BASIS FOR AWARD

BASIS FOR AWARD AND FACTORS/SUB-FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

Awards will be made to the offerors who provide the best proposals that are determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the following three (3) evaluation factors: Technical (Factor I), Past Performance (Factor II), and Price (Factor III). Technical (Factor I) and Past Performance (Factor II), when combined are significantly more important than Price (Factor III). Technical is more important than Price, but slightly less important than Past Performance. The Technical subfactors are all weighted equally. Past Performance is the most important factor. The Government will complete its evaluation by performing a best value trade-off among Technical, Past Performance, and Price. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for the Technical factor and the Past Performance factor must be rated at least Neutral. Offerors are cautioned that the awards may not necessarily be made to the offerors offering the lowest pricing. Price will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.404-1. The Government will not conduct price realism on the coefficient or price. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and make awards without discussions.

Approximately five (5) awards are anticipated, but the Government reserves the right to make greater than or fewer than five awards if appropriate. Offerors should ensure the completeness of their proposals and offer their best terms and conditions with their initial proposals. If negotiations are considered necessary, they will be conducted with those offerors in a competitive range. The determination of the competitive range will be the responsibility of the Contracting Officer and the Source Selection Authority.

If appropriate and necessary to reach the desired number of MATOC awards, the Government reserves the right to make initial awards to the most qualified offerors and then to establish a competitive range with additional unawarded offeror(s) who would be given an opportunity to submit a revised proposal for a Phase 2 evaluation and award. Any offeror receiving a Phase 2 award would be added to the MATOC.

Factors and sub-factors under this solicitation are not numerically weighted.

In order to be considered for award, offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) under NAICS 236220 (Size Standard $33.5M) prior to contract award.

B. FACTORS AND SUB-FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

Awards will be made to the offerors whose proposals are most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and sub-factors described below.

Evaluation of the offeror’s proposal shall address each sub-factor as it applies to the Performance Work Statement (PWS). A detailed explanation of the criteria for the evaluation is set forth in the “Evaluation Approach”, Paragraph C of this section. During evaluations of each proposal, the Government evaluation team will review each subfactor. Strengths, Weaknesses, and Deficiencies will be documented for Subfactors a, b, and d. Subfactor c - Key Personnel will only be evaluated for deficiencies. It is a pass/fail subfactor.

For the Technical Factor, each sub-factor will be evaluated to determine if the information provided and the proposed approach associated with each factor meets or does not meet the minimum performance or capability requirement. To receive an overall “Acceptable” Technical factor rating, all sub-factors must not contain deficiencies. Numerous identified weaknesses, could cause the overall Technical Factor to be rated as Marginal or Unacceptable. Based on the evaluations of the technical subfactors and noted strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies, the Government will then assign an overall color/adjectival rating for the Technical Factor.

Factor 1: The Technical factor is further divided into the following sub-factors:

a. Bonding Capacity

b. Safety

c. Selected Key Personnel

d. Contract Management Plan (CMP)

Factor 2: Past Performance: Each offeror’s past performance will be reviewed to determine relevancy and confidence assessment.

Factor 3: Price: Price will be evaluated per FAR 15.404. Examples of methods that may be used include a comparison to the other competitive pricing received in response to the solicitation, comparison to previous prices paid, and a comparison to the IGCE pricing. For evaluation purposes, Offeror’s pricing will be evaluated based on the total amount proposed for CLIN 1001, 1004, 2001, 3001, 4001, and 5001. Pricing must be balanced between years and CLINs, and the pricing for the Seed Project Task Order proposed in CLIN 1004 must be reasonable.

C. EVALUATION APPROACH

All proposals shall be subject to evaluation by the Source Selection Team (SST). The SST will first evaluate Technical Subfactors a and b from below. Any proposal containing a deficiency for Subfactor a or Subfactor b may not be evaluated further.

