If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division, unit or team member submitting the offer.

4.1.2 Projects must be deemed relevant to be considered for this procurement. Relevant projects are those projects which meet the minimum criteria specified in paragraph 4.1.2.1. Projects which do not meet the minimum criteria specified SHALL be deemed not relevant and shall not be considered further.

Relevant projects which meet some or all of the additional criteria specified in paragraph 4.1.2.2 may be given more weight by the Government in determining the appropriate rating. The Government will not consider multiple projects such as individual task orders combined to meet the criteria referenced in

4.1.2.1 below. Offerors are cautioned to focus experience submissions on projects wherein the Offeror or proposed team members played a significant role and to clearly define those roles.

4.1.2.1 Minimum Criteria:

4.1.2.1.1 Projects submitted by the Offeror should have a new construction / or renovation value of no less than $12M.

If project is a combination of new construction and renovation, cost break down is applicable: cost of new construction and cost of renovation equal to grand total no less than $12M.

4.1.3 Offerors shall submit no more than eight (8) Project Information Sheets. Where a project was awarded as a task order or delivery order under an IDIQ type contract, Offerors are cautioned to submit information specific to the instant task or delivery order considered relevant to the requirements of this RFP rather than the umbrella contract. All projects shall be successfully completed, or substantially completed (fully designed and at least 50% construction progress completed) within five (5) years preceding the date of this Solicitation. As a minimum, the Project Information Sheets shall provide;

the Project Point of Contact with telephone number, role and function performed on project, significance of role to overall project, project description (title), scope, location, cost (of specific contract action), and date of completion or anticipated completion date and percent constructed as of the date of the solicitation. For purposes of this Request for Proposal, if the Offeror represents the combining of two or more companies in a Contract Team Arrangement as defined in paragraph 2.2 above, no more than eight

(8) total project examples may be submitted for the entire team. The experience of individuals will not be credited under this factor.

4.1.4 The Offeror may provide a supplemental narrative (not additional project lists), not to exceed two

(2) pages that clearly but concisely describes the extent of the Offeror’s recent, related experience in construction (Design-Bid-Build). At a minimum the narrative should address; (1) previous recent teaming experience with proposed team members, if any and (2) corporate experience that is not directly related to the specific projects above and how the experience is applicable to this project.

4.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA.

4.2.1 The Government will evaluate the extent of recent, related experience of the prime contractor and its team members, if any, in construction (Design-Bid-Build). Projects procured under indefinite or definite delivery or requirements type contracts will be evaluated on an individual task/delivery order basis.

Offerors are reminded the Government may view an Offeror’s role, or that of its team members, if any, as either a detriment or benefit, dependent upon the significance, if any, as either a detriment of benefit, dependent upon the significance, if any, of said roles and the clarity with which they are defined, regardless of project relevancy. It is solely up to the judgment of the Government to determine the importance of identified roles in the assessment of evaluation ratings. Where the Government views an Offeror’s role or that of its team members, if any, as not significant or as not clearly defined, the Government reserves the right to view this lack of involvement, or clarity, as a lack of demonstrated experience and a heightened element of risk which may impact an Offeror’s rating for this factor despite the relevancy of submitted project (s). Federal Government project experience WILL NOT be rated inherently more important than non-Federal Government project experience.

4.2.2 The Government reserves the right to verify the experience record of cited projects or other recent projects by reviewing the Corps of Engineers Construction Contractor (or Architect-Engineer) Appraisal Support System (CCASS), other DOD or Government appraisal systems or by contacting owners or references. The Government may check any or all cited references to verify supplied information.

4.2.3 The relevant experience of key personnel proposed for this project will not be evaluated or considered under this factor.

4.2.4 Offerors are cautioned that the Supplemental Narrative shall not exceed two (2) pages and that Government evaluators will review and evaluate only the information contained on the first two pages.

Similarly, the Government may consider previous teaming experience among the team members as value added. The more relevant the project through which this experience has been gained, the more consideration it may be given. The consideration and weight given to the supplemental narrative will be based on the extent and adequacy of the information provided in accordance with paragraph 4.1.4

4.2.5 If the Offeror is determined to have no recent, relevant experience IAW the submission requirements of this RFP, or if the Offeror’s role on recent, relevant projects is determined to be not significant, a determination will be made as to the risk this lack of experience presents to the Government and the Offeror will be given an appropriate rating for this factor.

