EVALUATION CRITERIA
VOLUME I - TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
1) FACTOR 1: Technical Capability The government will evaluate offerors technical understanding of the requirement, the approach, and techniques proposed by the offeror to satisfy the elements of the Statement of Work.
*A Mere repetition of the statement of work does not constitute a satisfactory response.
2) FACTOR 2: Key Personnel The government will evaluate the resume and required qualifications for each Key personnel position.

The Price Proposal must include a unit price for CLIN, on an all or none basis, multiplied by the estimated quantity and sum of all in accordance with the pricing sheet will be evaluated for reasonableness; The Government will evaluate any disclosure/description of the actions that the Offeror has taken, or proposes to take in order to avoid, mitigate, or neutralize the risk to the Government.
BASIS OF AWARD
a) All timely proposals received pursuant to the solicitation will be fully evaluated. The Government will make an award to the responsible offeror whose proposal is the best value to the Government.
The Government will evaluate technical proposals based upon technical factors described above.
Prior to being evaluated in terms of the technical factors, the proposal must meet the requirements set forth in the solicitation. Factors are listed in. The Offeror’s proposed price will be considered independently of the technical factors and will not be accorded with any specific confidence rating.
b) All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are significantly more important than price.
As technical differences narrow, prices will become more important. If there are no significant technical differences, price may be the determining factor for source selection. The Government may or may not award the lowest priced Offeror or highest technically rated Offeror.
c) Award will be made based on best value to the Government, cost and other factors Considered.
EVALUATION FACTORS
Evaluation Factors will receive an overall confidence rating of HIGH, SOME, or LOW as defined below:
RATING SYMBOL DEFINITION
High H The Government has HIGH CONFIDENCE that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with little or no Government intervention.
Some S The Government has SOME CONFIDENCE that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with some Government intervention.
Low L The Government has LOW CONFIDENCE that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract even with Government intervention.
Past Performance will receive an overall risk rating of Low, Medium, or High; a High-risk rating is considered Unacceptable.
SYMBOL DEFINITION
Low Risk Has little potential to cause disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation or performance. Normal quoter effort and normal Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties.
Medium Risk Can potentially cause disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Special quoter emphasis and close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome difficulties.
High Risk Is likely to cause significant disruption of schedule, increased cost of degradation of performance. Is unlikely to overcome any difficulties, even with special quoter emphasis and close Government monitoring.
DETERMINATION OF CONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY
Separate and independent of this evaluation, the Contracting Officer will make a determination of responsibility using the standards listed in FAR 9.104-1. In the event an Offeror is deemed not responsible, the matter must be referred to the Small Business Administration for a Certificate of Competency determination, in accordance with the procedures contained in FAR 19.6 and 15 USC 637(b)(7).
ACCEPTANCE
A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in offer, must result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer, whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

1. The engineering team shall prepare summarized inspection reports containing a description of the buildings, its systems and their conditions.
All of this information will be included in the final BER.
2. Work items proposed shall be completely described as to the nature and extent of work involved and shall include a cost estimate and justification for each recommendation, including the anticipated life expectancy of a system, if applicable, and the location of each deficiency by floor and room number or other means for proper identification purposes.
3. Proposed work items shall be grouped by system and rated with a priority level ranging from one to five according to five categories as follows:
a. Priority 1 – Immediately/Within First Year Items in this category require immediate action and include corrective measures to:
1. Correct life safety and/or code-based hazards.
2. Restore normal service or operation.
3. Stop accelerated deterioration.
4. Replace items that have reached or exceeded their useful service life.
b. Priority 2 – Within the next 2 years Items in this category, if not corrected expeditiously, will become critical within a year. Situations in this category include:
1. Repair systems or components subject to intermittent interruptions.
2. Repair systems or components subject to rapid deterioration.
3. Correct potential safety hazards.
c. Priority 3 – Necessary but not yet critical. Within the next 3-5 years Items in this category include conditions requiring appropriate attention to preclude predictable deterioration or potential downtime and associated damage or higher costs if deferred.
d. Priority 4 – Recommended. Within 6-10 years
Items in this category represent sensible improvements to the existing conditions of the facility. These items are not required for the most basic function of a facility; however, they will improve overall usability and/or reduce long-term maintenance.
e. Priority 5: Code and program enhancements Items in this category include items that do not meet current codes, but are grandfathered under existing conditions. Code compliance will apply as new alterations or renovations occur. Generates a Blast, seismic and progressive collapse requirements should be included in this category.
