C. Task Order Price Proposal: Provide a price proposal which corresponds to the work divisions specified in the Project Documents. The preferred format for review is a Construction Specification Institute (CSI) MasterFormat CSI format at level 2.

5. Method of Award (Offer Evaluation):

____ Low Price ___x_ Low Price Technically Acceptable ____ Best Value Trade-off

A. Evaluation of Offers – Lowest Price Technically Acceptable

(i) The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal(s) represents the best value from the selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors.

Proposals will be evaluated for acceptability but will not be ranked using the non- price factors.

(ii) The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government’s interest.

(iii) The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals received.

(iv) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award on initial proposals. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal shall contain the offeror’s best price. If multiple line items are priced, each line item will be evaluated to ensure that balanced pricing exists. If the line items are determined to be unbalanced for the offeror that presents the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal, the Government will allow that offeror the opportunity to balance the line items prior to award. If the offeror cannot, or chooses not to, balance the line items, the

Government shall deem the offeror’s proposal as unacceptable.

(v) A written award or acceptance of a proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified in the proposal shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

(vi) Unsuccessful offerors will be notified in accordance with FAR 15.503.

B. Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Evaluation Process

(i) The Government will evaluate all technical proposals on a pass/fail basis to determine all offers that meet the minimum technically acceptable requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. An unacceptable rating for any one factor makes the entire proposal unacceptable. Any costs incurred by offerors in preparing or submitting offers are the offerors' sole responsibility; the United States will not reimburse any offeror for any proposal preparation costs.

(ii) Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors.

(iii) The following non-price factors will be evaluated for acceptability:

● Technical Approach Narrative

6. Determination of Responsibility: GSA is required to affirm responsibility per the requirements of FAR 9.104 for all MATOC IDIQ contract holders. GSA will review information provided with proposals and will also verify information by publicly available systems, such as but not limited to the System for Award Management (SAM). The Contracting Officer's determination of an Offeror's responsibility or non-responsibility may be based upon any information obtained by the Contracting Officer.

7. Price Reasonableness: The proposed prices will be evaluated for reasonableness. Price reasonableness determines whether an Offeror's price is too high or too low for the anticipated work effort and is used when Certified Cost or Pricing Data is not required. Analysis of price proposals will be performed using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 15.404.

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.

8. Unbalanced Prices: Offers must include balanced prices. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment of unreasonably high prices. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques. All offers with separately priced line items or subline items shall be analyzed to determine if the prices are unbalanced. If price analysis techniques indicate that an offer is unbalanced, the contracting officer shall:

● Consider the risks to the Government associated with the unbalanced pricing in determining the competitive range and in making the source selection decision; and

● Consider whether award of the contract will result in paying unreasonably high prices for contract performance. An offer may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

9. Total Evaluated Price: The offeror shall provide and clearly describe all assumptions used when developing their Seed project cost Proposal as though the offeror were submitting a Proposal for a new firm fixed-price construction project task order for the seed project in EMATOC RFP Section J - Attachment F.

The individual tasks associated with executing the seed project with all costs should be broken out appropriately. The offeror should apply the fully loaded hourly rates (exclusive of profit) on each task and shall include any supplies, materials, travel costs, subcontracting costs, etc., that may be needed to carry out the tasks. The offeror shall provide backup material for their costs proposed (i.e., the team subcontractor(s) or other subcontractors cost Proposal(s), Proposals for rental equipment from at least three (3) sources, etc.). If competition was not able to be obtained, offeror should describe what the process used to attempt to obtain competition, and why it ultimately wasn’t successful. The offeror will find the Construction (Davis Bacon) Wage

Rate Determination provided in section J to be used as a minimum base rate only. The adequacy and value of the cost data, whether the costs are realistic for the work to be performed, whether the costs reflect the offeror’s understanding of the requirements, and whether the costs are consistent with the technically proposed method used in the sample problem, will be determined from this information. The Construction (Davis Bacon) Wage Rate

Determination provided in Section J - Attachment G, is intended for use in preparing the seed project only. Each task order will have the appropriate wage determination as part of the

TORFP/TO Award.

The offeror shall include all professional and support effort such as project management, professional service resources and overhead costs, as applicable. The cost estimate should be submitted in Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) Masterformat ® (2018 edition) at Level 4 and shall provide sufficient information to adequately and accurately capture the projected project costs. Information regarding Masterformat® can be found at the following websites:Master Format 2018 Edition

Direct costs should be detailed by labor, equipment, and material, and should include subcontractor markups, when applicable. All quotations and documentation will be noted in the Proposal. Indirect cost categories such as prime contractor’s home office and field office overheads and profit should be identified, if applicable, and appropriate costs included for each in the estimate. Bonding costs should be included for the cost analysis. Include all subcontractor quotes/proposals for supporting documentation.

10. Non-Price Factor: Seed Project Technical Approach (See L&M on EMATOC RFP for page limits)

● Subfactor 1 - Organizational Structure

Organization chart depicting project team members, hierarchy, and lines of communication with proposed team arrangements or subcontractors at the task order level.

● Subfactor 2 - Proposed Work Plan & Schedule Management (Technical

Approach)

1) The technical approach shall not make reference to price data. The technical approach will be evaluated strictly on technical acceptability. As the technical approach will primarily describe the capability of your organization to perform the requirements of the contract, it should be specific and complete in every detail. A positive statement to the effect that you will accomplish all requirements per the statement of work (SOW) is not acceptable. The proposal shall not merely offer to perform work in accordance with the

SOW, but shall outline the actual methods proposed as specifically as possible. It is the

Offeror’s responsibility to ensure the completeness of the technical approach; 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 SOW are mandatory. By submission of a proposal, the Offeror represents that they will perform all requirements specified in the SOW.

a. Using the task order project documents – SOW and attachments 7.1-7.11

Demonstrate the capabilities of your firm to execute the project described.

Documents may include but are not limited to concept drawings, execution narratives, written discussions, supporting engineering and planning documents. Describe procedures, processes and methods for tracking the progress of the project and interface with the Government from beginning to end. Provide a standard process or checklist used to validate and understand the customer’s requirement.

2) Narrative shall include name of key prime contractor employees and qualifications of each discipline (to include any designer) that will be working on this project. This narrative must include trades for subcontractors and names of subcontractors that will be working on this project. Manufacture product information is to be included as attachment to narrative. Narrative shall demonstrate Offeror’s ability to effectively coordinate trades, ability to complete the project within the approved schedule, and critical phasing of work. Narrative should demonstrate offerors’ ability to ensure delivery of quality product and service; and management of resources/subcontractors.

a. The Contractor shall submit the Project Schedule, Work Breakdown Structure

Tier III; this level subdivides each of the major work packages into major work components or deliverables. The Contractor shall submit the Project Schedule that can be manipulated and is editable.

b. The Contractor shall submit the Project Schedule electronically that can be readily uploaded into Microsoft Project 2010® and hard copy print format. Offeror shall provide a Preliminary Project Schedule narrative and a project schedule in

MS Project format. The proposed schedule will run from the contract award date through the required date for substantial completion of construction and all punch list items. Detailed methods of accelerating the proposed schedule may be evaluated more favorably.

STANDARD FOR EVALUATION:

The Government shall evaluate the relative merits of each Offeror’s Technical Approach as it applies to the Scope of Work and the Schedule provided by the offeror.

11. Task Order Contract Award: The Government intends to award a single task order resulting from this Task Order RFP. The Government may award without discussions. If discussions are required, then the Task Order Contracting Officer will establish the competitive range (if required), open negotiations, close negotiations, and determine the award selection.
