1.3. The purpose of the Request for Proposals is to establish a uniform evaluation procedure for the technical evaluation of proposals by the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) and the development of the Best Value Decision by the Source Selection Authority (SSA) using the Trade-Off Process (See Federal Acquisition Regulation 15.101-1). In as much as the proposal shall describe the capability of the Offeror to perform any resulting contract, and task orders issued there under, the proposal should be specific and complete in every detail as well as be prepared simply and economically, providing a straightforward and concise description of capabilities to satisfactorily perform the contract and task orders issued thereafter.

1.4. For the purposes of this solicitation, the Government will utilize the Two (2) Phase Design Build Process. In Phase I of the II phase design-build selection procedure, interested Offerors will submit specified performance capability proposals for review and consideration by the Government. The Government will evaluate these performance capability proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein.

1.5. The Government will evaluate the performance capability proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein and will select up to eight (8) of the most highly qualified Offerors to participate in Phase II.

1.6. In Phase II of this process, the Government will evaluate both technical capability and price.

1.7. Only those Offerors who receive a written notification from the Savannah District Contracting Officer that their firm has been selected to participate in Phase II of this solicitation are invited to submit a Phase II proposal. The Government intends to issue an Amendment stating the Government is entering into Phase II and only Offerors who receive formal notification from the Government will be considered in Phase II.

Proposals will not be accepted from Offerors not notified by the Government. Those Offerors selected for Phase II will be provided the technical requirements package for a Seed Task Order that may be representative of the type work and task orders anticipated to be issued under any resultant contract(s).

2. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

2.1. Firms formally organized as design-build entities, design firms and construction contractors that have associated specifically for performance of this contract, consortia of firms, or any other interested parties may submit proposals. A design firm or construction contractor may offer more than one proposal by entering into more than one association. Associations may be joint ventures or include key team subcontractors. Any legally organized Offeror may submit a proposal.

2.2. Contractor Team Arrangements. Contractor Team Arrangements are considered an arrangement in which (1) two or more companies form a partnership or joint venture to act as a potential prime contractor; or (2) a potential prime contractor agrees with one or more other companies to have them act as its subcontractors under a specified Government contract or acquisition program. In accordance with FAR Subpart 9.6, the Government will recognize the integrity and validity of contractor team arrangements;

provided, the arrangements are identified and company relationships are fully disclosed in the offer. The Offeror shall identify the major or critical aspects of the requirement to be performed by those identified in the Contractor Team Arrangement. The submission must contain a narrative that clearly explains the relevance to a particular factor of information concerning a company that is part of a Contractor Team Arrangement. The Government will consider the adequacy of this explanation in deciding the relevance of the information to this procurement. Any narrative provided should be incorporated into the Offeror’s proposal at Tab D.

2.3 Notwithstanding the specific requirements of any other area of the RFP, information submitted about any company other than the Offeror, whether a predecessor company, affiliated company, subsidiary (including wholly owned subsidiaries), or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of this requirement, or other associated business, WILL NOT be evaluated for any factor unless the proposal contains a detailed narrative explaining why this submitted information is relevant to this acquisition. The Government will consider the adequacy of this explanation in deciding the relevance and weight, if any, of the information to this procurement. Where information about a subcontractor is properly submitted and given significant weight during the evaluation, the failure of the Offeror to actually perform with that subcontractor may be grounds for termination for default. Any narrative provided should be incorporated into the Offeror’s proposal at Tab D.

2.4. Offerors shall submit their proposal to the address shown in Paragraph 3.1 below.

2.5. Proposals are due no later than the time and date specified in Paragraph 3.1 below

3. PROPOSALS

ELECTRONIC PROPOSAL SUBMISSION IS REQUIRED THROUGH THE WEBSITE

LISTED BELOW. ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION SENT VIA EMAIL OR FACSIMILE

WILL

NOT BE ACCEPTED. HAND CARRIED PROPOSAL SUBMISSION IS NOT

AUTHORIZED.

3.1 DIRECTIONS FOR SUBMITTING PROPOSALS

In an effort to reduce paperwork and reduce cost, all proposals shall be submitted electronically. All submissions shall be in Adobe PDF format. The Price Proposal and Technical Proposal shall be submitted as “separate” single files. Offerors may use compressions utility software such as WinZip or PKZip to reduce file size and facilitate transmission.

