EVALUATION CRITERIA

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 Multi-Use Helicopter Training Facility at Ft. Campbell, KY. 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 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. Mark your proposal submission to the attention of Miriaha Sigmon. NOTE: The Louisville District is in the Eastern Time Zone.

NOTE: If hand delivering a proposal you will need to enter on the North side of the building and you must wear a mask in the building at all times.

2.3 Offerors are required to submit a proposal made up of Past Performance, 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 the paper copy is consistent with the electronic copy of the proposal.

2.4 The target ceiling for contract award is $4,600,000.00 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.

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. Management Plan will be rated using an adjectival-based system (Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, Unacceptable).

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 –Management Plan (Three-Ring Binder) 2nd

4.4 Volume I – Factor III – Small Business Participation Plan 3rd

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

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.

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

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

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 on any evaluation.

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).

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 five (5) years (from the solicitation issue date) which are similar to this project in size and scope. Projects completed more than five (5) years before the solicitation issue date may be considered for evaluation purposes but may lessen the overall relevancy rating for that project. Projects are considered substantially complete if enough work has been performed such that it demonstrates the ability to complete all phases of the project. 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 to this requirement shall be a minimum of 15,000 square feet of vertical construction, with at least five (5) acres of site work. This square footage may be a combination of multiple buildings provided that all work was completed under a single contract action.

5.1.3 Projects considered similar in scope to this requirement shall be new construction of range complexes that include a range control tower/control building and associated site work.

NOTE: Renovation projects will NOT be considered similar in size or scope to this requirement.

5.1.4 The prime contractor must have self-performed at least 15% 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.

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

a) Experience with construction of multi-story steel framed structures with three or more floors.

b) Experience with construction of mechanically-stabilized earth (MSE) walls, which includes configuration of precast elements, fasteners, connections, soil reinforcements, joint fillers, geotextile filter, and other necessary components.

5.1.6 The following information shall be provided for each project:

a) Project Title, Contract Number, and Location.

b) Current percentage of construction complete and when it was or will be completed. If project is not yet complete, provide a description of work remaining to be completed.

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

d) Size of the project; differentiate square footage of new construction versus renovation (if the project includes both).

e) Role of firm; provide a description of type of work performed and percentage of work self-performed.

f) Dollar value of the project.

g) Whether the project was design/build or design/bid/build.

h) 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).

5.1.7 For this factor, also include any ratings, letters, awards, etc. which 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 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, or the offeror listed in Block 14 is a joint venture (JV), then a signed joint venture agreement must be submitted with the proposal and the offeror shall be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) as a legal entity separate from the individual joint venture members. However, each party of the Joint Venture must submit their own Unique Entity Identifier number with the JV proposal. 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 five (5).

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 1), 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.

In addition to the information submitted by the offeror, the Government may review any other sources of relevant information for evaluating past performance, including similar 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 identified in the offeror’s proposal. 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.

5.2.3 The SSEB will assign a final, overall Performance Confidence rating, using the ratings in the Performance

Confidence Assessment (Table 2) above. 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 past performance confidence assessment rating is based on the offeror’s overall record of recency, relevancy, and quality of performance.

The SSEB will review the information submitted for the design firm and will consider this information when assigning an overall confidence rating. The design firm will not receive its own confidence rating.

NOTE: The Government may discuss all past performance information for the design firm with the prime contractor.

6. Volume I – Factor II: Management Plan

6.1 Submission Requirements:

6.1.1 Provide a 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 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.

□ Discuss and provide your plan for managing subcontractors during contract performance.

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 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.

6.1.2 Evaluation Criteria:

The offeror’s 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 the offeror’s level of understanding of project risks and the approach for minimizing these risks.

6.1.3 The SSEB will evaluate the clarity, adequacy, capabilities and strengths of the offeror’s organizational chart for managing a successful project.

The offeror’s organizational chart will be evaluated based on the clarity, adequacy, and understanding of the organizational controls (i.e. chain of command) required for managing a successful project. The offeror’s rating will be assigned using the ratings in the Management Plan Ratings (Table 3) above.

7.0 Volume I – Factor III – Small Business Participation Plan

NOTE: Factor III will be rated using the Acceptable/Unacceptable ratings shown in the Small Business Participation Ratings Table, above

7.1 Submission Requirements

ALL OFFERORS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION

PLAN. 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:

(small business, small disadvantaged business, woman-owned small business, HubZone, service disabledveteran 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; 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):

(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

(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 (Dev). 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).
