Section 00 22 00 - Supplementary Instructions

SUBMITTAL AND EVALUATION INFO

PROCEDURES FOR SUBMITTAL OF OFFERS AND PROPOSAL EVALUATION CRITERIA

1. Overview.

1.1 The intent of this solicitation is to select one contractor for Construction of an Indoor Small Arms Range of approximately 27,000 square feet to be a live fire range facility at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Air Reserve Station.

The Government will evaluate the proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein, and award a firm fixed price contract to the responsible offeror, whose proposal conforms with all the terms and conditions of the solicitation and whose proposal is determined to represent the overall best value to the Government, all factors considered.

1.2 The basis of award is the Tradeoff Process. The Contracting Officer will award a firm fixed price contract to the responsible offeror whom the Source Selection Authority (SSA) determines conforms to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable in price, and offers the best overall value to the Government, all factors considered. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offers.

2. Submittal of offers.

2.1 Offerors submitting proposals for this project should limit submissions to data essential for evaluation of proposals so that a minimum of time and monies will have been expended in preparing information required herein.

However, in order to be effectively and equitably evaluated, the proposals must include information sufficiently detailed to clearly describe the offeror's past performance, technical approach and management capabilities necessary for successful completion of the project. Requirements stated in this Request for Proposal (RFP) are minimums. Innovative, creative or cost-saving proposals that meet or exceed the requirements are encouraged and will be rated accordingly.

2.2 Offerors shall submit their proposals to the US Army Corps of Engineers, 600 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Place, Room 821, Louisville, KY 40202-2267 no later than the time and date specified in Block 13 of Standard Form 1442.

2.3 Offerors are required to submit a proposal made up of Past Performance, Risk Management Plan, Small Business Participation Plan, and Price and Pro Forma. All proposal materials shall be submitted in binders with a table of contents and tabbed section dividers. The sections should parallel the submission requirements identified below. Volume I shall be submitted in original and five (5) paper copies and one electronic copy on CD/DVD*.

Volume II shall be submitted in original and one electronic copy on CD/DVD* only and shall be placed in a separate envelope. Failure to place the required submission information under the appropriate tab (factor) may result in a lower rating if the evaluators cannot readily find the appropriate information.

*NOTE: Provide the complete Volume I proposal submittal including text, renderings, drawings, photographs, etc on CD/DVD (one copy). Provide the complete Volume II proposal submittal on CD/DVD (one copy) with the final price breakout schedule if available electronically. The paper copy of the proposal shall be used for evaluation and will control any conflicts or discrepancies between the two media. Offeror is responsible for ensuring paper copy is consistent with electronic copy of the proposal.

3. Proposal Evaluation Process.

3.1. A Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) comprised of representatives of the Corps of Engineers, User/Customer, and other required personnel will evaluate the proposals. Offerors are advised that the technical evaluation and rating of proposals will be conducted in strict confidence. Technical proposals (i.e., the non-price evaluation factors) will be reviewed and rated without knowledge of the price offered. The number and identities of offerors are not revealed to anyone who is not involved in the evaluation and award process or to other offerors.

Proposals will be evaluated based on the factors described herein, and the basis of award is the Tradeoff Process.

3.2 The evaluation process essentially consists of four parts: proposal compliance review and responsibility determination, technical evaluation, price evaluation, and price/technical trade-off analysis.

3.2.1 Proposal Compliance Review: This is an initial review to ensure that all required forms and certifications are complete and that both a technical and price proposal were received.

3.2.2 Technical Evaluation: The SSEB will evaluate and rate the proposals against the RFP requirements. Past Performance will be rated based on confidence in performance, with the final confidence assessment rating based on the extent of recent, relevant experience and how well the offeror performed that experience. Risk Management Plan will be rated using an adjectival-based system (Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, Unacceptable).

Small Business Participation Plan will be rated on an “Acceptable/Unacceptable” basis.

3.2.3 Price Evaluation: The SSEB and Contracting Officer/SSA will evaluate price proposals independent of the technical evaluation. The SSEB will not have access to price information until completion of the technical evaluation.

3.2.4 Price/Technical Trade-off Analysis: After all above evaluations are complete, the Contracting Officer/SSA will compare the relative advantages and disadvantages of technical proposals and compare prices. The Source Selection Authority will then consider all factors to select the proposal offering the best value to the Government.

