U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Mission: USACE provides vital engineering solutions, in collaboration with our partners, to secure our Nation, energize the economy, and reduce risks of disasters.

So who are we? What is the United States Army Corps of Engineers?

The USACE is a U.S. Federal Agency with a rich history dating back to the birth of the United States.

It supports the engineering needs of the US military both at home and overseas.

The Corps is well known for its civil works projects in the US, which include Dam and flood protection systems (provides ¼ of the hydropower generated in the US), dredging for waterway navigation for such rivers as the Mississippi and Columbia, and environmental preservation and restoration.

Approximately 37,000 dedicated Civilians and Soldiers delivering engineering services to customers in more than 130 countries worldwide.

USACE is globally engaged and regionally aligned NAU Commander: Colonel Daniel Kent Headquartered in Wiesbaden, Germany

The Europe District (NAU) of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers delivers infrastructure, engineering, environmental, real estate and general services to support U.S. National security interests in the United States European Command (EUCOM) and the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) areas of responsibility.

Work is executed through out Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Israel, and the African Continent.

We are led by US. Army Colonel Patrick Dagon.

We are headquartered in Wiesbaden, Germany.

The Europe District is a multi-national, multi-ethnic organization with 537 total employees as of 30 Sep 2018 (15 Military Service Members, 376 Department of the Army Civilians, 114 Local National Civilians, and 32 Contracted Civilian employees).

Other… Approximately 80% of NAU workload is categorized as U.S. military construction (MILCON), though the district does important work that is funded through operations and maintenance (O&M) accounts, foreign military sales/finance (FMS/FMF) accounts, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Security Investment Program (NSIP).

The number of U.S. Government (non-contractor) employees for NAU increased in FY18 from 473 to 505 (+32) and remains the largest since NAU was formed from the USACE Europe Division (EUD) in March 1991.

U.S. Procurement law and regulations

Mention Part 15 Contract by Negotiations Part 16 Types of Contracts Part 36 Construction & AE

DFARS 252.233-7001

This contract shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of the United States of America. By the execution of this contract, the Contractor expressly agrees to waive any rights to invoke the jurisdiction of local national courts where this contract is performed and agrees to accept the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals and the United States Court of Federal Claims for the hearing and determination of any and all disputes that may arise under the Disputes clause of this contract.

Choice of law (overseas)

DISPUTES AND CLAIMS REGULATIONS

41 United States Code (U.S.C.) Chapt. 71 - Contract Disputes

FAR Subpart 33.2, Disputes and Appeals

FAR 52.233-1, Disputes

The contractor agrees to indemnify and save harmless the United States Government against all claims and suits of whatsoever nature arising under or incidental to the performance of this contract by any subcontractor against the United States Government. The Contractor further agrees to waive his rights to bring suit or other legal action against the United States Government, except as provided in the Disputes clause of this contract and in the United States Federal Statutes.

Immunity From Legal Process

The U.S. Government is very concerned that laborers on our projects receive working conditions and wages in accordance with Host Nation laws and regulations.

“Compliance With Local Labor Laws,” provides that contractors must comply with all host nation labor laws and regulations including laws and regulations relating to hours of work and compensation.

Be aware that this applies to subcontractors as well as the prime contractor – the prime contractor is responsible for ensuring that all workers on the project are properly paid, regardless of whether the workers are employed directly by the prime contractor, principal subcontractor or subcontractors at any tier.

Compliance with local labor laws

The U.S. Government contracts are with the prime contractors.

USACE expects the prime contractor to actively manage the project and ensure the work meets contract requirements. The U.S. Government will hold the prime contractors responsible for contract execution.

When issues arise, the U.S. Government deals with primes, not subcontractors.

Prime Contractor Project Management

The Solicitation Specifications Binder covers contractor responsibilities and obligations:

Adequately manning and staffing the project.

The contractor assumes the risk and cost of obtaining the necessary labor to execute the project.

The U.S. Government will not compensate you if labor turns out to be more expensive than you expected. This is true even if the reason for the added expense is a change in the host nation (HN) laws/regulations that increases your labor cost.

The U.S. Government cannot influence the HN regarding visas or work permits and may not provide any assistance.

Prime Contractor Project Management (cont.)

U.S. CONTRACTING OFFICERS

The U.S. acts through warranted Contracting Officers (KOs).

