About this file
This document provides adjectival rating standards and definitions to evaluate proposals for a design project to improve a central utility plant at the Las Vegas VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System. Evaluators will rate proposals as exceptional, good, acceptable, marginal, or unacceptable based on strengths and weaknesses in meeting or exceeding stated requirements. An exceptional proposal exceeds all requirements and proactively mitigates risks, while an unacceptable proposal fails to meet minimum needs and does not address risks adequately. Strengths increase performance quality or cost effectiveness, and weaknesses decrease ability to meet requirements or increase unsuccessful performance risk. This pre-solicitation opportunity is for architectural and engineering services from the Department of Veterans Affairs for project 593-22-350.

ADJECTIVAL RATING STANDARDS USED TO RATE EACH FIRM
Evaluation Rating Standards
| Rating |
| Standard |
| Exceptional |
| An exceptional proposal contains significant strengths and no weaknesses. The proposal exceeds the performance and technical capability requirements defined in the SOW. The evaluator has no doubt that the Offeror can successfully achieve the requirements in the SOW if the technical approach proposed is followed. The Offeror acknowledges risks and develops an approach that proactively identifies and mitigates risks and looks to reduce or eliminate future risks. |
| Good |
| A good proposal contains significant strengths, and only a few minor weaknesses. The Offeror’s proposal meets the performance and technical capability requirements as defined in the SOW. The evaluator has a high degree of confidence that the Offeror can successfully achieve the requirements in the SOW if the technical approach proposed is followed. The Offeror acknowledges technical or schedule risk and develops an approach capable of mitigating all apparent risks effectively. |
| Acceptable |
| An acceptable proposal contains strengths that outweigh any existing weaknesses. The Offeror’s proposal meets the performance and technical capability requirements defined in the SOW. The evaluator is confident that the Offeror can successfully achieve the requirements in the SOW if the technical approach proposed is followed. |
| Marginal |
| The proposal meets the bare minimum performance and technical capability requirements defined in the SOW and at the same time have multiple weaknesses. The evaluator is not confident that the Offeror can successfully complete the required tasking without significant Government oversight or participation. The proposal either fails to address risks or the proposed risk mitigation approach is not deemed to be sufficient to manage the risk. |
| Unacceptable |
| An unacceptable proposal that contains one or more weaknesses and deficiencies. Proposal fails to meet specified minimum performance and technical capability requirements defined in the SOW. The evaluator is confident that the Offeror will be unable to successfully complete the required tasking. The proposal does not adequately acknowledge or address risk, mitigate risk, or may actually introduce risk. |
ADJECTIVAL NARRATIVE STANDARDS AND DEFINITIONS
Definitions
The following will provide details on pertinent definitions used with evaluation ratings:
Strengths
“Strength” means that part of a response that ultimately represents a benefit to the Government and is expected to increase the quality of the offeror’s performance. Strengths are typically, but not limited to, high quality personnel, organizational experience, management, past performance, and/or technical capabilities that may allow the offeror to perform the work more cost effectively or provide enhanced performance. A strength may be either major or minor depending on the degree to which it will benefit the Government and/or increase the quality of the offeror’s performance. All strengths noted in the final report will presumed to be “minor strengths” unless otherwise noted.
Weaknesses
“Weakness means a flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. It is that part of a response which detracts from the offeror’s ability to meet the Government’s requirements or results in inefficient or ineffective performance. Weaknesses are typically, but not limited to, less-than-average quality personnel, facilities, organizational experience, management, past performance, and/or technical capabilities that may cause the offeror to perform the work less cost effectively or not to meet requirements. A weakness may be either major or minor, depending on the degree to which it detracts from the offeror’s ability to meet requirements and/or increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. All weaknesses noted in the final report will presumed to be “minor weakness” unless otherwise noted.
Deficiencies
“Deficiency” means any part of a response that fails to meet a material Government requirement as established in the solicitation (e.g., omission of data required to assess compliance with the evaluation factors; ambiguities that must be resolved before assessment of compliance can be made; or, an exception to any of the terms and conditions of the solicitation), or a combination of major weaknesses in a proposal that increases risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.
| Note |
| Since it is impossible to anticipate the nature of each offeror’s proposal in advance or to describe the myriad qualities and considerations that could result in one of the above meanings for ratings, these definitions should be looked upon as examples of typical characteristics of that rating, and should be used as guide or reference rather than a rigid measure to be followed word-for-word. Evaluators will be instructed to select the rating/definition that most closely fits the value or desirability of the offeror’s proposed performance, after providing a narrative description of the evaluation. |
