Attachment If applicable, include an Attachment stating Evaluation Factors and significant Subfactors representing the key areas of importance and emphasis to be considered in the source selection decision.

Describe your criteria. In addition to Relevant Past Performance and Price, you may have a Technical Proposal element in the evaluation. Text from previous solicitations may be edited for use here. CO will determine whether to use Best Value or LPTA after reviewing COR comments here.

I think LPTA is probably fine for this contract.

TECHNICAL PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

General Proposals shall be submitted in two parts: a technical proposal and a price proposal. Each part shall be separate and complete in itself so that evaluation of one may be accomplished independently of the other. The price proposal shall be submitted with the solicitation forms.

Offerors are cautioned that sufficient and detailed information must be presented in their proposals to enable the Government to evaluate their proposals fully in accordance with the evaluation and award criteria contained herein. The Government is not obligated to ask for additional information and in the absence of appropriate information, the proposal will be rated deficient.

Price Proposal A completed schedule of items with pricing information completes this requirement.

Technical Proposal Offerors shall submit technical information for their firm and any proposed major subcontractors. The offeror shall submit information that illustrates a technical understanding of the work to be performed.

1) Relevant Past Performance:

All offerors should provide relevant past performance with references.

(2) Technical Approach:

All offerors should show a high level of understanding of the work to be performed. This can be accomplished by submitting with the proposal the following information:

(1) Description of how the work will be performed

(2) Construction Schedule (accomplishing work while meeting weather conditions)

(3) List of equipment to be used

(3) Cost or Price: A completed schedule of items with subsequent pricing information completes this requirement.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

Technical Evaluation Criteria

Technical proposals will be evaluated and rated by a Technical Evaluation Panel. Proposals shall be prepared in accordance with the proposal preparation instructions. The following factors and their associated sub-factors will be used in the technical evaluation process are listed below: Relevant Past Performance and Technical approach of work to be performed.

1) Relevant Past Performance:

a) Relevant Past Performance and associated references

2) Technical Approach:

b) Understanding of Proposed Work: Offeror demonstrates a technical understanding of the proposed work including but not limited to preliminary scheduling, equipment requirements, site conditions and location, project challenges, and material requirements.

(3) Acceptability:

We will view the acceptability of each offer on a pass or fail criteria. An offeror’s documented response to the solicitation will not be deemed acceptable, if not received by the specified closing date and time, and the submitted proposal not clearly demonstrate the offerors understanding the needed work. In such cases the offeror will be viewed as having “failed” this criterion and will not be considered for award. An acceptable offer will receive a “pass” rating and will then be evaluated solely on price.

(4) Cost or Price:

Each acceptable offer will be evaluated for reasonableness of proposal price. This criterion will include consideration of cost information provided. It is the Government's intent to assess the unit prices to determine reasonableness and offeror's understanding of the work and ability to perform the contract. The importance of price may become greater as the differences between technical proposals decrease. Where technical proposals are determined to be substantially equal, price may control award.

(b) Award. 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 the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
