About this file
This document is an instructions sheet for a Sustainability Factor Table related to a federal contract opportunity. The table outlines how offerors are to complete the form by committing to IRA (Inflation Reduction Act) limits for various construction materials, including concrete, asphalt, and steel. Offerors will receive raw scores based on their commitments, which will then be weighted and summed to calculate a Total Weighted Score.
The related federal contract opportunity is for the Ysleta Land Port of Entry Pavement Replacement Repairs Project in El Paso, Texas. This is a small business set-aside solicitation with an estimated construction value between $10-15 million. The project involves removing and replacing approximately 397,975 square feet of concrete pavement, and also includes surface reconstruction, joint seals, crack seals, and temporary pavement. The contract will be funded in part by IRA appropriations and will contain IRA-specific requirements, including an evaluation factor favoring construction materials with the lowest embodied carbon.

Offeror Instructions
| SUSTAINABILITY FACTOR INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS |
| 1. Offerors shall complete Column B of the Sustainability Table with the applicable IRA Limit they commit to meet for each IRA-Eligible Material. |
NOTE: If an offeror is utilizing multiple manufacturers/suppliers within one LEC material subcategory, and those materials achieve different GSA GWP limits, they shall, for evaluation purposes, self-score based on the material/product offered that has the highest GWP. (For example: within the 4,000 PSI concrete subcategory, if Offeror A's 4,000 PSI structural concrete meets GSA’s Top 40% GWP limit, and their 4,000 PSI site concrete meets GSA’s Top 20% limit, Offeror A shall use Top 40% in their scoring.)
2. Based upon the offeror's committment, the offeror will receive a number of Raw Scores in Column C, one for each IRA-Eligible Material required by the Contract. Column C will be automatically populated based on the offeror's input in Column B, as follows:
- Offerors will receive a Raw Score of 100 for each IRA-Eligible Material commitment that is better (lower) than GSA’s Top 20% Limits.
- Offerors will receive a Raw Score of 40 for each IRA-Eligible Material commitment that is only better (lower) than GSA’s Top 40% Limits.
- Offerors will receive a Raw Score of 20 for each IRA-Eligible Material commitment that is only better (lower) than GSA’s Better Than Average Limit.
| 3. The solicitation provides an LEC Materials Evaluation Weight in Column D. This weight will be multipled by the Raw Score (Column C), to automatically calculate the Weighted Score in Column D. which will be automatically calculated based on the Raw Score. The Weighted Score for each material will be rounded to the nearest hundredth decimal (i.e., two decimal places to the right of the whole number). |
| 4. The Total Weighted Score will automatically add the Weighted Score for each material, rounded to the nearest hundredth decimal. |
