EXHIBIT D – TECHNICAL PROPOSAL DATA REQUIREMENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

The Technical proposal for this solicitation consists of information provided in response to the questions provided in this exhibit. Offerors must answer all questions in each sub-factor. Offerors are strongly cautioned to read sections 00800 and Division One of the solicitation documents as well as the evaluation information found in Section 00120 before completing Exhibit D as your answers must meet the minimum requirements found in these sections. Failure to address a sub-factor will make the sub-factor deficient and may result in an overall unacceptable rating.

The technical proposal is limited to 20 single pages/10 double pages exclusive of tabs, indexes, dividers, and attachments listed in this exhibit. Any additional attachments you provide, to include Safety or Quality Control Plans, will be included in the page count provided. It is highly advisable to state the question then give the answer. This will aid in the evaluation. Offerors who preceded their answer to the each question with a reiteration of the question as it appears in this exhibit may add one (1) additional page to their total page count (21 pages). Pages in excess of the limits WILL NOT be considered in the evaluation.

Each answer should be covered in sufficient detail to clearly address all required information. Answer questions in order presented. In the event you reference another document or part of the proposal you must be clear as to where the information can be found to answer the particular question(s). Such statements as see Company profile or see Safety Plan are not acceptable. You must indicate on what page of the proposal the answer can be found in the referenced document. Failure to do so may make your proposal non-compliant or the particular sub-factor considered deficient.

Offerors will be evaluated for all dollar levels in the range requested in “Areas of Consideration.” Considerable consideration will be given to the highest dollar level you are requesting. Failure to demonstrate experience will adversely affect your technical evaluation. If you have no experience at the higher dollar levels consider requesting a lower range with the option to advance to higher range amounts in the option years.

Request only locations that you will regularly and actively pursue task order offerings in the dollar range you have requested. Lack of experience or an acceptable plan to overcome the lack of experience in a location selected that is also indicated in the solicitation as a key or critical location may adversely affect the evaluation.

Failure to include all information requested may adversely affect the evaluation. A proposal that merely reiterates or promises to accomplish the requirements of the RFP may be considered unacceptable.

A Proposal that is not presented in an orderly format may be considered noncompliant with solicitation instructions not evaluated and removed from consideration for award. A proposal that is orderly and sufficiently documented will be easy for the Government to understand and will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation.

TECHNICAL PROPOSAL QUESTIONS

1A: In the format provided in Attachment 1 show experience on multiple disciplined projects. Additionally, discuss your experience and technical capability to perform and manage multi-disciplined projects for the dollar levels and locations you are requesting in “Areas of Consideration”. The discussion should address familiarity with construction in the locations selected, and familiarity with issues pertaining to work in this area and involvement of the local workforce. Discuss your ability to manage multiple projects at one time. Note: An Offeror, who has the capability to perform both as a General contractor and self-perform a major element of construction, for example, Electrical, or Mechanical or Roofing, may be afforded additional consideration in the evaluation

1B: This contract requires short notice site visits/proposal meetings, normally within 2 calendar days, but can be as short as 240 minutes. Consider reporting to the 133rd Airlift Wing, St. Paul, MN or 148th Fighter Wing, Duluth, MN if you chose that location. Give details on how will you ensure compliance with these requirements?