5. TAB K—FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE

5.1 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

5.1.1 Past performance refers to the quality of recent, relevant project experience from the owner’s perspective. The Offeror shall complete and provide a Past Performance Assessment Sheet (Attachment

3) on no more than eight (8) projects total; inclusive of team member submissions, if any. Projects submitted under this factor must first be deemed relevant in accordance with the minimum criteria specified in paragraph 4.1.2.1 and additional criteria in paragraph 4.1.2.2 before being evaluated for quality in accordance with the criteria specified in paragraph 5.3. Offerors are cautioned to focus past performance submissions on projects wherein the Offeror or proposed team member played a significant role and to clearly define those roles.

The Offeror shall provide clear and adequate information in response to the past performance elements identified on Attachment 3. Though not required, ideally project past performance information submitted under this factor would be on the same projects submitted for consideration under Factor 1. Individual project Past Performance Assessment Sheets shall not exceed five (5) pages. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division, unit or team member submitting the offer. The Government will call and confirm information provided by the offeror on the Past Performance Assessment Sheet with the points of contact, to the extent necessary to conduct a meaningful evaluation. The Government reserves the right to interview other individuals if the point of contact is not available.

5.1.2 Other Sources. The Government may contact sources other than those provided by the Offeror for information with respect to past performance. These other sources may include but are not limited to:

Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), other Government sources, and telephone interviews with organizations or individuals familiar with the Offeror’s performance. CCASS ratings on all relevant projects submitted by the Offeror under factor Corporate Relevant Experience as well as up to five (5) additional CCASS ratings on recent, relevant projects in accordance with 5.2.3 and 4.1.2 will be considered.

5.1.3 The past performance of individuals will not be considered under this factor.

5.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

5.2.1 The Government will evaluate the Offeror's past performance using the sources available to it including but not limited to: the example projects identified by the Offeror and submitted on the Past Performance Assessment Sheets and any additional information received from references, CCASS or other sources. Offerors may be provided an opportunity to address any negative past performance information about which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond if such information is determined to present an impact on the rating to be assessed.

5.2.2 The Government will consider past performance of the prime construction contractor. If a firm has multiple functions or divisions, the Government will only evaluate the past performance of the unit or division submitting the offer. The Government may also consider the past performance information submitted on any other team member. However, in accordance with paragraphs 2.2 and 2.4, above, the consideration and weight given to past performance information concerning other than the prime contractor will be based on the extent of involvement of the team member in the project and the adequacy of the proposal in identifying and addressing such arrangements and roles. Past performance information submitted on a team member who does not perform a major or critical role on the project or whose role has not been clearly or adequately described as required will not be considered. Where the Government views an Offeror’s role, or that of its team members, if any, as not significant or as not clearly defined, the Government reserves the right to view this lack of involvement, or clarity, as a risk which may impact an Offeror’s rating for this factor despite the quality of recent, relevant past performance information.

5.2.3 The Government will consider recent, relevant projects that are successfully completed, or substantially completed (fully designed and at least 50% construction progress completed) within five (5) years preceding the date of the solicitation. To be deemed relevant, projects must comply with minimum criteria in paragraph 4.1.2.1. The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor performance.

The Government places higher value on projects for which successful performance can be validated by means other than the Offeror’s self-assessment such as through independent telephone interviews with points of contact identified in the proposal, CCASS or other agency performance databases, Offeror furnished references or personal knowledge. The Government places a higher value on projects which provided particularly difficult or unique challenges and the innovative methods the Offeror used to resolve problems successfully.

5.2.4 Offerors are cautioned that the submission of each Past Performance Assessment Sheet shall not exceed five (5) pages and that Government evaluators will review and evaluate only the information contained on the first five pages.

5.3 The Government will evaluate past performance based on the elements listed below:

5.3.1 Quality of Construction. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the quality of the actual construction undertaken and the standards of workmanship exhibited by the Offeror.

5.3.2 Timeliness of Performance. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the completion of projects within the scheduled completion times.

