Award Selection Process:

Award will be made in accordance with FAR Part 13 to the offeror that provides the best value that meets the technical capabilities.

The Government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors listed below. The Government will consider: Technical Approach / Project Management, Past Performance, Applicable Industry Standards, Inspection and Acceptance Processes, Safety, Insurance Requirements, and Price. The factors listed below are in descending order of importance.

When combined, all other evaluation factors are significantly more important than price. However, price will contribute substantially to the selection decision. The evaluated price will not be rated or scored but will be a consideration for reasonableness in the final source selection decision.

The Government reserves the right to award to a technically capable offeror who is not the lowest price.

1) Technical Approach /Project Management – please limit to 12 pgs. (non-price) (pass/fail)

a. Provide written treatment approach including methods, products, and materials anticipated for use in addressing the treatment needs of the skylight. Methods should be explained in sufficient detail to make judgement as to its appropriateness for this object.

b. Provide anticipated workplan and timetable; description of site where work is to take place; methods of storage of objects if objects are at contractor’s site; sequence of work.

c. Proposal must include details on how the glass/related stained glass skylight components will be protected and packed for transport back to Thomas Edison National Historical Park (Glenmont) when the conservation work is complete. Contractor shall ensure NPS property is packed in such a way that the property is secure and protected from damage from handling, vibrations, moisture, weather hazards, and all other causes. Strategies such as padding and plastic wrapping shall be used to provide optimum protection for NPS property from the time it is removed from its current location at Morristown NHP to the time it is placed in the Glenmont conservatory at Thomas Edison’s home, Glenmont.

d. The offeror’s team shall have a qualified conservator, identified as the Prime Contractor, with a minimum of three years of stained-glass conservation training obtained through a degree program or a comparable period of apprenticeship with a reputable conservation services provider. This qualified conservator shall also have experience in conformance with the American Institute for Conservation (AIC) Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Practice (website address -http://www.conservation-us.org/docs/default-source/governance/code-of-ethics-and-guidelines-for-practice.pdf ) and conform to AIC standards. Applicant shall also demonstrate familiarity with the NPS conservation and preservation standards and the Secretary of the Interior Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (See NPS Museum Handbook at https://www.doi.gov/museum/nps-handbooks and https://www.nps.gov/tps/standards.htm for more information) and conform to these standards.

2) Past Performance – please limit to 5 pgs (non-price) (pass/fail)

a. An evaluation of offeror’s past performance information will be conducted subsequent to the technical evaluation. The offeror must have demonstrated successful operations and maintenance of a similar contract, to include scale and complexity.

b. Offeror must provide at least 3 narrative examples and points of contact for projects of similar past work carried out in the past 10 years. Offeror shall have demonstrated successful treatments of objects similar in size, condition, and historical value.

At least one of these examples must include conservation of a stained-glass architectural element from the historic period of circa 1880—1947.

i. Please note that all past performance work cited to meet this requirement must also be conservation work performed on stained glass features that are part of an AAM accredited museum collection (or equivalent) or are part of a historic structure identified on the National Register of Historic Places.

ii. Please note that conservation work performed on stained glass elements from a private residence, a local church, a local historical society, or a local municipal building does not meet this requirement. In this case, local is defined as not being nationally significant.

c. Offeror must provide evidence of this past performance work in their bidding proposal, in order for their bid to be considered.

Offeror must provide:

i. the name of the institution where this work was performed,

i. The contractor is expected to take reasonable precautions to prevent on-site accidents such as mitigating tripping hazards, refraining from using hazardous or flammable materials, not blocking entrances or exits to the building, and applying standard work guidelines and common-sense judgment to prevent instances of fire, smoke damage, flood, personal injury, or other types of damage, accidents, or injury.
