The type of fire protection system could include, but is not limited to, various hydraulically designed sprinkler systems, interior fire alarm systems, exterior radio fire alarm systems, mass notification systems, fire pumps, foam systems, gaseous extinguishing systems (carbon dioxide, Halon, FM-200, Inergen, etc.), fire detection systems, dry chemical systems, etc. The type of fire protection design features could include but are not limited to life safety analysis, building code analysis, including water flow testing at proposed project sites, etc. The services may involve new construction and repair and maintenance in various NAVFAC Pacific locations. The services may include military construction (MILCON) projects involving all architecture and engineering disciplines. If asbestos or hazardous materials exist, the A-E contractor shall identify and provide for their disposal in the required documents in accordance with applicable rules and regulations pertaining to such hazardous materials. The selected A-E may be required to participate in a pre-fee meeting within seven days of notification and provide a fee proposal within ten days of the meeting. Evaluation and selection of the most highly qualified firm will be based on the selection criteria stated herein. The A-E must demonstrate its and each key consultant �s qualifications with respect to the published selection criteria for all services. The following selection criteria 1 thru 9 are listed below in descending order of importance: (1)Professional Qualifications (e.g. education, experience, professional registrations) of Key Personnel assigned to this contract for the type of work addressed in Selection Criterion 2: A-E firms will be evaluated in terms of the related qualifications and experience of the Key Personnel proposed to accomplish this work. Professional qualifications of Key Personnel proposed must be registered professional fire protection engineers who passed the fire protection engineering written examination administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveys (NCEES). Individuals identified as Key Personnel are individuals who will be dedicated staff and have major contract or project management responsibilities and/or will provide specific expertise on this contract. Full complement of architecture and engineering disciplines shall be included on the design team to accomplish MILCON projects, including architectural, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, cost estimator and specification writer. Please submit the names of these subconsultants, but do not submit resumes. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: SF330, Part 1, Section E. Provide a list of names of each proposed Key Personnel to be assigned to this contract. Identify and describe their professional registration or qualifications, role expected to play in this contract, and roles they performed in similar projects similar to those listed in Selection Criterion 2. Resumes for Key Personnel are limited to two (2) pages each and shall include project specific information that clearly set forth the role and experience the individual had in performing the contract. Any pages over this limit will not be considered. (2)Specialized Experience (within the past 5 years) and Technical Competence: Specialized recent experience and technical competence of Key Personnel proposed for design and analysis of fire protection systems design experience on equivalent type projects or project elements. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: SF330, Part 1, Section F. Provide a list of projects (within the past 5 years) where the Key Personnel had a major role or part in the engineering design or services. Each project shall have a description of work which clearly demonstrates the type of engineering systems involved and the type of engineering services provided. A �project � is defined as either a stand-alone contract or a single task order under an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Projects located throughout the Pacific AOR (area of responsibility) will be evaluated more favorably. If the firm was a subcontractor on the project, the offeror should specifically address the work performed by the firm. If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the offeror, the project will be evaluated less favorably. (3)Past Performance: A-E firms will be evaluated on the fire protection projects documented in selection criterion (2) above with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules shall be provided. Past performance information not related to the projects described to meet selection criterion (2) will not be considered. The A-E shall provide ACASS performance documentation or similar for each project. If an ACASS performance documentation or similar for each project is not available, provide a Performance Survey (download from NECO website) and submit the Survey with the SF330). The Performance Survey shall be from the contracting agent and/or their representative responsible for the contract administration, or from the facility owner/user. It shall not be from the prime contractor on a project nor shall it be from a prime contractor to a subcontractor. If the AE received any less than satisfactory past performance evaluations from customers/owners, it is incumbent upon the AE to provide an explanation of the rating and what the AE has done or will do to preclude less than satisfactory ratings on future contracts.. In evaluating past performance, the Government may consider information in the A-E �s SF-330 and information gathered from other sources including former customers, Government agencies, federal databases and other references. The info provided by the A-E may provide the major portion of the information used in the Government's evaluation for past performance. The Government, however, is not restricted to the information provided by the Offeror and may use other sources to assess past performance info such as the Past Performance Info Retrieval System (PPIRS), A-E Contract Administration Support System (ACASS), and inquiries with previous customers/owners. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENT: SF330, Part 1, Section H. If an A-E is utilizing past performance information of affiliates/subsidiaries/parent /LLC/LTD member companies, the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract in order for the past performance info of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies to be considered. The proposal shall state specific commitments of technical resources (e.g. personnel, equipment) that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies will commit to the performance of this contract. In particular, the proposal will clearly state the specific commitments of resources of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member that will perform the contract requirements. The SF-330 shall also describe specific roles of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies in terms of the work it will either self-perform or manage on behalf of the A-E for future task orders in performance of the contract. (c) A subcontractor's or subconsultant's past performance will not be given the same level of consideration as either the prime contractor or the joint venture partner because there is no direct legal relationship between the Government and the subcontractor/subconsultant. The Government will consider the past performance and experience of a subcontractor/subconsultant where the prime contractor provides, in its SF-330, evidence of a binding teaming agreement or other contractual agreement which creates legal responsibility on the part of the prime contractor and the subcontractor/subconsultant to enter into a subcontract. However, the level of consideration will depend on the extent to which the proposal demonstrates the prime contractor's commitment to award a subcontract to the subcontractor/subconsultant and subcontractor's/subconsultant's commitment to enter into a subcontract with the prime contractor, including legal accountability for both parties. (d) Prime contractor-subcontractor/subconsultant teams/Joint Ventures/LLCs/LTDs with a demonstrated history of working successfully together on prior projects may be considered more favorably than those without such history. (4)Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time: SUBMISSION REQUIREMENT: SF330, Part 1, Section H (this criterion shall be addressed by prime only in lieu of by individual subconsultants). Describe the proposed team �s ability to complete several large and small task orders concurrently requiring quick turnaround.

The Government will evaluate proposals based on two sub-criteria; Sub-criteria A - Past performance in utilization of small business concerns. Firms will be evaluated on the extent to which small businesses were utilized, and that assigned small business goals were achieved on previous contracts and/or on the extent that small businesses were utilized on projects in which no goals were assigned. Firms shall provide historical data on utilization of SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone, VOSB, SDVOSB, and HBCU/MI. Large Business offerors shall submit three (3) final or most recent Individual Subcontracting Reports (ISRs) for similar contracts of relative size. If ISRs are not final or most recent, they will not be considered. If subcontracting goals on the submitted ISRs were not met, provide an explanation for each missed goal. If ISRs were not applicable to the similar contracts noted, submit other documentation which demonstrates utilization of the various small business category firms for the contracts. If small businesses were not utilized, provide a detailed explanation. A sample template for subcontracting history for newly established large businesses or large businesses with no prior ISR history is provided as Attachment 1. Small business offerors shall submit documentation which shows utilization of the various small business category firms for similar contracts of relative size.
