General The structure shall be a clear span, frame supported, tension fabric struct ure of modular design with flat ends and roll-up type warehouse doors on each end. There are to be no internal posts or supports. The structure shall be a pre-engineered kit requiring no on-site fabrication or welding to install or relocate. This applies to both structural frame components and fabric. The structure shall be fully relocatable, allowing for disassembly and reuse of all components (except anchors) without additional fabrication or welding of structural components or fabric. Dimensions Because of the equipment ingress and egress requirements of SEABEE CESE equipment, the structure shall have the following external dimensions (within 0.25 feet): Width: 42 feet Center height: 23 feet Length: 50 feet Eave height: 14 feet Frame Specs Frame shall consist of a series of identical arches, with connecting purlins and cables. The arches shall have r ounded eaves and ridge. Frame components for the arches shall be an ?I-beam? design made from extruded corrosion-resistant, lightweight 6061-T6 structural grade aluminum. The extrusion for the arches shall have integral inner and outer rope edge channels to accommodate exterior (weathershell) and interior (liner) tension fabric panels. The extrusion shall be designed to allow rapid attachment or relocation of lighting, rigging and other accessories without drilling or welding. Interchangeability/Modularity. Structural components shall be such that like components can be exchanged within or between like structures. Purlins and shear cables shall be located on the inside of the fabric weathershell. Arches shall be assembled on the ground and tilted up to position after attachment to base plates utilizing a hinge-pin design. All structural fasteners shall be chrome stainless steel SAE 51420. Anchor bolts shall conform to ASTM A325 or ASTM A193, Grade B7. Tek screws and other non-structural attachments shall be of standard commercial quality and finish.

Fabric panels for the bays of the structure shall be designed so the installation and removal can be accomplished with all personnel on the ground. The fabric panels shall become integral with the frame during installation so that unexpected winds during installation cannot ?sail? the fabric away from the frame. To allow for relocation of the structure after the initial installation, fabric welding or heat-sealing shall not be permitted during installation. Weathershell fabric panels and optional inner liner fabric panels shall be capable of being installed, replaced or removed individually with the structure erected and operational. Personnel Doors The structure shall include 2 doors (one double personnel door on one side, and one single personnel door on the other side) equipped with exit hardware.

Commercial Items. The government reserves the right to make either a single or split award for the above noted structures. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose offer is the most advantageous to the government considering price and non-price-related factors. (non-price-related factors are technical capability, past performance, delivery etc.) 52.212-2 EVALUATION OF COMMERCIAL ITEMS--OCT 1995 (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers. (I) TECHNICAL CAPABILITY OF PROPOSED ITEM TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT (ii) PAST PERFORMANCE (iii) PRICE Offerors' proposals will be evaluated first under Factor (i) above, which represents MINIMUM acceptable criteria. Under this factor, products offered will be determined to be either technically acceptable or unacceptable. Failure to meet the minimum criteria for this factor will render the offer to be technically unacceptable and to not be considered for award. See paragraph (b) below. Only those Offers which meet the minimum technical requirements required by Factor (i) will be further evaluated under Factors (ii) and (iii). In the second step of evaluating those offers determined under Factor (i) to be technically acceptable, Factor (ii) is approximately equal to Factor (iii), PRICE. At the discretion of the Contracting Of ficer, the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Each initial offer should, therefore contain the Offeror's best terms from both a price and technical standpoint. (b) TECHNICAL CAPABILITY OF PROPOSED ITEM TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT, Factor (i), will be assessed by evaluating either commercial product brochures or technical information submitted in response to FAR Clause 52.212-1, INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS - COMMERCIAL ITEMS, Subparagraph (b)(4) which is incorporated by reference in this solicitation. Offerors' technical information will be used to determine whether the items proposed meet the specifications included in this solicitation. Items offered, as provided in Offerors' technical information, will be evaluated as technically acceptable or technically unacceptable. Offers which are determined to be technica lly unacceptable may not be considered further for award. (c) Offeror's PAST PERFORMANCE information submitted as required by FAR Clause 52.212-1, INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS - COMMERCIAL ITEMS , Subparagraph (b)(10), will be used to make a determination of whether the offeror has a satisfactory record of past performance. Offerors should, therefore, provide performance history and references to demonstrate satisfactory performance for up to three prior similar contracts performed within the past three years. PAST PERFORMANCE information should be provided on the form provided as an attachment to this solicitation. Information utilized will be obtained from these references as well as any other sources who may have relevant information. Offers which lack relevant past performance history will receive a neutral rating for this factor. Any Offeror's proposal which ha s no relevant past performance history, while rated neutral, may not represent the most advantageous proposal to the Government and thus, may be an unsuccessful proposal when compared to the proposals of other offerors. Relevant Past Performance in this instance is defined as prior experience with the Department of Defense and more specifically but not limited to the U.S. Navy, where similar structures have been provided. The Contracting Officer will evaluate Offeror's PAST PERFORMANCE as follows: NEUTRAL: No relevant past performance available for evaluation. Offeror has asserted that it has no relevant directly related or similar past performance experience. Proposal receives no merit or demerit for this factor. OUTSTANDING: No risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, or of any degradation of performance, or lack of customer satisfaction base d upon offeror's past performance. SATISFACTORY: Very little risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, or of degradation of performance, or lack of customer satisfaction based upon the offeror's past performance. MARGINAL: Significant potential risk anticipated with delivery of quality product, on time, and of degradation of performance based upon the offeror's past performance. (d) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (e) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within th e time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
