EVALUATION CRITERIA

VOLUME I - TECHNICAL APPROACH & CAPABILITY

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

SUBFACTOR 1: SAMPLES OF COMPLETED EXHIBIT DESIGN BUILD PROJECTS

Evaluation will be based on samples of work which shall demonstrate the ability of the offeror to design and build museum-quality exhibits, and to respond to both the technical and creative needs of this project.

Point of Contact: Stacy_Vallie@nps.gov

For the purpose of this evaluation, “museum-quality exhibits” are defined herein as displays produced for a museum, visitor center, or other interpretive facility that interprets historical, cultural, and natural science topics. Examples of exhibits prepared for art museums, commercial, retail, sales, and trade show venues will not be evaluated.

Specifically, evaluation of Samples of Work will include the contractor’s demonstration of your abilities based on the following criteria:

a. Demonstrate the ability to design and build museum-quality exhibits that meet or exceed both legal accessibility requirements and National Park Service programmatic accessibility requirements.

b. Demonstrate the ability to design and build engaging, interactive exhibit content. Samples of work which demonstrate direct audience engagement providing meaningful interpretive experiences may be more favorably rated.

d. Demonstrate the ability of the proposed Exhibit Writer to create interpretive text that is free from error in grammar, spelling, or punctuation. Samples of writing that are evocative, moving, and sensitively present multiple perspectives may be more favorably rated.

e. Demonstrate the ability of the proposed Model Maker to design and build tactile relief models that are realistic, durable, and accessible. Samples of work with showcase scenic land and ocean features that have the ability to generate visitor engagement may be more favorably rated.

SUBFACTOR 2: EXHIBIT DEVELOPMENT AND FABRICATION PROCESS

Evaluation will be based on the ability to create phased or iterative exhibit planning, design, and fabrication documents that effectively communicate design intent, that logically progress from one phase of work to the next, and that contain a level of detail appropriate for each milestone.

SUB-FACTOR 3: FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT

Evaluation will be based on the ability of the offeror to demonstrate that the contractor has the major equipment and facilities to provide all elements of the required work.

FACTOR 2: KEY PERSONNEL

Evaluation is based on resumes of proposed personnel, including subcontractors, that clearly demonstrate the offeror’s proposed personnel have the skills and abilities to perform all functions required under this contract. The offeror shall provide a description of each person or firm’s qualifications and experience performing the work outlined in the scope of work.

The qualifications and prior experience of the offeror’s proposed team will be evaluated to determine the proposed team’s capability to successfully provide all elements required for museum interpretive exhibit design/build. Offerors demonstrating experience on recent, relevant projects similar to those required under this solicitation may be more favorably rated. Clear evidence of experience in which the proposed project team worked together on similar projects will be considered as highly contributive to the likelihood of project success.

The capabilities, qualifications and prior experience of the proposed key personnel will be evaluated to determine the capability of the key personnel to successfully execute and complete the required services. If a proposed individual does not possess sufficient experience, offerors may provide supplemental information about qualifying education and similar experience. Any substitution shall demonstrate how the proposed individual’s knowledge, skills and abilities to successfully perform

Point of Contact: Stacy_Vallie@nps.gov the duties of the key personnel position are commensurate with the identified minimum requirements.

Key personnel that possess higher qualifications regarding relevant education, experience, technical knowledge and expertise to fulfill the scope requirements, and possession of substantial, relevant knowledge within their respective areas may receive a higher rating.

FACTOR 3: MANAGEMENT PLAN

Evaluation will be based on a management plan that clearly demonstrates the offeror’s ability to select and effectively manage both in-house as well as subcontracted personnel whose skills and abilities demonstrably match the creative and technical needs of the exhibits at DINO.

FACTOR 4: PAST PERFORMANCE

The offeror shall complete the included Past Performance Questionnaire for three (3) completed, or substantially completed, projects performed by the prime contractor and proposed subcontractors within the last seven (7) years for efforts that are similar in scope and complexity. Past performance will be evaluated in the areas of quality of service, timeliness of performance, customer satisfaction and cost control. Past performance will be evaluated in terms of overall relevancy to this project and in terms of overall level of confidence in the firms’ ability to successfully execute and complete this project supported by the indicated past performance.

Offerors demonstrating a higher level of successful past performance in the evaluated areas or that demonstrate past performance of similar projects related to management of parks and protected areas may receive a more favorable rating. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant, recent past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror will be evaluated neither favorably nor unfavorably.

In establishing what is relevant for this acquisition, consideration shall be given to an offeror’s history of contract (or subcontract) performance that would provide the most context and give the greatest ability to measure whether the offeror will successfully satisfy the current requirement. Common aspects of relevancy include similarity in scope of service, complexity, dollar value, use of key personnel, and extent of subcontracting.

The evaluation will be based on information obtained from the Past Performance Questionnaires, and other relevant past performance information obtained from other sources known to the Government, to include additional references, and Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS).

The Government will assess the relative risks associated with each offeror. Performance risks are those associated with an offeror’s likelihood of success in performing the acquisition requirements as indicated by that offeror’s record of past performance. The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, sources of the information, context of the data and general trends in the offeror’s or key subcontractor’s past performance. Offeror's will be provided an opportunity to comment on adverse past performance if it has not already been afforded that opportunity by the Government agency providing adverse past performance information.

The assessment of performance risk is not intended to be the product of a mechanical or

Point of Contact: Stacy_Vallie@nps.gov mathematical analysis of an offeror’s performance on a list of contracts, but rather the product of subjective judgement by the Government after it considers all available and relevant information.

When assessing performance risks, the Government will focus on the past performance of the offeror as it relates to all acquisition requirements, such as: 1) the offeror’s record of performing according to specifications, including standards of good workmanship; 2) the offeror’s record of controlling and forecasting costs; 3) the offeror’s adherence to contract schedules including the administrative aspects of performance; 4) the offeror’s reputation for reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and 5) the offeror’s business-like concern for the interest of the customer.