1. The overarching evaluation approach for all factors and subfactors is as follows:

Technical Evaluation Method:

2. The Technical factor is divided into the following sub-factors and will be evaluated on an overall basis using the following color/adjectival ratings:

Table A – Combined Technical/Risk Rating Method (ref. DoD Source Selection Procedures Guide)

a. Subfactor a: Bonding Capacity

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s ability to provide documentation from a certified and approved Surety demonstrating that it currently has or can obtain $5 Million of payment and performance bonds per year specifically for this MATOC.

The minimum (threshold) amount of bonding required is $5M. Offerors who can demonstrate significantly greater than $5M of bonding capacity/ability may earn an evaluated strength which could increase the Technical Factor rating.

NOTE: Surety companies utilized for the proposal and contract must be listed on the U.S. Department of the Treasury website.

Reference https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/surety-bonds/list-certified-companies.html

b. Subfactor b: Safety

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s (to include major subcontractors and both JV partners, if a JV is proposed) record of safe operations based on its Experience Modification Rate (EMR) for the previous three (3) year operating period. NOTE: An EMR of greater than 1.0 during any portion of the previous three (3) year operating period will be considered unacceptable (a deficiency). A major subcontractor is defined as a subcontractor which is expected to perform 20% or more of the total work on the contract.

Offerors who can demonstrate EMRs of less than 1.0 during the previous three (3) operating period with an emphasis on the most recent operating years may earn evaluated strength(s) which could increase the Technical Factor rating.

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s (to include major subcontractors) recent record of safe and regulatory compliant operations based on its OSHA recordable injuries/illnesses reports for the previous three (3) years. NOTE: The offeror’s DART rate shall be at or below the industry average for NAICS code 236220 for the previous two years. A major subcontractor for this subfactor is defined as a subcontractor which is expected to perform 20% or more of the total work on the contract.

Offerors who are able to demonstrate lower than industry average DART rating may earn evaluated strength(s) which could increase the Technical Factor rating.

Subfactor c: Selected Key Personnel (Reference PWS paragraph 1.6.11 and subparagraphs)

3. Past Performance Factor.

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the PWS and RFP. Past Performance factor considers each offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in providing services that meet the contract requirements. Recent past performance is considered to be efforts awarded during the past five (5) years, from the issue date of this RFP.

Relevant efforts are defined as services that are the same as or similar services as compared to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). Work may include new work, additions, alterations, maintenance and repairs performed for commercial or Governmental clients. The size, scale, and type of work of the projects provided will also be considered when determining relevancy.

A relevancy determination of the offeror’s (including joint venture partner(s), major and critical subcontractor(s) past performance) will be made by the Government. In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated.

An assessment of the information will be made to determine if it is recent. Offerors shall supply a list (maximum of 20) task orders or contracts that contain a relevant renovation or construction component with a value of at least $50,000.00 and the type of work specified in the scope of work must be ongoing or must have been performed during the last five (5) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Offerors must include at least 5 task order or contracts valued at greater than $250K, and at least two additional task orders or contracts valued at greater than $1M. This information must include those contracts used for the Past Performance Questionnaires required below. Numerous Task Orders (TO) combined to meet the minimum construction dollar value identified herein is not acceptable for Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contracts.

Evaluation of past performance shall be in accordance with this plan utilizing the forms and questionnaires set forth in Attachment 2. The Government may consider a wide array of information from a variety of sources, but is not compelled to rely on all the information available.

The Government may use data provided by the offeror in its proposal and data obtained from other sources, including data in Government files (i.e., CPARs) or data obtained through interviews with personnel familiar with the contractor and their current and past performance. Data used in conducting past performance assessments shall not extend past five years prior to the issue date of the RFP, but may include performance data as a prime. The Government reserves the right to limit the number of references it decides to contact and to contact references other than those provided by the Offeror including sources outside the Government.

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s proposal against the above requirements to determine the offeror’s appropriate rating for the Past Performance factor, using the ratings and descriptions outlined in the Table below.

