SECTION 00100A

SOLICITATION PROVISIONS

A. ELIGIBILITY FOR CONTRACT AWARD

In accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), no contract shall be entered into unless the Contracting Officer ensures that all requirements of law, executive orders, regulations, and all other applicable procedures, including clearances and approvals, have been met. This includes the FAR requirement that no award shall be made unless the Contracting Officer makes an affirmative determination of responsibility. To be determined responsible, a prospective contractor must meet the general standards in Part FAR 9 and any special standards set forth in the solicitation.

B. SOURCE SELECTION USING LOWEST PRICE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE (LPTA)

The LPTA process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition because the best value is expected to result from selection of the lowest evaluated price proposal with acceptable non-priced proposal (Technical and Past Performance).

In order to permit efficient competition, the following methodology will be utilized. The Government will evaluate the proposals beginning with the proposal with the lowest price to the highest price until it reaches the first responsive and responsible Offeror who achieves Acceptable ratings in both non-priced factors. Prices will then be evaluated to determine fair and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(a). That Offeror will be selected for award and the remainder of the proposals will not be evaluated.

If discussions are deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer, all proposals both price and non-priced will be evaluated for the purpose of establishing a competitive range.

C. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The solicitation requires the evaluation of: Price (Factor 1) and the Non-Price Factors: Specialized Technical Experience (Factor 2), and Past Performance (Factor 3)

In order to permit efficient competition, the following methodology will be utilized. Proposals will be placed in order of price (lowest price to highest price). Prices will then be evaluated to determine fair and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(a). The Government will evaluate the proposals beginning with the proposal with the lowest price to the highest price until it reaches the first responsive and responsible Offeror who achieves acceptable ratings in all non-priced factors/sub-factors. That Offeror will be selected for award and the remainder of the proposals will not be evaluated. Award will be made to the offeror who submits the lowest priced proposal that is determined to be technically acceptable. To be considered technically acceptable, an Offeror’s proposal must be rated “Acceptable” under all non-priced factors and sub-factors.

Magnitude of Construction: The estimated cost of this project is between U.S. $10,000,000.00 and $15,000,000.00.

The Primary NAICS code is 237990 with a small business size of $36.5 million.

D. PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS, AND FORMAT

The Government will not reimburse any costs incurred or associated with preparation and submission of any responses to this solicitation. Oral explanations or instructions to Offerors are not binding. Any information given to an Offeror which impacts the solicitation and/or offer will be given in the form of a written amendment to the solicitation. In accordance with Paragraph 999.204-4003, Section 00100 of the Solicitation, any and all amendments to the solicitation will be distributed via the Federal Business Opportunities website. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to acknowledge any and all amendments in its proposal submission.

Offerors should not modify the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the price or non-priced proposal or add conditions, exceptions, or qualifications to their offers. Should an Offeror include terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, that offer may be determined to be Unacceptable for award. Any questions related to specific terms and conditions contained within the solicitation should be submitted via Bidders Inquiry in ProjNet by not later than (NLT) the date specified in Section 00010A, Attachment A, Instructions For Technical Inquires and Questions, prior to submission of an offer. Notwithstanding the above, the Offeror must clearly describe in its proposal (Price and Non-Priced) any modifications to the contractual terms and conditions of the solicitation contained in its offer.

Offerors that include information in their proposals they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, must clearly mark their proposals in accordance with the instructions at FAR clause 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors-Competitive Acquisition, paragraph (e), Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Data, in Section 00100 of the Solicitation.

Offerors shall place the following notification on the bottom of each page of their proposals: “SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION – SEE FAR 2.101 AND 3.104. DO NOT DISCLOSE ANY SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION

TO ANY UNAUTHORIZED PERSON.”

Use of the words “will”, “shall”, or “must” indicates a mandatory requirement for which failure to comply, at the time and date for submission of proposals, shall result in the Offeror’s proposal being disqualified from consideration for award, unless the Government elects to established a competitive range and initiate discussions, thereby providing a means by which appropriate corrections by the Offeror(s) involved can be made. Failure to comply with pricing or non-pricing requirements that are annotated with the words “should” or “may” can result in an Unacceptable rating.

1. REQUIRED REGISTRATIONS

Failure to have an active and completed registration in System for Award Management (SAM): http://www.sam.gov/ database will determine an Offeror ineligible for award and removed from competition. An Acceptable offer with incomplete or expired registrations at the time of award may not be eligible for a contract. In such instances, the Government will award to the next Acceptable offer who is eligible for award.

Information contained within an Offeror’s registration must be current and valid. The responsibility of maintaining current information contained in an Offeror’s registration rests solely on the Offeror.

If an Offeror is a joint venture (JV), the JV entity must have a valid registration representing the JV as one business/firm/entity; this is applicable to SAM. The Government will not accept separate registrations and licenses for each separate entity representing the JV.

2. PROPOSAL CONTENT

The Offeror’s proposal shall be submitted in hard copy, with accompanying compact disc (CD), see Paragraph 999.215- 4003, Section 00100. The RFP shall provide the Government address and receipt date for proposal submittal.

