PHASE 2

PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS and EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

OVERVIEW

This Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits for a Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) under which task orders for General Construction are expected to be issued with work primarily in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisianan, and Mississippi. However, performance of work may be required in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Puerto Rico geographical boundary on an excepted basis as determined by the Contracting Officer. Work may also be performed at other Federal Facilities outside the above- stated geographical boundary on an excepted basis as determined by the Contracting Officer. Task Orders issued under any resultant contract(s) will be Firm-Fixed Price and may be either of a Construction or Design/Build nature. A project requiring use of appropriated civil funds is not authorized under this contract.

This Phase II solicitation requires among other items the offerer to evaluate an example project and provide preliminary design information in the form of a narrative with supporting sketches, figures or graphics as the offerer sees appropriate. No site visit or verification of field measurements will be conducted. The example project is considered fictitious and will not result in a task order under the contract. No additional information for the example project will be provided and the offerer should use their best judgment based on what is given to prepare the preliminary design and cost submittals.

Volume I and II were provided in Phase I. The offerer shall submit a Volume III as follows:

VOLUME III

TAB I – Standard Form 1442 and all amendments, completed and signed by authorized individual(s) of the Offerer. Offers submitted in the name of a Joint Venture must be signed in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the joint venture agreement as evidenced in the Phase I proposal.

TAB J– FACTOR 4 Technical Approach

A example project scope of work at Fort Benning is provided in this solicitation. The Offerer will submit a design narrative with conceptual design sketches, figures and/or graphics not exceeding ten (81/2 ‘X 11”) pages. The offerer shall submit a quantitative proposal for the sample project utilizing R.S. Means Cost Works. Offerors final proposed price for the example project will be submitted on Bid Schedule B with Cost Breakdown. The offerer shall provide all supporting documents to include the R.S Means Cost Works program construction data break out, non-prices items, etc. Offerer’s proposal shall be prepared and meet the requirements as stated in Section 3, Task Order Calculations, Instructions for Use of Coeffecients, Task Order Proposal and Costs.

Offerors shall apply their proposed Area Coefficient for Fort Benning and their proposed Home Office Overhead for the base period to this project.

CRITERIA:

Offerors will be evaluated on their technical approach to the sample project presented in the design narrative, conceptual design sketches and supporting data along with their construction estimate utilizing the applicable Construction Specification Institute (CSI) numbers, appropriate quantities and RS Means cost estimating data submittal (Cost Works). Offerors will also be evaluated on how well they understand the required application of their proposed coefficient and mark-ups.

Technical Approach Ratings

OUTSTANDING - Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

GOOD - Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

ACCEPTABLE - Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

MARGINAL - Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

UNACCEPTABLE - Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is not awardable.

TAB K – FACTOR 5 Costs / Price

Proposal Pricing Schedule, Section 00010—Schedule A, Capacity/Coefficient Bid Schedule.

Costs / Price will be a factor in establishing the competitive range and in making the best value decision for award of any resultant contract.

Coefficients for firm-fixed price type task orders shall be proposed and submitted on the Task Order Pricing Schedule shown at Section 00010

- Schedule A of the solicitation.

The Government will perform a price analysis on all proposals received. Phase II Price analysis will be performed on Schedule A in accordance with FAR 15.404-1, to determine fairness and reasonableness. Historical price information, competitive price information, the Independent Government Estimate (IGE), or any other pricing tool as necessary will can be utilized in this analysis. The evaluation will determine the extent to which the price proposal is consistent with the requirements of the RFP. Offerors are advised that any offer wherein pricing is deemed unreasonable will be rendered ineligible for award.

The Government shall use the total evaluated price from Schedule A as the evaluated price for making the best value decision.

BASIS FOR AWARD

The following evaluation factors will be used in Phase II to evaluate each proposal: Phase II is based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors below.

Factor 4: Technical: Evaluation of the offerers’ proposal shall address criteria as it applies to the Performance Work Statement (PWS). A detailed explanation of the criteria for the evaluation is set forth in the “Evaluation Approach”, Paragraph C of this section. During evaluations of each proposal, the Government will assign each factor an adjectival rating and write a narrative evaluation reflecting the identified findings.

Factor 5: Cost/Price: Price reasonableness will be utilized in the evaluation of the Firm-Fixed Price effort.

Relative Importance of Factors: All non-price factors (Phase I Factors 1 ,2 ,3 ,and Phase II Factor 4) are equal. Non-price factors when combined are approximately equal to the Cost/ Price factor (Factor 5)..

C. EVALUATION APPROACH

All proposals shall be subject to evaluation by the Source Selection Team (SST).

