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 Trade-Off Process (See Federal Acquisition Regulation 15.101-1). The proposal shall describe the capability of the offeror to perform the contract. 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 as set forth in these instructions and requirements.

1.3 Each offeror must submit both a Price Proposal and Technical Proposal, in addition to Past Performance Questionnaires. The Price Proposal, Technical Proposal, and Past Performance Questionnaires must be submitted as separate volumes/files. All information intended to be evaluated as part of the Technical Proposal must be submitted as part of the Technical Proposal.

Do not include exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the technical or price proposal.

Should the offeror have any questions related to specific terms and conditions, these should be resolved prior to the submission of the offer.

The technical data criteria specified for each factor identified herein, shall be submitted as part of the proposal.

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.

Failure to submit all the data required by the RFP and its Attachments, may be cause for determining a proposal incomplete and therefore may not be considered for award.

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 proposal. 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, the offeror shall submit evidence from the offeror’s SBA Servicing Agency that the offeror has notified and discussed the proposed joint venture for this project with the appropriate SBA personnel. For 8(a) set- aside procurements, all prospective Joint Ventures must comply with Title 13 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 124.513. For HUBZone set- aside procurements and awards to HUBZone SBCs through full and open competition after a price evaluation preference in favor of qualified HUBZone SBCs, a Joint Venture must comply with

13 CFR 126.616.

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 an affiliated company, subsidiary (including wholly owned subsidiaries), or subcontractor, WILL NOT be evaluated for any factor.

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.

"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).

Note: The term ''successor'' does not include new offices/ divisions of the same company or a company that only changes its name.

For the purposes of this Request for Proposal, please note that in accordance with

“Bond means a written instrument executed by a bidder or contractor (the “principal”), and a second party (the “surety” or “sureties”) (except as provided in 28.204), to assure fulfillment of the principal’s obligations to a third party (the “obligee” or “Government”), identified in the bond. 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.

4. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS & EVALUATION FACTORS

VOLUME II: TAB A—FACTOR 2 – PAST EXPERIENCE

4.1 SUBMISSION/MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

4.1.1 The offeror shall demonstrate recent, relevant experience as the prime contractor on projects using Attachment 2 at the end of this section. Offerors may identify state and local government and private contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements. If the offeror is a joint venture, or any other formal or informal teaming arrangement, only projects completed by the proposed prime entity may be submitted for evaluation. 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.

4.1.2 Projects must be deemed relevant to be considered for this procurement. Relevant projects are those projects which meet all of the minimum criteria specified in paragraph 4.1.2.1. The Government will not consider multiple projects such as individual task orders combined to meet the criteria referenced in 4.1.2.1 below. Projects which do not meet all of the minimum criteria specified shall be deemed not relevant and shall not be considered further. Relevant projects which meet some or all of the additional criteria specified in paragraph 4.1.2.2 may be given more weight by the Government in determining the appropriate rating.

4.1.2.1 Minimum Criteria. The offeror shall demonstrate the experience as a prime contractor on projects of similar size, scope, and complexity of projects:

• Projects shall involve vertical construction or renovation or combination of both types of work of at least 21,500 square feet of gross space.

• Projects submitted by the offeror shall have a new construction and/or renovation value of no less than $17,500,000.00

• A minimum of two (2) projects submitted shall include construction of a Sensitive Compartment Information Facility (SCIF) area within the building.

4.1.2.2 Additional Criteria. The Government may afford additional consideration for proposal containing the following:

• Projects may include construction of a facility within high security-controlled area. A high security control area is defined as an area requiring armed security guard escort at all times, perimeter intrusion detection or access control measures (into the actual project site), and contractor personnel require identification badges and are subject to random searches of vehicles, equipment and personnel (by users special security).

• Projects may include construction of a facility within an area that requires advanced site access coordination for all contractor personnel.

• Projects may include new construction of 35,750 square feet of gross space or greater.

• Proposals may include where the Sensitive Compartment Information Facility (SCIF) construction was performed at ICD 705 Standards.

• Projects may include construction of a Sensitive Compartment Information Facility

(SCIF) where the entire facility is a SCIF.

• Projects may include construction of consolidated administrative offices, operational and planning areas.

4.1.3 The offeror shall complete a minimum of three (3), but no more than five (5), “Experience Information” forms, (See Attachment 2), in response to this factor. All projects submitted must be at least 50% complete within the last six (6) years preceding the date of the solicitation.

4.1.4 Offerors shall utilize Experience Information Form in Attachment 2. This sheet is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information. For all submitted projects, the description of the project shall clearly describe the scope of work performed and the relevancy to the project requirements of this RFP. If the same project is being used to demonstrate construction and design experience, submit separate Project Data Sheets for construction and design. Except as specifically requested, the Government will not consider information submitted in addition to this form. Individual blocks on this form may be expanded;

however, total length for each project data sheet shall not exceed FOUR (4) pages.

