For this acquisition, the CO is the SSA.

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

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.

Solicitation Requirements: Evaluation Process All proposal evaluations will be conducted in strict confidence. The number and identifies of offerors and proposal contents will be revealed only to individuals involved in the evaluation process. No information will be revealed to other offerors. The evaluation process is as follows:

Initial Review: Proposals will be reviewed for compliance with the solicitation to verify that all submission requirements are met; all certifications are complete, and the offeror is responsive and otherwise eligible to receive award of a Federal contract. If the proposal does not comply or lacks sufficient information to be meaningfully evaluated, it may be eliminated from further consideration for award.

Non-Price Evaluation: A Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) comprised of Government personnel will conduct a non-price evaluation of proposals. The TEP will review, evaluate, assess risk, and rate all acceptable proposals against the technical factors contained in this solicitation. The TEP will not have knowledge of any pricing until the technical evaluation is complete.

Past Performance Evaluation: The TEP and CO/SSA will also evaluate offerors’ past performance. The evaluation will assess the government’s confidence level for offers to successfully perform contract requirements based on survey responses, PPIRS data, and other pertinent, relevant information.

Price Evaluation: Upon completion of the technical evaluation, the TEP and CO/SSA will review pricing as evaluated in Volume 2 below. The TEP will make an award recommendation to the CO/SSA.

Tradeoff Analysis: The CO/SSA will review the TEP’s award recommendation and independently perform a tradeoff analysis between each proposal’s (1) demonstrated technical advantages, disadvantages, strengths, weaknesses; (2) past performance confidence assessment; and (3) proposed pricing.

Selection: The CO/SSA will select the proposal that provides the overall best value, considering all evaluation factors, to the Government for award. The Government may elect to accept other than the lowest priced proposal when the perceived benefits of a higher priced proposal merit the price differential.

Solicitation Requirements: General Information Technical Proposal: Factors 1 – 5 are listed in descending order of importance.

Past Performance: Past Performance is less important than all Technical Factors combined.

Proposed pricing is an evaluation factor. All evaluation factors other than price, when combined are significantly more important than price.

Optional Line Items 4 through 9 are included in the Price Schedule and the Contracting Officer may unilaterally exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor within 90 days after contract award.

Offerors providing less than 45 calendar days for Government Acceptance after the date offers are due will not be considered and will be rejected.

Submit, at a minimum, an offer that conforms to the solicitation documents. By submission of an offer, the offeror unconditionally assents to the terms and conditions in this solicitation and in any solicitation attachments. Proposals offering alternative stipulations to the requirements of this solicitation will NOT be considered or accepted.

Proposals from or containing firms under these circumstances will not be considered for award.

Project Overview

SITE LOCATION REFERENCE

Project Location: Fort Jefferson is located on Garden Key, Dry Tortugas National Park, 70 miles west of Key West, Florida

SITE SCOPE REVIEW

The work of this contract is for the Repairs to the Fort Jefferson Counterscarp and to Perform Dredging of Fort Jefferson Moat and Fingerslips at Garden Key that were damaged by hurricanes over the last 5 years.

This property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NR) and managed as a cultural resource asset. Historical significance extends to the entire site including all associated buildings, landscapes, engineering features and marine construction.

Project Background

The exterior of Fort Jefferson includes two major features, the Scarp and the Counterscarp. The Counterscarp is the seawall around Fort Jefferson which protects it from the ocean’s energy and forms the outer wall of the moat. The majority of the work is on the counterscarp and dredging in select areas.

Garden Key is the location of the park’s only public use dock. The main dock supports both park operations providing moorage for the Park supply ship and the Park’s concessionaire ferry.
