The total evaluated price will include the base and all optional items.

2. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Associations may be as joint ventures or as key team subcontractors. Any legally organized Offeror may submit a proposal.

In addition, a copy of the joint venture agreement shall be submitted with the proposal. Failure to comply with the foregoing requirements may eliminate the proposal from further consideration.

The SSEB will be established to conduct the evaluation of proposals received in response to this solicitation. The evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal and any subsequent discussions required, as well as information obtained from other sources, e.g. past performance information. The SSEB will not consider any information incorporated by reference, except as expressly allowed by this solicitation.

6.2. EVALUATION

6.2.1. The SSEB will evaluate the proposals and assign a consensus rating for each evaluation factor and subfactor.

6.2.2. The Government intends to award without discussions. Offerors are cautioned to put forth their best efforts, and to furnish all information clearly to allow the Government to evaluate proposals. Offerors should not assume that they will have an opportunity to clarify or correct anything in their proposal after submitting it.

6.2.3. A “Competitive Range” is a subjective determination of the most highly rated proposals in the event that the Government decides that discussions with Offerors are required or are considered to be in the Government’s best interests. In such an event, the Contracting Officer will establish a competitive range of all the most highly rated proposals.

6.2.4. If discussions are held, the Government may engage in a broad give and take with those Offerors in the competitive range, in accordance with FAR 15.306 (d).

6.3. EVALUATION RATING SYSTEM

Adjective Ratings: The following adjective ratings will be used in evaluation of both the major factors and the subfactors.

6.3.1. Unacceptable (U): The proposal fails to meet stated criteria and is not capable of becoming acceptable without major revisions.

6.3.2. Acceptable (A): The proposal essentially satisfies the standards; minor weaknesses¸ even if not corrected, do not render this proposal/factor unacceptable.

6.4. BASIS OF AWARD

The award shall be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for all non-cost factors. Proposals receiving an unacceptable rating in any of the evaluation factors or sub-factors will be excluded from consideration for award.
