III. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD AND PRICE EVALUATION

1. EVALUATION FACTORS AND PRICE INSTRUCTIONS

1.1. This section outlines the criteria the Government will use in evaluating the offerors’ capabilities and proposals for the solicitation. The Government will compare each offeror’s capabilities and proposal elements against the predetermined evaluation criteria related to the Government’s requirement defined herein. This is a competitive, best value subjective tradeoff, source selection that will be conducted in accordance with (IAW) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15 and 36.

1.2. Best Value Evaluation: The Government will evaluate all proposals received against Technical (Factor 1), Past Performance (Factor 2), and Price (Factor 3). As stated in Section 1 of proposal preparation instructions, General Information will be used as part of the separate determination of Contractor responsibility IAW FAR 9.1 Responsible Prospective Contractors. Proposals will be evaluated, and award will be made utilizing a Trade-Off process which includes use of a combined Technical/Risk rating methodology for Factor 1 considering all three facets of the rating definitions (demonstrated Approach and Understanding, relationship of the strengths and weaknesses, and degree of Risk) when determining the Technical Factor rating. The Government will conduct evaluations at the subfactor level, however an individual rating for each subfactor within Factor 1 will not be assigned. Instead, the Government will assign a single rating (one at the Factor 1 level) based on the evaluation findings and risk associated with each of the subfactors. The subfactors within Factor 1 are equal in importance. Factor 2 will receive an overall confidence assessment rating. Factor 3 will not be given a rating or scored. Factors 1 and 2 when combined, are equal to price.

1.3. The evaluation factors consist of Factor 1 - Technical Approach, Factor 2 - Project Planning/Safety/IC/QC, Factor 3 –Project Schedule, Relevant Past Performance each factor shall have equal importance to Price.

2. FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL APPROACH AND TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS

2.1. Describe in detail how the offeror intends to meet or exceed all performance areas stated in the solicitation/statement of work/attachments that are related to this project. Provide technical methods and procedures that reflect a construction approach unique to the site and facility. NOTE: Vague, general narratives that include the restatement of the Statement of Work will be rated less favorably.

2.2. Schedule and minimizing downtime are crucial. Describe a plan to complete the project in a timely manner without causing disruptions to facility operations, especially during normal business hours. Also, describe actions to be taken by the offeror if completion of work is anticipated to fall behind schedule. It is critical to the VA mission that services remain intact with minimal disruption.

2.3. Describe any technical difficulties that may be encountered in a project of this type. Provide a narrative of preventative measures or potential solutions to overcome these issues that are included in the offeror’s proposal.

3. FACTOR 2 – PROJECT PLANNING/SAFETY/IC/QC

3.1. Describe your plan for phasing this project in addition to the phasing indicated in the contract documents.

3.2. Describe approach to infection control (IC) and determination of infection control risk assessment for work outside the project area.

3.3. Submit Quality Control (QC) monitoring procedures that will ensure a high level of construction quality that is applicable to the Specific and General requirements of the project.

3.4. Develop and include procedures involving key subcontractors in the quality of the construction processes.

3.5. Describe the commissioning process throughout the project.

3.6. Provide the precautions the contractor will take to avoid damage to the facility (include how pre-existing conditions will be documented) and the proposed remediation that will take place if any damage is done to existing elements.

4.2. The schedule shall be in the form of a progress chart (Gantt chart) of suitable scale to indicate appropriately the percentage of work scheduled for completion by any given point during the period. Most importantly, indicate length of downtime required for any utilities affecting the operation of other parts of the facility on the schedule. The schedule shall show key milestone dates and switchover and start-up of equipment.

4.3. The schedule is not included in the page limit. To be considered technically acceptable, the proposed “draft” project schedule shall not exceed the project duration stated on the solicitation and include divisions of work required to successfully complete the project:

4.3.1. Identify the tasks required to execute the project, being as detailed as possible using a work breakdown structure to break down the tasks into manageable elements in the logical order of execution.

4.3.2. Identify the time for each task. Set start and finish times.

4.3.3. Calculate the slack.

4.3.4. Determine intermediate phases and total project duration.

Adjectival Rating Description

Outstanding Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

Good Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.
