PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS, BASIS OF AWARD, AND EVALUATION CRITERIA

A. DESCRIPTION OF WORK

This Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits for a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) under which task orders for General Construction are expected to be issued for projects at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida. Work contemplated on this MATOC may be conducted for Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, National Guard and Reserve Components, and other Department of Defense (DoD) and Federal Agencies located on Tyndall Air Force Base. Task Orders issued under any resultant contract(s) will be Firm-Fixed Price and may be either for Design-Build or Design-Bid-Build General Construction. A project requiring use of civil funds is not authorized under this contract. (See solicitation section 01 11 00 for the complete scope of the anticipated contract to be awarded under this RFP.)

For the purposes of this solicitation, the Government will utilize the Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Process. In Phase One of the Two-Phase Design-Build selection procedure, interested Offerors will submit specified performance capability proposals for review, consideration and evaluation by the Government. The Government will evaluate these performance capability proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein.

The Government will evaluate the performance capability proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein and will select no more than six (6) of the most highly qualified Offerors to participate in Phase Two. Evaluations of both Phase One and Phase Two will be used in the selection of offerors for award of the MATOC.

Only those Offerors who receive a written notification from the Savannah District Contracting Officer that their firm has been selected to participate in Phase Two of this solicitation will be invited to submit a Phase Two proposal. Those Offerors selected for Phase Two will be provided the technical requirements package for a Seed Task Order that will be representative of the type work and task orders anticipated to be issued under any resultant contract(s).

B. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. This requirement will be advertised for full and open competition; any legally organized firm may submit a proposal. Offerors submitting as a joint venture must provide the agreement forming the joint venture.

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. Only exceptions to this is that the designer of record will be evaluated in Factor 2.

Offerors shall submit their proposal to the address shown in the schedule of the Notes to Offererors section of Standard Form 1442.

In an effort to reduce paperwork and reduce cost, all proposals shall be submitted electronically, except for the Bid Bond (required in Phase II).

All submissions shall be in Adobe PDF format. 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:

W912HN20R3XXX_COMPANY NAME_ VOLUME I

W912HN20R3XXX_COMPANY NAME_ VOLUME II

W912HN20R3XXX_COMPANY NAME_ VOLUME III

W912HN20R3XXX_COMPANY NAME_ VOLUME IV

Submit proposals electronically via the ARL SAFE website at:

https://safe.apps.mil/

***Offerors are required to submit a primary and secondary point of contact (POC) to Tonja Brazeau-Dreke (Tonja.J.Dreke@usace.army.mil). Once received, you will receive an email notification from the DoD SAFE with language that “this is a request from (Contract Specialist’s name) of USACE. Please click on the link below and drop off the file or files I have requested. This link is only valid for 14 days from the time of this email.” *** Please do this as soon as possible to ensure the request is received in enough time to submit your Phase Two proposal.

The link provided in the email described above will take you to a site which states that “This web page will allow you to drop-off (upload) one or more files for anyone (either a DoD user or others). The recipient will receive an automated email containing the information you enter below and instructions for downloading the file.” This site allows up to 8192MB. You will see a prompt to “Click to Add Files or Drag Them Here.” Once all files are uploaded, select “Drop-off Files.” Please note this link is only available once—any missed or forgotten documents that were not uploaded will need to be sent via new link and a new request will be required by the Contract Specialist.

When your proposal is submitted via the DoD SAFE website, the website will provide notification of the submittal to the Government recipient(s).

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 DoD SAFE website, not by the date and time of uploading of the proposal into the DoD 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.

Proposals are due no later than the time and date specified in Block 13 of Standard Form 1442.

2. SUBMITTAL OF OFFERS:

a) Offerors submitting proposals for this project should limit submissions to data essential for evaluation of proposals so that a minimum of time and monies will have been expended in preparing information required herein. However, in order to be effectively and equitably evaluated, the proposals must include information sufficiently detailed to clearly describe the Offeror's experience and capability, past performance, and use of small business necessary for successful completion of the project. Requirements stated in this RFP are minimums.

b) Innovative, creative or cost-saving proposals that meet or exceed the requirements are encouraged and will be rated accordingly.

