1. GENERAL

1. 1 GENERAL OVERVIEW OF PROCUREMENT PROCESS

1.1.1 This solicitation is being issued as an UNRESTRICTED full and open Design Bid-Build procurement conducted as a negotiated procurement utilizing procedures in accordance with FAR Part 36. The best value continuum source selection process used in this acquisition is the tradeoff process. This process allows for a tradeoff between non-price factors (i.e., Corporate Experience, Safety, Past Performance, and Technical Solution) and price, and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal or other than the highest technically rated proposal to achieve a best-value contract award. Award will be made to that responsible offeror whose proposal, conforming to the solicitation, is determined to offer the best value to the Government, considering the technical and price factors stated herein.

1.1.2 The appropriate Northern American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 236220 and the size standard is $39.5M.

1.1.3 This acquisition will be advertised utilizing FAR Part 15 – Contracting by Negotiation and FAR Part 36 –

Construction and Architect-Engineer Contracts.

1.1.4 This acquisition will result in a firm fixed price contract for design-bid-build construction services. In accordance with FAR 36.205, the statutory cost limitation for P131 Communications Center is $43,600,000.

Award will be made in U.S. Dollars. Statutory cost limitation applies to CLINs 0001 through CLIN 0004.

1.1.5 The contract completion time for P131 is 900 days from Notice to Proceed.

1.2 GENERAL OVERVIEW OF CONTRACT SCOPE

1.2.1 This project is a Design-Bid-Build, Firm Fixed Price contract for P131 Communications Center at NSA

Souda Bay, Greece. This project will construct a multi-story communications facility for Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Atlantic (NCTAMS LANT) Detachment and Base N6 Communications Department at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Souda Bay, Greece. A new Communications Center, telephone exchange, electronics maintenance shops, and storage for electronics spares and equipment will be provided within the facility. The facility will be a three-story, cast-in-place concrete structure with concrete shear walls and shallow concrete foundations. The exterior facade will consist of full-height reinforced concrete to the top of the parapet, with a silicone-based elastomeric coating over the concrete. Electrical utilities include primary and secondary distribution systems, transformers, substation upgrades, telecommunications infrastructure, security systems infrastructure and lighting.

1.2.2 Contractor Performance Information: Contractor’s performance will be evaluated using the respective contractor performance evaluation report entry system located on the website: http://www/cpars.gov. Prior to commencement of work the contractor is required to provide the Government with the name, phone number and email address of the “Contractor’s Representative” that will be responsible for receipt and review of draft performance evaluations prepared by the Government in the appropriate system. It is the contractor’s responsibility to keep this contract information current.

2. BASIS FOR AWARD

2.1.1 The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offerors at any time prior to award of the contract; to negotiate with offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contract to the offeror submitting the proposal determined to be the best value – the proposal most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

2.1.2 The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors

(except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In addition, if the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

2.1.3 The tradeoff process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition. The Government considers it to be in its best interest to allow consideration of award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror.

2.1.4 Factor 2-Safety will only be rated Acceptable or Unacceptable. If an offeror is rated Unacceptable for any factor, they will not be eligible for award, unless the deficiency(ies) is/are remedied through discussions (if held). For the firms found Acceptable on Factor 2-Safety, the relative order of importance of the non-price evaluation factors is the adjectivally-rated technical factors (Factor 1-Corporate Experience and Factor 4- Technical Solution) are of equal importance to each other and, when combined are equal in importance to the past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment factor (Factor 3). When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and past performance/performance confidence assessment factor combined (i.e., the non-price evaluation factors) are approximately equal to price.

2.1.5 The Government intends to award a contract to a single contractor for CLIN 0001, with CLINs 0002, 0003, 0004, as priced options, and CLINs 0005, 0006, and 0007 as planned modifications. The Government reserves the unilateral right to award Option Item 1 (CLIN 0002), Option Item 2 (CLIN 0003), and Option Item 3 (CLIN 0004) to the Contractor at the time of award or within 120 calendar days after contract award.

A firm fixed proposed price is required for ALL CLINs (CLINs 0001 through 0007). No provision is made for economic price adjustment. Award of CLINs 0002 through CLIN 0007 does not extend the contract completion date. Offerors not submitting pricing for all CLINs will be considered nonresponsive to the solicitation and will not be evaluated.

