8. Awards or Recognition Received (if applicable)

5.1.2. Teaming, LEED, & Design-Build Experience: The offeror should describe any previous teaming experience between current team members, if not described in the project list. Describe team members’ experience on LEED projects, if not included on the project list. Offeror may describe design-build experience on other type projects. The above information is limited to projects that are 100% constructed and turned over within the past six years preceding the date proposals are due.

5.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

5.2.1. The Government will evaluate the extent of recent, related experience of the prime contractor and design firms in design, construction, or design-build, as relevant to their role on this project. If the design will be accomplished in-house, rather than by subcontract, then the design element of specialized experience will still be evaluated. Experience on the similar projects identified in the project lists will receive more consideration than experience provided in the supplemental narrative. The Government may place greater importance on projects performed as a prime contractor than as a subcontractor, depending upon overall role and relevancy considerations. Federal Government project experience will not be rated more favorably than non-Federal Government project experience.

5.2.2. The Offeror must submit the requested information to demonstrate a record of recent, related experience in both design and construction for the facility types (which may include similar state or local government or private counterparts) included in this contract, as described in Section 00 22 10. Recent experience includes projects that are 100% constructed and turned over within six (6) years of the proposal due date for this RFP for design or construction experience. Joint Venture partners should each demonstrate experience commensurate with their role on this project or explain in the supplemental narrative how their experience qualifies them for their role on this project.

5.2.3. The Government reserves the right to verify the experience record of cited projects or other recent projects by reviewing the Corps of Engineers Construction Contractor (or Architect-Engineer) Appraisal Support System (CCASS/ACASS), reviewing other DOD or Government appraisal systems, or interviewing owners or references. The Government may check any or all cited references to verify supplied information.

5.2.4. To receive credit for extent (amount) of experience, the Offeror and its proposed design firm(s) shall demonstrate a history of recent, relevant experience. A firm will not receive credit under this factor for the relevant experience of key personnel proposed for this project.

5.2.5. The Government will consider extent of recent experience, degree of relationship of such experience to this project, and demonstrated familiarity with applicable codes and local conditions. Some examples of relevancy to this project may include, but not be limited to:

(1) Number, size, type work, complexity, location

(2) Firm's role and extent of work self-performed (brokering out all work and simply “pouring the sidewalks” on a cited project are examples of less relevant experience)

(3) Relevant recent experience constructing: Similarly-sized Confinement Facility by contract value of $40 million or greater, with the capacity to support 150 inmates or more; Construction of Confinement Facilities in accordance with American Correctional Association (ACA) standards, Military Construction (MILCON) projects.

5.2.6. The Government may consider previous D-B experience a strength, even if the experience is on different type projects than this project. Similarly, the Government may consider previous recent teaming experience among the team members as value added, even if on different type design and/or construction projects than this project. The more relevant the experience, the more credit will be given.

5.2.7. The firm(s) preparing the design must demonstrate qualifications and experience in sustainable design and development and design, based on project experience on projects that have achieved US Green Building Council’s LEED certification, on projects that were certifiable at LEED silver or better, or project experience on completed Corps of Engineers design-build projects that were validated as having achieving LEED silver rating for an acceptable rating. Additional consideration will be given if both the constructor and the design firm(s) demonstrate qualifications and experience on LEED.

6.0 TAB C – FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE

6.1 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

6.1.1. In accordance with FAR 42.1503, past performance will be evaluated using the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for the prime contractor and its Designer of Record firm. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, limit the DUNS number to the division or unit submitting the offer and divisions providing substantial support to the design-build team. The Government reserves the right to verify the past performance record of other team members besides the prime contractor, and DoR and may evaluate their PPIRS – If no relevant past performance history is available for your DUNS number, you may choose to utilize the attached Customer Satisfaction Survey/ Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attachment 4) which will be used for evaluation. The Government will only evaluate up to ten (10)

Customer Satisfaction Surveys/ Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) combined for prime contractor, and the design firm(s). Government databases will be checked and previous customers and/or evaluators may be contacted as references or verification of performance. All performance ratings shall be considered for contracts ongoing or completed within the past six (6) years from the date proposals are due.

6.1.2. All projects submitted on a Customer Satisfaction Survey/Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) must be at least 100% construction progress complete or completed within six (6) years preceding the date proposals are due. The PPQ included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror, or its team members, to submit to the client for projects the offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 1. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed Customer Satisfaction Surveys/Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) should be submitted with your proposal. 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, Lorraine.Warehime@usace.army.mil, via email prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. This does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. 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.

