II. BACKGROUND

A. Currently the US General Services Administration (GSA) Region 1 is considering possible modifications to the Providence Federal Building & Courthouse, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Prior to implementing any modifications to the building GSA requires a BPP to understand the scope and priority of historically significant areas and features of the Providence FB & CH in order to preserve its historic fabric.

B. The BPP program was developed to ensure that the material and cultural values of the GSA’s historic buildings are correctly documented, understood and treated. The purpose of the BPP is to develop exterior and interior zones to guide preservation treatment levels, identify and evaluate selected architectural elements within each zone, and to provide appropriate treatment and repair guidelines.

C. GSA, through the Center for Historic Buildings in the Office of the Chief Architect, has developed an Electronic Document Management System (EDMS), the Historic Buildings Documentation Repository (HBDR), to manage its BPPs, and associated documents, drawings, and images. In support of GSA’s HBDR, the Historic Preservation Professional (HPP) shall ensure certain information is collected and presented as described at Attachment 1. Entry of data into HBDR shall be accomplished by GSA staff.

E. Evaluation Criteria

E.1 Evaluation Procedures

EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award a firm fixed price contract resulting from this solicitation to the offeror whose quote conforms to the solicitation and will be the most advantageous to the Government. During the evaluation, price and other factors shall be considered. Please note that technical and past performance (including past experience, past performance, and refereneces) when combined are significantly more important than price. Since price is not necessarily the determining factor, award may be made to the offeror with other than the lowest price.

Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
