3.2. VOLUME 2, OFFEROR TECHNICAL CAPABILITY PROPOSAL

Volume 2 Technical, Part 1 is comprised of seven (7) subfactors:

Subfactor 1 – Experience and Capability Subfactor 2 – Organization Subfactor 3 – Specific Personnel Subfactor 4 – Quality Control Subfactor 5 – Scheduling Methodology Subfactor 6 – Safety Subfactor 7 – LEED (applies only to Offerors requesting projects > $1M)

See Section 00120 Evaluation factors for detailed requirements for each of the above sub-factors.

3.2.1. General Instructions: The Technical proposal shall be submitted in accordance with the instruction contained herein and on Exhibit D. In no case shall statements such as “we comply with the requirements of the contract” or its equivalent be acceptable to meet the requirements of this request for proposal. A proposal that merely reiterates or promises to accomplish the requirements of the RFP will be considered unacceptable. A proposal that is orderly and sufficiently documented will enable the Government to easily understand and perform a thorough and fair evaluation. This should preclude the rejection of a proposal due to items not being addressed.

3.2.2. The Government acknowledges that this will involve discussion of some of the same projects/contracts discussed in the Present/Past Performance volume. While Present/Past Performance examines how an offeror performed in the past, so as to determine the probability of success on future projects, this subfactor examines the offeror’s experience with multidiscipline project management and execution and how the offeror demonstrates an understanding of the contract’s requirements taking this experience into consideration. The Government may use Exhibit A Part 1 information in the evaluation of experience. A reiteration of the information provided in Exhibit A is neither required nor desired. Offeror should reference this information by providing a short summation of their relevant experience to meet the submission requirements of this subfactor.

3.2.3. In order for the Government to evaluate the offeror’s understanding of the contract requirements, offerors are required to discuss their technical and administrative capabilities in a manner that clearly demonstrates these are adequate to meet contract requirements. The information in Exhibit D will address your capability and experience to perform multi-discipline/multi-project projects, at the dollar levels and in the location requested; your organization; key personnel; subcontractors; quality control; your ability to schedule and safety.

3.2.4. The Exhibit D question narratives and required attachments should include necessary information regarding the offeror’s ability to perform complete project management of multi-disciplined construction projects. Project management includes the full spectrum of activities such as: estimating, proposal preparation, subcontract purchasing and management, work scoping and planning, construction superintendent duties, quality controls, limited architect and engineering design, and safety. Additional clarification of these requirements is to be inferred from information contained in the each question of the Technical proposal, as well as the evaluation factors for award identified in Section 00120.

3.2.5. OFFERORS ARE CAUTIONED TO READ SECTIONS 00120 AND 00800 and DIVISION 1 OF THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS BEFORE COMPLETING EXHIBIT D, AS YOUR ANSWERS MUST MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOUND IN THESE SECTIONS.

3.2.6. Offerors are cautioned to read FAR CLAUSE 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting. Resulting task orders will require a minimum of 15% of the work to be self-performed. Firms must be capable of self-performing at least the minimum. The contracts resulting from this solicitation are not intended for management firms or construction firms who self-perform only administrative or management functions.

3.3. VOLUME 2, PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION:

3.3.1. Volume 2 Part II is obtained for the purpose of evaluating Past/Present Performance. Past/Present Performance includes current/on-going performance that is complete to 70% or greater. Volume 2 includes the offeror’s Performance Relevance Questionnaire, Exhibit A, Parts 1 and 2; and any discussion and or additional information, awards, letters, etc. concerning past/present performance the offeror includes. Offerors are cautioned to complete all the questions on the Exhibit A Parts 1 and part 2. Detailed instructions are included in Exhibit A.

3.3.2. Offerors shall use the Reference Package, Exhibit C, to obtain references from past and present clients.

3.3.3. Offerors shall discuss their performance using the Performance Relevancy Questionnaire format, Exhibit A, Part 1. Prepare a minimum of three (3) but not more thanfive (5) of these documents. Contractors should select their projects carefully because the quality of the contractor’s relevant performance is more important than the quantity of projects submitted.

3.3.4. Use the Exhibit A format to provide information that demonstrates a history of performance on contracts that are similar in scope, complexity, and cost magnitude to this project’s plans and specifications. Explain what aspects of the contract you find relevant to the proposed effort and identify how each contract ranks, in terms of relevancy, with respect to the other contracts addressed in proposal.

3.3.5. Offerors should consider the currency and relevancy of the past/present performance information to be considered, the performance must have been completed during the past five (5) years. The period begins five (5) years prior to the solicitation release date and includes current performance. Performance that is more current may have greater impact than older performance.

3.3.6. In determining relevancy to the solicitation requirement, offerors should consider the similarity of construction methods employed, size, scope, cost magnitude, location, client type (e.g. federal government) and complexity of work performed to those required for the proposed effort. Location should also be considered.

