Westwood Blvd, Poplar Bluff, Missouri 63901. Award will be made to the Offeror who is responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 9.103(b), whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements, and whose proposal is judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation factors to be most advantageous to the Government. Proposals received in response to this solicitation will be evaluated in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15.101-1, Best Value - Trade Off Source Selection Process. The evaluation factors consist of: Factor 1 Contractor Organization Sub-Factor 1a Qualifications of Key Personnel Sub-Factor 1b Key Subcontractors Factor 2 Technical Approach Sub-Factor 2a Quality Controls Sub-Factor 2b Compliance with Construction Standards Sub-Factor 2c Timeliness Factor 3 Relevant Experience of Prime Contractor Factor 4 Past Performance Factor 5 Contractor Safety Plan Factor 6 - Price RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF EVALUATION FACTORS - All non-price factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price. The non-price factors are listed in descending order of importance Offerors should address, in detail, their capabilities by describing their proposed approach to each factor. All factors will be considered based solely on the proposal provided, to the extent in which the proposal demonstrates a clear understanding of the requirements, and the contractor s ability to meet those requirements. Noncompliance with the RFP submittal requirements will raise serious questions regarding an Offeror s technical ability to perform the services and may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from further consideration for contract award. b. THE OFFER The submission of the documentation specified below will constitute the Offeror s acceptance of the terms and conditions of the RFP, concurrence with the Requirement Description and Statement of Work and the proposed contract type. These instructions prescribe the format for the proposal and describe the approach for the development and presentation of proposal data.

AWARD BASED ON INITIAL OFFERS Pursuant to FAR 52.215-1, the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offeror s initial proposal should contain the Offeror s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. d.

VOLUME I - TECHNICAL PROPOSAL (NON-PRICE FACTORS) The Technical Proposal will be submitted via email and will be evaluated separately from the Price Proposal. The technical (non-priced) evaluation factors, listed below in descending order of importance, will be used to determine the acceptability standards for non-price factors. The sub-factors and elements within Factor 1 and Factor 2 are equal in importance. Failure to provide detailed information will make the proposal non-responsive. Award will not be made if the proposal is deemed non-responsive. The Government will rate an offeror's technical proposal, at the factor level, by use of descriptive adjectives that combines technical merit and proposal risk that most accurately defines the offeror's performance risk considering all factors/sub-factors/elements identified in this section. NOTE: THE TECHNICAL PROPOSAL SHALL NOT CONTAIN ANY PRICING INFORMATION RELATING TO THE OFFEROR S PROPOSED COEFFICIENTS. FACTOR 1. CONTRACTOR ORGANIZATION Offerors must provide evidence that they have the capabilities, qualifications and experience needed to meet the performance requirements of this project.

When doing so, offerors must provide the same information regarding qualifications, capability, and availability to self-perform that they would provide for a separate subcontractor. FACTOR 2. TECHNICAL APPROACH Within the Technical Approach sub-factor, three (3) elements will be evaluated. All three elements are of equal importance. Sub-Factor 2a QUALITY CONTROL Offerors shall provide a detailed description of specific techniques and processes used to manage Quality Control for construction projects. - Describe the minimum qualifications for personnel identified to perform Quality Control and Construction Management functions, to include experience, education and training, and proven capabilities. - Describe what measures and controls will be taken to ensure that quality control inspections are conducted in a timely and effective manner. Include a description of the inspection criteria and standards used to control performance by identifying, preventing, and correcting deficiencies. - Describe how the Offeror s Construction Management function will ensure that record keeping requirements are adhered to (i.e., submission of construction schedules, certified payrolls, daily logs, specification submittals, insurance certificates, proper progress payment requests, change order/modification documentation, etc.). Sub-Factor 2b COMPLIANCE WITH CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS Offerors shall provide a detailed explanation of how well the offeror and proposed subcontractors have the technical knowledge and capability to ensure strict compliance with applicable construction industry standards. The applicable standards may vary by the scope of individual task orders, and typically may include, but are not limited to: - Building Officials and Code Administrators National Building Code (BOCA); - International Building Code; - National Electric Code; - National Fire Protection Code; - National Safety Code; - OSHA Regulations; - ASHRA-E Codes & Standards; - International Plumbing Code; - Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC) - Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals Organization (JCAHO); and - Dept. of Veterans Affairs Standards/Specifications for Construction. The narrative description shall be specific, detailed, and complete to clearly and fully demonstrate that the Offeror, and proposed subcontractors, collectively have a thorough understanding of the requirements for compliance with established construction industry standards. The narrative should identify specific project experience and/or key personnel training/qualifications rather than