5.3.3 Customer Satisfaction. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to customer satisfaction, cooperation with customers, and interaction on past projects.

5.3.4 Subcontractor Management. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to effective management of subcontractors on past projects.

5.3.5 Safety. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the contractor’s safety program or efforts.

5.4 If the Government does not obtain past performance information for the projects identified by the Offeror and cannot establish a past performance record for the Offeror through other sources, past performance will be rated neither favorably nor unfavorably.

7. TAB L—FACTOR 3 – SUMMARY SCHEDULE.

7.1 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

7.1.1 Offerors are advised that the required data listed below are a requirement of this factor.

7.1.2 Schedules or diagrams may be provided separately in a size that is easily read, but shall be bound and clearly labeled as Tab M.

7.1.3 The Offeror shall clearly state the total performance period proposed from the Notice to Proceed through turnover of the facility for use by the end user’s unrestricted use (BOD). This period shall be inclusive of all review period required by the Government and specified in Section 01330 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES. Per Section 01330, show minimum of 30 days for government review and approval.

7.1.4 Detailed Summary Schedule: Submit a Construction Schedule with all areas clearly identified.

Provide descriptions and details indicating understanding permit requirements, long lead items and major equipment approvals. Provide knowledge and understanding how NC DENR permitting process will impact the construction schedule. The schedule for construction shall be task oriented, indicating dates by which milestones are to be achieved. The Offeror may use a critical path or other method of his/her choice; however, the schedules shall be graphically represented.

7.1.5 The Offeror shall also submit a narrative, not to exceed One (1) page, 12-pitch, and double-spaced, explaining how the schedules will be achieved and how phased construction will comply with the schedule.

7.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

7.2.1 Proposed Contract Duration: The duration is 1,020 calendar days. The Government may take into account how well the summary schedule supports the duration, as well as use other information, such as but not limited to independent judgment concerning logic, constraints and typical construction durations.

An offer which proposes contract duration shorter than the maximum allowed duration will not be accepted by the Government.

7.2.2 Summary schedule: The Government will evaluate the overall understanding of the construction process being used in this solicitation. All field overhead costs are to be included in the contract price for the full proposed contract duration. The Government will evaluate the schedule to assess the strength of understanding of the project scope. The schedule must reflect a single task oriented structure for construction.

8.EVALUATION STANDARDS. Evaluation factors will be rated using the following adjectival descriptions. Evaluators will apply the appropriate adjective to each factor rated. The evaluator’s narrative explanation must clearly establish that the Offeror’s submittal meets the definitions established below. As each factor is evaluated an assessment of Performance Risk will be made. Performance Risk relates to the assessment of an Offeror's present and past work and accomplishments to determine the Offeror's ability to successfully perform as required.

8.1 OUTSTANDING - No doubt exists that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort based on their performance record. The proposal has exceptional merit and reflects an excellent approach which will clearly result in the superior attainment of all requirements and objectives. The proposal contains no significant weaknesses, deficiencies or disadvantages and presents very low risk that it will not be successful. This clearly achievable approach includes numerous advantageous characteristics of substance, and essentially no disadvantages, which can be expected to result in outstanding performance.

The risk of unsuccessful performance is very low as the proposal provides solutions which are unquestionably feasible and practical. These solutions are further considered very low risk in that they are exceptionally clear and precise, fully supported, and demonstrate a clear understanding of the requirements.

8.2 ABOVE AVERAGE - Little doubt exists that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort based on their performance record. The proposal demonstrates a sound approach which is expected to meet all requirements and objectives and exceed some. Any weaknesses noted in the proposal are minor and should not seriously affect the Offeror’s performance and presents low risk that it will not be successful. This sound approach includes advantageous characteristics of substance, and few relatively minor disadvantages, which collectively can be expected to result in above average performance. The risk of unsuccessful performance is low as the proposal contains solutions which are considered feasible and practical. These solutions are further considered to reflect low risk in that they are clear and precise, reasonably supported, and demonstrate an understanding of the requirements.

