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. 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 (Volume I) 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.

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 – Management Plan will be rated using Table 3 below. Factor III – Small Business Participation Plan will be rated using Table 4 below.

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 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 Federal Acquisition Regulation (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.

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

5. Volume I – Factor I: Past Performance

5.1 Submission Requirements:

5.1.1 Provide descriptions of up to three (3) projects completed by the Prime Contractor within the last five (5) years (from the solicitation issue date) that are similar to this project in size and scope. Projects completed more than five (5) years before the solicitation issue date may be submitted by offerors and considered by the SSEB for evaluation purposes but the overall relevancy rating for such projects may be reduced depending on how much older the project is beyond the five (5) year timeframe. Projects are considered substantially complete if all commissioning activities for the project have been completed.

NOTE: 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.

5.1.2 Projects considered similar in size will be a minimum of 20,000 square feet of comprehensive renovation or new construction inclusive of hangar bay and administrative areas combined.

5.1.3 Projects considered similar in scope to this project will be comprehensive renovation or new construction of aircraft hangars with administrative spaces. To be considered similar, projects shall include replacement or construction and testing of a High-Expansion Foam fire suppression systems; renovation or construction of administrative spaces including function layout and architectural finishes; replacement or construction of HVAC ductwork and equipment; and replacement or construction of electrical and telecommunication systems. A projects relevancy may be affected by how many of the above features of work are included in the project scope.

5.1.4 For a past project to be considered similar, the prime contractor must have self-performed at least 15 percent of the direct contract labor (including testing and layout personnel), exclusive of other general conditions or field overhead personnel, material, equipment, or subcontractors.

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

a) New construction or comprehensive renovation projects completed for USACE and/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 (as of the solicitation issue date) 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

d) Size of the project in square feet of vertical construction

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

f) Whether the project was completed for USACE and/or NAVFAC

g) Names and phone numbers for two references on the project (e.g., the customer, prime contractor).

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(s).

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 agreement 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 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 Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/Unique Entity Identifier numbers. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved from inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

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: Management Plan

6.1 Submission Requirements:

Provide a management plan that addresses the following requested information:

a) Describe what work will be subcontracted; your process for selecting subcontractors; who will select subcontractors; who provides oversight of subcontractors; how subcontractors are coordinated; and your process for correcting poor subcontractor performance.

b) Identify and describe your commissioning firm. Narratives shall include your commissioning firm’s certifications and qualifications; years of experience; and information demonstrating experience with two projects of complexity similar to this project. The narrative shall also include a summary of systems to be commissioned.

c) Identify and describe the single Qualified Fire Protection Engineer (QFPE) that will be in responsible for commissioning and will be in responsible charge of the design for all fire alarm, mass notification, fire sprinkler, fire pump, and foam systems per Section 21 90 00 Paragraph 1.4. Provide a list of the Qualified Fire Protection Engineer’s prior relevant experience that demonstrates capabilities necessary for this contract.

d) Identify and describe up to three (3) risks specific to this project and your plan to mitigate each risk.

NOTE: The Qualified Fire Protection Engineer (QFPE) that is submitted for evaluation under this factor shall be used on the contract. Deviations or substitutions will not be permitted after award unless approved in writing by the Contracting Officer, and shall not be approved by the Contracting Officer unless the replacement QFPE is considered equal or better in comparison to the QFPE submitted with the proposal.

NOTE: There is a page limit of eight (8) 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 Management Plan factor. Any information that exceeds these page limits will not be evaluated.

6.2 Evaluation Criteria:

Management Plans will be evaluated based on the contractor’s approach to coordination of subcontractors;

level of understanding of the contract commissioning requirements for HVAC; level of understanding of the contract requirements for design and commissioning of the fire protection systems; and level of understanding of risks inherit to this project. Narratives that demonstrate a clear understanding of the project requirements; provide a thorough approach for successfully managing the solicited project; and demonstrate highly qualified personnel may be rated more favorably by the SSEB.
