SECTION 00 22 12

PROCEDURES FOR SUBMITTAL OF OFFERS AND PROPOSAL EVALUATION CRITERIA

1. Overview.

1.1 The intent of this solicitation is to select one contractor for the construction of a new Army Reserve Center, Vehicle Maintenance Shop & Unheated Storage Building located at the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany, GA. 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 Design/Bid/Build new construction consisting of an Army Reserve Center (33,000 sf), Vehicle Maintenance Shop (12,600 sf) and an Unheated Storage Building (1,200 sf).

Supporting facilities include site development, utilities and connections, Military Equipment Park (MEP), non-organizational parking, vehicle wash rack/platforms, bi-level equipment loading ramp, circulation pavements, storm drainage, paving, walks, curbs and gutters, fencing, gates, lighting, information systems, landscaping, and signage. Accessibility for the disabled will be provided. Anti-terrorism Force Protection (ATFP) and physical security measures will be incorporated into the design including maximum standoff distances from roads, parking areas and vehicle unloading areas. Sustainability and Energy measures will be provided.

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 are required to submit a proposal consisting of the information identified in paragraphs

2.3 and 2.4 below. All proposal materials shall be submitted electronically with a table of contents and section dividers. The sections should parallel the submission requirements identified herein. NOTE: The Louisville District is in the Eastern Time Zone.

2.3 Volume I shall be submitted electronically in accordance with the Proposal Submission Instructions in Section 00 21 00 and include the following information:

Volume I – Factor I: Past Performance Volume I – Factor II: Management Plan Volume I – Factor III: Schedule Narrative Volume I – Factor IV: Small Business Participation Plan

*NOTE: 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. Any specified page limits will be strictly adhered to and enforced. Information submitted that exceeds the specified limit will not be evaluated.

2.4 Volume II shall be submitted electronically in accordance with the Proposal Submission Instructions in Section 00 21 00 and 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: 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. Any specified page limits will be strictly adhered to and enforced. Information submitted that exceeds the specified limit will not be evaluated.

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 IV– 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, and subsequent to, 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 the 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.

Volume/Factor Relative Order of Importance

4.2 Volume I – Factor I – Past Performance 1st

4.3 Volume I – Factor II –Management Plan 2nd

4.4 Volume I – Factor III – Schedule Narrative 3rd

TABLE 1

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating Description Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

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.

TABLE 2

Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings

Rating Description 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.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet small business objectives.

4.8 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 offeror’s 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 offeror’s 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 from sources where the information is from other than formal rating systems such as

“CPARS” or “FAPIIS.” Adverse past performance that must be addressed with Offerors includes unfavorable comments received from sources such as those received from respondents from past performance questionnaires or interviews that have not been finalized within a formal rating system.

9. Discussion. Exchanges (i.e., negotiations) in a competitive environment that are undertaken with the intent of allowing the offeror to revise its proposal. Discussions take place after establishment of the competitive range. See FAR 15.306(d)

10. Best Value. The expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement. See FAR 2.101.

11. Relevancy. As it pertains to past performance information, is a measure of the extent of similarity between the service/support effort, complexity, dollar value, contract type, and subcontract/teaming or other comparable attributes of past performance examples and the solicitation requirements; and a measure of the likelihood the past performance is an indicator of future performance.

12. Recency. As it pertains to past performance information, is a measure of the elapsed time since the past performance reference occurred. Recency is generally expressed as a time period during which past performance references are considered relevant.

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 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 considered for evaluation purposes but may lessen the overall relevancy rating for that project. Projects are deemed substantially complete when at least 95% of the construction work, including commissioning activities, has been completed. If commissioning is not finalized, provide its current status. 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 requirement shall be a minimum of: Building(s) having a combined square footage of at least 30,000 square feet.

5.1.3 Projects considered similar in scope to this project shall include: New construction of Army Reserve Centers, military headquarters or training buildings, educational facilities, vehicle maintenance shops, and office buildings.

5.1.4 The prime contractor must have self-performed at least 15 percent of the direct contract.

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

a) Demonstrated construction experience at Marine Corps Logistics Base, Albany, GA

b) Demonstrated construction experience with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers

c) Demonstrated construction experience with Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF)

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 percent of work complete and 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 the type of work performed and the percentage of work that was self-performed.

f) Dollar value of the project.

g) Customer primary point of contact (POC) and alternate POC (name, relationship to project, agency/firm affiliation, city, state, current and correct phone number, and current and correct email address).

