These items will be counted if they contain any other information, i.e., diagrams, extraneous data, etc. Pages marked "This page intentionally left blank" will not be counted.

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

M-1 BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This section outlines the criteria the Government will use in evaluating the offeror's capabilities and proposals for this solicitation.

This is a competitive, best value source selection, conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15.3, Source Selection, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Department of the Air Force FAR Supplement (DAFFARS) Mandatory Procedure (MP) 5315.3. These regulations are available electronically at the Air Force (AF) FAR Site, https://www.

acquisition.gov/.

While the Government source selection evaluation team and the Source Selection Authority (SSA) will strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process, by its nature, is subjective; and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process.

M-2 EVALUATION FACTORS

Each offeror's proposal may be evaluated against the following two (2) factors: Price and Past Performance, where Past Performance is significantly more important than Price.

M-2.1 Price Evaluation Factor:

Initially, the Government will rank proposals by price from lowest to highest. Lowest price is the lowest base bid. If bid option 1 is to be included in the award, then the lowest price is the total of the base bid + bid option 1.

The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price. Examples of such techniques include, but are not limited to the following:

-Price Analysis: The process of examining and evaluating a proposal price without evaluating its separate cost elements and proposed profit.

-Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation. Normally, adequate price competition establishes price reasonableness.

-Comparison of previously proposed prices and previous Government contract prices with current proposed prices for the same or similar effort.

If the price is not determined reasonable based upon price analysis alone, the government reserves the right to use cost analysis techniques to determine a fair and reasonable price.

M-2.2 Past Performance Evaluation Factor: Following the price evaluation, proposals that were found to be fair and reasonable may receive Past Performance evaluation. Proposals not found to be fair and reasonable will not be evaluated further.

(a) Performance Confidence Assessment: The contracting officer shall seek recent and relevant performance information on all offerors based on (1) the past efforts provided by the offeror and (2) data obtained from other Government and commercial sources. The government reserves the right to independently seek supplemental information/Contractor Performance Assessment Ratings (via CPARS.gov) on all offerors as deemed necessary.

(b) The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government the opportunity to assess the probability of the offeror meeting the solicitation requirements based on the offeror's demonstrated past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Neutral Confidence, Limited Confidence, or No Confidence as defined in DoD Source Selection Procedures. The evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding the prime contractor's past performance experience in relation to major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition. The evaluation of past performance information will also consider past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects. Offerors with no recent/relevant performance history, or if the offeror's performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, shall receive the rating "Neutral Confidence," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably (neutral). A "Substantial Confidence" or "Satisfactory Confidence" past performance confidence rating will be worth more than a "Neutral Confidence" past performance confidence rating.

Adjectival Rating Description Substantial Confidence: Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence: Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence: No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror's performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence: Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

(c) Relevant contracts include but are not limited to: projects of similar scope and magnitude, including most or all of the following disciplines:

a. Removal and replacement of interior walls, finishes, casework, shelving, signage, etc.

b. Replacement of doors and windows.

c. Replacement of sanitary sewer and water services.

d. Replacement of plumbing and HVAC systems.

e. Replacement of fire detection and suppression systems.

f. Replacement of electrical, lighting, and communication systems.

g. Exterior improvements for accessibility (ABA) standards compliance.

Table 4--Relevancy Rating Method Adjectival Rating Description Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

(d) Recency Assessment: An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must have been performed and completed within the past five years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance that does not meet this condition will not be evaluated.

(e) Assigning Ratings. As a result of the recency and relevancy assessments of the contracts evaluated, offerors will receive an integrated performance confidence assessment rating. This will include recency, relevance, and performance quality.

(f) If the lowest priced evaluated acceptable offer receives a "Substantial Confidence" performance confidence rating for Past Performance, that offer represents the best value for the government. Award shall be made to that firm without further consideration of any other offers.

(g) If the lowest priced offeror is not judged to have a "Substantial Confidence" performance confidence assessment, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is judged to have a "Substantial Confidence" performance assessment, or until all offerors are evaluated. The Source Selection Authority shall then make a subjective assessment best value award decision.

M-3 DISCUSSIONS: The Government intends to award without discussions but reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary.

Therefore, offerors are cautioned to submit their best proposal initially. Discussions may be held and result in Final Proposal Revisions (FPRs).

Formal responses to discussion items and final proposal revisions will be considered in making the award decision. Offerors should be aware that a complete understanding as to price, past performance and all terms and conditions of the proposed contract must exist between the offeror and the Government at the conclusion of discussions, if held. All offeror and team member/subcontractor information must be incorporated into one coherent proposal to be considered complete.

M-4 COMPETITIVE RANGE: The Government reserves the right to limit, for purposes of efficiency, the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals (10 U.S.C.2305(b)(4) and 41 U.S.C.253b (d)). If the Contracting Officer decides that an offeror's proposal should no longer be included in the competitive range, the proposal shall be eliminated from consideration for award and written notice of the decision shall be provided to the unsuccessful offeror in accordance with FAR 15.503.

M-5 CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY: In accordance with FAR 9.1, the Contracting Officer shall award contracts only to responsible vendors.

No purchase or award shall be made unless the Contracting Officer makes an affirmative determination of responsibility. To be determined responsible, a prospective contractor must have adequate financial resources to perform the contract, or the ability to obtain them. The Contracting Officer may, at their discretion, require acceptable evidence of the prospective contractor's current sound financial status, by utilizing Attachment 4, Financial Institution Reference Sheet.

In regard to resources, the contractor must be prepared to present acceptable evidence of subcontracts, commitments or explicit arrangements that will be in existence at the time of contract award, to rent, purchase or otherwise acquire the needed facilities, equipment, services, materials, other resources or personnel. Consideration of a prime contractor's compliance with limitations on subcontracting shall be taken into account for the time period covered by the contract. Pursuant to FAR 9.104-4, the Contracting Officer reserves the right to request adequate evidence of responsibility on the part of any prospective subcontractor(s). In the absence of information clearly indicating that the prospective contractor is responsible, the Contracting Officer shall make a determination of non- responsibility.
