- PRE-SOLICITATION SYNOPSIS: AIRCRAFT RESEARCH SUPPORT FACILITY NAVAL AIR STATION PATUXENT RIVER, PATUXENT RIVER MARYLAND (DESIGN-BUILD ACQUISITION) The Aircraft Research Support Facility project, constructs a 49,300 SF three-story, masonry office building on a concrete foundation. Building includes force protection features such as structural enhancements to avoid progressive collapse, laminated glazing, controlled access and landscaping that includes passive vehicle barriers, in addition to information systems, an elevator and an emergency management control system. An existing stormwater management pond will be reconfigured to accommodate the new facility. An additional deck will be added to an existing parking garage, Facility 2273, in order to accommodate the occupants of the new facility and to replace parking spaces lost due to the location of the new building which includes the required stand off distances. Work will be performed at the Naval Air Station, Patuxent River, Patuxent River, Maryland. This procurement is unrestricted for a Design-Build Project being acquired through the use of the two-phase selection process. This acquisition will result in a FIRM FIXED PRICE contract acquired through competitive negotiation procedures. The procurement will be conducted using source selection procedures and the award will be based on the best value to the government considering the price and non-priced factors. The Design to Budget for this project is $19,914,000.00, where the base bid may not exceed $17,923,000.00. Offerors must respond to the Phase I factors ONLY by 2:00 p.m. EST on 31 May 2006.

The Government desires to do business with only those firms that excel in safety performance. This factor exists to emphasize the importance of safety in and around all construction sites and at the base where construction work is being performed. This factor consists of two subfactors that (1) will evaluate specific aspects of the offerors construction safety program and (2) will evaluate the offeror?s safety performance history by contacting references, including but not limited to clients, insurance agencies and subcontractors. For purposes of this evaluation, Subfactor A is less important than Subfactor B. Subfactor A: Safety Program. The offeror shall provide information that demonstrates a corporate commitment to construction safety by addressing the following: 1. Processes/Standard Operating Procedures, 2. Management Involvement/Commitment, 3. Employee participation and training, 4. Incentive/Awards program, and 5. Other safety program innovations. Offerors shall not submit their Corporate Safety Plan to satisfy the response to this subfactor. Subfactor B: Safety Performance History. Provide the number of mishap/accidents for the most recent 100,000-man hours of construction. This information is required for the prime contractor and all subcontractors working on your jobsite. Your response shall address each of the following: 1. Description of Accident/Mishap and whether prime or subcontractor event, 2. Date/location of occurrence and contract title, 3. Actions taken following accident/mishap, 4. Agency/client POC and phone number, and 5. Employer (of employee affected by event) POC and phone number. The Government will contact references for the purpose of validating the information provided in response to this factor as well as obtaining further insight into each offeror?s corporate safety philosophy. The frequency and severity of events may have significant impact in the rating assigned to this factor. The Government reserves the right to call any or all previous clients for the purpose of obtaining additional information regarding your record of accidents and mishaps. PAST PERFORMANCE. Past Performance is equal in importance to the Technical/Management Factors 1 ? 3. Past Performance information is one indicator of an Offeror?s ability to successfully perform this contract. This evaluation will include the performance history of both the construction entity and the design entity. The assessment of the Offeror?s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capability of the offeror and establish a level of risk (high, moderate, or low) for successful performance under this contract. Past Performance findings will influence the standing of the Offeror. Findings will be used to validate proposals against established criteria. Offerors may be given an opportunity to address unfavorable reports of past performance. Evaluation of Past Performance will be a subjective assessment. The Government is seeking to determine whether the offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to customer satisfaction, timely delivery of services, adherence to contract schedules, subcontractor management, safety management, quality control programs, good workmanship, conformance to specifications, and fair and reasonable prices. Each interested offeror shall contact Nicole Rounay at Nicole.Rounay@navy.mil and Cc. Christine Owens at Christine.Owens@navy.mil to obtain a Past Performance Questionnaire. The provided Past Performance Questionnaire shall be forwarded, by the offeror, to all Construction Team and Design Team references, under Factor 1 and Factor 2, and filled out accordingly. Offerors are responsible for ensuring the completed questionnaires are submitted, by their references, via electronic submission to Nicole Rounay at Nicole.Rounay@navy.mil and Christine Owens at Christine.Owens@navy.mil. The questionnaires shall be returned at least one (1) week prior to the bid due date, but absolutely no later than the bid due date and time. Since the Government will contact the individuals identified in Factor 1 and Factor 2, it is critical that these individuals be familiar with the project to answer specific questions regarding your performance. The Government may choose to contact additional customer(s) not provided by an offeror and may obtain additional information through other sources, such as the Past Performance Retrieval System (PPIRS), and phone interviews. In addition to references provided under Factor 1 and Factor 2, you may include additional references that are knowledgeable of your firm?s performance. In evaluating past performance, the Government will focus on information derived from the projects that are most relevant to this project. PHASE II. EVALUATION FACTORS. Please do not respond to Phase II factors at this time. The following factors may be included in Phase II, and their full text will be provided in the solicitation. In Phase 2: (1) the total of all Phase 1 and 2 technical/management factors; (2) Past Performance; and (3) Price, are considered equal in importance. FACTOR 4b - Subcontracting Plan. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command has established subcontracting targets of at least 75.83% of the subcontracting efforts to small business firms. Of the total subcontracted effort, the targets are a minimum of 1.28% to HUBZone Small Business firms, 15.80% to SDB firms, 14.23% to WOSB firms, 0.12% to VOSB, and 0.12% to SDVOSB firms. Large business firms will be evaluated against these targets with more credit given to firms who exceed these targets. FACTOR 5 - Design Solutions. FACTOR 6 - Construction Schedule. PRICE. Price will be evaluated during Phase II in terms of reasonableness based on a comparison of the Government Estimate and other offers received.
