Current Claim Process

Single Family Supplemental Claims Overview

Jacqueline Roy Single Family Review and Compliance Section

A supplemental claim is filed after the initial claim has been settled. The purpose for filing a supplemental claim is to request an adjustment to the initial claim payment in the event of delayed disbursements or to correct errors on the initial claim submission.

What Is A Supplemental Claim?

All supplemental claims are received via paper submission.

Supplemental claims must be received within 6 months of initial claim settlement.

100% of all supplemental claims are reviewed

How Are Supplemental Claims Processed?

Supplemental claims previously submitted and returned to the mortgagee for correction and/or further information must be received by the Department as soon as possible, but no later than 45 days from the Department's request.

Any subsequent supplemental claims submitted for the same case will be denied UNLESS it meets one of the following exceptions:

Approval to file the additional supplemental claim is granted by the Single Family Claims Branch Chief.

The subsequent supplemental claim concerns hazard insurance adjustments or additional unpaid principal balance -- no filing approval necessary.

BEST VALUE AWARD

The government will use a best value trade off process; thus the Government may award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the offeror with the highest rated technical proposal. Each offeror’s total evaluated price will be traded off against the offeror’s technical portion of the proposal, to determine the overall best value to the Government, if needed. The best value is represented by the most advantageous offer, price and non-price factors considered.

Evaluation factors are listed in descending order of importance. All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price. However, as the offerors become more equal in technical merit, the importance of price to the evaluation decision will increase. The Government shall make award to the offeror who represents the overall best value to the Government.

SELECTION OF OFFERORS

a. The technical evaluation panel will evaluate each proposal in strict conformity with the evaluation criteria of the RFP (Section 2 (G), utilizing adjectival ratings and written critiques.

b. The price proposal will be subject to a price analysis. The panel may suggest that the Contracting Officer request clarifying information from an offeror.

SELECTION OF OFFERORS CONT.

c. It is the Government's intent to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should be their best effort and contain the offeror's best terms from a price standpoint. If award is made without discussions, proposal revisions will not be permitted. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer (CO) later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

Technical Proposal – Volume 1

There are four (4) technical evaluation factors in descending order of importance:

Technical Understanding/Approach Management Plan Key Personnel Past Performance

MITIGATION PLAN

HUDAR 2452.209-72 Organization Conflict of Interest - Mitigation plan in accordance with PWS shall be submitted with the proposal as an attachment.

Mitigation plan shall be submitted with the proposal. These plans will not be evaluated however; they will be reviewed by the Contracting Officer as a part of the responsibility determination and incorporated into the contract.

Evaluation Factors Factor 1 - Technical Approach

The Government will evaluate the following regarding the proposed Technical Understanding/ Approach:

How well the proposal demonstrates logical and feasible methods for meeting the requirements described in the Performance Work Statement, Supplemental Claims Processing Task 1 through Task 6 and SAMS Support Services Task 1 through 4 meeting the performance objectives outlined within the solicitation.

How well the project schedule demonstrates:

a clear understanding of the required operations and HUD requirements; and

Realistic timeframes for performing all the objectives and associated deliverables identified in the PWS.

The offeror shall submit a project schedule that demonstrates a clear understanding of the required operations and HUD requirements with realistic timeframes for performing all objectives.

Evaluation Factors – cont’d

Factor 1 - Technical Approach

If the offeror is proposing subcontractors, the offeror shall clearly identify what aspects of the work will be performed by the prime and what aspects of the work will be performed by each subcontractor in its technical approach.

Labor mix and level of effort (labor categories and number of hours for each labor category). Offerors are cautioned not to include pricing in the labor mix/level of effort matrix submitted with the technical proposal.

Factor 2 - Management Plan

The Government will evaluate the following regarding the proposed Management Plan:

The offeror shall submit a Management Plan that is clear, concise, and demonstrates that it will result in meeting all the objectives outline in the PWS;

The offeror shall submit a Management Plan that details;

Key Personnel and responsibilities;

Staffing Plan – The plan shall demonstrates sufficiency of their overall Staffing Plan and the degree to which it reflects a realistic awareness of the level of effort and workload balancing that is required to support the tasks as required in the Performance Work Statement. A plan that demonstrates a realistic awareness of the level of effort and mix of labor categories that is to be effective and efficient staff.

Proposed subcontracting arrangements and reporting relationships of all subcontractors A plan that demonstrates successful communication and coordination between the contractor and the government schedules of all tasks and subtasks, meetings, and deliverables

Evaluation Factors - cont’d Factor 3 – Key Personnel

The Government will evaluate the following regarding the proposed Key Personnel:

Project Manager
Alternate Project Manager
Subject Matter Expert in Forward Mortgage Loan Servicing and ClaimsProcessing

How well the resumes demonstrate relevant prior experience, qualifications, education, and certification, if applicable, for personnel proposed to fill the key positions identified in the solicitation;

How well the number of key personnel identified and/or the amount of time each will commit to the effort, reflect a clear understanding of the requirement described in the Performance Work Statement; and

Whether letters of commitment were submitted and are acceptable.

