SECTION 00 21 00 - INSTRUCTIONS

The following have been modified:

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

The award will be made based on the best overall (i.e., best value-tradeoff) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, based on an integrated assessment, with appropriate consideration given to the five (5) evaluation factors: Technical Experience; Schedule; Past Performance; Small Business Participation; and Price.

Factor 1, Technical Experience is more important than Factor 2, Schedule, Factor 3, Past Performance, and Factor 4, Small Business Participation. Factor 2, Schedule is equally as important as Factor 3, Past Performance and both are more important than Factor 4, Small Business Participation. When combined, the non-price factors (Factors 1, 2, 3, and 4) are significantly more important than Factor 5, Price.

The following paragraphs B through E cover the Factors to be evaluated, the evaluation approach for each Factor to include factor rating tables, proposal submission requirements and final discussion guidance.

B. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each proposal.

1. FACTOR 1 – Technical Experience

Risk will be evaluated as one aspect of the technical evaluation, inherent in the technical evaluation factor ratings. Risk assesses the degree to which the offeror’s proposed technical approach for the requirements of the solicitation may cause disruption of schedule, increased price, degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, or the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance.

Evaluation of the offeror’s proposal shall address the factor as it applies to the scope of work. A detailed explanation of the criteria for the evaluation is set forth in the Evaluation Approach, Paragraph C of this section.

During evaluations of each proposal, the Government will assign each factor an adjectival rating and write a narrative evaluation reflecting the identified findings.

2. FACTOR 2 – Schedule

Risk will be evaluated as one aspect of the technical evaluation, inherent in the technical evaluation factor rating. Risk assesses the degree to which the offeror’s proposed technical approach for the requirements of the solicitation may cause disruption of schedule, increased price, degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, or the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance.

3. FACTOR 3 – Past Performance

Each offeror’s current and past performance will be reviewed to determine relevancy and confidence.

4. FACTOR 4 – Small Business Participation

The extent of Small Business Participation will be evaluated for unrestricted acquisitions.

5. FACTOR 5 – Price

The resulting award will be a firm-fixed price contract. Price reasonableness will be utilized in the evaluation of the proposal.

C. EVALUATION APPROACH

All proposals will be evaluated by the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB). The following sections define the information to be provided and describe how the information for each factor and will be evaluated and rated.

1. The overarching evaluation approach for all factors is as follows:

a. Adequacy of Response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offerors methods and approach have adequately and completely considered, defined, and satisfied the requirements specified in the RFP. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which each requirement has been addressed in the proposal in accordance with the proposal submission section of the RFP. Marginal levels of overall detail could indicate a lack of understanding concerning the requirements and may result in the entire factor receiving an unfavorable rating and/or being eliminated from the competitive range.

2. Factor 1 Technical Experience

Proposals will be evaluated to determine experience with mechanical and electrical industrial installation relevant with the scope and complexity required in the solicitation. Offerors shall provide sufficient information to clearly demonstrate the breadth and depth of the Offeror’s (and major subcontractor’s) electrical and mechanical industrial installation experience. Major subcontractors are defined as members of an offeror’s overall team who are expected to perform ten (10) percent or more of the proposed effort. The Offeror shall also submit the written consent of its major subcontractors to allow the disclosure of its subcontractor’s technical experience to the Offeror. In addition, signed letters of commitment shall be included for all major subcontractors for their technical experience to be considered. Proposals shall conform to the solicitation requirements, to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required of this solicitation.

Offerors shall submit the following for Factor 1:

Offerors must demonstrate electrical industrial installation experience and mechanical industrial installation experience by providing no more than five (5) projects performed within the last ten (10) years, which collectively demonstrate all the elements identified below. Individual projects that include all elements will be considered more favorable. If a subcontractor is proposed, the proposal will be considered more favorable if the proposal contains evidence of the prime and subcontractor working successfully together previously on relevant projects, than an offer with a prime and subcontractor with no prior experience working together on relevant projects. If a joint venture is proposed, the proposal will be considered more favorable if the proposal contains evidence of the firms working successfully together previously on relevant projects, than an offer with a joint venture with no prior experience working together on relevant projects.

