Past Performance 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.

B. Price Quote Offerors shall provide pricing as requested for the project listed on page 1.

AWARD BASIS AND EVALUATION METHOD

The Government will award a firm fixed priced contract to the responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the requirements in this request for quote, will be most advantageous to the Government. This is a competitive solicitation in which competing offerors’ past performance history will be evaluated on a basis significantly more important than price. By submission of its quote, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. All acceptable offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined unacceptable. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

(a) Initially offers shall be ranked according to price.

(b) Using questionnaires, the contracting officer shall seek relevant performance information based on (1) the references provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources. Relevant performance includes performance of efforts involving construction that are similar or greater in scope, magnitude and complexity than the effort described in this solicitation. 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. 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 present and past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Unknown Confidence as defined in Table 1 below. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will/will not be considered as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history or the offeror’s 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.

(c) In evaluating past performance, the government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation

(f) Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the quote preparation instructions to permit a meaningful assessment of past performance. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their quote or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system

The Following will be used to rate the past performance of each offeror:
