SHEET

3 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

TAB A – FACTOR 1 - PAST PERFORMANCE

To demonstrate recent, relevant past performance, the Offeror must use the Specialized Experience forms – (Attachment 2) to list their construction experience of similar scope, complexity and magnitude. Additionally, the Offeror shall list their designer’s experience in designing projects of similar scope and complexity, which have already been constructed.

Design/Build experience will be considered more relevant than Design/Bid/Build 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 should be recent construction experience which means that they should be no more than ten (10) years preceding the date of this solicitation. The projects should 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.

Subcontractor experience may be submitted, however example experiencer from the prime contractor will be considered more relevant.

• Similar scope is defined as the design and construction of outdoor video display projects installed onto an existing structure. Projects demonstrating the following will be considered more relevant: a) integration of large-format LED or digital display technologies; b) structural modification or reinforcement of existing building elements; c) installation requiring coordination with existing utilities, electrical systems, or façade components.

• Similar complexity is defined as experience performing work in pedestrian-dense, urban environments where construction activities require heightened coordination, safety controls, and logistical planning.

Relevant complexity includes: a) execution within high-visibility / high-traffic public areas; b) work requiring multi-disciplinary coordination, including at minimum, structural engineering, technical disciplines (e.g., electrical, audiovisual, controls, digital display integration); c) projects requiring coordination with municipal authorities, public safety agencies, or other stakeholders due to site constraints or public impact.

• Similar magnitude is defined as projects with a construction value of $3,000,000 or greater. Projects of comparable or greater dollar value will be considered more relevant, as they demonstrate the Offeror’s ability to manage financial, administrative, and technical requirements at a scale consistent with this procurement.

The Offeror will provide Past Performance information 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.

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.

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 outdoor video display projects installed onto an existing structure. Projects demonstrating the following will be considered more relevant: a) integration of large-format LED or digital display technologies; b) structural modification or reinforcement of existing building elements; c) installation requiring coordination with existing utilities, electrical systems, or façade components.

• Similar complexity is defined as experience performing work in pedestrian-dense, urban environments where construction activities require heightened coordination, safety controls, and logistical planning.

Relevant complexity includes: a) execution within high-visibility / high-traffic public areas; b) work requiring multi-disciplinary coordination, including at minimum, structural engineering, technical disciplines (e.g., electrical, audiovisual, controls, digital display integration); c) projects requiring coordination with municipal authorities, public safety agencies, or other stakeholders due to site constraints or public impact.

• Similar magnitude is defined as projects with a construction value of $3,000,000 or greater. Projects of comparable or greater dollar value will be considered more relevant, as they demonstrate the Offeror’s ability to manage financial, administrative, and technical requirements at a scale consistent with this procurement.

The Government will consider the totality of the experience demonstrated in the submitted projects.

Proposals will be rated more favorably when the Offeror provides multiple examples that collectively demonstrate strong compliance with the relevancy criteria above.

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:

Performance Confidence Assessments Rating Definition 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 record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the facto of past performance.

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.

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.

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 a Neutral Confidence rating. This rating is neither favorable nor unfavorable.
