Evaluation factors for award

The Government will award a Firm Fixed Price contract resulting from this solicitation. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements and which represents the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered. Competitive best value tradeoff source selection procedures will be used to evaluate proposals IAW FAR 15.101-1

– Tradeoff process.

Technical factors are equal in importance. When combined, technical factors are approximately equal to price factor; however, as proposals become more equal in their technical merit, the evaluated price becomes the determining factor. The Government may make tradeoffs between price and technical merit when determining if the increased technical merit is worth the increased price.

15A00024R00000031 Page 12 of 44

The Government intends to evaluate proposal(s) and award contract without discussions with offeror(s) (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from technical standpoint and price. This does not preclude the Contracting Officer from holding discussions if it is determined discussions are necessary. 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. If so, the competitive range may be limited for efficiency. If competitive range is established, the technical factors will be combined with the total evaluated contract price (Base CLINs/Bids and Option CLINs/Bids) to determine the competitive range.

The evaluation criteria below will be used to evaluate an offeror's proposal with respect to each of the factors and subfactors.

Volume I – Technical Proposal Factor 1 – Project Experience:

Evaluation of Factor 1 – Project Experience:

The proposal must demonstrate the offeror project recent and relevant experience similar to the scope and complexity of construction project as detailed in the solicitation. The offeror should submit a detailed description of three (3) projects considering recency and relevancy defined in Project Definitions section of the solicitation. Additionally, the proposal must demonstrate the offeror’s understanding of the project requirements, complexities, and constraints under which the work will be performed, and established technical approach demonstrating the ability for managing and performance of SOW.

Factor 2 – Past Performance Evaluation of Factor 2 – Past Performance:

The proposal must demonstrate must the offeror's ability to successfully perform project(s) similar in scope and complexity to solicitation. Past performance evaluation will be based on the review of the provided references for three (3) projects, CPARS reports and/or PPQs submitted by references. A follow-up discussion may be conducted with the references provided to the Contracting Officer.

Using CPARS.gov, the Contracting Officer (CO) will access Past Performance reports for the Offeror's core team members (Prime General Contractor, Joint Venture teaming partner and/or mentor-protégé partner. The offeror shall provide DUNS/UEI (Unique Entity Identifier) numbers for itself and each of the Offeror's core team members (Prime General Contractor, Joint Venture, teaming partner and/or mentor-protégé partner) to facilitate the retrieval of recent and relevant CPAR reports for Past Performance evaluation.

If the offeror without a record of relevant and recent past performance, it shall affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant and recent past performance. If offeror lacks relevant and recent past performance AND fails to make an affirmative declaration of the same, the VA will evaluate past performance factor based on information submitted. Beware, this may result in an adverse past performance rating, something other than neutral rating. Reference FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv) – Proposal evaluation, an offeror without a record of relevant and recent past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

At the Government's discretion, additional past performance information may be obtained from the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or any other sources available to the Government to be used in this evaluation. Additional reports will be limited to performance examples that demonstrate the offeror’s recent and relevant record of performance that meet the solicitation requirements.

Volume II – Price Proposal Factor 3 – Price Evaluation of Factor 3 – Price:

The price proposal will be evaluated to determine the reasonableness of the offeror's CLIN 0001. Additionally, the Government may evaluate whether the offeror has submitted unbalanced pricing. An unbalanced price is one where the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated and which will result in the Government paying an unreasonably high price for contract performance or otherwise present an unacceptable level of risk to the Government. If the Contracting Officer determines that the risk is unacceptable, then the offer can be rejected. A price analysis will be performed in accordance with FAR 15.404-1 – Proposal analysis techniques.

15A00024R00000031 Page 13 of 44

Offer, Amendments, and Certifications & Representations:

The proposal must include additional items a through g detailed in Offer, Amendments, and Certifications & Representations of the solicitation. If the Contracting Officer determines that items are omitted, then the offer will be considered nonresponsive.
