RATING DEFINITION

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

3. EVALUATING PAST PERFORMANCE

a. Past performance information received from completed questionnaires will initially be evaluated to determine whether the present/past performance is recent and relevant or not relevant to this effort. In order for a present/past effort to be considered recent, performance must have occurred within five years (9 Oct 2015) of the issuance of this solicitation. Relevant performance includes performance of efforts that are similar in scope, magnitude, and complexity on demolition projects sharing similar phases of work, but not limited to, structural demolition, hazardous material abatement, utility work, and site grading/restoration with a total contract value of at least $25,000.00.

b. Past performance information determined to be both recent and relevant will then be evaluated on how well the Offeror performed on those efforts. Based on the ratings for each area addressed in the questionnaire, a performance rating will be assigned according to the chart listed:

c. Offeror’s will be provided the opportunity to respond to adverse past performance information identified in a completed questionnaire. Adverse past performance information is any rating or comment that is less than satisfactory.

d. In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance.

C. The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced Offeror if the lowest priced Offeror is determined to have a technical rating of other than acceptable. In that event, an integrated assessment best value award decision will be made.
