BASIS FOR AWARD

1. The Government will conduct a source selection using the Best Value Continuum Tradeoff Process defined at

FAR Part 15.1. The Contracting Officer (CO) will obligate and award a contract to the offeror who submits a proposal the Source Selection Authority (SSA) determines conforms to solicitation requirements; is fair and reasonable; and provides the best value to the government considering all evaluation factors combined as detailed below. For this acquisition, the CO is the SSA.

2. The Government may accept other than the lowest priced proposal when the perceived benefits of a higher priced proposal merit the price differential.

3. Additionally, pursuant to FAR 52.215-1(f), Contract Award, contained herein:

• The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government’s interest.

• The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals received.

• The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors

(except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the CO later determines them to be necessary.

EVALUATION FACTORS

RELATIVE IMPORTANCE: SUBFACTOR 1A – Project Experience is the most important factor followed in descending order of importance by SUBFACTOR 1B – Construction Schedule & Technical Approach, by SUBFACTOR 1C – Key Personnel & Key Trades, by SUBFACTOR 1D – Safety; and by SUBFACTORY 1E – Management Approach. The rating scheme for Technical Subfactors 1A-1E is adjectival. FACTOR 2, Past Performance is less important than Technical Subfactors 1A – 1E when combined, and its rating scheme is adjectival.

Overall: All evaluation factors other than price when combined are significantly more important than price.

Factor 2: PAST PERFORMANCE Submit Past Performance information for the same projects submitted under Project Experience (subfactor 1A) using the attached Past Performance Questionnaire. Information may be regarding the offeror's firm and/or its proposed subcontractors performing key trades and other construction activities. Subcontractor past performance will only be considered if it correlates to the work the subcontractor will be performing on this requirement. If available, offerors may submit a Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) evaluation report in lieu of the Past Performance Questionnaire. Submittal process for the Past Performance Questionnaire is as follows:

Complete Sections I and II only of the attached Past Performance Questionnaire and forward to your client reference. The reference shall be someone who was substantially involved with the project and can provide a complete, objective assessment of your performance. Direct them to complete and submit the survey to the address and point of contact in paragraph B above by the due date and time for proposal receipt.

Factor 2: PAST PERFORMANCE (continued) The TEP will evaluate past performance of offerors on projects provided in the Project Experience section (SUBFACTOR 1A) and on contracts with the Federal Government, other public agencies, or private organizations. Past performance demonstrating higher levels of success and quality on more relevant projects similar in scope and magnitude to this solicitation present lower levels of risk and will be more favorably rated.

Projects that are more relevant to the requirements of this solicitation will be given more weight in the overall past performance rating. Project Experience ratings (SUBFACTOR 1A) will be considered in determining relevancy for projects submitted under this factor. If an offeror has no past performance on similar work relevant to this solicitation, they will be evaluated neither favorably nor unfavorably. All submitted references may not be contacted. Sources other than submitted references may be contacted.

Past performance on contracts with the Federal Government, other public agencies, or private organizations will be considered. All submitted references may not be contacted. Sources other than submitted references may be contacted.

During proposal evaluations, exchanges between the Government and offerors may occur to clarify the relevance of past performance information and/or address adverse past performance information which an offeror has not yet had an opportunity to respond to.

Factor 3: SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION All offerors (both other than small businesses and small businesses) shall submit Small Business Participation documentation that address the evaluation criteria defined in the Small Business Participation factor contained in section M of this solicitation.

All offerors (both other than small businesses and small businesses) will be evaluated on the extent of proposed participation/commitment to use U.S. small businesses in the performance of this acquisition (as small business prime offerors or small business subcontractors) relative to the objectives and requirements established herein.

Small business offerors will receive the maximum credit for this evaluation factor and do not need to submit any documentation supporting this evaluation factor. The Government will evaluate the following to determine if the offeror met or exceeded the requirements:

The extent to which firms as defined in FAR Part 19, are specifically identified in proposals The extent to which offerors demonstrate substantive commitment to small business firms, such as, letters of commitment, Joint Ventures, mentor/protégé agreements, or other demonstrations of commitment (i.e., binding commitments will become enforceable/contractual requirements)

Identification of the type and variety of the work small firms are to perform (i.e., binding commitments will become enforceable/contractual requirements)

Factor 3: SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION (continued) The extent of participation of small business prime offerors and small business subcontractors in terms of the value of the total acquisition (total contract value) (i.e., binding commitments will become enforceable/contractual requirements)

The extent to which the offeror provides detailed explanations/documentation supporting the proposed quantitative participation

Extent to which the offeror complied with requirements of FAR 52.219-8, Utilization of Small Business Concerns (i.e., binding commitments will become enforceable/contractual requirements)

Extent to which the offeror complied with requirements of FAR 52.219-9 Small Business Subcontracting Plan (when applicable) (i.e., binding commitments will become enforceable/contractual requirements)

The Government will evaluate the proposal to determine which offeror proposes the best value in terms of Small Business Participation. Offers submitted by a small business prime offeror will also be evaluated and will receive the maximum score for this evaluation criteria.
