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

(Volume I) will be reviewed and rated without knowledge of the price offered. The number and identities of offerors are not revealed to anyone 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 a Best Value

Trade-Off, as stated above.

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

3.2.1 Proposal Compliance/Responsibility Review: This is an initial review to ensure that all required forms and certifications are complete, that both a technical and price proposal were received, and that the offeror is financially capable of sustaining performance under the contract and is able to obtain the required level of performance and payment bonds from an acceptable surety.

See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 Page 3

3.2.2 Technical Evaluation: The SSEB will evaluate and rate the Volume I proposals against the RFP requirements. Factor I – Past Performance will be rated using Tables 1 and 2, below. The rating will be based on overall confidence in performance, with the final confidence assessment rating based on the extent of recent, relevant past experience and the quality of the offeror’s performance. Factor II – Narrative of Management Plan will be rated using Tables 3 and 4, below. The SSEB will assign an adjectival combined technical/risk rating to the Technical Factors and corresponding Sub-factors (if any). The combined technical/risk rating includes consideration of risk, as defined in Table 4, in conjunction with the strengths, weaknesses, significant weakness, uncertainties, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings. Factor III – Small Business Participation Plan will be rated using Table 5, below, 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 (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 below, listed in relative order of importance. All evaluation factors, other than price, when combined are considered approximately equal to price. The

Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

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

FAR 15.001.

See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 Page 7

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 on any evaluation.

5. Volume I – Factor I: Past Performance

5.1 Submission Requirements:

5.1.1 Provide descriptions of up to three (3) projects substantially complete or completed by the Prime

Contractor within the last seven (7) years (from the solicitation issue date) that are similar to this project in size and scope. Projects completed more than seven (7) years before the solicitation issue date may be considered for evaluation purposes; however, such projects will not be considered recent and therefore will be considered less relevant. Projects are considered substantially complete if enough work has been performed such that it demonstrates the ability to successfully complete all phases of the project. An

Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (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.

5.1.2 Projects considered similar in size are new construction projects of 50,000 square feet or greater of vertical construction.

5.1.3 Projects considered similar in scope to this project are new construction of military barracks, dormitories, or senior living facilities, which consist of three or more stories.

5.1.4 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.

5.1.5 Additional consideration may be given for projects that contain the following features:

a) New Construction Project for USACE or NAVFAC

5.1.6 The following information shall be provided for each project:

a) Project Title, Location, and Contract Number/Unique Identifier

b) Current percentage of construction complete and the date it was or will be complete

a. For projects that are not yet complete, provide description of work remaining to be completed.

c) Scope of the project, to include purpose/use of facility

See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 Page 8

d) Size of the project in square feet, differentiating the square footage of new construction versus renovation if the project includes both

e) Type and percentage of work that was self-performed

f) Dollar Value of the project

g) Customer Primary Point of Contact and alternate POC (name, relationship to project, agency/firm affiliation, city, state, current and correct phone number, and current and correct email address)

h) Whether the project was for NAVFAC or USACE

i) Whether the project demonstrated progressive collapse safety features

5.1.7 For this factor, also include any ratings, letters, awards, etc. that support past performance on these projects. Any of this information that is submitted shall clearly identify to which of the submitted projects it pertains. 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. For each project, the offeror may provide information on problems encountered on the identified contracts and the offeror’s respective corrective action.

NOTE: For purposes of evaluating past performance, the Prime Contractor is defined as the contractor identified in Block 14 of the Standard Form 1442. Projects performed by contractors other than the offeror, including, but not limited to, teaming partners, subcontractors, sister or parent companies, and affiliates 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 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 (JV) must submit their own Unique Entity Identifier Number (formerly known as DUNS) with the JV proposal. If the offeror represents the combining of two or more companies as a JV for the purpose of this RFP, each company in the JV may submit project examples, but the total submitted by the JV will not exceed three (3).

5.2 Evaluation Criteria:

5.2.1 The SSEB will first evaluate the relevancy of recent past performance identified in the proposal in response to paragraph 5.1 above. By using the criteria identified above, the SSEB will determine how relevant a past project is when compared to the recency, scope, size, and magnitude of effort and complexities of the solicited project. A relevancy rating will be assigned to each submitted project using the Past Performance

Relevancy Ratings table above.

