 15.3. In this case, relevant comments will be extracted and provided to the Offeror.

C. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

1. FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE AND PAST PERFORMANCE:

The Government desires proposals that offer the best combination of experience considering all criteria. The Government will evaluate the extent of recent, relevant corporate experience, including strength and weaknesses of the prime contractor.

Past experience will be rated in terms of how likely there is a performance risk to the Government; that is, high confidence performance ratings will be taken as indicators of a low risk that the offeror will successfully perform the work. The more relevant a proposed contract is, the more weight it will be given in the overall confidence assessment rating. If an offeror has no record of relevant past performance, or if information on the offeror’s past performance is not available, the offeror must state that fact. That offeror may be rated as Unknown Confidence/ Neutral. As stated in FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

The offeror shall provide information that demonstrates the offeror’s past performance with construction contracts. The Government will evaluate experience on individual contracts and task orders. This should include both design-build and design-bid-build contracts. The offeror shall provide information on five construction contracts with at least three contracts valued at $15 million or greater that have been completed within the past six years from solicitation issue date.

Projects should demonstrate a variety of construction types and methods to assist in evaluating the offeror’s ability and approach to perform work, as described in the Statement of Work, such as, General experience:

a. Site Excavation

b. Electrical and Mechanical systems repair, construction or replacement

c. Structural and foundation systems repair, construction, or replacement

d. Site Utility Infrastructure and Systems repair, construction or replacement

e. Paving, Fencing and other major site renovations/installations

f. Supervisory Control and Data (SCADA) and Energy Management System (EMS)

g. IT Comms and Security Systems Infrastructure

Specialized experience:

a. Asbestos/lead abatement

b. Fuel Distribution and Storage Systems

c. Underground mining type excavation and activities

d. Access Control Points

e. Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) features

f. Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIF) with Electro Magnetic

Radiation (EMR) shielding

g. Work in 24/7/365 mission critical facilities with an uninterrupted mission, maintaining redundancy during construction

h. Work for the Intelligence Community, performing work in a secure compound under security control

Each individual project does not have to demonstrate all general experience however, the submitted project portfolio must demonstrate all general experience. The more specialized experience, in conjunction with the General experience, demonstrated over multiple projects may be evaluated as more relevant and lead to a higher confidence rating Validation of Offeror performance may occur through contacting the client POC provided by the Offeror on the first page of the PPQ and various government and commercial resources.

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, to include historical knowledge, 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.

2. FACTOR 2: WORK PLAN MANAGEMENT APPROACH (AM0001)

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s overall work plan management approach for the design and construction of this project SATOC and its capability to execute an awarded IDIQ with multiple task orders using a cohesive and collaborative team. The Government will evaluate the strengths, weaknesses and any deficiencies in the submission and assign one combined technical / risk rating for Phase I Factor 2.

The Offeror’s narrative shall consider the summarized scope of work information provided in the solicitation.

The narratives shall address the elements identified in paragraphs B.3.2 in sufficient detail to demonstrate a successful work plan management approach and management capabilities. The narrative must clearly demonstrate a reasonable approach to the contract and understanding of the requirements of this contract and a plan that has clearly applied the information provided in paragraphs B.3.2 which will lead to successful completion of all work. The work plan management approach will be evaluated in areas such as, but not limited to, management of multiple simultaneous task order contracts, clear roles/responsibilities of all team members, design management throughout the life of the SATOC, change management, scheduling, risk identification and mitigation. If the narratives do not address the above requirements, the proposal will still be evaluated;

however, it may demonstrate a potential increased risk of unsuccessful contract performance. Additional consideration may be given to a well detailed workplan that is tailored to this solicitation. (AM0001)

D. RATING METHOD

1. Proposal Compliance Review: A proposal compliance review will be performed to ensure that all required forms and certifications are complete, that the technical proposal has been received and that the Offerors are eligible to propose. 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.

2. Volume I (Technical Proposal, Factors 1-2) of the proposals will be evaluated, by the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) as established by the Source Selection Authority (SSA), based upon the factors listed below. Offerors submitting proposals for this project should limit submissions to data essential for the 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 - Experience and Past Performance Factor 2 - Work Plan Management Approach (AM0001)

See section above for a discussion of the evaluation approach 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.

Past Performance for Factor 1 (Experience and Past Performance) will be evaluated by evaluating 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 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.

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, the past performance questionnaires (PPQ-0) as well as any Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) ratings, Contractor Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) ratings 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 listed for and associated with the submitted projects:

PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENTS RATINGS:

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.
