All design must comply with the Savannah District Design Manual. All design will utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM) software. BIM software platform and drawing file format will be determined per task order. All drawing files will be developed using the AEC Standard, as supplemented by the Savannah District instructions. The standards include naming convention, file and directory structure, line weights, levels, and color. Specifications will be produced in SpecsIntact using the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS). Work will require experience working on projects requiring secret or TS/SCI clearance. SELECTION CRITERIA: The source selection factors for this procurement are listed below in descending order of importance. Sub-factors within each factor are also listed in descending order of importance. Factors 1 through 4 are primary. Factor 5 is secondary and will only be used as a tie-breaker among technically equal firms. Factor 1. Professional Qualifications (SF330, Part I, Sections E and G) Subfactor - Resumes of Key Personnel (Section E, Blocks 12 - 18): Offerors must have, either in-house or through consultants or subcontractors, the disciplines listed below. To demonstrate qualifications, resumes for persons filling these disciplines are to be provided in Section E. Each resume shall not exceed one page in length. In Block 13, the role listed must use the exact same discipline nomenclature as listed below. If an individual will serve in more than one role, then all disciplines shall be clearly indicated in Block 13. The format of Section E as to its content is not to be altered. Additionally, all Key Personnel must be shown on the organizational chart in Section D, and must be U.S. Citizens. At a minimum, three (3) Key Personnel must possess current Top Secret Security Clearances. These must be final, not interims, and are to be identified on their individual resumes. The following disciplines are required: (1) Project Manager - required Project Management Professional (Registration number required); minimum of a bachelor's degree from an accredited four-year college or university. (2) Electrical Engineer - required Professional Engineering Licensure (License number required); minimum of a bachelor's degree from an accredited four-year college or university with a major in Electrical Engineering. (3) Mechanical Engineer - required Professional Engineering Licensure (License number required); minimum of a bachelor's degree from an accredited four-year college or university with a major in Mechanical Engineering. (4) Architect - required Registered Architect Licensure; minimum of a bachelor's degree from an accredited four-year college or university with a major in Architecture. (5) IT Systems/Network/Communications Engineer - required Professional Engineering Licensure (License number required); minimum of a bachelor's degree from an accredited four-year college or university with a major in IT Systems/Network/Communications Engineering. Subfactor - Relevant Projects (Section E, Block 19): All Key Personnel are required to have a minimum of five (5) years of project experience in their discipline demonstrated by projects with scope, magnitude, and complexity comparable to this solicitation. Relevant projects are those that reflect experience performing the respective discipline. No more than five projects should be listed for each resume, and each project listed must have been completed within seven (7) years of publication of this solicitation announcement. (Note: The projects provided for this factor may also be used to address Factor 2.) The evaluation of Factor 1 will take into consideration the education and registration, licensure or certification(s), as applicable, of each person named for each discipline and that person's longevity with the firm named in Block 15. It will also take into consideration the person's relevant project experience provided in Block 19. Subfactors are not separately rated, but may be assessed Strengths or Weaknesses, as appropriate. Only the Key Personnel disciplines requested in this solicitation will be evaluated. Factor 2. Past Performance (SF330, Part I, Sections F and G) In Section F Offerors are to submit up to eight (8) projects that best illustrate the proposed team's (see Part I, Section C) qualifications for award of a contract. (Note: The projects provided for Factor 1 may also be used to address this factor.) For purposes of this solicitation, a stand-alone contract or single task order is considered one project. Separating activities performed under a contract or task order will not be considered multiple projects; conversely, combining activities performed under separate contracts or task orders to produce a single project will not be considered. For each project use only one page and note the contract or task order number, as applicable. As to content, do not alter the format of Section F. All projects must have been completed within seven (7) years of publication of this solicitation announcement (see Block 22). At least four (4) of the projects presented must show that the Offeror (the firm submitting the SF330 as the prime contractor), whether as a prime contractor or subcontractor, performed the majority (>50%) of the work on the project. To demonstrate such performance, Offerors are to state the percentage of work they performed. If a proposed subcontractor also worked on the project, state the percentage of work it performed. If an Offeror submits more than four (4) projects, those projects must reflect performance of work by the Offeror, or one or more of its proposed subcontractors. For each such project state the percentage of work performed by the Offeror, and/or the percentage of work performed by each proposed