52.236-28 PREPARATION OF PROPOSALS—CONSTRUCTION OCT 1997

Evaluation of Offers:

This section describes the evaluation process, proposal preparation, the significant factors and sub-factors and criteria to be used in the evaluation process. This procurement action is a Lowest

Price Technically Acceptable source selection process in accordance with FAR 15.101-2.

Proposals will be evaluated for acceptability, but not ranked using the non-price factors/sub-factors. In order to be considered for award, an offeror must have an “acceptable” rating in every non-price factor/sub-factor under consideration.

The Government intends to award a single contract to a qualified Service Disabled Veteran

Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) determined responsible in accordance with the Federal

Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose proposal conforms to all the requirements in this solicitation and is further determined to meet or exceed the standards of acceptability at the coefficient that is reasonably priced. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from both a technical and cost standpoint.

The evaluation of offers submitted in response to this Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation will be conducted utilizing the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) selection process.

Utilization of this source selection process may result in not all offers being evaluated. The

Contracting Officer upon receipt of offers, will determine eligibility and compliance to the solicitation requirements. The Vendor Information Pages (vetbiz registry) will be checked to ensure that any offeror submitting a proposal to perform the work is both listed and verified. All proposals received will also be checked for an active registration in the System For Award

Management (SAM). Thereafter, the Contracting Officer will review all proposals to ensure that the minimum proposal submission requirements have been met. Once these requirements have been satisfied, the Contracting Officer will select and submit for review to the Technical

Evaluation Board (TEB) the technical proposal of the lowest priced offeror for consideration.

Initially, the TEB will not receive any pricing information, only the technical portion of the

Offeror’s proposal. The Offeror’s proposal will be rated against each evaluation factor as set forth in this solicitation.

If the selected Offeror’s proposal is determined to be acceptable based on the standards of acceptability, and that Offeror’s price is the lowest of all offers submitted, then no further evaluation of offers shall occur, and the Contracting Officer will document these findings and proceed with the responsibility determination of the offeror. Pricing information will only be provided to the TEB upon notification to the Contracting Officer that the technical proposal as submitted meets or exceeds the acceptability standard necessary to fulfill the objective of the requirement.

Should the initial Offeror’s proposal be determined to be unacceptable according to the standards of acceptability, then the TEB will be required to provide to the Contracting Officer a summary evaluation sheet that documents how the Offeror’s proposal fails to meet the standards of acceptability, and request to the Contracting Officer that another selection be made for consideration of award. This process shall continue until such time that an award is made.

Offerors shall respond in writing to the evaluation factors listed below, in the same order as they appear in this solicitation document. Failure to provide all information will adversely affect the evaluation of an offer. The information contained in the technical proposal should be complete, concise, and address each factor. If information is applicable to more than one evaluation factor, it must be repeated for each factor, unless stated otherwise.

Technical and Price sections of an Offeror’s proposal will be evaluated independently. Offeror shall separately bind each section. All pages containing text shall be consecutively numbered, type-written on 8-1/2x11 inch paper with margins of at least one (1) inch and created using a

Times New Roman 12-point font. The submitted package should contain two (2) sections, separately bind: a.) Technical Proposal b.) Price Proposal. The Offeror’s Technical proposal shall be no more than 50 pages total, which is not inclusive of the solicitation and any amendments issued thereof. The Offeror’s Price Proposal shall be no more than 25 pages inclusive of the bid bonds required. The Offeror is hereby advised that the “S02-Price Schedule”

Each section must therefore be labeled with the following:

1. Construction Company Name

2. Physical Address of the Company

3. Telephone Number

4. Email address

5. VA Project Number (Project 614-18-107)

6. VA Project Name (Replace Security Camera Surveillance System)

7. Solicitation number (36C24920R0074)

Any offer/bid that comes in the form of an email or facsimile shall be rendered technically unacceptable/nonresponsive.

The Technical Evaluation Board (TEB) shall evaluate the Offeror’s proposal against all non-price factors/sub-factors to determine whether the proposal is acceptable or unacceptable, using the

“ACCEPTABLE” or “UNACCEPTABLE” ratings based upon the standard of acceptability that follows each factor/sub-factor below. In order to obtain a “ACCEPTABLE” rating an offeror must meet the standard of acceptability that is listed for each factor/sub-factor.

The evaluation process and criteria stated in this section will be strictly adhered to. Evaluators will make no assumptions regarding an Offeror’s proposal. Therefore, an Offeror must demonstrate understanding by the thoroughness, soundness, comprehensiveness and price reasonableness of technical approach. There will be no public opening of offers.

The following evaluation factors and sub-factors will apply to this procurement:

Note: The past performance evaluation results are an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements. The Government may also obtain past performance information through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System

(PPIRS) other sources known to the Government.

RELEVANT: The Government will perform an independent determination of data relevancy, provided or obtained. The main assessment of relevancy shall focus on capability and magnitude. Capability assesses whether the work being performed in the reference is similar to the work in the requirement.

Magnitude defines whether the amount of work in the reference is similar to the amount of work that is to be performed in the requirement.

RECENT Recent past performance shall be defined as successful performance under contracts similar in scope to the subject requirement completed within the last five (5) years through proposal due date.

FACTOR 4: Price: The offeror shall provide pricing for the base offer, as well as the bid item listed in the Statement of Work. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by the base offer item 1. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the offer appears significantly unbalanced. The price proposal is assumed to include the S02-Price

Schedule Worksheet, the signed SF 1442, with acknowledgment of any amendments, plus the

Offeror’s Bid Guarantee documents (3 pages).

Standard for Acceptability: This standard is met when the Offeror submits a price proposal consistent with the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) and when analyzed by each price line item, is determined to be consistent with the work required.

The proposed price will be analyzed for reasonableness. It may also be analyzed for the different divisions of work to be performed, reflects a clear understanding of the requirement; and is consistent with the Offeror’s Technical Proposal. A detailed price breakdown is required and shall be provided on the “S02-Solicitation Attachment-Price Schedule” worksheet provided with the solicitation.

If a detailed price breakdown is not included in the offeror’s price proposal, the contractor may be excluded from further consideration of contract award. Pricing will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.4 to determine reasonableness and evaluate potential performance risks.

In this context, reasonableness will be determined by comparing offered prices with the

Government estimate. This factor will be evaluated as either reasonable or unreasonable. The

Government reserves the right to cancel subject RFP and re-solicit via another mechanism should a fair and reasonable price not be achieved, or reasonableness of price cannot be determined.
