For the purposes of this Request for Proposal, please note that in accordance with (IAW) FAR 28.001:

“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.

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 and relevant project experience from the owner’s perspective.

The offeror shall complete and provide a Past Performance Assessment Questionnaire (Attachment #4) on no fewer than three (3) and no more than five (5) projects. This requirement also applies to the proposed designer of record.

A letter of commitment executed between the offeror and proposed designer of record specific to performance under this project must be included too. Should the offeror and proposed designer of record have performed on projects in the past, separate PPQs will be required unless those projects were Design-Build. If Design-Build, ensure both the offerors and proposed designer or records names both appear on the PPQ. Projects submitted under this factor must first be deemed recent and relevant.

5.1.1.1 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:

Below Relevant Criteria apply to both Design and Construction Contractors

- Equal to or greater than $27,000,000.00 in value

- Equal to or greater than 45,000 square feet in renovation, new construction or both.

- At least one (1) project must be greater than 3 floors.

- At least two (2) of the selected projects must be at least LEED Silver Certifiable. The Contractor shall submit a LEED checklist for each project applicable, showing the project meets this criterion.

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 Individual project Past Performance Assessment Questionnaires shall not exceed four (4) pages; Government evaluators will review and evaluate only the information contained on the first 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 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.

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

5.1.4 Offerors shall utilize the Past Performance Assessment Questionnaire in Attachment #4.

5.1.4.1 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 #4), 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, Jason S. Smith via email at jason.s.smith2@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 six (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/SAM Unique Identifier 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.

5.1.5 If the offeror is a Joint Venture (J-V), relevant project experience/past performance should be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity. Should the JV not have any prior experience/past performance, then experience/past performance of the individual firms that make up the JV will be considered. 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.

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

5.1.5.2 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. 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.

5.1.6 Offeror shall complete the latest version of the LEED checklist (see https://www.usgbc.org/leed for information on LEED certifications) to show a minimum of two (2) projects are at least LEED Silver Certifiable.

5.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA:

5.2.1 The Government will consider past performance of the prime construction contractor and proposed designer of record. 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.

5.2.2 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.