4. Proposal Information and Related Evaluation Factors.

4.1 Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the factors below, listed in relative order of importance. All non-price evaluation factors, when combined, are considered approximately equal to price. Offerors are reminded to include their best technical and price terms in their initial offer and not to automatically assume that they will have an opportunity to participate in discussions or be asked to submit a revised offer. The Government may make award of a conforming proposal without discussions, but reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer determines them to be necessary. NOTE: a proposal that has an “Unacceptable” rating for Factor II and/or III is unawardable.

NOTE: Factors are listed in descending order of importance.

4.2 Volume I – Factor I – Past Performance (Three-Ring Binder) 1st

4.3 Volume I- Factor II – Risk Management Plan (Three-Ring Binder) 2nd

4.4 Volume I- Factor III- Small Business Participation Plan 3rd Acceptable/Unacceptable

4.5 Volume II - Price and Pro Forma Information (Sealed Envelope)

Tab A Standard Form 1442 and Price Breakout Schedule Not Rated

Tab B Subcontracting Plan Not Rated

Tab C Joint Venture Agreements Not Rated

Tab D Evidence of Ability to Obtain Bonding and Not Rated Proof of Financial Ability

Tab E Pre-Award Information Not Rated

4.6 Ratings

Evaluators will apply the adjectival rating for the definition that most closely matches the evaluation.

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Rating Definition Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

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

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the 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.

Past Performance Confidence Assessments Rating Definition Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Risk Management Plan Ratings Adjectival Rating Definition

Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Acceptable

Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable.

Proposal is unawardable.

Small Business Participation Plan Ratings Adjectival Rating Definition Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the small business objectives.

4.7 Definitions

1. 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. See FAR 15.001.

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

3. Significant Strength. An aspect of an offerors’ proposal that has appreciable merit or appreciably exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be appreciably advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

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

FAR 15.001.

5. Significant Weakness. A flaw in the proposal that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001.

6. 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).

7. Clarification. Limited exchanges between the Government and offerors that may occur when award without discussions is contemplated. See FAR 15.306(a)(1).

8. Adverse Past Performance. Past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating from sources where the information is from other than formal rating systems such as “PPIRS” or “FAPIIS.”

9. Bid/Proposal. The term bid and proposal are used interchangeably in industry. A “proposal” is defined as the firm’s plan and “bid” is defined as the proposed cost for fulfilling the conditions outlined in the Request for Proposal (RFP).

Projects considered similar in size to this project shall have a combined building square footage of at least 20,000 SF. The prime contractor must have self-performed at least 20% of the direct contract labor (including testing and layout personnel), exclusive of other general condition or field overhead personnel, material, equipment, or subcontractors to be considered similar. Additional consideration may be given for projects which include demonstrated experience with construction of federal projects or demonstrated experience with HVAC and/or bullet trap subcontractors. An IDIQ contract may be submitted only if a single task order could be considered similar to this project. Task orders may not be combined in order for the project to be considered similar. Formats for Project Details are included for your use. Use as many forms as necessary to meet the criteria. If you elect not to use the formats, all information identified on the formats is still required for evaluation of this item.

Provide two references for all of the experience identified in paragraph 5.1. Reference information should include project name, location, owner’s name, current point of contract, telephone number, and email address. Also include any ratings, letters, awards, etc. which support past performance on these projects.

Offerors may submit PPIRS/CPARS evaluations pertaining to their submitted projects and/or a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) for each. A sample PPQ is attached for your convenience. If used, the PPQ must be submitted by the offeror with the proposal submission and not sent directly to the agency from the reference.

NOTE: For purposes of evaluating past performance, the Prime Contractor is defined as the contractor identified in Block 14 of the Standard Form 1442. If more than one contractor is listed in Block 14, then a signed joint venture must be submitted with the proposal and the joint venture shall be registered as such in the System for Award Management (SAM). However, each party of the Joint Venture must submit their own Unique Entity Identifier number with the JV proposal. Projects performed by contractors other than the offeror, such as teaming partners or subcontractors, will not be evaluated for past performance, unless those other contractors are part of a joint venture offeror as demonstrated by a signed joint venture agreement. If the Offeror represents the combining of two or more companies as a joint venture for the purpose of this RFP, each company in the joint venture may submit project examples, but the total submitted by the joint venture will not exceed three (3).

5.2. Evaluation Criteria:

The SSEB will evaluate the relevancy of recent past performance identified in the proposal.

Documentation of successful completion of projects similar in scope and size to this project will be considered relevant to the similar characteristics of the RFP. Conversely, proposals that do not show documentation of successful completion of projects similar in size and scope will be considered less relevant to the similar characteristics of the RFP. Additional consideration may be given for projects which include demonstrated experience with construction of federal projects or demonstrated experience with HVAC and/or bullet trap subcontractors.

