PROPOSAL EVALUATION AND CONTRACT AWARD

I. ELIGIBILITY FOR CONTRACT AWARD

In accordance with FAR 1.602-1(b), no contract shall be entered into unless the Contracting Officer ensures that all requirements of law, executive orders, regulations, and other applicable procedures, including clearances and approvals, have been met. This includes the requirement of FAR 9.103 that no award shall be made unless the Contracting Officer makes an affirmative determination of responsibility. To be determined responsible, a prospective contractor must meet the general standards in FAR 9.104-1 and any special standards set forth in the solicitation in accordance with FAR 9.104-2.

II. SOURCE SELECTION USING BEST VALUE TRADE OFF PROCESS

The Government will select the offer that represents the best value to the Government by using the trade-off process described in FAR Part 15. This process permits trade-offs between price and technical factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced offer.

The award decision will be based on a comparative assessment of proposals against all source selection criteria in the solicitation. Proposals shall not use broad statements such as: “Offeror understands”, or “will comply with the specifications”, or statements paraphrasing the specifications, and general or overly broad statements such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used”. Proposals with these types of statements will be rated non-acceptable.

III. EVALUATION FACTORS (VOLUME II) AND SPECIFIC TECHNICAL EVALUATION CRITERIA

All technical evaluation factors, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price. The Government is concerned with obtaining the most advantageous balance between technical merit/quality and cost/price to the Government. The degree of importance of price could become greater depending upon the equality of the technical proposals. If competing technical proposals are determined to be essentially equal, price could become the controlling factor. The Government may award a contract on the basis of initial offers received without discussions; therefore, the Offeror’s proposal should contain the best terms from a technical and price standpoint.

The evaluation process essentially consists of three parts: proposal compliance review and responsibility determination, technical/quality evaluation, and price evaluation.

A. Proposal Compliance Review: This is an initial review to ensure that all required forms and certifications are completed and that both a technical and price proposal were received.

B. Technical/Quality Evaluation: The SSEB will evaluate and rate those proposals passing the first review, above. Proposals will be evaluated against the RFP requirements. Factors will be rated on an “Not Applicable, Unsatisfactory, Marginal, Satisfactory, Very Good, Exceptional Basis”. Factor 1 will be rated as the most important followed by Factor 2 and 3.

SECTION 00 22 16 - 3

C. Price Evaluation: The SSEB will evaluate price proposals independent of the technical/quality evaluation. The SSEB will not have access to price information until completion of the technical/quality evaluation. The proposed price will be analyzed for reasonableness. It may also be analyzed to determine whether it is realistic for the work to be performed; reflects a clear understanding of the requirements; and is consistent with the Offeror’s technical proposals. All offers with separately price line items and/or sub line items will be analyzed for unbalanced pricing.

FACTOR 1: SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE AND TECHNICAL COMPETENCE

Sub Factor 1: Show two examples where the company has successfully completed two renovation projects on Historic Properties that were either on the National Historic registry or at least 50 years.

Sub Factor 2: Explain how you intend to construct the project so that it integrates with the existing environment and blends into the historic nature of the Fort Rosecrans Cemetery.

Superior ratings will be given to showing work on National Cemeteries and also showing how work will be constructed with minimal interruptions to the working of the cemetery.

(The page limit for each project in sub factor 1 is 2 pages and 3 pages for sub factor 2)

FACTOR 2: KEY PERSONNEL
