- The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District intends to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP)'s to award one firm-fixed price contract for the design and construction (design-build) of the new 1st Brigade Barracks at Ft. Drum, New York. Design and construction shall comply with the specifications and requirements contained in the RFP. This is a one-step solicitation with price evaluation preference for HUBZone small business concerns in accordance with FAR Clause 52.219-4. The Government will use a lowest price technically accepted selection approach for this selection. This solicitation is not a competitive open bid and there will not be a formal public bid opening. The design and technical criteria contained and cited in RFP establish minimu m standards for design and construction quality. The solicitation criteria rely predominately upon military design standards for barracks to meet program specific requirements for the Army's Barracks Program. The successful Offeror must design and constru ct a complete and useable facility, as described in the RFP documents. The successful Offeror must have submitted a clear and concisely written proposal that gives the Government the greatest confidence in the Offerors ability to meet the Governments requi rements in an affordable manner. Offerors must demonstrate a thorough understanding of project requirements and a commitment to performance in accordance with the RFP in all aspects of project execution. A site visit will also be scheduled, for the Offerors, prior to submittal of proposa ls, at which time Offerors will be allowed to examine the site. The proposals will be evaluated on the basis of the technical qualifications and price. The evaluation process essentially consists of five parts: proposal compliance review, technical/qualit y evaluation, price evaluation, final proposal revision (if discussions are required) and final determination by the SSA. To be considered acceptable, Offerors shall specifically address each of the evaluation factors set forth in the solicitation. Propo sals will be evaluated on RFP compliance and technical merits. Price proposals will be evaluated on price only. Price will not be scored, but will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness through the use of price analysis. Technical factors are list ed in order of decreasing importance; Factor 1 is more important than factor 2, which in turn is more important than factor 3. Within each factor, sub-factors are of equal importance. To be considered acceptable, Offerors shall specifically address each of the evaluation factors. Technical evaluation includes evaluation of the both the technical proposal and the subcontracting plan. The criteria for technical evaluation factors for this effort shall include: Factor 1 - Past Relevant Experience of Offeror s Team: The Offeror as a Design-Build Team shall demonstrate relevant experience by the physical completion and acceptance of similar and relevant projects within the last seven (7) years. Factor 2 - Past Performance of Offerors Team: The Offeror as a Des ign-Build Team shall demonstrate at a minimum satisfactory performance, including timely completion of punch list and warranty work, for the projects submitted.

All large businesses shall submit a subcontracting plan with their technical and price/cost proposals. The plan should be prepared in accordance with FAR 52.219-9. Failure to submit an acceptable subcontracting plan may make the Offeror inel igible for award of the contract.