8.3 SATISFACTORY - Some doubt exists that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort based on their performance record. If the Offeror has no record of relevant past performance upon which to base a meaningful performance risk prediction, this rating will be assigned for Past Performance. The proposal demonstrates an approach which is capable of meeting all requirements and objectives. The Offeror may satisfactorily complete the proposed tasks, but there is at least a moderate risk that it will not be successful. The approach includes both advantageous and disadvantageous characteristics of substance, where the advantages are not outweighed by the disadvantages. Collectively, the advantages and disadvantages are likely to result in acceptable performance. The risk of unsuccessful performance is moderate, as the proposal solutions are generally feasible and practical. These solutions are further considered to reflect moderate risk in that they are somewhat clear and precise, partially supported, and demonstrate a general understanding of the requirements.

8.4 MARGINAL - Significant doubt exists that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort based on their performance record. The proposal demonstrates an approach which may not be capable of meeting all requirements and objectives. The Offeror may satisfactorily complete the proposed tasks, but there is a high risk that it will not be successful. The approach has disadvantages of substance and advantages, which if they exist, are outweighed by the disadvantages. Collectively, the advantages and disadvantages are not likely to result in satisfactory performance. The risk of unsuccessful performance is high as the proposal contains solutions which may not be feasible and practical. These solutions are further considered to reflect high risk in that they lack clarity and precision, are generally unsupported, and do not demonstrate a complete understanding of the requirements.

8.5 UNSATISFACTORY - It is extremely doubtful that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort based on their performance record. The proposal demonstrates an approach which will very likely not be capable of meeting all requirements and objectives. In terms of a specific factor, the Offeror fails to meet the minimum requirements and there is unacceptably high risk that it will not be successful. This approach has numerous disadvantages of substance, and advantages which, if they exist, are far outweighed by disadvantages. Collectively, the advantages and disadvantages will not result in satisfactory performance. The risk of unsuccessful performance is very high as the proposal contains solutions which are not feasible and practical. The solutions are further considered to reflect very high risk in that they lack any clarity or precision, are unsupported, and do not demonstrate an understanding of the requirement.

9. RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF FACTORS

9.1 NON-COST FACTORS:

FACTOR 1: CORPORATE RELEVANT SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: This factor is equal in importance to Factor 2 and more important than Factor 3.

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE: This factor is equal in importance to Factor 1 and more important than Factor 3.

FACTOR 3: SUMMARY SCHEDULE: This factor is less important than Factor 1 and Factor 2.

10 PRICE: All non-cost factors, when combined, are significantly more important than Price.

11. PROPOSAL EVALUATION.

11.1 The SSEB will be established to conduct the evaluation of proposals received in response to this solicitation. The evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal, proposal corrections and any information obtained from other sources, e.g. past performance information. The SSEB will not consider any documents incorporated by reference, except as expressly allowed by this solicitation.

11.2 Each member of the SSEB will independently consider all information provided in the proposal.

Once these individual analyses are completed, the SSEB will assign a consensus rating for each evaluation factor. It is the responsibility of each member of the SSEB to provide and document sufficient strengths, weaknesses, and/or deficiencies to support the assigned rating for each factor as well as the overall rating. Comments are required for all ratings.

11.3 The final overall rating along with ratings on individual factors, to include all support documentation, will be provided to the Source Selection Authority. The Source Selection Authority, independently exercising prudent business judgment, will determine which Offeror, if any, will receive the contract award.

12. EXCEPTIONS. Exceptions to the contractual terms and conditions of the solicitation (e.g., standard company terms and conditions) may result in a determination to reject a proposal.

13. RESTRICTIONS. Failure to submit all the data in the format indicated in this section may be cause for determining a proposal incomplete and, therefore, not considered for evaluation, and for subsequent award.

14. PRICE.

14.1 Price will not be rated, but will be a factor in establishing the competitive range prior to discussions (if held) and in making the best value decision for award of any resultant contract. Pricing for the contract shall be completed and submitted on the Pricing Schedule shown at Section 00010—Schedule B of the solicitation.

14.2 The Government will perform a price analysis on all proposals received for the contract. Price analysis will be performed in accordance with FAR 15.404-1, to determine fairness and reasonableness as well as to assure an understanding of the work and ability to execute the contract at price proposed.