Title the file(s) in the following format:

W912HN-15-R-0002_COMPANY NAME_VOLUME I

W912HN-15-R-0002_COMPANY NAME_VOLUME II

Submit the Price and Technical proposals electronically via the AMRDEC SAFE website at:

https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/SAFE/.. At the AMRDEC SAFE website select the link: I do not have a CAC or this machine is not configured to read my CAC and I would like to access SAFE as a Guest User, to register, access the site and submit your proposal(s).

[Note: It has been reported that documents are more quickly uploaded into the AMRDEC SAFE website when using a Firefox web browser. The Government cannot verify that this is true and offers no guarantee that offerors will have more success utilizing any particular browser.]

When your proposal is submitted via the AMRDEC SAFE website, the website will provide notification of the submittal to the Government recipients. When completing the information for transmittal at the AMRDEC SAFE website, you will be required to enter e-mail addresses for the recipients. For this solicitation, the recipients will be the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist. The Contract Specialist for this project is Ms. Gosia M. Thompson, whose e-mail address is Gosia.m.thompson@usace.army.mil.

The Contracting Officer for this project is Ms. Nina Crow, whose e-mail address is nina.g.crow@usace.army.mil. These e-mail addresses are the ones you will enter as recipients.

In addition, after uploading your documents, you will be required to verify your email address before AMRDEC will send notification to the Government recipients. This is a very important step – even if you successfully upload your proposal to AMRDEC SAFE, notification will not be sent to the Government until you verify your email address, which may result in the rejection of your proposal for lateness. Follow the instructions on the AMRDEC website and the confirmation emails you receive from AMRDEC.

Proposal Due Date and Time:

Request For Proposal No: W912HN-15-R-0002 Due Date of Proposal: 13 January 2016 Time by which Proposals are Due: 2:00 P.M. (Eastern time)

Title of Project: TBUP MATOC

The date and time of delivery will be established by the time of receipt of the e-mail notification to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer by the AMRDEC SAFE website, not by the date and time of uploading of the proposal into the AMRDEC SAFE website. Do not assume that electronic communication is instantaneous – in fact, it can take several minutes or even hours in some cases. Please make allowances for delays in transmittal. If an electronic submission is uploaded minutes before the deadline but notification is not actually received in the recipients’ e-mail inboxes until after the deadline, the submission will be considered late.

The Government will not be responsible for proposals delivered to any location or to anyone other than those designated to receive proposals on its behalf. Offerors are responsible for ensuring that proposals are submitted so as to reach the designated recipient of proposals. Offerors are responsible for allowing sufficient time for the proposal to be received in accordance with the instructions provided.

GENERAL PROPOSAL FORMAT FOR PHASE I:

3.2. Title Page. Include the title of the solicitation, solicitation number, Offeror name, and date of the submittal.

4. PHASE 1-TAB F—FACTOR 1 – PAST PERFORMANCE

4.1. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS.

4.1.1. The Offeror shall demonstrate a record of construction performance and experience on recent, relevant projects using the Past Performance Questionnaire Summary Sheet, Attachment 2 and the Past Performance Questionnaire, Attachment 3 at the end of this section. The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) is provided for the offeror or its construction team members to submit to the client (Point of Contact) for each relevant project submitted. Offeror must ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client. Completed PPQs must be submitted with your proposal by the specified closing date and time. Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a point of contact for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the Offeror shall complete blocks 1 – 5 of the PPQ and submit it with the proposal. Please note that, at a minimum, this first page of the PPQ must contain sufficient information for the government to determine the relevancy of the project. In addition, this will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). The Government may call and confirm information provided by the Offeror on the PPQs with the points of contact, to the extent necessary to verify the information in the PPQ or to obtain additional information. The Government reserves the right to interview other individuals if the point of contact is not available. By exception, the client may request, submission of questionnaires directly to the Government’s point of contact (Contract Specialist), Gosia Thompson. Request may be made via email to Gosia.m.thompson@usace.army.mil. This request must be coordinated by the client in advance no later than five (5) business days before the proposal due date. PPQ’s submitted directly to the Contract Specialist shall be mailed via trackable means (certified US Mail, FedEx, or UPS). If the PPQ fails to arrive before the closing date and time, or if the information on the PPQ is insufficient to determine the Offeror’s name and appropriate solicitation number, it will not be considered.

