A. BASIS FOR AWARD

The MATOC awards and Task Order 0001 will be made based on the best value to the Government by using the Best Value trade-off source selection process in FAR Part 15 and two-phase design-build procedures in FAR Part 36.3. The total contract dollar capacity shared among firms will not exceed $99,900,000. Any unused capacity in one period may be carried over into the subsequent contract period. The minimum guarantee amount for the entire life of the contract for each IDIQ awardee is $10,000. The minimum Task Order value is $2,000 and the maximum Task Order value is $20,000,000. The Government intends to award up to five IDIQ contracts to the offeror(s) whose proposal, conforming to the RFP, will be most advantageous to the Government resulting in the Best Value. Task Orders may be issued either as Design Build or Design-Bid Build projects. Task Orders will be primarily awarded on a firm-fixed price basis; however, task orders may be awarded on a Time and Materials (T&M) or Labor Hour basis if necessary to address unusual circumstances.

The government will initially evaluate offerors’ proposals submitted in response to Phase One of this solicitation. After evaluation of Phase One, the government will select up to five of the most highly qualified firms to submit Phase Two proposals. Upon the conclusion of Phase One, the solicitation will be amended to include the Phase Two evaluation factors including price and the scope of work for the first Task Order 0001 that will be awarded along with the MATOC IDIQ contracts. Phase One submissions and evaluations will not be carried over into Phase Two. All offerors selected to propose for Phase Two will be evaluated only on the Evaluation Factors outlined in the Phase Two RFP. PHASE 1 DOES NOT INVOLVE ANY SUBMISSION OF PRICING

INFORMATION.

Phase Two of the solicitation will include the informational plans (floor plan, cross section, and elevation), Statement of Work, and the specifications for Task Order 0001. The estimated construction magnitude for Task Order 0001 is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. A pre-proposal conference/site visit may be conducted during Phase Two. Phase Two offerors will have a minimum of 30 days to submit their proposals.

Phase Two evaluation factors are as follows:

Factor 1- Design Experience Factor 2- Project Management Factor 3 – Small Business Participation Factor 4- Price

During Phase Two, the government will provide submission requirements and specific information pertaining to the Phase Two evaluation factors which will be based on the requirements for Task Order 0001.

Additionally, the relative importance of the Phase Two factors both to each other and to price will be identified in the Phase Two solicitation. The seed project for phase two will be a rotating crane with a boom. All offerors selected as most highly qualified and invited to Phase Two source selection will be required to submit a proposal for all evaluation factors in order to be considered both for the seed project and to be a MATOC holder. Further, any deficiency in the Phase Two source selection will render the proposal unawardable both for the seed project and the overall MATOC.

The government may award the MATOC contracts and Task Order 0001 on the basis of initial offers received in Phase Two, without discussions; therefore, an offeror’s proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a technical and price standpoint.

The price proposal will not be assigned a rating for evaluation. The government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest prices offered. Awards will be made based on the proposals found to be the most advantageous to the government considering the technical and price proposals.

The government will evaluate offerors’ proposals based on how well the proposals address each of the Evaluation Factors provided below for Phase One and the Evaluation Factors that will be provided in more detail for Phase Two. The evaluation process includes an assessment of the offerors’ strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies, risks and uncertainties in addressing the government’s requirements as specified in the RFP.

B. SCOPE OF WORK

Task Orders will primarily be for providing new cranes, hoists and lifting devices, which may be a replacement, and the rehabilitation of various types of cranes, hoists and lifting devices at locks and dams. Project locations are within the states of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. The equipment will include but is not limited to the following:

• Overhead Bridge Cranes (typical capacity may range from 15 tons to 600 tons)

• Gantry Cranes (typical capacity may range from 15 tons to 480 tons)

• Underhung Monorail Cranes (typical capacity may range from 5 tons to 15 tons)

• Derrick/Pedestal Cranes (typical capacity may range from 10 tons to 200 tons)

• Below-the-hook devices

• Base/wall mounted jib hoists/booms

Rehabilitation work may consist of construction, repairing, replacing, and/or upgrading worn components of crane and hoist systems to make the equipment fully functional for support of mission requirements. Components may include lifting beams and/or lifting devices, hoist machinery such as wire rope drums, speed reducers and open gearing, load brake systems, motors, brakes, wire rope, load blocks, load indicating systems (load cells), structural repairs, crane rails, crane access/egress and safety upgrades, operator cabs, painting, control systems (including variable frequency drives (VFDs) and programmable logic controllers (PLCs)), warning/alarm systems, electrical systems, electric rail feeders, and may include similar crane projects that fall under NAICS 238290. Rehabilitation and replacement crane and hoist work may require analysis, design, and documentation of new and existing components, stability calculations, capacity uprating, load tests, supporting and securing structures, and crane components by registered engineers.

