TAB C –Joint Venture Agreement (Duplicate of Volume I) TAB F – FACTOR 1 Past Performance TAB G - FACTOR 2 Design Experience.

4. PHASE ONE – 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 and relevant projects. Offerors must submit a completed Past Performance Questionnaire Summary Sheet, Attachment 2. Offerors may use the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), Attachment 3 at the end of this section 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 and an additional page if used, must contain sufficient information for the government to determine the relevancy of the project.

Offerors may attach one additional single-sided page (per PPQ) to further describe how the project is similar to the RFP requirements.

Offerors may also submit a CPARS evaluation for each relevant project in lieu of a PPQ. Ensure that the PPQs or CPARS evaluations submitted for this Factor clearly describe the relevant characteristics of the project to include the client’s information (Name(s), Phone Number(s), Email Address), and 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), Kisha Cook.

Request may be made via email to nikisha.w.cook@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 or CPARS evaluation and an additional page 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 evaluation will not be considered. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other solicitations.

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 shall include information for all columns.

Offerors may submit information about state and local government and private contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements described in 4.1.2.

If the Offeror is a joint venture, the projects do not have to have been performed by the joint venture submitting the offer. The project could have been performed by either company in the joint venture. 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.

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.

4.1.2 Offeror shall submit a minimum of three (3) projects, but no more than five (5) total, recent relevant projects that have a minimum value of no less than $20 million each. The Government will not consider multiple projects, such as individual task orders, combined to meet the minimum value. 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 further to determine the level of relevancy. The SSEB may increase an offeror’s confidence rating if it submits more design build projects that meet the stated criteria than design bid build projects.

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.

4.1.3 Offerors shall submit no more than five (5) PPQs (Attachment 3) or CPARS evaluations in accordance with 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. Where a project was awarded as a task order or delivery order under an IDIQ type contract, submit information specific to the task or delivery order considered relevant to the requirements of this RFP, rather than the umbrella contract. If an Offeror submits more than five (5) total project examples, only the first five (5) will be evaluated.

4.1.4 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.

4.1.5 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.

4.1.6 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.

4.1.7 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 Projects must meet the minimum criteria in paragraph 4.1.2 in order to be considered recent and relevant and will be evaluated against the requirements of the RFP. Projects will be evaluated for relevancy based on the description of the project. Information about projects that are not relevant will not be considered.

Table 4. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Method:

Rating Definition

Very Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

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.

4.2.3 Confidence Assessment:

4.2.3.1 Offerors may increase the SSEB’s level of confidence if they are able to demonstrate successful performance in a wide variety of work as described in paragraph 4.1.2. Conversely, the SSEB may have a decreased level of confidence in Offerors whose experience is limited amongst the project types described in paragraph

4.1.2. Offerors may increase the SSEB’s level of confidence if they submit more than three Design-Build projects. Offerors may increase the Source Selection Evaluation Board’s (SSEB) level of confidence by demonstrating previous experience where the Offeror and the design firm(s) in Factor 2 worked together.

4.2.3.2 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 and any additional information received from references and 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.

4.2.3.3 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.

4.2.3.4 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).

4.2.4 Past Performance

Confidence Ratings:

Table 5 Confidence Ratings

Rating Definition Substantial Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence

(2) single pages describing the relationship between the Offeror and the Designer of Record for the performance of contract as a result of this solicitation (business agreement, formal arrangement, etc.).

5.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

5.2.1 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.

5.2.2 Offerors may receive additional consideration for this Factor if it is able to demonstrate the successful design experience of the DOR in a wide variety of work as described in paragraph 5.1.1 or may receive additional consideration if more than one Design-Build projects is submitted. Conversely, offerors may receive less consideration if the experience is limited amongst the project types described in paragraph

5.1.1. Offerors may also receive additional consideration based on evidence of business agreement/level of commitment between the DOR and the Offeror.

8.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA

8.2.1 FACTOR 3 – DESIGN TECHNICAL APPROACH – QUALITY

OF BUILDING SYSTEMS:

a. It is the Army's objective that the Seed/Sample project will have a 50-year useful life. The design and construction should provide an appropriate level of quality to ensure the continued use of the facility over that time period with the application of reasonable preventive maintenance and repairs that would be industry-acceptable to a major civilian sector project OWNER. The facility design should consider that the Army may repurpose the use of the facility over the 50-year life.

Within that overriding theme the Government will evaluate the Offeror selected systems and components proposed in terms of warranties provided, maintenance considerations (frequency, estimated cost, access, equipment locations), operability (ease of use, placement of control features, simplicity), durability (withstand troop usage, ease of cleaning), sustainability, and energy consumption (HVAC, lighting, power, etc.).

The minimum acceptable level of quality for finishes and materials for these buildings are those materials suitable for the expected population and usage. Residential or similar grade finishes and materials are not acceptable.

b. The Government encourages the Offeror to place emphasis on those design features which optimize and emphasize functional/operational requirements; interior/exterior finishes and systems; and life cycle/ energy efficiency. The following items will be considered in the evaluation of the building systems and materials of the Seed/Sample task order:

1) Architectural Finishes. Proposals include finishes which provide usable spaces for the intended purposes. Proposals will receive additional consideration for materials offered that include extended warranties, longer life expectancies, sustainability, durability (stand up to troop usage), have low maintenance requirements, and enhance the overall life cycle cost efficiency of the facility.

2) Architectural Components and Systems. Proposals include components and systems that provide the basic function necessary.

Proposals will receive additional consideration for components and systems offered that include extended warranties, longer life expectancies, sustainability, durability (stand up to troop usage), have low maintenance requirements, and enhance the overall life cycle cost efficiency of the facility.