Offerors are cautioned that the information submitted pertaining to a project shall be limited to the PPQ form and shall contain enough information to determine relevancy of a project. Additional project information attached to the PPQ will not be evaluated (e.g. CCASS/CPARS, narratives, etc.). Likewise, Project Information submitted in a format other than or in lieu of the PPQ (to include CCASS/CPARS) will not be considered. 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. Offerors may submit PPQs submitted on other procurements provided they are on the NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire Form.

In addition to the PPQ, the Offeror’s proposal shall include the Past Performance Questionnaire Summary Sheet (Attachment 2) to provide a summary of the PPQs included and/or submitted to clients. The summary sheet at a minimum shall include the following: 1) Project name; 2) Team member submitting the project; 3) Contract Number; 4) Construction percent completed at the time of the solicitation; 5) Scheduled completion date; and 6) Indicate if the project was design-bid-build or design build.

The offeror may include performance recognition documents received within the last five (5) years for only the projects submitted, such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition. Performance recognition documents shall not exceed eight (8) documents for the entire team.

Offerors should identify state and local government and private contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements described in 4.1.2 and 4.2.2. If the Offeror is a joint venture, each firm shall provide information, demonstrating experience relevant to their expected role on this contract. 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. Offeror shall submit projects that have a minimum value of no less than $10 million each and that demonstrate experience similar to the various requirements described in paragraph 1 (Description of Work) in the Scope of Work. Projects must be successfully completed or fully designed and at least 50% construction progress completed within five (5) years preceding the date of this solicitation. Projects that meet these criteria will be evaluated to determine the level of relevancy. Please note that projects submitted by design firms will not be evaluated in this factor. Design firms shall submit projects in accordance with the requirements in Factor 2.

4.1.3. Offerors shall submit no more than eight (8) PPQs (Attachment 3). Project information shall be limited to the PPQ. Additional project information attached to the PPQ will not be evaluated. 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. For purposes of this Request for Proposal, if the Offeror represents the combining of two or more companies in a Contractor Team Arrangement as defined in paragraph 2.2 above, no more than eight (8) total project examples may be submitted for the entire team. If an Offeror submits more than eight

(8) total project examples, only the first eight (8) will be evaluated. Offerors are advised to submit projects wherein the Offeror, or proposed team members, played a significant role and to clearly define those roles.

4.1.4. 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.

4.1.5. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the offeror must provide detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information for evaluation by the Government.

4.1.6. The experience and/or past performance of individuals will NOT be considered under this factor.

4.2. EVALUATION CRITERIA.

4.2.1. Past Performance Evaluation. The past performance and experience evaluation results in an assessment of the Government’s confidence in the ability of the Offeror to meet the solicitation requirements. The past performance evaluation considers each Offeror’s demonstrated record of performance and experience on recent and relevant projects that involve a similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities as this solicitation requires. One performance confidence assessment rating is assigned for each Offeror after evaluating the Offeror’s recent past performance and experience, focusing on performance and experience that is relevant to the contract requirements.

4.2.2. Relevancy Evaluation: Projects that meet the criteria in 4.1.2 will be evaluated to determine how relevant the projects are compared to the effort to be acquired through this solicitation. Aspects of relevant projects include similarity of scope, type of work, complexity, contract type, and the degree of subcontracting or teaming proposed by the Offeror.

4.2.3. Offerors may increase the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) level of confidence by demonstrating Previous Teaming between Prime and Major Construction Subcontractors or Previous Teaming between Prime and Prime AE Firm. This experience may be deemed more highly favorable.

4.2.4. Offerors may increase the SSEB’s level of confidence if the role of the offeror or team member on submitted projects is similar to or more significant than the role the offeror or team member is expected to perform on this contract. This experience may be deemed more highly favorable.

