VOLUME 2, PART 1, OFFEROR TECHNICAL CAPABILITY PROPOSAL

Volume 2 Part 1 is comprised of four (4) subfactors. Subfactor 1 Experience and Capability; Subfactor 2 Safety Activities; Subfactor 3 Construction Schedule; and Subfactor 4 Quality Control

Government acknowledges that the technical proposal will involve discussion of some of the same projects/contracts discussed in the Past Performance volume. While Past Performance examines how an offeror performed in the past, so as to determine the probability of success on future projects, this subfactor examines the offeror’s experience with complex multidiscipline project management and execution and how the offeror demonstrates an understanding of the contract’s requirements taking this experience into consideration. The Government intends to use Exhibit A Part 1 information in the evaluation of experience for Subfactor 1. A reiteration of the information provided in Exhibit A is neither required nor desired. Offeror should reference this information by providing a short summation of their relevant experience to meet the submission requirements of this subfactor.

Sub-factor 1 Experience and Capability. Demonstrate offeror’s technical experience and capability to perform a project of this magnitude and complexity. Discuss and provide experience of key construction personnel including, but not limited to, Project Manager, Site Superintendent(s), Quality Assurance Manager (on site), and Site Safety Manager. Discuss any previous projects that are similar to this project in terms of scope, size and complexity. If no experience so state and indicate in detail how you plan to overcome this lack of experience. The onus is solely on the offeror to indicate in detail how the offeror plans to overcome this lack of experience. (Resumes or experience cut sheets are limited to 2 pages each and are not part of the page count.) In the event the intended person is not part of the offeror’s organization at the time the proposal is submitted then a completed Exhibit B, “Subcontractor/Team/Key Personnel Information and Consent Form” is also required or the information will not be considered.

Sub-factor 2 Safety Activities. The proposal narrative concerning proposed safety program, includes an adequate discussion of:

Safety training and documentation

Familiarity with, and/or plans to adhere to, OSHA standards, USACE EM 385-1-1 (Safety Manual) and standard State OSHA safety requirements, if applicable. (Note: The proposed Safety Plan (if provided) will not be evaluated).

Steps taken to promote safety during construction during the past three (3) years.

Sub-factor 3: Construction Schedule and commissioning approach/timeline is obtained for the purposes of evaluating an offerors understanding of the requirements of the schedule and commissioning.

The Schedule itself is not subject to page limits; however any provided narrative to the schedule submission is limited to 5 pages, excluding tabs and indexes.

Provide Construction Schedules using a critical path a (Critical Path Method (CPM)) scheduling approach considering a Notice to Proceed date of June 1, 2018 for the schedule. The Construction Schedule is an integrated and networked multi-layered schedule of program/project tasks. It identifies project events, accomplishment, and criteria and the expected dates of each. These dates are based on the calendar dates provided as the starting point and the logical flow of dates provided by calculating the addition of duration of all tasks using typical schedule networking tools. Each major task will be directly traceable to the requirements of the project. The NTP date for the schedule is for the purpose of evaluation only.

Sub-factor 4: Quality Control. The proposal narrative demonstrates that the quality control staff, with lines of authority, is adequate to meet the contract’s requirements. The proposed Quality Control answers should provide a detailed explanation of how quality issues are dealt with on various types of construction projects and as a minimum, meetings, inspections, submittal reviews, correction of non-compliant work and how you intend to ensure non-reoccurrence and reporting of quality problems to Government officials. (Note: A Quality Control Plan is not required with this proposal).

VOLUME 2, PART 2 OFFEROR PAST/PRESENT PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

Volume 2 Part 2 is obtained for the purpose of evaluating Past/Present Performance. Past/Present Performance includes current/on-going performance that is complete to 70% or greater. Volume 2 includes the offeror’s Performance Relevancy Questionnaire, Exhibit A Parts 1 and 2; and any discussion and or additional information, awards, letters, etc. concerning past/present performance the offeror includes. Offerors are cautioned to complete all the questions on the Exhibit A Parts 1 and Part 2. Detailed instructions are included in Exhibit A.

