6. STEP-ONE REQUEST FOR TECHNICAL PROPOSALS EVALUATION

The Government will evaluate each Offeror's technical proposal based on how well the proposal addresses each of the evaluation factors listed below. Each of the evaluation factors will be evaluated by the Government and either an "Acceptable", "Unacceptable" or "Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made Acceptable" rating will be determined by consensus of the Government evaluation board. There are no relative weights assigned to the factors. A Step-One acceptable technical proposal must be rated "Acceptable" for all evaluation factors in order to receive an overall "Acceptable" technical proposal rating.

General Technical Proposal and Evaluation Information:

a. The evaluation will be conducted in accordance with FAR Subpart 14.5, Two-Step Sealed Bidding. For this procurement, only one (1) technical proposal may be submitted by each Offeror. The proposal must be complete without the need of additional explanation or information. The Government may proceed with Step-Two without requesting further information from any Offeror; however, the Government may request additional information from Offerors of proposals that it considers "Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made Acceptable."

b. Technical Proposals will be rated at the factor level. If any factor is determined to be "Unacceptable", the entire proposal

d. In general, example projects or experience that the Government does not consider relevant for the purposes of evaluating experience will not be considered as a part of the minimum project requirement.

e. The degree of acceptability to the Government inherent in the content of the Offeror's technical proposal will be a consideration under every evaluation factor.

f. If discussions are held with Offerors whose proposals are considered "reasonably susceptible of being made acceptable" and a request for proposal revisions are requested, the revised proposal will be re-evaluated in accordance with the criteria in the solicitation. After completion of discussions and evaluation of any revised proposals, the proposal will be determined as "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable". If determined "Unacceptable", a notice of unacceptability will be forwarded to the Offeror upon completion of the proposal's evaluation.

g. Any proposal which modifies or fails to conform to the essential requirements or specifications of the request for technical proposals will be considered nonresponsive and categorized as "Unacceptable".

h. The Offeror's conformance with the specified format and submission requirements will be considered during the technical evaluation. Failure to comply with the formatting and/or submission requirements may be seen as indicative of the type of problems that could be expected during contract performance. Lack of conformance and material omission(s) may cause the technical proposal to be rejected as "Unacceptable".

i. The Step-One submission instructions are written to give prospective Offerors, where feasible, an indication of the level of detail desired by the Government. The Offeror's failure to include information that the Government has indicated must be included will result in the proposal being found other than "Acceptable" if inadequate detail is provided.

based on how closely they align with this project's requirements, including its scope and The relevancy of submitted projects complexity. Offerors should identify past performance and highlight how their relevant experience can reasonably translate to the work outlined below.

a. Technical Requirements:

1) Demonstrate the ability to work safely on roofing projects at significant heights (approximately Elevated Roofing Work:

250 feet), including consideration of appropriate safety measures and access methods.

2) Provide certification or identify a certified subcontractor for the safe removal and disposal of Asbestos Mitigation:

Factor 2 - Past Performance

Submission Requirements:

Submit past performance information on each project submitted for Factor 1. DO NOT provide Past Performance references for projects other than those project examples provided for Factor 1. The quantity of projects submitted for this factor is the same as the quantity of projects submitted for the Factor 1 submission requirements, three (3).

is provided for the offering firms to submit to the client of each The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attachment A) project the offering firm includes in its submission requirements for Factor 1. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client's point of contact. The completed PPQs should be submitted with the Step-One technical proposals. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact, Lynne Reed at and via email prior to the Step-Lynne.D.Reed@usace.army.mil Daniel Monahan at Daniel.D.Monahan@usace.army.mil One technical proposal closing date and time. Previously completed PPQs are acceptable.

Note: If any of the projects are Government contracts with a completed CPARS, please only complete blocks 1 through 5 of the PPQ form (Attachment A) and attach it to the front of the CPARS rating. Be sure to include the POC's information of the client and the contract number of the project.

The past performance evaluation assesses the degree of confidence the Government has in an Offeror's ability to supply products and services outlined in the Step-One IFB requirements based on the offeror's demonstrated record of performance. There are three (3) aspects to the evaluation which are recency, relevancy, and quality. The Government will at a minimum, evaluate the successful performance of all project examples submitted for Factor 1 and categorize the proposal with one (1) combined evaluation for this factor.

The burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the proposing firm. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, the Government will only evaluate past performance of the division or unit submitting the offer or of the team member. The prime contractor will be rated on its own performance. A prime contractor may not establish past performance based on the past performance of its proposed key personnel, apart from that of the entity.

In accordance with FAR 15.305 and DFARS 215.305, the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor's performance will be considered. However, the comparative assessment in FAR 15.305(a)(2)(i) does not apply. Therefore, past performance will be rated on an "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" basis only.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror will be determined to have unknown (or "neutral") past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating will be considered "Acceptable."

The Government may also review past performance information from any sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Contractor Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or other databases using all CAGE/UEID numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the Offeror's proposal; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency. The Government reserves the right to check any or all cited references to verify supplied information and to assess owner satisfaction. The evaluation may consider the number and severity of problems, the demonstrated effectiveness of corrective actions taken, and the overall work record.

Minimum Acceptability Criteria:

Past performance information must be submitted for each of the three (3) projects submitted for Factor 1.

A proposing firm demonstrates acceptable past performance by meeting the minimum submission and past performance solicitation requirements and based on the Offeror's satisfactory or higher performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully supply products and services that meet all the requirements of this solicitation's plans and specifications.
