Evaluation Criteria

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2:

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD:

The Government intends to award one contract.

The Government will evaluate Price, Technical Capability, and Past Performance, and use these factors to make a best value determination.

For the purposes of this solicitation, Technical Capability and Past Performance is more important than Price.

1. PRICE PROPOSAL:

a. Price evaluation will be conducted as follows:

1) Offers will be ranked from lowest to highest according to price, to include option pricing.

2) Evaluated Amounts for Base Period and Option Periods: The extended amounts for all Base Period CLINS will be added together to calculate the total Base Period Evaluated Amount. This process will be repeated for Option Periods 1 through 4 to derive Evaluated Amounts for each of those periods.

a) NOTE: An Offeror’s proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the Price Schedule by the unit price for each item to confirm the extended amount for each. Unit prices shall prevail in the event the extended price is calculated incorrectly.

3) Evaluated Amount for Extension of Services: The Unit Prices for items 4001 and 4002 will be summed and multiplied by six to derive the Evaluated Amount for Extension of Services: 6 x [(Unit Price for Item #4001) + (Unit Price for Item # 4002)] = Evaluated Amount for Extension of Services

a) NOTE: Although the price evaluation uses Option 4 prices to calculate Extension of Services Amount, in the event the Government extends services under the authority of FAR 52.217-8, “Option to Extend Services”, the unit pricing of the last exercised option period, which preceded the extension, shall remain in effect.

4) Total Evaluated Price:

The Evaluated Amounts for Base Period, Option Periods 1 through 4, and Extension Period will be summed for a Total Evaluated Price (TEP):

(Total Evaluated Amount for Base Period) + (Total Evaluated Amount for Option Period 1) + (Total Evaluated Amount for Option Period 2) + (Total Evaluated Amount for Option Period 3) + (Total Evaluated Amount for Option Period 4) +

FA462522R1004 Central Steam Plant Combo Page 10 of 16

(Total Evaluated Amount for Extension of Services) = Total Evaluated Price.

b. The Contracting Officer has determined there is a probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the Contracting Officer will review this determination and if, in the Contracting Officer’s opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional information will be requested.

However, if at any time during this competition the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists, Offeror’s may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the Contracting Officer to determine the reasonableness of price.

c. An Offeror’s proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines the lack of reasonable price information contained in any portion of an Offerors price proposal, or if a proposal is deemed unbalanced.

2. TECHNICAL CAPABILITY:

a. Next, the technical capability of the three lowest priced Offerors will be evaluated on an ACCEPTABLE / UNACCEPTABLE basis. Evaluations will continue until at least three Offerors are determined technically acceptable, or until all Offerors have been evaluated, whichever comes first. Proposals will be evaluated to determine the Offeror’s compliance with the technical requirements of this RFQ. All sub-factors will be rated ACCEPTABLE/UNACCEPTABLE. Technical capability sub-factors of Key Personnel and Employee Certification, Preventative Maintenance Program, Corrective Maintenance Program, Transition Plan, and Mission Essential Contractor Services Plan must have an ACCEPTABLE rating. An overall Technical Capability rating of ACCEPTABLE will be required in order to be considered for award. Those offers not meeting the minimum standard of acceptability will not be considered for award. If at any time an offer is determined UNACCEPTABLE and, therefore, not considered for award, the next highest priced offer will be presented for technical capability evaluation.

RATING DEFINITION

Acceptable Based on the Offeror’s technical proposal, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Unacceptable Based on the Offeror’s technical proposal, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort

b. Evaluators will assign a rating of ACCEPTABLE / UNACCEPTABLE based on the minimum requirements stated below.

FA462522R1004 Central Steam Plant Combo Page 11 of 16

Sub-factor 1 – Key Personnel and Employee Certification

1) CRITERIA: Key Personnel document shall identify on-site individuals and off-site corporate personnel with a description of their work experience and credentialing relating to projects similar in scope to those expected under this CSP contract.

2) MINIMUM STANDARD OF ACCEPTABILITY: The minimum standard is met when the Offeror submits a Key Personnel document identifying Primary and Alternate On-Site Managers, quality control, and supervision required for onsite operations as well as corporate management that clearly defines the lines of reporting for the organization. In addition to work experience and licenses or certifications held IAW Paragraphs 2.1.6 and 2.1.7 of the PWS, the document shall provide sufficient information identifying labor allocation which communicates in detail how adequate personnel will be available to execute the requirements of the PWS. The Offeror must provide qualifications and certifications regarding key personnel in resume format including a description of their work experience.

Sub-factor 2: Preventative Maintenance Program (PM)

1) CRITERIA: PM Program shall identify approach to ensure CSP is maintained to the standard outlined in the PWS.

when the Offeror submits a Preventative Maintenance Program that clearly indicates a detailed approach to preventative maintenance that will ensure primary and ancillary CSP equipment and distribution system is maintained to the standards as outlined in AFMAN 31-1068 Heating Systems and Unfired Pressure Vessels, manufacturers’ technical literature, and the PWS.

