An unrealistically low price may result in the offeror(s)’ proposed price being rejected and the offeror(s)’ proposal being ineligible for award.

Proposals will be evaluated in the following manner: The number of proposals that will be technically evaluated will initially be limited to the three (3) lowest priced proposals. If none of the initial three (3) lowest priced proposals are found technically acceptable, the next group of three (3) lowest priced proposals will be evaluated. This process will be repeated until the Government identifies a technically acceptable proposal.

(B) NON-PRICE FACTORS:

The Technical Proposal MUST include the following factors:

(1) Factor 1, Corporate Experience:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The offeror MUST provide a minimum of one (1) but no more than two (2) relevant projects for which the Offeror was the prime contractor, sub-contractor or Joint Venture partner.

Relevant projects MUST meet the following requirements:

1. Relevant experience MUST be in both design and construction; and

2. Including the following trades: Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and electrical; and

3. Design and construction of a new hospital, medical clinic or medical laboratory or design and construction of the renovation of a hospital, medical clinic or medical laboratory; and

and

5. Similar in magnitude with a value of at least $400,000; and

6. Construction must be at least 90% complete by the date this RFP was issued.

A project is defined as a construction project performed under a single task order or contract. For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the contract as a whole shall not be submitted as a project;

rather offerors shall submit the work performed under a task order as a project.

Failure to submit one (1) relevant project will lead to the offeror being eliminated from competition for failing to submit a complete proposal. If more than two (2) projects are submitted, only the two (2) most recently completed projects will be evaluated.

Use the Contract Data Sheet (Attachment C) to submit projects. In lieu of the Contract Data Sheet, offerors can provide relevant project information documentation separately. Whether submitted on the Contract Data Sheet or as separate documentation, project descriptions for each project shall explain the detailed scope of work performed and the relevancy to the project requirements of this solicitation. For each submitted project, the offeror shall include the contract number, project location, project description, building size, an explanation of -similarity to the current solicitation, dollar value, ending date of the contract, the date the work was completed, and a client point of contact. Offerors must include sufficient information in their proposal to establish the relevancy of their submitted projects.

- All projects submitted that are outside of the specified time period will not be considered relevant.

- Proposals that fail to provide all requested data, an accessible point of contact, or correct phone number and e-mail address may result in the project not being evaluated or the project being found not relevant.

- The total length for each project shall not exceed two (2) pages, single sided, with a minimum font size of twelve (12). If more than two (2) pages are submitted, only the first two (2) pages will be evaluated.

- All submissions shall be in the English language, documents provided in another language will not be evaluated.

If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant project experience shall be submitted for projects completed by the

Joint Venture entity. If the Joint Venture does not have shared experience, projects should be submitted for one of the Joint Venture partners. Offerors are still limited to a total of two (2) projects combined

The offeror may utilize experience of a subcontractor that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement to demonstrate construction experience under this evaluation factor. The Offeror must provide a letter of commitment and an explanation of the subcontractor’s role in the performance of this contract.

If an offeror is utilizing experience of affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies (name is not exactly as stated on the SF 1442), the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent firm will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract in order for the project of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies to be considered. The proposal shall state the specific commitments of technical resources (e.g. personnel, equipment that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies commit to the performance of this contract. In particular, the proposal will clearly state the specific commitments of resources of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member that will be located at the worksites and company offices in the city/are of the project. The proposal shall also describe specific roles of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies in terms of the work it will either self-perform or manage on behalf of the offeror in performance of the contract.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation: To receive an acceptable rating in this factor, the offeror MUST provide a minimum of one (1) relevant project meeting the following requirements:

7. Relevant experience MUST be in both design and construction; and

8. Including the following trades: Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and electrical; and

9. Design and construction of a new hospital, medical clinic or medical laboratory or design and construction of the renovation of a hospital, medical clinic or medical laboratory; and

10. Performed in the country of Macedonia within the last 5 years of the date this RFP was issued;

and

11. Similar in magnitude with a value of at least $400,000; and

12. Construction must be at least 90% complete by the date this RFP was issued.

The offeror must demonstrate experience performing at least one (1) relevant project as defined in the solicitation submittal requirements or one (1) relevant project for one of the Joint Venture partners without shared experience together. The assessment of the offeror’s relevant experience will be used as a means of evaluating the capability of the offeror to successfully meet the requirements of the solicitation. The Government will review a maximum of two

(2) projects. An offeror will be rated UNACCEPTABLE if the offeror does not submit the minimum number of relevant projects (one (1)). Any projects submitted in excess of the two (2) for Corporate Experience will not be considered.

