Two-Phase Design-Build Selection and Evaluation Procedures I. General Information for Proposal Evaluation/Selection Criteria:

A. This project will be solicited as a firm fixed price best value contract. The solicitation will be conducted as a two-phased Design Build in accordance with FAR 36.3. The A/E and Construction Contractor team will be required to submit information in two phases.

B. The Technical approach, Specialized experience, and Technical Competence factors when combined are significantly more important than the remaining three factors. Each evaluation factor, other than Technical will be weighted approximately equal.

C. For Phase I: Proposals consisting of Phase 1 Criteria will be accepted from all verified SB offerors. Phase I proposals will be evaluated to determine which offerors will submit proposals in Phase II.

D. For Phase II: Only a maximum of the three most highly rated Phase I proposals will be invited to submit a Phase II Proposal consisting of Phase II Criteria.

E. Phase I and Phase II: The Contracting Officer, with the assistance of qualified Technical Evaluators, will evaluate Technical Sections of each proposal to determine the offeror’s ability to accomplish the work as set forth in this solicitation. Technical evaluations will be based solely on the evaluation factors and criteria detailed below in PHASE I and PHASE II Criteria Sections.

II. Award A.

Therefore, all offerors are advised that their best terms and conditions should be presented in their initial proposals and that offerors should not to assume that they will have an opportunity to participate in discussions or be asked to submit a revised offer. Each Contractor’s proposal shall address the evaluation factors as incorporated under the Proposal Criteria header in this solicitation. Failure to provide the information needed for each factor will result in the proposal being considered non-responsive.

B. Award of a conforming proposal may be made without discussions, except for minor clarifications, if deemed to be within the best interests of the Government. However, offerors are advised that discussions/negotiations may occur if deemed necessary.

C. The Government will award a firm fixed-price Design-Build contract to that responsible Offeror whose proposal, conforming to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and has been determined to be most advantageous to the Government, considering quality, price and other factors. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer. The Government reserves the right to make cost/technical tradeoffs that are in the best interest and to the advantage of the Government. The right is also reserved to reject any and all offers.
