Yellowstone History Yellowstone National Park established in 1872 after sketches and photographs of wonders like Mammoth Hot Springs and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone impress Congress.

Railroad arrived in 1883, allowing easier visitor access.

Automobiles allowed into the park in 1915, making visits easier and more economical.

The US Army managed the park from 1886 through 1918.

National Park Service created in 1916.

BASIS OF AWARD

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.

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.

TECHNICAL EVALUATION CRITERIA:

FACTOR 1 – Technical Approach FACTOR 2 – Management Approach FACTOR 3 – Schedule FACTOR 4 – Key Personnel FACTOR 5 – Past Performance FACTOR 6 – Price

SECTION M – Evaluations – Factor 1 – Technical Approach

Technical approach is the most important non-price evaluation factor for this solicitation. The Government seeks proposals that demonstrate a clear, logical, and efficient technical approach to constructing modular housing units at three locations in Yellowstone National Park. The technical approach must comply with all contact requirements, meet or exceed performance standards and minimize risk to the Government.

Proposal that meet the following will be more favorably rated:

o Clearly present conceptual designs for all required elements.

o Demonstrate compliance with contract requirements and performance standards.

o Provide detailed, high-quality product binders for all specified items which clearly present the make, model, product information and high quality color samples/representations of finish appearance and finish color selections, where applicable, for the specified items and which provide products with higher levels of materials, quality, performance, appearance, durability will be more favorably rated.

o Show clear logic, understanding, and efficiency in construction methods.

o Minimize risk through realistic and appropriate technical solutions.

Proposals will be less favorably rated that:

o Lack clarity or detail in their technical approach.

o Fail to address differences between units or do not comply with minimum requirements.

o Provide incomplete or low-quality product binders.

o Do not demonstrate upgrades/enhancements or fail to explain them.

o Present approaches that are unrealistic, inefficient, or high-risk.

Evaluation – Factor 2 Management Approach Management approaches demonstrating:

(1) sound management practices and business processes;

(2) effective cost and quality control; and

(3) clear corporate and project team commitment, hierarchy and lines of communication, roles, responsibilities, and relationships; and

4) safety management program and lower EMR ratings and

5) sufficient capacity and resources; present lower levels of risk and will be more favorably rated. Plans not demonstrating these attributes present higher levels of risk and will be less favorably rated.

Evaluation – Factor 3 Schedule Construction schedules and narrative descriptions documenting

(1) a critical path and logical sequencing;

(2) account for procurement lead-time, Subcontractor/Trade coordination, on-site storage and staging, resource and time constraints; and

(3) demonstrate risk mitigation and successful completion within the required period of performance present lower levels of risk and will be more favorably rated. Schedules which do not demonstrate these attributes present higher levels or risk and will be less favorably rated.

Evaluation – Factor 4 – Key Personnel Experience Key Personnel will be evaluated on their relevant experience demonstrating

(1) capability in same or similar key personnel positions on successful relevant projects of similar scope and magnitude to this solicitation;

(2) technical qualifications, knowledge and skill required for this solicitation; and

(3) organizational clarity, prior collaboration, commitment and risk mitigation capabilities.

Proposals that present a well qualified, cohesive and committed team with demonstrated success on similar projects will be rated more favorably. Those not demonstrating these attributes present higher levels of risk and will be less favorably rated.

Evaluation – Factor 5 – Past Performance Past performance demonstrating higher levels of conformance and standards of good workmanship, cost forecasting and control, adherence to schedules 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. If an Offeror has no past performance on similar work relevant to this solicitation, they will be evaluated neither favorably nor unfavorably.

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.
