SECTION 00100A

SOLICITATION PROVISIONS

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

The award will be made on the basis of Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process (See Federal Acquisition Regulation 15.101-2). In the lowest price technically acceptable selection process interested Offerors submit certain specified performance and capability proposals in conjunction with price proposals for review and consideration by the Government. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than "Acceptable" must be achieved for all non-priced factors/subfactors.

B. FACTORS AND SUB-FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

FACTOR 1 – TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY: Technical Acceptability consists of Sub-factor 1 Demonstrated Experience.

Sub-Factor 1 – Demonstrated Experience

FACTOR 2 – PAST PERFORMANCE

FACTOR 3 – PRICE: The Price factor is not rated.

C. EVALUATION APPROACH

All proposals will be evaluated on a technically acceptable source selection basis. Each proposal will be evaluated, based on the non-cost factors defined above, and deemed technically acceptable or not technically acceptable. Prices will then be evaluated to determine fair and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.402(a). Award will be made to the Offeror who submits the lowest priced proposal that is determined to be technically acceptable.

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 and/or qualification. In this solicitation, the words “offer” and “proposal” are used interchangeably. (See 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.

W912EP-16-R-0019 Section 00100A-2 Amendment 0004

Proposal Evaluation

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Source Selection Authority later determines them to be necessary. Further, if the Source Selection Authority determines that discussions are necessary and if the Source Selection Authority determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Source Selection Authority may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

D. PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS AND SUBMISSION FORMAT

The offeror’s proposal shall be submitted in hard copy, with accompanying digital copy, see Paragraph 999.215-4003, Section 00100. The RFP shall provide the Government address and receipt date for proposal submittal.

The proposal shall be divided into volumes as indicated below. Each set of volumes shall be submitted sealed separately. Each volume shall be marked with the offeror’s name, the solicitation number, the volume number and stamped with “Original” or “Copy.”

Each respective original or copy shall be separately bound or placed in a three- ring binder.

All proposals shall contain the evaluation requirements stated herein and every binder shall also contain: Table of Contents, List of Tables (if required), List of Figures (if required), List of Appendices, and Name/Address/Telephone Number/e-mail address of the Offeror. Proposal clarity, organization, and cross-referencing are mandatory. No material (information not part of proposal) shall be incorporated by reference. The offeror shall submit in the proposal the requested information specified herein.

*In accordance with Paragraph 999.215-4003 - Electronic Proposals, Section 00100, submit one electronic copy that contains both volumes (Technical Acceptability and Price).

FACTOR 1 (VOLUME ONE) – Technical Acceptability Package (1 Original, 2 Copies)

Sub-Factor 1 Demonstrated Experience

DO NOT INCLUDE PRICING INFORMATION IN THE TECHNICAL MERIT

PROPOSAL.

W912EP-16-R-0019 Section 00100A-3 Amendment 0004

FACTOR 2 (VOLUME TWO ONE) – PAST PERFORMANCE (1 Original, 2 1 Copies Copy)

FACTOR 3 (VOLUME TWO) – Price and Price Related Information (1 Original, 1 Copy)

FACTOR 1 – TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY

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, equipment, and experience required to meet or exceed the terms and conditions of these specifications, and the ability to successfully accomplish and complete the project within the required time frame specified in the solicitation.

In accordance with the non-substitution clause in Section 00800 (999.215-4001), Limitations on Substitutions for Certain Positions and/or Subcontractors, a letter of commitment must be provided for any proposed major subcontractor and key personnel.

A major subcontractor is defined as any subcontractor that is crucial for the successful completion of the project.

A letter of commitment is defined as a letter from the subcontractor on official Company letterhead (1) addressed to the prime contractor, (2) identifying the work they intend to perform, and (3) stating that they are willing to be bound to perform the identified work if the prime receives this contract.

Failure to provide a letter of commitment, as defined above, from a proposed major subcontractor will deem the proposal not technically acceptable.

Sub-factor 1 – Demonstrated Experience

Submission Requirements

Provide two (2) examples of projects completed or at least 70% physically completed within the last six (6) years (measured from the date of this solicitation) which demonstrate that the Offeror and its team members' (i.e. major subcontractors) have experience in performing work on Dredged Material Management Areas (DMMA’s), earthen dike construction or large scale earthen compacted embankments.