In addition to the past performance information submitted in the proposal, the Government will, at a minimum, review past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including CPARS. Additionally, the Government may review any other sources of information for past performance, including for projects other than those submitted by the offeror. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through FAPIIS, Dun & Bradstreet, etc. or any other relevant information to assist in its evaluation of an offeror’s past performance.

The Government reserves the right to check any or all cited references to verify supplied information and to assess owner satisfaction. The Government also reserves the right to not contact the provided references.

The SSEB will assign a confidence rating to each offeror based on the degree of successful performance of all recent and relevant projects identified in the proposal in response to paragraph 5.1, as well as on other relevant past performance information not submitted by the offeror, as discussed above.

6.0 Volume I – Factor II – Risk Management Plan

6.1 Submission Requirements:

Provide a Risk Management Plan narrative for the project that describes how your labor, resources, subcontractors and material suppliers will be managed, supervised and coordinated to reduce risk and ensure successful completion of the project. Minimally, the Risk Management Plan shall address the following information:

• Identify and discuss significant areas of project-specific risks and provide your plan for mitigating risk during contract performance.

• Provide your commissioning firm/specialist certifications and qualifications, years of experience, and information demonstrating experience with two projects of complexity similar to this project. Minimum qualifications/requirements for the Commisioning Specialist (CxS) are listed in Specification section 01 46 00.00 06. Include an outline of systems to be commissioned, commissioning services or activities to be performed, and documents to be provided for this project, and a plan to mitigate risk associated with commissioning activities. NOTE: The listed commissioning firm/specialist that is submitted for evaluation under this Factor must be used on the project. No deviations will be permitted after award unless approved in writing by the Contracting Officer.

• Describe your process for managing, coordinating and tracking changes that arise during the construction phase(s) and your plan to mitigate risks related to change management.

• Discuss the qualifications of your on-site team (e.g., degrees, registrations, number of years of experience, etc.). On-site team shall include at a minimum a Superintendent, CQC System Manager, and Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO). Minimum qualifications/requirements for the on-site team are listed in Specification section 01 35

26.00 06 and 01 45 04.10 06. NOTE: The on-site team discussed in the Risk Management Plan shall be used on the contract. No personnel substitutions or deviations from the level of qualifications proposed will be permitted after award unless approved in writing by the Contracting Officer. Proposed personnel substitutions will be evaluated for compliance with minimum qualifications/requirements as stated in Specification sections 01 35 26.00 06 and 01 45 04.10 06.

• Provide an organizational chart for this project showing home office support, on-site management and the responsible chain of command. The organizational chart must clearly delineate on-site from off-site personnel. Joint venture offerors must show the respective areas of responsibility for each partner. On-site Superintendent, Quality Control and Safety shall be included in the chart.

NOTE: There is a limit of ten (10) single-sided (front and back will count as two pages), 8.5” x 11” pages, for the Risk Management Plan (including organizational chart) using a minimum font size of 11 and a minimum margin size of one-half inch on all sides. Offerors may substitute one (1) page size of 11” x 17” for the Organizational Chart, however, this will count as two (2) pages towards the overall page limit of ten (10). Format restrictions will be strictly adhered to and enforced. Any information beyond this page limit will not be evaluated.

6.2 Evaluation Criteria:

The offeror’s Risk Management Plan will be evaluated based on the level of understanding of the specific work for this project and the involvement the contractor will have in the management, oversight, control, and coordination of the work performed during construction of the project. Plans will also be evaluated based on commissioning firm/specialist’s qualifications including credentials, experience, an understanding of the project’s commissioning requirements and plans to reduce risk of commissioning issues. (NOTE: The listed commissioning firm/specialist that is submitted for evaluation under this Factor must be used on the project. No deviations will be permitted after award unless approved in writing by the Contracting Officer.) Plans will also be evaluated based on the offeror’s level of understanding of project risks and the approach for minimizing these risks. The SSEB will evaluate the clarity, adequacy, capabilities and strengths of the offeror’s organizational chart for managing a successful project. Plans that demonstrate a clear understanding of the specific project requirements and provide a thorough approach for successfully reducing risk and managing this project to completion may receive additional consideration by the SSEB.

