1 OVERVIEW

1.1 ELIGIBILITY FOR CONTRACT AWARD

In accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), no contract shall be entered into unless the contracting officer ensures that all requirements of law, executive orders, regulations, and all other applicable procedures, including clearances and approvals, have been met. This includes the FAR requirement that no award shall be made unless the Contracting Officer makes an affirmative determination of responsibility. To be determined responsible, a prospective contractor must meet the general standards in the FAR Part 9 and any special standards set forth in the solicitation.

1.2 SOURCE SELECTION USING LOWEST PRICE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE

(LPTA)

The Government will make award to the Offeror submitting the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. The Government will first review non-cost technical proposals to determine which are acceptable to the Government.

Responses that the Offeror understands, or will comply with the specifications, statements paraphrasing the specifications, and general or overly broad responses such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used”, will be rated unacceptable.

The objective of the Government is to award a contract to an Offeror who submits a proposal that when evaluated is determined to meet the acceptability levels established in the solicitation for each non-cost evaluation factor. Each non-cost evaluation factor will receive a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable. The award will be made to the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated proposed price.

1.2.1 PROPOSAL COMPLIANCE REVIEW

This is an initial review to ensure that all required forms and certifications are completed and that both a technical and price proposal were received.

1.2.2 TECHNICAL/QUALITY EVALUATION

The Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will evaluate and rate proposals. Proposals will be evaluated against the (Request for Proposal) RFP requirements. As identified in Tables 1, 2, and 3.

1.2.3 PRICE EVALUATION

The SSEB will evaluate price proposals independent of the technical/quality evaluation. The SSEB will not have access to price information until completion of the technical/quality evaluation. The proposed price will be analyzed for reasonableness. It may also be analyzed to determine whether it is realistic for the work to be performed; reflects a clear understanding of the requirements; and is consistent with the offeror’s technical proposals. All offers with separately price line items and/or sub line items will be analyzed for unbalanced pricing.

2 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 GENERAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

In order to effectively and equitably evaluate all proposals, the Contracting Officer must receive information containing sufficient detail to allow review and evaluation by the Government.

Proposal clarity, organization, and cross‐referencing are mandatory. Failures to submit and organize proposals as requested may adversely affect an Offeror's evaluation. Offerors should provide sufficient detail and clearly define all items required in this section. The Contracting Officer may remove any Offeror from further consideration during the procurement if the Offeror fails to meet the submittal requirements of the RFP or to reduce the competitive range for purposes of efficiency pursuant to FAR 15.306(c)(2).

2.2 TABS FOR PROPOSAL SUMITTAL:

Proposal shall be organized and tabbed as shown in Paragraph 3, “Proposal Submittal Summary”.

2.3 PAGE FORMATTING FOR PROPOSAL SUBMISSION:

The page size of the offeror’s proposal shall not exceed 8.5” by 11”. Diagrams, charts and tables shall conform to the paper size. All text shall be typed sine-spaced with a minimum size 10 font. Gantt chart, schedule and other charts and graphics can be size 8 font. Margins (1-inch) shall be clean and clear.

Please note: The Table of Contents and Factor Tabs will not be counted towards the 50-page count limit.

2.4.3 PROPOSAL SUBMITTAL

The offeror’s adherence to prescribed page and formatting limitations prescribed will be strictly adhered to and enforced. Information submitted which exceeds the specified limit will not be evaluated. For example, the government will not evaluate excess information. If four pages are submitted in response to an item with a three (3) page limitation, the information of the fourth page will not be evaluated.

The technical proposals will be reviewed for compliance with the technical specifications. Non-compliance with the technical specifications will be considered a deficiency and an unacceptable adjectival rating will be assigned.

2.5 ELECTRONIC FORMAT:

TAB C Factor 3 TECHNICAL APPROACH

TAB D Factor 4 MANAGEMENT EFFECTIVENESS

TAB E Factor 5 SCHEDULE

3.5 FACTOR 1 AND FACTOR 2, GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMITTING

PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

This general submission criterion relates to Tab A, Factor 1, Past Performance of the Prime Construction Contractor and Tab B, Factor 2, Past Performance of the Lead Design Firm (or prime construction contractor if the design is to be self-performed). There are three aspects to past performance that must be addressed. In both Factor 1 and Factor 2, the Offeror shall demonstrate recent and 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.

Where the word “project(s)” appears in this solicitation, it is understood to mean a project, contract(s), task order(s), or any other contract document provided for by the Federal Acquisition regulations (FAR 2.10). For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the contract as a whole shall not be submitted as a project; rather offerors shall submit the work performed under a task order as a project. Examples of a project submitted by the offeror may include projects performed for a City, State or a Federal Agency or for a commercial or private sector customer. If projects submitted were design-build projects, please identify them as such.

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 from the RFP release date. A recent construction type project is defined in relation to the RFP advertisement date. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to clearly indicate the percentage of completion on construction project examples that are in progress at the time of this submission.

“Relevant” past performance is one indicator of an Offeror’s ability to perform the contract successfully. Where the word “relevant” appears, it is understood to mean that the project is comparable to the type of work covered by this requirement, in terms of size, scope and complexity. A brief description of work is located in RFP Section 01 10 10 paragraph entitled, “PROJECT DESCRIPTION.” Regarding “relevant” prime construction contractor work, the Government will consider the type of work features self-performed, on-site by the Prime Constructor’s own organization in addition to construction management effort.

Quality of Product or Services. The past performance evaluation will establish the overall quality of the offeror’s past performance.

3.6 TAB A – FACTOR 1 ‐ PAST PERFORMANCE OF PRIME CONTRACTOR:

This Factor is an assessment of the probability that the Prime Contractor will meet the requirements of this Solicitation. To this end, the Prime Contractor shall demonstrate recent, relevant experience and acceptable quality of past performance on similar projects. Offerors may identify state and local government and private contracts similar to the Government’s requirements. If the Offeror is a joint venture, each firm shall provide information, demonstrating experience relevant to their role on this project and in accordance with the Joint Venture Submission Requirements.

3.6.1 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

The Offeror will submit at least two (2) but no more than three (3) projects. Projects must be fully completed or currently under construction and at least 75% complete within the last 6 years.

The submitted projects shall meet the following criteria:

a. Each of the submitted projects must have a construction value over $5,000,000.

b. At least two of the projects must have occurred on a military installation.

c. At least one project shall be a design build, new, vertical construction.
