SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

BASIS FOR AWARD

1. GENERAL

The Government will only accept offers from small business concerns. The Government will award a single award contract for the same or similar supplies or services under this solicitation. Award will be made to the lowest priced responsive offeror with acceptable past performance whose proposal represents the best value to the Government.

This is a competitive Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection in which competing offerors’ non-price proposals shall be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. All proposals with acceptable ratings shall be treated equally except for their prices. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

1. BASIS OF AWARD

The evaluation of proposals submitted in response to the solicitation will be conducted utilizing a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) Source Selection procedure. The evaluation factors are described below.

Offerors shall comply with the submission requirements set forth in Section L, PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS. Failure to comply shall result in an offeror being ineligible for award.

1. EVALUATION FACTORS

The evaluation factors and criteria, by proposal volume, are set forth below:

VOLUME I – Price Proposal

Price Proposal: Price proposals will be evaluated to determine fairness and reasonableness IAW FAR 15.404. The Government will not evaluate price adjectivally or assign strengths or weaknesses to the price proposal. Total evaluated price shall be calculated in the following manner:

a. The total evaluated price for the IDIQ award will be the sum of the proposed price for all of the base and option work items as listed on the completed S-2.

b. Although award will be made based on an offeror’s total evaluated price, a price proposal that is found unfair and/or unreasonable may be rejected.

VOLUME II – Technical

Technical Experience: Technical Experience will be evaluated solely based on the information provided in the offeror’s submissions. Proposals will be evaluated as Acceptable or Unacceptable.

The Government will review all offerors marine deck work experience (offerors must have two (2) years of experience). The purpose of reviewing marine deck work experience is to allow the Government to assess the offeror’s ability to perform the effort described in this RFP.

In conducting the evaluation, each offer shall be assigned one of the ratings outlined in the below table:

VOLUME III - Past Performance

Past Performance: The Government will review finalized CPARS for the three-year period preceding the date of this RFP. These CPARs will be retrieved using the offeror’s CAGE Code, name, address, and division identified on SF 33 or SF 30. The Government will also evaluate Offeror’s submitted Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) (Attachment S-3). The PPQ must be submitted directly to SERMC by the Project Manager/Contracting Officer or an authorized agent of the customer who oversaw the effort. The Government will analyze offerors’ Interior Deck past performance of previous Interior Deck IDIQ delivery orders or contracts executed on Navy vessels/Barges utilizing finalized CPARs (individual delivery orders over $20,000 and Yearly Review). The Government will also review any corrective action narrative submitted. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the offeror’s ability to perform the effort described in this RFP, based on the offeror’s demonstrated past performance. For these contracts to be considered relevant, the PPQs submitted must demonstrate the work is timely and relevant as set forth in Section M, Basis of Award.

In conducting a performance assessment, each offer shall be assigned one of the ratings outlined in the below table:

· No Unsatisfactory ratings in any of the evaluation areas for Quality, Schedule, and Management

AND

· In a single delivery order, no more than one marginal in the evaluation areas of Quality, Schedule or Management.

· (see note below)

· An Unsatisfactory rating in any of the evaluation areas for Quality, Schedule, or Management

OR

· In a single delivery order, more than one marginal in the evaluation areas of Quality, Schedule or Management.

Note: 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."
