PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIO

GENERAL PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS & REQUIREMENTS

PN 69251, SOF Replace Training Maze & Tower

Fort Bragg, North Carolina

1. OVERVIEW.

**************Amendment 03**************

1.1 This Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits construction of a three four-story training live-fire ballistic tower and a single-story live-fire ballistic training maze capable of up to 7.62mm high volume. The scope of work includes: Construct a 4-story rigid steel frame, AR-500 steel plate, ballistic block and ballistic Panel live-fire facility capable of up to 7.62mm rounds at high volume and a 4-story rigid steel frame with AR-500 steel plate, ballistic block and ballistic panel live-fire stair tower capable of up to 7.62mm rounds at high volume. Included are utilities, mechanical and architectural features, force protection, fire detection and dry-pipe suppression systems, communications, special training equipment areas, training space parking, and erosion control measures. Environmental ventilation for the project will be determined by an analysis conducted by the architect/engineer during the design phase. For planning purposes, the ventilation system is assumed to provide adequate protection for personnel using the facility. No air-conditioning is required with this project.

The period of performance is 365 calendar days. Work location is Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Antiterrorism/Force protection measures and sustainment mandates will be incorporated. The resultant contract will be Firm-Fixed Price (FFP).

**************Amendment 03**************

1.2 The instructions and requirements contained herein establish uniform evaluation procedures for the technical evaluation of proposals by the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) and the development of the Best Value Decision by the Source Selection Authority (SSA) using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Source Selection Process (See Federal Acquisition Regulation 15.101-2). Proposals should be specific and complete in every detail as well as be prepared simply and economically, providing a straightforward and concise description of capabilities to satisfactorily perform the contract.

2. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.

In accordance with FAR Clause 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisitions, the Government reserves the right to make award without discussions. Therefore, offerors should submit their best technical and price terms in their initial offer and not automatically assume that they will have an opportunity to participate in discussions or to submit a revised offer. The Government may make award of a conforming proposal without discussions, if deemed to be within the best interests of the Government.

In accordance with 15.306(c) (1) and FAR Clause 52.215-1(f) (4), Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisitions, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

2.1 Contractor Team Arrangements. The Government will recognize the integrity and validity of contractor teaming arrangements, provided the arrangements are identified and company relationships are fully disclosed in the offer. As further described in paragraph 2.3, below, the Government will only evaluate the information submitted by the legal entity with whom the Government would enter into a contract. This is the legal entity represented in Tab E, as registered in System for Award Management (SAM) and identified by its specifically assigned CAGE Code.

2.2 If applicable, a 8(a) Joint Venture or SBA/DoD approved Mentor-Protégé must submit all required documentation with their offer to be considered responsive.

2.3 The Government will only evaluate the information submitted by the legal entity with whom the Government would enter into a contract. This is the legal entity represented in Tab E, as registered in System for Award Management (SAM) and identified by its specifically assigned CAGE Code. However, IAW CFR 125.8(e), the Government will also evaluate past experience and past performance submitted by the individual firms that make up a joint venture.

2.4 Notwithstanding the specific requirements of any other area of the RFP, information submitted about any company other than the offeror, whether a predecessor company, affiliated company, subsidiary (including wholly owned subsidiaries), or subcontractor, WILL NOT be evaluated for any factor. "Successor" means an entity that has replaced a predecessor by acquiring the assets and carrying out the affairs of the predecessor under a new name (often through acquisition or merger). Successor entities shall clearly demonstrate in Volume I, Tab A of their proposal the official legal means performed to transform the former Predecessor Company to its current Successor, legal business entity. Examples of substantive documentation may include but is not limited to Articles of Incorporation, Joint Venture Agreements, Novation Agreements, and Merger Documentation. Note: The term ''successor'' does not include new offices/ divisions of the same company or a company that only changes its name.

2.5 Offerors shall submit their proposal in accordance with the Section 3. General Proposal Format, paragraph 3.4.

2.6 Proposals are due no later than the time and date specified in Block 13 of Standard Form 1442.

3. GENERAL PROPOSAL FORMAT.

3.1 Cover Page. Include the title of the solicitation, solicitation number, offeror name, and date of the submittal.

3.2 Table of Contents. Each volume of the proposal shall contain a detailed table of contents. If more than one Adobe PDF file is used for a volume, the complete table of contents shall be included in each. Any materials submitted but not required by this solicitation (such as company brochures) shall be relegated to appendices.

3.3 All information intended to be evaluated as part of the Technical Proposal must be submitted as part of the Technical Proposal. Do not cross-reference similar material in the Price Proposal, or vice versa. No dollar amounts from the Price Proposal are to be included in the Technical proposal.

