Additional submission requirements: At least one (1) relevant self-performed construction project shall have a construction cost (for HVAC system scope only) of $2,000,000 or above.

At least one (1) project demonstrating self-performed construction experience with boiler/chiller plant replacement or modernization. At least one (1) relevant self-performed construction project shall demonstrate the Offeror’s experience in design-build (see definition) construction of a HVAC system. At least one (1) project demonstrating construction experience with installation of Digital Direct Controls or Energy Management Control Systems on a HVAC system. Experience of a subcontractor will be allowed for this specific project experience only.

For joint ventures or mentor-protégé agreements (MPA), provide the required information for each entity in the joint venture or MPA. NAVFAC may make an acquisition strategy determination that excludes contractors that do not submit the required information or contractors with unexplained high DART or TCR rates from the pool of sufficiently qualified contractors. In sections where recent experience is requested, all experience will be evaluated for market research purposes only. Firms are advised that while experience older than seven (7) years or not yet 100% complete may demonstrate capability to perform the scope of work, it may not indicate that the firm could be competitive during a future solicitation where only the most recent seven (7) years of experience will be accepted. NAVFAC may make an acquisition strategy determination based on the likelihood that a sufficient pool of qualified contractors will be competitive on a future solicitation.
