C. Work that was 100% completed within a time period of no more than FIVE (5) years prior to the date of submitting this proposal. If the contract/work is incomplete, or was completed more than five years prior to the date of submitting this proposal, it will not be deemed relevant.

Offerors may provide information on problems encountered on the identified contracts and the offeror’s corrective actions. The government also reserves the right to consider past performance information from all available sources, in addition to any information submitted by offerors.

FACTOR 2: TECHNICAL CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE OF PRIME CONTRACTOR.

To be technically acceptable, offerors must provide evidence that they have the technical qualifications and experience needed to meet the technical performance requirements of this project.
