PHASE 1 SOLICITATION PROVISIONS

A. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUIREMENT

SCOPE OF WORK: Building No. 109 is a 56,000 square-foot former airplane hangar now used as a DLA warehouse, originally built in the 1940s. The building enclosure consists of a steel joist and purlin roof framing system on steel columns with non-load bearing masonry exterior walls with a stucco finish system. Resting on the steel purlins are dimensional “2x” tongue & grove wood slats running perpendicular to the roof slope. The existing roof is a mopped aggregate over built-up roof system over a perlite board covering an older multi-ply built-up roof over the wood deck. The low slope warehouse roof sheds water to through wall scuppers and exterior downspouts. The building is historic in nature; therefore the Corps of Engineers will coordinate all exterior work with the State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPO) prior to commencement of design-build contract, and throughout the design phase of the project to obtain concurrence on final design. The work shall be located at Building 109, Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville, Florida.

The Contractor shall be responsible for the full design and construction of the roof replacement and other renovations for Building 109 to include window replacement and lightning protection. The scope of work for roof replacement includes the removal and lawful disposal of the existing warehouse roof system down to existing wood roof deck, inspection of the deck for possible repair or replacement and/or addition of attachment fasteners, and the installation of a new fully adhered, reinforced “fleece backed” TPO single-ply membrane roofing system. Roof replacement shall also include all new metal copings and flashings for existing north elevation parapet, a new parapet extension on the south parapet as shown on the Reference Drawings, replacement of existing scuppers, leader boxes and downspouts, repainting of existing downspout boots at grade, and replacement of roof edge flashing and flashing for any rooftop equipment to remain. Wood nailers and blocking shall be replaced with new prior to reflashing.

Provide new walkway pads provided by roofing manufacturer from points of roof access to all items requiring maintenance or inspection and as shown on drawings.

Replace two existing exterior roof access ladders and one interior roof access ladder.

Remove and replace roof access hatch. New hatch and ladders to comply with current code and OSHA 1026.1053 requirements. Provide 7’-6”H locking security panels on lower portion of new exterior ladders.

Remove all existing window systems in their entirety. Repair openings damaged during removal. Provide new window system and flashing in existing opening in accordance with the High Velocity Hurricane Zone section of the Florida Building Code. Windows shall not be operable. The exterior windows are required to match pattern and locations of existing windows.

Replace existing window protection wire where exists with new 2” x 2” 9 gauge wire protection

– color to match new exterior building color. Where window penetrations from items such as conduit exist, provide insulated metal infill panels in place of glazing at penetration. Provide

W912EP-16-R-0003 00100A-2 Amendment 0001 weather tight sealant at point of penetration. Metal panels and sealant color to match new window frame color.

All existing finishes including stucco and paint to be removed shall be treated with requirement set forth in 1.4.5 Environmental Requirements. Repair deteriorated stucco. Scrape and encapsulate all loose and flaking paint. Abate all loose paint and deleterious materials from exterior of building. Paint exterior walls to match the paint color and pattern of Building 110.

The copper exterior siding located at the north face of the building shall remain. Contractor shall take care to not damage and will be responsible for repair if damaged. Prepare and paint the overhead crane and rails.

The magnitude of construction for this project is estimated to be between $5,000,000.00 and $10,000,000.00. The estimated period of performance is 682 days.

B. BASIS FOR AWARD

The Contracting Officer will award one Firm Fixed Price contract to the responsible Small Business (SB) offeror whose proposal the Source Selection Authority determines conforms to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable with regard to pricing and whose proposal offers the best overall value to the Government, considering the price and non-price factors described herein.

The acquisition will utilize Two Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures (See FAR 36.303). A rating of Unacceptable for any Sub-factor will result in a rating of Unacceptable for the entire factor.

C. EVALUATION APPROACH

In Phase 1 of the 2 phase design-build selection procedure, interested firms or joint venture entities (referred to as “offerors”) submit certain specified performance capability proposals, demonstrating their capability to successfully execute the design-build construction contract resulting from this solicitation. The Government will evaluate the performance capability proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein and will short-list the Phase 1 offerors to a maximum of five of the most highly qualified offerors to compete for the design-build contract in Phase 2. The Phase Two solicitation will be prepared in accordance with FAR Part 15 and with phase two evaluation factors developed in accordance with 15.304.