Factor 4 – Past Performance In evaluating Past Performance, HUD will address four components – recency, relevancy, quality, and sufficiency. This factor’s primary emphasis is to assess the past performance of the proposed prime contractor (or in the case of joint ventures or some other teaming arrangement, the primary member of the team) or that of substituted key personnel. However, if significant subcontracting/use of other teaming arrangements is anticipated, the past performance history of the proposed subcontractors/other team members must also be evaluated.

• All references will be first assessed for recency and HUD will consider only references performed within the three years immediately prior to submission of the proposal;

• Of those determined to be recent, HUD will assess the degree of similarity in scope, value and magnitude the past performance efforts submitted have to the solicitation requirements to determine relevancy;

• HUD will then assess relevant past performance efforts for quality;

• HUD’s overall assessment will be based upon sufficiency of high quality past performance and risk of nonperformance.

SOLICITATION PROVISION/REQUIREMENTS

Factor 4 – Past Performance – cont’d

The final rating under this factor will encompass the totality of the information provided, including completeness, relevancy, and the depth, breadth, and quality of only relevant past performance for the proposed prime contractor and proposed subcontractor/team members or substituted key personnel. The final rating will range from Excellent (High Confidence) to Unacceptable (Low Confidence). Offerors that have addressed the factor and have no relevant past performance history by the prime, any subcontractors/team members, or substituted key personnel will be rated as Neutral (Unknown Confidence). Offerors that fail to address the factor will be determined to have not complied with the solicitation requirements and will receive the lowest possible rating.

HUD is not restricted to evaluating the information provided by the offeror or the surveys provided by references and may utilize information obtained from any source. HUD will obtain additional information from the Government’s Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), if available.

Price

Price will be evaluated separately from Technical and other non-cost/price factors, and will be evaluated as follows:

Reasonableness. The reasonableness of the prices proposed may be evaluated as follows:

On the basis of adequate price competition, by comparing the proposed prices among offers; and/or;

Comparing proposed prices to the Independent Government Cost Estimate to ensure that prices are reasonable for the results to be achieved; and/or

Comparison of proposed prices to valid historical prices paid, whether by the Government or other than the Government, for the same or similar items, adjusted for material differences and differing terms and conditions, quantities and market and economic factors; and/or

Price cont.

Use of parametric estimating methods/application of rough yardsticks (such as dollars per pound or per horsepower, or other units) to highlight significant inconsistencies that warrant additional pricing inquiry; and/or

Comparison with competitive published price lists, published market prices of commodities, similar indexes, and discount or rebate arrangements; and/or

Comparison of proposed prices with prices obtained through market research for the same or similar items; and/or

Analysis of data other than certified cost or pricing data provided by the offeror at the request of the Contracting Officer.

The total evaluated price will include all option periods, including the value of the 6-month extension if the Option to Extend Services clause at FAR 52.217-8 is included in the solicitation

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by evaluating the cost for the basic period of performance as well as all options. Evaluation of option years will not obligate the Government to exercise the option years. For purposes of evaluating the price of exercising the potential 6-month extension of services using the clause at FAR 52.217-8, 50% of the final option year (six months) value will be added to the total proposed amount for evaluating pricing only, this amount will not be included in the total aggregate value of the resulting contract. This addition is for evaluation purposes only.

The government will evaluate the reasonableness of proposed cost/price for the option periods by assessing the acceptability of the offeror’s methodology used in developing the cost/price estimates. For the cost to be reasonable in its nature and amount, it should not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of a competitive business. Reasonableness takes into account the context of a given source selection, including current market conditions and other factors that affect the ability of an offeror to perform the contract requirements.

Unbalanced Pricing - Offerors are cautioned against submitting an offer that contains unbalanced pricing. 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. The Government will analyze offers to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to separately priced line items. Offers that are determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government

SAMPLE PRICING SHEET

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) 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.

Submission of certified cost or pricing data is not required.

(b) Provide data described below: Submission of data other than certified cost or pricing data may be submitted in the offeror’s own format but in a workable excel spreadsheet to be included their Price Proposal. The offeror shall provide a separate cost breakdown of each Contract Line items (CLIN’s) that is identified in the pricing line items. This shall include the labor categories, number of hours, labor rates, and percentage of effort, labor mix and any other costs that may apply to the total cost of each contract line item.
