All contractors are advised that a Unique Entity Identifier is required prior to award.� Contractors must complete the registration in System for Award Management (SAM) Database by selecting �Entity Information�.� Failure to register in the SAM Database may render your firm ineligible for award. For more information, check the SAM Web site (https://www.sam.gov) Entity Information section. The awarded contract will be subject to specific provisions addressing the avoidance of organizational conflicts of interest. The selected firm, its subsidiaries or affiliates that design or prepare specifications for a construction contract cannot provide the construction services for the same contract.� This includes concept design, which includes preparation of project programming documents (DD1391), facility siting studies, environmental assessments, or other activities that result in identification of project scope and cost. The prime firm and sub-consultants for this contract will be required to perform throughout the contract term and any substitutions will require Contracting Officer�s prior approval.

Elaborate presentations are not desired. SELECTION CRITERIA: Firms responding to this synopsis will be evaluated to determine the most highly qualified firms to perform the required services in accordance with the published selection criteria.� Failure to comply with instructions, or provide complete information may affect the firm�s evaluation or disqualify the firm from further consideration.� Evaluation and selection of the most highly qualified firm will be based on the following selection criteria, listed in descending order of importance: Firm�s Specialized Experience Professional Qualifications Past Performance Program Management and Capacity and Location Quality Control Program Volume of Work Criterion 1 - Specialized Experience (SF330, Part I, Section F): Firms will be evaluated on specialized experience in performance of services similar to those anticipated under this contract through evaluation of experience in: Development of DB and DDB construction contracts on Foreign Military Bases and in conformance with UFC 1-201-01 and International Building Codes (IBC) required by the local Municipality. Development of DD1391�s and construction cost estimates in foreign countries Development of Engineering Assessments and Due Diligence Reports for facilities designed and constructed by foreign country Architects and Engineers. Firms may be considered more favorably by demonstrating the following: Design experience for facilities in underdeveloped rural locations with deteriorating infrastructure. Specialized relevant and recent experience in the provision of the services for the U.S. DoD Agencies. Specialized relevant and recent experience on projects located in Thailand, Philippines, and other Southeast Asia and Oceania Areas. Specialized relevant and recent experience as the prime firm or Joint Venture partner may be considered more favorable than specialized relevant and recent experience as a subcontractor on a project. Proposed team members (i.e. prime contractor, subcontractors, Joint Venture (JV) members, Limited Liability Company (LLC) members, and Limited Liability Partners (LLP) partners) with a demonstrated history of working together on prior projects may be considered more favorably than those without such history. Specialized experience of an A-E subcontractor to a construction contractor, serving as the Designer-of-Record on a DB project, will not be given the same level of consideration as an A-E firm for a DBB project. Submission requirements: Provide a maximum of five (5) completed design projects with construction costs between $500,000 and $2,000,000 US Dollars completed within the past seven (7) years immediately preceding the date of issuance of this notice that best demonstrate specialized experience of the proposed team in the areas outlined above. Sufficient information to determine the date of design completion of the project must be included in the project description or the project will not be considered. If more than the maximum number of projects are submitted, the Government will only evaluate projects up to the maximum number authorized in the order submitted. All projects provided in the SF330 must be completed by the actual office/branch/regional office/individual team member proposed to manage and perform work under this contract. Projects not meeting this requirement will be excluded from consideration in the evaluation. To enable verification, firms should include the Unique Entity Identifier�number along with each firm name in the SF330 Part 1, Section F, block 25, �Firm Name� Include a contract number or project identification number in block 21.

In block 24, include in the project description the contract period of performance, award contract value, current contract value, and a summary of the work performed that demonstrates relevance to specialized experience as outlined above. For projects performed as a subcontractor or a joint venture involving different partners, specifically indicate the value of the work performed as a subcontractor or by those firms proposed for this contract, and identify the specific roles and responsibilities performed as a subcontractor or by those firms on the project rather than the work performed on the project as a whole.� If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the entity/entities offering/teaming on this contract, the project could be eliminated from consideration. NOTE: If the firm is a joint venture, projects performed by the joint venture should be submitted; however, if there are no projects performed by the joint venture, projects may be submitted for either joint venture partner, not to exceed a total of three (3) projects. Firms shall clearly identify the percentage of work performed for each project by each joint venture partner. The percentage of work performed is based on the total price of a project, including any modifications. Projects shall be submitted on the SF-330 at Part I, Section F and shall be completed projects. Projects not completed will be excluded from evaluation consideration. For submittal purposes, a task order on an IDIQ contract is considered a project, as is a stand-alone contract award.