I. Electrical Industrial Installation Experience Elements:

• At least 80% physically complete at the time of proposal submission. If project is not complete, provide documentation such as an invoice, letter from the owner, PPQ response or CPARS to demonstrate 80% physically complete.

• Complete equipment upgrade of at least a 500 KVA system that collectively include the following:

o 480V switchgear, motor control centers, panelboards and motors.

o Installation and programming of Human Machine Interface (HMI) and Programmable

Logic Controllers (PLC) for motor controls.

• Contractors shall be rated more favorably if work included the following:

o Medium voltage equipment removal or installation .

o Installation work involving temporary 480V motor power and control measures.

o Installation of 3 phase, medium voltage, dry-type transformers.

• Use Attached “Offeror Experience Form” to describe the projects in which the Offeror has relevant installation experience. Project experience shall include adequate detail to demonstrate the relevancy of the scope of work for comparison to that required in this solicitation.

II. Mechanical Industrial Installation Experience Elements:

• At least 80% physically complete at the time of proposal submission. If project is not complete, provide documentation such as an invoice, letter from the owner, PPQ response or CPARS to demonstrate 80% physically complete.

• Installation of vertical turbine or centrifugal pumps that have a minimum capacity of 3,500gpm.

• Installation of a minimum 12” diameter steel piping and isolation control valves.

• Contractors shall be rated more favorably if the installation included the following:

o Installation of work occurred in hazardous environments such as confined spaces or in the presence of fall hazards.

o Installation work that required diving within boat restricted zone of hydroelectric plant.

o Installation work involving water diversion and temporary pumping control measures.

• Use Attached “Offeror Experience Form” to describe the projects in which the Offeror has relevant installation experience. Project experience shall include adequate detail to demonstrate the relevancy of the scope of work for comparison to that required in this solicitation.

3. Factor 2 Schedule

This factor evaluates the offeror’s understanding of the required scope of work and evaluates the offeror’s ability to complete all requirements within the period of performance. Proposals shall conform to the solicitation requirements to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this solicitation.

Offerors should assume for evaluation purposes, a Notice To Proceed (NTP) date of 31 January 2023.

Offerors shall submit the following for Factor 2:

I. Provide a schedule that shall reflect the planned activities, order of major tasks identified, task dependencies and durations proposed to successfully accomplish the entire project from notice to proceed to final commissioning, and contract close-out. At a minimum, the schedule shall include the following:

a. Pre-Construction Submittals submitted/approved within 60 calendar days from NTP being issued.

b. Compliance with Work and Operational Restrictions Specification (01 14 00.02 28) and acknowledgement of outage requirements in the 52.211-10 COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK clause.

c. List all major subcontractors with their respective role and responsibility to complete all major tasks.

Refer to the requirement for a letter of commitment for subcontractors in submission requirements for Factor 1.

d. Explain the communication process between different crews, subcontractors, and managers, including the superintendent, project manager, safety officer and quality control personnel. Include an organization chart to show the communication channels.

TECHNICAL FACTOR RATINGS: Ratings outlined below focus on strengths, deficiencies, weaknesses, risks and uncertainties of the offeror’s proposal. The rating depicts how well the offeror’s proposal meets the Technical subfactor requirements.

Technical Factor Ratings

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 non-awardable.

4. 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 the contractor performance and source of information).

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the scope of work. Proposals shall conform to the solicitation requirements to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this solicitation.

a. The Government will focus its inquiries on the offeror’s (and major subcontractor’s) 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. The Offeror shall also submit the written consent of its major subcontractors to allow the disclosure of its subcontractor’s past performance information to the Offeror. In addition, signed letters of commitment shall be included for all major subcontractors for their past performance to be considered.

