Amendment 0003

W912EP20R0033 00100A-1 Amendment 0003

Section 00100A - PROPOSAL PREPARATION/SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

A. BASIS FOR 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).

The Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (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 an acceptable non-priced proposal (Technical and Past Performance). The Government will evaluate the proposals for technically acceptability, but not ranked using two non-price factors, Demonstrated Corporate Technical Experience and Past Performance. These non-priced factors will be evaluated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis. In order to be considered awardable, there must be an "acceptable" rating in every non- price factor. The lowest price technically acceptable proposal will then be evaluated to determine price fairness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.404- 1(a). The Source Selection Authority (SSA)/Contracting Officer shall select the source whose proposal offers the lowest evaluated price and for which all non-price factors are rated as Acceptable in accordance with established criteria in the solicitation.

The Government reserves the right 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 Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. Further, if the Contracting Officer determines that discussions are necessary and if the Contracting Officer 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 Contracting Officer 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.

B. EVALUATION APPROACH

1. Overview

By submitting a proposal in response to this solicitation, offerors agree to comply with all terms and conditions contained in the solicitation. Unless the solicitation specifically invites the offeror to submit exceptions, the Contracting Officer may reject any offer that contains exceptions and or qualifying language. 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 reference, the terms and conditions included in the solicitation, including any amendments, shall take precedence over the offeror’s proposal.

To ensure the timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those criteria identified as evaluation factors. Proposals should be prepared simply and economically, and they should be straightforward and concise. The proposal should be practical, legible, clear, and coherent. Offerors are discouraged from providing information not required by the Request for Proposal (RFP). Offerors shall submit all requested information requested in the RFP. Failure to submit requested information or to meet

W912EP20R0033 00100A-2 Amendment 0003 an RFP requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award.

This RFP does not commit the Government to reimburse any costs incurred in the preparation and submission of a proposal or for any other costs incurred by any firm submitting a proposal in response to this solicitation.

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. All amendments to the solicitation will be distributed via the beta.sam website (www.beta.sam.gov). 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-price 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 ineligible 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.

a. 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 District Office of Counsel. The offeror shall ensure that it complies with the applicable requirements of 13 CFR Part 124 and 13 CFR Part 126, respectively. In addition, the joint venture must be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) as a joint venture in order for an award to be made. Also, the SF 1442 as well as all future documents (modifications, bonds and etc.) must be signed by both parties.

b. Proposal Evaluation Process

A Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) comprised of representatives of the Corps of Engineers will evaluate all proposals. The technical evaluation will be conducted in strict confidence. Non-price proposals will be initially reviewed and evaluated without knowledge of the corresponding price proposal. The number and identities of offerors will not be revealed to anyone who is not involved in the evaluation and award process, nor will this information be released to other offerors. Proposals will be evaluated based on the factors described herein, and the basis of award is the LPTA process.

2. Proposal Evaluation Approach

All proposals will be evaluated on the basis of the factors stated in the solicitation to award a contract. There will be no trade-offs performed. Award will be made to the offeror who submits the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal that conforms to the requirements of the solicitation. To be considered technically acceptable, an offeror’s proposal must be rated “Acceptable” under all non-price factors.

Proposal Evaluation: The Government reserves the right 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 Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. Further, if the Contracting Officer determines that discussions are necessary and if the Contracting Officer 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 Contracting Officer 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.

W912EP20R0033 00100A-3 Amendment 0003

Source Selection Decision: The Source Selection Authority (SSA), independently exercising prudent business judgment, will make the source selection decision based on the proposals that meet the requirements of the Government. The SSA will not receive a recommendation from any individual or entities to which offeror should receive the award and additionally will not receive a rank order or order of merit list pertaining to the offers being evaluated.

C. TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTORS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA

EVALUATION FACTORS

1. FACTOR 1 – 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. Proposal Format (Attachment 6)

b. 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 price for the construction will be considered for evaluation, including all options and alternates (if applicable).

c. Section 00101, Representations, Certifications, and Other Statements of Offerors.

d. In accordance with FAR Clause 52.228-1, Bid Guarantee, an electronic of the bid guarantee shall be submitted with the offer, while the original must be received within two calendar days of the proposal submission date.

e. Proposal Data Sheet (Attachment 4)

f. Determination of Responsibility (Attachment 5)

g. Joint Venture Agreement (if applicable)

h. The Offeror’s proposal must be received by the Government no later than the date/time specified in the solicitation and cited above. Offerors shall submit their proposal using the following link:

https://safe.apps.mil

Please submit proposals utilizing the link above to Contract Specialist, Anelis Nazario-Castillo at Anelis.I.Nazario-Castillo@usace.army.mil and Contracting Officer, Tedra Thompson at Tedra.N.Thompson@usace.army.mil.

W912EP20R0033 00100A-4 Amendment 0003

EVALUATION METHOD:

The Price factor is not rated. It will be evaluated for 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.

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, realism, 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.

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 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.

Completeness addresses the extent to which the elements of the price proposal are consistent with the requirements of the RFP. Fairness and Reasonableness will be established using historical price information, price competition information, the Independent Government Estimate (IGE), and any other pricing tools necessary. Additionally, a price realism evaluation may be performed.

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.

The Determination of Responsibility Form (Attachment 5) is not considered for evaluation, but is required as part of the offeror’s proposal. 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.