Contracting Officers are assisted by Administrative Contracting Officers (ACOs) and Contracting Officer’s Representatives (CORs) acting within the bounds of authority delegated to them by the Contracting Officer.

Only a warranted Contracting Officer (or designated ACO) may provide direction to a contractor on a U.S. Government contract.

Joint ventures, teaming agreements, key subcontractors, affiliates What if the Prime is a host nation company with a lot of experience, but no or very little experience with the U.S. Government or the U.S. Department of Defense?

What if the Prime has a lot of U.S. Department of Defense experience, but no or little experience working in the Host Nation?

If your firm intends on submitting a proposal as a Joint Venture, or Teaming Agreement please carefully review the solicitation requirements. If there are questions, submit inquiries via ProjNet.

Typically, US Government requires 100% Performance and Payment bonds issued by approved US surety companies (See FAR 28.102) Those approved surety companies are often unwilling to bond projects outside of the US. If specifically allowed in the RFP (which it is here), a Bank Letter of Assurance (BLA) and after award a Bank Letter of Guarantee (BLG) may be submitted instead of the 100% performance and payment bonds.

Other surety alternatives are also available as set forth in the RFP Note: If a Joint Venture (JV), the Bank Letter of Assurance must cover the JV, not just one member of the JV.

Bonding requirements

Tax Exemptions

United States contractors when working solely for the purpose of supporting the U.S. Government in Belgium shall not be subject to any form of income or profits tax by the Belgium Government.

Importation of articles by any contractors acting on behalf of the U.S. shall be free of any import duties or taxes.

Articles and services acquired by contractors acting on behalf of the U.S. should not be subject to direct or indirect taxation, to include value added taxes, excise taxes, sales taxes or similar taxes.

General Information: Registrations & ID Numbers Unique Entity ID Cage / NCAGE Code SAM Registration Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE)

Overview registrations & IDENTIFICATION numbers

NATO Commercial and Government Entity (NCAGE) Code https://cage.dla.mil/Home/UsageAgree

This is a snapshot of the registrations, websites to register in order to do business with the US Federal Government.

What is Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) (formerly DUNS) It’s a unique identification number that identifies your entity registration in SAM.gov and used in other federal award systems (FPDS, FSRS, eSRS, FAPIIS, CPARS).

DUNS Number to Unique Entity ID transitioned in APRIL 2022 - DUNS Number is no longer valid.

How does my firm obtain a UEI? Go to sam.gov obtain a UEI at no cost.

Unique Entity Identifier

Like individuals with identification numbers, this system provides an identification number for the business.

Database contains information on more than 235 million companies across 200 countries worldwide.

DNB provides commercial data to businesses on credit history. When performing a risk analysis the USG will look at DNB reports.

Follow the link on top of the page for DUNS number.

There you will find three options, and it is important that you click on the link for “Request a DUNS number for doing work with the Government”.

From there you will follow the instructions for registration.

The system will make you check first if your company already has a number. If you purchased your business, it may have a number already. Certain business management plans may include DUNS registration. This avoids any duplicate entry attempts.

The CAGE or NCAGE code is a required piece of data for registering in the System for Award Management (SAM).

What is a CAGE Code? The Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code is a unique identifier assigned to suppliers to various government or defense agencies, as well as to government agencies themselves and also various organizations.

How does your company obtain a CAGE Code? If you are a vendor located inside the United States, one can be obtained by visiting: https://cage.dla.mil/

What is an NCAGE Code? The NATO Codification System (NCS) was established in 1954. In order to differentiate between the U.S. and NATO systems, CAGE was referred to as NATO COMMERCIAL and GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY CODE (NCAGE) in the NCS community.

How does your company obtain an NCAGE Code? If you are a vendor located outside the United States, one can be obtained by visiting https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/AC135Public/default.aspx

Source Selection Process Understanding the Solicitation Preparing your Proposal

Doing business with the u.s. army corps of engineers: Overview

Belgium School – shape international school construction W912gb24R0015

Develop Requirement & Conduct Market Research Develop Acquisition Strategy/Plan Government Issues Solicitation on sam.gov Pre-proposal conferences/Site Visits held 20 March 2024 Offerors submit questions and Government may amend solicitation Offerors Submit Proposals Government Evaluates Proposals If Necessary, Establish Competitive Range, Hold Discussions, & Request & Receive Final Proposal Revisions Evaluate Final Proposals & Make Source Selection Decision Contract Award Debriefings, as requested Source selection process overview

This is a high-level overview of the the Source Selection process

The process begins with the establishment of an evaluation plan for a proposed acquisition, and ends when the SSA selects a contractor to receive a contract award and debriefs the offerors.