4.2.5. The SSEB may have a greater degree of confidence in offerors who demonstrate successful performance in a wide variety of the kinds of work described above in

SECTION V SECTION 00 21 00PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND

INSTRUCTIONS paragraph 1 (Description of Work) . Conversely, the SSEB may have a lower degree of confidence in offerors whose experience is limited to one or two particular kinds of work among the many described in paragraph 1 (Description of Work).

4.2.6. The Government will not consider multiple projects, such as individual task orders, combined to meet the minimum value.

4.2.7. Relevancy. Projects will be evaluated for relevancy based on the information provided in the project’s description in block 4 of the PPQ. With respect to relevancy, more positive past performance experience on relevant projects will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment. Past performance ratings on projects that are not relevant will not be considered.

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings.

Ratings Definitions 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.

4.2.8. Confidence Assessment. The past performance and experience record will be evaluated to determine how well the contractor performed on past projects. See paragraphs 4.2.3, 4.2.4 and 4.2.5 which include but do not limit other factors that will be considered in reaching a confidence assessment.

4.2.9. The Government will evaluate the Offeror's past performance and experience using the sources available to it including but not limited to: the example projects identified by the Offeror and submitted on the PPQs and any additional information received from references and CCASS/CPARS 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 impact the rating to be assessed.

4.2.10. The Government will consider past performance and experience of the prime construction contractor. If a firm has multiple functions or divisions, the Government will only evaluate the past performance and experience of the unit or division submitting the offer. The Government may also consider the past performance and experience information submitted on any other team member. However, the consideration and weight given to past performance and experience information concerning team members 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 and experience information submitted on a team member who does not perform a major or critical role on the projects submitted or whose role has not been clearly or adequately described as required may not be considered. Further, the consideration and weight given to past performance and experience information concerning team members other than the prime contractor will be based on the extent of the proposed involvement of the team member in the performance of this contract. If it is not clear that the team member will not perform a significant role in the performance of this contract, past performance information for that team member may be given less consideration and weight. 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 affecting the determination of relevancy and the usefulness of the information in determining a confidence rating despite the quality of recent, relevant past performance information.

4.2.11. Other Sources. In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources other than those provided by the Offeror for evaluating past performance and experience. These other sources may include but are not limited to, past performance and experience information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the proposal on the Proposal Data Sheet, 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. The Government will also consider available CCASS/CPARS ratings on relevant projects submitted by the Offeror under this factor and may consider up to five

(5) additional CCASS/CPARS ratings on recent, relevant projects as needed to evaluate past performance for each team member.

4.2.12. The Government will consider the relevant past performance and experience information, source of this information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor performance and experience on recent projects to reach a performance confidence assessment using the ratings in 4.2.14.

4.2.13. If no recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror’s performance record and experience is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned this factor will be assigned a rating of “Unknown Confidence (Neutral).

4.2.14. Past Performance Confidence Ratings

4.2.14.1. SUBSTANTIAL CONFIDENCE - Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record and experience, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

4.2.14.2. SATISFACTORY CONFIDENCE - Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record and experience, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

4.2.14.3. LIMITED CONFIDENCE - Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record and experience, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

4.2.14.4. NO CONFIDENCE - Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record and experience, the Government has a no expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

4.2.14.5. UNKNOWN CONFIDENCE (NEUTRAL) - No recent/relevant performance record and experience is available or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

5. PHASE I-TAB G - FACTOR 2 - DESIGN EXPERIENCE.

5.1. SUBMISSION REQUIRMENTS: The Offeror’s Designer shall demonstrate its capability to perform design work as might be required under this contract using the Standard Form 330 (SF330). The Offeror is required to complete ALL sections of Part I and Part II of the SF330. Directions for the Standard Form 330 can be found at Attachment 4. The Government will evaluate the completed SF330.

5.1.1. Staffing and Professional Qualifications. In Section E of the SF330, provide professional qualifications (appropriate education, experience and professional registration). At a minimum, Offerors must provide:

a. Architect (required)

b. Civil Engineer (required)

c. Mechanical Engineer (required)

d. Electrical Engineer (required)

Offeror should also provide:

e. Sub-Professional Architect

f. Topographic Surveyor

5.1.2. Specialized Experience and Technical Competence. Offerors must submit project examples demonstrating experience and technical competence in the design of projects meeting the construction dollar value and type of work criteria specified in paragraph 4.1.2.