Information required with an Offeror’s priced and non-priced factors and sub-factors are described under Basis of Award and Evaluation Factors.

Offerors are required to submit proposals with the content specified herein. Proposals without the specified content may be determined Unacceptable and removed from the competition. The Government will not make assumptions concerning intent, capabilities, or experiences. Clear identification of proposal details shall be the sole responsibility of the Offeror.

The Government reserves the right to reject incomplete proposals after initial evaluation without further consideration.

The proposal shall be divided into volumes as indicated below. Each set of volumes shall be submitted and 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.

John Vohlken Contract Specialist

E. DEBRIEFING OF UNSUCCESSFUL OFFERORS

The Contracting Officer will ensure Offerors are debriefed, if requested, in accordance with FAR Subparts 15.5.

F. BASIS OF AWARD

Subject to the provisions contained herein, award will be made to one (1) Offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR; who conforms to the solicitation requirements; provides the lowest evaluated price and whose proposal, judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation criteria and other considerations specified in this solicitation, meets the technically acceptable standard for the non-price factors. Prices will be evaluated to determine fair and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(a).

To be considered acceptable (non-priced factors), no non-priced factors/subfactors in the proposal may be rated as “unacceptable”. The failure of a proposal to meet all of the requirements under any non-priced factor/sub-factor will result in an unacceptable rating and precluded from award.

In order to permit efficient competition, the following methodology will be utilized. Proposals will be placed in order of price (lowest price to highest price). The Government will evaluate the proposals beginning with the proposal with the lowest price to the highest price until it reaches the first responsive and responsible Offeror who achieves acceptable ratings in all non-priced factors/sub-factors. That Offeror will be selected for award and the remainder of the proposals will not be evaluated.

The Government intends to award a contract without discussions, but reserves the right to hold discussions if the Government determines that to do so would be in its best interests. If discussions are deemed necessary by the Source Selection Authority/Contracting Officer, all proposals will be evaluated for the purpose of establishing a competitive range.

Joint Ventures: A joint venture is defined as a legal business entity formed between two or more companies to undertake the performance activities of a contract together.

Offerors proposing as joint ventures shall provide evidence that the joint venture as a legal entity has been duly formed.

Joint ventures shall include a copy of the legal joint venture agreement signed by an authorized officer from each of the firms comprising the joint venture, with the chief executive of each entity identified. The Government will not evaluate the capability of any firms that are not included in the joint venture agreement.

If submitting a proposal as a joint venture, the experience of each of the joint venture partners can be submitted for the joint venture entity. The experience of either joint venture partner will be considered the experience of the joint venture entity. Page and project form limits apply to the joint venture as a whole, i.e., a submission limitation of three (3) projects under the experience factor is not an allowance of three (3) projects for each of the joint venture partners. Prospective Offerors that submit proposals may not change their joint venture firms, if selected for award.

Subcontractors: If any portion of the work provided under Factor 3 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 proposed to be used. Prime contractor will not be allowed to substitute a subcontractor’s experience for its own; unless the subcontractor will be a team member in this requirement.

G. EVALUATION FACTORS

1. FACTOR ONE – PRICE

Submission Requirements

The Offeror’s volume for this factor shall be fully completed. Offeror completeness addresses the extent to which the elements of the price proposal are consistent with the requirements of the RFP.

This volume will also include 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.

c. In accordance with FAR Clause 52.228-1, Bid Guarantee (Original bid guarantee).

d. Attachment 4, Proposal Data Sheet.

e. Attachment 5, Determination of Responsibility.

Evaluation Method:

Price is not rated. It will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness through the use of a price analysis in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b). The price analysis will also check for the appearance of unbalanced line item prices.

Additionally, Offerors’ price proposals may be evaluated for price realism to determine if there are proposals that are unrealistically low in terms of overall price or reflective of an inherent lack of management and/or technical competence or comprehension of the requirements. 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.

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.

NON-PRICE EVALUATION FACTORS

2. FACTOR TWO - SPECIALIZED TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE

SUB-FACTOR A - Successfully completed a project (as a prime contractor or subcontractor), within the last 10 years, of similar size, scope, and complexity with regards to fabrication of cable-connected articulated mats, concrete/rock structures or similar reef-replicating structures for marine installation to submerged seabed in open coastal water.

SUB-FACTOR B – Successfully completed projects (as a prime contractor or subcontractor), within the last 10 years, of similar size, scope, and complexity containing at least two of the criteria below:

a. Structural reparation or enhancements of submerged reef environments or marine structures in open coastal waters.

b. Transport, handling and ocean transport of heavy structural materials for marine installation or salvage.

c. Seabed installation and/or salvage of marine structures in exposed nearshore water (10 to 50+ ocean depth), with controlled placement location/layout/salvage of the structure to or upon the seabed.

d. Diving services for control and inspection of structural installation, repair or salvage to or upon the seabed in open or turbid coastal waters.

SUB-FACTOR C – Successful completion of projects with past performance records for the cited projects in question 1 & 2 demonstrating that projects were completed with a CCASS or CPARS or Questionnaire rating of rating of Average or better with no individual categorical rating of unacceptable.

