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 past performance questionnaires 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.

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.

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.

5.1.6. NAVFAC / USACE Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ)

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. 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 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 2), 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 mailto:robert.n.law@usace.army.mil mailto:michael.m.mullen@usace.army.mil to the Government’s point of contact, Robert Law, Contracting Specialist via email at robert.n.law@usace.army.mil and/or Michael Mullen via email at michael.m.mullen@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.

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. 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.

***AMENDMENT 0001***

5.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

5.2.1 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 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, 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 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 that comply with the additional criteria in paragraph 4.1.2.2. 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 mailto:robert.n.law@usace.army.mil mailto:michael.m.mullen@usace.army.mil 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.

5.3 The Government will evaluate recent, relevant past performance (as set forth in paragraph 10.3) based on the elements listed below to assign a confidence rating in accordance with paragraph 10.4:

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.

7. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS & EVALUATION FACTORS

VOLUME I: TAB I—FACTOR 5 – Small Business Participation Plan

This factor requires all offerors (both large and small businesses) to submit a proposed Small Business Participation Plan utilizing the template provided as an Attachment 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.

7.1 SUBMISSION/MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

7.1.1 Planned Small Business Utilization: All offerors are required to provide a Small Business Participation Plan utilizing the template entitled “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 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.

7.1.2 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).

7.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

7.2.1 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).

7.2.2 The Government will evaluate narratives provided by applying the adjectival descriptions of paragraph 8.5 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.

7.2.3 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.

7.2.4 The Government will only…
