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.

Factor 7: PAST PERFORMANCE - Contents

Submit Past Performance information for the same projects submitted under Project Experience (Factor 3) using the attached Past Performance Questionnaire. Information may be regarding the offeror's firm and/or its proposed major subcontractors performing key trades and/or 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 Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (www.cpars.gov) evaluation reports exist for projects submitted under Project Experience (Factor 3) offerors are to include these in their past performance section of their Technical Proposal instead of obtaining Past Performance Questionnaire responses from customers. Submittal process for the Past Performance Questionnaire is as follows:

1. Complete Section A (Contractor Information) and B (Contract Information) 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 email addresses and point of contacts noted in Section E. of the questionnaire by the due date and time for proposal receipt.

2. Submit copies of the questionnaire that you forwarded to your references with their questionnaire Section C (Reference) point of contact information in Technical Proposal Volume I.

3. Submit a narrative disclosing any instances of past performance that may be considered less than fully satisfactory. Describe pertinent facts, circumstances and any remedial action taken or to be taken to correct the deficiency. Failure to disclose such instances could result in an unfavorable assessment of the offeror's past performance record.

The offeror shall be responsible for any follow-up communication required to ensure that all the forms are completed by the reference and are emailed to the NPS point of contacts no later than the date and time proposals are due.

Fill out only Sections A & B of the Past Performance Questionnaire and forward to your reference for completion. Your reference must complete the form and submit to the Contracting Officer and the Contract Specialist, not the offeror to receive credit for this requirement. Please ensure that a copy of the form you provided your reference is included in your proposal and the CO/CS will replace with the filled form once received by your reference. A Past Performance Questionnaire is not required if a CPARS is provided in your proposal submission package; however, the CO/CS will verify that the CPARS action is completed in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS).

Factor 7: PAST PERFORMANCE – Evaluation Factor The TEP will evaluate past performance of offerors on projects provided in the Project Experience section (FACTOR 3) 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 (Factor 3) 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.

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.
