Professional Qualifications, Construction Schedule, Quality Control Plan, and Experience sub-factors will be weighted equally and all areas must have an ACCEPTABLE rating.

PART II – PAST PERFORMANCE

Next, the Government will evaluate the offeror’s demonstrated past performance of projects in order to determine the offeror’s ability to perform the contract successfully and help determine responsibility.

Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method

NOTE: Offerors with no relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and will be given a neutral rating.

1. CRITERIA: Offerors must provide a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) references of their choice of projects of similar contracts in size and scope (commercial building remodel/renovation; minimum threshold value of $500,000). The Offeror must provide for each reference the reference's company name, POCs, address, contact information to include phone number and e-mail address, project description, dollar value and period of performance. The Government will consider and evaluate Offeror's past performance information, to include the references, which are deemed recent and relevant for the requirements of this RFP in evaluation of Offeror’s adherence to period of performance/time of construction and construction according to contract specifications and design without deficiencies. The Government will also use information submitted by the Offeror and other sources such as other Federal Government offices to include PPIRS, and commercial sources, to assess performance. Recent and Relevant is defined in the subparagraph below:

a. Regency Assessment: An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past 6 years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

b. Relevancy Assessment: An evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine whether the provided construction performed under those contracts relate to a similar size and scope as those required by this solicitation. In determining the relevancy of effort performed under individual past performance contracts, the Government will consider the specific effort or portion consistent with that proposed by the prime contractor and/or subcontractors. The past performance information obtained from sources will be used to establish the relevancy of past performance.

2. MINIMUM STANDARD OF ACCEPTABILITY: The minimum standard of acceptability is met when the Offeror provides minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) references of their choice of projects of similar contracts in size and scope (commercial building remodel/renovation; minimum threshold value of $500,000) in which the Offeror adhered to period of performance/time of construction and construction according to contract specifications and design without deficiencies. The Offeror must provide for each reference the reference's company name, POCs, address, contact information to include phone number and e-mail address, project description, dollar value and period of performance. The Government will consider and evaluate Offeror's past performance information, to include the references, which are deemed recent and relevant for the requirements of this RFP in evaluation of Offeror’s adherence to period of performance/time of construction and construction according to contract specifications and design. The Government will also use information submitted by the Offeror and other sources such as other Federal Government offices to include PPIRS, and commercial sources, to assess performance.

PART III – PRICE PROPOSAL

A. Finally, offers that are deemed technically acceptable shall be ranked according to price, including all aspects of the proposal. The Offeror’s price proposal will be submitted in a separate volume. No price information is to be included in the technical sections of the proposal. Price will not receive a technical rating.

B. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by reviewing the total price of the proposal items to include all work, supplies, etc. to meet the solicitation. Each Offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness. Each Offeror’s price proposal shall include their completed PROPOSAL ITEM LIST the completes the Base Offer Price Breakdown Form for Proposal Item I only. Unrealistically low or high proposed costs/prices may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that either the Offeror does not understand the requirement or the Offeror has made an unrealistic proposal.

C. An Offeror’s proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines the lack of completeness or reasonable price information contained in any portion of an Offerors price proposal.

D. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain that Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest. Prior to discussions, a competitive range may be established and the Offerors within the competitive range will be part of the discussions.
