Request for Capability Statement. This procurement is for Architect & Engineering (A-E) services and will be procured in accordance with (IAW) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 36.6, A-E Services procedures and Selection of A/E Statute.

The U.S. Army Engineering and Support, Huntsville Center (CEHNC) intends to procure four (4) suites of a firm, fixed-price (FFP), Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) for General A-E Services (GAES). Work will be issued by negotiated firm-fixed-price or labor-hour task orders. The Period of Performance (POP) is a one (1) year base with four (4) one-year options, for a total of five (5) years. The total IDC contract value shall not exceed a shared capacity $49 million. The small business size standard for NAICS 541330 is $15M. The Government’s minimum obligation shall not exceed the minimum guarantee of $1,000.00 for the life of each contract. The capacity will be shared between all four categories and there will be one statement of work (SOW) for the entire IDC.

When CEHNC conducted market research to maximize small business usage, many A-E forms showed relevant experience in multiple Functional Areas; therefore the A-E services will be divided into four (4) categories covering (7) Functional Areas (FAs). There is not an incumbent for this requirement.

THIS NOTICE IS FOR CATEGORY 4 ONLY (see Project Information).

VI. SELECTION CRITERIA. The source selection process for this acquisition will evaluate the following primary selection criteria, which are listed in descending order of importance. The Government reserves the right to reject any and all offers.

A. PRIMARY SELECTION CRITERIA

Criteria Description

Criteria 1 Specialized Experience & Technical Competence

Criteria 2 Professional Qualifications

Criteria 3 Past Performance

Criteria 4 Capacity

Criteria 5 Knowledge of Locality

1. Criteria 1: Specialized Experience & Technical Competence

1.1 AE Firms competing in the unrestricted category will submit eight (8) projects that demonstrate the proposed team’s recent and relevant experience in in general military facility cost engineering/estimating. AE Firms competing in the small business category will submit five (5) projects that demonstrate the proposed team’s recent and relevant experience in in general military facility cost engineering/estimating.

1.2 Key projects may be performed by the prime contractor, joint-venture partners, or key subcontractors that are being proposed as team members on this proposal. A key subcontractor is defined as a subcontractor where there is a demonstrated history of project partnership where they have performed (and are anticipated to perform) at least 20% of the overall effort on a project.

1.3 The Offeror shall provide a sufficient amount of information to allow for a clear evaluation of the items listed below.

1.4 A summary of the overall project may be submitted, however, the material shall be clear to highlight the specific work that the proposing team directly performed for each project.

1.5 Each project will be submitted using SF330 Part I, Section F form (no more than one (1) page) per project.

1.6 The A-E Firm should not submit a base contract IDC as a project example.

For a submitted project to be considered ‘recent’, it must have been completed within the last five

(5) years. This does not include the completion of any associated construction projects, only the completion date of the portion of the project related to FA6, General Military Facility Cost Engineering/Estimating. Otherwise, the key project will not be considered ‘recent’ and will not be acceptable for further evaluation.

1.7 Relevancy of key projects will be evaluated in terms of: project complexity, customer and project type (of equal importance).

a. Project complexity: Large, complex projects will be more relevant than smaller, less complex projects. Projects related to the design of new facilities will be considered more relevant than projects that are part of the design of additions, alterations, or renovations of existing facilities.

b. Project types: Projects demonstrating experience in cost estimation and cost engineering associated with design and construction of new facilities or major renovations will be deemed more relevant than those associated with facility sustainment, restoration, and modernization projects. Projects demonstrating experience with the use of Tri-Service

Automated Cost Engineering Systems (TRACES) will be deemed more relevant than projects where these systems are not used. The TRACES modules include the following:

Micro-Computer Aided Cost Estimating System Second Generation (MII):

Parametric Cost Estimating System (PACES)

Cost Book/Unit Price Book (UPB

Area Cost Factors (ACF)

Historical Analysis Generator (HII)

Cost Risk Analysis (Crystal Ball)

c. Customer: DOD projects will be considered more relevant than other federal and private sector projects. Other federal projects will be considered more relevant than private sector projects.

2. Criteria 2: Professional Qualifications

Using SF330 Part I, Section E, the Firm shall submit two (2) resumes for each of the following key personnel:

i. Project Manager

ii. Cost Engineer

It is requested that the Firm not submit any resumes beyond what is being requested. It is recommended instead that the personnel be reflected in the organization chart with appropriate certifications/registrations annotated.

2.1 The Cost Engineers should have at least 8 years’ experience in the field of cost engineering and shall be certified as either a Tri-Service Certified Cost Engineer (CCE) or Tri-Service Certified Cost Consultant (CCC) and/or an Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) Certified Cost Professional (CCP) or Certified Estimating Professional (CEP). A cost engineer with both a Tri- Service Certification and AACE Certification will be looked upon more favorably than a cost engineer with only a Tri-Service Certification or an AACE Certification.

2.2. The submitting A-E Firm shall provide a Certificate of Authorization, equivalent certification, or (otherwise) a letter explaining why the firm may, by law, practice architecture and/or engineering in at least one state, territory, or jurisdiction of the United States as required by FAR 36.601-4(b).

2.3. The A-E firm shall submit a matrix that demonstrates each key person and the key project that they have participated in using SF330 Part I, Section G.

2.4. The A-E firm shall submit an organization chart of the proposed team that clearly demonstrates the team and organizational relationships among key personnel, delineates responsibility, and identifies for which firm each person directly works. This org chart should be no greater than 11x17 and may not exceed one (1) page using SF330 Part I, Section D.

2.5. The Government will evaluate the relevant experience and career longevity of the key personnel relative to the scope of this requirement with greater consideration given to the key personnel team who has: (1) had a longer career of having specialized in relevant projects and (2) demonstrated a history of having worked together on the key projects listed.

a. Lack of a Certificate of Authorization will constitute non-responsiveness and will constitute an unsatisfactory rating for this criteria.

2.6. Criteria 1, 2, 4 and 5 will be evaluated using the following adjectival rating methodology:

COMBINED TECHNICAL/RISK RATINGS

Color Adjective Description

Blue

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.

Purple

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.

Green

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.

Yellow

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.

Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is un-awardable.

3. Criteria 3: Past Performance

3.1 Past Performance will be evaluated primarily upon official information available about the key projects that have been submitted under the Specialized Experience & Technical Competence criteria.

3.2 For key projects performed for the U.S. Government, the A/E Firm shall provide a copy of the final signed performance evaluation from the A/E Firm Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). For non-Federal Government projects, the A/E Firm must solicit Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) to be completed by a customer representatives who was directly involved in the oversight of the firm’s work. These questionnaires must include instructions to send the responses directly to the Contracting Officer responsible for this acquisition. The PPQs document that should be used is located in Appendix A.

3.3 The government reserves the right to evaluate past performance evaluation information from any other relevant sources for recent and relevant projects performed by the prime A/E Firm, key sub-contractors and joint venture partners. The Government may elect to consider any credible and reliable information obtained from other sources. In the event that adverse past performance information is obtained from the PPQ or other sources, the firm will have the opportunity to respond to any adverse information received which it had not had a previous opportunity to comment.

3.4 The Government will evaluate the Offeror's likelihood of success in performing the solicitation's requirements and delivering high quality products and services as indicated by that Offeror's record of past performance.

a. In this context, “Offeror” refers to the proposed prime contractor and its proposed key subcontractors. The prime contractor(s) and proposed key subcontractor(s) will be assessed individually, and the results will then be assessed in their totality to derive the Offeror’s Past Performance rating.

b. For prime contractors or key subcontractors whose firms are divided into severable segments

(i.e. division, group, unit, etc.) the past performance will only be evaluated as it relates to those segments of the firm(s) that will actually perform the work.

3.5 Past Performance references will be reviewed to determine the relevancy of the past performance information. Past performance must have occurred within the five years prior to the closing date of this solicitation and be similar in scope and complexity to be considered relevant. The evaluation will use four levels of relevancy as shown in the Table below. More relevant past performance will be treated as a stronger predictor of future success and will therefore have more influence on the overall performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

PAST PERFORMANCE RELEVANCY RATINGS

Rating Description

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.

Past Performance will be evaluated using the following adjectival rating methodology:

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 Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

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.

4. Criteria 4: Capacity

The A-E firm should provide a logical narrative explanation (with charts or other aids as necessary) to analytically demonstrate their capacity to perform the following additional workload above and beyond other work projected to be performed during the period of performance of this IDC. This information will be provided in SF330 Part I, Section H.

4.1 For firms proposing as large (unrestricted) businesses:

a. Provide specific details on your current and projected capacity to perform the ADDITIONAL workload of two (2) relevant task orders with a total combined fee of $700k over a 6-month period.

b. Provide specific details on your current and projected capacity to perform the ADDITIONAL workload of a single task order with a fee of $1M over a 12-month period.

4.2 For firms proposing as small businesses:

a. Provide specific details on your current and projected capacity to perform the ADDITIONAL workload of two (2) relevant task orders with a total combined fee of $300K over a 6-month period.

b. Provide specific details on your current and projected capacity to perform the ADDITIONAL workload of a single task order with a fee of $500k over a 12-month period.

More consideration will be given to firms who can effectively demonstrate a greater capacity to effectively handle additional workload.

5. Criteria 5: Knowledge of Locality

The A-E firm shall provide a logical narrative explanation (with charts or other aids as necessary) to demonstrate their familiarity with having worked (or ability to work) in multiple geographic locations. This information will be provided in SF330 Part I, Section H.

5.1. Greater consideration will be given to the A-E firms with the capability to perform work in diverse locations rather than only having experience in one geographic area due to the geographical diversity anticipated of the task order requirements.

5.2. If two (2) or more firms are technically equal, the secondary criteria will be used as “tie-breakers” and the final ranking of firms decided.

SECONDARY SELECTION CRITERIA

The table below shows secondary criteria in descending order of importance includes:

Criteria Description

Criteria 6 Small Business and Small Disadvantaged Business Participation

Criteria 7 Volume of DoD Contract Awards

6. Criteria 6: Small Business and Small Disadvantaged Business Participation