NOTE: There is a page limit of fifteen (15) 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 Past Performance factor.

Past-Performance Questionnaires/CPARS Evaluations do not count toward this page count.

Information submitted that exceeds the specified limit will not be evaluated.

5.1.7 For projects submitted under this factor, offerors must include any ratings (including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) database ratings for federal projects submitted), 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 (PPQ) is attached for your convenience and is only required if a CPARS evaluation is not available for the submitted project. 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. If providing a CPARS database rating, offerors are required to provide the complete CPARS evaluation, which includes the individual categorical ratings in addition to the supporting rating narratives. 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, and sister or parent companies 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 with the JV 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 JV offeror as demonstrated by a signed JV agreement. 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).

NOTE: Relevant past performance information provided for affiliates of the offeror will be considered. Affiliates (as defined by FAR 2.101) means associated business concerns or individuals if, directly or indirectly either one controls or can control the other; or third-party controls or can control both. Affiliation will be determined in accordance with 13 CFR 121.103.

In determining whether affiliation exists, the Government will consider the totality of the circumstances and may find affiliation even though no single factor is sufficient to constitute affiliation. If an offeror is submitting the past performance of an affiliate, the offeror must submit proof of affiliation pursuant to 13 CFR 121.103.

5.2 Evaluation Criteria:

5.2.1 The Government 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 Government will determine how relevant a past project is when compared to the scope complexities, size, and magnitude of effort of the solicited project. For the purposes of this evaluation factor, “scope complexities” can be described as the technical performance characteristics which define the work completed on the project, and “magnitude of effort” can be described as the amount of self-performance effort expended to successfully perform the project.

Additionally, in the computation of the individual project relevancy rating, the Government will consider any applicable additional consideration elements referenced in paragraph 5.1.5 above. 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 will, at a minimum, review past performance information retrieved through the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) numbers identified in the offeror’s proposal. 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. 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 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.

6.0 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. Additionally, the Management Plan shall include the following information:

a) Describe the duties of the key project delivery staff (e.g. PM, Superintendent, CQCSM, SSHO) and how this team will work together to deliver the project.

b) Identify significant areas of risk and provide your plan for mitigating risk during contract performance.

c) A commissioning plan to include an outline of systems to be commissioned, commissioning timeline, and documents to be provided.

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.

Information submitted that exceeds the specified limit will not be evaluated.

6. 2 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 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 in accordance with Table 3, Technical/Risk Assessment Rating.

7.0 Volume I – Factor III: Schedule Narrative

7.1 Submission Requirements

7.1.1 Based on the project budget and scope, provide a schedule narrative (only) describing the construction sequence/process for successful completion of the project (Construction, Commissioning, and Close-Out) within the duration shown in FAR 52.211-10. At a minimum, the Schedule Narrative shall address the timing and process(es) necessary to complete the key activities indicated below:

a) Pre-Construction Submittals and Government Review Period

b) Submission of Initial Project Schedule

c) Workforce Mobilization Activities

d) Long Lead Items

e) Commissioning Activities (Including identifying a commissioning agent) and Critical

Submittals

f) Project Closeout Planning and Coordination (including Red Zone Meeting, DD From

1354- Transfer and Acceptance of DoD Real Property; and as-built drawings)

7.1.2 Additionally, offerors are to provide a simple bar chart that shows the key activities indicated above, as well as items outlined within the risk mitigation plan section of the management plan identified in paragraph 6.1, when part of the risk mitigation plan is dependent upon scheduled activities.

NOTE: There is a page limit of ten (10) 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 schedule narrative portion of this factor. Information submitted that exceeds the specified limit will not be evaluated.

There is a separate page limit of five (5) single sided, 11” x 17” pages, using a minimum font size of 11 and a minimum margin of one-half inch on all sides, for the bar chart portion of this factor.

Information submitted that exceeds the specified limit will not be evaluated.

7.2 Evaluation Criteria

7.2.1 The narrative will be evaluated based on the understanding of events identified in paragraph 7.1.1 above and the offeror’s capability to complete the schedule within the contract duration.

Narratives that demonstrate a clear understanding of the schedule impacts of the key activities and provide a thorough approach for successfully completing the solicited project within the contract duration may be rated more favorably by the SSEB. A Schedule Narrative rating will be assigned using Table 3 above.

The bar chart will be evaluated based on the offeror’s understanding of the appropriate sequencing and durations of the construction activities.

NOTE: The SSEB will evaluate the offeror’s schedule using calendar days, not dates.