2.1.6 The Government intends to issue the Solicitation through the Internet at www.sam.gov. All prospective offerors MUST register themselves on the website. All contractors are encouraged to attempt downloading the documents prior to obtaining the solicitation through alternate sources. Many firms and commercial printing services have the capability to print the solicitation package and plan-holder’s list from the Internet, if necessary. The official planholder’s list will be created by registration and will be available from the website only. Amendments will also be posted on the website for downloading. This will be the normal method for distributing amendments; therefore, it is the offeror’s responsibility to check the website periodically for any amendments to this solicitation.

2.1.8 SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT:

To be eligible for award, your firm(s) must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database as required as required by FAR 52.204-7, System for Award Management (Oct 2016).

Note that the System for Award Management (SAM) is required for all offerors; including Joint Ventures (JV) (registration must state the NAME of the JV). Offerors not currently registered in SAM must obtain a DUN & Bradstreet (DUNS) number and a CAGE or NCAGE prior to registering in SAM.

All offerors, including JV offerors, must submit with their proposal a DUNS number. In addition to the DUNS number required for JV offerors, JV offerors must submit with their proposal a DUNS number for each member comprising the JV. DUNS numbers can be obtained at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform. The DUNS number is required in order to register in SAM (see above).

CAGE/NCAGE – A CAGE/NGAGE code is required for all offerors, including JV offerors. JV offerors must acquire a CAGE Code registered in the JV name.

(a) U.S. offerors, including Joint Venture offerors: U.S. offerors must obtain a CAGE Code prior to registering in the SAM database, part of the SAM registration process (see paragraph above).

(b) Non-U.S. (foreign) offerors ONLY, including JV: Non-U.S. offerors must obtain a NATO CAGE (NCAGE) Code instead of a CAGE Code prior to registering in the SAM database. NCAGE codes may be obtained at the NCAGE website https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/AC135Public/scage/CageList.aspx.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: If the offeror is registering a new entity in SAM.gov, the offeror must follow new procedures, which include providing an original, signed notarized letter indicating authorized entity Administrator for the entity associated with the DUNS number before a new SAM.gov entity registration will be activated.

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR THE NEW REGISTRANTS TO CHECK WITH SAM.GOV HELPDESK

2.2.2 ENGLISH SPEAKING REPRESENTATIVE:

At all times when any performance of the work at the site is being conducted by any employee of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall have a representative present on the site capable of explaining the work operations and receiving instructions in the English language. The Contracting Officer shall have the right to determine, without appeal of such decision, whether the proposed representative has sufficient technical and lingual capabilities, and the Contractor shall immediately replace any individual not acceptable to the Contracting Officer.

2.2.3 PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE:

Ten-Percent (10%) PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE

Submittal Time: The offeror whose offer is accepted shall, within ten (10) days after award, furnish either (1) a Performance Guarantee and a notarized Performance Guarantee Letter conforming to the requirements below, or (2) Performance and Payment bonds conforming to the requirements below. If the offeror fails to provide either (1) a Performance Guarantee and a notarized Performance Guarantee Letter or (2) Performance and Payment Bonds within ten (10) days, the contract may be terminated for default. In such event, the offeror shall be liable for any cost of procuring the work which exceeds the amount of its offer and the bid guarantee shall be available toward offsetting such difference. Clauses 52.228-2, 52.228-11 and 52.228-15, listed in Section 01 00 00 – General Requirements below, will apply only if the offeror elects to submit payment and performance bonds, rather than a notarized performance guarantee, with their proposal.

Form of Performance Guarantee: The Performance Guarantee shall be an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount of the contract and shall be deposited into a banking institution, as acceptable to the Contracting Officer, which will then issue an irrevocable letter guaranteeing (the “Performance Guarantee Letter”) the payment of the amount deposited to the United States Government, upon demand by the Contracting Officer. Demand may be made if the Contractor fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the contract, or does not fulfill its undertaking in whole or in part. Payment to the Contracting Officer will be by check made payable to the "United States of America by the U.S. Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Europe, Africa, Central." The Performance Guarantee shall take effect upon the date of signature of the Performance Guarantee Letter and shall remain valid and irrevocable until one (1) year after the work has been finally inspected and accepted by the Government. The Performance Guarantee Letter shall be accompanied by a notarized document authenticating the financial institution's authority to sign the letter. An English translation of the Performance Guarantee Letter shall be submitted concurrently.

Upon acceptance of all work by the Government, however, the Contractor may, with the approval of the Contracting Officer, replace this guarantee with a reduced guarantee in the amount of four percent (4%) of the then existing contract price, with modifications, if any. Such replacement guarantee will then remain in effect for one (1) year after the final acceptance of the work by the Government.

3. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1. The solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-price factors:

Factor 1 – Corporate Experience Factor 2 – Safety Factor 3 – Technical Solution Factor 4 – Past Performance

Factor 2 – Safety will only be rated Acceptable or Unacceptable. If an Offeror is rated Unacceptable for any factor, they will not be eligible for award, unless the deficiency(ies) is/are remedied through discussions (if held). For firms found Acceptable on Factor 2 – Safety, the relative order of importance of the non-price evaluation factors is the adjectivally-rated technical factors (Factors 1 – Corporate Experience and 3 – Technical Solution) are of equal importance to each other and, when combined are equal in importance to the past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment factor (Factor 4). When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and past performance/performance confidence assessment factor combined (i.e., the non-price evaluation factors) are approximately equal to price.

The distinction between corporate experience and past performance is that experience pertains to the volume of work completed by a contractor that are comparable to the types of work described under the definition of recent, relevant projects, in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Past performance pertains to both the relevance of recent efforts and how well a contractor has performed on the contracts.

The importance of price will increase if the Offerors’ non-price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non-price proposal’s superiority to the Government. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered.

2. Basis of Evaluation and Submittal Requirements for Each Factor.

(a) Non-price Factors:

Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

The offeror shall submit one original, marked “Original”, five (5) copies marked “copy” each in a separate binder, and two (2) electronic copies on separate CDs, with the following characteristics:

-Text pages 8 ½ x 11 format (A3 or A4 paper is also acceptable) -12-point font, Times New Roman -Two complete electronic copies of the technical proposal factors as a single .pdf searchable file, each on a separate CD (include with the “Original” technical submission). If there are any conflicts between hard copies and/or electronic copies, the “Original” hard copy will govern.

-Include a cover page with Solicitation Number, Solicitation Title, Prime Contractor Name, Address, Phone Number, Fax Number, DUNS, Cage Code, Point of Contact, Title, Phone Number, and email address.

Factor 1 - Corporate Experience:

(a) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

Submit a minimum of three (3) up to a maximum of five (5) construction projects that best demonstrate experience on relevant projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to the RFP. To be considered, projects submitted for the Offeror must have been completed within the past ten (10) years from the date of issuance of this RFP. To ensure a project is considered "complete”, the documentation should demonstrate delivery of a final deliverable to the client.

For purposes of this evaluation, a relevant project is further defined as new construction (not renovation) of a multi-story (minimum of two full stories) office or industrial building with a minimum floor area of three-thousand (3,000) square meters (SM), constructed with reinforced concrete. Lofts and mezzanines cannot be relied upon to meet the “multi-story” requirement.

A project is defined as a construction project performed under a single task order or standalone contract. Multiple construction award, Indefinite delivery or Indefinite quantity type contracts as a whole should not be submitted as a project; rather Offerors should submit the work performed under a task order as a project.

The attached Construction Experience Project Data Sheet (Attachment C) is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information. Except as specifically requested, the Government will not consider information submitted in addition to this form. Individual blocks on this form may be expanded; however, total length for each project data sheet shall not exceed one (1) double-sided page (or two (2) single-sided pages). DUNS numbers for the entity that performed the project shall be noted for the construction projects.

For all submitted projects, the description of the project shall clearly describe the scope of work performed and the relevancy to the project requirements of this RFP (i.e., unique features, area, construction methods). In addition, the description should also address any sustainable features for the project, including specific descriptions of those features. Provide applicable documentation on projects that were validated and/or certified through U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) or the equivalent organization or process. The Offeror must provide the construction cost of the example project in U.S. dollars. Failure to do so may result in a project being found non-relevant.

If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant project experience should be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity. If the Joint Venture does not have shared experience, at least one (1) project should be submitted for each Joint Venture member. Offerors who fail to submit experience for all Joint Venture members may be rated lower. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.

JV offerors shall provide with their proposal a notarized legal document that establishes the JV.

If an Offeror is utilizing experience information of affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies (name is not exactly as stated on the SF1442), (“Affiliates”), the proposal shall, in a separate narrative or letter or commitment, clearly demonstrate the manner in which the Affiliate will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract for the experience information of the Affiliate to be considered. Meaningful involvement is demonstrated when the proposal 1) clearly states the Affiliate’s specific commitment of technical resources (e.g., personnel, equipment, etc.) that will be provided or relied upon for contract performance; and (2) describes specific aspects of the project that the Affiliate will self-perform or manage on behalf of the offeror in performance of the contract. General statements of availability, or other descriptions of involvement that do not demonstrate how the Affiliate will actually participate in contract performance, may not suffice. Failure to submit this documentation may result in the Government not evaluating the experience of the Affiliate. Offerors are cautioned that experience performed by Affiliates may not be considered as favorably as experience performed by the Prime Offeror.

