EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M.1 EVALUATION CRITERIA

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 intends to award one (1) contract to the responsible Offeror whose proposal is responsive to the solicitation and determined to be the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered. However, the Government reserves the right to make any number of awards, or no award, if considered to be in the Government's best interest to do so. 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 competitive Best Value Tradeoff (Tradeoff) source selection in which technically acceptable competing Offerors will be assigned a Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating and will then be evaluated for Price fairness and reasonableness. All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are significantly more important than price alone. The government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced offer if the lowest priced Offeror is determined to have a performance confidence assessment of "Satisfactory Confidence" or lower. In that event, the Source Selection Authority shall make an integrated assessment best value award decision, where the perceived benefits of the 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. The offers shall be limited to 35 pages, not including Past Performance CPARs. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

PART I – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

Offers will first be evaluated for responsiveness to the solicitation requirements, by the Contracting Officer, without regard to evaluation of specific technical capability, past performance, or price factors. Exchanges may occur 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. Responsive offers will be provided to the Technical Evaluation Board (TEB) for the next evaluation stage. The technical capability of all offers will be evaluated on strengths and weaknesses. Management Approach, Corporate Experience, Key Personnel Qualifications, and Quality Control Plan sub-factors will be evaluated equally.

NOTE: Those offers not meeting the minimum standard for acceptability will not be considered for award (i.e., fail to meet minimum as defined by attached Specifications). Management Approach, Corporate Experience, Key Personnel Qualifications, and Quality Control Plan sub-factors will be weighted equally, and all areas must have SATISFACTORY rating or better. The Technical capability sub-factors ratings of SATISFACTORY or better will be required in order to be considered for award.

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

2. MINIMUM STANDARD OF ACCEPTABILITY: The minimum standards of acceptability are met when the Offeror provides:

a. A description of the quality control system, including a chart showing lines of authority and acknowledgement that the Quality Control (QC) Manager shall implement the three-phase control system (Phase 1 – Preparatory Phase; Phase 2 – Initial Phase; Phase 3 – Follow-up Phase) for all aspects of work specified. The QC System Manager shall report to the project manager or someone higher in the Contractor’s organization. Project Manager in this context shall mean the individual with responsibility for the overall management of the project including quality and production. 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 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. Work under this Section shall be performed by organizations which have successfully performed at least three (3) projects of similar size and type, in a similar climate within the past five (5) years.”

PART II – PAST PERFORMANCE

Next, the Government will evaluate the Offeror’s demonstrated past performance of recent and relevant projects, in order to determine the Offeror’s ability to perform the contract successfully and help determine responsibility. Past performance information shall include, but not limited to evaluation of past performance of the firm having experience in repairing and replacing Fire and Life Safety Issues at hospitals, quality, timely performance, management effectiveness, and safety. 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 (5) years, from the date of issuance of solicitation. Past Performance references meeting the “minimum threshold” criteria, but not related to hospital renovations, will be rated “Somewhat Relevant”. Past Performance references meeting the “minimum threshold” criteria, which included hospital renovations will be assigned a relevancy rating based on the below rating definitions, with regard to the tasks outlined in the Specification of similar scope and complexity.

Performance Confidence Assessment Rating Method

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

A. CRITERIA: Offerors must provide a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) references of their choice of completed projects, similar in size and scope (minimum threshold: Projects where the principal objective was repairing and replacing Fire and Life Safety Issues with a total contract value exceeding $1,000,000). 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. SEE NOTE BELOW, regarding the past performance questionnaire. Past Performance of subcontractors may be used, but future unavailability of the subcontractor to perform work may result in contract termination.

B. EVALUATION AND PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT RATING: The Government will consider and evaluate the Offeror's past performance information, to include the references and completed surveys, which are deemed recent and relevant for the requirements of this RFP, including evaluation of the Offeror’s adherence to period of performance/time of construction and construction according to contract specifications and design without deficiencies. The Government may also use information submitted by the Offeror and other sources such as other Federal Government offices to include the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), and commercial sources, to assess performance. “Recent” past performance is defined as projects completed within the last five (5) years, from the date of issuance of solicitation.

C. Relevance ratings and Performance Confidence Assessment ratings will be assigned, as defined in the above tables.

NOTE: The contractor shall send out the attached past performance questionnaires (Solicitation Attachment F) to each of their references listed under the Experience technical factor or any other references that the Offeror deems necessary. The Government will evaluate the quality and extent of Offeror’s performance deemed relevant and recent to the requirements of this solicitation.

The references must return the survey directly to the Government Contracting Officer identified on the survey, via email, by the due date for proposals.

PART III – PRICE PROPOSAL

Finally, offers that are deemed technically acceptable and assigned a Performance Confidence Assessment rating will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness of price. 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.

A. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by reviewing the total price offered for Proposal Item 1 (Base Proposal Item). The Government will use the committed funds amount as the control amount for price evaluation. The control amount will not be made publicly available during evaluation and selection, due to the use of FAR Part 15 procedures, as it represents both the committed funds amount and the Government Estimate. The Government Estimate is source selection sensitive information and its release during evaluation and selection would negatively affect later negotiations, if held (see FAR 36.203(c)).

B. If evaluation results and comparison with the control amount (available funds) shows that a best value award decision cannot be issued from Proposal Item 1 (Base Proposal Item) offers, pricing for Proposal Item 2 (Deduct Alternate No. 1) will be evaluated; and so on.

C. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (Ref: FAR 52.215-1 and Except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and past performance. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

D. Offers that are not technically acceptable cannot be selected, regardless of price.

INFORMATION REGARDING BIDDING MATERIAL, BID GUARANTEE AND BONDS

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) GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

1. All proposal preparation costs will be the sole responsibility of the Offeror. The Government will not reimburse any firm for their proposal preparation cost.

2. The price, technical response and past performance of each offeror will be evaluated independently. Offerors must separately document each of the three factors. Each of the three offer sections must therefore be labeled with the offerors name, business address, and VA Solicitation Number.

3. To ensure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, Offerors must follow the instructions contained herein. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including these instructions, the terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical and past performance requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

The offer shall consist of three (3) separate volumes:

· PART I – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

· PART II – PAST PERFORMANCE

· PART III – PRICE PROPOSAL

4. 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 Evaluation Team for the next evaluation stage.