4.1.5 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. Offerors that are part of the DoD Mentor Protégé program may only submit two

(2) recent and relevant project completed by the Mentor. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects. Experience of proposed subcontractors to be utilized on this project will not be considered.

4.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

4.2.1 The Government will evaluate the extent of recent, relevant experience of the prime contractor as identified in paragraph 4.1.2. Projects that were awarded on an individual task/delivery order basis will not be aggregated for purposes of meeting minimum or additional criteria. Federal Government project experience will not be rated inherently more important than non-Federal Government project experience.

4.2.2 To be considered eligible for award, the Government will verify that each offeror has submitted a minimum of three (3) projects which meet the minimum criteria of paragraph 4.1.2.

4.2.3 The Government intends to give greater consideration to proposals that demonstrate experience with the additional criteria listed in paragraph 4.1.2.2 when assigning evaluation standards in accordance with paragraphs 8.1 through 8.4.

The offeror shall complete and provide a NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), see Attachment 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 in accordance with the minimum criteria specified in paragraph 4.1.2.1 and additional criteria in paragraph 4.1.2.2 before being evaluated for quality in accordance with the criteria specified in paragraph 5.2 and the evaluation standards set forth in paragraphs 8.2 and 8.3. It is at the offerors discretion if they would like NAVFAC/USACE PPQs completed by their previous clients to be completed and returned to them to be included in their submission or submitted electronically to the attention of both the Contract Specialist, Robert Law at robert.n.law@usace.army.mil and the Contracting Officer, John Hill at john.t.hill@usace.army.mil.

5.1.2 Recent. In order for projects to be considered recent they must be 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.

5.1.3 Other Sources. 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: Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), other Government sources, and interviews with organizations or individuals familiar with the offeror’s performance.

5.1.4 The offeror shall provide clear and adequate information in response to the past performance elements identified on Attachment 3. Though not required, ideally project past performance information submitted under this factor would be on the same projects submitted for consideration under Factor 3. Individual project NAVFAC/USACE PPQs shall not exceed four (4) 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 NAVFAC/USACE PPQ 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.

5.1.5 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: Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), other Government sources, and interviews with organizations or individuals familiar with the offeror’s performance.

5.1.6 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. Offerors that are part of the DoD Mentor Protégé program may only submit two

(2) recent and relevant project completed by the Mentor. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects. Experience of proposed subcontractors to be utilized on this project will not be considered.

5.1.7 The past performance of individuals will not be considered under this factor.

5.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

5.2.1 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 mailto:robert.n.law@usace.army.mil mailto:john.t.hill@usace.army.mill 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.

The Government will evaluate the offeror's past performance using the sources available to it including but not limited to: the example projects identified by the offeror and submitted on the NAVFAC/USACE PPQs and any additional information received from references, CPARS or other sources. Offerors may be provided an opportunity to address any negative past performance information about which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond if such information is determined to present an impact on the rating to be assessed.

5.2.2 To be considered eligible for award, the Government will verify that each offeror has submitted a minimum of three (3) projects which meet the minimum criteria of paragraph 4.1.2.1.

5.2.3 The Government intends to give greater consideration to proposals that demonstrate recent and relevant Past Performance with the additional criteria listed in paragraph 4.1.2.2 when assigning evaluation standards in accordance with paragraphs 8.1 through 8.4. The offeror’s Past Experience will be evaluated based on the Government’s assessment of each submitted project’s similarity (in terms of size, scope and complexity) to the work described in this RFP. The Government will consider the recency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor performance. The Government places higher value on projects for which successful performance can be validated by means other than the offeror’s self-assessment such as through independent telephone interviews with points of contact identified in the proposal, CPARS or other agency performance databases, offeror furnished references or personal knowledge. The Government places a higher value on projects which provided particularly difficult or unique challenges and the innovative methods the offeror used to resolve problems successfully.

5.2.4 The Government will evaluate recent, relevant past performance (as set forth in paragraph 8.2) based on the elements listed below to assign a confidence rating in accordance with paragraph 8.3:

(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.

5.2.5 General. The Government will evaluate all general information and comments provided by previous clients with respect to the contractor’s efforts.

5.3 In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. In this case, the offeror’s past performance is unknown and assigned a performance confidence rating of “neutral.” Although the Government may not rate an offeror that lacks recent, relevant past performance favorably or unfavorably with regard to past performance, the Government may determine, that a “Substantial Confidence” or “Satisfactory Confidence” past performance rating is worth more than a “Neutral Confidence” past performance rating.

5.4 Offerors are cautioned that the submission of each NAVFAC/USACE PPQ shall not exceed four (4) pages and that Government evaluators will review and evaluate only the information contained on the first four (4) pages. Note: Offerors shall remove the instructions for the PPQ prior to submission to reduce the total to four (4) pages. Should the offerors client submit directly to the government, the government will remove the instructions prior to evaluation.
