- Prequalification of Sources Questionnaire Prequalification of Sources For Horizontal Construction Contract For Lewisville Dam Safety Modification This is a PREQUALIFICATION OF SOURCES announcement, issued in accordance with DFARS 236.272. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this announcement or any follow up information requests. Respondents will be notified of the results of the Prequalification of Sources Selection. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Fort Worth District is seeking to create a Prequalified Sources List for horizontal construction projects. The Prequalified Sources List will be used as a vehicle to solicit a stand-alone "C" type construction contract. Only firms on the Prequalified Sources List will be eligible to compete for this solicitation. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for procurements offered to firms on the Prequalified Sources list is 237990, Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, which has a small business size standard of $36.5M. Bonding Requirements (Specific to Individual "C" type Contracts to be Awarded): Pursuant to the Miller Act, Performance and Payment bonds shall be provided for each project awarded under the Prequalified Sources List. Notice to Proceed (NTP), will not be issued until after the selected offeror provides sufficient bonding to cover the work required as communicated under the project solicitation. Process for Qualification: To be considered qualified for the Prequalified Sources List, firms must meet the following minimum requirements (additional information on required responses is detailed in the attached questionnaire including standards of acceptability where applicable): 1. Single bonding capability of at least $50M and aggregate bonding capability of at least $150M. 2. Completed a horizontal construction contract in the Contiguous United States with a contract price of $10M or more within the last five years (including identification of the project and a brief description.) Offerors should also include the past performance rating (if any) by the owner on the questionnaire, if the offeror was rated. 3. Offerors are required to prepare a narrative for each of the listed features of work/operations to include a description of past experience as described or similar, and identifying technical and operational considerations for safely and successfully completing the feature of work as described. Include the applicable contract name and number and contracting agency contact information for each referenced experience and identify how past experience deviates from the listed feature of work or operation. Each narrative (including project identification and contact information) shall not exceed a total of 3 pages (this includes front and back with a font no smaller than 10): 4. Offerors are required to prepare a narrative (a maximum of 5 pages for each type of work, this includes front and back with a font no smaller than 10) describing their firm's or a subcontracted firm's successful experience with the following work as well as their technical approach to the work. Include the project name and contract number and provide the contracting agency's contact information for each example of past experience. 5. Certification that all responses to the Prequalification of Sources Questionnaire are accurate and complete by a principal of the firm. The Government may contact the Offeror's provided project reference to evaluate the overall level of satisfaction. References identified in 2g may be asked to comment on items such as quality of service, timeliness, adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance, management of the work, subcontract management, including timely payment to subcontractors or suppliers, ability to resolve problems quickly and effectively, safety, relations between the owner and contractor, level of support, and professional and accurate communication exchanges. Past Performance information (e.g. CCASS or CPARS reports) submitted by offerors under Factor 2 will be considered and verified. The Selection Panel will be provided any relevant past performance information from Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture or teaming arrangement) identified in the offeror's responses, 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. All complete submissions will be evaluated by a Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB). All offerors rated as Acceptable by the SSEB for all four factors will be placed on the Prequalified Sources List and will receive fair opportunity to compete for the action solicited from the established Prequalified Sources List. Responses submitted to the Prequalification of Sources Questionnaire and associated narrative responses will be used to determine qualification for the Prequalified Sources List. Project-Specific Solicitation Procedures: 1. The Government will provide all firms on the Prequalified Sources List notification of its intent to advertise a requirement. The notification will include a brief summary of the requirement, general information about the evaluation criteria that will be used for the solicitation, and a request for each firm to provide the Government with responses to the evaluation criteria and a positive or negative statement of interest in proposing on the project. 2. The firms will be provided a closing date by which they must respond to the notification of intent for each project. Any pre-qualified firm that fails to respond to the notification of intent within the allowed time with all required information will not be considered for award. 3. The due date for receipt of proposals will generally be 30 days after issuance of an RFP. A Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) composed of individuals with relevant technical expertise will evaluate all technical proposals received in response to the RFP. The Deputy for the Office of Small Business Programs (D, OSBP) may serve as an advisor to the SSEB and the Small Business Administration (SBA) Procurement Center Representative (PCR) may serve as an advisor to the SSEB for review and evaluation of the submitted small business participation plans and subcontracting plans. All voting members of the SSEB will independently review each technical proposal, prepare a technical analysis of each proposal, and assign an appropriate adjectival rating for each factor and performance risk. A price analysis will be completed and a cost analysis may be completed if determined to be necessary. 4. The Best Value Trade-off (BVTO) solicitations shall also state, at minimum, whether all evaluation factors other than price, when combined are (1) significantly more important that cost or price; (2) approximately equal to cost or price; (3) significantly less important that cost or price (10 USC 2305(A)(iii) and 41 USC 3306(c)(1)(c)). 5. The Source Selection Authority (SSA) will review the SSEB technical analysis but the award decision will represent the SSA's independent judgment of best value to the Government. The SSA's decision shall be based on a comparative assessment of all proposals against all evaluation criteria contained in the solicitation. The SSA's decision will be documented in a Source Selection Decision Document (SSDD) and will include the rationale for any business judgments and trade-offs made or relied on by the SSA including benefits associated with any additional costs. 6. The selected proposal will be awarded using BVTO procedures. The RFP may state an intention to award based on initial offers received without discussions. However, the Government will reserve the right to enter discussions if it is determined to be in the Governments best interest. Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) Safe File Exchange: Phase II solicitations and Contractor proposals will be sent via AMRDEC safe file exchange.
