EVALUATION CRITERIA

PROPOSAL EVALUATIONS AND BASIS FOR AWARD

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. This solicitation is for a Firm Fixed Price Contract. The Government intends to award a single contract to a qualified Small Business Offeror deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose proposal conforms to all the RFP's requirements and is judged to represent the Best Value to the Government in accordance with the evaluation scheme set out in this solicitation. Best Value offer will be determined on the basis of the lowest priced proposal meeting the acceptability standards for non-priced evaluation factors.

1.2. To arrive at a Best Value decision this acquisition will utilize the lowest priced technically acceptable (LPTA) process.

1.3. The source selection process will be conducted in accordance with FAR 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Offers will be evaluated using the criteria listed in “Evaluation Factors for Award.” Noncompliance with the RFP requirements may raise serious questions regarding an offeror’s technical ability, past performance and/or pricing and may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award. Failure to include all information requested may adversely affect the evaluation. A proposal that merely reiterates or promises to accomplish the requirements of the RFP will be considered unacceptable. A proposal that is orderly and sufficiently documented will be easy for the Government to understand and will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation.

1.4. The Contracting Officer will begin the evaluation process by conducting a proposal compliance review for all timely-received proposals for determination of basic proposal adequacy prior to providing the proposals to the evaluators. Failure to provide a complete proposal may result in the proposal being removed from further consideration for award. Failure to address any factor Technical, Past Performance and Price or any technical sub-factor shall be grounds for elimination from evaluation and consideration for award.

1.5. Although the assessment of Past Performance as a specific evaluation factor is separate and distinct from the Determination of Responsibility required by FAR Part 9, Past Performance information obtained herein will be used during the Government’s responsibility determination. The Government also reserves the right to obtain additional information solely for the purpose of making a responsibility determination from all offerors after receipt of proposals. Requests for responsibility information do not constitute discussions.

1.6. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer, in his/her sole discretion, later determines them to be necessary or appropriate. Further, the Government reserves the right to create or not to create a competitive range.

1.7. ENFORCEABILITY OF PROPOSAL: The proposal must set forth full, accurate and complete information as required by this solicitation. By submission of the offer, the Offeror agrees that all items proposed (if applicable e.g., key personnel, subcontractors, etc.) will be utilized for the duration of the contract and any substitutions shall require prior Contracting Officer's approval.

2. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

Evaluation Factors, the Best Value offer will be determined on the basis of the lowest priced proposal meeting the acceptability standards for non-priced evaluation factors.

Non-Priced Evaluation Factors listed below were evaluated on an acceptable /unacceptable basis:

• Technical

• Past Performance

TECHNICAL

The Technical Evaluation consists of one factor: Construction Schedule. Provide a construction schedule with a period of performance (POP) not to exceed 10 days after NTP, with all “Fast Tracking” areas clearly identified if proposed. The schedule shall be task oriented, capturing all Statement of Work (SOW) requirements and indicate dates by which milestones are to be achieved. The Offeror shall use either the AF Form 3064 or a critical path scheduling approach, and the schedules shall be graphically represented. Acceptability will be based on the offeror’s demonstration of execution of the construction schedule outlining completion within the desired POP. The schedule shall capture all SOW requirements, execution timelines, and critical path items. The written rationale shall describe coordination of work activities, phasing if applicable, and demonstrate an overview of how the project will be completed on time.

If there is information which deems past performance as less than acceptable for ongoing projects, the offeror will either have been already afforded an opportunity to offer a rebuttal of this information or will be provided such an opportunity in order for the information to be evaluated. The government may contact an offeror for questions on past performance. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and their record will be considered unknown.

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.

In order to ascertain adequate price competition, at least two or more acceptable offers must be received. In the event only one acceptable offers is received, a price fair and reasonable determination will be prepared IAW FAR 13.106-3(a)(2).

IAW FAR 4.102. One copy of the SF 1442 is required to have an original signature. Section 00010 – Insert the price/cost associated with the project in the line items. All line items (CLINs) must be priced with the exception of the CMRA line item (CLIN 0002).

4.1.1. To establish its responsibility, the apparent low offeror may be requested by the Government prior to award, to submit a statement regarding his previous experience in performing comparable work, his business and technical organization, financial and bonding resources and plant available to be used in performing the work.

3. SCHEDULING

3.1. Normal base work hours for the Contractor will be between the hours of 7:00 AM through 4:30 PM, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal Holidays. If the Contractor desires to work during periods other than above, he must notify the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) five (5) working days in advance of his intention to work during other periods to allow assignment of additional inspection forces. When the COR determines that they are reasonably available, he may authorize the Contractor to perform work during periods other than normal duty hours/days. However, if inspectors are required to perform in excess of their normal duty hours/days solely for the benefit of the Contractor, the actual cost of the inspection, at overtime rates, will be charged to the Contractor and will be deducted from the final payment of the Contract amount.

3.2. The following Federal legal Holidays are observed by this base:

The purpose of the above precautions is to ensure construction inspection and recording of work proceedings.