(2) Factor 2, Safety:

Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The offeror MUST provide a SIGNED copy of the Safety Checklist

Form provided as Attachment 4. By signing this form the contractor is verifying that if awarded the contract they will comply with the safety regulations, provide a safety plan, a competent employee in accordance with

EM 385-1-1 and provide all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to their employees.

Basis of Evaluation: To receive an acceptable rating for this factor the offeror MUST provide a signed copy of the safety checklist. Failure to submit a completed and signed Safety Checklist with the proposal will result in a rating of Unacceptable.

Please provide a signed copy of this document (Attachment 4) with your proposal submittal. If this is not submitted with your proposal, your proposal will be determined to be non-responsive, and you will not be eligible to be awarded the contract without discussions.

(3) Factor 3, Past Performance:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The offeror shall provide a past performance evaluation for each project submitted under Factor 1 – Corporate Experience. If a completed Contractor Performance Assessment

Reporting System (CPARS) or DD Form 2626 Performance Evaluation (Construction) is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal. If there is not a completed evaluation then the offeror shall submit Past Performance

Questionnaire (Attachment D) for each project included in Factor 1 – Corporate Experience.

If a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) is submitted, ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Past Performance Questionnaires must be completed by the customer(s) of the project(s) submitted under Factor 1.

If the evaluation is in other than English, provide a translation of the evaluation into English. Documents provided in a language other than English, without an English translation will not be evaluated.

If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the offeror shall complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). The Government may make reasonable attempts to contact the client noted for that project(s) to obtain the PPQ information. However, offerors should follow-up with clients/references to help ensure timely submittal of questionnaires.

The Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information

Retrieval System (PPIRS) using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company /subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the offeror.

Offerors may provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on projects submitted under Factor 1 – Corporate Experience. Offerors may also address any adverse past performance issues.

Explanations shall not exceed four (4) pages in total.

Performance awards or additional information submitted will not be considered.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation: The degree to which past performance evaluations and all other past performance information reviewed by the Government (e.g., PPIRS, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information

System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (e-SRS), performance recognition documents, and information obtained from any other source) reflect a trend of satisfactory performance considering:

- A pattern of successful completion of tasks;

- A pattern of deliverables that are timely and of good quality;

- How recently the tasks that are identical to, similar to or related to the task at hand were performed.

To receive an Acceptable rating, a minimum of one (1) relevant project as defined in Factor 1 – Corporate

Experience must have past performance rating of “Satisfactory” or higher. Ratings of “Marginal” or lower will be considered “Unacceptable.”

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability “unknown” shall be considered

“acceptable”.

II. BASIS OF AWARD

THE SOLICITATION WILL RESULT IN THE AWARD OF ONE (1) FIRM-FIXED PRICE CONTRACT

TO ONE (1) SUCCESSFUL OFFEROR OFFERING THE LOWEST PRICE TECHNICALLY

ACCEPTABLE OFFER.

An overall non-price factors rating must be at least “ACCEPTABLE” in order to be eligible for award. An

“UNACCEPTABLE” rating in any factor results in the overall non-price factors proposal being rated

“UNACCEPTABLE” unless corrected through discussions. An overall non-price factors rating of

“UNACCEPTABLE” makes a proposal ineligible for award.

The proposals are intended to be evaluated, and award made, without discussions with the Offerors (other than those communications conducted for the purpose of minor clarification(s)), unless discussions are determined to be necessary by the Contracting Officer.

In accordance with FAR 9.104-3, the Contracting Officer shall require acceptable evidence of the prospective contractor’s ability to obtain required resources and be determined responsible. If the Contracting Officer determines the lowest price technically acceptable offeror to not be responsible, the Government reserves the right to award to the next responsible, lowest price technically acceptable offeror. The Government may award to the lowest price technically acceptable offeror without discussions.
