1.5. Two-Phase Design-Build Solicitation Process

1.5.1. This procurement is being solicited using the Two-Phase solicitation process authorized by FAR 36.3.

The Government will review the technical and cost/price proposals of the Phase Two offerors in accordance with FAR Part 15 and the evaluation criteria set out in Section 00120 – PROPOSAL EVALUATION AND BASIS FOR AWARD. The final evaluation will consider the past/present performance from Phase One, and the technical and cost/price proposals from Phase Two.

3. Written Proposal Format. (Unless noted otherwise these general instructions apply to both Phase One and Phase Two proposals.)

3.1. Purpose. These instructions prescribe the format of proposals, and describe the approach for the development and presentation of the proposed data. The proposal shall include all of the information requested in the specific instructions. 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 will be considered unacceptable. 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 evaluation.

3.2 Offerors are cautioned to submit enough information to enable the Government to fully ascertain each offeror’s capability to perform all of the requirements contemplated by this solicitation. All commitments made in the proposal may become a part of the resultant contract. The data submitted with each proposal should be complete and concise, but not overly elaborate. Excessive reliance on promotional brochures is discouraged.

3.3 Written proposals shall be prepared on standard 8.5 x 11 inch paper (charts may be landscaped but must be on 8.5 x 11 inch paper) and shall be in a legible font size (10 min.). Type size for graphics, charts, diagrams and tables, shall be of an appropriate font and size for the application, and must be clearly readable without magnification assistance to the normal eye. Page size for schedules may be up to 11” x 17” and all other charts, tables etc. must not exceed normal legal size (8.5”x14”). All pages of each proposal shall be appropriately numbered, and identified with the RFP number. For ease of reference, consecutive page numbering with tabs is required. To the maximum extent practicable, proposal submission shall be double sided. Where page limits exist, a page is defined as one single side of a page. Double sided pages count as two pages. Unless otherwise stated, tabs, indexes and dividers do not count in the page count.

3.4 Indexing: Each binder will contain a “Table of Contents” for that volume. The “Table of Contents” will identify major areas, paragraphs and subparagraphs by number and title, as well as by page number and volume locations. Tab indexing will be used to identify Sections as appropriate.

3.5 Page limits include all appendices, charts, graphs, diagrams, tables, photographs, etc. except as noted elsewhere in the instructions. Failure to observe these requirements may result in non-compliant proposals being evaluated at the maximum number of pages had the instructions been followed. All pages in excess of the stated limits will not be evaluated.

3.6 Binding. Elaborate format and binding are neither necessary nor desirable. Binders (3-ring “D” or slant ring preferred) shall be capable of lying flat when opened. The cover and spine of each binder will clearly identify the offeror’s name, Volume number(s), Project number, RFP number, RFP title and copy number, (e.g. copy 2 of 3).

The original for each volume will be clearly identified on the cover and the spine. All binders will allow for easy removal and replacement of pages.

3.7 If revised proposals are requested, narrative revisions shall be identified with pipelines in the margin of the revised pages. Revised pages shall be printed on one side and hole-punched along the left margin. The number of revised copies to be submitted is the same as the initial proposal.

3.8 Electronic Copy. Provide one (1) electronic copy of the entire proposal (Volumes 1, 2 and 3). Electronic copies may be submitted on CD/DVD, readable in Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat (11.0) (“Read Only” files are acceptable). All disks shall be virus checked prior to submission.

3.9 Phase Two Drawing sheets - use drawings no larger than ANSI “D” size (22” x 34”) or smaller than size ANSI “B” (11” x 17”). No electronic drawing files are required to be submitted at the proposal stage. Drawings are NOT required in Phase One.
