- Map to Bay Model Pre-Proposal Conference Past Performance Questionnaire PPQ Description A. CONTRACT INFORMATION 1. These Architect-Engineer (A-E) Construction Phase Services (CPS) Contracts are being procured in accordance with the Brooks Act (Public Law PL 582) and implemented in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)Subpart 36.6. Firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications for the required work. This requirement is being solicited as a Small Business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) for Construction Phase Services (CPS). The Small Business IDC will be in support of civil works, Interagency and International Services (IIS), and military construction projects for San Francisco District (SPN) and other districts within the South Pacific Division (SPD) boundaries. The intent of this solicitation is to award three (3) A-E IDCs with a capacity of $10,000,000.00 for each contract. North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541330, which has a small business size standard of $15,000,000 in average annual receipts and corresponds to Standard Industrial Code(SIC) Code 8711. The Product and Service Code (PSC) is C219. This announcement is open to all interested Small Business firms. The initial contract is anticipated to be awarded on or about June 2018. A total of three (3) IDCs are planned for award for small businesses for a total combined capacity of $30,000,000.00. All IDCs will have a 36-month base ordering period and one 24-month option period, for an overall ordering period of five years. Each IDC will have a guaranteed minimum amount of $10,000.00 for the first year of the base contract only. Nature of Work: The services necessary for each requirement will be negotiated and awarded as individual task orders. The A-E shall furnish all personnel, services, materials, supplies, office space, and supervision required to fully complete each task order. Task orders issued against the contract awarded under this announcement may be used by other districts within SPD. Contract Award Procedures: Professional Labor Rates will only be increased once every 12 months. Any task order issued at any time within the 12-month period must use the rates of the period in which the task order is executed by the Contracting Officer and will be in effect for the entire length of the task order. New rates go into effect only at the end of the 12 month period. The proposed services will be obtained by a negotiated Firm Fixed Price (FFP) task order. To be eligible for contract award, a firm or Joint Venture must be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM) database. For instruction on registering with SAM, please see the SAM website at https://www.sam.gov/. No State- Level certifications shall be accepted. If a specific task order requires the use of labor categories covered by the Service Contract Labor Standards (FAR 22.10), then the appropriate labor standards will be applied to that specific task order acquisition for those labor categories. Anti-Antiterrorism and Operations Security (AT/OPSEC) requirements as well as E-Verify (employment) will be required for all military or critical infrastructure projects; for other tasks, determination will be made per individual task order and by the Contracting Officer.

PROJECT INFORMATION Construction Phase Services will be professional services of an architectural or engineering nature associated with construction of real property. The services will be substantially and to a dominant extent performed or approved by registered or licensed architects or engineers. The services will include shop drawing review, evaluation of construction methods, and interpretation of plans and specifications, and building commissioning. The services will also include other professional services of an architectural or engineering nature incidental to construction, including studies, investigations, surveying and mapping, tests, evaluations, consultations, comprehensive planning, program management, conceptual designs, value engineering, soils engineering, preparation of operating and maintenance manuals, and other related services. Although the services will be predominantly required to support construction activities for Civil Works, IIS, and Military projects, they may also include tasks to support projects not yet in construction. In addition to the architectural and engineering services described above, the A-E firm may also be required to perform incidental services, including, but not limited to: onsite assistance and guidance to government construction field offices; onsite construction Quality Assurance (QA) inspection and reporting; onsite construction Administrative Assistant services; daily onsite evaluation of construction methods and materials, jobsite safety, construction progress, and building commissioning; project coordination; tracking and reporting daily job activities; developing suggested SOW(s) for construction modifications; review of Network Analysis Schedules (NAS); LEED support; review of Quality Control Plans, Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans, and Safety Plans; preparation of construction cost estimates; processing of modifications to construction contracts; preliminary analysis of construction contractor claims; and other incidental services related to Construction Phase Services. C. SELECTION CRITERIA The selection criteria are listed below. Criteria 1 through 5 are primary selection criteria, and are listed in descending order of importance. Criteria 6 and 7 are secondary and will only be used as tie-breakers among technically equally highly qualified firms. Primary Selection Criteria: 1. Specialized experience and technical competence: a. Specialized Experience (SF 330, Part I, Sections F & G): provide examples of not more than ten (10) projects completed within the last five (5) years that best demonstrate specialized experience and technical competency in the following required tasks: construction phase A-E services, quality assurance, cost controls, project controls, claims evaluation and analysis, and building commissioning for large multi-million dollar construction projects. Project examples submitted should be of completed construction projects and shall identify start and completion dates as well as the project size (total cost of construction contract and total cost of CPS only contract) and scope. A minimum of one (1) project shall demonstrate relevant experience with projects having professional fees of $5,000,000 or greater as the prime contractor for construction phase A-E services required in this solicitation. For submittal purposes, an example project can consist of either a single task order on an IDIQ contract, or a stand-alone contract for CPS. An IDIQ contract SHALL NOT be submitted as an example project. The Government will only evaluate information provided for specific tasks on an IDIQ contract. Experience of the prime contractor will be weighted more heavily than projects performed predominantly by proposed subcontractors. Experience of the prime contractor will be determined based on performance of 50% or more of the work by the prime's in-house workforce. The experience of a JV partner will be considered as the experience of the prime contractor. b. Technical Competence (Sections C, D, and/or H): Technical competence will be evaluated based on the firm's management plan. The management plan shall be presented in Section H and may reference Sections C and D. The plan shall include the following: • An organizational chart for the team with a discussion of the management plan for this contract and personnel roles in the organization.

For any one task order, the plan must demonstrate ability and capacity to provide approximately 10 personnel on site within 30 days of task order award, with at least half being key personnel of the type listed in Criteria 2, and maintain that level of personnel commitment over a one year period. The plan shall also describe the firm's present workload and the availability of the project team (key personnel and subcontractors) for the specified contract performance period; describe the strategies to meet surges in unexpected workload demand; ability to mobilize and describe the ability of the firm to provide qualified backup staffing for key personnel to ensure continuity of services. General statements of availability/capacity may be considered less favorably. 4. Past performance: Past performance on Department of Defense (DoD) and other contracts with respect to the quality of work, cost control, time management in terms of keeping construction contract on schedule, communication, and issue resolution as determined by CPARS and other sources. Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) may be used to provide or supplement a firm's past performance with other than U.S. Governmental clients. Firms which choose to use the PPQ may obtain a PPQ standard form by submitting a request to the below referenced POC via email. Projects where the prime contractor or JV partner performed 50% or more of the work with in-house forces will be weighted more heavily than projects performed predominantly by proposed subcontractors.