1. The overarching evaluation approach for all factors is as follows:

a) Adequacy of Response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offerers methods and approach have adequately and completely considered, defined, and satisfied the requirements specified in the RFP. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which each requirement has been addressed in the proposal in accordance with the proposal submission section of the RFP.

b) Feasibility of Approach. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the proposed approach is workable and the end results achievable. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which successful performance is contingent upon proven devices and techniques. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the offerer is expected to be able to successfully complete the proposed tasks and technical requirements within the required schedule.

The Technical Factor Ratings, excerpted below focus on the strengths, deficiencies, weaknesses, risks and uncertainties of the offerers’ proposal.

The color rating depicts how well the offerers’ proposal meets the Technical sub factor requirements.

3. Cost/Price Factor. The Government will perform a price analysis on all proposals received. Price analysis will be performed on Schedule A in accordance with FAR 15.404-1, to determine fairness and reasonableness. Historical price information, competitive price information, the Independent Government Estimate (IGE), or any other pricing tool as necessary will be utilized in this analysis. The evaluation will determine the extent to which the price proposal is consistent with the requirements of the RFP. Offerors are advised that any offer wherein pricing is deemed unfair or unreasonable will be rendered ineligible for award. The Government shall use the total evaluated price from Schedule A as the evaluated price for making the best value decision. Should the Government determine proposed prices are unrealistically low (an indication of “buy-in”), this will be considered a performance risk.

3. TASK ORDER CALCULATIONS.

3.1 . Calculating Total Cost.

3.1.1. In calculating the total cost, R.S. Means, the area coefficient (AC), U.S. National Averages (USNA), Home Office Overhead (HOOH), Field Office Overhead (FOOH) and Profit are all considered. When applicable, design costs and NC state taxes are also considered.

3.1.2. Using R.S. Means Database:

3.1.2.1. The offerer shall use the electronic version in developing a proposal. Each proposal will be generated from CostWorks using a CSI Number: The R.S. Means database consists of a Master Format System of classifications and numbering developed by the Construction Specification Institute (CSI). Each line item in the database has its own unique CSI identifier. The offeror shall use the electronic version in developing a proposal, selecting the appropriate CSI number(s) in the RS Means Cost works program for each individual item. R.S. Means is updated quarterly each year. The offeror must select the location. Typically, the City Cost Indexes are electronically applied to the CSI items.

However, for this contract, the offerer is required to use the USNA. The example shown below is for informational purposes only:

3.1.2.2. Example: Design and construct a 10,000 SF Building: Combination Warehouse & Offices (typical for 10 locations): 125’x 80’x20’H, masonry structure.

A. Install an 8’x8’ (Commercial) wood Overhead Door in each building; including trim, hardware, and painting. Doors shall also have electric openers (including hardware) installed.

B. Install 10 Exterior wood doors (3’x6’-8”), frames, trim and hardware in each structure. Doors shall be weather-stripped, stained and finished.

C. Each building (10) shall have its front face (125’x20’) painted (2 coats exterior latex) D. Install 10 Wrought iron security Doors, including hardware, in same opening as exterior wood doors.

NOTE: Example provided is only a small representation of all items needed for a complete Task Order Proposal.

Using the appropriate electronic version of R.S. Means the offeror shall select the appropriate CSI line item number. Below shows an Example of the CSI numbers utilizing the “Bare Costs”:

SF $2,500.00 $5,750.00 $0 $8,250.00

3.1.3. Applying the Area Coefficient:

3.1.3.1. Next sum all of the Bare Cost Totals for all of the CSI items to get a total direct cost. Then apply the Area Coefficient to get the Area Coefficient Total for the task order.

Net Sum of all Bare Cost Totals = $7,950,000.00 (Warehouse) + $25,839.20 (Overhead Door) + $11,606.20 (Exterior Doors) + $8,250.00 (Painting) = $7,995,695.40 Then the proposed Area Coefficient is applied.

Area Coefficient Total = Net Sum of all Bare Cost Totals X Area Coefficient

For Example A: If your Area Coefficient is a net decrease of 0.95, your Area Coefficient Total would be: $7,995,695.40 X 0.95 = $7,595,910.63

Or

For Example B: If your Area Coefficient is a net increase of 1.20, your Area Coefficient Total would be: $7,995,695.40 X 1.20 = $9,594,834.48

3.1.4. Applying Sales Taxes (where applicable):

3.1.4.1. Only for projects in North Carolina, offeror will apply state taxes pertinent to that city/county to material costs only. Taxes will be calculated and added to the Area Coefficient Total to calculate the Adjusted Area Coefficient Subtotal:

For example Sales Taxes are 7%:

Single solid wood colonial door, 6 panel fir, 6’-8” X 3’-0” with food frame and trim. Stained & finished including hardware and weatherstripping $7,839.60 $548.77

Spray painting siding: Primer & 2 coats exterior latex $2,500.00 $175.00

Total Taxes $1,827.87

Adjusted Area Coefficient Subtotal = Area Coefficient Total + Total Taxes Example A: $7,595,910.63 + $1,827.87 = $7,597,738.50

Example B: $9,594,834.48 + $1,827.87 = $9,596,662.35

3.1.5. Applying Field Office Overhead (FOOH):

3.1.5.1. Next offeror will submit an itemized list of FOOH expenses utilizing R.S. Means. FOOH will be negotiated and added to the Adjusted Area Coefficient Total to calculate the Prime Total Direct Cost (PTDC):

For example if your (negotiated) FOOH is $5,000:

PTDC = Adjusted Area Coefficient Total + FOOH Example A: $7,597,738.50 + $5,000 = $7,602,738.50 Example B: $9,596,662.35 + $5,000 = $9,601,662.35

3.1.6. Applying Home Office Overhead (HOOH):

3.1.6.1. After calculating the Subtotal, the (fixed) HOOH will be calculated.

For this Example if your HOOH is 5%:

Construction Subtotal = PTDC x HOOH

Example A: $7,602,738.50 x 5% = ($380,136.93) + $7,602,738.50 = $7,982,875.43 Example B: $9,601,662.35 x 5% = ($480,083.12) + $9,601,662.35 = $10,081,745.47

3.1.7. Including Non-Priced Item:

3.1.7.1. Next offeror will submit three (3) itemized quotes list for items not located in R.S. Means. Non-Priced Items will be negotiated and added to the PTDC + HOOH to calculate the Construction Subtotal:

The Wrought Iron Screen was not found in R.S. Means, therefore, three quotes were submitted.

Quote Description Qty Unit Materials Installation Unit Cost Total

Wrought Iron Security Doors, hardware not included in cost

10 EA $333.00 $89.00 $422.00 $4,220.00

(3’X6’8”) Wrought Iron Security

Doors, installed; including hardware

10 EA $540.00 $129.00 $669.00 $6,690.00

Wrought Iron Security Doors, (3’X

6’-8”) including hardware

10 EA $718.00 $119.00 $837.00 $8,370.00

Quote Number 1 was not selected because the price did not include hardware; Quote Number 2 was selected because all scope requirements were met; Quote Number 3 was not selected, although the scope requirements were met, the price was higher than Quote Number 2.

Costs for Non-Priced Items shall include their mark-ups for Field Office Overhead, Home Office Overhead and Bond Premium.

Let’s Say for Selected Quote Number 2:

Wrought Iron Security Doors = $6,690.00 Field Office Overhead is 5%: $6,690.00 x 5% = $334.50 $7,024.50 Home Office Overhead is 10%: $7,024.50 x 10% = 702.45 $7,726.95 Bond Premium is 1%: $7,726.95 x 1% = $77.27

Total for Non-Priced Item (w/mark-ups) = $7,804.22

Construction Subtotal = (PTDC + HOOH) + Non-Priced Item(s) Example A: $7,982,875.43 + $7,804.22 = $7,990,679.65

Example B: $10,081,745.47 +$7,804.22 = $10,089,549.69

3.1.8. Applying Profit:

3.1.8.1. After calculating the Construction Subtotal the (negotiated) Profit will be applied to achieve the Construction Total for the Task Order.

For this Example if your Profit is 8%:

Construction Total = (Construction Subtotal x Profit) Example A: $7,990,679.65 x 8% = ($639,254.37) + $7,990,679.65 = $8,629,934.02 [$8,629,934]* Example B: $10,089,549.69 x 8% = ($807,163.98) + $10,089,549.69 = $10,896,713.66 [$10,896,714]*

*For ease of calculations, please round final numbers.

3.1.9. Calculating Design Fee:

3.1.9.1. After achieving the Construction Total for the Task Order, Design Fee will be calculated as a percentage of the Construction Total.

Design Fees are located in R.S. Means and are based on a percentage of the construction cost. These fees will be negotiated for each Task Order and added as a separate line item on the Offerors proposal.

For this Example if your Design Fee is 4% of the construction cost then the design cost is calculated as:

Design Costs = Construction Total x Fee % Example A: $8,629,934.02 x 4% = $345,197.36 [$345,197]* Example B: $10,896,713.66 x 4% = $435,868.55 [$435,869]*

*For ease of calculations, please round final numbers.
