Two-Step Sealed Bid Solicitation

Earth Covered Magazine (ECM) Munitions Storage Facilities Roof Repair

Step 1: Request for Technical Proposals

FA489724RC002

Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 14.5, this document is a Request for Technical Proposals (RTP), step one of a two-step sealed bid solicitation for the acquisition of Munitions Storage Facilities ECM Roof Repairs.

Required components of technical proposals are outlined in Part III of this document. Offerors should submit technical proposals that are acceptable without additional explanation or information. The Government may make a final determination regarding a proposal’s acceptability solely on the basis of the proposal as submitted. The Government may proceed with the second step without requesting further information from any offeror; however, the Government may request additional information from offerors of proposals that it considers reasonably susceptible of being made acceptable and may discuss proposals with their offerors.

Each offeror may submit multiple technical proposals, though a maximum of one proposal per offeror may be chosen by the Government for step two of the two-step sealed bid process. Offerors are cautioned against submitting multiple technical proposals that have large differences in prices between them, since step two will be awarded on a low bid basis.

The Government will forward a notice of unacceptability to an offeror when, upon completion of the proposal evaluation, there is a final determination of unacceptability. This will be done in accordance with the dates outlined in Part I below.

In the second step of this two-step sealed bid solicitation process, only those offerors whose technical proposals were determined to be acceptable, either initially, or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award and allowed to place priced bids. Bids in the second step will be evaluated based on price. Each bid in the second step must be based on the bidder’s own technical proposals.

The written technical proposal shall be clear, concise, and include all the information in sufficient detail for effective evaluation. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume the Government has no prior knowledge of their capabilities, work processes, facilities, and experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror’s technical proposal.

3. Past performance history.

The offeror shall submit sufficient recent and relevant past performance information to assess the offeror’s ability to successfully complete this project in accordance with the attached Statement of Work. Past performance history should not exceed three (3) pages and is not required to be submitted on a separate document as the written technical proposal.

4. Site visit attendance and base access information.

A pre-proposal site visit will be held on 12 April 2024 at 0900. Offerors must submit full names, driver’s license numbers, company name, and vehicle type (personal or commercial vehicle) of all attendees to the contracting officer and contract specialist no later than 1200 MDT on 11 April 2024. Personal vehicles will be permitted to enter the main visitor’s gate, but commercial vehicles will be redirected to the commercial vehicle gate. It is important the contracting officer knows what type of vehicle your attendee(s) will be driving so that base access can be properly coordinated.

Offerors who are invited to submit a priced bid during Step 2 of this two-step sealed bidding will be required to furnish a bid guarantee IAW FAR 28.101-1(a). Bid guarantees are not required for the Request for Technical Proposals step of this solicitation.

Part III Evaluation Criteria

This acquisition will be evaluated IAW FAR Part 14.

1. Technical Factor.

As used in this context, the word "technical" has a broad connotation and includes, among other things, the engineering approach, special manufacturing processes, and special testing techniques.

Each offeror’s written technical proposal shall be evaluated to determine if the offeror provides a sound, compliant approach that meets the requirements of the Statement of Work and demonstrates a thorough knowledge and understanding of those requirements and their associated risks. If no risks/mitigations are identified in the offeror’s proposal, it indicates the offeror does not consider there to be any risk associated with their proposed approach.

2. Past Performance.

For purposes of this evaluation, recency is defined as active or completed efforts performed within the past three (3) years from the issuance date of this solicitation. Relevancy is determined by examining factors such as the similarity of past projects to the current one in terms of size, scope, technical complexity, geographic location, and any other pertinent characteristics.

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s demonstrated record of contract compliance completing similar projects, including adherence to cost and schedule. The recency and relevancy of the information, the source of the information, context of the data and general trends in the contractor’s performance will be considered. In addition to the past performance provided by the contractor, the contracting officer may use all relevant information available to him or her to determine past performance (e.g. CPARS). Lack of past performance history will not result in an unacceptable rating.
