INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

The Government will award a firm-fixed-price (FFP) contract to the responsible Small Business Offeror whose offer is the lowest priced, technically acceptable. Offeror’s must be registered in the System for Award Management (www.sam.gov) at the time a quote is submitted. The quotes will be evaluated based on the following three (3) factors:

Factor I: Technical Capability

Factor II: Past Performance

Factor III: Price Proposal

Offers shall be prepared in accordance with these instructions, providing all required information in the specified format. Timely submission will be documented in accordance with the date and time stamp of the email submission.

An email confirmation will be sent by the Government within one business day to confirm receipt. If the Offeror cannot provide a Bid Guarantee in accordance with FAR 52.228–1, the Offeror’s quote will not be considered valid for this solicitation. Submit the Bid Guarantee electronically with the quote submission.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

Quotes shall be submitted via email ONLY to Ms. Erica Stiner at erica.j.stiner@usace.army.mil by 27 April 2023 at 6:00 PM ET.

Questions concerning this solicitation must be submitted by email (erica.j.stiner@usace.army.mil) no later than 14 April 2023 at 6:00 PM ET.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

The quote shall consist of two separate volumes: a technical proposal and a price proposal. Note: The technical proposal shall not contain any pricing information.

a) Volume 1: Technical Submissions should be limited to 10 pages, not including the table of contents, cover page, tables, images, or past performance questionnaires. Text should be at size 12 font, single spaced. Font limitations do not apply to charts, tables, and figures, but font must be legible. Include a Cover Letter summarizing the pricing total and stating the Offeror’s address, point of contact, Cage Code, and UEI.

i) Factor I: Technical Approach: Offeror shall provide sufficient detail to demonstrate they can realistically meet the requirements of the specifications. The Offeror shall describe their plan to provide the necessary equipment, personnel, materials, and other resources and tentative schedule with key milestones to meet the delivery schedule (180 days from award). The Technical Approach will include:

1. Equipment plan: The proposed equipment list should only include the equipment which will be used on this contract. Include size, make, model, and ownership (owned or rented) of equipment.

2. Staffing plan: The proposed staffing plan shall include both numbers of personnel proposed and position titles. Resumes for proposed key personnel, consisting of experience and other pertinent information, inclusive of superintendents, quality control inspectors, and foremen must also be submitted.

3. Work plan: A work plan shall be submitted indicating how the work will be accomplished including the steps required and definable features of work. A proposed schedule stated in the number of days from award issuance, not in actual dates, should also be provided and shall include the most realistic project completion date.

ii) Factor II: Past Performance: Past performance refers to the quality of recent project experience from the customer’s perspective. The Offeror shall provide (3) Past Performance Questionnaires from references for similar work completed in the last five (5) years with narrative description of the work performed for each project, not to exceed one page per project. The Offeror may arrange for the reference customer point of contact to complete the Past Performance Questionnaire ((PPQ) attachment J-4) and forward directly by the references to Erica Stiner, Contract Specialist, at erica.j.stiner@usace.army.mil or provide the PPQs in their submission.

Ensure that the PPQ sections 1 to 4 are completed before giving the form to references. The Government will not release the questionnaire forms to the Offeror at any time, for the Government to solicit candid, unbiased responses, and comments. The Government may use data in the Government’s Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and other resources to determine past performance acceptability.

Relevant similar projects must include all of the following elements, but do not have to include all elements in each project individually:

Metal Fabrication Hydraulic Steel Structures Fabrication and Painting Critical Lifts Metal Demolition and Disposal

b) Volume 2: Price

i) The Price Proposal shall be provided separately from the technical proposal.

ii) Volume 2 should include any explanations or assumptions associated with the technical aspects of completing the work related to the price.

iii) Pricing shall be provided on a firm-fixed basis according to the contract line item numbers (CLIN 0001 and CLIN 0002) to meet the requirements of the statement of work to be completed. The Contractor is responsible for all labor, material, equipment, permits, transportation, and other resources required to perform the work.

Include the attached Quote Sheet (attachment J-5).

EVALUATION CRITERIA

Quote Compliance Review: A quote compliance review will be performed to ensure that all required representations and certifications are complete, that the bid guarantee and technical and price proposals have been received, and that the Offerors are eligible for consideration.

Volume I

a) Factor I Technical Approach will be evaluated on technical capability to successfully complete the project in accordance with the specifications and scope of work. The Offeror must provide sufficient detail to evaluate the staffing, equipment, material, and other resources are sufficient to complete the work on schedule. The Technical Approach will be rated as acceptable or unacceptable as outlined in Table A-1.

Table A-1 Technical Approach Rating Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

b) Factor II Past Performance will be evaluated for the Offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the Offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the construction work outlined in the solicitation requirements. Past performance will be rated on an acceptable or unacceptable basis using the ratings in Table A-2. Offeror’s without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered acceptable.

Table A-2 Past Performance Rating Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror's performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Volume II

a) The Government will evaluate price by adding the total of all CLIN prices. Prices will be evaluated to establish the best value to the Government using the price analysis technique in FAR 13.106-3(a)(1): comparison of competitive quotations. If only one offer is received, the price will be evaluated as fair and reasonable based on a comparison with the Independent Government Estimate.

b) Offerors must include all CLIN; partial quotes will not be accepted.

c) The proposed price shall include all resources the Offeror would require to perform the work except the Government furnished property (crane) to be provided, including profit, permits, bonds, insurance, and travel/transportation.

Contract personnel are critical to the overall security and safety of US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) installations, facilities and activities, and security awareness training contributes to those efforts. The Department of Defense (DoD) and Army security training requirements specified below, if applicable, are performance requirements; all applicable contract personnel shall complete initial training within 30 days of contract award or the date new contract personnel begin performance on the contract. Within five business days from the completion of training, the Contractor shall provide written documentation (e.g., email or memorandum) to the Government representative.

In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the FPCON or HPCON levels at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may implement security changes that affect contract personnel. The Contractor shall ensure all contract personnel are aware of their security responsibilities, including any site-specific requirements identified in local policies or procedures.

This locally developed training provides contract personnel with general information on suspicious behavior, and guidance on reporting suspicious activity to the project manager, security representative or law enforcement entity.

d) Escorting in classified and/or sensitive areas: In accordance with applicable regulations, all contract personnel who do not possess the appropriate security clearance or access privileges will be escorted in areas where they may be exposed to classified information or operations, sensitive information or activities, or restricted areas.
