ACCEPTANCE PERIOD

Because of the time required by the Government to evaluate adequately, offerors are requested to specify an acceptance period of not less than SIXTY (60) DAYS.

EVALUATION FACTORS AND CRITERIA

The award will be made to the offeror who submits the best overall quote that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the evaluation factors that are listed in descending order of importance (all sub-factors are also in descending order of importance):

• VOLUME I – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

• VOLUME II – MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY

• VOLUME III – PAST PERFORMANCE

• VOLUME IV – COST/PRICE

The non-price factors when combined are significantly more important than price. Offerors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest cost offer. Best value is defined as the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement in accordance with FAR 2.101.

The Government reserves the right to select based upon initial offer without discussions; therefore, the offeror should submit their best terms in their initial offer. The Government also reserves the right to enter discussions and request revised offers if needed any may also determine to make no award.

The Government will evaluate based on the following factors:

VOLUME I – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

Evaluation will be based on the 3 to 5 samples of work which demonstrates the ability of the offeror to manage, produce, and install signage, and to respond to both the technical and creative needs of sign fabrication projects.

Specifically, evaluation will be based on the following criteria:

1. Samples of work will be evaluated based on the degree to which the work in the samples provided relates to the sign fabrication and installation of the requirement of this contract. Samples of work similar in nature to this requirement may receive a higher rating,

2. Samples of work will be evaluated based on the quality of the workmanship shown in the photos.

3. Samples of work completed by key personnel and/or subcontractors also listed under management plan to work on this requirement may receive a higher rating.

VOLUME II – MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY

Evaluation will be based on the management plan and the resumes of key personnel which together shall demonstrate the ability of personnel to produce and install signage. The key personnel must be consistent between the two volumes. Personnel that are not consistent may not be evaluated and will be noted as a weakness, significant weakness, or deficiency. Specifically, evaluation will be based on the following criteria:

1. A management plan which clearly demonstrates the offeror’s ability to manage project workflow, schedules, and personnel, and to maintain quality control throughout the life of the project. The management plan should also demonstrate effective project management of sign fabrication and the ability

POINT OF CONTACT: LINDA RICHARDSON

EMAIL: linda_richardson@nps.gov to the offeror to select and manage subcontracted personnel that demonstrably match the creative and technical needs of this project.

2. Resumes which demonstrate that the education, knowledge, and work experience of all personnel, including subcontractors proposed for use under this contract, and match their proposed roles under this contract. Personnel that are listed on samples should be reflected in resumes provided.

3. Any information requested in Volume II – Management Capability that is either not included in the proposal or does not meet the specifications will be noted as a weakness, significant weakness, or deficiency.

4. Preference will be given to offerors whose resumes demonstrate experience with projects similar to what is required in this Scope of Work.

VOLUME III – PAST PERFORMANCE

Evaluation will be based on past performance to include quality of products and services, cost control, customer satisfaction, timeliness of performance, and business relations. The source selection authority shall determine the relevance of similar past performance information.

1. An evaluation of offeror’s past performance information will be conducted subsequent to the technical evaluation. The offeror must have demonstrated successful operations and maintenance of similar contract, to include scale and complexity. Preference will be given to offeror’s that demonstrate past performance of similar projects related to management of parks and protected areas.

2. The evaluation will be based on information obtained from the write-ups, other relevant past performance information obtained from other sources known to the Government, to include additional references, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and any other information supplied by the offeror, to include problems encountered on the identified contracts and corrective action taken.

3. The Government will assess the relative risks associated with each offeror. Performance risks are those associated with an offeror’s likelihood of success in performing the acquisition requirements as indicated by that offeror’s record of past performance.

4. The assessment of performance risk is not intended to be the product of a mechanical or mathematical analysis of an offeror’s performance on a list of contracts, but rather the product of subjective judgement by the Government after it considers all available and relevant information.

5. When assessing performance risks, the Government will focus on the past performance of the offeror as it relates to all acquisition requirements, such as: 1. The offeror’s record of performing according to specifications, including standards of good workmanship; 2. The offeror’s record of controlling and forecasting costs; 3. The offerer’s adherence to contract schedules including the administrative aspects of performance; 4. The offeror’s reputation for reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and 5. The offeror’s business-like concern for the interest of the customer.

Even if the firm is new or new to the business area, it is probable that the key management and/or technical personnel proposed for the contract have some relevant experience.

VOLUME IV – COST/PRICE

Offerors’ price quote will not be point scored or adjectively scored but will be evaluated on price reasonableness.

The price quote will also be used as an aid to determine the Offeror understands the requirements of the solicitation, price reasonableness and to assess the validity of the offerors approach to managing and performing the work. The Government will also evaluate cost with regard to the ability of the offeror to meet requirements in terms of skills required, complexity of disciplines and job difficulty, if the Government deems such analysis necessary.

POINT OF CONTACT: LINDA RICHARDSON

EMAIL: linda_richardson@nps.gov

The offeror shall submit a price quote separate from all other volumes; any price information found in the technical or past performance volumes will be removed prior to evaluation.

GATE-SIU Price Schedule can be used for the price portion of the quote. Break costs out per the attachment.

Include any travel and other direct costs in separate portion of the cost response with a final overall total to include all costs for the project.
