2. SELECTION PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Individual projects will be awarded at the task order level. In order to compete for task orders, Offerors must first be awarded an Indefinite Quantity Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) contract under this solicitation. To be awarded a contract, Offerors must submit qualification packages (proposal), demonstrating their construction and management capabilities in order to demonstrate they can successfully execute task orders (individual construction projects) issued against the IDIQ contracts. The Government will award contracts to all firms that meet the requirements laid out in this solicitation. After the IDIQ contracts have been awarded, individual projects will be competed among these contract holders. The issuance of orders will be done via detailed Request for Proposal (RFP) criteria being issued for individual projects to all IDIQ contract holders. Contractors, if so inclined, will submit their offers for a given project with the primary factor for award for the task orders as addressed in section seven of this document.

Offerors must submit a complete proposal package to be considered for award of an IDIQ contract and submit proposals on individual task order RFP’s to be considered for award of a task order. THE PROPOSAL DOES

NOT INCLUDE A PRICING SUBMISSION. EVALUATION OF PRICING WILL BE AT THE TASK

ORDER LEVEL.

3. SOURCE SELECTION PROCESS

The Government will evaluate all offers received in response to this solicitation in accordance with FAR Part

15.3, DoD Source Selection procedures, and Army Source Selection Supplement. The principal objective of this process is to select responsible Offerors who are likely to submit offers that represent the Best Value to the Government for individual Task Orders. The process is designed to ensure the impartial, equitable, and comprehensive evaluation of all technically acceptable, responsible proposals received in response to this solicitation.

Source Selection Procedure

The source selection process will begin with an initial review of proposals received in response to this solicitation. The SSEB shall evaluate the proposals based solely on the evaluation criteria identified below. To be considered acceptable, each Offeror shall specifically address each of the evaluation factors. Sufficient detail shall be provided, citing specific data as may be required, such that the proposal may be adequately evaluated. The proposal must show clearly that the Offeror has the capability and responsibility to accomplish the work under individual, or multiple, concurrent, construction projects.

It is the intent of the Government to award contracts to all firms reaching the thresholds listed under Basis for Award below.

The Government is not responsible for information overlooked during the evaluation which is not located in the appropriate proposal section. To ensure the evaluation credit is appropriately received for proposal material submitted, do not reference documents that are not contained in the proposal. References to sections of the proposal shall be by specific paragraph number (and name, if applicable), page number, and section.

4. BASIS FOR AWARD

The selection will be based on evaluation of technical factors and past performance. There are four non- price factors: Factor 1 – Construction Experience, Factor 2 – Management Approach, Factor 3 – Past Performance, and Factor 4 – Bonding Capacity. Price will not be considered for award of the base contracts. Only those Offerors whose proposals achieved a rating of Acceptable, or better, for each factor will be awarded a contract under the MATOC and be invited to submit proposals for individual task orders.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award contracts without conducting discussions. However, in the event the Source Selection Authority (SSA)/Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) concludes conducting discussions is in the best interest of the Government, the Contracting Officer will establish a competitive range.

Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

11.1.2. Evaluation

The Government intends to evaluate the three projects submitted by each Offeror to determine each Offeror's construction experience. Under this evaluation factor, the Government intends to evaluate the projects submitted with each Offeror’s proposal to assess the breadth, depth and relevance of each Offeror’s experience, or that of its subcontractor with a letter of commitment, with performing the requirements called for in this RFP and as described in Paragraph 1.2. An Offeror that submits projects that demonstrate the breadth, depth and relevance of its experience with performing the work called for under this RFP will be rated more favorably than Offerors that submit proposals that do not demonstrate the breadth, depth or relevance of an Offeror’s experience with performing the work called for in this RFP. Each Offeror’s proposal will be thoroughly evaluated against this evaluation criteria and, using the definitions noted above, the Government intends to identify specific features in each proposal that it considers “strengths,” “weaknesses,” and “deficiencies” before assigning an overall adjectival rating consistent with the definitions as set forth in Paragraph 12.

To ensure that each Offeror has a better understanding of the areas that the Government intends to emphasize when assessing an Offeror’s relevant experience with performing work called for under this RFP, the Government provides the following guidance concerning the assignment of proposal “strengths,” “weaknesses,” and “deficiencies.”