3.3.7. Offerors are encouraged to include with their proposal information any problems encountered on the identified contracts and the offeror's correction actions.

3.3.8. Offerors lacking relevant present/past performance experience may submit information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement if such information is relevant to this acquisition. Such information shall, as a minimum, include:

Name(s) of Predecessor Company/Subcontractor and/or Key Personnel Complete Address Telephone, Fax Number and email address Brief synopsis of the experience- A resume may be submitted for "Key Personnel" Describe relevancy to this project

3.3.9. Provide three (3) references, for each Predecessor Company, Subcontractor or Key Personnel. Clearly identify the contractor/individual for whom the reference information concerns.

3.3.9.1. Each proposed subcontractor/Teaming Partner must also complete an Exhibit B, “Subcontractor/Team/Key Personnel Information and Consent Form”, to be considered.

3.3.10. Past Performance References – REQUIRED – A “Final” Performance Evaluation (Construction) (also referred to as a CPARS Evaluation) issued for a project may be included in lieu of sending out reference package for the project. OR Offerors shall prepare and submit to prior client(s) of all the projects listed on your Exhibit A submission a Reference Package (Exhibit C) (Detailed instructions are included in Exhibit C Package). This includes correspondence explaining the requirement to obtain an independent evaluation of prior contract performance, and the Past Performance Questionnaire for use in evaluating Present/Past Performance. Inform references that completed Performance Questionnaire should be returned to the Contracting Officer via email at: zachary.r.tevis.mil@mail.mil and lisa.m.braund.mil@mail.mil to arrive not later than the closing date for receipt of proposals. Offeror must not review the Present/Past Performance Questionnaire prior to submission. They are to be submitted by the client/evaluator directly to the Contracting Officer. Offeror's should follow-up and encourage references to get the questionnaires to the Contracting Officer in a timely manner.

3.3.11. In assessing past performance, the Government may also consider the past/present performance of the offeror’s key personnel, Project Manager, Quality Control Manager and Site Superintendent, as it relates to previous projects. In the event the intended key personnel for this solicitation’s project do not have demonstrated past performance in the project(s) submitted in the Exhibit A’s, the Government reserves to obtain reference information additional information is required.

3.3.12. Each key person without prior past performance history demonstrated on the submitted Exhibit A shall provide a summary of experience or a resume. In the event the intended person is not part of the offeror’s organization at the time the proposal is submitted then a completed Exhibit B, “Subcontractor/Team/Key Personnel Information and Consent Form” or Letter of Intent, is also required or the information will not be considered. The Government may seek additional references and reserves the right to use the information provided to obtain additional references.

3.3.13. Offerors are advised that the Government may use all data provided by the offeror in this volume and data obtained from any other sources, to include, but not limited to, data independently obtained from other Government or commercial sources; from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program/Project Managers, Contracting Officers or rely upon personal business experience with the offeror. The Government reserves the rights to obtain and evaluate past performance information from any source it deems appropriate. While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of providing current accurate and complete past/present performance information rests with the offeror.

4. DISCUSSIONS.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer, in his/her sole discretion, later determines them to be necessary or appropriate. Further, the Government reserves the right to create or not to create a competitive range. 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.

SECTION 00120 PROPOSAL EVALUATIONS AND BASIS FOR AWARD

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. This solicitation is for a Multiple Award Task Order (MATOC) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) . The Government intends to award contracts to a minimum of three qualified offerors deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) whose proposal conforms to all of the RFP's requirements and are judged to represent the Best Value to the Government. The Best Value is the most advantageous offer, price and other factors considered, and consistent with the Government’s stated importance of evaluation criteria. The award will be made based on the best overall (i.e. best value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the three (3) evaluation factors: Technical, Present/Past Performance, and Price. To arrive at a Best Value decision, the Source Selection Authority will integrate the evaluation of Past/Present Performance, Technical and Price as set out in the solicitation. In terms of the relative importance of the factors, the Technical factor is somewhat more important than Present/Past Performance and when combined, however, the non-cost factors are approximately equal to the Price Factor. The firms that represent best value to the Government will be selected for award in accordance with FAR 15.1 Source Selection Processes and Techniques.

1.2. To arrive at a Best Value decision this acquisition will utilize the FAR Part 15.101-1 tradeoff process unless the lowest priced offeror (with a price deemed reasonable and realistic) is also deemed to be the highest rated in terms of non-price evaluation criteria. If the lowest priced offeror is also the highest rated in terms of non-Price Factors, no tradeoff is necessary. Further, there is no tradeoff necessary between any offer that is lower priced and higher rated in terms of non-Price Factors with respect to any other offers that are higher priced and lower rated for the non-Price Factors. While the Government and the Source Selection Authority will strive for maximum objectivity, the evaluation process, by its nature, is subjective and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire evaluation process.

1.3. The source selection process will be conducted in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.3, Source Selection procedures and the DoD Source…
