WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION

PREVAILING WAGE SEMINAR

Denver, CO April 24-28, 2017

PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Wage and Hour Division (WHD) Prevailing Wage Seminars (Prevailing Wage Seminars) are three-day compliance trainings designed for regional stakeholders (unions, private contractors, state agencies, federal agencies and workers). The compliance training provided has proven to be an essential force multiplier for WHD’s enforcement efforts and stakeholder education.

Prevailing Wage Seminars are emblematic of WHD's enhanced commitment to prevailing wage enforcement. Seminars have significantly enhanced communication and collaboration with some of our most important stakeholders, such as the building trades labor organizations and contractors that have millions of dollars in government contracts. Our increased enforcement has also significantly elevated interest and attendance by state and federal contracting agencies. Previous seminars have averaged more than 300 attendees from the city where the seminar is held and from surrounding states and further. Prevailing Wage Seminars have proven a valuable tool in promoting and enhancing WHD's government contracts strategic prevailing wage enforcement efforts.

In addition, Prevailing Wage Seminars are a mission critical component of WHD’s overall enforcement strategy. WHD believes that providing contractors and contracting agency staff with compliance assistance training prior to contract award significantly reduces unintentional errors and permits WHD to target its limited enforcement resources on the egregious violators.

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

Basis for Award: Proposals received in response to this solicitation will be evaluated in accordance with FAR Part 15 Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection procedures. The contract award will be based upon an assessment of each offeror’s ability to satisfy the solicitation requirements. The Government will make award to that responsible offeror’s quote, conforming to the solicitation that is technically acceptable, with prices that are fair and reasonable and proposes the overall total lowest price for the purchase order

· Factor 1: PRICE

· Factor 2: TECHNICAL

VOLUME I – PRICE

Factor 1: Price The Government will evaluate price quotes to determine reasonableness. Prices that are excessively high or low may be considered unrealistic and unreasonable, and may receive no further consideration. The government will be evaluating all quotes to determine best value

(a) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

Factor 2: Technical Offerors shall provide a brief technical proposal which addresses the evaluation factors set forth herein. The Government project/technical personnel will rate each proposal as either, acceptable or unacceptable in two evaluation areas-pricing and implementing the Statement of Work. The two evaluation ratings as to why the Government would grade the proposals under each evaluation rating are as follows:

1. Acceptable - The offeror provides a good level of previous service under comparable contracts which, while potentially able to be improved upon in ways useful to OASAM, is adequate to meet contract performance requirements as detailed in the SOW. In those areas of the proposed technical approach where the offerors has explained how current requirements will be met, the offeror has provided convincing detail which demonstrates a good likelihood that performance detailed in the SOW will either be met and/or exceeded. Proposed personnel meet or exceed requirements for education, skill and experience for a large majority of the requirements. Omissions, if any, few and minor consequence.

2. Unacceptable – One or more areas of previous level of service on other contracts are not comparable at all to the DOL effort required. The contractor's explanation of how the contractor will meet current requirements is either, poorly written, incomplete or lacking insufficient meaningful detail for the Government to be able to make a judgment about what the offeror is proposing. Some omissions are serious in nature, do not appear to be correctable through negotiations, and would therefore preclude and award.
