5. Factor 3 – Past Performance

5.1 Information provided on the Contract Description Forms provided under Factor 1:

Relevant Contractor Experience will be used to evaluate Past Performance.

5.2 Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ).

5.2.1 For all contracts identified in Factor 1, a Past Performance Questionnaire must be completed and submitted. The Past Performance Questionnaire included in this solicitation (at the end of Section 00 22 16) is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the customer/client for each project the offeror includes in its proposal for the Past Performance factor. The offeror shall complete Part I of the Past Performance Questionnaire and e-mail the questionnaire to both the Government contracting activity and technical representative responsible for the past/current contract. The POCs shall be instructed to electronically complete Part II of the questionnaire. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the customer/client point of contact.

5.2.2 Completed PPQs should be submitted with your proposal. If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a customer/client for a project before the proposal closing date, the offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ which will provide contract and customer information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow up with customers/clients to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. The Government reserves the right to contact the customer/client for verification or additional information. If the customer requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Contracting Office no later than the proposal due date via email. Robert McPherren, Contract Specialist, via email at robert.j.mcpherren@usace.army.mil.

5.2.3 Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. i.e. offerors cannot reference PPQ’s from other projects by simply stating “refer to PPQ submitted for Project XX”. Complete PPQs must be submitted for this project. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information into the past performance evaluation.

5.2.4 Offerors may include performance recognition documents received within the last seven (7) years, from RFP closing date, such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition relative to the projects submitted for this factor. 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.

mailto:robert.j.mcpherren@usace.army.mil

5.2.5 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.

5.2.6 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 PPQ provided at the end of this section, documenting the quality of the offeror’s performance for the project submitted.

5.2.7 PPQs 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 Descriptions Form. Previously completed surveys will be evaluated only if: (1) they match the projects identified in Volume I Tab A and

(2) they are submitted according to the instructions listed above.

5.3 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 Concerns, maximizing opportunities for U.S.

small business subcontractors. Offerors may submit ISRs/SSRs as part of their past performance. 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 and FAR 52.219-9 (large businesses only). 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 and 52.219-9 (large businesses only) shall certify the same. In evaluating past performance, the Government reserves the right to review any ISRs/SSRs in the eSRS, not provided in the Offeror’s proposal.

5.4 If an offeror has been required to take corrective action for any substandard performance (overall rating below Satisfactory), the offeror should explain the circumstances and the corrective actions taken. If an offeror has experienced other performance problems such as cost overruns, extended performance periods, numerous warranty calls, etc…, the offeror should provide an explanation of the reason(s) for the shortcomings and any corrective action(s) taken to avoid recurrence.

6. EVALUATION CRITERIA

6.1 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. Information provided on the Contract Description Forms provided under Factor 1: Relevant Contractor Experience will be used to evaluate Past Performance.

6.1.1 The Government will focus its inquiries on the record of performance as it relates to all solicitation requirements, including cost, schedule, performance and management of subcontractors and compliance with FAR 52.219-8, Utilization of Small Business Concerns, and FAR 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan. A significant achievement, problem, or lack of relevant data in any element of the work can become an important consideration in the evaluation process.

Absent any recent and relevant past performance history or when the performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will be assigned an Acceptable rating. In making its assessment, the Government may use data provided by the offeror in its proposal and data obtained from other sources, including data in Government files or data obtained through interviews with personnel familiar with the contractor, and any other information relating to their current and past performance under Federal, State or Local government or commercial contracts.

6.1.2 The past performance factor considers each offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the contract requirements.

6.1.2.1 RECENCY: The first aspect is to evaluate the recency of the offeror’s past performance. Recency is generally expressed as a time period during which past performance references are considered relevant and is critical to establishing the relevancy of past performance information. (Seven (7) years as of the RFP closing date.)

6.1.2.2 RELEVANCY: The second aspect is 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 (see Table 2) will be used to establish what is relevant which shall include items such as similarity of service/support, complexity, dollar value, contract type, and degree of subcontract/teaming.

Table 2 - Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating Definition Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

6.1.2.3 QUALITY ASSESSMENT: This aspect assesses the overall quality of the offeror’s past performance. Documented results from Past Performance

Questionnaires, interviews, CPARS, and other sources form the support and basis for this assessment.

6.1.3 Past Performance Evaluation Ratings: Utilize the Performance Evaluation

Ratings (see Table 2 below) to select the most appropriate rating for each Offeror. Ensure the rationale for the conclusions reached are included.

7. VOLUME 2, Tabs A-F – Cost/Price. The volume shall be organized in accordance with the 2. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS and include the following:

7.1 Electronic Copy. The Offeror shall provide a completed Proposal Schedule from Section 00 10 00 of the RFP. All price breakdown information to aide in the cost/price evaluation shall be submitted in Microsoft Office Excel.

7.2 Compliance. Failure to comply with the RFP requirements for Cost information may result in an adverse assessment of an offeror’s proposal and reduce or eliminate its chance of being selected for award. Offerors shall ensure that the information presented in this volume is consistent and correlates with the information contained in the other proposal volumes. Also, the Offeror shall ensure that the information submitted in this volume is consistent with and fully supports the amounts set forth in the SF1442 and continuation sheets.

7.3 General Instructions. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)

15.402 and 15.403-1, certified cost or pricing data are not required based on the fact that adequate competition is expected for this procurement. Information other than certified cost or pricing data may be provided in contractor format providing that sufficient information is made available.