A completed project is defined as work performed under a “project” that is physically complete and has been accepted by the customer.

Any demonstrated experience (to include subcontractors) provided here for consideration in this sub-factor, should also have a corresponding submission in the Past Performance factor.

W912EP-16-R-0019 Section 00100A-4 Amendment 0004

Using Attachment 1, provide a detailed narrative that explains how each provided demonstrated experience is similar to the work described in the solicitation. Additional pages may be used as necessary to provide required detail. This narrative should emonstrate that the offeror clearly has the capability to successfully complete the project.

Demonstrated experiences provided should include the location/conditions, duration, dollar value, any unusual coordination requirements as well as any problems encountered and corrective action taken to successfully complete the project. Each project identified must include a contract number, a current reference contact name, address and telephone number, as well as email address if available.

If any portion of the work provided as demonstrated experience is subcontracted, clearly identify that work as such and provide the required experience of that subcontractor as it relates to work the subcontractor is performing. In accordance with the non-substitution clause in Section 00800, Paragraph 999.215-4001, Limitations on Substitutions for Certain Positions and/or Subcontractors, provide a letter of commitment using Attachment 2 for any subcontractor for whom demonstrated experience is provided.

A letter of commitment is defined under Factor 1. Failure to provide a letter of commitment from a proposed major subcontractor will render the proposal technically unacceptable.

Any demonstrated experience (to include subcontractors) provided here for consideration in this sub-factor, should also have a corresponding submission in the Past Performance factor. If Past Performance information is not provided for a demonstrated experience, that demonstrated experience will not be evaluated.

Evaluation Method In responding to this sub-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 successfully construct a Dredged Material Management Area (DMMA). The Offer must provide two (2) separate projects completed in the last six (6) years as described above to be considered technically acceptable.

FACTOR 2 – PAST PERFORMANCE

Submission Requirements

Offerors shall submit one NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire (see Attachment 3), 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 – Demonstrated Experience. If a project submitted under sub-factor 1 was completed by the offeror’s major subcontractor, the offeror is responsible for coordinating with their major subcontractor and submitting a completed NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance

W912EP-16-R-0019 Section 00100A-5 Amendment 0004

Questionnaire on their major subcontractor’s behalf. All pages of each NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire must be initialed and dated on the bottom right-hand corner by the POC. If a Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS) or a Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) record is available for any of the projects submitted under Sub-factor 1-Demonstrated Experience, the CCASS or CPARS record may be submitted in lieu of the completed Past Performance Questionnaire or an official Performance Evaluation from the owner.

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 CCASS or CPARS records contained in the CCASS or CPARS database for the offeror or offeror’s major subcontractors.

For each past performance submitted, explain why it is relevant to this project, this discussion should include a summary of the project description provided in the respective demonstrated experience submitted for Factor 1. Offerors should provide a narrative and be as specific as possible when explaining how a past performance is relevant to this project.

The following are examples of topics that should be discussed at a minimum:

timeliness, environmental issues, responsiveness to customer needs, quality control, cost control, change order work and compliance with safety requirements. Emphasis should be made on quality, customer satisfaction and the resolution of problems encountered during performance.

Evaluation Method

The evaluation of past performance will examine how well Offerors have performed on previous projects considering such criteria as quality, timeliness, safety, responsiveness to

W912EP-16-R-0019 Section 00100A-6 Amendment 0004 customer concerns, and adherence to budget. All Past Performance Ratings must be equivalent to the U S Army Corps of Engineers definition of “Satisfactory” or better to be considered acceptable.

A Satisfactory Rating is defined as: “Quality of final work is acceptable in an overall sense; however, it may have been necessary to get the firm to correct some unacceptable work.”