5.2.2 The SSEB will next review how well the offeror performed on those projects. 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. In addition to the information submitted by the offeror, the Government reserves the right to review any other sources of relevant information for evaluating past performance, including projects other than those submitted by the offeror. The Government will, at a minimum, review past performance information retrieved through the

Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved from 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.

See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 Page 9

5.2.3 The SSEB will review all past performance information collected and determine the quality of the offeror’s performance, general trends, and usefulness of the information and incorporate this information into the performance confidence assessment. The SSEB will assign a final, overall Performance Confidence rating, using the ratings in the Performance Confidence Assessment table above, based on the SSEB’s assessment of (1) the degree of the offeror’s recent, relevant experience, and (2) how well the offeror performed that experience.

6. Volume I – Factor II: Narrative of Management Plan

6.1 Submission Requirements:

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

- Describe the duties of the key project delivery staff (PM, Superintendent, CQCSM, SSHO) and how this team will work together to deliver the project. Describe how you intend to manage the quality control requirements with personnel that have dual responsibilities.

- Identify the Commissioning Firm and/or Specialist(s) and their qualifications, including at least the following: years of experience in commissioning, types of projects commissioned, and certifications. Offerors are advised that any subcontractor submitted for review shall be utilized on the contract for the work required by the evaluation. Evaluation and acceptance of a subcontractor does not relieve any of the conditions required by the plans and specification. If a subcontractor is unable to perform the work or a replacement is needed it shall be submitted to the Contracting

Officer for their approval prior to any work being completed.

- Describe, in a narrative format, the commissioning process and critical milestones of the commissioning process and how they relate to critical construction milestones. Describe, in narrative format, the key submittals for commissioning process. Describe, by role and qualifications, who will be in lead authority for the contractor (in-house or first tier sub) during the commissioning process. Lay out their roles and authority over all involved subcontractors.

- Describe the anticipated process, commissioning firm/specialist, and sub-contractor roles during the warranty period, particularly for HVAC trend log review, as specified in Spec 01 91 00 15

Total Building Commissioning Spec.

NOTE: There is a page limit of four (4) single sided, 8.5” x 11” pages, using a minimum font size of 11 and a minimum margin of one-half inch on all sides, for the narrative portion of this Factor.

6.2 Evaluation Criteria:

Narratives will be evaluated based on the level of understanding of the work and the involvement the contractor will have in the management, oversight, control, and coordination of the work performed during construction of the project. Narratives that demonstrate a clear understanding of the project requirements and provide a thorough approach for successfully managing the solicited project and/or mitigating project specific risk items, may be rated more favorably by the SSEB.

See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 Page 10

7. Volume I – Factor III: Small Business Participation Plan

7.1 Submission Requirements

ALL OFFERORS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION PLAN.

The extent to 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 percentages (%) for the base and all optional work under this contract; 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 practicality of the Small Business Participation Plan, i.e., whether it contains aggressive goals.

7.2 The Small Business Participation Plan shall be organized as follows:

See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 Page 11

(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.

Name of

Company

Type of

Service/Supply

Large

Small Non-Disadvantaged

Small Disadvantaged

See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 Page 12

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

(8) Small Business Subcontracting Plan: Each Large Business Offeror shall provide a Small

Business Subcontracting Plan that contains all of the elements required by FAR Clause 52.219-

9. This Plan shall be submitted separately from the Small Business Participation information required above which applies to both Large and Small Businesses. The Subcontracting Plan is not a requirement for evaluation in source selection but rather a requirement for award to a

Large Business. The approved Small Business Subcontracting Plan will be incorporated into any resultant contract(s). Any subcontractors listed as a part of this Small Business

Participation Plan must also be listed in the Small Business Subcontracting Plan.

7.3 Evaluation Criteria:

ALL OFFERORS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION PLAN.

In order to be considered acceptable, the Small Business Participation Plan must be fully filled out in reasonable detail to demonstrate that the proposal meets the minimum total small business participation goal and to indicate an adequate approach and understanding of the small business objectives. The minimum total small business participation goal is at least twenty percent (20%) of the total contract value resulting from this solicitation. This may be demonstrated through collective small business participation for the solicited project from any type of small business or sub-category small business.
