1.1 The intent of this solicitation is to select one contractor for the abandonment of High Temperature Hot Water Line C and the installation of new boilers and supporting infrastructure for the Hospital, Visitor’s Quarters, AFMC Headquarters, and Tenant Unit Facilities. 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 determines conforms to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable 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 and management capabilities necessary for successful completion of the project. Requirements stated in this RFP are minimums.

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 the Past Performance, Technical Plan (Management Plan and Risk Management Plan) factors, and the Small Business Participation Plan along with Price and Pro Forma information. 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 six (6) paper copies and one electronic copy on CD*. Volume II shall be submitted in original and 1 CD* only and shall be placed in a separate envelope. Failure to place the required submission information under the appropriate tab may result in a lower rating if the evaluators cannot readily find the appropriate information.

2.4 The target ceiling for contract award is $13,000,000 based on funds made available for this project. The Government cannot guarantee that additional funds can be made available for award. Offerors are under no obligation to approach this ceiling.

*NOTE: Provide the complete Volume I proposal submittal including text, renderings, drawings, photographs, etc.

on CD (one copy). Provide the complete Volume II proposal submittal on CD (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 the paper copy is consistent with the 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/quality proposals 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 Best Value Tradeoff Process.

3.2 The evaluation process essentially consists of four parts: proposal compliance review and responsibility determination, technical/quality evaluation, price evaluation, and cost/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. Some factors will be rated using an adjectival-based system. Past Performance will be rated based on recency/relevancy and confidence.

3.2.3 Price Evaluation: The SSEB and Contracting Officer/SSA will evaluate price proposals independent of the technical/quality evaluation. The SSEB will not have access to price information until completion of the technical/quality 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 (SSA) 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 and subfactors below, listed in relative order of importance. All evaluation factors, other than cost or price, when combined are considered approximately equal to cost or 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, if deemed to be within the best interest of the Government.

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.

Performance Confidence Assessments

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.

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.

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.

Management Plan & Risk Management Plan Assessment 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.

5.0 Volume I – Factor I – Past Performance

5.1 Submission Requirements:

Provide descriptions of up to three (3) projects substantially complete or completed by the prime contractor within the last 5 years from the solicitation issue date which are similar to this project in size and scope.

Projects considered to be substantially complete are projects that are at least 95% complete.

Projects considered similar to this project include projects with both new construction and renovation in areas utilizing gas-fired boilers with direct digital control, piping, metering, and correction to existing facilities heating systems. The construction and/or renovation must include the installation and removal of boilers.

Projects considered similar in size to the solicited project are projects with a single boiler size of at least 10,000 MBTU (Note: Multiple Boilers may NOT be combined to meet the similar in size requirement).

The prime contractor must have self-performed at least 15% of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with its own employees to be considered similar.

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.

Please note in the proposal if projects submitted have the following additional features. Additional consideration may be given if projects submitted have the following features: Previous experience with:

USACE or Air Force Phased projects A single project with multiple sites Projects that include SCIF or ICD 705 Compliant spaces

Provide two references for all of the projects identified in paragraph 5.1. Reference information must include project name, location, owner's name, point of contact, telephone number, and email address. Also include any ratings, letters, awards, etc. which support past performance on these projects. A sample Past Performance Questionnaire is attached for your convenience. If used, the Past Performance Questionnaire 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 DUNS number with the Joint Ventures’ proposal. Projects performed by other contractors 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 size and scope 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 completed for the USACE or Air Force, Phased projects, A single project with multiple sites, Projects that include SCIF, or ICD 705 Compliant spaces.

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. 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 Government may also use other tools such as CPARS, FAPPIS, Unique Entity Identifier (Dun & Bradstreet), or any other relevant information to assist in its evaluation of an offeror’s past performance.

6.0 Volume I – Factor II – Subfactor A - Management Plan

6.1 Submission Requirements:

Provide a management plan for the project that describes the following:

1. How your labor, resources, subcontractors and material suppliers will be coordinated and used to ensure successful completion of the project at all sites within the period of performance.

2. How you will manage, supervise and coordinate the subcontractors' work and who in the organization will be responsible for this management and coordination.

3. Discuss the qualifications of your on-site team (e.g., degrees, registrations, and number of years of experience). Resumes are not required, but may be submitted to demonstrate team member qualifications.

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

There is a page limit of ten (10) single-sided pages (front and back will count as two pages) for the Management Plan factor (excluding the Organizational Chart). The narrative should use a minimum font size of eleven (11). Page size shall be 8.5”x11” with a minimum margin of one-half inch on all sides. The Organizational Chart can be submitted on one 11”x17” page or one 8.5”x11” page. Format restrictions will be strictly adhered to and enforced. Any information that exceeds this page limit will not be evaluated.

6.2 Evaluation Criteria:

Comprehensive plans that demonstrate a clear understanding of the work and an ability to coordinate resources to ensure successful pursuit of the work will be regarded as having met the RFP requirements.

Plans that do not demonstrate a clear understanding of the work or that do not demonstrate a capability to coordinate resources will be regarded as having not met the RFP requirements. Plans will be evaluated based on the level of involvement the contractor will have in the management, oversight, control, and coordination of the work performed by subcontractors. The SSEB will evaluate the clarity, adequacy, capabilities and strengths of the offeror’s narrative describing their ability to manage a successful project.

An organizational chart that clearly depicts a highly qualified on-site team supported by appropriate resources off-site and that clearly defines responsibilities will be regarded as having met the RFP requirements. Charts that are confusing, cluttered with duplicative entries, or that do not clearly define responsibilities will be regarded as having not met the RFP requirements.