**************Amendment 03**************

3.4 Each offeror must submit Price and Technical Proposals as separate (CD-ROM) Discs via USPS, UPS, FedEx or DHL to the address in Box 6 of the SF-1442 solicitation document. Hand carried proposals are acceptable. No hard paper copies will be accepted or evaluated. The Price and Technical Proposals must be received by the closing date and time set for receipt of proposals.

In an effort to reduce paperwork and reduce cost, all proposals shall be submitted utilizing compac disks as the storage media. All submissions shall be in Adobe PDF format and shall be on 8 ½ x 11 size pages in no less than a 10 pitch or 10 font. Page limitations, where specified in the RFP, shall be considered a maximum. Offerors may use compressions utility software such as WinZip or PKZip to reduce file size and facilitate transmission.

3.5 The offeror is responsible for including sufficient details in its proposal to permit a complete and accurate evaluation. Accordingly, the offeror shall be clear and concise in its proposal. The Government will not make assumptions concerning the offeror’s intent.

3.6 The technical data criteria specified for each factor identified herein and as described in these instructions shall be submitted as part of the proposal. Failure to submit all the data required by the RFP, and these instructions may be cause for determining a proposal incomplete and, therefore, not considered for award.

3.7 Do not include exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the technical or price proposal. Should the offer include any standard company terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, the offer may be determined “unacceptable” and thus ineligible for award. Should the offeror have any questions related to specific terms and conditions, these should be resolved prior to the submission of the offer.

3.8 Tabs. Proposal shall be organized and tabbed as follows:

3.8.1 VOLUME I: OFFEROR’S CERTIFICATIONS AND PRICE (FACTOR 1)

If the principal’s obligations are not met, the bond assures payment, to the extent stipulated, of any loss sustained by the obligee.”

Bonds shall therefore be executed in the name of the legal entity, whether a joint venture, partnership or the Prime Contractor of an informal teaming arrangement, with whom the government would enter into a contract for a successful offeror. The entity named on the bond must be able to acquire bonding capacity on its own merits, and not as the result of indemnification from a subcontractor or third party.

6. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS & EVALUATION FACTORS

VOLUME II: TAB C — FACTOR 4 - PAST PERFORMANCE.

6.1 SUBMISSION/MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

6.1.1 Past performance refers to the quality of recent and relevant project experience from the owner’s perspective. The offeror shall complete and provide a Past Performance Assessment Questionnaire (Appendix A, Example 3) on no fewer than three (3) and no more than five (5) projects. Projects submitted under this factor must first be deemed recent and relevant.

6.1.1.1 Relevant: Offer must demonstrate experience as a prime contractor on projects of similar size, scope, or complexity. The minimum requirement for a project of similar size, scope, or complexity is defined as a requirement with all of the following:

o Eight thousand (8,000) square feet (SF) or more aggregate interior space.

o Total value of project equal to or greater than $7,000,000.00 o At least one (1) of the projects submitted shall include a multi-story, steel frame building

6.1.1.2 Recent: Projects of similar size, scope, and complexity that must have been completed (fully designed and at least 50% construction progress completed) within six (6) years preceding the date of the solicitation.

6.1.2 Though not required, ideally project past performance information submitted under this factor would be on the same projects submitted for consideration under FACTOR 2, PAST EXPERIENCE. Individual project Past Performance Assessment Questionnaires shall not exceed five (5) pages; Government evaluators will review and evaluate only the information contained on the first five (5) pages. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division, unit or team member submitting the offer. The Government will call and confirm information provided by the offeror on the Past Performance Assessment Questionnaire with the points of contact, to the extent necessary to conduct a meaningful evaluation. The Government reserves the right to interview other individuals if the point of contact is not available.

6.1.3 The Government may contact sources other than those provided by the offeror for information with respect to past performance. These other sources may include but are not limited to: Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), other Government sources, and interviews with organizations or individuals familiar with the offeror’s performance.

6.1.4 Offerors shall utilize the Past Performance Assessment Questionnaire in Appendix A, Example 3.

6.1.5 If the offeror is a Joint Venture (J-V), relevant project experience should be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity, or the individual firms that make up the joint venture. Experience of proposed subcontractors to be utilized on this project will not be considered.

6.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

6.2.1 The Government will consider past performance of the prime construction contractor. If a firm has multiple functions or divisions, the Government will only evaluate the past performance of the unit or division submitting the offer. Where the Government views an offeror’s role, or that of its team members, if any, as not significant or as not clearly defined, the Government reserves the right to view this lack of involvement, or clarity, as a risk which may impact an offeror’s rating for this factor despite the quality of recent, relevant past performance information.

