3.0.1 Where the word “project(s)” appears, it is understood to mean a project(s), contract(s), task order(s), or any other contract document provided for in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR 2.101). Examples of projects submitted by the Prime Construction Contractor may be projects performed for a State or Federal Government Agency; or for a commercial or private sector customer.

3.0.2 Where the word “recent” appears it is understood to mean a construction type project for which construction is at least 70% complete (measured by performance period days) as of the RFP closing date or a construction type project that has been completed within 7 years of the RFP closing date. Projects completed more than 7 years before the RFP closing date will not be considered for evaluation purposes.

3.0.3 Where the word “relevant” appears it is understood to mean that project experience submitted is similar to the context of this solicitation in terms of scope and magnitude of effort and complexity as described and required in this RFP. For this RFP, “relevant” projects are defined as projects that are similar in terms of:

Scope (Dam Construction, Dewatering, Diversion and Care of Water, Fabric Reinforced Fill, Core Fill, Drain Gravel and Filter Sand Construction, Riprap, Reinforced Concrete, Restressed Concrete Bridges, Outlet and Canal Gates, Electric Motor Operated Gates, Gravel Road Surfaces Construction.)

Type (Concrete Structures, Compacted Embankment and General Excavation and Earthen Dam Construction.), Complexity (Working on Tribal lands, working in a remote location with little to no utilities available, providing irrigation water during construction, and working in difficult site conditions.)

Magnitude ($5 Million or above).

4.0 FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL – SUBFACTOR A: RELEVANT CONTRACTOR EXPERIENCE

4.1 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

4.1.1 The Offeror shall submit examples of construction projects which best illustrate the experience of the construction contractor on relevant projects of similar in scope, type, complexity, and magnitude as defined in section 3.03 above.

A minimum three (3) projects, but not more than 5, are to be submitted for the Prime Contractor.

Each project example shall include a project narrative, discussing the project and providing specifics as noted herein. If a Joint Venture (JV) is proposing, provide examples for each prime contractor in the JV within the five project examples allowed.

4.1.2 Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contracts, where numerous Task Orders are summed to meet the minimum construction dollar value identified herein, are not acceptable.

4.1.3 The Government preference is that project examples submitted be of completed projects (i.e. construction complete). Projects still under construction will be evaluated only if they are more than 70 percent complete.

4.1.4 Information is to be compiled on the Contract Description Forms provided at the end of section 00 22 16 and will be used to evaluate contractor experience. Responses to this factor should take into account experience of the management team proposed for the contract, timeliness of performance, safety and health record, customer satisfaction and cost control. Offerors are invited, but not required, to submit photographs of successful projects in conjunction with this section. Project experience submitted by the Offeror as a subcontractor will not be evaluated.

4.1.5 Each project example narrative should include the following information:

7.3.1.4 Offerors may include performance recognition documents received within the last seven years (7) such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition relative to the projects submitted for Tab B: Past Performance. 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 Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including 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.

7.3.1.5 While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rest with the Offeror.

7.3.1.6 Other types of past performance questionnaires, signed by a commercial customer or signed by a representative from another Federal or State agency, may be submitted as long as the information submitted has the same or similar information as that of the Past Performance Questionnaire provided at the end of this section, documenting the quality of the Offeror’s performance for the project submitted.

7.3.1.7 Past Performance Questionnaires previously completed by the customer/client may be submitted in lieu of having the customer/client complete a new questionnaire for the contracts identified in the Contract Description Forms. Previously completed surveys will be evaluated only if: (1) they match the projects identified in the Contract Descriptions Form and (2) they are submitted according to the instructions listed above.

7.1.4 Small Business Participation Past Performance. All Offerors shall submit information substantiating the Offerors’ past performance in complying with FAR 52.219-8, “Utilization of Small Business”, maximizing opportunities for U.S. small business subcontractors. Offerors shall also provide a statement indicating whether any negative information has been reported in the past seven years concerning the Offerors’ past compliance with FAR 52.219-8. If any such negative information has been reported, the Offeror may submit explanations or comments responding to such negative information. Offerors with no prior contracts containing FAR 52.219-8 shall certify the same.

7.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the contract.

