The Government will not be liable for any costs incurred by the Offeror submitting an offer in response to this Solicitation.

The criteria specified in this RFP are binding contract criteria and in cases of any conflict, subsequent to award, between RFP criteria and contractor's submittals, the RFP criteria shall govern unless there is a written agreement between the Contracting Officer and the contractor on the waiving of a specific requirement.

Clarification of the Provisions of this Request for Proposal. Any explanation desired by an Offeror regarding the meaning or interpretation of the RFP shall be requested in writing to the Contracting Branch, Attention: Contract Specialist is Ericka Hillard at 312-846-5378/Email to: ericka.d.hillard@usace.army.mil. (PLEASE INCLUDE

THE SOLICITATION NUMBER AND/OR PROJECT TITLE IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF YOUR EMAIL.

2.1 PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS.

2.1.1 FACTOR 1: PAST PERFORMANCE (TAB 1):

The Offeror shall submit with their proposal up to a maximum of ten (10) Past Performance Questionnaire’s (PPQ) in its proposal for Factor 1, whose form is provided in this Solicitation as Attachment A.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD) PROJECTS:

Offerors should submit a copy of the Government’s Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) Evaluations or, for older projects, a copy of the Government’s Construction Contract Performance Evaluations (CCASS). If unable to provide the printed CPARS or CCASS evaluations, provide written notification that current ratings are available so that the Government may obtain the printed evaluation.

Offerors should not request PPQs on projects that have final CPARS or CCASS evaluations. If a PPQ is received on a project where a final CPARS evaluation exists, the CPARS evaluation will serve as the official rating of record for evaluation purposes.

PROJECTS THAT DO NOT HAVE A CPARS EVALUATION:

Offerors shall forward a copy of the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) to the points of contact (POC) responsible for monitoring performance under those contracts.

Completed PPQs should be included with the proposal if at all possible. However, if necessary, they can be submitted directly to Contract Specialist by emailing completed documents to both of the following email address: ericka.d.hillard@usace.army.mil

The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) 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

– Past Performance. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact.

Completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted with your proposal. 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 (Attachment A), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s).

Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact prior to proposal closing date.

(Ericka Hillard at 312-846-5378)

Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

Also offerors may include performance recognition documents received within the last 5 years of the issuance date of this solicitation, such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources will include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/Unique Entity Identifier (formerly known as DUNS numbers) of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information Sysems (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSARS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

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.

The intent of Section 2 of the PPQ is for the Offeror to identify self-performed work that is relevant to this Solicitation. The self-performed work shall be expressed as a percentage of the total contract when compared to the “Final Contract Price.”

The intent of Section 4 of the PPQ is for the Offeror to describe in detail how the self-performed work is relevant to this Solicitation. Such detail should help establish the magnitude and complexity of the past performance and may include, but not be limited to, such items as quantities installed and/or constructed, equipment used, site constraints, and environmental conditions.

If the Offeror is a joint venture (JV), each firm shall only provide information on the PPQ that is relevant to their role on this solicitation. Also, if the JV previously performed work together on a project, the PPQ shall provide information demonstrating relevant experience in the role as a JV and shall indicate the percentage of work the JV completed.

If the Offeror intends to subcontract a particular feature of work, the Offeror is encouraged to submit a PPQ(s) for said subcontractor and specifically identify their role in this Solicitation.

Preferably, only complete PPQs will be included in the proposal and Offerors should follow-up with clients/references prior to the proposal closing date to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before the proposal closing date, the Offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the entire PPQ (with the unfilled evaluation section), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). The Government may choose to, but is not obligated to, contact the client during review of the proposal, so the Offeror should ensure that phone numbers and email addresses are current.

New entities without past performance history shall include a letter with the proposal, stating that they have had no previous clients and that the minimum number of questionnaires cannot be provided. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure that sufficient reference documentation is provided to substantiate the statement, as the Government may or may not make additional requests for past performance information from persons familiar with the Offeror’s performance history.

The Government may contact references provided as part of the Factor for Experience for information regarding past performance on the project and for assessing and verifying the scope of the work performed. Offerors should provide accurate, current, and complete contact information for references provided in the project descriptions.

2.1.2 2.1.2 FACTOR 2 – TECHNICAL APPROACH AND MANAGEMENT FACTOR (TAB 2)

The technical proposal must demonstrate an ability to comply with all requirements in the solicitation. General statements that the Offeror can or will comply with the requirements, that standard procedures will be used, that well known techniques will be used, or paraphrases of the RFP’s Statement of Work/Specification in whole or in part, will not constitute compliance. Failure to conform to any of the requirements of the RFP may form the basis for rejection of the proposal.

Offerors shall submit a proposal describing the materials, equipment, methods, concepts, labor, and plans to be used to ensure successful completion of the specified work in accordance with the requirements in the RFP. Specifically, the Offeror shall include, with the proposal, a Preliminary Concept Technical Package. The Preliminary Concept Technical Package shall be in compliance with the requirements and specifications in the contract. The Offeror’s proposal shall not include or assume the Government shall furnish equipment not already installed at the project site.

