(e) Ability to meet the technical requirements of work under NAICS: 238220 - Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning specification requirements. Residential experience does not qualify.

Factor 6 Special Note 1: When an offeror submits its proposal in response to this Request for Proposal, and the name and experience of a specific contractor/subcontractor is a required evaluation factor, such as here, then that contractor/subcontractor who is offered shall be the same contractor/subcontractor who will actually perform the specified work on the project. If, during performance of the contract, it becomes necessary for the contractor to substitute a subcontractor for one of those whose qualifications were the basis for evaluation of the offer and award of the contract, the contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer the same information that was required in the initial proposal regarding the proposed substitute subcontractor. The Contracting Officer shall have the right to review the qualifications of the proposed substitute subcontractor and to approve or disapprove their qualifications. If the proposed substitute subcontractor's qualifications are disapproved by the Contracting Officer, the contractor will propose another subcontractor who does possess equivalent qualifications.

Factor 6 Special Note 2: In the event the prime contractor does not intend to subcontract any of the plumbing, heating and air-conditioning installation and related work, the offeror may utilize information provided under Factor 2 for the submittal requirements of this factor. Factor 6 cannot be left blank. The contractor will still need to provide information for this factor, even if you are submitting the same information as provided in Factor 2.

4. PRICE PROPOSAL:

Price will be evaluated to determine if it is fair and reasonable. Offerors must provide a price for each bid item. In addition, offerors shall also complete the Calculation Worksheet of Self- Performed and Subcontracted Work for each bid item. (See Appendix 1). Overhead, profit and bond costs shall be added after a subtotal of materials and labor costs has been calculated. Price is to be submitted in accordance with the instructions in Block 17 of the Standard Form 1442.

Note: The intent is a single award will be made on CLIN 0001, as there are no bid alternates.

In addition, VAAR 852.219-75 VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting—Certificate of Compliance for Services and Construction (see Appendix 3) must be submitted with the price proposal. The formal certification must be completed, signed, and returned with the offeror’s bid, quotation, or proposal. The Government will not consider offers for award from offerors that do not provide the certification, and all such responses will be deemed ineligible for evaluation and award.

5. BASIS FOR AWARD:

This is a best value tradeoff source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 15.101-1, Tradeoff Process. The Government will select the best overall offer, based upon an assessment of evaluation factors listed in the section entitled Evaluation Criteria. Contract may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, whose offer conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required within the Performance Work Statement) and is judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation factors to represent the most advantageous offer to the Government. As part of making the assessment, a best value analysis will be performed determining whether exceeding the minimum requirements at an associated price provides the best value to the Government.

As a basis for award, trade-offs between price and non-price factors are permitted. THEREFORE, THE GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AWARD TO OTHER THAN THE LOWEST PROPOSED PRICE. However, the degree of importance of price as a factor in determining award could become greater depending upon the equality of the offers evaluated in the non- price factors. The greater the equality of offers within the non- price factors, the more important price becomes in selecting the best value to the Government.

Award for all the work. The Government intends to award one firm fixed price contract as a result of this solicitation. Offers received for less than the stated number of items listed in the schedule will be considered ineligible for award. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors; therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

6. Special Contract Requirements:

a. SUBSTITUTIONS OF SUBCONTRACTORS AND / OR KEY PERSONNEL When an offeror submits its proposal in response to this Request for Proposals, and key personnel who are proposed to work on the project are required to be submitted, those personnel who are offered must be the same personnel who will actually perform on the project. If, during performance of the contract, it becomes necessary for the contractor to substitute personnel for one of those whose qualifications were the basis for evaluation of the offer and award of the contract, the contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer the same information that was required in the initial proposal regarding the proposed substitute employee. The Contracting Officer shall have the right to review the qualifications of the proposed substitute employee and to approve or disapprove his or her qualifications. If the proposed substitute employee's qualifications are disapproved by the Contracting Officer, the contractor will propose another employee who does possess equivalent qualifications.

b. A Determination of Responsibility/ Responsiveness will be accomplished for the apparent awardee prior to processing the award. The above information, along with other information obtained from Government systems, such as CPARS and SAM.gov databases will be used to make the Determination of Responsibility/Responsiveness. Failure to affirm being within the guidelines above or failure to submit the required information will result in a determination of “Non-Responsibility” or “Non-Responsive” for the bidder/offeror. NOTE: Any information received by the Government that would be cause for a negative Determination of Responsibility will make the bidder/offeror ineligible for award.

This requirement is applicable to all subcontracting tiers, and prospective prime contractors are responsible for determining the responsibility of their prospective subcontractors.
