PROJECT INFORMATION: �This procurement is seeking AE services as defined in 40 U.S.C. 1101 and FAR 2.101. Mobile District was designated in 2017 as the Program Manager for the Builder SMS Program for the Installation Management Command (IMCOM). The services to be provided are for timely and cost-effective responses to support the Mobile District Builder SMS Program at various Army Installations and Sites. AE services will be performed primarily at federal and military installations within the Continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Korea, Japan, the Pacific, and Europe. Some sites will require Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) clearance. The MATOCs are intended to provide a full range of comprehensive support for the Builder SMS Implementation and Sustainment program. Comprehensive support will be for general planning services for Builder, specific planning support for Builder projects, program/project coordination, and management. Firms may be required for Builder administration to include organization, communication, tracking, execution, and reporting. Services include but are not limited to: providing Builder SMS program planning and support; providing Builder project level planning and support; coordination of program requirements with stakeholders; providing work planning support; providing onsite and offsite technical expertise; providing planning, evaluation and assessment services; input, analyze, and export information in the Builder Database; managing program documentation and revisions based on Agency policies; developing multimedia Builder products and reports; conduct coordination meeting, in-briefs, out-briefs, and planning charrettes; briefing leadership on mission execution and compliance status; preparing reports on program compliance status and corrective action measures; and perform quality control of program/project deliverables.�� SELECTION CRITERIA:� The source selection factors for this procurement are listed below in descending order of importance. Factors 1 through 6 are primary. Factor 7 is secondary and will only be used as a tie-breaker among technically equal firms. Primary factors will be assigned a rating from �outstanding� to �unsatisfactory�, based on the risk to the Government that the Offeror will successfully perform that evaluated factor. An overall rating will also be applied to the proposal submission using the same rating scale. Proposals failing to respond or provide complete information for each factor, as required by this solicitation, will be determined non-compliant and will be removed from further consideration. After all ratings have been assigned, Offerors will be ranked as �Most Highly Qualified,� �Highly Qualified,� and �Not Qualified� in accordance with EP 715-1-7 Architect-Engineer Contracting In USACE. For purposes of this solicitation, a stand-alone contract (such as a �C� or �P�-type contract) or single task order under an Indefinite Delivery Contract 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. Projects in which the AE Service is not 100% complete will not be evaluated. Factor 1.� Professional Qualifications (SF330, Part I, Section E) Part A � Resumes of Key Personnel (Section E, Blocks 12 � 18):� Offerors must have, either in-house or through consultants or subcontractors, the disciplines listed below.

The definition of a project is as noted in �Project Information� and �Selection Criteria� above. Relevant projects are those that reflect experience performing the respective discipline. Relevant Project information should be brief and highlight specific roles and tasks performed by the Key Personnel, Project Type, Scope, and Costs. No more than five projects should be listed for each resume, and each project listed must have been 100% complete within five (5) 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 current registration, licensure, certification(s), or specialized training, 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. More weight will be given to experience with Builder SMS projects in support of IMCOM that are 2-million or larger square-feet and that are of scope, magnitude, and complexity similar to that described above in the paragraph titled Project Information. This factor may be assessed Strengths or Weaknesses, as appropriate. Only the Key Personnel disciplines requested in this solicitation will be evaluated.

