EVALUATION AND SUBMISSION

PROPOSAL EVALUATION AND CONTRACT AWARD

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

The MATOC and Task Order 0001 awards 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 MATOCs will be awarded for a three-year base period with a two-year option period. 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 $2,500. The minimum Task Order value is $2,000 and the maximum Task Order value is $5,000,000. The Government intends to award up to five (5) 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 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 requirement is for repair and maintenance of real property and construction services to included new construction and renovation to large civil works projects including flood control and hydroelectric dams, river navigation facilities, maintenance and office facilities, roadways and recreational facilities, and river levees. Specific work may include a combination of design, construction and/or repair within the Northwestern Division (NWD) Walla Walla District (NWW), Portland District (NWP), Seattle District (NWS), Kansas District (NWK), Omaha District (NOW) project sites.

The government will initially evaluate offerors’ proposals submitted in response to Phase One (1) of this solicitation. After evaluation of Phase One, the government will select up to seven (7) of the most highly qualified firms to submit Phase Two (2) proposals. Upon the conclusion of Phase One (1), the solicitation will be amended to include the Phase Two (2) evaluation factors including price and the scope of work for the first Task Order that will be awarded along with the MATOC IDIQ contracts. Phase One (1) submissions and evaluations will not be carried over into Phase Two (2). All offerors selected to propose for Phase Two (2) will be evaluated only on the Evaluation Factors outlined in the Phase Two RFP. PHASE ONE (1) DOES NOT INVOLVE ANY SUBMISSION OF PRICING INFORMATION. Phase Two (2) of the solicitation will include the informational plans (floor plan, cross section, and elevation), Statement of Work, and the specifications for the first Task Order. The estimated construction magnitude for the first Task Order is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. A site visit may be conducted during Phase Two (2). Phase Two (2) offerors will have a minimum of 30 days to submit their proposals.

Phase Two (2) evaluation factors are as follows:

Factor 1- Design Factor 2 – Work Plan Factor 3- Project Management Factor 4- Price

During Phase Two (2), the government will provide submission requirements and specific information pertaining to the Phase Two (2) evaluation factors which will be based on the requirements for Task Order 0001. Additionally, the relative importance of the Phase Two (2) factors both to each other and to price will be identified in the Phase Two (2) solicitation.

All offerors selected as most highly qualified and invited to Phase Two (2) source selection will be required to submit a proposal from 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 (2) source selection will render the proposal unawardable both for the seed project and the overall MATOC.

The government may award the MATOC contracts and the first Task Order 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 (1) and the Evaluation Factors that will be provided in more detail for Phase Two (2). 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.

The ratings and descriptions will also be used in the evaluation of all Phase Two factors except for price. Phase One, Factor 3, Past Performance is evaluated based on a performance assessment confidence rating and is described in detail under paragraph D Past Performance Factor below.

Combined Technical/Risk Ratings Adjectival Rating

Definition

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 unawardable.

D. PHASE ONE FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

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 projects completed in the last ten (10) years or at least 50% complete at the time proposals are due. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s depth and breadth of experience on different types of relevant design capability and construction types. The Government will evaluate a minimum of three projects but no more than five projects for each prime contractor and designer and a minimum of two but no more than three projects for each major subcontractor (Mechanical, Structural, Electrical, Civil) as listed by the offeror on Attachment A, Experience Overview Sheet and as further described on Attachment B, Experience Information Form.

Projects described in the below paragraph will be considered more relevant and rated more favorably if:

Projects wherein the design was facilitated for the end user/customer from design concept through 100% design completion including construction of the design; projects that demonstrate experience with multiple civil works type construction trade categories; and Projects with previous teaming experience between the offeror and proposed team.

The combined experience demonstrated by the submitted projects must address the following (a-c):

a. “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 state licensed Architect Engineer (A-E); participate in design review; and accomplish full construction of the designed project.

b. Projects will be considered relevant if they:

1. Are valued at $250,000 or larger; and

2. Collectively the projects submitted must include general construction and/or design service requirements similar to the following construction or repair on:

Civil systems may include: waterstop installation, potable & wastewater systems, underground utilities, drainage culverts, geotechnical exploration and testing, hillside stabilization stream bank stabilization, irrigation systems, paving, striping, site fencing, and river levee rehabilitation.

Structural/architectural systems may include: structural concrete, structural frames (including steel, aluminum, FRP), machinery supports and seismic bracing, hydraulic steel structures (primarily metal fabrication and machining), Corps of Engineers paint systems (including vinyl), fall protection systems, pre-engineered buildings, manufactured buildings tbuilding interior renovation, elevators, roofing, waterproofing, firestop systems, building exterior envelope renovation.

Electrical systems may include: Information & Communication

Technology (ICT), fiber optic, motor control, instrumentation & controls (e.g. PLC, SCADA), commercial/industrial lighting, fire & security systems, low and medium voltage distribution (at most 15KV), lightning protection, and Variable Frequency Drives (VFD).

Mechanical systems may include construction or repair of the following systems: fire protection, HVAC, pumping (less than 100 HP), compressed air, hydraulic power systems (less than 50 HP), cranes and hoists (less than 10 tons) and general/industrial plumbing.

c. 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.

Offerors shall 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, Design Quality Control Manger, Contractor Quality Control 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.

Combined Technical/Risk Ratings Adjectival Definition

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 requirement and risk of unsuccessful performance is no works than moderate.

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

Unacceptabl e

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

FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE

The government will evaluate and assess the offeror’s (and proposed team’s) record of performance on relevant projects to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the efforts of the MATOC scope of work. Past performance is the degree of success, in terms of quality, timeliness, customer satisfaction, management effectiveness, safety and other items important for success on prior relevant projects. From this information, the government will determine an overall performance confidence assessment regarding the offeror’s likelihood of success on the task orders to be issued under the MATOC. In the event an offeror lacks any record of relevant past performance, the offeror’s past performance will be evaluated neither favorably nor unfavorably and will receive an Unknown Confidence (neutral) rating. Data submitted for evaluation of past performance shall not extend past ten (10) years prior to the issue date of the solicitation but may include performance data generated during the past six years without regard to the contract award date. The government will consider Past Performance Questionnaires, interviews, CPARS, and any other sources available to it regarding past performance for this factor. CPARS data is limited to the past 6 years. Offeror’s should provide additional performance data for projects beyond 6 years.

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.) assessment and performance confidence assessment.

a. RELEVANCY ASSESSMENT. The government will utilize the four levels of relevancy identified in the table below to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the offeror is to the scope of anticipated work under this MATOC. For this procurement, relevancy is defined as projects that are valued at $250,000 or larger; and included general construction and/or design service requirements similar to the listing of relevant jobs under Factor 1, section B, item 2 of this solicitation.

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

Somewhat Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this

Not Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

b. PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT. The government will assess the quality of the offeror’s past performance by determining how well the contractor performed on the contracts evaluated as relevant. Based on this assessed quality, the government will arrive at a performance confidence assessment for the offeror, selecting the most appropriate rating from the chart below.

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 factor of past performance

Limited Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/ relevant performance record, the Government has low expectation that the offeror will be able to 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.

c. 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.
