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.

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).

The Government will not make assumptions concerning the intent, capabilities, or experiences of the Offerors. Clear identification of proposal details shall rest as sole responsibility of the Offeror. Therefore the proposal shall meet the following basic requirements:

a. Proposals shall be typed, in the English language, and easy to read. Margins (1-inch) shall be clean and clear.

g. Offerors are reminded that elaborate corporate marketing information, formatting, special reproduction techniques, and the like are not necessary. However, proposals shall completely and adequately address the requirements of this solicitation.

h. Failing to submit attachments or failing to properly complete the proposal, may result in rejection of the Offer without further evaluation. Therefore, Offerors are urged to follow instructions and contact the Contract Specialist if instructions are not understood.

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 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.

3.0 EVALUATION FACTORS

3.1 VOLUME 1 – TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

3.1.1. FACTOR 1 – RELEVANT SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE –

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

To demonstrate recent, relevant experience, the Offeror must use the Specialized Experience forms – (Attachment 2 for construction experience). If the Offeror is a Joint Venture, Limited Liability Corporation, members of a Teaming Agreement, or integrated construction firm provide experience information for construction, demonstrating the experience of each construction entity as is relevant to their proposed role on this project. Submit projects that are currently well underway (designed and at least 75% construction progress completed) or completed and turned over no longer than seven (7) years preceding the date of this Solicitation. If any firm has multiple divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division submitting the offer. The Offeror shall submit a minimum of two (2), but, no more than three (3) projects examples. Experience submitted from an identified major-subcontractor is allowable to meet the requirement for submitted projects.

EVALUATION CRITERIA:

The Offeror will be evaluated on the relevancy of the experience demonstrated in the submitted EXPERIENCE INFORMATION FACT SHEET, Form A2. Factor 1 shall be rated in accordance with information provided below. The projects submitted shall include the following criteria.

Scope: defined as the following:

Similar scope is defined as a construction project, either repairing a facility or erecting a new building that contained a curtain wall construction.

Complexity: defined as all of the following:

Similar complexity is defined as a construction project that demonstrates past NYC permitting actions (indicate which types of permits were obtained) and demonstrate working in a congested/populated area and where pedestrian traffic was encountered and how any sidewalk /roadway detours were achieved.

An Offer will be considered acceptable if a minimum of two projects meet the past experience definitions described above, regarding scope and complexity.

The Government reserves the right to verify the experience by reviewing the Construction Contractor (or Architect-Engineer) Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), other DoD or Government appraisal systems or to interview commercial owners or references. The Government may check any or all cited references to verify supplied information. The relevant experience of key personnel proposed for this project will not be evaluated or considered under this factor.

Rating Guidelines for Factor 1:

The government will not award to an Offeror that receives an unacceptable rating for this factor.

Acceptable: Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable: Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

3.1.2. FACTOR 2 - CONTRACTOR RELEVANT PAST PERFORMANCE

The Offeror will provide past performance information on the projects submitted under Factor 1 using the past performance questionnaires included in the solicitation. In addition to the past performance questionnaires provided, the Government intends to use the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). However, 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 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) or other personnel with knowledge of performance, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources.

The past performance evaluation team will review this past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to a performance competence assessment as described in the guidelines, below.

Negative performance information includes the issuance of cure notices, terminations for default, or the requirement for excessive oversight in order to achieve satisfactory completion. A single example of negative performance, if significant enough, may lead to a negative rating for this factor. Likewise, multiple examples of less significant negative performance may lead to a negative rating for this factor.

In conducting the performance competence assessment, the Government will consider the relevancy of the past performance information available. Highly relevant projects are those that are similar in scope, magnitude, and complexity to the current solicitation, although the past performance may still be considered if the projects do not fully meet the criteria for Factor 1, Past Experience.

In addition, the Offeror is required to provide any information on past projects (within the past five (5) years) that were terminated (for any reason) or in which they have been issued a CURE NOTICE and provide accompanying information as to the details for such action(s) with an explanation of why they were terminated or issued a cure notice.

EVALUATION CRITERIA:

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. (see note below.)

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

NOTE: In the case of an offeror 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, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or "neutral") past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered "acceptable."

PAST PERFORMANCE (CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT RATING SYSTEM)

Past Performance Risk Ratings assess the risks associated with an Offeror's likelihood of success in performing the requirements stated in the RFP based on the Offeror's demonstrated performance on recent, relevant contracts. Performance Confidence Assessment (Overall) Rating System:

(a) Unknown Confidence: No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

(b) 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.

(c) 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.

(d) 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.

Past performance relevancy ratings.

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

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

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

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

3.1.3 FACTOR 3 - QUALIFICATIONS OF THE OFFEROR’S TEAM

The Offeror shall provide the following to show qualifications of the team:

The Offeror shall identify the areas and percent of work (construction) they intend to self-perform and the areas and percent of work they intend to subcontract out.

Provide an Organization Chart showing Key Personnel for the Offeror's Construction Team.

At a minimum, the organizational chart shall identify the Key Personnel, the contractor and significant subcontractor entities, their responsibilities, structure and lines of authority.

Furthermore, at a minimum, the following Key Personnel shall be identified by name within the chart:

Contractor’s Construction Project Manager;

Project Superintendent;

The Contractor (Offeror) shall develop his own chart, unique to and specific to their organization, team, and this proposal.

Individual resumes in the same or similar format found in Attachment # 3, Key Personnel Resume Form, shall be provided and may not exceed two pages for each position with each page single spaced with a minimum 12-point font and at least one inch margins all around. Those Offerors choosing not to use the actual form provided in Attachment #3 must ensure that the Resume includes the following information:

a. Name.

b. Management title on this project.

c. Number of years with firm and other firms.

d. Number of years in this management title or role.

4.2.3. If discussions are held, the Government may engage in meaningful discussions with each technically acceptable offeror in accordance with FAR 15.306 (d). The Contracting Officer/PCO will tailor the discussions to each offeror’s proposal relative to the solicitation requirements and evaluation factors. To be meaningful, at a minimum, discussions must include identification of all evaluated deficiencies, significant weaknesses, weaknesses, and any adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not yet had an opportunity to respond. The Contracting Officer/PCO also is encouraged to discuss other aspects of the offeror’s proposal that could, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer/PCO, be altered or explained to enhance materially the proposal’s potential for award. However, the Contracting Officer/PCO 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.