FA462522R1004 Central Steam Plant Combo Page 12 of 16

Sub-factor 4: Transition Plan

1) CRITERIA: Offeror shall provide a Transition Plan, describing how the incumbent will turn over operations to an incoming Contractor if, at the end of the contract period, it is determined they are no longer the Contractor.

when the Offeror submits a Transition Plan delineating steps to be taken to ensure the Government is kept fully informed of status throughout the transition period, minimizes interruptions or delays that would impact the mission, and transfers work control with a smooth and orderly phase-in/out process.

Sub-factor 5: Mission Essential Contractor Services Plan (MECSP)

1) CRITERIA: Offeror shall provide a Mission-Essential Contractor Services Plan

(MECSP), describing how it will continue to perform the essential contractor services listed in Section 2.1.2.2 of the PWS, dated 2 February 2022, during periods of crisis. This plan will be incorporated into the contract.

when the Offeror submits a MECSP complying with the requirements of DFARS 252.237-7024, Notice of Continuation of Essential Contractor Services. The Offeror shall identify provisions made for the acquisition of essential personnel and resources, if necessary, for the continuity of operations for up to 30 days or until normal operations can be resumed. The plan shall address at a minimum:

(i) Challenges associated with maintaining essential contractor services during an extended event, such as a pandemic that occurs in repeated waves;

(ii) The time lapse associated with the initiation of the acquisition of essential personnel and resources and their actual availability on site;

(iii) The components, processes, and requirements for the identification, training, and preparedness of personnel who are capable of relocating to alternate facilities or performing work from home;

(iv) Any established alert and notification procedures for mobilizing identified “essential contractor service” personnel; and

(v) The approach for communicating expectations to contractor employees regarding their roles and responsibilities during a crisis.

3. EVALUATING PAST PERFORMANCE:

a. Finally, the Evaluation Team will conduct the past performance evaluation on the three lowest priced technically acceptable offers.

b. The Evaluation Team will primarily rely on information provided by Offeror’s References, completed Past Performance Questionnaires, and/or from the Contractor

FA462522R1004 Central Steam Plant Combo Page 13 of 16

Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). However, the Government may use information previously obtained from Past Performance Questionnaires or data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources in the evaluation process. In the event an Offeror submits a Past Performance Questionnaire and it is subsequently determined that the referenced project was formally evaluated in the CPARS, CPARS ratings shall take precedence.

c. First, each past performance reference and questionnaire shall undergo a recency determination. In order to be determined recency, the contract effort shall have been performed during the past five (5) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation.

Offerors who do not meet the recency determination will not be evaluated further for relevancy.

d. Next, each recent past performance reference and questionnaire shall undergo a relevancy determination. Relevant contracts include work of a nature, magnitude, and scope similar to that required for this contract. Relevant contracts include steam plant maintenance contracts.

e. In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the Offeror, joint ventures, subcontractors and/or teaming partners whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. The following relevancy definitions apply:

1) RELEVANT: Present/Past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

2) NOT RELEVANT: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

f. A relevancy determination of the Offerors present and past performance, including joint ventures, subcontractors and/or teaming partners, will be made.

g. The Past Performance Evaluation will be accomplished by reviewing aspects of an Offerors recent and relevant past performance.

h. As a result of an analysis of those positive and negative aspect indicators identified, each Offeror will receive an integrated Performance Confidence Assessment, which is the rating for the Past Performance factor. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the Offeror’s ability to perform the effort described in the solicitation, based on the Offeror’s demonstrated past performance.

i. When relevant performance record indicates performance problems, the Government will consider the number and severity of the problems and the appropriateness and effectiveness of any corrective actions taken (not just planned or promised). The Government may review more recent contracts or performance evaluations to ensure

FA462522R1004 Central Steam Plant Combo Page 14 of 16 corrective actions have been implemented and to evaluate their effectiveness.

j. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Unknown Confidence. The three Offerors that have the lowest pricing and are considered technically acceptable will receive one of the ratings described below for the Past Performance factor.

TABLE 1 - PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENTS

k. The Government reserves the right to seek information on higher priced Offerors if none of the lower priced Offerors receive a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment rating. Past performance regarding minor members of joint ventures or teaming arrangements will be considered as highly as the majority member of those arrangements. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history or the Offerors performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating “Unknown Confidence”, meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably.

l. If none of the three lowest priced Offerors is judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment rating, the next lowest priced technically acceptable Offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an Offeror is judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment rating or until all technically acceptable Offerors are evaluated. Then, the Government will perform an integrated assessment of the Offerors to determine the best value to the Government. The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced Offeror if the lowest priced Offeror is judged to have a performance

RATING Description

Substantial Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

The Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

FA462522R1004 Central Steam Plant Combo Page 15 of 16 confidence assessment of other than “Substantial Confidence”. In that event, the Evaluation Team shall make an integrated assessment best value award decision.
