Past performance evaluations will be retrieved through the Government's Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and managed through the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). PPIRS is the primary source of information on past performance. Performance evaluations for any significant subconsultants may also be considered. The evaluation will also consider past performance information from other sources. The relevancy of past performance information will be considered. The more relevant the information, the more weight it carries. NOTE: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorable or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)).

Any credible, documented information on past performance may be submitted, but the Government is not required to seek other information on past performance if none is available through PPIRS. (Note: Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) can be submitted to provide or supplement a firms past performance with other than U.S. Governmental clients. (d) Capacity of the firm to accomplish work in the required time. Firms will be evaluated on their capacity to accomplish multiple task orders simultaneously in multiple locations.

Completion within the project schedule validates the engagement of sufficient and efficient staff and subcontractors. (e) Knowledge of the locality of the projects Firms will be evaluated on specific familiarity with the site conditions in Hawaii and the POH AOR. The intent is to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of local conditions, including the physical environment, local engineering criteria, local construction methods, and construction market conditions. SF330 Requirement: The basis of evaluation for this criterion will focus on the information provided in SF330, Part I, Section E (Resume of Key Personnel), item 19 (Relevant Projects). Information presented shall demonstrate general understanding of the local conditions listed above, based on specific work experience. SECONDARY selection criteria, to be used as - tie-breakers among technically equal firms, are listed in descending order of importance as follows: (f) Geographic proximity in relation to the location of the work. Firms will be evaluated based on their main office's physical proximity to Hawaii, the closer the higher the rating. (g) Volume of recent DoD contract awards. The objective of this criteria is to effect an equitable distribution of DoD AE contracts among qualified firms. Specify the total volume of work awarded to the firm by a DoD agency within twelve (12) months of the closing of this announcement.

Specific detail regarding the content of the SF330 is provided in the preceding paragraphs. No more than five (5) example projects shall be listed in Section F of the SF330. An Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) listed in Section F will not qualify as a project; however, individual projects (no more than 2) awarded as IDC task orders will be considered. Additional example projects, if listed in Section H, will not be evaluated. SF330s will be sent to: U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS HONOLULU DISTRICT ATTN: CONTRACTING DIVISION BUILDING 230 FORT SHAFTER, HAWAII 96858-5440. Request for Proposal No. W9128A20R0008 shall be utilized to solicit a proposal from the firm selected. This is not a request for a price proposal. 5.
