EVALUATION FACTORS:

Technical and Price sections of an Offeror’s proposal will be evaluated independently. Offeror shall separately bind each section. All pages containing text shall be consecutively numbered, type-written on 8-1/2x11 inch paper with margins of at least once inch and created using a Times New Roman 12-point font. The submitted package should contain two (2) sections, separately bind: a.) Technical Proposal b.) Price Proposal. The Offeror’s Technical proposal shall be no more than 50 pages’ total, which is not inclusive of the solicitation and any amendments issued thereof. The Offeror’s Price Proposal shall be no more than 25 pages inclusive of the bid bonds required. The Offeror is hereby advised that the attached “Pricing Schedule” worksheet shall be considered as 20 pages, regardless of the overall total. Each section must therefore be labeled with the following:

1. Construction Company Name

2. Physical Address of the Company

3. Telephone Number

4. Email address

5. VA Project Number (Project 596A4-24-102)

6. VA Project Name (Replace Obsolete Lighting)

7. Solicitation number (36C24924R0035)

The Technical Evaluation Board (TEB) shall evaluate the offeror’s proposal against all non-price factors/sub-factors using “ACCEPTABLE” or “UNACCEPTABLE” ratings based upon the standard of acceptability that follows each factor/sub-factor below. In order to obtain an

“ACCEPTABLE” rating, an offeror must meet the standard of acceptability that is listed for each factor/sub-factor.

The evaluation process and criteria stated in this section will be strictly adhered to. Evaluators will make no assumptions regarding an offeror’s proposal. Therefore, an Offeror must demonstrate understanding by the thoroughness, soundness, comprehensiveness, and price reasonableness of technical approach. There will be no public opening of offers.

The following evaluation factors and sub-factors will apply to this procurement:

FACTOR 1 – Hospital/Healthcare Construction Management

The offeror shall provide a narrative that describes the Offeror’s overall organization, organizational chart, as well as number of personnel and the duties of proposed technical staff to determine if offeror can manage multi-discipline projects without significant difficulty. The proposal narrative must adequately address functions, responsibilities and authorities for performing such duties as overall project management, site superintendence, quality control, safety, administration and in-house trade capabilities.

Sub-Factor 1a – Relevant Experience: The Prime Contractor shall provide demonstrated experience in new construction or the addition of a hospital/medical center and/or health care facility for two (2) completed projects within the past five (5) years with a contract value equal to or greater than $2,000,000.00. The subject project must have consisted of multiple trades to demonstrate the management and coordination of trades by the Prime Contractor.

Standard for Acceptability: This factor will be considered acceptable if the information provided reflects adequate experience in new construction or the addition of a hospital/medical center and/or health care facility meeting the criteria as stated above and demonstrates successful management and coordination of multiple trades by the Prime Contractor.

Sub-Factor 1b - Key Personnel: Provide the names of the Prime Contractor’s project manager and on-site superintendent, including name with title, years with prime contractor, and total work experience as it relates to the new construction or the addition of a hospital/medical center and/or health care facility. Both Project Manager and Site Superintendent must demonstrate (by way of professional resume) experience in managing and providing oversight with new hospital construction or construction additions with a project magnitude equal to or greater than $2,000,000.00 or more over the past five (5) years.

Standard for Acceptability: Project manager and the on-site superintendent must have a minimum of five (5) or more years of experience managing new hospital construction and/or construction additions in a hospital or medical center environment.

FACTOR 2 - Technical Management Approach: The offeror shall provide a narrative that outlines the proposed technical approach for this project, including assumptions and rationale for choosing the preferred approach.

Sub-Factor 2a-Project & Construction Quality Control: Include a discussion of how the duration of project time was achieved; provide a Gantt chart of contract times broken into schedule of values by trade discipline and by General Wage Decision (formerly Davis-Bacon Act). Offeror must include identification of proposed personnel for project management, site superintendence, and quality control; including role in commissioning, safety during construction, and in-house trade capabilities.

Standard for Acceptability: Gantt chart achieving successful project completion in 270 calendar days, with all requirements met for contract. Technical narrative always demonstrates sound logic with minimal disruption to medical center operations.

Sub-Factor 2b-Change Order Management: Explain methods for identifying changes along with company procedures for managing changes, regardless if unforeseen site conditions or owner-initiated changes. Methods and procedures for handling changes are to be based on your experience in hospital construction of a project of this magnitude and scope, involving multiple trades and the coordination of trades. Discuss any potential changes or unforeseen conditions that could result from this project along with how those would be handled both internally as a company and with the VA.

Standard for Acceptability: This factor will be considered acceptable if the information provided demonstrates adequate procedures for identifying and handling changes as stated above.

FACTOR 3 - Past Performance: Offeror shall list three (3) only prior clients for completed projects of new construction or new addition of hospital/healthcare facility, medical clinics where the projects dollar magnitude equal to or greater than $2,000,000.00 within the last five (5) years on the VA Past Performance questionnaire and ask the client to forward directly to the Contracting Officer via email at Robert.pritchard2@va.gov no later than January 18, 2024 at

1:00 PM CST.

Standard for Acceptability: This factor is met when up to three (3) past performance questionnaires that the offeror has worked with in the past five (5) years are submitted, along with any other relevant past performance documentation reflecting acceptable performance and are determined to be relevant relative to the subject procurement, and recent in regard to the timeframe-within the past five (5) years. The Government will evaluate the relative merits of each project listed under past performance as well as verify the information provided through direct contact, as well as other government websites. This factor will be found ACCEPTABLE if, based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror’s performance record is unknown. This factor will be found UNACCEPTABLE if, based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

NOTE: The past performance evaluation results is an assessment of the Offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the Offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements. The government may also obtain past performance information through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) other sources known to the Government.

Price: The offeror shall provide pricing for the stated offer item. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes.

The price proposal must include signed SF 1442 with acknowledgment of any amendments, Price Schedule Worksheet, Offeror’s Bid Guarantee documents, Calc. of Self Performed Work General Contractor, Contractor Safety and Environmental Record Eval Form, and UEI TAX ID

The proposed price will be analyzed for reasonableness. It may also be analyzed for the different divisions of work to be performed, reflects a clear understanding of the requirement;

and is consistent with the Offeror’s Technical Proposal. A detailed price breakdown will be required, and Offerors shall provide a detailed breakout of pricing on the Pricing Schedule worksheet provided with the solicitation.

If a detailed price breakdown is not included in the Offeror’s price proposal, the contractor may be excluded from further consideration of contract award. Pricing will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.4 to determine reasonableness and evaluate potential performance risks. In this context, reasonableness will be determined by comparing offered prices with the government estimate. Price will be evaluated as either reasonable or unreasonable. The Government reserves the right to cancel subject RFP and re-solicit via another mechanism should a fair and reasonable price not be achieved, or reasonableness of price cannot be determined.