The Government intends to make award without holding discussions with offerors. The Government reserves the right to hold discussions if the Contracting Officer/Source Selection Authority later determines them to be necessary. Therefore, offerors are encouraged to include their best terms and conditions in their offers for Phase 1 and Phase 2. By submitting an offer in response to this solicitation, Offerors are agreeing to comply with all terms and conditions contained in the solicitation. Unless the solicitation specifically invites the Offeror to submit exceptions, the Source Selection Authority/Contracting Officer may reject any offer that contains exceptions. In this solicitation, the words “offer” and “proposal” are used interchangeably. (See

W912EP-16-R-0003 00100A-3 Amendment 0001 definition of “offer” at FAR 2.101.) Except for any portions of the Offeror’s proposal incorporated into the resulting contract by specific reference, the terms and conditions included in the solicitation, including any amendments, shall take precedence over the offeror’s proposal.

D. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Firms formally organized as design-build entities, design firms and construction contractors that have associated specifically for this project, a consortia of firms or any other interested parties may submit proposals. Associations may be as joint ventures or as key team subcontractors.

Any legally organized Small Business offeror may submit a proposal. To qualify for Phase 2, the offeror or offeror’s subcontractor has to have currently or will acquire professional architects and engineers, registered in the appropriate technical disciplines and meet the requirements specified in Contract Clause, “Requirements for Registration of Designers”. All designs must be under the direct supervision of appropriately licensed professionals for each discipline involved.

Contractors submitting an offer as a joint venture must provide a written copy of the joint venture agreement with the initial proposal. The joint venture agreement must be signed by both parties and will be subject to agency review. Also, if the joint venture involves an 8(a) small business, the offeror shall submit evidence from the offeror’s SBA Servicing Agency that the offeror has notified and discussed the proposed joint venture with the appropriate SBA personnel. The joint venture must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) as a joint venture in order for an award to be made. In addition, the SF 1442 as well as all future documents (task orders, bonds, etc.) must be signed by both parties.

E. OTHER GENERAL REVIEW

Debarred List

Offerors will be checked in SAM to ensure there are no exclusions listed. Any Offeror who is listed with exclusions will be eliminated without further consideration.

Minor Informalities

Proposals will be checked for minor informalities or irregularities. The Contracting Officer will follow guidance at FAR 14.405 when resolving minor informalities or irregularities. The Contracting Officer either will give the Offeror an opportunity to cure any defect resulting from a minor informality or irregularity or waive the defect, whichever is to the advantage of the Government.

In responding to this factor, the objective should be to instill confidence that the offeror thoroughly understands the requirements and complexities of this project, has the knowledge, expertise and experience required to meet or exceed the terms and conditions of these specifications, and the ability to successfully accomplish and complete task orders that may be issued under this contract within the required time frames as specified in individual task orders.

SUB-FACTOR 1 – SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE

Specialized Experience -Submission Requirements

The prime contractor and the design firm(s) (or prime contractor if design is to be self-performed) shall each demonstrate recent, relevant experience on projects that are similar in nature, magnitude, and complexity to the work described in this solicitation, using Construction

– Specialized Experience form – (Attachment 2), and Designer – Specialized Experience Form – (Attachment 3) at the end of the section. Offerors may identify projects that are similar to the types listed below in Relevant Specialized Experience. If the offeror is a joint venture, each firm shall provide information, demonstrating experience relevant to their role on this project. Submit projects that are currently well underway or completed and turned over no longer than ten (10) years preceding the date of this Solicitation. A well underway project is defined as 100% designed and at least 80% construction progress completed. If a project is presented and has not been completed, the offeror shall explain which elements of the work are not completed and the completion percentage. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division or unit submitting the offer or by the team member. Design firms may list prime contractors they have worked for or government, private or commercial

W912EP-16-R-0003 00100A-5 Amendment 0001 customers. If projects presented for specialized experience were design build, the offeror should identify the design firm(s) utilized.

Using the Construction – Specialized Experience Form, the offeror shall submit a minimum of three (3) projects similar to the types listed in Relevant Specialized Experience below. The maximum number of submitted projects that will be evaluated is five (5) projects within the last 10 years. If more than 5 projects are submitted, only the first 5 projects will be evaluated. Note:

Additional space may be used with both Attachments 2 and 3 to adequately describe submitted projects.

Using the Design – Specialized Experience Form, the offeror shall submit a minimum of three

(3) projects similar to the types listed in Relevant Specialized Experience described below. The maximum number of submitted projects that will be evaluated is five (5) projects for the entire proposed design team. .

