2.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA

1. LOWEST PRICE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE (LPTA): The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose proposal, if conforming to the solicitation, is the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable proposal (sequential evaluation). The following factors will be used to evaluate offers. The factors are listed in order of relative importance, with the Price Factor being the most important. All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly LESS important than cost or price.

1.1. VOLUME I – PRICE FACTOR

1.2. VOLUME II – TECHNICAL FACTOR

1.3. PAST PERFORMANCE FACTOR

2. BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable

(LPTA) source selection in which all evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are significantly LESS important than price. The factors other than price include both the Technical

Factor and the Past Performance Factor. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the requirements for acceptability.

3. Regarding the below process, the terms strength, weakness and deficiency are defined as follows:

3.1. The term weakness means a flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001.

3.2. The term deficiency means any part of an offer that does not conform to a material requirement of a RFP. A material requirement is one that affects price, quantity, quality, or delivery, or that the RFP requires to be met at the time of proposal submission. See FAR 15.001.

4. By submission of its offer, the Offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a solicitation requirement may result in an offer being determined unacceptable (see below). The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

5. MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS OF OFFERS

5.1. Offers will first be evaluated as to whether they meet the material requirements of the solicitation. The Contracting Officer may identify/confirm missing documentation with an offeror(s) and decide whether the offeror should/can be allowed to submit any missing/deficient documentation without adverse effect to other offerors or the timeliness of award. Offers meeting the material requirements of the solicitation will then be evaluated on the factors of

Price, Technical Capability and Price. Failure to complete and submit VAAR clause 852.219-

75 with the offer will result in immediate rejection of the proposal without further consideration.

6. VOLUME I – PRICE PROPOSAL

6.1. The price proposal shall include the completed Attachment F - Base Offer Price

Breakdown Form and other items as noted in the Instructions to Offerors section. The

Price Breakdown may be discussed during negotiations to confirm that no major work elements have been omitted. The price breakdown may also be used to conduct negotiations if discussions are held with any offerors. The Government anticipates awarding a contract without discussions, but reserves the right to hold discussions. Other than certified cost or pricing data may be requested.

6.2. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by reviewing the total price(s) offered, the offeror’s Attachment F Base Offer Price Breakdown form for the base proposal item. The

Government will use the committed funds amount as the control amount for price evaluation.

The control amount will not be made publicly available during evaluation and selection, due to the use of FAR Part 15 procedures, as it represents both the committed funds amount and the

Government Estimate. The Government Estimate is source selection sensitive information and will not be disclosed.

6.3. Offers will be evaluated in accordance with FAR clause 52.225-9 Buy American-Construction

Materials and FAR provision 52.225-10 Notice of Buy American Requirement-Construction

Materials. Complete FAR provision 52.225-9 Buy American-Construction Materials if applicable regarding use of foreign material. Offers shall include a completed Attachment E

– Buy American Act Compliance Certification.

6.4. Each Offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness, using any of the methods identified at FAR 15.404-1(b). Other than certified cost or pricing data may be requested if price fairness and reasonableness cannot be otherwise determined.

6.5. An Offeror’s proposal may be rejected if it is determined during evaluation that a significant element of work was omitted from the offeror’s price, where correction of the mistake would result in an increase of the offeror’s proposed price(s).

6.6. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the

Offeror’s initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct negotiations if deemed necessary.

7. VOLUME II – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

7.1. The technical subfactors of offers will be evaluated based on the following “Combined

Technical/Risk Ratings”. All areas (subfactors) of the Technical Proposal must receive at least an acceptable rating for a proposal to be considered any further. Offers receiving an unacceptable technical proposal rating will be rejected.

Table – Combined Technical/Risk Ratings

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies.

Proposal is not awardable.

7.2. Sub-Factor 1 – General Qualifications.

The project management plan will be evaluated for sufficient initiating, planning, executing, monitoring/controlling, and closing processes to satisfy the project specifications, including the offeror’s processes for controlling the quality and timely execution of subcontractor work. Discussions may be held to address any questions regarding the project management plan. Include in the plan a list of all subcontractors and their trades on the project.

8. PAST PERFORMANCE FACTOR

8.1. Past performance information identified in the Contract Performance Assessment Reporting

System (CPARS) will be utilized to determine the quality of the offeror’s past performance as it relates to the probability of success of the required effort. Past performance will be evaluated as to how well offerors performed on federal contracts that were given CPARS assessments.

Emphasis will be on recent, relevant past performance within the last five (5) calendar years, beginning September 1, 2021, however the offeror’s CPARS records for the five-year period will be considered, generally, in identifying any substantial performance risk.

8.2. In addition to CPARS data, the Government may investigate past performance using other sources, in particular other Government databases, SAM.gov information on past awards, and interviews by email or telephone questions for Government COR, CO, or PM positions for

Contractor projects performed for the Government or for private sector projects. If the

Government collects this data, it will be on recent, relevant projects that meet the criteria above for CPARS data. If the Government collects this data, it will be used as part of the inputs to determine the past performance rating. If not, then CPARS data will be the only data used to develop past performance ratings. If adverse past performance is identified that has not been documented in CPARS, the Government will need to hold clarifications under RFO FAR

15.202(a)(2)(ii) to allow the offeror an opportunity to respond to the adverse past performance information.

8.3. Performance Rating Method

Table – Past Performance Ratings

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, and performance records generally, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or otherwise the offeror does not have a past performance record. An offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, and performance records generally, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

8.4. CRITERIA and SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: The Government will evaluate the records available in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS).

Project owners may be contacted to verify information provided, where necessary, and to obtain documentation regarding successful or unsuccessful performance, and to obtain information regarding the following performance areas. The offeror’s past performance records, generally, will also be reviewed in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) for the purpose of identifying any existing derogatory records impacting on the evaluation team’s confidence in the offeror to perform the work.