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 from the subcontractor and an explanation of the meaningful involvement that the subcontractor will have in performance of this contract. More weight may be given to the Offerors projects than to those submitted for subcontractors.

(b) Basis of Evaluation:

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s demonstrated experience and depth of experience in performing relevant construction projects as defined in the solicitation submittal requirements. 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 RFP. The Government will only review a maximum of five (5) projects. If more than the maximum number of projects is submitted, the Government will evaluate projects in order of submission up to the maximum number and will not evaluate projects beyond the maximum number specified in the submission requirements.

The offeror may be considered more favorably in the following circumstances:

• Offerors that demonstrate experience with relevant projects contracted with the United States Department of Defense may be considered more favorably than offerors who do not demonstrate this experience.

• Offerors that demonstrate experience with relevant projects located in the Crete Region of Greece may be considered more favorably than offerors who do not demonstrate this experience.

• Offerors who submit relevant projects that demonstrate experience self-performing relevant features of work may receive a higher rating than those who do not demonstrate self-performance.

• Offerors that demonstrate experience with sustainable features may be considered more favorably than those that do not demonstrate experience with sustainable features.

Factor 2 – Safety:

(a) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

The Offeror shall submit the following information: (For a partnership or joint venture, the following shall address each contractor who is part of the partnership or joint venture; only one safety narrative is required.)

Technical Approach for Safety:

Describe the offeror’s technical approach to safety for its employees as well as the plan that the offeror will implement to evaluate and measure safety performance of potential subcontractors as a part of the selection process for all levels of subcontractors. Also, describe methods that the offeror will employ to ensure and monitor safe work practices at all subcontractor levels. The Safety Narrative, which shall include all information requested in this paragraph, shall be limited to three single-sided pages, (i.e., one (1) double-sided page plus one (1) single-sided page; or three (3) single-sided pages).

(b) Basis of Evaluation:

The Government is seeking to determine that the offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to safety and that the offeror plans to properly manage and implement safety procedures for itself and its subcontractors. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s technical approach to safety for its employees, as well as its plan to select and monitor subcontractors.

The Government may consult additional sources of information for evaluating safety including, but not limited to, Government agencies, OSHA, NAVFAC’s Facility Accident and Incident Reporting (FAIR) and Contractor Incident Reporting System (CIRS) databases, and other related resources. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete safety information regarding these submittal requirements rests with the offeror.

The Safety Factor will be rated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis.

Factor 3 – Technical Solution:

(a) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

Provide a narrative describing the technical solution to the project that meets the requirements of the RFP. Include the following:

Summary of the technical approach, including the means/methods, material and tools to be utilized to complete the work; mitigation plans for anticipated problems, logistical challenges and site constraints.

A Project organizational chart that lists the key positions (Project Manager, Site Safety & Health Officer, Construction QCM, Superintendent) and subcontractors. The organizational chart shall clearly identify the lines of authority between the entities. If the experience of a significant subcontractor is being claimed in Factor 1, the firm must be named in the above narrative and organizational chart.

Provide a project schedule with a Gantt chart. Include the contract duration, all major design submittals and all major aspects of construction project. The contract timeframe identified in the RFP defines the acceptable contract duration; a shorter contract duration is desirable. The Government will evaluate a comparison of the contractor’s proposed contract duration and the acceptable contract duration. The Government’s evaluation of the contractor’s proposed schedule is a means of determining whether the contractor understands the scope of work and approaches the tasks in a logical and effective manner. Provide a narrative that explains the proposed contract duration, scheduling innovations and methods to provide a shorter contract duration.

Narrative shall not exceed five (5) double-sided pages (or ten (10) single-sided pages). In addition, provide one (1) single-sided schedule Gantt chart to graphically present the contract duration. The Gantt chart may be on a single 11x17 or A3 page that will not count against the page limitations for the narrative.

(b) Basis of Evaluation:

The Government will evaluate the narrative and schedule considering the extent to which the Offeror demonstrates a clear understanding of the architectural and engineering requirements of the project. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s technical solution to determine adherence to the technical requirements of the RFP including adherence to the provided schedule milestones.

A higher rating may be provided for a schedule that clearly identifies realistic accelerated contract completion durations.

