PROPOSAL CLARITY

The proposal shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet the requirements. The offeror shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of the Contractor’s capabilities and experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in its proposal. The offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.

RESTRICTIONS ON DISCLOSURE AND USE OF PROPOSAL

A proposal may include data, such as technical designs or concepts, financial data, or management plans that the offeror does not want disclosed to the public for any reason, or used by the Government for any purpose other than proposal evaluation and contract award. If the offeror wishes to restrict the proposal, the offeror shall mark it in accordance with FAR 52.215-1.

DISPOSITION OF PROPOSAL

The offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.

GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY/INFORMATION

The government will not provide any Government Furnished Property under this contract.

EVALUATION FACTORS

General Considerations. For the evaluation, the proposals will be evaluated under the following areas of consideration: price, technical ability/approach, relevant past performance/experience. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award on initial proposals. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal shall contain the offeror’s best price. If multiple line items are priced, each line item will be evaluated to ensure that balanced pricing exists. If the line items are determined to be unbalanced for the offeror that presents the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal, the Government will allow that offeror the opportunity to balance the line items before award. If the offeror cannot, or chooses not to, balance the line items, the Government shall deem the offeror’s proposal as unacceptable. In addition to the evaluation of the proposal for award determination, the Government may consider your past performance from data obtained from other sources.

Basis for Award. Award will be made to the selected contractor on the basis of the “best value” Evaluated Lowest Price Technically Acceptable proposal that the Government determines can best satisfy the objectives and requirements of this Request for Proposal, in a manner most advantageous to the Government. The documents that each offeror submitted in response to the instructions for preparing the proposal will receive a thorough evaluation. Offeror’s must convey to the Government that they are capable to accomplish the work in a coordinated and timely fashion, such that all the needs of the requirement will be accomplished.

Respondents are required to address the acceptable/unacceptable Technical Factor as follows: Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Evaluation Process.

The Government will evaluate all technical proposals on an acceptable/unacceptable basis to determine all offers that meet the minimum technically acceptable requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. An unacceptable rating for any one factor makes the entire proposal unacceptable. Any costs incurred by offerors in preparing or submitting offers are the offerors’ sole responsibility; the United States Government will not reimburse any offeror for any proposal preparation costs.

The award will be based’on the best overall proposal determined to be the most beneficial to the Government based on the evaluation factors. Contract will be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, as supplemented, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by the solicitation). Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors.

* Evaluation criteria consist of factors. The proposals will be evaluated under three (3) evaluation factors: Factor 1 – Technical Ability/Approach; Factor 2 – Past Performance; Factor 3 – Price*

Factor 1 – Technical Ability/Approach:

The offeror’s proposal provides detailed specific information. Information provided for Technical capability/approach and past performance should be relevant to this requirement as outlined in the Specifications (Construction Document), Drawings, and all other supporting documents. The offeror’s proposal shall include a safety/protection plan, and construction sequence to be able to complete this project. Failure to provide sufficient information so that the evaluation team cannot discern if the offeror has a thorough understanding of the work in question may lead to the offeror receiving an unacceptable rating.

Sub-factor: Management Approach: The contractor’s management approach clearly specifies how the contractor will accomplish all of work within the contracting requirements. The contractor’s approach clearly defines the contractor’s ability to satisfy the Government’s minimum requirements, for the design and install of four-screen statement of work documents.

Sub-factor: Quality Control Plan: The Quality Control Plan clearly demonstrates that the contractor will be able monitor and control environmental pollution and contamination as required by regulations and laws and be able to detect and correct unacceptable work performance within the timeframe specified by the Government.

Factor 2 – Past Performance:

Evaluation: This factor evaluates the past performance of the Offeror to determine the offeror’s relevant and recent performance on the same or similar requirements.

Acceptability Standard: Relevant Experience and Past Performance: The offeror’s past performance experience information will be evaluated to assess the offeror’s experience level on recent and relevant contracts for similar work.

Sub-factor: Experience

(a) Each offeror will receive a performance confidence assessment rating based on the Offeror’s recent past performance, focusing on performance that is relevant to the Contract Requirements.

(b) Recency Assessment. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails to meet this condition will not be evaluated.

© Relevancy Assessment. To be relevant, the effort must be similar in nature of work, size, and scope.

The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine if it is the same or similar in nature of work, size, and scope to the services/products being procured under this solicitation. Recent past performance is defined as not more than three (3) years from the request for proposal release date; relevant in terms of similar nature of work, size and scope.

Factor 3 – Price:

The techniques and procedures described under FAR Part 15 .404 will be the primary means of assessing price submission reasonableness. To be viable for award, offeror’s price must be determined fair and reasonable.

TECHNICAL RATINGS:

Technical Acceptable/ Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets or exceeds the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

PAST PERFORMANCE RATING:

Past Performance Acceptable/ Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the

Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

All of the above Evaluation Criteria will be evaluated on an “Acceptable/Unacceptable” basis. In order to receive an Acceptable for Factor 1 (Technical), the sub-factors must receive an Acceptable. In order to receive an Acceptable for Factor 2 (Past Performance), the sub-factor must receive a rating of Acceptable.

Technical and Past Performance, when combined, are approximately equal to cost/price.

The Government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals if such action is deemed in the best interest of the Government.
