FTA Tenant Improvement Floor 31st JFB Solicitation Number: 47PL0120R0064 complete in every detail.

It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure the completeness of the technical Proposal; hence, the Government technical review team will evaluate on the basis of the information provided in the technical approach. The Government shall not assume that an Offeror possesses any capability unless specified in the proposal. All requirements specified in the Task Order Agreement, SOW, addendums, attachments, exhibits, and references are mandatory. By submission of a proposal, the Offeror represents that they will perform all requirements specified in the ask Order Agreement, SOW, addendums, attachments, exhibits, and references.

Copies of correspondence soliciting and contacted, Subcontractor responses

II. Task Order Basis of Award

The Government will evaluate each proposal as a whole on the basis of price and technical merit and award to the offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government using a Best Value, Trade-Off methodology. Best Value, Trade-Off allows the government to award to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation is technically acceptable with lowest reasonable price.

This approach allows the Government to award to the responsible offeror, whose offer conforms to the solicitation as determined by the Task Order Contracting Officer, and is the best value to the

FTA Tenant Improvement Floor 31st JFB Solicitation Number: 47PL0120R0064

Government (not necessarily the highest rated or lowest prided offer). All proposals that conformed to the Solicitation requirements, and that were evaluated with ratings of “Satisfactory” or above will be ranked against the following factors for this Task Order award:

FACTOR 1 Project Management and Planning FACTOR 2 Schedule and Phasing Plan FACTOR 3 Experience on Comparable Projects

FACTOR 4 Price

Factor 1 is more important to Factor 2, Factor 1 is more important than Factor 3, Factor 2 is more important than Factor 3, Factor 2 and Factor 3 combined is approximately equal to Factor 1. Factor 1, when combined with Factor 2 and Factor 3 is significantly more important to Factor 4 Price.

NOTE: The importance of price will increase if the non-price (technical) factors of two or more proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of quality (e.g. a tie for the highest rated quote) or if the price of one of those proposal is so high or so low as to significantly diminish the value of a proposal’s technical superiority to the Government.

The Government reserves the right to award on initial offers without discussions. Therefore, Offerors are encouraged to submit their most favorable proposal packages. Offerors are cautioned that proposals containing qualifications, conditions, or expressing unilateral interpretations of the RFP/Task order requirements may be rejected by the Task Order Contracting Officer. In the case where most if not all proposals are rated at “Marginal” or “Unsatisfactory” or there is adverse past performance information, the Government may choose to enter into communications/clarifications/negotiations to address said information. In the case where it is determined that negotiations will be held, notification will be provided to Offerors individually. The Government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals if such action is deemed in the Government’s best interest. The Government may accept minor irregularities in the proposals received if the irregularities are determined to be insignificant or inconsequential to the overall evaluation.

III. Technical Evaluation

1. Definitions: The following definitions shall be used in the evaluation of proposals submitted in response to this Solicitation, as amended.

Weakness A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Significant Weakness

Strength Means an aspect of a proposal that appreciably decreases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance or a favorable attribute of the proposal that provides benefit and/or efficiency over the minimum requirements of the solicitation that represents a significant benefit to the Government.

Submittal Requirements:

The offeror shall submit a minimum of two, with a maximum of four, project examples demonstrating relevant experience. “Relevant” is defined as projects similar to the project described in this RFP in scope, magnitude and complexity and have a logical connection with the requirements of this RFP.

Examples of relevant experience include similar construction projects in office buildings.

Examples shall include Offeror’s ability to effectively coordinate A-E disciplines, Construction trades, and the ability to complete projects within the approved schedule, and critical phasing of work.

Examples of relevant experience include the Prime Contractor leading similar design-build projects in occupied Federal Office spaces, in Federal leased spaces/facilities, Federal owned buildings or Federal leased or owned Courthouses... Narrative should demonstrate offerors’ ability to ensure delivery of quality product and service; effectively control costs, manage contract changes; complete projects within the approved schedule; and management of resources/subcontractors.

Offerors shall submit a current Point of Contact (POC) for each project. The POC information shall include the name, phone number, and email address for each project submitted.

Also identify whether your firm was the prime or subcontractor for the project listed. If experience is based upon the experience of the PM, Superintendent or trades personnel, ensure to identify those individuals and their relevant experience.

c. For each project presented in relation to this factor, the Offeror shall explain how the characteristics of the project relate to the characteristics of this project. The similarity to this project is more important than the quantity of projects presented. Ensure that valid information is provided for verification purposes for each project presented. Also the Offeror

III. Price Evaluation

FACTOR 4: Price Reasonableness: Price will not be rated. Submit pricing for all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs). Provide total pricing for the entire offer. Offeror must submit detailed pricing to include detailed sub-contractor pricing.

Price will be evaluated using various price analysis techniques and the following:

The proposed prices will be evaluated for reasonableness. Price reasonableness determines whether an Offeror’s price is too high or too low. Price will also be checked for appearance of unbalanced line item pricing. Analysis of price proposals will be performed using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 15.404 in order to determine price reasonableness. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404-1. Analysis of pricing for the individual CLINs and SLINs will be compared to the description of what is be included by the Offeror for the work matches the requirements of the Solicitation and associated attachments, exhibits, and references.

Total Price: The total price is the sum of the prices for all the Contract Line Items (CLINs) of this solicitation (Total Price equals CLIN 0001 plus CLIN 0002 plus CLIN 0003 plus CLIN 0004 plus CLIN 0005.
