II. FACTORS FOR EVALUATION

Volume I – Technical Proposal

A. Experience B. Past performance C. Understanding of the Requirement

TAB A - EXPERIENCE

A) Relevant experience shall be submitted by describing the following: project name, location, owner’s name and phone number, work performed by offeror, contract amount, performance period dates, safety record, key subcontractors and their roles, and explain any performance issues.

B) OFFEROR (PRIME CONTRACTOR): Provide examples of projects (government or commercial at least 75% complete) for the past ten (10) years. Provide projects accomplished by prime only, subcontractor team member, or where prime and subcontractor worked together as a team; which are similar in size, complexity, scope, and magnitude. The projects should conclusively demonstrate the offeror’s ability to complete the work required under this RFP. In the case of joint ventures, past projects from any of the signatory firms are acceptable. For joint ventures, the offeror’s portion of participation in the past project(s) must be clearly identified.

C) The Government defines experience as learning by doing. The Government will evaluate the recency, relevance, depth, and breadth of an offeror’s experience, to include any joint ventures and subcontractors, on the basis of the offeror’s experience or subcontractor team members or where prime and subcontractor worked together as a team on projects that are similar in size, nature, scope, remoteness, and complexity to the work that will be required under the contract for which offers are solicited by this request for proposal.

D) Relevant experience will be ranked according the following criteria in descending order of importance:

1. Projects that included excavation between 300,000 CYs and 1,000,000 CYs of material.

2. Projects completed under difficult conditions including remote locations, limited site access (ie. no road access), required upland disposal of excavated material, and excavation in areas of shallow groundwater.

3. Projects (government or commercial at least 75% complete) for the past ten (10) years.

Recent projects (last 5 years) will be ranked more favorably than older projects.

TAB B – PAST PERFORMANCE

A) During the past performance evaluations, the Government reserves the right to look outside of the proposal for past performance information on the Offeror. The Government will consider information submitted by the Offeror, as well as any other relevant and reliable information obtained from any other source, including information from Government personnel and databases.

The government intends to use obtain past performance results from the CCASS/CPARS database.

TAB C – UNDERSTANDING OF REQUIREMENT

The offeror should prepare their proposal based on information provided in the solicitation documents, knowledge of the project area and/or similar past projects worked on. The proposal will be evaluated by comparing it to the specifications and the offeror's presented approach and methods described below in an Excavation/Dredging Plan.

Excavation/Dredging Plan. Submit an Excavation/Dredging Plan that describes the equipment to be used, method of construction, manpower required, subcontracting, and material sources to construct the revetment. - Offerors should pay particular attention to the following criteria in submitting their plan:

1. Execution strategy for the project.

2. Temporary construction features for excavation, transportation, and disposal of excavated material.

3. Dewatering procedures

4. Survey methods, verification of slopes, lines and grade.

5. Compliance with environmental requirements.

6. Revegetation of the disposal areas.

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s proposed plan to determine if the plan is consistent with the requirements in this RFP and on the suitability and reasonableness of the equipment and procedures described.

VOLUME II – PRO FORMA REQUIREMENTS AND PRICE PROPOSAL

The offeror shall submit in Volume II the price information described below to be evaluated. Volume II will not be point scored but will be subjectively evaluated to determine the reasonableness, affordability, and value of the price data. The following information shall be provided in the price proposal:

A. Standard Form 1442 signed by the Offeror with amendments acknowledged.

B. Proposal Schedule/Price Information. The price information supporting the Technical Proposal shall be in the form of the proposal schedule contained in the front of this solicitation. Include Corporate Certificate

C. Completed Section 00600, Representations and Certifications

D. Pre-award Survey/Bank Reference

E. Letter from their bonding company indicating the offerors ability to obtain performance and payment bonds in the amount of their proposal price.

F. Subcontracting Plan and Small Business Participation.

Note: This does not apply to Small Business Concerns. Offerors other than Small Businesses shall submit a subcontracting plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan (Oct 2000), Section 00700. The Government will evaluate the proposed subcontracting plan separately in accordance with Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS) Appendix DD. This subcontracting plan shall separately addresses subcontracting with small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns. If the offeror is submitting an individual contract plan, the plan must separately address subcontracting with small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns, with a separate part for the basic contract and separate parts for each option (if any). The plan shall be included in and made a part of the resultant contract. The subcontracting plan shall be negotiated within the time specified by the Contracting Officer. Failure to submit and negotiate a subcontracting plan shall make the offeror ineligible for award of a contract.

RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF INDIVIDUAL EVALUATION FACTORS

Volume One (non-price)

The Government considers the non-price factors of Experience, Past Performance, and Understanding of Requirements to be of approximately equal importance.

Volume Two (price and pre-award requirements)

PRICE

The Government will perform a price analysis and evaluate each proposed price by comparing it against other proposed prices, the average of the offerors, the Government estimate. The government will also evaluate each line item as priced to ensure no individual item is priced unrealistically high or low.
