NOTE: Specialized recent experience and technical competence of prime firm or prime firms particular key personnel will be given more consideration than that of subconsultants. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: SF330, Part 1, Section F. The A-E should provide a maximum of ten (10) completed projects. If more than ten (10) projects are provided, only the first ten (10) will be considered. Projects located throughout the Pacific AOR will be evaluated more favorably. Criterion (3) Past Performance: A-E firms will be evaluated on the projects documented in selection criterion (2) above with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules shall be provided. Past performance information not related to the projects described to meet selection criterion (2) will not be considered. The A-E shall provide ACASS performance documentation or similar for each project. If an ACASS performance documentation or similar for each project is not available, provide a Performance Survey (download from the NECO website) and submit the Survey with the SF330). The Performance Survey shall be from the contracting agent and/or their representative responsible for the contract administration, or from the facility owner/user. It shall not be from the prime contractor on a project nor shall it be from a prime contractor to a subcontractor. If the A-E received any less than satisfactory past performance evaluations from customers/owners, it is incumbent upon the A-E to provide an explanation of the rating and what the A-E has done or will do to preclude less than satisfactory ratings on future contracts. In evaluating past performance, the Government may consider information in the A-E’s SF330 and information gathered from other sources including former customers, Government agencies, federal databases and other references. The info provided by the A-E may provide the major portion of the information used in the Governments evaluation for past performance. The Government, however, is not restricted to the information provided by the Offeror and may use other sources to assess past performance info such as the Past Performance Info Retrieval System (PPIRS), A-E Contract Administration Support System (ACASS), and inquiries with previous customers/owners. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENT: SF330, Part 1, Section H. If an A-E is utilizing past performance information of affiliates/subsidiaries/parent /LLC/LTD member companies, the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract in order for the past performance info of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies to be considered. The proposal shall state specific commitments of technical resources (e.g. personnel, equipment) that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies will commit to the performance of this contract. In particular, the proposal will clearly state the specific commitments of resources of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member that will perform the contract requirements. The SF330 shall also describe specific roles of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies in terms of the work it will either self-perform or manage on behalf of the A-E for future task orders in performance of the contract. (c) A subcontractors or subconsultants past performance will not be given the same level of consideration as either the prime contractor or the joint venture partner because there is no direct legal relationship between the Government and the subcontractor/subconsultant. The Government will consider the past performance and experience of a subcontractor/subconsultant where the prime contractor provides, in its SF330, evidence of a binding teaming agreement or other contractual agreement which creates legal responsibility on the part of the prime contractor and the subcontractor/subconsultant to enter into a subcontract. However, the level of consideration will depend on the extent to which the proposal demonstrates the prime contractors commitment to award a subcontract to the subcontractor/subconsultant and subcontractors/subconsultants commitment to enter into a subcontract with the prime contractor, including legal accountability for both parties. (d) Prime contractor-subcontractor/subconsultant teams/Joint Ventures/LLCs/LTDs with a demonstrated history of working successfully together on prior projects may be considered more favorably than those without such history.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: SF330, Part 1, Section H. Indicate the number of DoD contracts or task orders and the respective award amounts for each performed by the A-E firm within the past 12 months.
