SECTION M – EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M.1. GENERAL INFORMATION

M.1.1. The policies in FAR subpart 15.3 do not apply to this ordering process. This order will utilize the fair opportunity process outlined in FAR 16.505(b)(1). This order will be placed on a competitive basis. The factors below will be used in evaluating proposals, and award will be made on a best value basis.

M.1.2. The Government intends to award without requesting proposal revisions. If proposal 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 relevant must be achieved for Factor 1 and a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for Factors 2, 3 & 4 (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 are listed in descending order of importance and will be used to evaluate each proposal:

M.2.2.1. Factor 1: Experience

M.2.2.2. Factor 2: Capacity

M.2.2.3. Factor 3: Key Personnel

M.2.2.4. Factor 4: Technical Approach Narrative

M.2.2.5. Factor 5: Price

M.2.3. For the best value determination, Factors 1-4 are listed in descending order of importance. All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are approximately equal to price.

M.3. Factor 1: Experience

M.3.1. There are two (2) aspects to the experience evaluation: recency and relevancy. In accordance with the instructions in Section L, Factor 1, Offerors shall submit a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) projects that best demonstrate its team’s experience on recent and relevant projects that are similar in scope, complexity, size, and price to the work required under this solicitation. If more than five (5) projects are submitted, only the first five (5) projects will be evaluated.

M.3.1.1 Recency. An evaluation of each proposed project will be made to determine if it is recent. Recency is defined as completion within the ten (10) years preceding the date of issuance of this solicitation. Proposed projects that fail this condition will not be evaluated. More recent projects will have a greater impact on the Relevancy Rating (see Table 1 below) than less recent effort.

M.3.1.2 Relevancy. The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all information submitted to determine how closely the work performed under those contracts relates to the services described in the SOW. Specifically, relevant is defined as contracts of similar size, scope, and magnitude, involving the type of services described in the solicitation.

Offerors are required to explain what aspects of each contract are deemed relevant to complexity and magnitude as related to the requirements of this solicitation.

Failure to provide required relevancy description may impact the relevancy rating.

In determining relevancy for individual projects, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the Offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. In other words, the work performed by the entity under the submitted project will be compared to the work proposed to be performed by that same entity under the project described in this solicitation.

The Government will use the relevancy definitions in Table 1 below when assessing recent, relevant contracts.

Table 1. Relevancy Rating Rating Definition

Very Relevant Submitted projects involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation. Projects completed more recently may be considered more relevant.

Relevant Submitted projects completed within the last 10 years involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Submitted projects completed within the last 10 years involved some elements of the scope or a lesser magnitude of effort or complexity than this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Submitted projects completed within the last 10 years involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

M.4. Factor 2: Capacity

M.4.1. This factor will evaluate each offeror’s team’s existing project commitments to determine if the offeror and its team have the resources (capacity) to perform the required work in the required timeframe. At a minimum, the proposal must show that the offeror has the resources or access to the resources to perform the work in the time required. This factor is not intended to provide for allocation or “equitable distribution” of orders under the C-MAC or to place an order ceiling on individual C-MAC holders, a prohibited practice that is counter to the principle of fair opportunity.

M.4.2. A proposal may be more highly rated for this factor if it demonstrates that the offeror’s resources exceed its commitments.

M.4.3. This factor will be rated using the definitions in Table 2.

Table 2. Capacity Rating Definition

Good

The proposal convincingly shows that the offeror has the resources or access to the resources to perform the work in the time required. No Deficiencies are found.

Acceptable The proposal adequately shows that the offeror has the resources or access to the resources to perform the work in the time required. No Deficiencies are found.

Unacceptable

The proposal does not meet all requirements, has an identified Deficiency, or has a combination of Weaknesses and/or Significant Weaknesses that present an unacceptable level of risk that the offeror cannot perform the work in the time required.

risk.

M.5. Factor 3: Key Personnel

M.5.1. This factor will evaluate the extent to which the key personnel meet the desired experience and education listed below. Proposals may be more highly rated if they offer key personnel who exceed the minimum requirements or offer additional professional qualifications.

M.5.2 Proposals may be more highly rated if they offer key personnel whose resumes demonstrate experience with projects similar in scope, complexity, size, and cost or price to the Many Farms High School Construction Services project.

M.5.3. This factor will be rated using the definitions in Table 4 and the desired qualifications in Table 3.

Table 3. Key Personnel Desired Qualification Requirements Position Desired Qualification Requirements

M.6. Factor 4: Technical Approach Narrative

M.6.1. This factor will evaluate the Offeror’s narrative describing its approach for accomplishing the work described in the Many Farms High School Construction Services SOW and project documents. To be considered acceptable, the Offeror must demonstrate an understanding of the specific requirements described in the solicitation and demonstrate the ability of their approach to accomplish those requirements.

M.6.2. The factor will be evaluated on the extent to which the narrative:

M.6.2.1. Is logical and free of contradictory or conflicting information.

M.6.2.2. Describes an approach to resourcing, organizing, and communicating on the proposed project that is consistent with requirements in the project description.

M.6.2.3. Provides a level of detail and specificity to this project that demonstrates that the Offeror understands the requirements.

M.6.3. 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.6.4. This factor will be rated using Table 4.

Table 4. Technical Approach Rating Definition

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.

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.

risk.

M.7 Factor 5: Price

M.7.1. 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, however, the Government may, if necessary, analyze the Offeror’s price breakdown in Section B to establish reasonableness of an otherwise successful offeror’s price. The Government reserves the right to conduct price realism analysis.

M.7.2. 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. Offerors must submit pricing for all line items. 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 PRICE SCHEDULE, and as shown in SF-1442 Block 17. The additional information in the Price Breakdown will only be requested from the successful offeror and is not to be included in the proposal.

M.8. FINAL SELECTION

M.8.1. 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.