FACTOR 3 – PRICE AND PRICE RELATED INFORMATION

Submission Requirements

The offeror shall submit the following price and price related information:

a. Standard Form 1442 (Solicitation, Offer and Award) and Section 00010A (Line Items and Pricing Schedule) Include the completed Standard Form 1442 for the RFP, along with the completed Pricing Schedule. The total cost for the construction will be considered for evaluation, including all options and alternates (if applicable).

b. Section 00101, Representations, Certifications, and Other Statements of Offerors. In accordance with FAR Clause 52.228-1, Bid Guarantee, an original bid guarantee shall be submitted with each offer.

c. Proposal Data Sheet (Attachment 4)

d. Responsibility Determination (Attachment 5)

e. Joint Venture Agreement (If applicable)

Evaluation Method

Complete Attachment 4 Proposal Data Sheet. The proposal data sheet is not considered for evaluation but is required as part of the Offeror’s proposal.

After resolution of minor or clerical errors and/or mistakes, the Contracting Officer will perform a price analysis on all proposals received. Price analysis will be performed in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b), to determine fairness and reasonableness and the adequacy of the offer in fulfilling the requirements of the proposal. The price analysis will also check for the appearance of unbalanced line item prices. Additionally, offerors’ price proposals maybe evaluated for price realism to determine if there are proposals that are unrealistic low in terms of overall price or reflective of an inherent lack of management and/or technical competence or comprehension of the requirements.

Completeness addresses the extent to which the elements of the price proposal are consistent with the requirements of the RFP. Fairness, Reasonableness, and Realism will be established using historical price information, price competition information, the

W912EP-16-R-0019 Section 00100A-7 Amendment 0004

Independent Government Estimate (IGE), and any other pricing tools necessary.

Submittal of Section 00101 is not considered for evaluation, but is required as part of the offeror’s proposal of this solicitation. The information requested in this Section needs to be fully completed along with completion of Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) per FAR 52.204-8 ANNUAL REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS. The submitted information will be reviewed for completeness by Contracting Personnel.

Bid bonds will be reviewed for acceptability. Any offeror whose bid bond is unacceptable, will be eliminated without further consideration unless the Source Selection Authority/Contracting Officer later determines that discussions are necessary and decides that the offeror’s proposal should be included in the competitive range.

Use Attachment 5 to provide the information required for the Responsibility Determination.

In addition to other proposal information, the Contracting Officer shall use this information in making an affirmative responsibility determination for award to the Successful Offeror, in accordance with FAR Part 9.

E. Other General Review

System for Award Management

Offerors will be checked against the System for Award Management (SAM) system. Any offeror who is listed with any active exclusion will be eliminated without further consideration.

Minor Informalities

Proposals will be checked for minor informalities or irregularities. The Source Selection Authority/Contracting Officer will follow guidance at FAR 14.405 when resolving minor informalities or irregularities. The Source Selection Authority/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.

Joint Venture

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 review by Office of Counsel. The joint venture must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov 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.

http://www.sam.gov/

W912EP-16-R-0019 Section 00100A-8 Amendment 0004

Offerors are reminded that if it is an 8(a) or HUBZone joint venture, it shall ensure that it complies with the applicable requirements of 13 CFR Parts 124 and 126.

Price Analysis

Price will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness through the use of a price analysis. The Contracting Officer will conduct the price analysis in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b). The price analysis will also check for the appearance of unbalanced line item prices.

Prices will be reviewed for minor or clerical errors. If necessary, offerors will be afforded an opportunity to resolve any such errors. Any exchange with offerors under this subparagraph shall be for the purpose of clarification (FAR 15.306(a)) and shall not constitute negotiations as defined at FAR 15.306(d). In the event of discrepancy between a unit price and the extended amount, the unit price shall be controlling.

Prices will be reviewed for apparent mistakes. Should this review reveal any prices that seem unreasonably low, the Contracting Officer will contact the offeror and ask the offeror to confirm the questioned price. If the offeror confirms the price, no further action will be taken under this subparagraph. If, however, the offeror alleges a mistake, the offeror may modify the proposal in accordance with FAR 52.215-1(c)(6). Any modification submitted for the purpose of correcting a mistake shall include documentation explaining how the mistake was made.