merely stating that the offeror intends to conform to all standards. The point of the factor is not to indicate good intentions, it is to demonstrate qualifications. Sub-Factor 2c TIMELINESS Offerors shall provide a detailed description of procedures and techniques for maintaining on-time schedule performance. The narrative shall address the offeror s plan to execute projects (task orders) from the initial development through project completion in a manner that will best meet the Government s completion requirements. The narrative shall address the planned timeframes for responding to: - Site Visit Requests; - Response to RFP s for New Task Orders; and - Response to RFP s to Task Order Modifications. The narrative should also address the Offeror s management tools and practices to for: - Estimating System/Software Employed; - Construction Scheduling System Used; - Procedures for Providing Shop Drawing and Technical Submittals; - Management Control Over Subcontractor Performance; and - Measures taken to ensure that the Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion terms for all task orders are adhered to and completion dates are met. FACTOR 3. RELEVANT EXPERIENCE OF PRIME CONTRACTOR To demonstrate their relevant experience, Offerors shall provide a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) construction projects which started within the last three (3) years that are construction complete and which closely match the nature of work described in the Statement of Work. Relevant Experience is interpreted to mean construction projects involving hospital or medical facility repair or renovation where the Offeror served as the Prime (General) Contractor and the work involved multiple Subcontractors with multiple projects running concurrently. If Offerors wish to submit experience that was not conducted at hospital or medical facilities, they should explain how the nature and complexity of the work involved was equivalent to that described in the Statement of Work for this contract. Contractors may use the Performance Relevancy Survey attached to this solicitation. For each construction project submitted for Relevant Experience evaluation, provide the following information: - Project Title & Location; - Contract Number and Award Date - Original (initial) Contract Award Amount and Final Contract Amount (both in dollars); - Original (initial) Contract Performance Period (duration), and Actual (final) Completion Date; - Name, Telephone and E-Mail for the Following Points-of-Contact: - Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) - Engineering/Technical Representative. (With 1st-hand knowledge and involvement in the submitted contract.) - A narrative explanation of the submitted project s scope of work, including any special aspects of the work that meet the complexity and schedule maintenance requirements as described in this solicitation s Statement of Work. If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant project experience should be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity. If the Joint Venture does not have shared experience, projects shall be submitted for each Joint Venture partner. Offerors who fail to submit experience for all Joint Venture partners may be rated lower. NOTES: - Offerors may submit for Relevant Experience evaluation projects involving its officers and/or individuals submitted for the Key Personnel sub-factor. However, if the Offeror s firm did not perform as the Prime (General) Contractor, discuss in detail the role performed by the individuals involved. (Note: Subcontractor experience cannot be substituted for Prime Contractor experience and will not be considered.) FACTOR 4. PAST PERFORMANCE a. Offerors shall provide a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) of the most recently completed construction projects accomplished within the last five (5) years. Contractors may submit completed Past Performance Questionnaires in support of this evaluation factor. Projects submitted for Past Performance considerations shall be completed construction projects that were: - Executed as a contract with a Federal, State, or Local Government organization (NOTE: non-government contracts may be used if Government contracts are not available); - 100% completed within the last five years (projects not yet completed will not be considered); - Equal to, or greater than, ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($100,000.00) but not exceeding FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($500,000.00) in contract total price. (Note: For contract total price, include all modifications in the total); (Note: Only contracts awarded to the Offeror as the Prime (General) Contractor will be considered. Work performed by the Offeror as a Subcontractor will not be considered.) b. For each construction contract submitted for Past Performance evaluation, provide the following information: - Project Title & Location; - Contract Number and Award Date - Original (initial) Contract Award Amount and Final Contract Amount (both in dollars); - Original (initial) Contract Performance Period (duration), and Actual (final) Completion Date; - Name, Telephone and E-Mail for the Following Points-of-Contact: - Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) - Engineering/Technical Representative. (With 1st-hand knowledge and involvement in the submitted contract.) c. The submitted construction projects must be relevant to medical center construction projects. In assessing relevancy, the Government will evaluate an offeror's references for similarity to the construction methods to be completed under the scope of this solicitation, multi-discipline or specialized areas, the scope/type of contracts/projects, the magnitude of projects as it relates to price. Prime contractors who demonstrate that multiple construction projects were managed at the same time will be evaluated higher than Prime contractors who only manage one project at a time. If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant project past performance should be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity. If