F. BASIS OF PHASE I EVALUATION

1. Subject to the provisions contained herein, the most highly qualified offerors will be selected and requested to submit Phase II proposals. In determining the most highly qualified offerors, the Government will evaluate qualification proposals to determine which offers proposals that are responsive to the solicitation requirements best meet the Phase I criteria, whose qualification proposals are responsive to the solicitation requirements; and whose proposals, judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation criteria and other considerations specified in this solicitation, meet the technical standards for non-price factors. The Government intends to advance up to five (5) offerors to Phase II from which it anticipates awarding one Firm-Fixed Price contract. It may advance fewer than five (5) offerors and will exercise discretion in determining the number of offerors to be advance to Phase II, determining a reasonable cut-off between offerors advanced and offerors not advanced based on a tradeoff analysis, taking into account the Government’s interest in competition and its interests in awarding to a highly qualified contractor and in preventing wasteful effort on Phase II proposal preparation by contractors without realistic prospects of award.

2. The Technical Evaluation Team (TET), using reasoned judgement, shall evaluate qualification proposals by identifying significant strengths, strengths, significant weaknesses, weaknesses, uncertainties, and deficiencies in each offeror’s proposal and assigning a combined technical/risk rating to each proposal for each evaluation factor.

Definitions:

Significant Strength. An aspect of an offerors’ proposal that has appreciable merit or appreciably exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be appreciably advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Strength. An aspect of an offerors’ proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Weakness. A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001.

Significant Weakness. A flaw in the proposal that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001.

Deficiency. A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. See FAR 15.001.

Uncertainty. Any aspect of a non-cost/price factor proposal for which the intent of the offeror is unclear (e.g., more than one way to interpret the offer or inconsistencies in the proposal indicating that there may have been an error, omission or mistake).

A Risk as it pertains to source selection is the potential for unsuccessful contract performance. The consideration of a risk assesses the degree to which an offeror’s proposed approach to achieving the technical factor or subfactor may involve risk of disruption of schedule, degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and/or the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance.

There may be contained with the evaluation factors mandatory or minimum requirements to be met for evaluation.

There are also contained within the described factors certain documents for submission. Failure to satisfy any mandatory or minimum requirement may result in a determination that the proposal is unacceptable. A final determination that a proposal is unacceptable means that the offeror will not be selected as the most highly qualified offeror and the Government will not request that the offeror submit a Phase II proposal. This does not limit the Government’s discretion to exclude offerors without any “unacceptable” ratings from Phase II because they were not found to be the most highly qualified offerors.

The Government intends to select the most highly qualified offerors without discussions but reserves the right to hold discussions if the Government determines that to do so would be in its best interests. Therefore, an offeror’s proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is determined by the contracting officer to be necessary or requested by Source Selection Authority (SSA).

G. PHASE I EVALUATION FACTORS

All the submissions to be evaluated shall pertain to the offerors and its major subcontractors.

Subcontractors: The Government recognizes that completion of a project is often a team effort. An offeror that intends to utilize one or more major subcontractor(s) shall submit a firm, unequivocal letter of commitment signed by each major subcontractor. A major subcontractor is defined as a subcontractor that performs twenty percent (20%) or more of the total on-site management and construction effort or one that performs twenty percent (20%) or more of the total dollar value of the project. Offerors that propose to use a designer of record (DOR) are also required to submit firm, unequivocal letters of commitment signed by their DORs. The Government will not consider in relation to the requirement of this solicitation the qualifications of, or other proposal information pertaining to, subcontractors or DORs for which acceptable letters of commitment have not been provided.

If an offeror’s accepted proposal includes the use of any major subcontractors or DORs, the offeror shall not change major subcontractors or DORs without the contracting offices approval. For this purpose, and for this purpose only, the Phase I proposal of offerors advanced to Phase II are deemed accepted only to the extent those Phase I proposals incorporated the use of major subcontractors or DORs in their response to the Phase I selection factors. Thus, if an offeror advanced to Phase II changes a major subcontractor or DOR submitted at Phase I, and the proposed substitute major subcontractor or DOR does not have the qualifications equal to or better than those of the major subcontractor or DOR from Phase I that is proposed to replace, in the judgement of the contracting officer with respect to the Phase I evaluation factors, the Government may, in its discretion, reject the offeror’s proposal with or without considering the proposal at all with respect to Phase II evaluation factors. After award, the offeror shall not change major subcontractors or DORs without the contracting officer’s approval. Approval will not be given unless the contracting officer considers the proposed substitute to be equal to or better than the originally proposed major subcontractor or DOR in all respects and that the substitution is in the best interests of the Government.

Joint Ventures: A joint venture is defined as a legal business entity formed between two or more companies to undertake the performance activities of a contract together.

An offeror proposing as a joint venture shall provide evidence that the joint venture as a legal entity has been duly formed. A joint venture offeror shall include a copy of its legal joint venture agreement signed by an authorized representative who can bind the entity of each coventurer, with the authorized representative of each entity identified. A prospective offeror that submits a proposal as a Joint Venture may not change either/any coventurer, if selected for award.

EVALUATION FACTORS

Factor 1: Construction Experience

Factor 2: Base Access Narrative

Base Access Narrative, Factor 2, is a Go/No-Go factor and, thus will have a rating of either Go or No-Go. This factor evaluates the extent of an Offerors’ understanding, approach, and plan for obtaining all required documents;

to include but not limited to insurances, licenses, clearances, etc., to gain access to and be able to perform work in the Erbil Air Base.

To receive consideration for Phase II, an offeror must have adjectival ratings of no less than “Acceptable” for Factor 1 and a “Go” rating for Factor 2.

FACTOR 1: CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND EVALUATION PROCEDURES

The Construction Experience portion of an offeror’s proposal will be limited to fifteen (15) pages in length.

Any pages beyond fifteen (15) will not be evaluated and will be ignored.

Each offeror’s experience will be examined for breadth and depth of relevant work performed in design build and construction projects (preferably $2 million - $10 million in value) in Afghanistan, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, (UAE), Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Iraq or Yemen as stated in this solicitation.
