The Government will rate an offeror's Past Performance considering all potential evaluation criteria identified in this section.

3) The Past Performance evaluation will include, but is not limited, to the following:

Quality- Management and Workmanship Timeliness and adherence to schedule Business Practices/Customer Relationships and Ability to Perform Compliance and Safety Infection Control Overall Customer Satisfaction

To conduct the performance risk assessment, the Government will use data provided by the offeror, and data obtained from other sources. The Government will evaluate present and past performance information through the use of past performance questionnaires completed by the offeror's references; use data independently obtained from other Government or commercial sources, including, but not limited to Government databases; rely upon personal business experience with the offeror. The evaluation will also consider information provided relative to corrective actions taken to resolve problems on past or existing contracts and trends in performance.

4) The evaluation may take into account Past Performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to this acquisition. If multiple subcontractors are provided for the same discipline the government will use the lowest rated subcontractor in the evaluation.

5) Past Performance information on contracts not listed by the offeror, or that of planned subcontractors may also be evaluated. The Government may contact references and contact parties other than those identified by the offeror, and information received may be used in the evaluation of the offeror’s Past Performance. While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of providing current accurate and complete Past Performance information rests with the offeror. The Government reserves the rights to obtain and evaluate Past Performance information from any source it deems appropriate.

6) An offeror with no Past Performance will receive a neutral rating. These ratings may have the same weight as the ratings of the proposing company. However, the proposal of an offeror with no relevant Past Performance history, while rated “Neutral” in Past Performance may not be deemed the most advantageous proposal to the Government.

7) The Government will consider the relevancy of the performance information while conducting its past performance evaluation. If a past performance is deemed not relevant, the offeror will receive a Neutral rating.

8) For the purpose of this solicitation, relevancy is performance occurring within the last five years through the solicitation release date. Within this period, performance occurring later in the period may have greater significance than work occurring earlier in the period. For example, performance information for work occurring during 2017 may have greater importance than performance information for work occurring during 2012. Projects that began on or before October 1, 2011 will not be considered.

9) In assessing relevancy, the Government may evaluate an offeror's references for similarity of the construction methods to the scope of this solicitation, (multi-discipline or specialized area), scope/type of contracts/projects, price magnitude of projects as it relates to price, area of consideration, client type and location of work performed as it relates to the location(s) of work to be performed under this contract. Performance on managing multiple multi-disciplined projects at one time may also be considered.

10) The Government may consider an offeror’s previous contracts in the aggregate in determining relevancy, should the offeror’s present and past performance lend itself to this approach. For example, an offeror’s work experience on three contracts may, by definition, represent only a semi-relevant effort when each contract is considered as a stand-alone effort. However, when these contracts are performed concurrently (in part or in whole) and are assessed in the aggregate, the work may more accurately reflect a very relevant effort.

11) The following ratings apply to relevancy considering all the elements listed above:

VERY RELEVANT – Past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities and within last five years as this solicitation requires.

RELEVANT – Past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities and within last five years as this solicitation requires.

SOMEWHAT RELEVANT – Past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities and within last five years this as solicitation requires.

NOT RELEVANT – Past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities and within last five (5) years this as solicitation requires.

NEUTRAL – No past/present performance provided/available.

12) In accordance with FAR 15.306(a) (2), if award will be made without conducting discussions, offerors may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of their proposals, e.g., the relevance of an offeror's Past Performance information and adverse Past Performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond, or to resolve minor clerical errors.

13) The following ratings apply to risk considering all the elements listed above:

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. (Very Low Risk)

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. (Low Risk)

LIMITED 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. (Average Risk)

NO CONFIDENCE – Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectations that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. (High Risk).
