CPARS/CCASS

Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System- The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requires that Past Performance Information (PPI) be collected on DoD contracts. Both the contractor and government personnel are responsible for inputting PPI data. Performance evaluations prepared in CPARS are transmitted to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). For specific details and guidance in use of the system, contractor is directed to https://www.nwp.usace.army.mil/ct/I/home.asp. This links the contractor to the Portland District Contractor Appraisal Information Center (CAIC). CAIC is the primary center to assist both the contractor and government personnel in using the system.

Construction Performance Evaluation will be prepared in the Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS) sub module of the CPARS. The link to Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS) is http://cpars.navy.mil/ccassmain.htm (Used to document contractor performance on Construction contracts.)

1.5 Page Limit and Size of Printed Materials

In order to effectively and equitably evaluate all proposals, the Contracting Officer must receive information sufficiently detailed to clearly address submission requirements as outlined below.

The written portion of the proposal (Volume I - Technical Proposal), however, shall not exceed 100 pages. A page printed on two sides will be counted as two pages. Pages containing text shall be submitted on 8-1/2 x 11 inch paper. Drawings or sketches may be submitted on paper not exceeding 11 x 17 inch paper, folded to not exceed 9 x 11 inch. Each 11 x 17 inch sheet will counted as two pages and two sided counted as four. Use of ‘TAB’ pages are encouraged to identify each section of the proposal and shall not count against proposal’s total page count. Each page of text shall be minimally single spaced with a minimum 12-point font and one inch margins all around.

2.0 PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Proposal Requirements and Submission

Proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable terms from a price and technical standpoint. Two (2) separate volumes shall be submitted as Volume I - Technical Proposal and Volume II - Price Proposal. Do not assume that Offerors will be contacted or afforded an opportunity to clarify, discuss or revise their proposals.

Do not submit any material not required by this solicitation (such as company or system brochures).

It is assumed that the Offerors will meet all technical portions (construction criteria) of the RFP.

The fact that the technical specifications and the drawings are not evaluated factors during solicitation does not relieve the Offerors from meeting all technical, or other, requirements of the

RFP.

2.2 Where to Submit

Offerors shall submit their proposal packages to the Corps of Engineers (USACE) at the address shown in Block 7 of Standard Form 1442.

2.3 Submission Deadline

The USACE must receive proposals not later than the time and date specified in Block 13 of Standard Form 1442.

The Government is not liable for any costs incurred by the Offerors submitting an offer in response to this solicitation.

2.5 Format Requirements

Submit one (1) original plus six (6) copies. All proposals shall contain the volume number and the name, address and telephone number of the Prime and Subcontractors, Joint Venture, or other entity identified on the cover. The original proposal must be clearly marked as “ORIGINAL” and the original signatures must be in blue ink. Copies of the proposals must also be clearly marked as “COPY x of y (i.e. COPY 1 of 6)”. Proposal clarity and material organization in each volume are mandatory. No material shall be incorporated by reference. Each volume will be submitted separately bound. The proposal shall address and contain the information listed below.

The information will be used by the Source Selection Board to evaluate each proposal. Offerors are advised that conciseness and relevance of the proposal is important and unrelated information will not be evaluated. Proposals that provide only superficial coverage of the information required below, may not receive additional consideration and may be excluded from the competitive range.

Additionally, should the proposal include any standard company terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, the proposal may be determined to be "unacceptable" and thus ineligible for award.

The contracting officer also is encouraged to discuss other aspects of the offeror’s proposal that could, in the opinion of the contracting officer, be altered or explained to enhance materially the proposal’s potential for award. However, the contracting officer will not discuss with individual offerors how their proposal compares to other offerors proposals (technical leveling and/or technical transfusion is not allowed). The Government will provide the Offeror an advance agenda for the discussions. During discussions, the Government may ask the Offeror to further explain its proposal and to answer questions about it.

4.2.4. Upon conclusion of discussions, offerors will be afforded an opportunity to submit their proposal revisions for final evaluation and selection.

4.3. DEFINITIONS

4.3.1. Deficiency

A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement, where correction of this error is not possible without major revisions to the proposal, or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level or when a failure to meet the RFP requirements is a life/safety issue.

4.3.2. Weakness

A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance but is easily correctable. Successful contract performance is defined by customer satisfaction.

4.3.3. Significant Weakness

As flaw in the proposal that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Successful contract performance is defined by customer satisfaction.

4.3.4 Uncertainty

Any aspect of the proposal for which the intent of the Offeror is unclear because there may be more than one way to interpret the offer or because inconsistencies in the offer indicate that there may be an error, omission, or mistake.

4.3.6. Deviation

Proposal implies or specifically offers a deviation below the specified criteria. The Offeror may or may not have called the deviation to the Government’s attention. A deviation is a deficiency. The proposal must conform to the solicitation requirements for award.

4.4. EVALUATION RATING SYSTEM -

4.4.1. General: The Government will review the proposals and rate the quality of each evaluation factor.

The SSEB will rate each proposal against the specified evaluation criteria in the Solicitation requirements.

4.4.2. Review Write-up: The Government will support each rating with a narrative, separately listing all strengths or advantages, weaknesses or disadvantages, deficiencies, and required clarifications.

5.0 BASIS OF AWARD

5.1. The Government will award a firm fixed price contract to the responsible Offeror whose technically acceptable proposal represents the lowest price.

5.2. The basis of award will be the Government’s assessment as to which proposal is determined to be technically acceptable and is the lowest price determined fair and reasonable through the use price analysis. Offerors that do not receive an acceptable rating (technically acceptable), will not be selected, regardless of their price (lowest Offeror may not be selected).

5.3. Offerors have been reminded to include their best technical and price terms in their initial offer and not to automatically assume that they will have an opportunity to participate in discussions or be asked to submit a revised offer. The Government may make award of an acceptable proposal without discussions, if deemed to be in the best interests of the Government.

ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT

YOUR EVALUATION OF THE CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(A) Acceptable Performance meets minimum contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were acceptable.

An Acceptable rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Acceptable solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(U) Unacceptable Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unacceptable rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unacceptable rating.
