Description

The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District intends to issue a Request for Proposals RFPs to award one firm-fixed price contract for the design and construction (design-build) of the new 1st Brigade Barracks at Ft. Drum, New York. This project consists of constructing three (3) barracks buildings (2-story) with 92 rooms each for unaccompanied enlisted personnel housing (UEPH) facilities with integrated soldier community facilities in the 10200 area on Fort Drum. Construction is to m atch the architectural theme of adjacent buildings which are of masonry construction.Design and construction shall comply with the specifications and requirements contained in the RFP. This is a one-step solicitation with price evaluation preference for HU BZone small business concerns in accordance with FAR Clause 52.219-4. The Government will use a lowest price technically accepted selection approach for this selection. This solicitation is not a competitive open bid and there will not be a formal public b id opening. The design and technical criteria contained and cited in RFP establish minimum standards for design and construction quality. The solicitation criteria rely predominately upon military design standards for barracks to meet program specific requ irements for the Army's Barracks Program. The successful Offeror must design and construct a complete and useable facility, as described in the RFP documents. The successful Offeror must have submitted a clear and concisely written proposal that gives the Government the greatest confidence in the Offerors ability to meet the Government’s requirements in an affordable manner. Offerors must demonstrate a thorough understanding of project requirements and a commitment to performance in accordance with the RFP in all aspects of project execution. A site visit will also be scheduled, for the Offerors, prior to submittal of proposals, at which time Offerors will be allowed to examine the site. The proposals will be evaluated on the basis of the technical qual ifications and price. The evaluation process essentially consists of five parts: proposal compliance review, technical/quality evaluation, price evaluation, final proposal revision (if discussions are required) and final determination by the SSA. To be con sidered acceptable, Offerors shall specifically address each of the evaluation factors set forth in the solicitation. Proposals will be evaluated on RFP compliance and technical merits. Price proposals will be evaluated on price only. Price will not be sco red, but will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness through the use of price analysis. Technical factors are listed in order of decreasing importance; Factor 1 is more important than factor 2, which in turn is more important than factor 3. Within ea ch factor, sub-factors are of equal importance. To be considered acceptable, Offerors shall specifically address each of the evaluation factors. Technical evaluation includes evaluation of the both the technical proposal and the subcontracting plan. The cr iteria for technical evaluation factors for this effort shall include: Factor 1 - Past Relevant Experience of Offeror's Team: The Offeror as a Design-Build Team shall demonstrate relevant experience by the physical completion and acceptance of similar and relevant projects within the last seven (7) years. Factor 2 - Past Performance of Offeror's Team: The Offeror as a Design-Build Team shall demonstrate at a minimum satisfactory performance, including timely completion of punch list and warranty work, for t he projects submitted. Factor 3 - Qualifications of the Offeror's Team: The Offeror will provide an organization chart and the key personnel resumes for the Offeror's Design-Build Team.

All large businesses shall submit a subcontracting plan with their technical and price/cost proposals. The plan should be prepared in accordance with FAR 52.219-9. Failure to submit an acceptable subcontracting plan may make the Offeror ineligible for award of the contract. The submission of the subcontracting plan is in no way advantageous to large businesses over any small business in the evaluation process. (b) Small Disa dvantaged Business (SDB) Utilization Plan. (Applies to all Offerors.) Offerors shall submit a SDB Utilization Plan, to include the following information: (1) Identification of each SDB concern proposed and the work each is to perform.

A “betterment” is defined as any component of system which exceeds the minimum requirements st ated in the Request For Proposal.
