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 Acceptability). In order to permit efficient competition, the following methodology will be utilized. The Government will evaluate the proposals for technical acceptability. The lowest price technically acceptable will then be evaluated to determine fair and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(a). That Offeror will be selected for award.

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: Factor 1 - Technical Acceptablity, and Factor 2 - Price.

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” Factor 1 - Technical Acceptability and its sub-factors.

Magnitude of Construction: The estimated cost of this project is between U.S. $25,000,000.00 and $50,000,000.00.

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

W912EP-17-R-0014 00100A-2

the Federal Business Opportunities website. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to acknowledge any and all amendments in its proposal submission.

Offerors should not modi fy 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 no 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 modi fications 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 Systemfor Award Management (SAM):

http://www.sa m. go v/ 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.

Claurice M. Dingle Contract Specialist Claurice.M.Dingle@ usace.army. mil

E. DEBRIEFING OF UN SUCCESSFUL OFFERORS

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

F. BASIS OF AWAR D

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/sub-factors 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.

mailto:Claurice.M.Dingle@usace.army.mil

W912EP-17-R-0014 00100A-5

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 for technical and past performance acceptability. The lowest price technically acceptable proposal with acceptable past performance will then be evaluated to determine fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 15.404- 1(a). That Offeror will be selected for award.

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 1 is subcontracted, clearly identify that work as such and provide the required experience of that subcontractor as it relates to work the subcontractor will be performing for this requirement. 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. DEFINITIONS:

Joint Venture: 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.

A major subcontractor is defined as any subcontractor that has been identified under Factor 1.

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

W912EP-17-R-0014 00100A-6

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.

In addition, offerors are required to submit one (1) experience involving placement and instrumentation of mass structural concrete.

Ratings for this sub-factor are defined below:

NOTE 1: Do not submit more than two (2) projects for sub-elements A, B and D or more than three (3) projects for sub-elements C as no additional consideration or evaluation will be given for the submission of more than two (2) projects on sub-elements A,B and D and three

(3) sub-elements C and only two (2) projects for sub-elements A, B and D and three (3) projects for sub-element C will be evaluated.

W912EP-17-R-0014 00100A-11

Acceptable - Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable - Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Sub-Factor 2 – Past Performance

The projects submitted for Past Performance must have a corresponding submission under Sub- Factor 1 Demonstrated Experience.

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 performances that pertain to the solicitation requirements. There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation.

The first aspect of the past performance evaluation is to evaluate whether the offeror’s present/past performance is relevant or not relevant to the effort to be acquired. If a demonstrated experience submitted in Sub-Factor 1 is determined to be Acceptable, it will also be determined to be relevant and recent in this sub-factor.

The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the contractor performed a demonstrated experience submitted in Sub-Factor 1. This will be determined by utilizing the NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire at Attachment 2, CCASS records or official performance evaluation from a non-federal entity. The offeror must receive a past performance rating of Satisfactory or better to be considered technically acceptable.

A Satisfactory Rating is defined in the NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire.

Once relevancy has been determined and past performance ratings have been verified, a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable will be assigned based on the results. Offeror’s must receive a Past Performance rating of Acceptable for ALL submitted demonstrated experiences to receive and overall rating of Acceptable for this sub-factor.

Ratings for this sub-factor are defined below:

Acceptable - Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, (i.e. the offeror received a rating of Acceptable in Sub-Factor 1 and received a rating of Satisfactory or better from an offeror provided POC) or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable - Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. (i.e. the offeror DID NOT receive a rating of Acceptable in Sub- Factor 1 or the offeror DID NOT receive a rating of Satisfactory or better from an offeror provided POC).

Note: If an offeror’s provided NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaires cannot be verifiable with the POC, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past

W912EP-17-R-0014 00100A-12

performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

FACTOR 2 – PRICE

Submission Re quire me nts

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 M e tho d:

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.
