EVALUTATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

THIS SECTION IS FOR SOLICITATION PURPOSES ONLY. THIS SECTION WILL BE PHYSICALLY REMOVED FROM ANY RESULTANT AWARD BUT WILL BE DEEMED INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE.

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Part I –TECHNICAL CAPABILITY Part II – PAST PERFORMANCE Part III –PRICE

(b) BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a Best Value (Tradeoff) source selection in which all evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are significantly more important than price. The factors other than price include technical and past performance. The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced offer(s) where higher priced offers received better technical and past performance ratings than the lower priced offer(s). The Source Selection Authority shall make an integrated assessment best value award decision, where the perceived benefits of the selected higher priced proposal, and the rationale for tradeoffs, shall be documented in the contract file in accordance with FAR 15.406.

(c) By submission of its offer, the Offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined unacceptable.

(d) RESPONSIVENESS OF OFFERS Offers will first be evaluated for responsiveness to the solicitation requirements without regard to evaluation of specific technical capability, past performance, or price factors. Clarifications may be conducted to identify/confirm missing documentation and a determination will be made regarding whether the offeror should/can be allowed to submit any missing/deficient documentation without adverse effect to other offerors or the timeliness of award. Responsive offers will be provided to the Technical Evaluation Board (TEB) for the next evaluation stage.

The technical rating reflects the degree to which the proposed approach meets or does not meet the minimum performance or capability requirements through an assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies, and risks of a proposal.

Strength means an aspect of an offeror's proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance. See VAAM Appendix M815 – A The term weakness means a flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001.

The term deficiency means a material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. See FAR 15.001.

PART I – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

The technical capability of all offers will be evaluated on strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies. Management Approach, Corporate Experience, Key Personnel Qualifications, and Quality Control Plan sub-factors will be weighted equally, and all areas must have ACCEPTABLE rating or better. The Technical capability sub-factors ratings of Acceptable or better will be required to be considered for award. Proposals receiving an “unacceptable” rating for any technical subfactor will not be considered for award. An overall technical proposal rating will be assigned, also using the below ratings. Offers receiving a less than acceptable overall technical proposal rating will be rejected.

Evaluators shall assign a rating based on the minimum requirements stated below.

· The proposal provides a Quality Control approach that effectively addresses the internal processes to identify and prevent deficiencies in the quality of construction.

· This approach shall also show the plans for implementation ensuring the compliance of regulatory and Specification statutes are strictly adhered to.

· The approach shall also clearly address the QC organizational lines of authority and the Offeror’s approach to monitor corrective actions ensuring successful and timely problem resolution.

· The detailed QC approach shall identify how quality inspections will meet the minimum requirements of the Specifications.

· The QCP shall effectively address how the Offeror will correct identified discrepancies found during QC checks and the process to provide resolution to the CO/COR for any discrepancies identified in the Specifications or design.

· The QCP shall include the Offeror’s method for identifying subcontractors to meet the specific requirements of all trade’s specifications included in the project, see each specification section for QC details and section 01 45 00.

b. A narrative demonstrating how a quality plan was successfully implemented in at least three projects of similar size and type, in a similar climate within the past five years.”

PART II – PAST PERFORMANCE

Next, the Government will evaluate the Offeror’s demonstrated past performance of recent and relevant projects, to determine the Offeror’s ability to perform the contract successfully and help determine responsibility. There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation: 1. Relevancy of contractual work performed; and 2. How well the contractual work was performed.

An overall Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating will be assigned, but each past performance reference will first be evaluated for “recency” and “relevancy”. Therefore, the following ratings tables will be used. “Recent” past performance is defined as projects completed within the last five years, with the actual completion date being not earlier than November 23, 2016. Past Performance examples will be assigned a relevancy rating based on the below rating definitions, in comparison with the scope of work detailed in the Specifications and Drawings.

Past Performance Relevancy Rating Method

complexities this solicitation requires.

Performance Confidence Assessment Rating Method

record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

A. CRITERIA and SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: The information submitted in response to Technical Subfactor 2 (“Corporate Experience”) will be used, to assign a Performance Confidence Assessment Rating. Project owners may be contacted to verify information provided, where necessary, and to obtain documentation regarding successful or unsuccessful performance, and to obtain information regarding the following performance areas. Where past performance assessments are available in the Government’s Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), that information will take precedent as documentation of successful or unsuccessful performance. The offeror’s past performance records, generally, will also be reviewed in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) and Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) for the purpose of identifying any existing derogatory records impacting the evaluation team’s confidence in the offeror to perform the work.

B. The following is a list of evaluation areas/concerns that may be addressed when communicating with past performance points of contact, where CPARS assessments are unavailable.
