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

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 and easy to read. Margins (1-inch) shall be clean and clear.

b. Proposals shall be organized, concise, and submitted in the volumes and in the order indicated herein.

Volumes shall be clearly identified and tabbed. Each factor shall be described in a separate tabbed section.

c. Proposals shall contain a Table of Contents and include at the bottom left side of each page the volume and page number.

d. Offerors shall verify that the information for the Point-of-Contacts located in Form A1, is current, correct and complete including email address and telephone number, and fax number if available.

f. Offerors shall submit a signed Offer (Standard Form 1442) for this solicitation including verification of all amendments received.

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 inrejection of the Offer without further evaluation. Therefore, Offerors are urged to follow instructions and contact the Contract Specialist if instructions are not understood.

2.5.2 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.

Offers may NOT be emailed or faxed.

However, proposals may be withdrawn in writing by letter, fax or e-mail to: FAX #: 212-264-3013;

Email: I van.D.Damaso@usace.army.mil. Any written notice to withdraw an offer sent to this office must be received in the office designated in the Request for Proposal (RFP) for receipt of offers not later than the exact date and time set for receipt of proposals.

2.5.3 Submission Deadline

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

Due to increased security on packages, your proposals may take longer than anticipated in arriving to New York District's Contracting Office in Room 16-300. It is the sole responsibility of the Offeror to ensure that its proposal arrives by the designated date and time.

2.5.4 Incurring Costs

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

2.5.5 Format Requirements

Submit one (1) original plus five (5) copies and (1) CD containing a digital copy of the proposal. In the event that there is a discrepancy between the original or copies, the original will control. All proposals shall contain the volume number and the name, address and telephone number of the Prime and Major Subcontractors, Joint Venture, or other entity identified on the cover. Note that a letter of commitment from the Subcontractor is required in order for the Subcontractor to be considered in the evaluation. 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 5)”. 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 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.

Additionally, the Offeror shall list their designer’s experience in designing projects of similar scope and complexity, which have already been constructed. Design Bid Build project will be considered but will rank lower than Design Build project experience.

For the construction contractor experience -submit a minimum of two (2) projects but no more than three (3) projects that have been completed and turned over or at least 75% construction complete. All the submitted projects shall be recent construction experience which means that they should be no more than ten (10) years preceding the date of this solicitation. The projects shall meet the descriptions of scope, complexity and magnitude as outlined below.

For the design firm on the team – submit a minimum of two (2) projects but no more than (3) previously designed projects that have been constructed (or at least 75% complete) within the last ten (10) years preceding the date of this solicitation.

Letters of commitment (Signed by both the Subcontractor and Offeror) are required in order for the Government to consider Subcontractor experience in the proposal evaluation. Other divisions within the Offer’s company may be considered as subcontractors for the submitting division.

Similar scope is defined as the design and construction of a 15,000 SF or greater maintenance facility.

Similar magnitude shall be considered projects with a construction cost of $10,000,000 and above. Offerors shall provide the construction cost to each project submitted, for both the design and construction projects submitted for consideration.

Similar Complexity is defined as the design and construction of a new maintenance facility utilizing a multi-discipline team consisting of the following disciplines at a minimum: Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Communication, Fire Protection and Civil.

EVALUATION CRITERIA- RELEVANCY

The Offeror will be evaluated on the relevancy of the experience demonstrated in the submitted EXPERIENCE INFORMATION FACT SHEET, Form A2. The projects submitted should include the following criteria. Projects do not have to include all of the criteria; however, projects that meet many or all of the criteria would be given a higher degree of relevancy.

• Similar scope is defined as the design and construction of a 15,000 SF or greater maintenance facility.

• Similar Complexity is defined as the design and construction of a new maintenance facility utilizing a multi-discipline team consisting of the following disciplines at a minimum: Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Communication, Fire Protection and Civil.

• Similar magnitude shall be considered projects with a construction cost of $10,000,000 and above.

The Government will consider the experience demonstrated by the projects in its evaluation. Proposals will be highly rated when the Offeror demonstrates extensive experience in all or nearly all of the aspects defining relevance and listed below. Where this experience includes the following, the proposal may be given strengths (the following list does not encompass all possible strengths):

• The Offeror acted as a prime contractor in the majority of the example experiences;

• The majority of the example experiences are projects performed for the U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers

• The majority of the experiences are projects performed within the last three years;

• The experiences demonstrate previous teaming experience between current proposal team members.

• The Offeror has Design-Build RFP experience.

• Projects with magnitudes over $20M.

• The projects are maintenance Hangars.

• The projects are located at Fort Drum.

• The projects show experience working in cold weather regions.

Where this experience includes the following, the proposal may be given weaknesses (the following list does not encompass all possible weaknesses):

• Few or no projects are provided where the Offeror acted as Prime contractor.

• Example experience where the project amount was below $10M.

• Example experiences where the Offeror or their proposed subcontractor were subcontractors and their role was minor in comparison to the whole project.

• Example projects were performed by a Division of the company other that the Division submitting the offer.

• Example experiences are from proposed subcontractors in lieu of the Offeror.

• The example experiences do not demonstrate previous teaming experience between current proposal team members.

• Experience examples are not verifiable.

RATING GUIDELINES FOR FACTOR 1

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

(b) 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.

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

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

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

The government will not award to an Offeror that receives an Unacceptable rating in this factor.

T AB B – FACTOR 2 - 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. Your client should receive Form A2 with items 1 through 4 completed and the “Note” that appears on its reverse side as well as the “Adjective Rating and Definitions” that are used for the ratings in Form A3. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted with your proposal. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before the proposal closing date, the Offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ (FORM A2), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, Contract Specialist prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

Also include performance recognition documents received within the last five (5) years such as award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

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.

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.

In addition, the Offeror is required to provide information on past projects (within the past five (5) years) in which they have been issued a CURE NOTICE, have been terminated for default or have been issued a negative past performance rating (either interim or final) and provide accompanying information as to the details for such action(s) with an explanation of why they were issued a cure notice or negative rating and what actions their organization have taken or would take to ensure that their performance on this project will not warrant a similar cure notice or negative rating.

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

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

(d) Not Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and

Based on the Offeror’s recent relevant performance record, the Government will make a determination as to the expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort. A performance confidence assessment rating will be assigned.

Where 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, the Offeror will receive an Unknown Confidence (neutral) rating. This rating is neither favorable nor unfavorable.

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory 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 satisfactory.

A Satisfactory 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 Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

(U) Unsatisfactory 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 Unsatisfactory 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 unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable

No information or did not apply to your contract

Rating will be neither positive nor negative.