At least one window replacement project submitted must include 3,000 square feet or more of replacement/installation of high velocity hurricane resistant windows on a multi-story building. At least one project submitted must include windows and roofing on the same project.

Specialized Experience – Evaluation Criteria

The Government will evaluate the extent of recent, relevant experience of the prime contractor and design firms in design, construction or design-build, as relevant to their role on this project.

The design firm(s) or the design capabilities of the prime contractor will be evaluated only for experience similar to the projects described in Relevant Specialized Experience. Higher evaluation ratings will be given for construction projects examples which are similar in function, scope, complexity, and size to this solicitation and clearly demonstrate the offeror’s abilities to execute the projects successfully while maintaining cost and schedule. In addition, this criterion will be evaluated for the quantity and quality of experience demonstrated. The greater the relevance and the more recent the prior project experience, the higher the rating assigned during evaluations. Demonstration of experience in completing projects that had the unique characteristics of the proposed project will be evaluated more favorably.

Submitted projects that demonstrate experience with all of the types of work listed in Relevant Specialized Experience on a single project may receive higher evaluation ratings.

W912EP-16-R-0003 00100A-6 Amendment 0001

Higher evaluation ratings will be given for projects where the contractor has previously worked with the Designer.

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 inherently more important than non-Federal Government project experience.

The Offeror must submit the requested information to demonstrate a record of recent, related experience in both design and construction, for projects that are similar to the Relevant Specialized Experience (which may include similar state or local government or private counterparts) included in this solicitation. Recent experience includes projects well underway (see above criteria) or those completed and turned over within ten (10) years of the proposal issue date for this solicitation for design or construction experience. Joint Venture partners should each demonstrate experience commensurate with their role on this project or explain in a detailed narrative how their experience qualifies them for their role on this project.

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.

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

(1) Nature, magnitude, and complexity and location

(2) Dates (80% completed or completed no more than ten (10) years preceding date of Solicitation)

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

Previous design-build (D-B) experience is not necessary for an acceptable rating. 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 demonstrating previous teaming, the more credit will be given.

The ability for contractor personnel to gain access to secure facilities to perform work is required (for example: RAPIDGate, or Transportation Workers Identification Card (TWIC)). Previous experience working on or in secure facilities is considered a strength. Previous experience working on or in occupied facilities is considered a strength.

W912EP-16-R-0003 00100A-7 Amendment 0001

The firm(s) or prime contractor preparing the design must demonstrate qualifications and experience in design considerations and development of designs of the types listed in Relevant Specialized Experience.

Previous relevant experience on projects for buildings that are considered to have historic significance may be considered a strength. Historic significance is define as listed on the historical register or eligible to be listed on the historical register.

W912EP-16-R-0003 00100A-12 Amendment 0001 following positions and/or items of subcontracted work: Subcontractors for roofing, windows, and electrical, Project Manager, Designer of Record, Architect, Historic Architect Electrical Designer of Record, Construction Quality Control Manager, Superintendent, Site Safety and Health Officer.

(End of paragraph number 999.215-4001)

Once the individual ratings for Sub-Factor 1, Specialized Experience, Sub-Factor 2, Organizational and Technical Approach, and Sub-Factor 3, Remaining Performance Capacity, are assigned, an overall Technical Merit Rating will be assigned

FACTOR 2- PAST PERFORMANCE

Submission Requirements:

Offerors shall submit one NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire (see Attachment 4), completed and signed by an Owner of the Project (Client) point of contact or “POC” for each of the projects submitted under Sub-Factor 1 – SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE and Sub-Factor 3 Remaining Performance Capabilities. All pages of each NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire must be initialed and dated on the bottom right-hand corner by the POC. Failure to provide a completed and signed NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire for each project as described above may be noted as a deficiency. If a Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) record is available for any of the projects submitted under Sub-Factor 1-Specialized Experience, and Sub-Factor 3 Remaining Performance Capabilities, the CPARS record may be submitted in lieu of the completed Past Performance Questionnaire or an official Performance Evaluation from a non-federal agency.

The Owner of the Project (Client) or “POC” is defined as the entity that took ownership of the project after construction was complete.

If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed Past Performance Questionnaire from the Owner of the Project (Client), before the proposal receipt date, the offeror shall complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the Questionnaire (Blocks 1-8) that contains contract and client information for the submitted project. Note: it is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure that the client’s point of contact information is current and correct. The client point of contact reflected in Blocks 1-8 should also be familiar with the past performance they are being asked to verify and informed that they will be contacted by the Government to verify past performance.

