EVALUATION OF OFFERS

The Government intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract to the responsible Offeror submitting the lowest evaluated price proposal that is rated "Acceptable" for all non-price evaluation factors.

To receive a rating of "Acceptable," the Offeror's proposal must substantively address all of the following elements:

1) The proposal must provide a credible, step-by-step description of the Offeror's plan for executing the work from pre-construction through project closeout. The evaluation will assess whether this plan details the Offeror's specific methods and sequencing for major features of work, going beyond a simple restatement of the specifications.

2) The proposal must identify primary risks and challenges associated with this project and present specific, logical strategies to mitigate them. The Government will evaluate the credibility and effectiveness of the proposed mitigation strategies.

The Government will evaluate Past Performance using the following adjectival ratings:

PAST PERFORMANCE* ACCEPTABLE UNACCEPTABLE

To be rated "Acceptable," the

Offeror's past performance must demonstrate a history of successful contract performance, and the Government must have a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

An Offeror will be rated "Unacceptable" if their past performance record indicates performance that was unsuccessful or of a quality that creates significant doubt that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

*Review of past performance will be based on available information in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) and information in provided references. The Government reserves the right to contact any individuals identified by the offeror as part of their submitted references.

The Government will evaluate the price proposal of all technically acceptable Offerors for completeness and reasonableness. Price will not be adjectivally rated. The evaluated price of all technically acceptable proposals will be ranked from lowest to highest to determine the awardee.
