EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation using the evaluation method “Lowest Price Technically Acceptable.” This method is appropriate when best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable offer with the lowest evaluated reasonable price. Offers will be evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non-price factors. Evaluation factors and significant sub factors that establish the requirements of acceptability are set forth below. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated reasonable price of proposals meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors (FAR 15.101-2). The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from price, technical and past performance. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. The Government reserves the right to waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received. If a minor clerical error has occurred, then the offeror may be given an opportunity to correct the minor error within the constraints of the "clarifications" process.

This solicitation is for a firm, fixed price construction contract. Award shall be made to the technically acceptable offer that provides the lowest reasonable price. The Government intends to award a contract to one offeror deemed responsible in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR 9.1).

Offerors are required to submit technical proposals addressing the Evaluation Factors and Sub-Factors identified.

The procurement is being conducted utilizing the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process in accordance with FAR 15.101-2. Proposal will be evaluated for acceptability, but not ranked, using the non-price evaluation factors. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated reasonable price of proposals meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors. There shall be no trade-offs. Offers evaluated as not Technically Acceptable will not be eligible for award, regardless of price.

The proposal must set forth full, accurate and complete information as required by the solicitation. The Government will rely on such information for the award of the contract. By submission of the offer, the Offeror agrees that all items proposed will be utilized for the duration of the contract and any substitutions will require prior Contracting Officer's approval.

The offeror shall be held responsible for the validity of all information supplied in the proposal, including the information provided by potential subcontractors. Should subsequent investigation disclose that the facts and conditions were not as stated, the proposal may be rejected.

To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein.

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors.

Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The response shall consist of two (2) separate parts; Part I –Technical Proposal - Part II - Price Proposal.

The Government’s technical evaluation team will evaluate the technical proposals on an acceptable or unacceptable basis, assigning one of the ratings described below for each subfactor. Any subfactor evaluated as “Unacceptable” will render the entire proposal unacceptable and, therefore, unawardable.

Only those proposals determined to be technically acceptable, at time of award, will be considered for award.

However, the offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.

This solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-price factors Factor 1: Technical – Evaluation of this factor will be based on the offeror's submission of a project schedule that demonstrates the offeror's understanding of the work requirement including estimated timeframes for ordering supplies and completing construction.

Sub-factor:

a. Experience – Previous experience will be evaluated as “Acceptable or Non-Acceptable”. To be acceptable, offerors must provide information demonstrating they have successfully performed as prime contractor within the last three (3) years* on at least one (1) construction project of equal or greater size and complexity and magnitude within the same or similar scope of work as identified in this solicitation. Past performance information shall be obtained by the Contract Specialist from any other sources available to the Government to include, but not limited to, PPIRS or other databases.

TABLE 1 - TECHNICAL RATINGS

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Rating Description

*The three (3) years shall be calculated from the solicitation issue date.

**Note** In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.” Aspects of Past Performance Evaluation: The past performance evaluation results are an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements.

This assessment is based on the offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertains to the requirements outlined in the solicitation.

Factor 2: Price –Prices will be evaluated for reasonableness through a comprehensive comparison of each proposal received. Reasonableness will be determined based on prices submitted by the competition, current market conditions, and comparison to the Government estimate. Prices will also be evaluated to determine if they are either excessive or insufficient for the effort to be accomplished, and for any unbalanced areas within the offeror's pricing proposal. A price that is too low or too high may endanger the proposal's opportunity for award of a contract.

Each proposal shall be evaluated to ensure that all information provided in the RFP has been addressed, is accurate and complete.
