1. PREPARATION AND SUBMITTAL OF PROPOSALS

a. GENERAL INFORMATION.

Selection of an offeror for contract award will be made on the basis of an assessment of each offeror’s response to the Request for Proposal (RFP). Proposals submitted by Teaming Arrangements other than VA Joint Ventures will not be considered.

If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant project experience should be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity. If the Joint Venture does not have shared experience, projects shall be submitted for each Joint Venture partner. As a Request for Proposals (RFP) based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) Source Selection Process, in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15.103-2, the VA will make the award based on the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-price factors. The Seven (7) evaluation factors for determination of technical acceptability consist of:

4.Technical Experience of Structural Steel experience of the structural Steel (Designer/Fabricator and erector) 5.Technical Construction Experience of the Direct Digital Controls subcontractor;

6. Technical Qualifications of Proposed Key Staffing

7. Contractor Safety Plan to include Infection Control Risk Assessments and implemented control measures