subcontractor. In Block 24, "cost" is the total value of the project, not simply the value of the work performed by the Offeror and/or any proposed subcontractor. To demonstrate quality of past performance, for each project the Offeror must provide a Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR). If a CPAR, is not available, the Offeror must provide a NAVFAC/USACE/USGS Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ). If a PPQ is provided and there is a CPAR, the CPAR rating will govern. The Government reserves the right to review any official performance evaluation system of records to inform its source selection decision. When completing Section G, in Block 26, along with the name of key personnel, include the firm with whom the person is or was associated at the time the project was performed. Those firms submitting as Joint Ventures (JV) must follow the same procedures as any other Offeror with the following exception. If the JV (the Offeror) cannot provide at least four (4) projects that demonstrate performance by the JV of 50% or more of a project, as either a prime contractor or subcontractor, the JV may provide projects performed by any partner of the offering JV that reflect performance of 50% or more of a project, as either a prime contractor or subcontractor. Of the projects submitted as prescribed above, relevant projects are those that reflect the experience of the Offeror and/or proposed subcontractor(s), as prime contractors or subcontractors, performing activities similar to those described above in the paragraph titled Project Information. More weight will be given to project designs of Cyber Security facilities or campuses on military installations, that required Top Secret Security Clearances for Key Personnel, that are 100% complete, and that are of scope, magnitude, and complexity similar to that required by this solicitation. More weight will also be given for those projects that reflect performance by personnel (see Part I, Section G, Blocks 26-29) that are proposed as Key Personnel in Section E, Part I. This factor may be assessed Strengths or Weaknesses, as appropriate. Factor 3. Specialized Experience and Technical Competence (SF330, Part I, Section H) In Part I, Section H, the Offeror must provide narratives demonstrating its team's (see Part I, Section C) breadth of knowledge and experience with the design of Cyber Security Facilities. For each subfactor, the narratives should describe the corporate approach, driving criteria or potential constraints, and examples of successful performance. Subfactors are not separately rated, but may be assessed Strengths or Weaknesses, as appropriate. Subfactor - Discuss knowledge of, and experience with, providing IT systems or network engineering for DoD agencies that involves integration of extensive, robust, internal communication networks (wired, wireless, unclassified, and classified) into building systems architecture that also includes highly complex and innovative audio-visual and graphic display. Subfactor - Discuss knowledge of, and experience with, providing DoD agencies with designs for all forms of electronic security (card readers, cameras, etc.) and Electromagnetic Pulse protection (EMP) or Electromagnetic Shielding (RF Shielding). Subfactor - Discuss knowledge of, and experience with, designs of facilities that house classified information and networks for DoD agencies. Include information specific to design of electronic classrooms, or auditoriums in a classified environment. Subfactor - Discuss knowledge of, and experience with, working in a collaborative environment with DoD Contracting and Engineering project proponents and end-user groups to develop and achieve project requirements, goals and objectives within budget and scope. Subfactor - Discuss knowledge of, and experience with, work management planning to include quality management, subcontractor management, version control management, proactive internal and external communication protocols, and independent submittal review processes in the context of providing services under multiple task orders. Factor 4. Quality of Work, Cost Control and Scheduling (SF330, Part I, Section H) Offerors shall demonstrate in narrative or other format a history of customer satisfaction with the Offeror's quality of work, cost control and scheduling. This history can be substantiated by presentation of CPARS or PPQ ratings, or customer ratings from other project evaluation systems. This factor may be assessed Strengths or Weaknesses, as appropriate, with more weight given to successful performance ratings in these three areas on Department of Defense contracts. Factor 5. Small Business Participation (SF330, Part I, Section H) Offerors are to show the extent to which they have utilized SBs in past contracts. Offerors shall submit a record of the past seven (7) years as measured from publication of this solicitation that demonstrates the utilization of SB in the performance of contracts, to include percentage of utilization. An Offeror may demonstrate its past record by including a description and available documentation that shows the methods employed to promote SB utilization and internal methods used to monitor such utilization. This factor may be assessed Strengths or Weaknesses, as appropriate. Interviews. As required by acquisition regulations, interviews for the purpose of discussing prospective contractor qualifications will be conducted by the A-E Evaluation Board (Selection Board). Interviews will be held with those offerors deemed by the Board to be qualified for award. Interviews will be conducted by telephone and will most likely occur the same week that the Selection Board convenes. Phone calls and personal visits for the purpose of discussing this solicitation are not allowed.