c) The Offeror’s conformance with the specified format, submission requirements, and the Offeror’s attention to detail (e.g., typographical, grammatical, and reference errors) will be considered during the technical evaluation and trade-off. Failure to comply with the formatting and/or submission requirements or a lack of attention to detail may be seen as indicative of the type of problems that could be expected during contract performance. Lack of conformance or attention to detail could therefore result in a higher risk assessment, in addition to any other impacts on the evaluation. Material omission(s) may result in a deficiency, which will cause the technical proposal to be rejected as unacceptable. However, in accordance with FAR 52.215-1, the Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals.

d) Technical proposals that do not provide the specified information in the specified location in accordance with the submission instructions may be found to have weaknesses or significant weaknesses. The Government is under no obligation to search for information that is not in the specified location.

e) Responses that are essentially blanket offers of compliance are not adequate substitutes for the detailed and complete technical information necessary to establish that an Offeror can meet Government needs. The proposal submission instructions are written to give prospective contractors, where feasible, an indication of the level of detail desired by the Government. The Offeror’s failure to include information that the Government has indicated should be included may result in the proposal being assigned a (significant) weakness and/or being found deficient if inadequate detail is provided.

f) Any prescribed page and formatting limitations will be strictly adhered to and enforced by the Government. The Government will not evaluate any excess information resulting from the Offeror’s failure to comply with the submission instructions.

g) Conditioning of Offer. Do not include exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the technical or price proposal volumes. Inclusion of any standard company terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in a determination that the offer is unacceptable and thus ineligible for award. Resolve questions about the terms and conditions or technical requirements of the solicitation prior to submission of the offer; see “Instructions to Proposer”, located in Section 00 21 16, for instructions. Notwithstanding the above, the Offeror must clearly describe in the proposal cover sheet submitted with the price volume any exceptions, within the offer, to the contractual and/or technical terms and conditions of the solicitation.

h) Restrictions on Offeror-Provided Information. “Confidential” projects cannot be submitted to demonstrate capability unless all of the information required for evaluation as specified herein can nonetheless be provided to the Government as part of the Offeror’s technical proposal. Confidential Project is defined as projects containing confidential information of which reasonably could be expected to cause damage to the national security with the unauthorized disclosure. Offerors that include in their proposals information that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, must clearly mark the information in accordance with FAR 52.215-1, “Instructions to Offeror – Competitive Acquisition”, paragraph (e), “Restriction on disclosure and use of data”. Files shall not contain classified data.

a) SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

1) The Offeror shall demonstrate a record of construction performance and experience on recent and relevant projects using the Past Performance Questionnaire Summary Sheet (Attachment 2) and the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attachment 3) or CCASS/CPARS. The PPQ is provided for the Offeror 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 to ensure timely submittal of completed 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), Tonja Brazeau-Dreke. Request may be made via email to Tonja.J.Dreke@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.

2) Offerors are cautioned that the information submitted pertaining to a project shall be limited to the PPQ form and an additional page referenced below and shall contain enough information to determine the similarity and relevancy of a project. Likewise, Project Information submitted in a format other than or in lieu of the PPQ format or CCASS /CPARS will not be considered. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other solicitations. Offerors may submit PPQs submitted on other procurements provided they are on the NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire Form. Offerors may attach one additional single-sided page (per PPQ) to further describe how the project is similar to the RFP requirements.

In addition to the PPQ or CCASS/CPARS, 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 shall include information for all columns.

Offerors may identify state and local government and private contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements described in D.1.b) 1).

If the Offeror is a joint venture, the projects do not have to have been performed by the joint venture submitting the offer. These project could have been performed by either company in the joint venture. Offerors are advised to submit projects wherein the Offeror, or proposed joint venture members, played a significant role and to clearly define those roles. If any Offeror has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division or unit submitting the offer. Ensure that the PPQs or CCASS/CPARS submitted for this Factor clearly describe the relevant characteristics of the project.

b) PARAMETERS:

1) Offeror shall submit a minimum of three (3), but no more than five (5), recent relevant projects that have a minimum value of no less than $40 million each. Projects with similar size, scope, and complexity of the following may be considered relevant projects:

Design-build or design-bid-build construction of Medical Facilities, Headquarters and Operational Facilities, Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs), Administrative & Office Buildings, Educational Facilities, Military Training Facilities, Weapons Training Facilities, Animal Training & Storage Facilities, Religious Facilities, Recreational & Storage Facilities, Dining Facilities, Vehicle Maintenance Facilities, Aircraft Storage Facilities, Air Traffic Control Towers/Facilities, Barracks Buildings, Ranges, and Access Control Points.

2) At least one of the five projects MUST be Design-Build construction.