Factor 2.� Specialized Experience and Technical Competence (Projects) (SF330, Part I, Section F) For Factor 2, Offerors are to demonstrate specialized experience and technical competence which meets the definition of AE Services as defined in 40 U.S.C. 1102 and FAR 2.101. In Section F Offerors are to submit a minimum of six (6) but no more than ten (10) projects that best illustrate the proposed team�s qualifications for award of a contract.� (Note: The projects provided for Factor 1 may also be used to address this factor, however, not by reference only.) The definition of a project is as noted in �Project Information� and �Selection Criteria� above. For each project use only one page and note the contract or task order number, as applicable. The SF330 may be modified in order to meet the Submission Requirements (font size); however, the content of Section F is not to be altered (removal or deletion of required Blocks) and all items within Section F shall be answered completely. Projects in which the AE Service is not 100% complete will not be evaluated. All projects must have been conducted within five (5) years of publication of this solicitation announcement (see Block 22) and must be 100% complete at the publication of this solicitation announcement.� At least six (6) 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 specifically describe the type(s) of work performed and state the percentage they performed of each type of work.� If a proposed subcontractor also worked on the project, state the type(s) and percentage(s) of work it performed.� If an Offeror submits more than six (6) 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. Clearly identify the Project Number (as indicated above), Type and the Offeror�s role on the project. 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. 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 six (6) 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. JV Offerors are not required to submit projects of both partners but more consideration may be given for projects that were performed as a JV. Of the projects submitted as prescribed above, relevant projects are those that reflect the specialized experience and technical competence of the Offeror and/or proposed subcontractor(s), as prime contractors or subcontractors, performing services similar to those described above in the paragraph titled Project Information. More weight will be given to experience with Builder SMS projects in support of IMCOM that are 2-million or larger square-feet and that are of scope, magnitude, and complexity similar to that described above in the paragraph titled Project Information. This factor may be assessed Strengths or Weaknesses, as appropriate. The basis of evaluation for Factor 2 will be information submitted in Part I, Sections F and G. Factor 3.� Specialized Experience and Technical Competence (Technical Capabilities) (SF330, Part I, Section H) In Part I, Section H, the Offeror must provide a proposed work management plan demonstrating its team�s breadth of knowledge and experience with the Builder SMS Program for IMCOM. The narrative should describe the corporate approach, driving criteria or potential constraints, and examples of successful performance. The narrative should specifically discuss knowledge of, and experience with, inventory/inspection assessment; data entry experience; number and roles of prime and subcontractor (broken out by firm) involved with conducting BUILDER assessments by installation; average production rate of square-footage assessed per person; total square feet assessed per year for each DoD stakeholder (broken out by installation); data collection methods and tools used during assessment field work portion for both inside and outside of secure areas. The narrative should also specifically address work management planning to include quality management, subcontractor management, prior experience of the prime firm and any significant consultant, version control management, proactive internal and external communication protocols, electronic systems and/or software used in budget, schedule and quality management, and independent submittal review processes in the context of providing services under multiple task orders. This factor may be assessed Strengths or Weaknesses, as appropriate. Factor 4.� Past Performance (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. Past Performance history is not to be limited to information presented in Factor 2. Past performance can be substantiated by presentation of CPARS or PPQ ratings, or customer ratings from other project evaluation systems. Submission of CPARS or PPQs in their entirety are not required. Customer excerpts or quotes from prior evaluations for the purposes of substantiating the narrative are not desired. The narrative should describe the corporate approach for maintaining success with customer satisfaction with the Offeror's quality of work, cost control and scheduling. 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.� Capacity to Accomplish the Work (SF330, Part I, Section H) All Unrestricted Offerors are to clearly demonstrate the capacity to accomplish at least four (4) $500,000 task orders simultaneously. This factor may be assessed Strengths or Weaknesses, as appropriate.

The narrative should describe the any known features that are unusual of unique to Mobile District�s AOR specifically in support of the Builder SMS Program given pertinent current agency policy, guidance, and regulation. This factor may be assessed Strengths or Weaknesses, as appropriate. Factor 7.� SB and SDB Participation (SF330, Part I, Section H) Offerors shall provide the extent of participation of small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, historically black colleges and universities, and minority institutions. The participation is to be measured as a percentage of the total anticipated contract effort, regardless of whether the small businesses, small, disadvantaged businesses, historically black colleges and universities, or minority institutions are the prime contractor, subcontractor, or joint venture partner; the greater the participation, the greater the consideration. This factor is not to be confused with a formal subcontracting plan. This factor is a secondary criterion and will only be evaluated as a tie-breaker among technically equal firms.� Interviews. �As required by acquisition regulations, interviews for the purpose of discussing prospective contractor qualifications will be conducted by the AE 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.