MAGNITUDES of CONSTRUCTION

The magnitudes are provided in FAR 36.204 and DFARS 236.204

Typical Language in the Solicitations:

Per FAR 36.204, the estimated magnitude of construction on this contract is between $10,000,000 and $25,000,000 (FAR Clause 52.216-19).

Information to Offerors

Included in this section is also a “magnitude for construction” The use of this range does not mean that the government has estimates ranging from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000, or that the cost falls near the middle of the range, but only that the government believes the price to fall at a specific point which is within this range of values specified in the FAR.

A project estimated at $1,000,001 or one estimated at $4,999,999 would fall within the range. No inference should be drawn as to where this project is believed to fall within the range.

The typical Request for Proposal (RFP) is a significantly long document that reads like a legal text and has very specific requirements. Make sure you thoroughly read and understand the proposal submission requirements and process.

You may be disqualified for submitting a proposal that does not meet all of the requirements.

Offerors are advised to provide their BEST PROPOSAL in the first submission.

Understanding the solicitation package and preparing the proposal

RFP is verbose document that reads like a legal text, and has very specific requirements.

Your proposal will be considered responsive if you give complete information presented in the manner requested and show that you can meet its needs effectively and efficiently.

Understanding each section prior to preparing your first RFP response will certainly save you time.

Offerors shall submit inquiries via “Bidder Inquiry” in ProjNet at www.projnet.org\projnet. See the solicitation for ProjNet registration instructions.

Bidder Inquiry Key:

5669Y8-Z463B8 Bidder Inquiries will be closed to new inquiries on 25 March 2024 in order to appropriately respond and amend the solicitation, if necessary.

Proposal Format

Trade-off Process (FAR 15.101-1) In the best interest of the Government to consider award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror. Factors include:

Non-Price Factors:

Factor 1 – Past Performance Factor 2 – Staffing and Work Plan Price Factor Factor 3 – Price Relative Importance of the Evaluation Factors.

In accordance with FAR 15.304(e), Factor 2 is more important than Factor 1. When combined, all non-price factors are approximately equal to price.

Source Selection Approach

Submit the information required for a maximum of three (3) projects meeting the following definition for recent and relevant projects -- recency and relevancy are elements of Past Performance. For Factor 1 evaluation purposes, the definition of a recent and relevant contract must meet the following conditions:

Recency: Past Performance projects submitted shall be projects that have been completed or substantially completed within the past ten (10) years (from proposal submission) and must be similar in size and scope to the work solicited under this MATOC.

Relevancy. In assessing the relevancy of the offeror’s past performance, the government will consider the extent to which the offeror’s submitted construction projects involved the following:

Construction of multi-story buildings;

Construction in Belgium;

Construction of schools;

Ability to coordinate and manage restricted construction spaces and laydown areas;

Experience with the Department of Defense.

**USG (U.S. Government) considers substantially complete at 75% or greater completion** Factor 1: PAST PERFORMANCE

The past performance evaluation result 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 project outlined in the solicitation requirements.

There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation: recency, relevancy, and quality.

The first aspect is to evaluate whether the Offeror’s past performance is recent, and relevant or not relevant to the solicitation requirements. For this solicitation, recent projects are those projects:

Completed or substantially complete within ten (10) years of the date that proposals are due.

The second aspect is to determine how relevant the Offeror’s past performance projects are to the solicitation requirements. There are four (4) levels of relevancy as shown in the table below.

Factor 1: PAST PERFORMANCE

The Offeror shall submit at least two (2) projects performed by the Offeror as the prime, projects must demonstrate that the Offeror has performed at least 15% of the cost of that project contract and at least three (3) DB projects. Projects considered similar are completed in the last 5 years or 75% complete DB or DBB construction of new facilities, major building renovation, road and pavement repair, minor construction, excavation, plumbing, demolition, electrical, structural, mechanical, concrete work, and environmental (hazardous waste abatement and disposal) remedial work. Projects must have a minimum price of 500,000.00 and a maximum price of 10,000,000.00 Euros.

