Evaluation FACTORS

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation using the evaluation method "Lowest Price Technically Acceptable." This method is appropriate when best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable offer with the lowest evaluated reasonable price.

Offers will be evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non-price factors. Evaluation factors and significant sub factors that establish the requirements of acceptability are set forth below. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated reasonable price of proposals meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors (RFO FAR 15.103-2). The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in RFO FAR 15.202(a)(2)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from technical, past performance, and price. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. The Government reserves the right to waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received. If a minor clerical error has occurred, then the offeror may be given an opportunity to correct the minor error within the constraints of the "clarifications" process.

This solicitation is for a firm, fixed price construction contract. Award shall be made to the technically acceptable offer that provides the lowest reasonable price. The Government intends to award a contract to one offeror deemed responsible in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR 9.1).

Offerors are required to submit technical proposals addressing the Evaluation Factors and Sub- Factors identified. The procurement is being conducted utilizing the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process in accordance with RFO FAR 15.103-2. Proposal will be evaluated for acceptability, but not ranked, using the non-price evaluation factors. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated reasonable price of proposals meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors. There shall be no trade-offs. Offers evaluated as not Technically Acceptable will not be eligible for award, regardless of price. The proposal must set forth full, accurate and complete information as required by the solicitation. The Government will rely on such information for the award of the contract. By submission of the offer, the Offeror agrees that all items proposed will be utilized for the duration of the contract and any substitutions will require prior Contracting Officer's approval. The offeror shall be held responsible for the validity of all information supplied in the proposal, including the information provided by potential subcontractors. Should subsequent investigation disclose that the facts and conditions were not as stated, the proposal may be rejected. To ensure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The response shall consist of three (3) separate parts; Part I -Technical Proposal - Part II -Past Performance-Part III Price Proposal.

The Government's technical evaluation team will evaluate the technical proposals on an acceptable or unacceptable basis, assigning one of the ratings described below for each subfactor.

Any subfactor evaluated as "Unacceptable" will render the entire proposal unacceptable and, therefore, awardable.

Only those proposals determined to be technically acceptable, at time of award, will be considered for award. However, the offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements for solicitation. Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements for solicitation. This solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-price factors:

Factor 1: Technical - Significantly more Important than past performance and price. Evaluation of this factor will be based on the offeror's submission of a project schedule that demonstrates the offeror's understanding of the work requirement including estimated timeframes for ordering supplies and completing construction. Capable of handling specialized commercial kitchen equipment installations. Meet or exceed the performance requirements of the existing unit (model STERO STPCW-ER-18, Hobart WPS-122, Hobart CLP86).

a. Experience - Previous experience will be evaluated as "Acceptable or Non-Acceptable". To be acceptable, offerors must provide information demonstrating they have successfully performed as prime contractors within the last FIVE (5) years* on at least THREE (3) construction project of equal or greater size and complexity and magnitude within the same or similar scope of work as identified in this solicitation. Past performance information shall be obtained by the Contract Specialist from any other sources available to the Government to include, but not limited to, PPIRS or other databases.

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, or the offeror's performance record is unknown.

(see note below)

Unacceptable

Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

TECHNICAL RATINGS

*The FIVE (5) years shall be calculated from the solicitation issue date.

Factor 2: Past Performance Evaluation: Significantly more important than price, but less important than technical. The Past Performance evaluation results are an assessment of the offeror's probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the offeror's record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertains to the requirements outlined in the solicitation. A qualified contractor capable of handling specialized commercial kitchen equipment restaurant-type projects similar in size, scope, and complexity to large-scale DFAC dishwasher or tray conveyor replacements.

Factor 3: Price - Prices will be evaluated for reasonableness through a comprehensive comparison of each proposal received. Reasonableness will be determined based on prices submitted by the competition, current market conditions, and comparison to the Government estimate. Prices will also be evaluated to determine if they are either excessive or insufficient for the effort to be accomplished, and for any unbalanced areas within the offeror's pricing proposal. A price that is too low or too high may endanger the proposal's opportunity for award of a contract.

Evaluation factors: Technical is more significant than both Past Performance and Price. Past Performance is significantly more important than Price but not more than Technical. Price is less significant than the factors of Technical and Past Performance.

Each proposal shall be evaluated to ensure that all information provided in the RFP has been addressed, is accurate and complete.