The government reserves the right to incorporate the winning offeror’s proposal for the Pulse Generating System into the contract requirements. Upon award, the Preliminary Concept Technical Package shall not waive or supersede any of the technical requirements or specifications in the RFP.

The resumes shall include the personnel education, licenses, certifications and any relevant training. The resumes shall describe the experience that qualifies the relevant personnel for the Solicitation work and specifically identify particular experience of the individuals on the projects listed in Factor 1.

The Government will evaluate the qualifications of the following key personnel: Project Manager and Systems and Control Engineer(s). The minimum qualifications for each personnel is listed below.

Project Manager:

The Project Manager shall have at least 3 years of experience managing the development, installation and testing of electrical pulsing system projects, or similar projects.

System and Control Engineer(s):

The System and Control Engineer shall have at least 3 years of experience developing electrical pulsing system projects. The Offeror may have one individual or multiple individuals fulfill this role, but each individual must meet these criteria.

2.1.4 FACTOR 4: SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION PLAN (SBPP) (TAB 4): All offerors (both large and small businesses) will be evaluated on the level of proposed participation of small businesses in the performance of the proposed acquisition. SBPP will be rated independently using an adjectival-based system as described herein this Solicitation. Offerors shall prepare a Small Business Participation Plan using the below content and format.

The SBPP shall be in accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Supplement (DFARS) 215.304. The SBPP will be incorporated into any resultant prime contract as the basis for a formal Small Business Subcontracting Plan the successful Offeror (if a large business) will be required to submit prior to contract award.

The Small Business Participation Plan shall be based on the Offeror’s best effort; however, it must meet the minimum total Small Business Participation goal of 34.5% of the total contract value. Offerors unable to meet the minimum overall small business goal of 34.5% shall provide an explanation of why this target cannot be met with their proposal.

Address each of the following areas individually:

The extent in which the small business programs listed in FAR 19 (small business, small disadvantaged business, woman-owned small business, HubZone, service disabled veteran owned small business, etc.) are specifically identified in the Small Business Participation Plan;

The extent of participation of such firms in terms of the value of the total acquisition in percentages; the extent of commitment to use such firms (for example, enforceable commitments, i.e. teaming agreements signed, are to be considered more heavily than non-enforceable ones);

The complexity and variety of the work small firms are to perform on this acquisition; and, The realism of the Small Business Participation Plan, i.e. aggressive goals.

The intent of the Offeror’s Small Business Participation Plan is for the Offeror to articulate how small businesses will participate in this award performance through small business subcontracting. The SBPP shall be organized as follows:

(1) Prime Contractor type of business (check all that apply):

( ) Large ( ) Small (also check type of small business) ( ) Small Non-Disadvantaged Business ( ) Small Disadvantaged Business ( ) Woman-Owned Small Business ( ) HUBZone Small Business

( ) Veteran Owned Small Business ( ) Service Disabled, Veteran Owned Small Business

(2) Percentage of your participation as a prime contractor :

(3) Total contract value and percentage of total contract value of subcontracts planned for:

Total Contract Value by Percentage*

Total Contract Value

Large % $

Total Small % $

Small Non-Disadvantaged % $

Small Disadvantaged % $

Small Woman Owned % $

Small HUB Zone % $

Small Veteran Owned % $

Small Service Disabled Veteran Owned

*Each percentage above shall be accompanied by detailed supporting documentation regarding individual commitments. Please ensure the percentage of contract value corresponds to the total contract value.

NOTE: The sum of the percentages of Small Non-Disadvantaged and Small Disadvantaged should equal the entries for the Total Small; however, the sum of all of the percentages need not equal 100% since the prime is not included and individual subcontractors may be counted towards more than one category.

(4) List principal supplies/services (be specific) to be subcontracted to:

Company Name Type of Service/Supply

Large

Small Non-Disadvantaged

Small Disadvantaged

Small Woman Owned

Small HUB Zone

Small Veteran Owned

Small Service Disabled Veteran Owned

(5) Prior Performance Information: Provide any information substantiating the Offeror’s track record of utilizing small business on past contracts.

(6) For Large and Small Businesses provide descriptive information for all small business categories. Any information concerning long-term relationships with Small Business subcontractors, such as mentor-protégé relationships, should be provided.

(7) Extent of Commitment: Provide documentation regarding enforceable commitments to utilize any small business category as defined in FAR Part 19 as subcontractors.

NOTE: A Small Business Subcontracting Plan will be required if the proposal deemed the best value is submitted by a Large Business. The Small Business Subcontracting Plan must contain all of the elements required by FAR Clause 52.219-9, “SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN (DEVIATION 2018-O0013) (APR 2018).” This Plan is submitted separately from the aforementioned Small Business Participation Plan; thus, it shall not be submitted with any offeror’s proposal package. The Subcontracting Plan is not a requirement for evaluation in this source selection but, rather a requirement for award to a Large Business. Once approved, the Small Business Subcontracting Plan will be incorporated into any resultant contract.