Activities may include removal of metals based paint (which includes lead), asbestos, and other hazardous material;

painting; final inspections and testing services; and classification/ marking of final product. Work areas may be difficult to access, requiring entrance of confined spaces, traffic control, construction of scaffolding, or facilitation of access by crane/lift.

Task orders may be Hybrid supply-construction, Design-Bid-Build or Design-Build in which the contractor is required to act as the Engineer of Record for the design and construction services. (See ER 1110-1-12, Paragraph 8- 2). Design-Bid-Build task orders may be performance and include plans and specifications detailing the performance metrics of the rehabilitation or replacement, for which the Contractor may be required to provide manufacturing, installation, testing, training, submittals for approval, and incidental design. Rehabilitation and replacement efforts may include some or all of the following: design, manufacturing, fabrication, supply, installation, testing, and certification. Logistic support of individual tasks will include spares determination and inclusion and statements of intended availability of spare parts by the original equipment manufacturer.

C. PHASE ONE FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

1. Evaluation Factors. The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each proposal. All three Phase One evaluation factors are of approximately equal importance.

FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE

FACTOR 2: TECHNICAL APPROACH

FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE

FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE

The Government will evaluate and assess the extent of an offeror’s relevant Construction and Design-Build experience and proposed team’s experience (design firm and major subcontractors) on crane and hoist projects completed in the last fifteen (15) years or at least 50% complete at the time proposals are due. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s depth and breadth of relevant crane and hoist design, manufacturing, and installation experience. The Government will evaluate no more than eight (8) projects. The combined experience demonstrated by the submitted projects must address the following:

1. All projects must exceed $750,000 with at least one submitted project exceeding $5,000,000; and

2. Design was facilitated for the end user/customer from design concept through 100% design completion including construction of the design

3. Two crane projects must demonstrate experience with large capacity (minimum of 50 tons) custom hoist and crane system rather than a packaged hoist system and crane components.

4. Include two examples of crane work to include both rehabilitation and new crane work as defined below. A minimum of one (1) example must be new. Projects must demonstrate experience for each of the following types of cranes:

• Overhead bridge cranes with a capacity of 50 tons or more;

• Gantry cranes with capacity of 50 tons of more;

Offerors including new cranes in which structure frame was fabricated by the proposed team will be considered more relevant and rated more favorably.

Offerors demonstrating experience with underhung monorail cranes with a capacity of 5 tons or more, fixed hoist machinery, derrick or pedestal cranes with a capacity of 10 tons or more will be rated more favorably.

Fully completed projects will be rated more favorably than projects that are substantially complete projects.

“Substantially complete” projects are defined as projects that are 100% designed and at least 50% construction progress.

Proposals including multiple new crane designs will be rated more favorably than those including mostly crane rehabilitation projects.

The following parameters apply for evaluation purposes:

“Design-Build” construction is defined as a civil-works type project in which the contractor is provided less than a full design and is required to: complete the design with a licensed Architect Engineer (A-E);

participate in design review; and accomplish full construction of the designed project.

“New” is defined as not as existing before or complete replacement of the entire crane to the tracks or support.

“Custom hoist and crane system” is demonstrated by design calculations and detail shop drawing development for custom designed hoist and crane systems that included but not limited to gantry frames, bridge crane, trolley frames, end trucks, speed reducer, gearing, hoist drums, and load blocks; where components are NOT commercial off the shelf items.

“Packaged hoist and crane system”: Example of packaged hoist and crane systems include but not limed to designs that only include component sizing of standard catalog items of commercial off the shelf components;

custom design calculation and detail shop drawings development are omitted.

Experience provided for proposed design firm and major subcontractors will only be evaluated if a letter of commitment is signed by each proposed firm and submitted with the proposal. A letter of commitment is not required if the offeror is a joint-venture and the firm is part of the joint-venture agreement.

FACTOR 2: TECHNICAL APPROACH

The government will evaluate and assess the offeror’s understanding of the requirements, feasibility of the proposed technical approach, and risks and mitigation in the execution of task order projects wherein the Government provides minimal or limited design consisting of informational drawings and functional/performance specifications. The purpose of this factor is to determine whether the offeror has appropriate understanding of the design-build process and is not intended to limit an offeror to any proposed technical solution or to allow an offeror to provide less than the minimum requirements for Phases One and

Two of the solicitation.