4. Price Factor. Offeror pricing will be evaluated per FAR 15.404. Examples of methods that may be used include a comparison to the other competitive pricing received in response to the solicitation, comparison to previous prices paid, and a comparison to the IGCE pricing. For evaluation purposes, Offeror’s pricing will be evaluated based on the total amount proposed for CLIN 1001, 1004, 2001, 3001, 4001, and 5001. Pricing must be balanced between years and CLINs, and the pricing for the Seed Project Task Order proposed in CLIN 1004 must be reasonable.

NOTE: After award, task orders will be issued on a competitive basis. The Government will establish the contract total ("ceiling") in the amount of $99.5M.

Therefore, offerors are reminded that they must, at a minimum, include the most recent and relevant efforts (performance within the past five (5) years) in their proposal. Absent any recent and relevant past performance history or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. In some circumstances Past Performance may receive a neutral rating. Therefore, when a neutral rating is assigned, it shall be assumed that the offeror will perform in an acceptable manner.

(ii) VOLUME III – Price. Offerors shall provide a fully executed Standard Form 1442, including the coefficient rate multiplied by the total dollar amount for each of Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN) 1001, 2001, 3001, 4001, and 5001. Offerors shall propose a coefficient rate for each of the base year and 4 option periods. Offerors may elect to have different rates for each year. However, once the contract is awarded, the proposed coefficient rates become capped during each contract ordering period.

Offerors shall also propose a firm fixed price amount for the Seed Project Task Order which will be issued shortly after award of the base contracts. Refer to the Seed Project Task Order which is included in the solicitation.

This solicitation directs the contractor to utilize the Baltimore City Cost Index of RSMeans Cost Works using the RSMeans Facilities Construction Cost Data, a nation-wide cost estimating source. Cost Works estimates already have profit and overhead contained in the unit prices, known as burdened prices. Contractors have to decide whether the burdened unit prices sufficiently cover all of the contractor’s indirect costs. If in the view of the contractor, the burdened unit prices do not sufficiently cover all of the firm’s indirect costs associated with such things as office space and storage, then the contractor shall adjust the proposed coefficient rate. The coefficient is an adjustment used to decrease, increase or maintain the total cost of the estimate that Cost Works creates. To maintain the estimate without change, the contractor would propose a coefficient of 1.0. If the contractor desires to increase the estimate by 10%, the contractor would propose a coefficient of 1.10; to decrease the estimate by 10%, the contractor would propose a coefficient of 0.90 The coefficient proposed shall include the following: Contractor’s overhead and profit; Subcontractors’ overhead and profit; Insurance, Employee payroll taxes, insurance, and fringe benefits; Business taxes, contributions, memberships, corporate headquarters support (legal, financial, etc.); Sales tax on material and equipment costs; Clean up; Mobilization and close out for the total contract and each task order; Compliance with environmental laws (overhead [indirect] costs associated with performing work in compliance with EPA/OSHA regulations, including obtaining any necessary licenses and permits, reporting requirements, etc.); Project management and supervision; Quality control; Office management and equipment; Depreciation of mobile office(s); Interest associated with funding of equipment and payroll; Submittal preparation; As built drawings; Permits, licenses, and fees; Other risks of doing business (i.e. risk of a lower than expected contract dollar value, risk of poor subcontractor performance)

NOTE: The Government will establish the MATOC contract total ("ceiling") in the amount of $99.5M.

NOTE: ACC-APG understands that some SBA District offices will not approve new JVs until proposals are submitted and the contracting agency submits a written request for JV review and approval and an eligibility determination. For newly proposed JVs where this is the case with the offeror’s SBA office, SBA JV approval is not required prior to proposal submittal. However, the Government reserves the right to make initial MATOC awards to other offerors while awaiting the SBA’s decision. Once approved, a successful JV offeror selected for the MATOC will be awarded a contract and may begin competing on task orders. The Period of Performance of the contract (e.g. end of base year PoP) will not be extended for any offerors whose entry onto the MATOC was delayed pending SBA action.

Teaming Offerors: If the offer is based on a teaming/partnering relationship, the offeror shall provide all required solicitation information for all parties including a copy of the teaming/partnership agreement. The agreement shall include information, which identifies the responsibilities for each entity under this contract.