6.2. EVALUATION CRITERIA:

6.2.1. Past performance assesses the degree of relevance and confidence the Government has in an offeror’s ability to supply the products and services that meet a user’s needs. This is based on a demonstrated record of performance. The Government may give greater consideration to PPQs for submitted reference projects from Factor 1 (see paragraph 5.1). There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation:

6.2.2. The Government will first assess and rate the relevancy of recent projects accomplished by the offeror to the scope of this contract. The projects will include those submitted under the Specialized Experience Factor (1) as well as from other sources described above. There are four levels of relevancy as shown in Table 2 below:

Table 2. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Rating Definition

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

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

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

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

6.2.3. The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine the degree of success of the D-B team's recent (turned over within 6 years preceding the date proposals are due), relevant experience. See explanation of “100% constructed” and relevancy under the Factor “Specialized Experience”. In conducting a performance confidence assessment, each offeror shall receive one of the ratings in Table 3, below:

Table 3. Performance Confidence Assessments Rating Description 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 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.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral)

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.

6.2.4. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, the Government will only evaluate past performance of the division or unit submitting the offer or by the team member. Owners/references may be asked to comment on items such as quality of design or construction, timeliness, management of the work subcontractor management, including timely payment to subs or suppliers, safety, relations between owner and designer or contractor, level of support for such things as as-built documentation, O&M manuals, training, correcting design or construction errors, warranty work, etc. (see Attachment 4). The Government will target areas covered in the requirements of this proposal including records of conforming to quality, schedule, cost control, customer satisfaction, level of support for such things as as-built documentation, O&M manuals, training, problem resolution for design or construction errors, warranty work, and safety. The Government also places a higher value on projects, which document successful outcomes and are supported by outside source confirmation. The Government also places a higher value on projects, which provided particularly difficult or unique challenges and the innovative methods the contractor used to resolve problems successfully.

Each entity (firm) will be rated on its own performance or that of its predecessor, if relevant. An entity may not establish past performance based on the past performance of its proposed key personnel, apart from that of the entity.

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 will 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.

7.0 PHASE 1 OVERALL RATING

7.1 In addition to individual factor ratings, the Government will assign an overall rating for the Phase 1 proposal.

8.0 PHASE 1 EVALUATION PROCEDURES

8.1 SOURCE SELECTION EVALUATION BOARD (SSEB)

8.1.1. The SSEB will be established to conduct the evaluation of proposals received in response to this solicitation. The evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal, proposal corrections and any information obtained from other sources, e.g. past performance information. The SSEB will not consider any proposal incorporated by reference, except as expressly allowed by this solicitation.

8.2 EVALUATION

8.2.1. The SSEB will evaluate the proposals and assign a consensus rating for each evaluation factor and subfactor. Offerors are cautioned to put forth their best efforts for the Phase 1 submission, and to furnish all information clearly to allow the Government to determine their performance capability. Offerors should not assume that they will have an opportunity to clarify or correct anything in their proposal after submitting it in response to Phase 1.

8.2.2. The Government reserves the right to allow proposal corrections, if deemed necessary to determine the most highly qualified offerors to shortlist for Phase 2.

8.2.3. The Contracting Officer, independently exercising prudent business judgment, will select up to five (5) of the most highly qualified offerors to short-list for Phase 2.

8.3 DEFINITIONS

8.3.1. Deficiency

A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

8.3.2. Weakness

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

8.3.3. Significant Weakness

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

8.3.4. Strength

Any aspect of a proposal that, when judged against a stated evaluation criterion, enhances the merit of the proposal or increases the probability of successful performance of the contract.

8.3.5. Significant Strength

A significant strength appreciably enhances the merit of a proposal or appreciably enhances the probability of successful contract performance.

8.3.6. 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.

8.4 EVALUATION AND RATING SYSTEM

8.4.1. General: The Government will review the proposals and rate the quality of each evaluation factor and subfactor (if any). The SSEB will rate each proposal against the specified evaluation criteria in the Solicitation requirements. They will not compare proposals at this time. After all proposals are rated, the Government will compare the ratings and relative advantages and disadvantages of proposals against each other in order to determine which Offerors are the most highly qualified under Phase 1 to short-list for participation in Phase 2.

8.4.2. 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.

8.4.3. Rating System: After listing proposal strengths, weaknesses and deficiencies, the SSEB will assign an adjective rating of “Outstanding”, “Good”, “Acceptable”, “Marginal”, or “Unacceptable” to each factor and subfactor (except those factors rated as GO/NO-GO and except for the Past Performance Factor), which reflect the Government's confidence in each offeror's technical ability, as demonstrated in its proposal, to perform the requirements stated in the RFP. The adjectival ratings shall be assigned, using the following criteria, which incorporate a proposal risk assessment:

8.4.3.1. Outstanding: Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

8.4.3.2. Good: Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low..

8.4.3.3. Acceptable: Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

8.4.3.4. Marginal: Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

8.4.3.5. Unacceptable. Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies.

Proposal is unawardable.

ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT

ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT

(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.