7.0 Volume I – Factor III – Small Business Participation Plan

7.1 Submission Requirements

ALL OFFERORS, INCLUDING SMALL BUSINESS CONCERNS, ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A

SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION PLAN. Offerors shall propose the level of participation of small businesses (as a small business prime and/or small business subcontractors) in the performance of the acquisition relative to the objectives/goals set forth in the evaluation of this area. The Small Business Participation Plan shall be based on the Offeror’s best effort and be required to address each of the following areas individually:

• The extent in which the small business programs listed in FAR 19 (small business, small disadvantaged business, woman-owned small business, HubZone, service disabled veteran owned small business, etc.) are specifically identified in the Small Business Participation Plan;

• The extent of participation of such firms in terms of the value of the total acquisition in %’s for the base year and for each individual option year, if applicable; the extent of commitment to use such firms (for example, enforceable commitments, i.e. teaming agreements signed, are to be considered more heavily than non-enforceable ones);

• The complexity and variety of the work small firms are to perform on this acquisition;

• The realism of the Small Business Participation Plan, i.e. aggressive goals.

The Small Business Participation Plan shall be organized as follows:

(1) Prime Contractor type of business (check all that apply):

( ) Large ( ) Small (also check type of small business) ( ) Small Non-Disadvantaged Business ( ) Small Disadvantaged Business ( ) Woman-Owned Small Business ( ) HUBZone Small Business ( ) Veteran Owned Small Business ( ) Service Disabled, Veteran Owned Small Business

(2) Percentage of your participation as a prime contractor : __________________ %

NOTE: Small business primes’ self-performance counts as Small Business Participation, and small business primes may achieve small business participation goals through their own performance/participation as a prime and/or through subcontracting to other small businesses.

(3) Percentage of total contract value of subcontracts planned for:

% of Total Contract Value

Large % Total Small % Small Non-Disadvantaged % Small Disadvantaged % Small Woman Owned % Small HUB Zone % Small Veteran Owned % Small Service Disabled Veteran Owned %

Each percentage above shall be accompanied by detailed supporting documentation regarding individual commitments.

NOTE: The sum of the percentages of Small Non-Disadvantaged and Small Disadvantaged should equal the entries for the Total Small; however, the sum of all of the percentages need not equal 100% since the prime is not included and individual subcontractors may be counted towards more than one category.

(4) List principal supplies/services (be specific) to be subcontracted to:

Name of

Company Type of

Service/Supply Large Small Non-Disadvantaged Small Disadvantaged Small Woman Owned Small HUB Zone Small Veteran Owned Small Service Disabled Veteran Owned

(5) Prior Performance Information: Provide any information substantiating the Offeror’s track record of utilizing small business on past contracts.

(6) For Large and Small Businesses provide descriptive information for all small business categories. Any information concerning long-term relationships with Small Business subcontractors, such as mentor-protégé relationships, should be provided.

(7) Extent of Commitment: Provide documentation regarding enforceable commitments to utilize any small business category as defined in FAR Part 19 as subcontractors.

NOTE for Other Than U.S. Small Businesses ONLY: Each Large Business Offeror shall also provide a SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN that contains all of the elements required by FAR Clause 52.219-9. The Small Business Subcontracting Plan is a separate requirement from the Small Business Participation Plan and shall be submitted separately from the Small Business Participation Plan information required above which applies to both Large and Small Businesses. The Subcontracting Plan is not a requirement for evaluation in source selection but is rather a requirement for award to a Large Business. Subcontracting Plans shall reflect and be consistent with the commitments offered in the Small Business Participation Plan. The approved Small Business Subcontracting Plan will be incorporated into any resultant contract(s).

7.2. Evaluation Criteria:

ALL OFFERORS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION PLAN. The Small Business Participation Plan will be evaluated on the Offeror’s best efforts and the level of small business commitment that is being demonstrated for the proposed acquisition and the prior level of commitment to utilizing small businesses in performance of prior contracts. The Small Business Participation Plan must meet the minimum Total Small Business Participation goal of 20% of the total contract value (through collective small business participation from any type of small business or sub-category small business).

Pursuant to DFARS PGI 215.304(c) the following elements will be considered in evaluating an Offeror’s Participation Plan:

• The extent to which such firms, as defined in FAR Part 19, are specifically identified in proposals;

• The extent of commitment to use such firms (enforceable commitments will be weighted more heavily than non-enforceable ones);

• The complexity and variety of the work such firms are to perform;

• The realism of the proposal;

• Past performance of Offerors in complying with the requirements of the Subcontracting Plan Goals for such firms and monetary targets for participation;

• The extent of participation of such firms in terms of the proposed subcontracted value; and

• The extent to which the Offeror provides detailed explanations/documentation supporting the proposed participations percentages, or lack thereof. The Department of Defense (DOD) has established small business goals as an assistance to assure small business receives a fair proportion of DOD awards.