Offerors shall use the Reference Package, Exhibit C, to obtain references from past and present clients.

Past/Present Performance, which includes current on-going (present) performance that is complete to 70% or greater will be evaluated using the evaluation criteria set forth in Section 00 21 00 of the solicitation. If the offeror represents the combining of two or more companies, joint venture or formal teaming agreement, for the purpose of this RFP, each company shall complete Exhibit As and obtain Exhibit C references. The Government may contact these references and may consider this information as well as information obtained from any other sources when evaluating the offeror's past/present performance.

Offerors shall discuss their performance using the Performance Relevancy Questionnaire format, Exhibit A, Part 1.

Prepare not more than (3-5) of these documents. Contractors should select their projects carefully because the quality of the contractor’s relevant performance is more important than the quantity of projects submitted.

Use the Exhibit A format to provide information that demonstrates a history of performance on contracts that are similar in scope, complexity, and cost magnitude to this project’s plans and specifications. Explain what aspects of the contract you find relevant to the proposed effort and identify how each contract ranks, in terms of relevancy, with respect to the other contracts addressed in proposal.

Offerors should consider the currency and relevancy of the past/present performance information to be considered, the performance must have been completed during the past five (5) years. The period begins five

(5) years prior to the solicitation release date and includes current performance. Performance that is more current may have greater impact than older performance.

In determining relevancy to the solicitation requirement, offerors should consider the similarity of construction methods employed, size, scope, cost magnitude, location, client type (e.g. federal government) and complexity of work performed to those required for the proposed effort. Location should also be considered.

Offerors are encouraged to include with their proposal information any problems encountered on the identified contracts and the offeror's correction actions.

Offerors lacking relevant present/past performance experience may submit information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement if such information is relevant to this acquisition. Such information shall, as a minimum, include:

Name(s) of Predecessor Company/Subcontractor and/or Key Personnel Complete Address Telephone, Fax Number and email address Brief synopsis of the experience- A resume may be submitted for "Key Personnel" Describe relevancy to this project

Provide three (3) references, for each Predecessor Company, Subcontractor or Key Personnel. Clearly identify the contractor/individual for whom the reference information concerns.

Past Performance References – REQUIRED – A “Final” Performance Evaluation (Construction) (also referred to as CCASS Evaluation) issued for a project may be included in lieu of sending out reference package for the project. OR Offerors shall prepare and submit to prior client(s) of all the projects listed on your Exhibit A submission a Reference Package (Exhibit C) (Detailed instructions are included in Exhibit C Package). This includes correspondence explaining the requirement to obtain an independent evaluation of prior contract performance, and the Past Performance Questionnaire for use in evaluating Past Performance. Inform references that completed Performance Questionnaire should be returned to the Contracting Officer via email at:

wanda.d.yarbor.mil@mail.mil to arrive not later than the closing date for receipt of proposals. Offeror must not review the Past Performance Questionnaire prior to submission. They are to be submitted by the client/evaluator directly to the Contracting Officer. Offeror's should follow-up and encourage references to get the questionnaires to the Contracting Officer in a timely manner.

In assessing past performance, the Government may also consider the past/present performance of the offeror’s key personnel, Project Manager, Quality Control Manager and Site Superintendent, as it relates to previous projects. In the event the intended key personnel for this solicitation’s project do not have demonstrated past performance in the project(s) submitted in the Exhibit As, the Government reserves to obtain reference information additional information is required.

Each key person without prior past performance history demonstrated on the submitted Exhibit A shall provide a summary of experience or a resume. In the event the intended person is not part of the offeror’s organization at the time the proposal is submitted then a completed Exhibit B, “Subcontractor/Team/Key Personnel Information and Consent Form” or Letter of Intent, is also required or the information will not be considered. The Government may seek additional references and reserves the right to use the information provided to obtain additional references.

Offerors are advised that the Government may use all data provided by the offeror in this volume and data obtained from any other sources, to include, but not limited to, data independently obtained from other Government or commercial sources; from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases;
