5. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS & EVALUATION FACTORS

VOLUME II: TAB C — FACTOR 3 - PAST PERFORMANCE.

5.1 SUBMISSION/MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

5.1.1 Past performance refers to the quality of recent, relevant project experience from the owner’s perspective. 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 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 5.3 and the evaluation standards set forth in paragraphs 7.2 and 7.3.

The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project the offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 3 – Past Performance for the Prime Contractor. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed Past Performance

Questionnaires should be submitted with your proposal. If the offeror is unable to obtain a

W912PM20R0009

completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ (Attachment 3), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, Jenifer Garland

(Contract Specialist) and John Hill (Contracting Officer) via email at jenifer.m.garland@usace.army.mil and john.t.hill@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date.

Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

Also include performance recognition documents received within the last 6 years such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

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.

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 2. 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. To the extent necessary to conduct a meaningful evaluation, the Government will call and confirm with the points of contact, information provided by the offeror on the

NAVFAC/USACE PPQ. The Government reserves the right to interview other individuals if the point of contact is not available.

5.1.1.2 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

5.1.2 Other Sources. In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Contractor Performance Assessment

Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and

Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

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

5.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

5.2.1 The Government will evaluate the offeror's past performance using the sources available mailto:jenifer.m.garland@usace.army.mil mailto:john.t.hill@usace.army.mil

W912PM20R0009

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 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.

5.2.3 The Government will consider recent, relevant projects that are successfully completed and/or substantially completed (fully designed and at least 50% construction progress completed) within six (6) years preceding the date of the solicitation. To be deemed relevant, projects must comply with minimum criteria in paragraph 4.1.2.1. The Government will consider the recency and relevancy 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 Offerors are cautioned that the submission of each NAVFAC/USACE PPQ shall not exceed Seven (7) pages and that Government evaluators will review and evaluate only the information contained on the first seven pages.

5.3 The Government will evaluate recent, relevant past performance (as set forth in paragraph

7.2) based on the elements listed below to assign a confidence rating in accordance with paragraph 7.3:

5.3.1 Quality of Construction. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the quality of the actual construction undertaken and the standards of workmanship exhibited by the offeror.

5.3.2 Timeliness of Performance. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the completion of projects within the scheduled completion times.

5.3.3 Customer Satisfaction. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to customer satisfaction, cooperation with customers, and interaction on past projects.

5.3.4 Management. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to effective management of subcontractors, suppliers and labor on past projects.

5.3.5 Cost. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the contractor’s ability to perform within the contractually agreed price.

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

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

5.4 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.

6. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS & EVALUATION FACTORS

VOLUME II: TAB C —FACTOR 4 – SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION PLAN.

6. This factor requires all offerors (both large and small businesses) to submit a proposed Small

Business Participation Plan utilizing the template provided as Attachment 5 of this solicitation.

The Small Business Participation Plan will be evaluated on the level of proposed participation of

U.S. small businesses in the performance of acquisition (as small business prime offerors or 1st tier small business subcontractors) relative to the objectives and goals established herein. This is

NOT a sub-contracting plan. Evaluation of this factor is based on the percentage of total contract value and not total subcontracted dollars. For large business offerors, the goals set forth in the

Small Business Participation Plan shall mirror the goals set forth in VOLUME I: Offerors

Certifications and Price Tab J - Subcontracting Plan – FOR LARGE BUSINESS OFFERORS

ONLY.

6.1 SUBMISSION/MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

6.1.1 Planned Small Business Utilization: All offerors are required to provide a Small

Business Participation Plan utilizing the template entitled Attachment 4 “Proposed Small

Business Participation Plan” and a supporting narrative discussion of no more than 5 pages total addressing their corporate approach and methodology for acquiring, soliciting and using small and small disadvantaged businesses in the performance of this contract. All narratives should address the offeror's commitment to providing subcontracting opportunities, as well as evidence of planned and/or continued outreach efforts to encourage and use small and small disadvantaged businesses. Narratives should demonstrate the historical execution of small business participation on no fewer than three (3) and no more than five (5) projects. Offeror’s

W912PM20R0009

proposal must meet the minimum mandatory Total Small Business Participation goal (20%) through collective small business participation from any type of small business or sub-category small business, whether small business prime or 1st tier small business subcontractor.

The subcategory small business goals are NOT mandatory.

6.1.2 The overall extent to which each small business subcategory will be utilized shall be provided. This should include a general description of the type of work, product or service anticipated to be supplied via a small business concern along with the estimated percentage of each subcontracted portion in relation to the overall project. Identification of the names of specific subcontractors is not required for the small business utilization evaluation; however, successful offerors will ultimately be required to name subcontractors as a part of their subcontracting plan submission (Example: Demolition Work- 10% of total work effort-

SDVOSB identified).

6.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

6.2.1 Small Business Participation Plans will be evaluated on the basis of:

o The extent to which such Small Business firms are specifically identified in proposals;

o The extent of commitment to use such Small Business firms o Identification of the complexity and variety of the work small firms are to perform;

o The extent of participation of small business prime offerors and 1st tier small business subcontractors in terms of the percentage of the value of the total acquisition and the extent to which the proposal meets or exceed the small business participation goals for this acquisition.

o The work to be performed directly by a small business prime will be evaluated as small business participation.

The small business participation goal for this acquisition is Total Small Business (any type of small business) goal of 20% of the total contract value for this acquisition.

The Sub-category Small Business goals are:

3.0% of total contract value to Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB)

3.0% of total contract value to HUBZONE

3.0% of total contract value to Women Owned (WOSB)

2.0% of total contract value to Service-Disabled Veteran Owned (SDVOSB)

2.0% of total contract value to Veteran Owned (VOSB)

0.0% of total contract value to Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions

(HBCU/MI)

(Note, for example, that a participation plan that reflects 1% of the total contract value for WOSB would also count towards the overall Small Business Goal; and percentages for SDVOSB also count towards VOSB).

6.2.2 The Government will evaluate narratives provided by applying the adjectival descriptions of paragraph 9.5 of this solicitation. Those narratives with greater detail and specificity will be given greater credit than general statements and commitments provided said details clearly demonstrate offeror’s historical achievement of proposed goals.

6.2.3 If the Government does not obtain information on past performance from the offeror and cannot establish a past performance record for the offeror’s small business utilization through other sources that aspect of this factor will be rated neither favorably nor unfavorably.

6.2.4 The Government will only consider the prime construction contractor participation plan. If a firm has multiple functions or divisions, the Government will only evaluate the past performance of the unit or division submitting the offer. The offeror is required to demonstrate its planned level of commitment to small business usage if awarded a contract from this solicitation and demonstrate its previous commitment to small business usage in the past performance of recent and relevant projects. Work performed by the offeror that is a small business shall be considered small business participation.

6.2.5 The Government will consider recent, relevant projects that are successfully completed, or substantially completed (fully designed and at least 50% construction progress completed) within six (6) years preceding the date of the solicitation. To be deemed relevant, projects must comply with minimum criteria in paragraph 4.1.2.1. The Government will consider the degree to which the project is recent and relevant, the source of project information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor performance.