The Government reserves the right to obtain copies of all CPARS records contained in the CPARS database for the offeror or offeror’s major subcontractors.

Evaluation Method

The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. The assessment considers each offeror's demonstrated recent and

W912EP-16-R-0003 00100A-13 Amendment 0001 relevant past performances in supplying services that meet the solicitation requirements. There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation, recent, relevancy, and quality.

Recent is defined as projects that are currently well underway or completed and turned over no longer than ten (10) years preceding the date of this Solicitation. A well underway project is defined as 100% designed and at least 80% construction progress completed.

Relevancy evaluates whether the offeror’s past performance is relevant or not relevant to the effort to be acquired. The technical evaluation team will evaluate the demonstrated experiences provided by the offeror under Sub-Factor 1 and Sub-Factor 3 above. Relevancy will be determined based on the timeframe for project completion given under Sub-Factor 1 and Sub- Factor 3 and the level of similarity between the offeror provided demonstrated experiences and the solicitation requirements. For example, a demonstrated experience provided under Sub- Factor 1 or 3 that was completed within the last ten years (measured from the date of the solicitation) that involves essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities as this solicitation requires will most likely be given a relevancy rating of Very Relevant (see Relevance Rating Definitions below).

The third aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the contractor performed a specialized experience submitted in Sub-Factor 1 and Sub-Factor 3. This will be determined by utilizing the completed NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaires or submitted CPARS records. The POC provided on the NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire will be contacted to verify the past performance ratings provided. If the POC cannot be contacted, the past performance rating will be noted as “Unknown”. It is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure that the POC’s contact information is current (i.e. names, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses). The point of contact should be familiar with the performance they are intended to verify and be aware that they will be contacted by the Government.

Once Relevancy Ratings are assigned and Past Performance Ratings are verified, the Government will conclude the past performance evaluation with a performance confidence assessment. The performance confidence assessment will be based on the relevance of the projects provided and the ratings received based on the submitted and completed NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaires as well as CPARS if available. The performance confidence is the level of risk associated with the offeror as it relates to the probability that the offeror will successfully complete this project (see Performance Confidence Assessments Definitions below).

PAST PERFORMANCE RATINGS

Relevance Rating Definitions

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

W912EP-16-R-0003 00100A-14 Amendment 0001

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.

Performance Confidence Assessment Definitions

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 successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown 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.

PHASE 1 EVALUATION PROCEDURES

SOURCE SELECTION EVALUATION BOARD (SSEB)

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, 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.

EVALUATION

Each member of the SSEB will evaluate and rate the proposals independently and subsequently assign a consensus rating for each evaluation factor and sub-factor. Offerors are cautioned to put

W912EP-16-R-0003 00100A-15 Amendment 0001 forth their best efforts for the Phase 1 submission, and to furnish all information clearly to allow the Government to determine their performance capability.

The Source Selection Authority, independently exercising prudent business judgment, will select not more than five of the most highly qualified offerors to compete for the Design Build Construction award in Phase 2.

DEFINITIONS

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 considered a deficiency. The proposal must conform to the solicitation requirements for award.

EVALUATION AND RATING SYSTEM

General: The Government will review the proposals and rate the quality of each evaluation factor and sub-factor (if any). Each member of the SSEB will rate each proposal against the specified evaluation criteria in the Solicitation requirements. The technical rating assigned will reflect the degree to which the proposal meets or does not meet the minimum requirements through an assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies, and risks of a proposal. After all proposals are rated, the Source Selection Authority will determine which Offerors are rated as most highly qualified offerors under Phase 1 to short-list for participation in Phase 2.

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 sub-factor to reflect the Government's confidence in each offeror's technical ability, as demonstrated in its proposal, to perform the requirements stated in

W912EP-16-R-0003 00100A-16 Amendment 0001 the RFP. The adjectival ratings shall be assigned, using the following criteria, which incorporate a proposal risk assessment:

TECHNICAL MERIT RATING DEFINITIONS

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.

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.

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.

Marginal:

Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated and 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.

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.

PAST PERFORMANCE RATINGS

The past performance evaluation considers each offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in completing projects that are similar to the solicitation requirements. A relevancy rating of very relevant, relevant, somewhat relevant, or not relevant will first be assigned for projects submitted under specialized experience and past performance.
