Lucia A. Carvajal 213.452.3240

FY 12 WATER TREATMENT AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, FORT IRWIN, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CA. Project consists of design and construction services for a new Electro-Dialysis Reversal (EDR) Water Treatment Facility and water supply and distribution system infrastructure upgrades at Fort Irwin, California.

Offerors must submit both a technical proposal and a price proposal. The basis for award is Best Value "Trade-off" IAW FAR 15.101-1. The Government reserves the right to consider award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror. The relative weighting of price and technical is as follows: all evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them necessary. FAR 52.215-1(f)(4).

The estimated cost range of this procurement is $100,000,000 - $250,000,000.

The Notice of Price Evaluation Preference for HUBZone SBC will apply to this procurement. See Section 00 07 00, Contract Clause No. FAR 52.219-4.

PERFORMANCE/TECHNICAL-PRICE TRADE-OFF BEST VALUE

(Proposal Submission Requirements and Instructions)

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 This is a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15, unrestricted, competitive, best value, single phase, design-build, source selection. In this competition, a competing Prime Construction Contractor, hereafter referred to as the “Offeror”, will be evaluated for its design-build teams’ capabilities to design and construct the requirements of this Request for Proposal (RFP). The submission criteria for this RFP are found in this section. The evaluation criteria and basis of award are found in RFP Section 00120. The RFP criteria rely upon industry standards, where allowable, to afford the Offeror a degree of design flexibility while meeting certain specific project requirements. The successful Offeror must design and construct a complete and useable facility, as described in the RFP package.

Offerors must perform sufficient preliminary design work prior to submitting proposals in order to verify quantities and costs. By submission of a proposal, the Offeror accedes to all the terms of this RFP.

2.0 WHO MAY SUBMIT

2.1 Any responsible, legally organized Offeror may submit a proposal. Firms formally organized as design-build entities, design firms and construction contractors that have associated specifically for this project, consortia of firms or any other responsible, interested parties may submit proposals.

2.2 Any firm that contributed to and/or participated in preparation of this solicitation, whether as a Government contractor or as a subcontractor to a Government contractor, is not eligible to participate in this solicitation as a prime contractor or a design subcontractor due to a conflict of interest.

The Government considers such firms to have an unfair competitive advantage, and therefore will not consider such firms if proposed.

2.3 Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI) Disclosure: The contractor shall provide a disclosure statement with its proposal which concisely describes all the relevant facts concerning past or present organizational conflicts of interest relating to work on this project. In the same statement, and if applicable, the contractor shall provide information to assure the government that the conflicts of interest have been mitigated and/or neutralized to the maximum extent possible. If a conflict of interest is discovered after award of this contract, the Contracting Officer will make a decision whether to terminate the contract.

3.0 GENERAL PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Submit proposal packages to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at the address shown in Block 8 of Standard Form 1442 (SF 1442) in this solicitation. The Government must receive your proposal no later than the time and date specified in Block 13 of SF 1442. Any and all amendments to the solicitation shall be acknowledged by completion of Block 19 of the SF 1442.

SECTION 00 01 10-Page 2

3.2 Submit your proposals in two separate volumes. Volume I should be titled “Volume I-PAST PERFORMANCE CAPABILITY AND KEY PERSONNEL EXPERIENCE”. Volume II should be titled “Volume II- ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS”.

Submit an original and seven (7) copies of Volume I information in separate, three-ring binders labeled: “Volume I – Past Performance Capability, and Key Personnel Experience and Technical Information”.

Submit an original and one (1) copy of Volume II, which includes the price, in a sealed envelope labeled “Volume II Administrative Requirements”. In the same envelope, the Offeror is to submit the entire proposal (Volumes I and II) in Portable Document File (PDF) format on compact disk (CD). Provide two copies of the CD of the entire proposal. Volume II CD’s (which includes price) may be submitted within three (3) business days after the proposal receipt date.

Provide written portions of the proposal in 8-1/2" x 11" format. Also see, Paragraph 6.0 PRICE BREAKDOWN REQUIREMENTS regarding possible requirements for cost or price breakdowns to be furnished upon request.

3.3 To effectively and equitably evaluate proposals, the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) must receive information in the order described below and sufficiently detailed, clearly describing an Offeror's past performance capabilities to successfully execute the work required by this solicitation.

It is therefore the responsibility of the Offeror to submit complete proposal information and documents that are fully responsive to the submission requirements of this section. Offerors are responsible for organizing submitted material sequentially under tabs and numbered pages to facilitate evaluation. Materials not organized under the appropriate tabs and in the sequence of subparagraphs set out below, may be easily overlooked during evaluations, possibly affecting an Offeror’s rating. Information incorporated by reference will not be evaluated. Offers should be concise, addressing only the information outlined in this Section. The Government intends to make an award based on initial evaluations without discussions.

THE LEAD DESIGN FIRM. This general submission criterion relates to Tab B- Factor 1, the prime construction contractor and Tab D-Factor 3, the proposed Lead Design firm (or prime construction contractor if the design is to be self-performed). There are two aspects to the past performance information that shall be submitted. In both factors, the Offeror shall demonstrate recent, relevant past performance on projects similar to the scope and magnitude of effort and complexity required by this solicitation and demonstrate the quality record of that past effort. The Offeror may use the attachments at the end of this section for submitting the required information for each factor.

4.2.2 Where the word “project(s)” appears in this RFP Section 00 01 10, it is understood to mean a project, contract(s), task order(s), or any other contract document provided for by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR 2.101). Examples of projects submitted by the prime construction contractor and the proposed lead design firm may be projects performed for a City, State or a Federal Government Agency; or for a commercial or private sector customer. If projects were design/build projects, so identify them as such.

4.2.3 Where the word “recent” appears it is understood to mean design type projects that have been 100% completed (final construction documents completed) within six (6) years of the RFP issue date. A “recent” construction type project is defined as a construction project for which design is 100% complete and the construction is at least 50% complete (measured by performance period days) as of the RFP issue date or a construction type project that has been completed and turned over to the owner within six (6) years of the RFP issue date. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to clearly indicate the percentage of completion on construction project examples that are underway at the time of this submission.

4.2.4 “Relevant” past performance information is one indicator of an Offeror’s ability to perform the contract successfully.