the Joint Venture does not have shared past performance, projects shall be submitted for each Joint Venture partner. Offerors who fail to submit past performance for all Joint Venture partners may be rated lower. Prime/subcontractor agreements other than a Joint Venture agreement will not be accepted. (Subcontractor experience cannot be substituted for Prime Contractor experience and will not be considered.) The past performance evaluation will be conducted using information obtained from your proposal, as well as other sources available to the Government, such as information obtained from the Contractor Performance Assessment Reports (CPAR), and /or any other sources deemed appropriate. The Government also reserves the right to contact any owner of a prior construction project performed by the Offeror to obtain additional information relating to past performance. Special Note: Offerors that May Lack Past Performance Information: In accordance with FAR Part 15.305(a)(2), An offeror with no Past Performance may receive a rating based on the evaluation of its predecessor companies, key personnel, and/or subcontractors. If such information is not applicable (i.e., the offeror does not have a predecessor company, key personnel or subcontractors with relevant past performance), the offeror shall be evaluated as ""Neutral . However, the proposal of an offeror with no relevant Past Performance history, while rated Neutral in Past Performance, may not represent the most advantageous proposal to the Government and thus, the Government may in its tradeoff analysis determine that highly rated past performance is more beneficial than a neutral past performance rating. Currency, Relevancy: The Government will consider the currency and relevancy of the performance information while conducting its performance evaluation. For this solicitation, currency is performance occurring within the last five years through the solicitation release date. Within this period, performance occurring more recently will have greater significance than work occurring earlier in the period. For example, performance information for work occurring during 2022 - 2023 may have greater importance than performance information for work occurring during 2021. The Government may consider an offeror s previous contracts in the aggregate in determining relevancy, should the offeror s present and past performance lend itself to this approach. For example, an offeror s work experience on three contracts may represent only a semi-relevant effort when each contract is considered as a stand-alone effort. However, when these contracts are performed concurrently (in part or in whole) and are assessed in the aggregate, the work may more accurately reflect a relevant effort. In accordance with FAR 15.306(a)(2), if award will be made without conducting discussions, offerors may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of their proposals, e.g., the relevance of an offeror's Past Performance information and adverse Past Performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond, or to resolve minor clerical errors. FACTOR 5. CONTRACTOR SAFETY PLAN Offerors must provide a construction safety plan according to TIL Spec Section 01 35 26, SAFETY REQUIREMENTS for safety and infection control requirements (see attachment 4). A.  Compliance & Plan Content: The contractor's Safety Plan shall be evaluated for their compliance with local/State/Federal rules and regulations and the company's consideration of safety of its employees and the public. The contractor's Safety Plan, at the minimum, shall address their safety policy, detailed disciplinary action to be taken with respect to employees violating safety requirements, personnel safety responsibilities, personnel safety training, personal protective equipment, accident / incident reporting procedure and investigations, emergency procedures guidelines, and their safety incentive plan. B. Hospital Working Environment Considerations: The contractor s Safety Plan shall address their plan for completing all contract work on and around an active hospital without impacting patient care. Plan will be evaluated on how it demonstrates contractor s intended efforts for maintaining infection control around the hospital work site. Contractor must also detail its plan for accomplishing all necessary tuberculosis and covid screenings for its workforce. b. VOLUME II - CONTRACT DOCUMENTS & PRICE PROPOSAL The Contract Documents referenced below and Price Proposal will be submitted as a separate email and will be evaluated separately from the Technical Proposal. Volume II shall be organized into two major sections: the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS and the PRICE PROPOSAL as described below. (1) SECTION 1 - CONTRACT DOCUMENTS Section 1 shall consist of the following subsections: Cover Letter Standard Form 1442 (completed) Schedule A Payment and Performance Bonds Capability Statement Representations & Certifications from System of Award Management (SAM) COVER LETTER A Cover Letter and Introduction (maximum of two pages in length) shall include the following information. - The name and address of the organization submitting the proposal. - The name, address, and telephone number of the designated individual who has the authority to make representations relative to the proposal, participate in discussions or negotiations (if necessary), and sign any legally binding documents for the organization (including proposals and resulting contract documents).

SCHEDULE A Fill in the blanks in Schedule A for the respective VAMC work schedules. LETTER FOR BONDING CAPABILITY Offerors shall submit a letter from their surety, providing the payment and performance bonds limitation. Offerors must have the capability to bond task orders up to $500,000.00 each, up to a total of FOUR MILLION DOLLARS ($4,000,000.00) for the base year and each option year ordering period (although there is no order limitation in each period for that $4,000,000.00 amount). The maximum amount of all orders over the life of the contract is $20,000,000.00. Offerors ...