Note: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.304(a)(2)(iv)). If an Offeror has no relevant past performance history, the Offeror must affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant directly related or similar past performance.

During the Best Value Tradeoff Process, Offerors whose proposals receive a satisfactory confidence or substantial confidence rating for this factor may be considered more favorably than an Offeror with a neutral confidence rating.

For Past Performance, Offerors will receive one rating for Factor 1, a Confidence Rating, as detailed below.

Past Performance Relevancy. The SSEB will first evaluate the relevancy of recent past performance identified in the proposal. Relevancy is Not rated. SSEB will determine how relevant a project is when compared to the scope, size and magnitude of effort and complexities of this solicited MATOC.

Performance Confidence Assessment. The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the contractor performed on those projects (CPARS or PPQs). The Government reserves the right to check any and all cited references to verify supplied information and to assess owner satisfaction. In conducting the confidence assessment, each Offeror shall be assigned one overall confidence assessment rating.

Factor 1: PAST PERFORMANCE (CONFIDENCE - Cont)

Note: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.304(a)(2)(iv)). If an Offeror has no relevant past performance history, the Offeror must affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant directly related or similar past performance.

FACTOR 1: CONFIDENCE RATING

Submit a Staffing and Work plan describing the offeror’s proposed approach to executing the work required by the RFP documents.

The Staffing and Work Plan must include, at a minimum:

Narrative:

Risks and mitigations associated with limited site access and controlling access to the site during construction;

Material and personnel procurement and transportation from laydown area to work site;

How site access and deconfliction will be managed with other site users;

Recruitment and retention of qualified personnel in accordance with the specifications.

The Staffing and Work Plan narrative shall not exceed fifteen (15) pages.

Submissions exceeding 15 pages will not be read or evaluated beyond the first 15 pages.

**NOTE** Proposals MUST be submitted in English.

Factor 2: Staffing and Work Plan submission requirements

In determining the strengths and weaknesses, the Government will consider the following when evaluating the offeror’s Staffing and Work Plan:

The extent to which the offeror realistically discusses the means, methods, equipment, and sequence of work for major elements on the critical path; including the procurement and storage of materials;

The extent to which the offeror risk mitigation techniques are achievable;

The feasibility of the offeror’s material and personnel procurement and recruitment plan is achievable;

The extent to which the offeror demonstrates an understanding of the site access limitations, host nation compliance, Factor 2: management approach Evaluation criteria

FACTOR 2: Management approach rating

For Factor 2, Management Approach – Offerors will be assigned a combined Technical/Risk Rating from the following table, based on the evaluation of the Offerors proposal in accordance with the requirements of the Solicitation.

The Adjectival Ratings, defined below, are Not separate ratings but will be used to define the levels of risk in the table on the previous slide.

FACtor 2: Management approach rating

Government will evaluate pricing independently from the technical evaluation Price evaluation will not be assigned an adjectival rating but will be evaluated to determine a fair, reasonable and realistic price. For evaluation purposes, the total evaluated price will be calculated by adding the total price for all optional items to the total price for In addition to the total evaluated price, Offerors shall also provide a detailed price narrative for each contract line item (CLIN) which shall include the following: Area Cost Factor (ACF), Overhead (JOOH and HOOH), Profit, Mark-Ups, bonding, other cost drivers to include labor discussion of number of shifts and days per week worked, labor restrictions impacting price; long lead items to include any difficulty acquiring any materials and/or equipment over $500K. Please also include any additional cost drivers which have impacted pricing. This information, and a comparative analysis to proposed prices and the Independent Government Estimate will assist in determining fair, reasonable, and realistic pricing for the requirement.

The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

Failure to submit complete Pricing Schedule and Price Narrative may result in the offeror’s proposal being rejected by the Government after initial evaluation without further consideration.

Factor 3 – Price

The Government intends to use the proposal analysis techniques identified at FAR 15.404-1 to determine a fair and reasonable price. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject any and all offers. Offers found to be unreasonably high, may be considered unacceptable and rejected on that basis. The Government will also review prices to determine whether they are so low that they lack a technical understanding of the requirement.