3) All projects must be successfully completed or fully designed and at least 50% construction progress completed within six (6) 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) Offerors shall submit no more than five (5) PPQs or CCASS/CPARS in accordance with D.1.a) 1). Project information on a PPQ shall be limited to the PPQ and one additional page. 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 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 is submitting as a Joint Venture, no more than five (5) total project examples may be submitted for the entire JV. If an Offeror submits more than five (5) total project examples, only the first five (5) will be evaluated. Offerors are advised to submit projects wherein the Offeror played a significant role and to clearly define those roles. Offerors shall submit only projects wherein the Offeror or proposed joint venture members were the prime contractors and played a significant role in the successful completion of the project. 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.

5) 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 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. If a CPARS evaluation exists for a submitted project, it will be considered.

6) 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.

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

c) EVALUATION CRITERIA:

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.

2) 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.

3) Projects must meet the minimum criteria in paragraph D.1.b) in order to be considered recent and relevant and will be evaluated against the requirements of the RFP. The Government will not consider multiple projects, such as individual task orders, combined to meet the minimum value. Projects will be evaluated for relevancy based on the description of the project. Past performance evaluations on projects that are not recent and relevant will not be considered.

4) Table 1. Past Performance Relevancy Rating Method:

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the 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.

d) CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT:

1) Offerors may increase the SSEB’s level of confidence in Past Performance if they are able to demonstrate successful performance in a wide variety of work as described in paragraph D.1.b)1). Conversely, the SSEB may have a decreased level of confidence in Offerors whose experience is limited amongst the project types described in D.1.b)1). Offerors may increase the SSEB’s level of confidence if they submit more than one Design-Build projects.

2) 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 or CCASS/CPARS and any additional information received from references and other 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.

3) The Government will consider the recency of the performance, the relevancy including the context of the data, and the quality of the performance and general trends in performance and source of the information to reach a confidence assessment rating using Past Performance Confidence Ratings. S

4) 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).

5) Past Performance Confidence Ratings:

Table 2. Confidence Ratings

offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

2. Phase One, Volume II, Tab G – Factor 2 – Design Experience:

a) SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS and PARAMETERS:

1) Offeror shall submit a narrative not to exceed a total of five (5) single side pages describing its Design Experience or the intended Designer of Record’s (DOR) experience on a minimum of three (3), but no more than five (5) projects that have a minimum construction value of no less than $40 million each and that demonstrate Design Experience similar to the various requirements described in paragraph D.1.b)1) and subparagraphs.

2) Two of the five projects MUST be Design-Build construction. Projects must be fully designed within six (6) years preceding the date of this solicitation. In the narrative, clearly state the project construction cost, if design-build or design-bid-build, the role of the AE, and date of design completion.

3) In addition to the five (5) page narrative, Offerors may submit an additional two (2) single sided pages describing the relationship between the Prime and the Designer of Record for the performance of a subsequent contract (business agreement, formal arrangement, etc.).

NOTE: Government reserves the right to check past performance on any of the projects submitted via any means available such as CCASS or interview other individuals if the point of contact is not available.

b) EVALUATION CRITERIA – Design Experience:

1) Design Experience: The evaluation considers the demonstrated record of the Offeror’s DOR experience on recent and relevant projects that involve a similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities as this solicitation requires.

2) Offerors may receive additional consideration in meeting the requirements of this Factor if they are able to demonstrate the successful design experience of the DOR in a wide variety of work as described in paragraph D. 1. b) 1) and subparagraphs. Conversely, the DORs may receive less consideration from the SSEB if the experience is limited amongst the project types described in paragraph D.1.b)1). DORs may receive additional consideration from the SSEB if they submit more than three Design-Build projects. DORs may also receive additional consideration if they submit evidence of business agreement/level of commitment to the Prime Offeror.

FACTOR 1: PAST PERFORMANCE. This factor is the most important factor

FACTOR 2: DESIGN EXPERIENCE. This factor is the least important factor.

4. PHASE 1 – PROPOSAL EVALUATION.

a) The SSEB will be established to conduct the evaluation of proposals received in response to this solicitation. An initial review will take place to ensure that all required forms and certifications are complete and that both a technical and price proposal were received at the Phase they are required.

b) 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.

c) 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. Comments are required for all ratings.

d) The final 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 Offerors, if any, will proceed to Phase Two.

E. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA – PHASE 2 - (Seed Task Order)