7.2.1 The Government will focus its inquiries on the Offeror’s record of performance as it relates to the solicitation requirements, including cost, schedule, performance and management of subcontractors. A significant achievement, problem, or lack of relevant data in any element of the work can become an important consideration in the evaluation process. Therefore, Offerors will be reminded to include the most recent and relevant efforts (within the past seven years) in their proposal. Absent any recent and relevant past performance history, the Offeror will be assigned an “unknown confidence rating” and its proposal will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance. The Government may use data provided by the Offeror in its proposal and data obtained from other sources (i.e. PPIRS, CPARS, etc.) including data in Government files or data obtained through interviews with personnel familiar with the contractor and their current and past performance under Federal, State or Local government or commercial contracts for same or similar services as compared to the work outlined in the RFP. Data used in conducting performance risk assessments shall not extend past seven years prior to the closing date of the RFP, but may include performance data generated during the past seven years without regard to the contract award date.

7.2.2 Projects submitted must be “relevant” when compared to the project described in the solicitation.

For this RFP, “relevant” projects are defined at the beginning of this Section 002216 of the RFP.

7.2.3 Offerors shall submit contracts for the prime Offeror either currently in performance (at least 70% complete) or awarded during the past seven years, from the closing date of this RFP, which are relevant to the efforts required by this solicitation.

3. Proposal/Price Schedule. Your proposed price for this project shall be in the form of the Proposal/Price Schedule provided in this solicitation. Offerors may not modify the price schedule wording or format. As this is a firm fixed-price contract, price proposals will not be considered which provide for subsequent increases in price. No qualified price proposal of any type will be accepted; therefore, all offers containing such qualifications will be considered unacceptable. If the Offeror does not comply with all requirements of the proposal forms, the proposal may be considered unacceptable and eliminated from consideration.

4. Bid Guarantee/Bond (SF24): This tab shall contain an executed bid bond for either 20% or $3 Million, whichever is less. These documents should be secured within some form of document protector and not “hole-punched”.

7. JV Agreement and/or Corporate, Partnership, Joint Venture Certificate. If applicable, the offerors shall provide a copy of the firm’s JV Agreement. The offer shall provide a completed copy of the Corporate, Partnership, Joint Venture Certificate provided in the RFP.

9.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA

9.2.1 The contract will be a Firm Fixed Priced (FFP) contract. The Government will evaluate price reasonableness for the fixed priced effort. The base bid and all options shall be included in the price evaluation.

Should the Government determine that the proposed prices are unrealistically low, this will be considered a performance risk.

9.2.2 The RFP requires firm-fixed-prices contract line items. A price reasonableness approach will be utilized by the Government to determine that the proposed prices offered are fair and reasonable and that unbalanced pricing between CLINs or Options is not occurring. In evaluating price reasonableness, other than cost and pricing data shall be utilized.

9.2.3 The Government will examine price proposals for artificially low unit prices when unit pricing is applicable. Offers found to be unreasonably high, unrealistically low, or unbalanced, may be considered unacceptable and may be rejected on that basis.

10.0 LOWEST PRICE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE (LPTA) SOURCE SELECTION PROCESS.

10.1 The proposal that provides the lowest price and is otherwise technically acceptable in all factors will be accepted for award. To be considered technically acceptable, no factor in the proposal may be rated as “Unacceptable.” The failure of a proposal to meet all of the requirements under any Factor will result in a technically unacceptable rating and preclude award. If a proposal is found to be technically unacceptable in any one of the three evaluated areas (technical, past performance, and cost/price), this will render the proposal as technically unacceptable overall, and the offer will be removed from further consideration for award.

10.2 The Government will conduct technical evaluations of proposals as follows. Each proposal will be evaluated by the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) against the evaluation factors established in Section 00 22 16.

10.3 The Contracting Officer may establish a competitive range consisting of the most highly rated proposals after the initial review of both the technical and price proposals. Once the competitive range is established, the Government will engage in Discussions with all offerors included in the competitive range. After receipt of the Offeror’s responses raised during Discussions, responses will be rated again in the same manner as described above for the initial evaluation.

11.0 BASIS FOR AWARD.

11.1 Subject to the provisions contained herein, award will be made to one (1) Offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, who conforms to the solicitation requirements, and whose proposal, judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation criteria and other considerations specified in this solicitation, meets the technically acceptable standard for the non-cost factors and provides the lowest evaluated price.

12.0 EVALUATION

12.1 Each member of the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will independently consider all information provided in the technical proposal. Once these individual analyses are completed, the team will meet and determine a rating for each of the evaluation factors by consensus decision. The evaluation team will document strengths (e.g., advantages), weaknesses (e.g., disadvantages), and other comments (e.g., deficiency and/or clarification) to support the rating for each factor, as well as the overall rating. The ratings for Technical Factors will be expressed in an adjectival assessment of Acceptable and Unacceptable.

