SECTION 00112
1. Overview.
1.1 The intent of this solicitation (W912QR21R0065) is to select one contractor for abandonment of High Temperature Hot Water Line D and the installation of new boilers and supporting infrastructure of 22 various Facilities. The basis of award is the Best Value Trade- Off process. The Government will evaluate the proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein. 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, 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.
1.2 This project is for the replacement of the existing Steam/High Temperature Hot Water
(HTHW) heating distribution system with a natural gas fired heating system. Project provides new building/mechanical space and all utilities and controls required to support natural gas boilers. Provide new natural gas fired boilers and all associated piping, valves, DDC controls, and equipment including connections to existing facility heating distribution systems. Work includes tie-ins, demolition, and capping/sealing of existing steam and HTHW piping, hot water heat exchangers, and low-pressure steam reducing stations. Repair Steam and High Temperature Hot Water (HTHW) Line D partial in Area A using Natural Gas (N.G.) Boilers for 22 buildings. Includes new 8” diameter N.G. supply piping and in most cases separate N.G. boilers at or adjacent to each building. Affected facilities are buildings 15, 16, 17, 19, 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29, 55, 69, 109, 110, 113, 138, 140, 142, 143, 151, 152, 219, and infrastructure facilities 07199 (Heat distribution mains) and 07187 (natural gas mains). This project addresses roughly ½ of facilities served by existing heat distribution Line D.
1.3 The target ceiling for contract award is $8,000,000 based on the funds made available for this project. The Government cannot guarantee that additional funds will be available for award. Offerors are under no obligation to approach this ceiling.
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 capability for successfully completing the solicited project.
Requirements stated in this Request for Proposal (RFP) are minimums. Proposals should follow in the order of sequence set forth in the RFP. Information provided out of sequence may not be evaluated and may result in the offeror's disqualification from award.
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 Jessica Moss. NOTE: The Louisville District is in the Eastern Time Zone.
2.3 Offerors are required to submit a proposal consisting of the information identified in paragraphs 2.4 and2.5 below. 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 herein.
2.4 Volume I shall be submitted in a three-ring binder and include the following information:
• Volume I - Factor I: Past Performance
• Volume I - Factor II: Management Plan
• Volume I - Factor III: Small Business Participation Plan
*NOTE: The complete Volume I shall be submitted in original and 6 paper copies and one (1) electronic copy on CD/DVD. The paper version 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. 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. Any specified page limits will be strictly adhered to and enforced. Information submitted that exceeds the specified limit(s) will not be evaluated.
2.5 Volume II shall be submitted in a three-ring binder (placed in a separate envelope) and shall include the following information:
• Volume II - Tab A: Standard Form 1442 and Price Breakout Schedule
• Volume II - Tab B: Joint Venture Agreements
• Volume II - Tab C: Evidence of Ability to Obtain Bonding and Proof of Financial Ability
• Volume II - Tab D: Pre-Award Information
• Volume II - Tab E: Subcontracting Plan
NOTE: Volume II shall be submitted in original and one (1) electronic copy on CD/DVD. The paper version 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. Failure to place the required submission information under the appropriate tab (factor or sub factor) may result in a lower rating if the evaluators cannot readily find the appropriate information.
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.
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.
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 and sub 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.

5.0 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 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 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 to this project include at least 10 individual buildings with multiple boilers ranging from 399 MBH to 4,000 MBH.
5.1.3 Projects considered similar in scope 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 renovation must include the installation and removal of boilers requiring phasing within multiple facilities simultaneously.
5.1.4 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 to be considered similar.
5.1.5 Additional consideration may be given for projects that contain the following features:
a) Previous experience working with USACE and/or Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
b) Previous experience with a single project with multiple sites over multiple heating seasons
(typically October-April)
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
d) Size of the project, differentiate square footage of new construction versus renovation if the project includes both
e) Type and percentage of work that was self-performed
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 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 Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), including 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
W912QR21R0065
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 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
(l) the degree of the offeror's recent, relevant experience, and (2) how well the offeror performed that experience.
6.0 Volume I - Factor II: Management Plan
6.1 Submission Requirements:
Provide a management plan narrative for the project that describes how your labor, resources, designers, subcontractors, and material suppliers will be managed, supervised , coordinated, and used to ensure successful completion of the project at all sites within the period of performance. Additionally, the Management Plan shall include the following information:
• Identify and discuss significant areas of project-specific technical risks and provide your plan for mitigating risk during contract performance.
• Describe your process for coordinating with existing building functions and personnel prior to connection to existing facility. Narrative should reference how construction activities, utility service interruptions, coordination of connection to existing facility (i.e., alarm systems, secure perimeter access control, etc.) will be integrated into the project to ensure minimal impact to ongoing building operations.
• Provide a milestone schedule showing the proposed approach considering each location of work (simultaneous/phased efforts) and show any shutdowns. The schedule shall include a narrative and the work periods for each item listed within the submitted schedule.
• Discuss additional resources that are available to mitigate the risk of schedule slippage.
NOTE: There is a page limit often (10) single sided (front and back will count as two pages), 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 sub factor. Any information that exceeds this page limit will not be evaluated.
6.1.1 Evaluation Criteria:
Management Plan 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 , including phasing, 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 may be rated more favorably by the SSEB.
7.0 Volume I - Factor III: Small Business Participation Plan
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 is required to address each of the following areas individually:
• 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 %'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 practicality 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/Suppl y
Large Small Non-Disadvantaged Small Disadvantaged Small Woman Owned Small HUB Zone Small Veteran Owned Small Service Disabled Veteran Owned

(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-protege 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.
(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 Business es. 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).
7.2 Evaluation Criteria:
ALL OFFERORS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION PLAN.
The Small Business Participation Plan will be evaluated based on the offeror' s best efforts, 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 15% 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 plans;
• 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 plans;
• 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 participation percentages, or lack thereof. The Department of Defense (DOD) has established small business goals to help ensure small business receives a fair proportion of DOD awards.

ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT
YOUR EVALUATION OF THE CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE
RATING DEFINITION NOTE
(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.
An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.
(VG) Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.
A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.
(S) Satisfactory Performance meets minimum contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.
A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.
(M) Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.
A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.
(U) Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.
An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.
(N) Not Applicable
No information or did not apply to your contract
Rating will be neither positive nor negative.
