Evaluation Factors For Award

(1) Basis for Award: The Government intends to award a firm-fixed price contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA).

(2) Evaluation Factors: The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

• Factor 1: Total Price

• Factor 2: Technical Acceptability

• Subfactor 1.1: Project Approach: (Acceptable/Unacceptable)

a. Describe how you will complete the work in the SOW. Offers shall clearly demonstrate how the proposed barrier solution meets each salient characteristic outlined in the SOW. For crash-rated barriers, provide documented proof of successful crash testing and associated ratings. The offer should detail the proposed mounting methodology, ensuring adherence to manufacturer specifications. Furthermore, the offer must explicitly address how the proposed barriers will conform to the requirements stipulated in UFC 4-022-02, Selection and Application of Vehicle Barriers, and UFC 4-022-03, Security Fences and Gates as required in SOW paragraphs 1.2, Addendum 001 and Addendum 002.

• Subfactor 1.2: Project Management: (Acceptable/Unacceptable)

a. Project Manager: Identify your Project Manager and their contact information. Briefly describe their experience managing similar projects.

b. Schedule: Describe how you will coordinate the work schedule with the government and complete the project within 110 days from the date of award.

(3) Technical Acceptability: To be eligible for award, an offeror must receive an "Acceptable" rating for both Subfactors 1.1 and 1.2 under the Technical Acceptability Factor. If an offeror receives an "Unacceptable" rating for either subfactor, the entire proposal will be considered Technically Unacceptable and will not be eligible for award.

(4) Evaluation Standards: The Government will evaluate the Offeror's Total Price and Technical Proposal based on the information provided to determine the Offeror's understanding of the requirements and ability to perform the work.

• Acceptable: The proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation and demonstrates a satisfactory understanding of the requirements in the SOW.

• Unacceptable: The proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

(5) Evaluation Process:

a. The Government will first conduct a review of the overall quoted pricing and place the Offerors in order from lowest to highest price. Prices will be evaluated for reasonableness.

Generally, adequate price competition will satisfy the criteria of price reasonableness; other methods include, but are not limited to, historical prices paid and comparison to the Independent Government Estimate.

b. Beginning with the lowest quoted price, Offeror's technical proposals will be evaluated as "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" in accordance with the description at "(3) Technical Acceptability" to determine whether it is Technically Acceptable. Technical evaluation will end when either all quotes have been evaluated for technical acceptability or there are two technically acceptable quotes. Only those Offerors whose Technical Proposals are determined to be Technically Acceptable will be considered for award.

c. Award will be made to the Offeror whose offer is determined to be the lowest price and technically acceptable.

d. An offer may be rejected if the offeror takes exception to the solicitation requirements, or if the offeror's proposal indicates that the offeror does not clearly understand the requirements.
