SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

SECTION M

SECTION M

Evaluation Factors for Award Proposal Evaluation Approach:

This acquisition will utilize Performance Price Tradeoff (PPT) procedures and will evaluate technical acceptability, price and past performance. The first step will be for all proposals to be evaluated for technical acceptability. The second step will list all technically acceptable proposals by price, lowest to highest. The third step will evaluate the past performance starting with the top of list and keep evaluating proposals until five proposals have a substantial confidence or satisfactory confidence rating. The SSA will then do an integrated Best Value assessment of the evaluated offerors. If after evaluation of all offers has been completed and if less than three have been judged to have substantial confidence or satisfacory confidence assement rating the SSA shall make and integrated best value award determination.

Basis for Contract Award:

This is a competitive best value source selection in which competing offerors' past performance history will be evaluated on a basis significantly more important than, cost or price considerations. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. All technically acceptable offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

A. Technical Acceptability. The government technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical proposals on a pass/fail basis, assigning ratings of Acceptable or Unacceptable. The proposals shall be evaluated against the following subfactors:

1) Thirty-five Percent (35%) Design

The standard is met when the proposal:

a. Meets the 35% design definition as stated in the statement of work for the MACC.

b. Includes the Original and three copies of drawings along with three CD copies, design analysis, outline specification(s) and cost estimate.

c. Drawings show 35% progress in all disciplines which include, main elements of work in the seed project statement of work.

(2) Drawings

a. Submits drawings 24" X 36".

b. Includes all drawings identified in the Seed Project.

c. Documents the work required by the Government statement of work for the seed project.

(3) Design Calculations

a. Submits a list of all engineering assumptions with the 35% design for:

1) Primary structural components as required;

2) Heating and ventilating loads and system performance requirements;

3) Short circuit calculations;

4) Sizing for electrical lighting panel;

5) Arc flash requirements;

6) Fire protection (single line/calculations);

7) Fire suppression (sprinkler layout/pipe sizing/hydraulic calculations)

b. Provides design criteria on drawings.

(4) AF Form 3052 Completion

a. Provides the Bid schedule in the Seed Project

b. Provides AF Form 3052, Construction Cost Estimate Breakdown.

B. Price Evaluation. The government will list all technically acceptable proposals by price, lowest to highest. The price evaluation will document the reasonableness and affordability of the proposed total evaluated price.

C. Past Performance Evaluation. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the offeror’s ability to perform the efforts described in this RFP based on the offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance:

1. The Government past performance team will accomplish the past performance evaluation, assigning a performance confidence assessment rating to the offeror’s proposal based on the performance ratings of recent and relevant efforts.

2 The past performance team will seek relevant performance information from: (1) the references provided by the offeror; (2) Past Performance Questionnaires received from the points of contact provided in the past performance information sheets and/or other points of contact identified by the Government that are past or current customers; (3) data independently obtained from Government and commercial sources. The past performance evaluation will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel or major subcontractors. However, past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant and recent experience, or subcontractors that will perform major aspects of the requirement will not be rated as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror.

2.1. Recency - ongoing contracts with a performance history, and contracts completed within three (3) years from the issue date of this solicitation.

2.2. Relevant performance (Table 1) - Relevant projects include a demonstrated record of successful design/build, build, and completion of multi-discipline projects; construction contracts with an estimated range valued between $500,000 and $15M that are similar in scope, magnitude, trade, complexity and contract type of those required under the solicitation, including the specifications and drawings, contract environment, subcontractor interaction, and price.

2.3. Performance. Performance information may be obtained from the references on each project package submitted. The Government may also obtain performance data from other sources.

2.4. In addition to evaluating the extent to which the offeror’s performance meets basic contract Statement of Work (SOW) and technical requirements, the assessment may consider things such as: (1) History of completing efforts involving repair, sustainment, renovation and/or construction of facilities, valued in excess of $5,000,000; (2) Management Effectiveness; (3) Quality of Service and Workmanship; (4) Timeliness/Adherence to Schedules; (5) Quality Control; (6) Customer Satisfaction (7) Compliance with Environmental/Labor/Safety.

2.5. When relevant performance information indicates performance problems, the Government will consider the number and severity of the problems, and the appropriateness and effectiveness of any corrective actions taken (not just planned or promised). The Government may review more recent contracts or performance evaluations to ensure corrective actions have been implemented, and to evaluate their effectiveness.

3. Joint Ventures. In a joint venture, past performance for both businesses will be evaluated equally. Joint ventures will be verified with the Small Business Administration (SBA) prior to award.

4. Teaming Arrangements. Teaming Arrangements are characterized by two or more business entities that are working together under the representation of one of the existing business entities for the duration of the contract. A teaming arrangement is not a formal merger of two or more business entities. The Government recognizes the validity and integrity of teaming arrangements as detailed in FAR Subpart 9.6. All offerors are encouraged to review FAR Subpart 9.6, to acquaint themselves with its details. Since the Government can only determine the responsibility of the prime contractor, per FAR 9.604(b), in accordance with FAR 9.1, Responsible Prospective Contractors, offerors must identify in their offer any teaming arrangement to be considered and completely identify the relationships/responsibilities of the teaming members.

5. The past performance team will integrate the recency, relevancy and performance on all the efforts evaluated for the offeror; the integration will result in a performance confidence assessment of (“Substantial Confidence”, “Satisfactory Confidence”, “Limited Confidence”, “No Confidence” or “Unknown Confidence”) as defined below. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance, or for whom past performance information is not available, or when a past performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror shall receive an assessment of “Unknown Confidence”, meaning the assessment is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably on past performance.

TABLE 2 - PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENTS

NO

CONFIDENCE

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

6. The SSA will do an integrated Best Value assessment of the evaluated offerors and award to a minimum of three (3) offerors and up to five (5) offerors.

D. Other Considerations. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in Section L. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal (for example, the relevance of past performance information) or respond to adverse past performance information, to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance information, is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element, or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. Clarifications conducted to resolve relevance of the past performance information, adverse past performance information or minor clerical errors will not constitute discussions.

1. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. Therefore each initial offer should contain the offeror’s best price and past performance reference list. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.
