FACTOR 2: OFFEROR’S QUALIFICATIONS AND PAST PERFORMANCE

Offeror’s Past Performance

1. EVALUATION

Past performance will be evaluated in compliance with FAR Part 15.305(a)(2) in a holistic manner, considering multiple aspects of the Offeror’s previous projects. Past Performance will be considered for the Offeror (inclusive of the offering entity, predecessor companies, and key personnel). Offerors may provide up to five (5) examples of and references for past performance as a prime contractor, where construction has been completed during the past five (5) years. The relevancy of the projects and the Offeror’s performance on the projects, for which Past Performance is provided, will be evaluated.

Relevancy. Medical facility projects that are comparable in size and complexity or exceed the size and complexity of this project will be considered more relevant than those that are smaller in size and less complex than this project. In the context of the above, VA projects are more relevant than non-VA federal government projects, which are more relevant than non-federal government projects. Non-medical facility projects will be considered the least relevant. The relevancy of the Offeror’s role in the projects for which Past Performance is provided will also be evaluated. Roles listed in order of most to least relevant are: developer, lessor, general contractor, and design team. The relevancy of projects and role will provide the Government with a level of confidence in the following evaluations of the Offeror.

Areas of Consideration

A. Offeror Past Performance

B. Design Team & General Contractor Qualifications

C. Financial Resources

D. Project Management Plan

Performance. Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) ratings, submitted directly from the Offeror’s references, shall help develop a Performance Confidence Assessment.

4) The Offeror has engaged in upstanding business practices, including subcontracting to Veteran-owned small businesses and other small businesses, making timely payments to subcontractors, and operating within legal and ethical standards.

In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.
