2.7 EVALUATION OF OFFERS

Factor Evaluation: The basic objective of the process is to provide the SSA with information to make an informed decision. To achieve this goal, the evaluators identify strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, deficiencies, and clarifications applicable to the proposals.

In addition to the SSA using this information to make the source selection decision, the Contracting Officer uses it to establish a competitive range when discussions are necessary and uses the information to conduct discussions.

All proposals shall be subject to evaluation by a team of Government personnel. Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the solicitation.

The evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal and any subsequent discussions, if necessary. However, the Government reserves the right to award without discussions based upon the initial evaluation of the proposals.

Proposals will be evaluated based on the factors described herein.

Factor 1, Schedule (Technical): Construction schedules and narrative descriptions documenting: (1) a construction schedule that is realistic, appropriate, and efficient; (2) clear and efficient critical path and logical sequencing; (3) accounts for procurement lead-time, subcontractor/trade coordination, on-site storage and staging, resource and time constraints;

and (4) demonstrates risk mitigation and successful completion within the required period of performance, present lower levels of risk and will be more favorably rated. Schedules which do not demonstrate these attributes present higher levels of risk and will be less favorably rated.

Factor 2, Key Personnel (Technical): ONLY THE PROJECT MANAGER AND CONSTRUCTION SUPERINTENDANT WILL BE EVALUATED. A rating of satisfactory may be achieved when: Each of the key team members has held at least one comparable position, to that proposed, for a similar project and has the appropriate education, training, experience, and certification required to be assigned to this position and for this project. Ratings above satisfactory may be given to those members having experience on multiple similar projects and/or successful performance in comparable positions, and/or some of or all the key team members exceed the minimum requirement set forth above.

Factor 3, Recent Relevant Corporate Experience: The Offeror’s construction project experience demonstrating projects involving (1.) multiple construction disciplines; (2.)

renovations to, and/or construction of institutional housing facilities of similar square footage, with a total contract value exceeding $10,000,000. Projects which meet the above criteria but are also for construction of new inpatient medical housing and/or which include phasing, are in an active hospital, and/or incorporate Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) and Interim Life Safety(ILS) may be more highly rated. Those offerors not demonstrating these attributes present higher levels of risk and will be less favorably rated. Offerors demonstrating more self-performance (or similarly situated status) will be more favorably rated.

Factor 4, Price: The total evaluated price will be determined by the Offeror's price provided on the Price Schedule for the two base items (CLINs 0001 and 0002).

Note: If none of the offerors are within the available funding limitation or is otherwise determined to be other than fair and reasonable, the VA reserves the right to enter into discussions with those offerors who are determined to be within the competitive range.

Note: If the Offeror communicates in its proposal any qualifications, exceptions, exclusions, or conditions to the proposed prices in the Offerors proposal documents, the Contracting Officer may reject the proposal and exclude the Offeror from further discussions.

EVALUATION PROCESS

Initial Screening: Upon receipt of written proposals, the CO will initially screen the proposals and verify that each proposal includes all required information, representations and certifications, and electronic media in the quantities and format specified. The Contracting Officer will then separate the offers into the following tiers:

1. Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns

2. Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) concerns

If an awardable offer is identified in Tier 1 that is responsible, fair and reasonably priced, and within budget, award will be made to the best value offer in that tier and offers in tiers 2-4 will NOT be evaluated. If no awardable offers are found in Tier 1, offers in Tier 2 will be evaluated. This process will continue by tier until an awardable offer is identified.

2.8 PRE-PROPOSAL SITE VISIT
