A specific project is a single project or a single task order under an indefinite quantity contract or on-call type contract. “Recent” is defined as having been 100% completed within the five years prior to the submission due date. All projects shall have a minimum construction cost of $100,000. Projects which do not meet these requirements may not be considered relevant. Utilize the attached Sources Sought Contractor Information Form , for each of the projects submitted for experience evaluation, provide the following: title and location award and completion dates contract or subcontract value type of work for overall project and type of work your company self-performed current customer information including point of contact, phone number, and email address whether the work was performed as a prime or subcontractor description of the work that was self-performed by your company, including the percentage of contract value your company self-performed. “Self-perform” refers to your firm performing 50% of the total cost of relevant all other specialty trade construction work in-house without subcontractors on a project.

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 five 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 five 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.
