| In | accordance | with | Federal | Acquisition | Regulation | (FAR) | Part | 15, | award | of | a | contract | shall | be | made | to | the | ||
| responsible | offeror | whose | overall | proposal | is | determined | to | be | the | most | advantageous | to | the | Government. | |||||
| Pricing | shall | be | evaluated | for | completeness | and | reasonableness. | Non‐pricing | features | of | each | proposal | shall | ||||||
| be | evaluated | against | the | solicitation | requirements, | assessing | their | strengths | and | significant | strengths, | ||||||||
| weaknesses | and | significant | weakness, | as | well | as | associated | risks | and | deficiencies | of | each | proposal | in | light | of | |||
| the | non‐pricing | evaluation | criteria | that | is | also | described | herein. | Non‐pricing | features | of | an | offeror’s | proposal | |||||
| shall | be | evaluated | in | such | a | manner | as | to | assess | the | value | of | those | features | as | compared | to | the | proposed |
| prices | or | costs | to | the | Government. | Implicit | in | this | process | is | the | Government’s | willingness | to | accept | other | |||
| than | the | lowest | priced | offer | if | the | added | benefits | of | a | higher | priced | offer | outweigh | the | additional | cost | or | price |
| involved. | Non‐price | factors, | when | combined, | are | significantly | more | important | than | price. | |||||||||
| Magnitude | of | Construction: | The | estimated | cost | of | this | project | is | over | $10 | million. |
The Primary NAICS code is 236220 with a small business size of $36.5 million.

| The | Government | will | not | reimburse | any | costs | incurred | or | associated | with | preparation | and | submission | of | any | |||
| responses | to | this | solicitation. | Oral | explanations | or | instructions | to | offerors | are | not | binding. | Any | information | ||||
| given | to | an | offeror | which | impacts | the | solicitation | and/or | offer | will | be | given | in | the | form | of | a | written |
| amendment | to | the | solicitation. | Any | and | all | amendments | to | the | solicitation | will | be | issued | electronically | via | |||

| Offerors | should | not | modify | the | terms | and | conditions | of | the | solicitation | in | either | the | technical | or | price | |
| proposal | or | add | conditions | or | qualifications | to | their | offers. | Should | an | offeror | include | terms | and | conditions | ||
| that | conflict | with | the | terms | and | conditions | of | the | solicitation, | that | offeror | may | be | determined | to | be | ineligible |
| for | award. | Any | questions | related | to | specific | terms | and | conditions | contained | within | the | solicitation | should | be | ||
| resolved | prior | to | submission | of | an | offer. | Notwithstanding | the | above, | the | offeror | must | clearly | describe | in | its | |
| price | proposal | any | modifications | to | the | contractual | and/or | technical | terms | and | conditions | of | the | solicitation | |||
| contained | in | its | offer. |
| References | to | “confidential” | projects | cannot | be | submitted | to | demonstrate | capability | unless | all | of | the | ||||
| information | required | for | evaluation | as | specified | herein | can | be | provided | to | the | Government | as | part | of | the | |
| offeror’s | technical | proposal. | Offerors | that | include | information | in | their | proposals | that | they | do | not | want | |||

| for | submission | of | proposals, | may | result | in | the | offeror’s | proposal | being | disqualified | from | consideration | for | |||
| award, | or | a | deficiency | or | weakness | being | assessed | for | the | factor. | The | Government | may | elect | to | initiate | |
| discussions | with | some | or | all | of | the | offerors, | thereby | providing | a | means | by | which | appropriate | corrections | by | |

E. BASIS OF AWARD
| Subject | to | the | provisions | contained | herein, | award | will | be | made | to | one | (1) | offeror | who | is | deemed | responsible |
| in | accordance | with | the | FAR. | In | determining | the | most | highly | qualified | offeror, | the | Government | will | evaluate | ||
| proposals | to | determine | the | offeror | who | is | responsible | in | accordance | with | FAR | Subpart | 9.1; | who | is | responsive |
| to | the | solicitation | requirements; | and | whose | proposal, | judged | by | an | overall | assessment | of | the | evaluation | ||
| criteria | and | other | considerations | specified | in | this | solicitation, | meets | the | technical | standards | for | price | and | ||
| non‐price | factors | the | best | value | and | is | determined | overall | to | be | the | most | advantageous | to | the | Government, |

| The | technical | evaluation | team, | using | reasoned | judgment, | shall | evaluate | the | experience | and | technical | factors | ||
| by | identifying | significant | strengths, | strengths, | significant | weakness, | weaknesses | and | deficiencies | in | each | ||||
| offeror’s | proposal | and | assigning | a | combined | technical/risk | rating | as | follows: | outstanding | with | very | low | risk, | |
| good | with | low | risk, | acceptable | with | moderate | risk, | marginal | with | high | risk, | or | unacceptable | encompassing | a |
| proposal | that | is | not | awardable. |
| A | strength | in | the | proposal | is | defined | as: | an | aspect | of | an | offeror's | proposal | that | has | merit | or | exceeds | specified |
| performance | or | capability | requirements | in | a | way | that | will | be | advantageous | to | the | Government | during | |||||
| contract | performance. |
| A | significant | strength | in | the | proposal | is: | an | aspect | of | an | offeror's | proposal | that | has | appreciable | merit | or |
| exceeds | specified | performance | or | capability | requirements | in | a | way | that | will | be | advantageous | to | the | |||
| Government | during | contract | performance. |
| A | weakness | in | the | proposal | is | defined | as: | a | flaw | in | the | proposal | that | increases | the | risk | of | unsuccessful |

