BASIS FOR AWARD: All proposals will be evaluated using the criteria outlined in the solicitation and offerors’ proposals will be determined to be overall “Acceptable” or

“Unacceptable.” In order to be considered awardable, there must be an “Acceptable” rating in every non-price factor.

Those proposals found to be acceptable will then be ranked by price (base and all option periods considered). In accordance with FAR 15.101-2, award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price (base and all option periods considered) of proposals satisfying the requirements of the technical evaluation factors set forth in the solicitation.

The Government intends to award a contract without discussions based on initial proposals received; therefore, the proposals shall contain the offeror’s best terms from a technical and cost point. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions in accordance with FAR 52.215-1. The Government reserves the right to address any pertinent issues in the proposals.

PROPOSAL EVALUATION

a. Receipt and Preparation of Proposals: Upon receipt of proposals, the Contract Specialist, in consultation with the PCO, will screen all proposals to ensure that each offer is properly completed, executed and submitted in accordance with the solicitation requirements. The PCO may remove any offeror from further consideration during any phase of the procurement if the offeror fails to meet the submittal requirements of the solicitation or to reduce the competitive range for purposes of efficiency pursuant to FAR 15.306(c)(2). Any such removal decision will be fully documented as to the reason and the offeror will be promptly notified.

b. Individual Technical Evaluations: Each proposal will be individually review to determine if the offeror met the objective standard for each evaluation factor. If the offeror meets or exceeds the standard, the offeror will receive an “Acceptable”. If the offeror fails to meet the objective standard, the offeror will receive an “Unacceptable”.

c. Price Evaluations: The price proposal corresponding to each “Acceptable” technical proposal will be analyzed, in accordance with FAR 15.404-1. The price proposal corresponding to each “Unacceptable” technical proposal will not be evaluated.

The “Acceptable” technical proposal will be placed in order of price and then it will be determined whether the price is fair and reasonable based on comparison to the other competitive offers received for the same action, or previously proposed prices for same or similar items.

A fair and reasonable price determination is expected to be based on adequate price competition, comparison with the Independent Government Estimate (IGE), or previously proposed prices for same or similar items. However, if a determination of fair and reasonable price requires additional information, the PCO may conduct a cost analysis to support the determination of whether the proposed price is fair and reasonable.

FACTOR 1 – EXPERIENCE

Offerors will be evaluated on their experience. To receive an “Acceptable” rating for this Factor, an offeror must provide evidence of at least three (3) and no more than five (5) relevant projects completed within the last five (5) years of the date of proposal submission. For a project to be considered completed all work must be concluded and final payment made. For this acquisition, to be considered relevant, a project must include:

a. Commercial building renovations (some examples are, replacement and repair of building components such as roofs, windows, interior walls, and interior finishes) and/or

b. Building electrical and mechanical system repair and replacement (some examples are HVAC systems, electrical, water and sewage systems) and

c. Have a minimum value of $150,000.00.

Offerors may identify state and local government and private contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements. The offeror shall identify the extent and type of work that was subcontracted out for each project submitted. An IDIQ contract may be submitted only if a single task order could be considered similar to this project or a similar project as defined above. Task orders may not be combined in order for the contract to be considered similar to this project.

For the offeror, recent and relevant experience may be satisfied through conforming experience through the Prime having worked previously with a proposed primary subcontractor.

If the offeror elects to submit relevant experience of a proposed subcontractor, the offeror shall provide evidence that the offeror managed at least two projects with this subcontractor in the last five years and each project had a total value of at least $200,000.

Offerors shall include the following minimum descriptive information for each job submitted for evaluation:

1. Project title

2. Geographic location

3. Period of performance

4. Final U.S. dollar value of the project

5. Detailed description of the project requirements

6. Description of the offeror’s actual involvement in performance of the project

FACTOR 2 – PAST PERFORMANCE

Past performance pertains to how well an offeror has performed past projects that is an indicator of future performance. Past performance information is not the same as experience information. Experience pertains to what type of projects an offeror has performed. Past performance pertains to how well an offeror performs.

Offeror’s past performance will be evaluated on relevant projects completed in the last five

(5) years that are same/similar in nature to the project requirements solicited by the solicitation.

For this acquisition, to be considered similar, projects must include:

a. Commercial building renovations (some examples are replacement and repair of building components such as roofs, windows, interior walls, and interior finishes) and

b. Building electrical and mechanical system repair and replacement (some examples are HVAC systems, electrical, water and sewage systems) and

c. Have a minimum value of $150,000.00.

Offerors may identify state and local government and private contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements. An IDIQ contract may be submitted only if a single task order could be considered similar to this project. Task orders may not be combined in order for the contract to be considered similar to this project.

For the offeror, recent and relevant experience may be satisfied through conforming experience through the Prime having worked previously with a proposed primary subcontractor.

If the offeror elects to submit relevant experience of a proposed subcontractor, the offeror shall provide evidence that the offeror managed at least two projects with this subcontractor in the last five years and each project had a total value of at least $200,000.

Past performance will be evaluated to determine technical capability to perform the proposed contract and how well it satisfied its customers. To receive an “Acceptable” rating for this factor, an offeror’s performance record must demonstrate that there is a reasonable expectation the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Offerors shall submit with their proposals:

1. Completed Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) (See Appendix E) (PPQs are excluded for page count.) for the offeror and any proposed primary subcontractors.

Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other solicitations. This does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. The offeror shall identify the extent and type of work that was subcontracted out for each PPQ submitted. The type of project shall be clearly identified.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative (s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the offeror.

FACTOR 3 - PRICE PROPOSAL

The price proposal corresponding to each “Acceptable” technical proposal will be ranked in order of price and evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.404-1. Offerors shall submit the completed price schedule provided in the solicitation for the initial Task Order. The price for evaluation purposes will be the price proposed for the initial Task Order. A fair and reasonable price determination is expected to be based on adequate price competition or previously proposed prices for same or similar items. However, if a determination of fair and reasonable price requires additional information, the PCO may conduct a cost analysis to support the determination of whether the proposed price is fair and reasonable.

EVALUATION STANDARDS

Evaluation factors will be rated using the ratings and descriptions outlined below:

FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE

Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly indicates that the offeror has the minimum experience required by the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly indicate that the offeror has the minimum experience required by the solicitation.

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

Rating Description Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

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.”