Offerors are reminded to include the most recent and relevant efforts (within the past ten years) in their proposal. Absent any recent 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 a “neutral confidence rating” and its proposal will not be evaluated 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 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) 237990, Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction. Data submitted by the offeror or gathered from other sources by the government in conducting performance risk assessments shall not extend past ten years prior to the issue date of the request for proposal, but may include performance data generated during the past ten years without regard to the contract award date. CPARS data is limited to the past 6 years.

Offeror’s shall provide additional performance data for projects beyond six years.

b. Offerors should submit all Government and/or commercial contract numbers and descriptions for the prime offeror and each major subcontractor in performance or awarded during the past ten years, from the issue date of this request for proposal, which are relevant to the efforts required by this solicitation.

c. The past performance factor considers each offeror’s demonstrated current and relevant past record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the contract requirements.

d. 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.

e. RELEVANCY: The Government will conduct a performance assessment based on the relevancy of the Offeror's current and past performance, as well as that of its major subcontractors, as it relates to the probability of successful accomplishment of the required effort. These efforts include all aspects of schedule, performance and customer support, including the Offeror’s submitted subcontracting plan for this project 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 subcontractors; and 7) Compliance with subcontracting plans submitted on previous projects.

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

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.

f. 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 evaluations conducted gathers information from 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.

g. PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT: The final step is for the team to arrive at a single consensus performance confidence assessment for the offeror. Because this source selection requires a greater level of discrimination with the past performance evaluation, evaluators shall use the ratings in the chart below. This rating considers the assessed quality of the relevant/current efforts gathered (documented results from Past Performance Questionnaires, interviews, CPARS, and other sources form the support and basis for this assessment). Ensure the rationale for the conclusions reached are included.

Performance Confidence Assessments

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 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.

5. Factor 4 – Small Business Participation Proposal

Other than small business offerors will be evaluated on the level of proposed participation of small business concerns in performance of this acquisition (as small business subcontractors) relative to the objectives and goals established herein. Small business contractors may achieve small business participation goals through their own performance/participation as a prime and also through a joint venture, teaming arrangement, and subcontracting to other small businesses.

The government will evaluate:

a. The extent to which such firms, as defined in FAR Part 19, are specifically identified in proposals;

b. The extent of commitment to use such firms. The proposal will be rated more favorably under this factor if it contains an enforceable commitment in the form of a signed letter of commitment (LOC);

c. Identification of the complexity and variety of the work small firms are to perform;

d. The extent past performance is in compliance with FAR 52.219-8 “Utilization of Small Business” and maximizing opportunities for U.S. Small Business Subcontractors.

e. The extent to which the offeror meets or exceeds the goals. The goals for this procurement are:

• Total Small Business (any type of small business) 5% of the total contract value (the sum of all CLINs);

• Subcategory Small Business o Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) 0.5% of the total contract value;

o Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) 0.5% of the total contract value;

o Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) 0.5% of the total contract value;

o Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) 1% of the total contract value;

o Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) 0.5% of the total contract value;

Small Business Participation Factor Rating Definitions:

Small Business Participation Factor Ratings

Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet small business objectives. Proposal is non-awardable.

6. Factor 5 – Price

Offerors must submit completed Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) with unit price, quantity, and extended price.

All extensions of the unit prices shown will be subject to verification by the Government.

An evaluation will be performed on the proposed prices. The evaluation will not be assigned an adjectival rating.

However, it will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.305 and FAR 15.404.

a. Completeness - To be complete, the Offeror must provide all data that is requested and necessary to evaluate the price. The Government will assess the extent to which the proposed prices comply with the content and format requirements set forth in this solicitation.

b. Reasonableness - The Offerors proposal is evaluated through price analysis techniques as described in FAR

Subpart 15.305(a) (1) and 15.404-1(b). For price to be reasonable, it must represent a price that provides best value to the Government when consideration is given to prices in the market, (market conditions may be evidenced by other competitive proposals), and technical and functional capabilities of the Offeror. The Offerors price will be evaluated to determine if any are unreasonably high in relation to the anticipated work under the contract, as well as with current industry standards.
