A finalized, more detailed Quality Control Plan (QCP) will be required to be submitted and approved after contract award.

2. MINIMUM STANDARD OF ACCEPTABILITY: The minimum standards of acceptability are met when the Offeror provides:

a) A description of the quality control system, including a chart showing lines of authority and acknowledgement that the Quality Control (QC) Manager shall implement the three-phase control system for all aspects of work specified. The QC System Manager shall report to the project manager or someone higher in the Contractor’s organization. Project Manager in this context shall mean the individual with responsibility for the overall management of the project including quality and production.

The proposal provides a Quality Control approach that effectively addresses the internal processes to identify and prevent deficiencies in the quality of construction. This approach shall also show the plans for implementation ensuring the compliance of regulatory and Specification statutes are strictly adhered

to. The approach shall also clearly address the QC organizational lines of authority and the Offeror’s approach to monitor corrective actions ensuring successful and timely problem resolution. The detailed QC approach shall identify how quality inspections will meet the minimum requirements of the Specifications. The QCP shall effectively address how the Offeror will correct identified discrepancies found during QC checks and the process to provide resolution to the CO/COR for any discrepancies identified in the Specifications or design.

b) The names, qualifications (in resume format), duties, responsibilities, and authorities of each person assigned a Quality Control (QC) manager. Any replacements must have similar qualifications in dealing with projects of similar size and scope.

D. Sub-Factor 4 – Past Performance

Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

1. CRITERIA: Offerors must provide a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) references of their choice of projects of similar contracts in size and scope (commercial building remodel/renovation;

minimum threshold value of $500,000). The Offeror must provide for each reference the reference's company name, POCs, address, contact information to include phone number and e-mail address, project description, dollar value and period of performance. The Government will consider and evaluate Offeror's past performance information, to include the references, which are deemed recent and relevant for the requirements of this RFP in evaluation of Offeror’s adherence to period of performance/time of construction and construction according to contract specifications and design without deficiencies. The Government will also use information submitted by the Offeror and other sources such as other Federal Government offices and commercial sources, to assess performance. Recent and Relevant is defined in the subparagraph below:

i. Recency Assessment: An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past 6 years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

ii. Relevancy Assessment: An evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine whether the provided construction performed under those contracts relate to a similar size and scope as those required by this solicitation. In determining the relevancy of effort performed under individual past performance contracts, the Government will consider the specific effort or portion consistent with that proposed by the prime contractor and/or subcontractors. The past performance information obtained from sources will be used to establish the relevancy of past performance.

2. MINIMUM STANDARD OF ACCEPTABILITY: The minimum standard of acceptability is met when the Offeror provides minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) references of their choice of projects of similar contracts in size and scope (commercial building remodel/renovation; minimum threshold value of $500,000) in which the Offeror adhered to period of performance/time of construction and construction according to contract specifications and design without deficiencies. The Offeror must provide for each reference the reference's company name, POCs, address, contact information to include phone number and e-mail address, project description, dollar value and period of performance. The Government will consider and evaluate Offeror's past performance information, to include the references, which are deemed recent and relevant for the requirements of this RFP in evaluation of Offeror’s adherence to period of performance/time of construction and construction according to contract specifications and design. The Government will also use information submitted by the Offeror and other sources such as other Federal Government offices and commercial sources, to assess performance.

Recent and Relevant is defined in the subparagraph below:

i. Recency Assessment: An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past 6 years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

ii. Relevancy Assessment: An evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine whether the provided construction performed under those contracts relate to a similar size and scope as those required by this solicitation. In determining the relevancy of effort performed under individual past performance contracts, the Government will consider the specific effort or portion consistent with that proposed by the prime contractor and/or subcontractor. The past performance information obtained from sources will be used to establish the relevancy of past performance.

3. Those offers not meeting the minimum standard for acceptability will not be considered for award.

Professional Qualifications, Construction Schedule, Quality Control Plan and Past Performance sub-factors will be weighted equally and all areas must have an ACCEPTABLE rating. The Technical capability sub-factors ratings of ACCEPTABLE will be required in order to be considered for award.

PART II – PRICE PROPOSAL

A. Next, offers that are deemed technically acceptable shall be ranked according to price, including all aspects of the proposal. The Offeror’s price proposal will be submitted in a separate volume.

No price information is to be included in the technical sections of the proposal.

B. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by reviewing the total price of the bid to include all work, supplies, etc. to meet the solicitation. Each Offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness. Each Offeror’s price proposal shall include Attachment 8, Contractor Major Category Price Breakdown for CLIN 0001. This CLIN 0001 price breakdown of four

(4) major categories of construction will be provided for evaluation purposes only. This price breakdown will not include all cost associated with CLIN 0001, but will only be for the categories identified in Attachment 8. The price breakdown will not include overhead and profit. Unrealistically low or high proposed costs/prices may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that either the Offeror does not understand the requirement or the Offeror has made an unrealistic proposal.

C. An Offeror’s proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines the lack of realistic or reasonable price information contained in any portion of an Offerors price proposal.

3. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective Offerors.

Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain that Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest. Prior to discussions, a competitive range may be established and the Offerors within the competitive range will be part of the discussions. 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.