2. FACTOR 2 - DEMONSTRATED CORPORATE TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

W912EP20R0033 00100A-5 Amendment 0003

The offeror’s volume for this non-priced factor will not include price or price related information. The offeror will include the Proposal Format Sheet, Attachment 6 with the Factor 2 submission requirements. Provide at least one (1) but not more than three (3) example of similar recent and relevant experience of completed construction projects or close to completed project, which meet the solicitation criteria for Factor 2.

Attachment 1, Demonstrated Corporate Technical Experience must be utilized to provide project information in response for each project. The offeror shall ensure that all information required by the Demonstrated Corporate Technical Experience Sheet(s) are provided and all descriptions and explanations are in great detail to provide the technical evaluation team with a clear understanding of the work completed and how it is similar to this project. If a project is presented and has not been completed, the offeror shall explain which elements of the work are not completed and the percentage.

All experiences required for this factor, which are listed as elements, can be submitted under one project or any combination of projects. Elements need not have been performed on the same project(s). A maximum of three (3) projects may be submitted, and only the first three (3) projects submitted in the offeror’s proposal will be reviewed and any additional projects will not be evaluated. The offeror must have been the prime contractor on at least one (1) of the projects submitted in Factor 1.

If any portion of the work provided as demonstrated corporate technical experience was 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. Using Attachment 2, provide a letter of commitment from that proposed subcontractor.

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 cause any non-priced factor to be rated Unacceptable, if applicable.

In accordance with the non-substitution clause in Section 00800 Limitations on Substitutions for Certain Positions and/or Subcontractors, a major subcontractor is defined as any subcontractor that is critical for successfully completing the project and whose experience is submitted as part of this proposal and is also identified in the clause.

The project/projects submitted under Factor 2, Demonstrated Corporate Technical Experience must have a corresponding submission under Factor 3, Past Performance. In addition, project/projects submitted under Factor 2 must be a completed project or a close to completed project.

A complete project is defined as work performed under a “project” that was physically completed within the last fifteen (15) years preceding the date of this solicitation and has been accepted by the customer. A close to complete project is defined as work performed under a “project” that is over 75% physically complete.

Failure to demonstrate the minimally acceptability standards under Factor 2 will result in an “UNACCEPTABLE,” rating and possible elimination from further consideration for contract award.

A joint venture entity shall submit the designated number projects for Factor 2 for the combined 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. These projects will be evaluated separately; however, the overall evaluation for demonstrated corporate technical experience will be combined to form one overall evaluation rating for the joint venture.

W912EP20R0033 00100A-6 Amendment 0003

Any demonstrated corporate technical experience (to include subcontractors) provided for consideration in Factor 1 shall also have a corresponding submission in the Past Performance Factor.

If Past Performance information is not provided for a demonstrated corporate technical experience that demonstrated corporate technical experience will not be evaluated.

The Offeror’s Demonstrated Corporate Technical Experience Proposal must also include the following:

Project/Projects that demonstrate the following experiences:

a. Successfully procured, transported and placed stone with a minimum weight of 8 tons, unit weight of 165 pcf, and shape approximately between that of a cube and a sphere, in a highly dynamic environment susceptible to open ocean swells and currents to the specified tolerances.

*Land-based construction of Revetment projects do not qualify as acceptable demonstrated experience

NOTE 1: Successfully is defined as receiving at least an "acceptable" rating in every non-price factor.

EVALUATION METHOD

The technical evaluation team will evaluate each of the projects submitted to determine if they are similar to this project and whether or not these projects demonstrate that the offeror has the knowledge and experience required to meet or exceed the terms and conditions of the specifications, and the ability to successfully accomplish and complete the project within the required timeframe, as defined in specification Section 01 11 00, Summary of Work.

Offerors must receive a demonstrated corporate technical experience rating of “Acceptable,” in order to receive a rating of Technically Acceptable for Factor 2.

Ratings for the Demonstrated Corporate Technical Experience factor are shown below:

Factor 2 Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

2. FACTOR 3 – PAST PERFORMANCE

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

W912EP20R0033 00100A-7 Amendment 0003 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 result in this Factor being rated Unacceptable.

If a Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) record is available for any of the projects submitted under Factor 2, 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 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.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detail, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with each offeror. Past performance information may be obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), CCASS, CPARS, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), or other databases for the Offeror or the Offeror’s major subcontractors.

EVALUATION METHOD

The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the Offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum solicitation requirements. This assessment considers each offeror’s demonstrated recent (within the last ten years) and relevant past performance information in supplying products/services that meet 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 submitted past performance is recent, and relevant or not relevant to the effort to be acquired.

PAST PERFORMANCE RELEVANCY RATINGS

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating Definition

Relevant Present/Past performance effort involved similar 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

The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the contractor performed a demonstrated corporate technical experience submitted in Factor 1. This will be determined by utilizing the NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire at Attachment 2, CPARS records or official performance evaluations from a non-federal entity. The offeror must receive a past performance rating of Satisfactory* or better to be considered 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 of Unacceptable will be assigned based on the results. Offeror’s must receive a Past Performance rating of Acceptable for ALL submitted demonstrated corporate technical experiences to receive and overall rating of Acceptable for the Past Performance Factor.

Ratings for this Factor are defined below:
