The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Fort Worth District is seeking to create a Prequalified Sources List for horizontal construction projects in support of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Border Infrastructure Program in the states of California, Arizona and Texas. The Prequalified Sources List will be available for use while other acquisitions are underway for similar requirements. It is anticipated that use of the Prequalified Sources List will occur for up to 18 months after the list is established, and possibly longer. The Prequalified Sources List will be used as a vehicle to solicit several stand-alone "C" type construction contracts with a total value of up to approximately $1.8B. Only firms on the Prequalified Sources List will be eligible to compete for these solicitations. The Border Infrastructure projects that are likely to advertised to the firms on the Prequalified Sources List include a mix of border fence, border patrol roads, border access roads, border lights, border gates (for access to border monuments, for maintenance, and for Border Patrol operational use), border drainage improvements, levee walls, and other miscellaneous improvements, repairs, and alterations. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for procurements offered to firms on the Prequalified Sources list is 237310, Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction, which has a small business size standard of $36.5M. Bonding Requirements (Specific to Individual "C" type Contracts to be Awarded): Pursuant to the Miller Act, Performance and Payment bonds shall be provided for each project awarded under the Prequalified Sources List. Notice to Proceed (NTP), will not be issued until after the selected offeror provides sufficient bonding to cover the work required as communicated under the project solicitation. Process for Qualification: The Prequalified Sources List will be established by Fort Worth District. The DHS projects intended to be awarded via solicitation to the Prequalified Sources List may be awarded by Fort Worth District, Albuquerque District, Galveston District, or Los Angeles District. An industry day conference will be held via webinar approximately 10 days after this announcement is posted and will be open to parties interested in being considered for inclusion in the Prequalified Sources List.

For Federal projects submitted, the Offeror should submit finalized CCASS or CPARS reports, otherwise the customer reference(s) and contract information in response to the FBO questionnaire will be considered for the Offeror and its team members. The Government may contact the Offeror's provided project reference to evaluate the overall level of satisfaction. References identified in 3e may be asked to comment on items such as quality of service, timeliness, adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance, management of the work, subcontract management, including timely payment to subcontractors or suppliers, ability to resolve problems quickly and effectively, safety, relations between the owner and contractor, level of support, and professional and accurate communication exchanges. Past Performance information (e.g. CCASS or CPARS reports) submitted by offerors under Factor 4 will be considered and verified. The Selection Panel will be provided any relevant past performance information from Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture or teaming arrangement) identified in the offeror's responses, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror. All complete submissions will be evaluated by a Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB). All offerors rated as Acceptable by the SSEB for all eight factors will be placed on the Prequalified Sources List and will receive fair opportunity to compete for each action solicited from the established Prequalified Sources List. As noted, the purpose of the Prequalified Sources List is to facilitate solicitation of several specific standalone "C" type contracts. All such contracts solicited from the Prequalified Sources List are expected to be Design-Build (DB). Responses submitted to the Prequalification of Sources Questionnaire and associated narrative responses will be used to determine qualification for the Prequalified Sources List, but may also be used in Phase I of the two-step DB selection process for contracts solicited from the Prequalified Sources List. Project-Specific Phase I Solicitation Procedures: 1. The Government will provide all firms on the Prequalified Sources List notification of its intent to advertise a requirement. The notification will include a brief summary of the requirement, specific evaluation criteria for Phase I, general information about the evaluation criteria that will be used for the Phase II solicitation, and a request for each firm to provide the Government with responses to the evaluation criteria and a positive or negative statement of interest in proposing on the project. 2. The firms will be provided a closing date by which they must respond to the Phase I notification of intent for each project. Any pre-qualified firm that fails to respond to the notification of intent within the allowed time with all required information will not be considered for award. 3. After the specified closing date for receipt of interest, the Government will evaluate each firm's competitive qualifications based on the responses to the Phase I notification of intent, which will represent Phase I of the two-phase selection process. 4. Project-specific Phase II Request for Proposals (RFPs) will be sent to the five (5) most highly rated firms in the Phase I evaluation. The Government reserves the right to send project-specific Phase II RFPs to more or less than the five most highly rated firms in the Phase I evaluation. 5. Any prequalified firm that responded to the Phase I evaluation criteria and was not one of the firms provided with project-specific Phase II RFP may request a debriefing from the contracting officer. Project Specific Phase 2 Solicitation Procedures: 1. The due date for receipt of proposals will generally be 30 days after issuance of an RFP. A Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) composed of individuals with relevant technical expertise will evaluate all technical proposals received in response to the RFP. An attorney shall be a non-voting member. The Deputy for the Office of Small Business Programs (D, OSBP) may serve as an advisor to the SSEB and the Small Business Administration (SBA) Procurement Center Representative (PCR) may serve as an advisor to the SSEB for review and evaluation of the submitted small business participation plans and subcontracting plans. All voting members of the SSEB will independently review each technical proposal, prepare a technical analysis of each proposal, and assign an appropriate adjectival rating for each factor and performance risk. A price analysis will be completed and a cost analysis may be completed if determined to be necessary. 2. The Best Value Trade-off (BVTO) solicitations shall also state, at minimum, whether all evaluation factors other than price, when combined are (1) significantly more important that cost or price; (2) approximately equal to cost or price; (3) significantly less important that cost or price (10 USC 2305(A)(iii) and 41 USC 3306(c)(1)(c)). 3. A Source Selection Advisory Council (SSAC) shall be convened for all contracts over $100M and any other occasion that it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. 4. The Source Selection Authority (SSA) will review the SSEB technical analysis and the SSACs comparative analysis (when applicable), but the award decision will represent the SSA's independent judgment of best value to the Government. The SSA's decision shall be based on a comparative assessment of all proposals against all evaluation criteria contained in the solicitation. The SSA's decision will be documented in a Source Selection Decision Document (SSDD) and will include the rationale for any business judgments and trade-offs made or relied on by the SSA including benefits associated with any additional costs. 5. The selected proposal will be awarded using BVTO procedures. The RFP may state an intention to award based on initial offers received without discussions. However, the Government will reserve the right to enter discussions if it is determined to be in the Governments best interest.
