BASIC PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS – PHASES I and II

The Offeror’s proposal shall be submitted via AMRDEC. The solicitation shall provide AMRDEC instructions and receipt date for proposal submittal. Offerors are cautioned that “parroting” of the Technical requirements or the SOW with a statement of intent to perform does not reflect an understanding of the requirement or capability to perform. Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each proposal. Proprietary information shall be clearly marked.

1. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS PHASE I

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 proposal shall meet the following basic requirements:

Submission Requirements

Offerors shall submit a completed Pricing Schedule (see Attachment 6) for all base and option periods as part of the Price Proposal Package. Failure to submit a Price Schedule and failure to complete all Line Items on the Price Schedule, including the Base and all Option years, may result in the Offeror’s proposal package being rejected by the Government after initial evaluation without further consideration.

Contractors shall complete the Price Schedule utilizing U.S. Dollars. Award of the IDIQ contract and Task Orders will be in U.S. Dollars.

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The source selection process will use a two-phase selection approach as authorized under 10 U.S.C. 2305a. The first phase of the selection process will determine if the contractor meets the minimum qualifications outlined in the solicitation. If a contractor’s proposal is considered among the highly qualified in Phase I, they will be required to submit additional information for Phase II for evaluation.

Award will be made to the Offerors whose proposals are the best value to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors. IAW FAR 15.304, the following factors will be considered in evaluating the proposals:

Phase I:

Factor 1 – Experience

Factor 2 – Past Performance Factor 3 – Management Approach

The SSA will use the consensus ratings from the evaluation of the Phase I proposal submittals. Offerors evaluated as most qualified will be notified by the Contracting Officer to submit the Phase II Proposal Requirements.

Phase II:

Factor 4 – Design Capability Factor 5 – Price

1. Basis for Award:

The requirements for the preparation and submission of proposals and the requirements for the evaluation of proposals in response to this solicitation are contained in the Request for Proposals. Subject to the provisions contained herein, the award will be made to two (2) but not more than five (5) Offerors in accordance with Section 2305a of title 10, United States Code who are deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements, and judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation criteria and other considerations specified in this solicitation, represents the Best Value to the Government. This source selection approach, called Best-Value Tradeoff, includes an evaluation of five (5) factors:

Experience, Past Performance, Management Approach, Design Capability, and Price.

Experience contains a pass/fail element. The Offerors have to submit at least three (3) of the five (5) projects that were performed as the prime (i.e. the offeror). In case of a Joint Venture, the work must have been performed by at least one of the JV partners. Offerors who do not meet that minimum requirement are not eligible for award. Once the proposal is rated “Pass” for this aspect, the relative weight of the evaluation factors is as follows: Experience is significantly more important than Past Performance, Past Performance is significantly more important than Management Approach, and Management Approach is significantly more important than Design Capability, and when combined, the four non-price factors are significantly more important than Price.

The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest proposed price. The greater the equality of technical proposals, the more important price shall become in selecting the Best Value to the Government.

Unreasonably high proposed prices may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from the competitive range. The awarded contract will incorporate the successful Offerors proposal to the extent it offers betterments and does not conflict with the solicitation requirements.

The source selection process will use a two-phase selection approach as authorized under 10 U.S.C. 2305a. The first phase of the selection process will determine if the contractor is among the most highly qualified as outlined in the solicitation.

Additionally, this procurement will utilize “On-Ramp, Off-Ramp” procedures, which are outlined in Section 00 70 00 Conditions of the Contract. The Government reserves the right to re-open competition at any time during the term of the contract, to either remove or add awardees after a thorough review process to have a total of two (2) but no more than five (5) Contractors in the MATOC, if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government.

2. Discussions:

a. GENERAL INFORMATION: The Government does not intend to hold discussions. However, in accordance with FAR 15.306(d), discussion sessions with each Offeror may be held. Should discussions take place, all Offerors in the competitive range will be allowed to submit Final Proposal Revisions.

b. DISCUSSION SCHEDULING: If discussions are conducted, the Contracting Officer may conduct discussions orally, in writing, etc. The method for discussions will be at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer will provide additional instructions with the notification.

3. Competitive Range:

The competitive range may be limited for purposes of efficiency in accordance with FAR 15.306(c)(2). Offerors are urged to reflect their best possible terms, to include price related elements, since less than the best potential terms / prices could result in the exclusion of the proposal from further consideration.

4. The following are definitions of commonly used terms in the evaluation process:

Deficiency. A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. See FAR 15.001.

Strength. An aspect of an Offerors’ proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Weakness. A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001.

Uncertainty. Any aspect of a non-cost/price factor proposal for which the intent of the Offeror is unclear (e.g., more than one way to interpret the offer or inconsistencies in the proposal indicating that there may have been an error, omission or mistake).