After resolution of minor or clerical errors and/or mistakes, prices will be reviewed for reasonableness, unbalanced pricing, or any other price related issue that could pose an unacceptable risk to the Government or indicate the offeror does not clearly understand the requirement at hand in accordance with FAR 15.404-1 (b). Therefore, offerors are advised that their business decision to submit a low-priced proposal can be considered in assessing their understanding or the risk associated with their proposal.

ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT

THE EVALUATION OF THE CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating.

Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good

Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory Performance meets minimum contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

W912EP-16-R-0019 Section 00100A-15 Amendment 0004

(M) Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

(U) Unsatisfactory

Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable

No information or did not apply to your contract

Rating will be neither positive nor negative.

1.2.1 Project Description

The project consists of constructing an upland dredged material management area (DMMA O-7) on a 77-acre tract of former agricultural land located in Martin County, Florida. The disposal area dikes shall be constructed using fill material excavated from within the containment basin footprint. The finished dike crest elevation will be approximately 15 feet above existing grade. Twin steel-framed box riser weirs with composite weir boards shall be constructed to provide the site decant water system. The containment basin will be surrounded by a perimeter access road and perimeter ditch.

Project work also includes clearing and grubbing, fencing, access road construction, drainage structures, and slope protection.

1.2.2 Location

DMMA O-7 is located near Stuart, Florida approximately 1,000 feet north of the Okeechobee Waterway (OWW) channel in the vicinity of the St. Lucie Lock. The site property is surrounded on the west and north by commercial agricultural land and on the south and east by land held by the South Florida Water Management District and the Army Corps of Engineers.

1.6.1 Established Project Control

The Government has established monuments along the work site(s). Each monument is represented in the contract drawings by a Designation and in most cases, an alphanumeric Permanent Identifier (PID). Information concerning the location and elevations can be found within the Survey Notes on the plan sheets. The Survey Notes for each included field survey will cite a particular survey number, and specify the control used to conduct that survey. Additional information is included in the Survey Notes that must be duplicated if an attempt to recreate the subject survey is desired.

See Section 00 31 21 CONTROL MONUMENT DESCRIPTIONS.

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 3 Amendment #0004

1.6.2 Layout

From the monuments, control data and elevations established by the Government, the Contractor shall complete the layout of the work and shall be responsible for all measurements that may be required for the execution of the work to the location and limit marks prescribed in the specifications or on the contract drawings, subject to such modifications as the Contracting Officer may require to meet changed conditions or as a result of necessary modifications to the contract work.

1.6.3 Survey

The Contractor shall furnish, at his own expense, such stakes, templates, platforms, equipment, tools and material, and all labor as may be required in laying out any part of the work from the monuments, control data and elevations established by the Government. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to maintain and preserve all stakes and other marks established by the Contracting Officer until authorized to remove them, and if such marks are destroyed by the Contractor or through his negligence, prior to their authorized removal, they may be replaced by the Contracting Officer, at his discretion, and the expense of replacement will be deducted from any amounts due or to become due the Contractor. The Contracting Officer may require that work be suspended at any time when location and limit marks established by the Contractor are not reasonably adequate to permit checking of the work.

1.7 DAMAGE TO WORK

The responsibility for damage to any part of the permanent work shall be as set forth in Clause PERMITS AND RESPONSIBILITIES of Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES in Volume 1. However, if, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, any part of the permanent work performed by the Contractor is damaged by flood, earthquake, hurricane, or tornado, which damage is not due to the failure of the Contractor to take reasonable precautions or to exercise sound engineering and construction practices in the conduct of the work, the Contractor will make the repairs as ordered by the Contracting Officer and full compensation for such repairs will be made at the applicable contract unit or lump sum prices as fixed and established in the contract. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, there are no contract unit or lump sum prices applicable to any part of such work, an equitable adjustment pursuant to Clause CHANGES of Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES in Volume 1 will be made as full compensation for the repairs of that part of the permanent work for which there are no applicable contract unit or lump sum prices. Except as herein provided, damage to all work (including temporary construction), utilities, materials, equipment and plant shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer at the Contractor's expense, regardless of the cause of such damage.

1.8 LOCATION OF UNDERGROUND FACILITIES

1.8.1 Notification Prior to Excavation
