NOTES TO BIDDERS

Note 1: In order to be considered for award, the offeror must submit a coefficient for each line item above. The Government uses these multipliers to determine the price of work for each task on individual delivery orders. The prices established in the RS MEANS® (current year) database bare costs (which means no markup for overhead and profit (O&P)) column, will be multiplied by the City Cost Index Weighted Average Total for the closest city, and the coefficient to arrive at the actual price for a unit of work. The coefficients shall be represented as"net", a "decrease from" or an "increase to" the prices listed in the RS MEANS®. An offer of "net" would be represented as "1.0." An example of a decrease from the prices in RS MEANS® would be "0.98." An example of an increase above the prices listed in the RS MEANS® would be "1.10."

Note 2: If the Government directs a work schedule during nonstandard hours, then the coefficients entered for the nonstandard hours, as appropriate, shall be applied against those items of work, which will be performed during the nonstandard hours. The price for the remaining items of work is calculated using the coefficients entered for standard hour work, as appropriate. The term "nonstandard working hours" is not to be interpreted as "overtime."

THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO ALL GENERAL DECISIONS

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is union or non-union.

Union Identifiers

An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" denotes that the union classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that classification. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2011. The first four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and the four-digit number, 0198, that follows indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable , i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2011, following these characters is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate/collective bargaining agreement which would be July 1, 2011 in the above example.

Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any changes in the collective bargaining agreements governing the rate.

Non-Union Identifiers

Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived from survey data by computing average rates and are not union rates; however, the data used in computing these rates may include both union and non-union data. Example: SULA2004-007 5/13/2010. SU indicates the rates are not union rates, LA indicates the State of Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the survey; and 007 is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. A 1993 or later date, 5/13/2010, indicates the classifications and rates under that identifier were issued as a General Wage Determination on that date.

Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change until a new survey is conducted.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)

and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

00120 EVALUATION FACTORS

SECTION 00120 – EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1. GOVERNMENT INTENT RELATING TO AWARD. It is the Government’s intent to award a single Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Job Order Contract (JOC) pursuant to this solicitation.

1.1. BASIS FOR AWARD

1.1.1. Evaluation and Selection Procedures. The tradeoff process has been determined as appropriate for this acquisition. In accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), the Government may award the resulting contract to other than the lowest priced or highest technically rated offer.

1.1.2. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without conducting discussions with offerors. Therefore, Offerors are reminded to include their best technical and price terms in their initial offer and not to automatically assume there will be an opportunity to participate in discussions or submit a revised offer.

Exception to the contractual terms and conditions of the solicitation (e.g., standard company terms and conditions) may result in rejection of a proposal.

1.1.3. Proposals must meet the criteria stated in the RFP in order to be eligible for award, to include responsiveness and technical acceptability. The evaluation of technical capability will be accomplished without reference to cost. If no award on initial offers is made under the authority of the Clause entitled, “Instructions To Offerors – Competitive Acquisition ” of this solicitation, then the procedures of FAR Subpart 15.3-Source Selection and DOD Source Selection Procedures will be followed in making a recommendation for award which will be provided to the Contracting Officer as a basis for final determination. Offerors are advised that subjective judgment on the part of the Government evaluators is implicit in the entire process.

1.1.4. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer deems it necessary. In addition, if the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. Should a competitive range be established, the Government will conduct discussions in accordance with FAR 15.306.

1.1.5. Award will be made to the offeror whom the Government determines will be able to accomplish the necessary work in the manner most advantageous to the Government and whose offer represents the best value to the Government, as determined by the Source Selection Authority (SSA) after considering all factors. Best value means the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement.

1.1.6. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer(s), and to reject any and all offers.

2. TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTORS. The technical factors being evaluated are listed below. All offeror’s proposals will be evaluated for technical quality and assigned an adjectival rating based upon the criteria set forth herein. Past Performance will be assigned a Performance confidence assessment.

Factor 1 – Specialized Experience Factor 2 – Past Performance Factor 3 – Management Approach

FACTOR 1 – SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE

I. Submission Requirements. Factor 1, Specialized Experience submission requirements are as follows:

a. The contractor shall each demonstrate recent, relevant experience on similar contracts using the provided Attachment 1, “SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE CONTRACT INFORMATION SHEETS”. Offerors shall identify Federal, state and local government and private contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements.

b. Contracts will be considered similar to this procurement if they are similar in complexity, type, scope and magnitude. Contracts which do not meet the minimum criteria specified below SHALL NOT be considered.

Contracts which meet the specified minimum criteria and which also meet some or all of the additional criteria specified below may be more highly rated.

1. Minimum Criteria: Contracts submitted by the Offeror should include minor construction or renovation projects with a total contract value of no less than $2 million per year. Contracts submitted shall be similar to IDIQ, single and/or multiple award task order contracts or job order contracts.

2.

II. Evaluation Criteria. Factor 1, Specialized Experience will be evaluated using the following Criteria.

a. The Government will evaluate the extent of recent, relevant experience of the contractor. The Government may place greater importance on contracts performed as a prime contractor than as a subcontractor, depending upon overall role and relevancy of the contract.

The submission of each Past Performance Assessment Sheet shall not exceed two pages. The Offeror shall provide clear and adequate information in response to the past performance elements identified on Attachment 2. Past performance information submitted under this factor shall be on the same contracts submitted for consideration under Factor 1, Specialized Experience. The Government may call and confirm information provided by the offeror on the Past Performance Assessment Sheet with the points of contact. The Government reserves the right to interview other individuals if the point of contact is not available.

b. The Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 3) included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project the offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 1, Specialized Experience. If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ. See Section 00110, Instructions to Offerors, Volume II, Tab H for instructions on submission of the PPQ.

(1) Offerors shall include in their proposal the written consent of the proposed subcontractors to allow the Government to discuss the subcontractors’ past performance evaluation with the offeror during any discussions. The Government will verify/ validate information on both prime and subcontractors that an offeror provides in its proposal.

(3) 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.

c. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

d. 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: PPIRS, other Government sources, and telephone interviews with organizations or individuals familiar with the Offeror’s performance. PPIRS ratings on all relevant contracts submitted by the Offeror under Tab G as well as up to 10

PPIRS ratings on contracts considered relevant in accordance with Factor 1, paragraph I.b and Factor 2, paragraph.I.a will be considered.

II. Evaluation Criteria. Factor 2, Past Performance will be evaluated using the following Criteria.

a. The Government will evaluate the Offeror's past performance using the sources available to it including but not limited to: the example contracts identified by the Offeror and submitted on the Past Performance Assessment Sheets, The Past Performance Questionnaire, any additional information received from references, and PPIRS.

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.

b. To be deemed relevant, projects must comply with criteria specified herein and should include minor construction or renovation projects with a total contract value of no less than $2 million per year. Contracts submitted shall be similar to IDIQ, single and/or multiple award task order contracts or job order contracts. 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, PPIRS or other agency performance databases, Offeror furnished references or personal knowledge.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

d. 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.