In addition, the contractor’s proposed contract duration shall become an enforceable part of the contract and will be reflected in the awarded Contract Completion Date (CCD) to the successful offeror.

Factor 4 - Past Performance:

(a) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

If a completed Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluation is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal for each project included in Factor 1 – Corporate Experience. If there is not a completed CPARS evaluation then submit Past Performance Questionnaires (Attachment C) for each project included in Factor 1 for Corporate Experience. An offeror shall not submit a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) when a completed CPARS is available.

When using PPQs, the offeror should provide completed PPQs in the proposal. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. 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 the first page in its entirety and submit with the proposal the completed 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. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, Ed Flint via e-mail at edward.d.flint@navy.mil AND edward.d.flint.civ@us.navy.mil.

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 two (2) double-sided pages (or four (4) single-sided pages) in total.

The Government reserves the right to contact references for verification or additional information. The Government’s inability to contact any of the offerors references or the references unwillingness to provide the information requested may affect the Government’s evaluation of this factor.

Performance award, letters of commendations or additional information submitted will not be considered.

(b) Basis of Evaluation:

This evaluation will consider how well the offeror’s team performed on the relevant projects submitted under Factor 1 – Corporate Experience and may also consider past performance on other projects currently documented in known sources. For purposes of this evaluation, relevance will be evaluated based on the recency/size/scope/complexity parameters described in Factor 1.

The Government will consider the recency and relevance of the information, the source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the Contractor’s performance. This evaluation is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination. The assessment of the offeror’s team’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the offerors team’s probability to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP.

In the case of offerors for which there is no information on past contract performance or where past contract performance information is not available or so sparse that no meaningful assessment can be performed, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past contract performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). In this case, the offeror’s past performance is unknown and assigned a performance confidence rating of “neutral.” Although the Government may not rate an offeror that lacks recent, relevant past performance favorably or unfavorably with regard to past performance, the Government may determine that a “Substantial Confidence” or “Satisfactory Confidence” past performance rating more than a “Neutral Confidence” past performance rating in a best value tradeoff as long as the determination is consistent.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO BE SUBMITTED WITH PRICE PROPOSAL PACKAGE:

RESPONSIBILITY DETERMINATION INFORMATION - In order to be eligible for award, the offeror must be determined responsible in accordance with FAR Part 9, specifically 9.104-1, General Standards. 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 shall require acceptable evidence of the prospective contractor’s current sound financial status, as well as the ability to obtain required resources if the need arises. 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 base period or quantities, plus option periods or quantities, if such options are considered when evaluating offers for award. 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.

As a minimum requirement, all offerors are requested to submit, as part of the price proposal submissions, the following:

In a separate Tab, in the English language, the offeror shall provide the following information in the price proposal package:

1. One (1) Signed Bank Reference demonstrating adequate financial resources. If offeror’s firm has a line of credit – provide information on how many figures offeror can borrow against the line of credit (i.e. medium 6 figures – exact line of credit is not required). For Joint Venture arrangements, a Signed Bank Reference for each company in the Joint Venture in addition to any available line of credit information.

2. The offeror shall provide the latest three complete fiscal year financial statements for the prime contractor, certified by an independent accounting firm, if practicable, or signed by an authorized officer of the organization.

Submit evidence of availability of working/operating capital, which will be used for the performance of the resultant contract. For Joint Venture arrangements, submit the latest three complete fiscal year financial statements for each company in the Joint Venture and discuss the financial responsibilities among the companies. The Government may also utilize Dun & Bradstreet reports to evaluate the financial capacity of the offeror.

3. Point of contact from a bank or any financial institution with which the offeror transacts business.

Although required to be submitted with offeror’s price proposal, this information will not be evaluated as part of the price proposal. This information forms part of the basis of your firm’s responsibility determination should your firm be considered for award. Proposal packages from unsuccessful offerors will not be returned to the offeror, but shall be destroyed by the Contracting Officer. No certificate of destruction will be issued.

(b) Basis of Evaluation:

The Government will evaluate price based on the total price. Total price consists of the basic requirements and all option items and planned modifications. The Government intends to evaluate all options and has included the provision FAR 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options (JUL 1990). In accordance with FAR 52.217-5, evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). Analysis will be performed by one or more of the following techniques to ensure a fair and reasonable price:

(i) Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the RFP.

(ii) Comparison of proposed prices with the IGCE.

(iii) Comparison of proposed prices with available historical information.

(iv) Comparison of market survey results.