Based on your understanding of the MATOC scope of work, describe your technical approach for design-build task order projects wherein the Government provides minimal or limited design consisting of informational drawings and functional/performance specifications. This narrative shall not exceed fifteen

(15) pages. Pages in excess of this limitation will be removed and not evaluated by the Source Selection Evaluation Board.

Address the following areas in your technical approach to include any risks and the proposed approach for risk mitigation:

Organization. Provide an organizational chart showing the reporting structure and lines of authority for the proposed team key functions such as project manager, superintendent, lead designer, safety manager, and others.

Without identifying by name, describe the role of the key functional members during design and construction.

Cost effectiveness and expedited completion. Describe your process for providing a task order proposal that is cost-effective and will allow you to expedite completion of the project. Describe your approach to streamlining design and construction resulting in reduced costs and achievement of aggressive schedules with consideration to operational or environmental restraints.

Communication and coordination. Describe your communication and coordination approach within the design-build team, and with the government during the design and construction phases. Describe your approach to facilitate design and construction submittal reviews. Describe in detail the Designer of Record’s involvement throughout the entire project period.

Quality control. Describe your approach for quality control for both design and construction. Include:

quality control organization; review of design; verification of construction materials; construction inspection; permit compliance; project documentation; and change request process.

Technical Factor Ratings for Factors 1 and 2: ratings outlined below focus on the strengths, deficiencies, weaknesses, risks, and uncertainties of the offeror’s proposal. The rating depicts how well the offeror’s proposal meets the technical factor requirements.

Rating Description Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

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.

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

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

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 un-awardable.

FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE

There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation: Recency, Relevancy (including context of data) and Quality (including general trends in contractor performance and source of information).

a. The Government will focus its inquiries on the offeror’s (and major sub-contractors’) record of performance as it relates to all solicitation requirements, including price, schedule, performance, and management of sub-contractors. Major sub-contractors are defined as members of an offeror’s overall team who are expected to perform ten (10) percent or more of the proposed effort. Therefore, offerors are reminded to include the most current and relevant past performance efforts (within the past fifteen years) in their proposal. Absent any current and relevant past performance history or when the performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will be assigned an “unknown confidence rating” and its proposal will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance. The Government may use data provided by the offeror in its proposal and data obtained from other sources, including data in Government files or data obtained through interviews with personnel familiar with the contractor and their current and past performance under Federal, State or Local government or commercial contracts for same or similar services as compared to the North American Industry Classification System NAICS 238290, Other Building Equipment Contractors.

Data submitted by the offeror or gathered from other sources by the government in conducting performance risk assessments shall not extend past fifteen years prior to the issue date of the RFP, but may include performance data generated during the past fifteen years without regard to the contract award date.

CPARS data is limited to the past 6 years. Offeror’s should provide additional performance data for projects beyond 6 years.

b. Offerors should submit all Government and/or commercial contract numbers and descriptions for the prime offeror and each major sub-contractor in performance or awarded during the past fifteen years, from the issue date of this RFP, which are relevant to the efforts required by this RFP.

c. RECENCY; The Government will evaluate recency by examining the offerors’ record of past performance and to assess the time period during which the offeror’s past performance is considered relevant.

d. RELEVANCY: The Government will evaluate those aspects of an offeror’s history of contract performance that would provide the most context and give the greatest ability to measure whether the offeror will successfully satisfy the current requirement. This evaluation will include all aspects of the offeror’s execution of schedule, performance, customer support and subcontracting plan for these projects and the offeror’s record of: 1) Conforming to specifications and standards of good workmanship; 2) Maintaining program execution within price; 3) Adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; 4) Ability to resolve technical and manufacturing problems quickly and effectively; 5) Businesslike concern for the interest of its customers; 6) Establishing and maintaining adequate management of sub-contractors; and 7) Compliance with subcontracting plans submitted on previous projects.

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.

e. QUALITY: The third aspect of the past performance evaluation is to establish the overall quality of the offeror’s past performance. The quality past performance evaluation conducted gathers information from the offeror’s customers to determine how well the offeror performed those past contracts. This quality assessment will be reflected in the overall confidence assessment described below.

PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT: Because this source selection requires a greater level of discernment with the past performance evaluation, the SSEB shall use all ratings in the chart below and reach a single consensus performance confidence assessment for the offeror, selecting the most appropriate rating below. This rating considers the assessed quality of the relevant efforts gathered (documented results from Past Performance Questionnaires, interviews, CPARS, and other sources form the support and basis for this assessment). The rationale for the conclusions reached by the SSEB will be included in the SSEB report.

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…