NOTE: It is not necessary that all the sub-factors above be performed on the same project.

Submission Requirements

Factor 2 contains four Sub-Factors; all sub-factors must receive an “ACCEPTABLE RATINGS” be considered for award.

In responding to Factor 2, the objective is to demonstrate to the technical evaluators that the offeror clearly has the capability to successfully complete the project by explaining in detail how the provided Relevant Technical Experience demonstrates experiences that are similar to the work described in the solicitation.

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. Failure to provide sufficient detail explaining how each provided demonstrated experience is similar to the work described in the solicitation may be noted as a significant weakness. This narrative should demonstrate that the offeror clearly has the capability to successfully complete the project. Please note, in all likelihood, the technical evaluators are unfamiliar with the demonstrated experiences that offerors provide; this is why a lack of detail explaining the work and how it is similar to the work described in the solicitation may be considered a significant weakness.

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 proposed to be used.

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 from a proposed major subcontractor will be noted as a significant weakness.

If any portion of the work provided as demonstrated experience was performed by the Parent Company and/or subsidiary of the offeror, clearly identify that work as such and provide the required experience of the Parent Company and /or Subsidiary as it relates to work the Parent Company and/or subsidiary will be performing on the requirements described herein. Using Attachment 2, provide a letter of commitment, as defined above, from the proposed Parent Company and/or subsidiary of the offeror, if such company will be part of the Contractor’s team. The letter shall be on the Parent Company and/or subsidiary letterhead.

Projects submitted must be completed or 80% physically completed within the last ten (10) years from the date of this solicitation.

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.

The offeror shall provide a minimum of three but not more than five projects completed or 80% physically complete.

However, if the offeror provides more than 5 projects; only the first 5 projects in sequential order will be reviewed. All other projects will not be evaluated. The projects shall demonstrate the offeror’s and its team members’ (i.e. Major subcontractors) experience for each sub-factor.

Note: Do not submit more than five projects in response to each sub-element, as no additional consideration or evaluation will be given for the submission of more than five projects for each sub-factor. The Offeror must provide three (3) no more than five (5) projects which they completed or 80% completed in the last ten (10) years (measured from the date of this solicitation) which demonstrate that the Offeror as the Prime and its team members' (i.e. major subcontractors) have experience in performing work on projects with Drilled Shafts. The Prime must have completed or 80% completed a minimum of two (2) of the projects provided as demonstrated experience.

Evaluation Method

The purpose of the technical factor is to assess whether the Offeror’s proposal will satisfy the Government’s minimum requirements. This factor will be rated on an Acceptable or Unacceptable basis.

The Government will only review three (3) construction projects. Any projects submitted in excess of three (3) for Specialized Technical Experience will not be considered.

3. FACTOR THREE - PAST PERFORMANCE

DEFINITIONS:

The Offeror shall demonstrate recent and relevant experience on same or similar civil construction projects to that of the solicitation requirements using the Demonstrated Experience Form (Attachment 1).

Recent is defined as: Civil construction projects that are substantially complete (at least 80% construction progress completed) or completed and turned over no later than ten (10) years preceding the date of the solicitation advertisement date.

Same or similar is defined as civil construction projects having the following:

Size: A project with a contract value of at least $5,000,000.00. All submitted project experience must meet the size requirement.

Scope: A project requiring a similar level of activities and complexity as stated in Factor Two (2).

Joint Venture: If the Offeror is a joint venture, the projects must have been performed by the Joint Venture submitting the offer.

A major subcontractor is defined as any subcontractor that has been identified under Factor 3. Additionally, a major subcontractor can be identified as one that is crucial for the successful completion of the project.

A letter of commitment is defined as a letter from a major 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 from a proposed major subcontractor will cause any non-priced factor to be rated Unacceptable, if applicable.

Submission Requirements:

Offerors shall submit one NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), (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 Factor 2. If a project submitted under Factor 2 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 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. Failure to provide a completed and signed NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire for each project as described above may cause this Factor to be rated Unacceptable. 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 Factor 2, the CCASS or 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 PPQ 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.

Evaluation Method:

Past Performance. The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the Offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the Offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements.

All Past Performance Ratings must be equivalent to the US Army Corps of Engineers definition of “Satisfactory” or better to be considered, “Acceptable.”

Past performance shall be used as an evaluation factor within the LPTA process. Therefore, past performance will be rated on an “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” basis using the ratings.

Past performance should be initially evaluated to determine whether the Offeror’s present/past performance is recent, and relevant or not relevant to the effort to be acquired. The criteria to establish what is recent and relevant shall be unique to each LPTA source selection. Therefore, the solicitation shall establish the criteria for recent and relevant in relation to the specific requirement being procured. In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, consideration should be given to what aspects of an Offeror’s contract performance history would give the most confidence that the Offeror will satisfy the requirements of the contract that is contemplated to be awarded as a result of the evaluation of proposals in the current procurement.

The past performance evaluation should determine how well the Offeror performed on the prior contracts. The past performance evaluation performed in support of a current source selection does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the Offeror’s past performance on past contracts; rather, the past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the Offeror performed those past contracts.
