Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

M.1. 52.217-5 -- Evaluation of Options (Jul 1990) Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government’s best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

M.2. Basis for Award

Award will be made to a responsible offeror whose proposal is determined to provide the best value to the Government. Trade-off analysis of price or technical factors will be used in the award determination.

The Government intends to evaluate the proposal and award a contract without discussions with the offeror, except for clarifications, as described in FAR 15.306(a). Therefore, the initial proposal should contain your best terms from a Technical and Price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary.

All evaluation factors, including price are of equal importance.

The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each proposal. Award will be made to the offerors whose proposal is most advantageous to the government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and subfactors described below:

Factor 1: Technical Proposal:

This factor is further divided into the following subfactors:

Evaluation of the offeror’s proposal shall address each subfactor as it applies to the Performance Work Statement. A detail explanation of the criteria for the evaluation is set forth below. During evaluations of each proposal, the government will assign each subfactor and adjectival rating and write a narrative evaluation reflecting the identified findings.

The 3 Subfactors are of equal importance.

Factor 2: Price:

The resulting award will be a Firm Fixed Price contract. Price reasonableness will be utilized in the valuation of the Firm-Fixed Price effort.

All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are approximately equal to cost or price.

M.3. Evaluation Approach

The overarching evaluation approach for all factors and subfactors is as follows:

Adequacy of Response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s methods and approach have adequately and completely considered, defined, and satisfied the requirements specified in the solicitation. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which each requirement has been addressed in the proposal in accordance with the proposal submission section of the solicitation.

Feasibility of Approach. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the proposed approach is workable and the end results achievable. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which successful performance is contingent upon proven devices and techniques. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the offeror is expected to be able to successfully complete the proposed tasks and technical requirements within the required schedule.

Marginal ratings of any factor or subfactor could indicate a lack of understanding concerning requirements of the solicitation and may result in the entire proposal receiving an unfavorable rating and/or being eliminated from the competitive range.

M.3.1 Factor 1 – Technical Proposal

M.3.1.1 Subfactor 1 Management Plan: This subfactor evaluates the offeror’s proposed Management Plan for the basic contract period and all option years. The evaluation will focus on the offerors’:

· Managerial Approach: The offeror will be evaluated on the areas and requirements identified for submission Section L.

· Quality Control Plan: The offeror will be evaluated on the areas and requirements identified for submission Section L.

· Management Plan Worksheet will be evaluated on how well the offeror demonstrates a clear understanding of the service requirements, proposed labor and labor mix, and ability to identify, mitigate, manage, and control risks for successful performance and customer satisfaction

M.3.1.2 Experience.

This subfactor evaluates the offeror’s proposed Experience for the basic contract period and all option years. The evaluation will focus on the offerors experience with projects that are similar in scope and magnitude of this requirement. The offeror will be evaluated on the areas and requirements identified for submission Section L.

M.3.1.3 Past Performance.

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the PWS. The offeror’s past performance will be evaluated on the services performed to the services required under this solicitation, the record of conforming to contract requirements and standards of good workmanship, and the commitment to customer satisfaction.

The Past Performance evaluation will take into account any past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience or subcontractors that performed major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant. For joint ventures, past performance records of both firms will be considered.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

M.3.2 Price Evaluation

The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to evaluate price.

Total evaluated price will be calculated by adding the total price for the base and option periods combined in accordance with the pricing template submitted by the offeror. For purposes of determining total price evaluation, the price for an extension of services authorized by FAR 52.217-8 will be evaluated as part of the Option IV price; however, if the option to extend services is exercised pursuant to FAR 52.217-8, the rates will be the same as the immediately preceding contract period (i.e. after the initial contract period, Option I, Option II, Option III, Option IV).

Prices for Additional Services and pre-priced tasks will not be included in the total evaluated price. However, the prices will be reviewed for price realism and may be subject to discussion. Prices for Additional Services and pre-priced tasks, when reviewed in conjunction with the total evaluated price, should be consistent. Offerors with low total evaluated price and high prices for Additional Services and pre-priced task may be considered unbalanced pricing and may result in the offer being rejected.

NOTE: The price may be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates provided by the Secretary of Labor. A price adjustment for supplies, materials, equipment and labor other than prevailing labor rate revisions will not be considered.

M.4 Miscellaneous Documents

This is not an evaluation factor. However, failure to submit completed, required documents may result in the offeror being considered non-responsive and eliminated from further consideration.