12.2 The past performance factor considers each Offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying construction services that meet the contract requirements. There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation: relevancy and contractor performance.

12.2.1 RELEVANCY: The first aspect of the past performance evaluation is to assess the Offeror’s past performance to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the Offeror is to the effort to be acquired through the source selection. Relevancy is not separately rated; however, the following criteria will be used to establish what is relevant. These criteria shall include similarity of service/support effort, scope, complexity, dollar

W912PP19R0021

value, contract type and other comparable attributes of past performance examples and the solicitation requirements Past Performance Relevancy Ratings are Relevant and Not Relevant.

12.2.1.1 Relevancy will be rated based on the Matrix in Factor 1.

12.2.2 QUALITY OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. The third aspect of past performance evaluation is to establish the overall quality of the offeror’s past performance. Past Performance information will be reviewed to determine the quality of the offeror’s performance, general trends, and usefulness of the information and incorporate these into the performance confidence assessment.

12.2.3 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE: The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the contractor performed on the contracts. The past performance evaluation gathers information from customers on how well the Offeror performed those past contracts. The past performance evaluation considers each Offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance and results in an assessment of the Offeror’s probability of meeting the contract requirements. In determining contractor performance, each Offeror shall be assigned one of the ratings identified below. One rating is assigned for each Offeror after evaluating the Offeror’s recent past performance, focusing on performance that is relevant to the contract requirements. Contractor Performance Ratings are Acceptable and Unacceptable.

12.2.3 Offerors (a) for whom compliance with FAR 52.219-8 Utilization of Small Business Concerns has been established; and/or (b) for whom no negative information has been reported; or (c) certifying no past performance history of contracts containing FAR 52.219-8 will be rated as “complying with FAR 52.219-8.” Such a rating shall have neither positive nor negative impact on the Offeror’s overall Past Performance evaluation.

W912PP19R0021

Communications. Exchanges, between the Government and offerors, after receipt of proposals, leading to establishment of the competitive range. Those include, but are not limited to, exchanges with:

a. Offerors whose past performance information is the determining factor preventing them from being included in the competitive range. Such communications will address adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not had a prior opportunity to respond; and

b. Offerors (other than those discussed above) whose exclusion from or inclusion in the competitive range is uncertain.

c. Communications may be conducted to enhance Government understanding of proposals; allow reasonable interpretation of the proposal; or facilitate the Government’s evaluation process. Communications cannot be used to cure proposal deficiencies or material omissions, materially alter the technical or price elements of the proposal, and/or otherwise revise the technical or price elements of the proposal. Such communications may be considered in rating proposals for the purpose of establishing the competitive range, if required. Communications shall not provide an opportunity for the Offeror to revise their proposal, but may address ambiguities in the proposal or other concerns (e.g. perceived deficiencies, weaknesses, errors, omissions, or mistakes and information relating to relevant past performance).

Discussions - Negotiations conducted in a competitive acquisition. Discussions take place after establishment of the competitive range.

Deficiency - A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

Strength - An aspect of an offeror’s proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Significant Strength - A significant strength appreciably enhances the merit of a proposal or appreciably increases the probability of successful contract performance.

Weakness - A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Significant Weakness - A significant weakness in a proposal is a flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Uncertainty - Any aspect of a non-cost/price factor proposal for which the intent of the offeror is unclear (e.g., more than one way to interpret the offer or inconsistencies in the proposal indicating that there may have been an error, omission or mistake).

14.0 DISCUSSIONS

14.1 GENERAL INFORMATION. In accordance with FAR 15.306(d), discussion sessions with each Offeror may be held at the Government’s discretion. Should discussions take place, all Offerors in the competitive range will be allowed to submit final proposal revisions if discussions require such revisions.

14.2 DISCUSSION SCHEDULING. If discussions are conducted, the Contracting Officer will schedule the discussion sessions, and each Offeror will be notified of the time and place at least three (3) business days prior to their discussion session. The Contracting Officer will provide additional instructions with the notification. The discussion sessions will take place via teleconference or at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Albuquerque District offices.

ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT

YOUR EVALUATION OF THE CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory Performance meets minimum contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

(U) Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable No information or did not apply to your contract

Rating will be neither positive nor negative.