6.2.2 Past performance shall be initially evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s present/past performance is recent, and relevant to the effort to be acquired.

o Relevant: The minimum requirement for a project of similar size, scope, and complexity is defined as eight thousand 8,000 square feet (SF) or more aggregate interior space, with a total value equal to or greater than $7,000,000.00. At least one

(1) of the projects submitted should include a multi-story, steel frame building o Recent: Projects of similar size, scope, and complexity that must have been completed (fully designed and at least 50% construction progress completed) within six (6) years preceding the date of the initial proposal submission date.

6.2.3 The Government will evaluate ONLY recent and relevant past performance based on the elements listed below to assign a confidence rating of acceptable/unacceptable.

6.2.4 Second, the past performance evaluation shall determine how well the offeror performed on prior contracts. The contractor shall have no “unsatisfactory” or “marginal” ratings in the following criteria in Past Performance Information Retreival System (PPIRS): quality, schedule, cost control, management, and utilization of small business, regulatory compliance, and safety.

(1) Quality of Construction. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the quality of the actual construction undertaken and the offeror’s ability to maintain quality control and accuracy of quality control documentation.

(2) Schedule. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the completion of projects within the scheduled completion times.

(3) Cost Control. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the offeror’s ability to efficiently utilize resources and demonstrate cost responsibility.

(4) Management. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the offeror’s ability to manage resources and key personnel.

(5) Utilization of Small Business. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the offeror’s ability to meet small business subcontracting plan goals.

(6) Regulatory Compliance. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect the offeror’s ability to enforce laws and regulations, correct deficiencies when non-compliant, and communicate laws and regulations to subcontractors.

(7) Safety. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the contractor’s safety program or efforts.

6.2.5 Failure to demonstrate the minimally acceptability standards under this factor will result in an “UNACCEPTABLE” rating and possible elimination from further consideration for contract award.

7. EVALUATION STANDARDS.

7.1 The Government will evaluate proposals using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Source Selection Process of FAR 15.101-2.

7.2 Proposals will be evaluated for acceptability, but not ranked using non-cost/price factors.

7.3 Tradeoffs will not be permitted.

7.4 Each evaluation factor and its risk rating combined will be determined and assigned using the adjectival and color descriptions contained herein. Upon assessment of each individual sub- factor and its risk rating, the appropriate overall rating for the technical proposal will be assigned using these acceptable and unacceptable (pass/fail) ratings as defined below:

Color Rating Description

Green Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Red Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

7.5 Upon assessment of past performance information, the appropriate overall rating for past performance will be assigned using these acceptable and unacceptable (pass/fail) ratings as defined below:

Color Rating Description

Green 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 below)

Red 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.

7.6 In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a) (2) (iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

7.7 To be considered technically acceptable, no technical factor in the proposal may be determined to be unacceptable. The failure of a proposal to meet any of the acceptability standards for non-cost factors will result in a technically unacceptable rating and preclude award.

8. RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF FACTORS.

8.1 Evaluation factors other than cost or price are of equal importance. An unacceptable rating on any non-price factor will render a proposal ineligible for award.

9. PROPOSAL EVALUATION

9.1 Proposals must meet all the criteria stated in this RFP in order to be eligible for award, to include responsiveness, technical acceptability, and responsibility.

9.2 The Government will evaluate each proposal independently from other proposals using only the RFP evaluation criteria.

10. EXCEPTIONS.

10.1 Exceptions to the contractual terms and conditions of the solicitation (e.g., standard company terms and conditions) may result in a determination to reject a proposal.

11. RESTRICTIONS.

11.1 Failure to submit all the data in the format indicated in this section may be cause for determining a proposal incomplete and, therefore, not considered for evaluation, and for subsequent award.

12. PRICE.

12.1 Price analysis will be performed to determine fairness and reasonableness as well as to assure an understanding of the work and ability to execute the task order at the price proposed.

The evaluation will determine the extent to which the price proposal is realistic and consistent with the requirements of the RFP, to include limitations of the specified CCL, if any, reflect a clear understanding of the requirements, and are consistent with the information provided by the offeror.

Historical price information, competitive price information, the Independent Government Estimate (IGE), or any other pricing tool will be utilized as necessary in making this determination. Offerors are advised that any offer wherein pricing is deemed unbalanced or unreasonable, to include offers deemed to be unreasonably low, will be rendered ineligible for award. Additionally, all offers will be analyzed for unbalanced pricing.

Price will be evaluated and considered but will not be scored or combined with other aspects of the proposal evaluation.

The otherwise technically-acceptable, lowest-priced offeror may be required to confirm its price on either a, CLIN, element, or total price basis, and/or provide additional information in support of their price, prior to contract award at the Government’s request and discretion.

13. BASIS FOR AWARD.

13.1 Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of technically acceptable proposals.
