M - Evaluation Factors for Award

M.1. GENERAL INFORMATION

M.1.1. This solicitation is an Indian Owned Small Business Economic Enterprise set-aside using the Trade-Off Source Selection Process. The factors below will be used in evaluating proposals, and award will be made on a best value basis.

http://www.acquisition.gov/

M.1.2. The Government intends to award a firm fixed-price contract and may request quote revisions. In the event, quote revisions are required, the Government may request revisions from any number of offerors, including only one, some, or all offerors.

M.2. BASIS FOR AWARD

M.2.1. The award will be made based on the best overall (i.e., best value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government with tradeoffs made between the non-price and price factors. The Government may select other than the lowest price or other than the most highly rated Offer. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than Neutral Confidence must be achieved for the Past Performance factor and a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for the other non-price factors.

M.2.2. During the evaluation of each proposal, the Government will assign a rating for Factors 1 through 4. The following factors will be used to evaluate each proposal:

M.2.2.1. Factor 1: Technical Capability

M.2.2.2. Factor 2: Past Performance

M.2.2.3. Factor 3: Price

M.2.3. For the best value determination, Factors 1and 2 are of approximately equal importance. All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are approximately equal to price.

M.3. Factor 1: Technical Capability

M.3.1. This factor will evaluate the Offeror’s narrative describing its approach for accomplishing the work described in the BIA Quarters 140 Renovation project documents. In order to be considered acceptable, the Offeror must demonstrate an understanding of the specific requirements described in the solicitation and demonstrate the ability of their capability to accomplish those requirements.

M.3.2. The factor will be evaluated on the extent to which the narrative:

M.3.2.1. Describes an approach to resourcing, organizing, and communicating on the proposed project that is consistent with requirements in the project description.

M.3.2.2. Provides a level of detail and specificity to this project that demonstrates that the Offeror understands the requirements.

M.3.3. This factor may be more highly rated if the narrative describes an approach to resourcing, organizing, executing, and communicating on the proposed project that reduces the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

M.3.4. This factor will be rated using Table 1.

Table 1. Technical Approach and Key Personnel Rating Definition

Outstanding

Proposal meets all requirements and presents substantial benefits identified by a combination of Significant Strengths and/or Strengths that significantly outweigh risk presented by evaluated Weaknesses, if any. Generally, no Significant Weaknesses are identified. No Deficiencies are found.

Good

Proposal meets all requirements and presents benefits identified by a combination of Significant Strengths and/or Strengths. If Weaknesses and/or Significant Weaknesses are present, the associated risks are outweighed by the evaluated benefits. No Deficiencies are found.

Acceptable Proposal meets all requirements with essentially offsetting benefits and risks presented by Significant Strengths, Strengths, Weaknesses and/or Significant Weaknesses, if any are present. No Deficiencies are found.

Marginal

Proposal minimally meets all requirements, but risks presented by Weaknesses and/or Significant Weaknesses are not fully offset by Strengths or Significant Strengths, if any are present. No Deficiencies are found.

Unacceptable

Proposal may have Significant Strengths or Strengths. However, the benefits presented are irrelevant because the proposal does not meet all requirements or has a combination of Weaknesses, Significant Weaknesses or Deficiencies that present an unacceptable level of risk.

M.4. Factor 2: Past Performance

M.4.1. There are three (3) aspects to the past performance evaluation: recency, relevancy, and quality of performance, which are combined to establish an integrated past performance rating at the factor level in accordance with Table 3 below for each Offeror.

M.4.2. Recency. An evaluation of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. Recency is defined as active contract performance during the six (6) years preceding the date of issuance of this solicitation. Contracts that were started prior to this time, but still in effect with active performance as of six (6) years from the date of this solicitation, will be considered recent. If a contract reference is determined recent (had some or all active performance in the six (6) years preceding the solicitation issuance date) and had active performance prior to the six (6) years preceding the date of issuance of this solicitation, the Government may evaluate the Offerors' performance record during the entire contract period. More recent performance will have a greater impact on the Past Performance Confidence Assessment (see Table 3 below) than less recent or relevant effort.

M.4.3. Relevancy. The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine how closely the work performed under those contracts relate to the services described in the plans. Specifically, relevancy is defined as contracts of similar size, scope, and magnitude, involving the type of services described in the solicitation, including the plans.

M.4.4. Quality. The Government will consider the performance quality of recent, relevant efforts (how well the contractor performed on the contracts). For each recent, relevant past performance citation reviewed, the quality of the work performed will be assessed. All aspects of performance that relate to this acquisition may be considered.

M.4.5. Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings. This factor will be rated using Table 2.

Table 2. Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings Rating Definition

Substantial Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent, relevant, and quality performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent, relevant, and quality performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence

No recent, relevant, and quality performance record is available or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent, relevant, and quality performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent, relevant, and quality performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

NOTE: Offerors without a record of recent/relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and, as a result, will receive a “Neutral Confidence” rating for the Past Performance factor.

M.5. Factor 3: Price

M.5.1. The contract awarded from this solicitation will be Firm-Fixed-Price construction. Price reasonableness analysis will be performed by the Government to determine that the proposal prices offered are complete, fair, and reasonable. Normally, competition establishes price reasonableness.

Comparison of the proposed prices is expected to satisfy the requirement to perform a price analysis.

M.5.2. For purposes of award, the total evaluated price will include all prices for the contract in its entirety as identified in Section B-PRICE SCHEDULE. The total evaluated price for purposes of the Best Value Trade Off and award will be determined by the total sum of the line items in the Schedule of Values, and as shown in SF-1442 Block 17.

M.6. FINAL SELECTION

M.6.1. The Contracting Officer will award to the Offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government, all factors considered.
