excess information will not be evaluated. The term “tabs” means searchable PDF bookmarks.

4.2 Tab 2 of the Technical Proposal: Factor 1 Past Performance

4.2.1 Submission Requirements

The Offeror shall provide past performance information on dredging projects within the last three (3) years.

Experience and Capability, using the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) for any past federal projects submitted, and other sources for non-federal projects.

If CPARS evaluations are not available, the Offeror shall submit a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) for each project. Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. Completed PPQs should be submitted as part of the offeror’s proposal. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ before the proposal closing date, the Offeror shall complete and submit the first page of the PPQ, which provides contract and reference contact information for the project(s). The Offeror shall ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for each point of contact. Completed PPQs may also be submitted by the preparer directly to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer by email to nairi.freeman@usace.army.mil and copy to mary.fronck@usace.army.mil prior to the RFP closing date.

The Government may review and consider information obtained from other sources, e.g., CPARS information using CAGE/Unique Entity ID/SAM numbers of the teaming arrangement, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), etc.

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.

Each example project must start on a new page and there is no page limitation for CPARS and PPQ’s submission.

Pass Performance will not count against the page limitation for this volume.

4.2.3 Evaluation Criteria:

The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the offeror’s ability to successfully perform this requirement based on the offeror’s record of relevant past projects, and the documented level of satisfaction of each project owner after completion of construction. Past Performance will be determined relevant if a submitted project is similar in size, scope, and complexity to this requirement.

How well the offeror performed the prior contracts submitted under Factor 2 will be evaluated by reviewing CPARS evaluations, completed PPQ forms and other information available to the Government.

*NOTE: If an offeror does not have a record of relevant past performance or information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or neutral) past performance (IAW FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). A neutral rating shall be considered acceptable.

Each Offeror shall be assigned one of the two ratings set forth in the table below.

Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown *(See note above).

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

4.3. Tab 1 of the Technical Volume: Factor 2 – Availability of Equipment

4.3.1 Availability of Equipment – Evaluation Factor

The Offeror shall provide a projected timeline and supporting narrative detailing the availability of equipment. The narrative shall be task-oriented, clearly indicating the number of calendar days following pre-construction submittals and mobilization— assumed to occur approximately 30 calendar days after Notice to Proceed (NTP)—by which dredging activities are to commence and be completed.

The narrative shall also include a summary of any failures and/or successes related to equipment availability on the last five dredging projects.

Constraints:

The Offeror must demonstrate the capability and flexibility of equipment availability to meet the proposed contract completion period. The narrative shall clearly identify any known or anticipated constraints, such as:

• Equipment or labor availability

• Weather impacts

• Other logistical or operational limitations

4.3.2 Submission Requirements

Evaluation Criteria: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s Availability of Equipment narrative to assess the likelihood that equipment will be provided in a timely and effective manner to ensure successful completion of the project within the specified period of performance.

Narratives that clearly demonstrate the Offeror’s ability to complete dredging within 75 calendar days from Notice to Proceed (NTP), along with a general understanding of potential factors that could impact availability (e.g., labor, weather, logistics), will be considered acceptable.

Proposals that indicate equipment availability or project completion beyond 75 calendar days after NTP will be rated Unacceptable under this factor.

A proposal will be rated as Unacceptable if it does not meet the definition of Acceptable.

Tab 6: Contractor Responsibility, Pre-Award Survey Information

To determine a contractor's responsibility for purposes of contract award in accordance with FAR Part 9, the contractor is required to provide a statement regarding previous experience and past performance in performing comparable work, information related to the business organization, financial resources, and/or plant to be used in performing the work (see Attachment 2, Pre-award Survey).

The Government will request this information from the eligible contractor after receipt of offer if they have not had a contract with the San Francisco District within the last twelve months and the Government will set a due date for its submission.

(a) If required to determine that a prospective contractor is responsible, the offeror must:

1) Demonstrate that they have adequate financial resources to perform the contract or the ability to obtain them.

2) Be able to comply with the required or proposed delivery or perform schedule, taking into consideration all existing commercial and governmental business commitments.

3) Have a satisfactory performance record. In making the determination of responsibility, the Government Contracting Officer shall consider relevant past performance information. A prospective contractor shall not be determined as responsible or not responsible solely based on a lack of relevant performance history except when there are special standards set forth in the solicitation, which applies, to all offerors that must be met in order to receive the award. These special standards may be necessary when unusual expertise or specialized facilities are necessary in the performance of the contract; therefore, in order to be determined as responsible for a particular contract, the offeror must be able to meet those special standards. A prospective contractor that is or recently has been seriously deficient in contract performance shall be presumed to be nonresponsive unless the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances were beyond the contractor's control or that the contractor has taken appropriate corrective action. Other responsibility considerations by the Contracting Officer will include past efforts by the contractor to apply sufficient tenacity and perseverance to perform acceptably, to meet quality requirements of contracts, and the contractor's past compliance with subcontracting plans (if required) under recent contracts.

4) Have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics.

5) Have the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them (including, as appropriate, such elements as production control procedures, property control systems, quality assurance measures, and safety programs applicable to materials to be produced or services to be performed by the prospective contractor and subcontractors).

6) Have the necessary production, construction, and technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them.

7) Be otherwise qualified and eligible to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations.