| There | may | be | contained | within | the | evaluation | factors | certain | 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 | an | offer | is | |
| unacceptable. | A | final | determination | that | an | offer | is | unacceptable | means | that | an | award | to | the | offeror | involved | |
| cannot | be | made. |
| The | Government | intends | to | award | a | contract | 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 | initial | proposal | |
| should | contain | the | offeror’s | best | terms | from | a | technical | and | pricing | standpoint. | The | Government | reserves | the | |||
| right | to | conduct | discussions | if | it | is | determined | by | the | contracting | officer | to | be | necessary | or | if | requested | by |
| the | source | selection | authority | (SSA). |

| minimum, | the | following: |
__Pre‐construction submittals __Mobilization
| __Permit | activities, | to | include | site/base | access |
| __Design | submittal | for | approval | ||
| __Procurement | of | long | lead | items | |
| __Start | of | construction | |||
| __Site | preparation | ||||
| __Construction | phasing | of | each | facility/site | |
| __Construction | completion | ||||
| __Identify | any | proposed | phased | turnovers |
__Demobilization
| The | schedule | shall | clearly | define | start | and | end | dates | of | events | and | any | float | time. | A | narrative | description | |
| (limited | to | 10 | pages) | of | each | major | activity | milestones | shall | be | included | with | the | project | schedule. | Cost | ||
| loading | of | activities | is | not | to | be | shown | in | this | schedule. | The | successful | offeror’s | preliminary | project | schedule | ||
| may | be | incorporated | into | the | resultant | contract | at | the | discretion | of | the | contracting | officer. | The | Government | |||
| will | not | review | any | information | provided | after | the | 10th | page. | |||||||||
| The | Offeror | may | demonstrate | a | further | understanding | of | the | project | requirements | by | including | additional | |||||
| activities | and | milestones | not | listed | above. |
| The | Offeror | should | format | its | proposed | schedule | as | a | time | scaled | network | diagram | Critical | Path | Method |
| (CPM) | Schedule, | in | accordance | with | specification | 01 | 32 | 17.00 | 20 | NETWORK | ANALYSIS | SCHEDULES. |
| The | offeror | should | include | with | its | proposed | preliminary | schedule | an | accompanying | schedule | narrative | that | ||||||
| demonstrate | s | the | Offeror’s | understanding | of | the | solicitation | requirements. | In | its | schedule | narrative, | the | ||||||
| Offeror | should | explain | the | work | milestone | and | in | which | the | Offeror | identifies | and | addresses | constrains. | The | ||||
| Schedule | narrative | should | demonstrate | the | Offeror’s | understanding | of | the | solicitation | requirements. | The | ||||||||
| Offeror’s | narrative | should | also | include, | but | not | be | limited | to | an | explanation | of | (a) | the | Offeror’s | plans | to | ||
| procure | its | construction | material | along | with | key | long | lead | procurement | items; | (b) | constraints | on | the | |||||
| schedule | presented | (such | as | if | the | Offeror | plans | to | utilize | multiple | crews, | or | more | than | one | shift, | or | work | an |
| extended | workweek | to | meet | the | required | construction | completion | date, | weather, | material | availability, | etc.); | |||||||
| and | (c) | the | integration | of | local | labor | and | subcontractor | firms. | The | schedule | should | be | at | a | minimum | in | ||
| compliance | with | the | stated | Period | of | Performance. | Offeror | may | submit | a | schedule | that | has | a | reduced | period | |||
| of | performance | than | stated | in | the | solicitation. | This | reduce | period | of | performance | maybe | provide | Offeror | a | ||||
| higher | adjectival | rating | if | deemed | in | conformance | with | the | solicitation | requirements. | The | successful | offeror’s | ||||||
| preliminary | project | schedule | showing | a | reduced | period | of | performance | shall | be | incorporated | into | the | ||||||
| resultant | contract. |
| Resource | loading | of | activities | is | not | permitted. | After | contract | award, | the | awardee | shall | submit | a | Baseline |
| Schedule | in | accordance | with | Specifications | 01 | 32 | 17.00 | 20 | NETWORK | ANALYSIS | SCHEDULES. | ||||
| Proposal | Evaluation | Procedures: |
| The | Government | will | evaluate | the | Offeror’s | preliminary | project | schedule | and | narrative | for | how | well | the | ||||
| Offeror | satisfies | the | RFP | requirements | with | regard | to | proposed | activities. | The | evaluation | will | also | consider | ||||
| how | well | the | Offeror | addresses | constraints | on | the | performance | of | the | work. | The | Government | will | evaluate | |||
| the | Offeror’s | proposed | preliminary | project | schedule | to | determine | the | extent | to | which | the | Offeror | satisfies | the | |||
| contract | duration | requirements | as | set | forth | in | the | RFP, | and | will | consider | the | Offeror’s | proposed | activity | |||
| durations, | and | logic | sequence | of | the | activities. | The | Government | will | also | evaluate | the | offerors | proposal | to | |||
| determine | the | extent | to | which | construction | phasing | and | logic | demonstrate | understanding | of | the | project | |||||
| requirements. | The | Government | will | consider | the | extent | to | which | the | proposed | preliminary | project | schedule | |||||
| is | realistic | and | obtainable. | The | Government | will | also | evaluate | the | extent | to | which | the | critical | path | is | clearly |
identified.
| Greater | weight | will | be | given | to | Offerors | whose | schedules | provide | detail | beyond | identifying | and | including | the |
| major | construction | milestones | and | project | elements, | in | the | pre‐NTP | and | contraction. | Examples | of | additional | ||
| detail | include | identifying | procurement | activities, | interim | milestones; | major | and | secondary | features | of | work, |
etc.