Adverse Past Performance. Past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating from sources where the information is from other than formal rating systems such as “PPIRS” or “FAPPIS.”

EVALUATION APPROACH

The overarching evaluation approach for all factors is as follows:

Adequacy of Response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the Offeror’s methods and approach have been adequately and completely considered, defined, and satisfied the requirements specified in the solicitation. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which each requirement has been addressed in the proposal in accordance with the proposal submission section of the solicitation.

Feasibility of Approach. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the proposed approach is workable and the end results achievable. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which successful performance is contingent upon proven techniques.

PHASE I

FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE

Evaluation Criteria:

1. The Government will evaluate the depth and the relevancy of the experience as submitted in the Offeror’s proposal in accordance with the following criteria:

a. Projects that demonstrate experience working in the Republic of Georgia.

b. Experience managing multiple projects performed simultaneously.

c. Project examples that demonstrate experience working with proposed Key Subcontractors and/or the proposed JV Partners working together are considered more relevant.

d. Projects with a cost of $50,000 to $5,000,000. Offerors may submit higher valued projects if there is a scope of work with a measurable performance period and measureable monetary value within a larger project that is relevant to this procurement. An example could be a single contract that includes separate facilities, or buildings, or phased construction that shows relevant experience. Offerors shall clearly describe this project and how it related to the overall contract. Projects outside the relevant range may be considered less relevant.

Smaller projects bundled into a larger project in order to meet this cost element are not considered relevant.

2. Projects considered relevant shall be completed within the last six (6) years from the date of the solicitation or at least 50% complete by the date of this solicitation; performed in the Republic of Georgia; between $50,000 and $5,000,000; and include the following:

a. Renovations of buildings

b. New Construction;

c. Concrete and/or asphalt roads, pavements, airfield runway work;

d. Design/Build construction projects.

Offerors demonstrating experience with multiple projects in multiple trades are considered more relevant. Projects older than six (6) years may be considered, but will be considered less relevant.

NOTE: The prime contractor must have performed at least three (3) of the five (5) projects submitted for experience. This aspect of Experience is a pass/fail element. In case of a Joint Venture, the work must have been performed by at least one of the JV partners. Offerors who do not meet this minimum requirement are not eligible for award.

The adjectival ratings for FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE are listed and defined below:

Combined Technical/Risk Ratings

ADJECTIVE DEFINITION

OUTSTANDING Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

GOOD Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

ACCEPTABLE Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

MARGINAL Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

UNACCEPTABLE Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable.

Proposal is unawardable.

The adjectival ratings, defined below, are not separate ratings, but will be used to define the levels of risk in the aforementioned table.

Technical Risk Ratings

Adjectival Rating Definition

Low Has little potential to cause disruption of schedule, increase cost or degradation of performance. Normal contractor efforts and normal Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties.

Moderate Can potentially cause disruption of schedule, increase cost or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome difficulties.

High Is likely to cause significant disruption of schedule, increase cost or degradation of performance. Is unlikely to overcome any difficulties, even with special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring.

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

Evaluation Criteria:

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s past performance to determine how relevant project work is, as described in Factor 1 Experience, for recent projects. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s performance to determine a confidence assessment of the Offeror’s performance. With respect to relevancy, more relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future performance and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

Past Performance will be evaluated for projects completed in the last six (6) years from the date of this solicitation or currently ongoing (at least 50% complete).

The Offeror's past performance will be evaluated based on performance on projects submitted under Factor 1 Experience, to include the past performance of any Subcontractors or JV partners whose projects the Offeror may have submitted. Proposals will be evaluated based on the information provided and any other Past Performance information obtained by the Government. Past performance will be evaluated in accordance with the following criteria:

a. Quality: The degree to which the Offeror has complied with the contract requirements; met quality standards; was timely in regard to problem resolution without extensive customer guidance;

and the shown effectiveness of his prior quality control program.

b. Schedule/Timeliness of Performance: Whether the Offeror met contract completion dates including significant milestones and where schedules were exceeded, whether the Offeror identified valid justifications for the delays or if liquidated damages were assessed due to late delivery by the Offeror.

c. Customer Satisfaction: The degree to which end-users were satisfied with the project;

whether the Offeror was reasonable and cooperative in regard to resolving disagreements; whether the Offeror was responsive and businesslike with concern for the customer, and whether the Offeror achieved customer satisfaction.

d. Management Personnel/Labor: Whether the Offeror used effective business practices for on-site management for subcontractors, suppliers, materials, and labor force. Whether and the extent to which the Offeror displayed an ability to hire and retain a qualified workforce; controlled government/ owner property when applicable;…