Strengths include:

• Experience in the District AOR, or similar climatic regions, is a positive element of this category, as is State or local licensing in the region, if applicable.

• Each project example that exhibits the Offeror’s capability to perform complex projects. A complex project may include a combination of any of the following:

o a project example that consists of five (5) or more disciplines/trades.

o a project that consists of new minor construction or restoring or modernizing two or more large structures.

• Any other aspect of a proposal that the evaluators and/or the SSA believe enhances the merit of the proposal or increases the probably of successful performance of any task orders.

• Experience in design-build construction projects.

Weaknesses include:

• Projects that are too narrow in scope to demonstrate confidence in executing the array of responsibilities required in this contract.

• Omission or incompleteness of any requested information listed in Paragraph 11.1.1 that is otherwise not stated as a deficiency.

• Any other aspect of a proposal that the evaluators and/or the SSA believe is a flaw that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Deficiencies include:

• Submitting fewer than three (3) project examples.

• Any design-build project example submitted in which the Offeror, or subcontractor with binding letter of commitment, did not actively participate in the construction aspects.

• Any project example submitted for which the Offeror, or subcontractor with binding letter of commitment, was not the Prime Contractor or Joint Venture participant at the time of project execution.

• Any project example that is still under construction or falls outside the six (6) year BOD or construction complete and system was operational date.

• Any project example submitted that has a contract (stand-alone contract or single task order) dollar value at award under $500,000.

• Any project example submitted that has numerous Task Orders summed to meet the minimum contract dollar value identified herein.

• Any other material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level

11.2. VOLUME 1, TAB 2 – FACTOR 2 – MANAGEMENT APPROACH

11.1.3. Submission Requirements

This factor considers the effectiveness of the Offeror’s overall management approach and organization to adequately perform the requirements of a contract resulting from this solicitation.

Weaknesses include:

• An organizational structure that does not thoroughly explain or clearly identify the roles, responsibilities, hierarchies, or flows of communication both internally and with the Government.

• Omission or incompleteness of any requested information listed in Paragraph 11.2.1 that is otherwise not stated as a deficiency.

• Any other aspect of a proposal that the evaluators and/or the SSA believe is a flaw that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Deficiencies include:

• Not addressing one (1) or more of the items listed in Paragraph 11.2.1.

• Material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

11.3. VOLUME 1, TAB 3 – FACTOR 3 – PAST PERFORMANCE

11.1.5. Submission Requirements

The Offeror should submit, at a minimum, the past performance ratings for each project the Offeror included in Tab 1 – Factor 1 – Construction Experience. Offerors shall use the USACE form PPQ for the past performance factor.

11.3.1.1 Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ)

The Past Performance Questionnaire (Form PPQ-0, Attachment 1) is provided for the Offeror or its team members to submit to the client. The PPQ shall be completed by an owner or owner’s representative not affiliated with your firm. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact.

Completed PPQs shall be submitted with your proposal or to the designated personnel listed below prior to the proposal due date. Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the designated Government's point of contacts, via email at terry.g.zenker@usace.army.mil and Jesse.L.Onkka@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

11.3.1.2 Government Utilization of Alternate Information Sources for Past Performance

The Government will assess the past performance on projects submitted under the Tab 1 - Construction Experience and reserves the right to conduct telephone interviews with points of contact identified in the proposal. In addition, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance of the Offeror on the submitted projects and any other previous work. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), using all Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) / Unique Entity ID of team members (Partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the Offeror's proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of ensuring detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

Evaluation

The Government will evaluate the relative merits of each Offeror's past performance by following the assessment procedures as stated in Paragraph 13. The evaluation of past performance will examine how well Offerors have performed on relevant previous projects considering such criteria as overall rating; cost growth and adherence to budget; time growth, timeliness and adherence to schedule; quality and quality control measures; management of subcontractors; compliance with safety standards/safety plan; overall satisfaction; and responsiveness to customer concerns.

If an Offeror submits no performance evaluations and the Government is unable to locate evaluations in PPIRS or other Design/Construction Performance Rating Systems,…
