If the page limit is exceeded, the pages in excess of the limit will be removed from the applicable volume or tab and will not be considered as part of the evaluation. Data submitted prior to the proposal submission due date will not be considered in the Government’s evaluation; therefore such data shall not be relied upon or incorporated in the proposal by reference.

Page limitations are as provided in the table below:

Volume Title Printed Copies Electronic Copies Maximum Pages

I Technical None 1

Specialized Experience None 1 40

II Past Performance None 1 30

III Price (Coefficient) None 1 No Limit

2.6.4 Any information that is changed as a result of negotiations or proposal revisions shall be clearly marked as a revision and dated.

2.6.5 All information shall be confined to the appropriate volume. The Offeror shall confine submissions to essential matters, sufficient to define the proposal in a concise manner and to permit a complete and accurate evaluation.

3. BASIS OF AWARD

It is intended that this RFP will result in a Firm-Fixed-Price contract. The Contracting Officer will award this contract to that responsible Offeror whose proposal conforms with all the terms and conditions of the solicitation and the proposal is determined to represent the best overall value to the Government, considering non-price factors described herein, and the coefficient. All evaluation factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price (coefficient). After the Government individually evaluates and rates each proposal, the Contracting Officer/Source Selection Authority will compare proposals to determine which proposal represents the best value. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or reject all offers. The Government will not award a contract to an Offeror whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001.

4.2 Evaluation Rating Definitions

4.2.1 The Source Selection Authority (SSA) will ensure the evaluation of all Factors has been conducted in accordance with the solicitation and all applicable acquisition laws and regulations.

4.2.2 Technical Factor 1 will be adjectivally evaluated using the combined technical/risk rating in the below table.

Combined Technical/Risk Rating

Color Rating Adjectival Rating Description Blue Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Purple Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Green Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Yellow Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable.

Proposal is unawardable.

4.2.3 Risk ratings for Technical Factor 1 will use the descriptions in the following table.

Technical Risk Rating

Adjectival Rating Description Low Proposal may contain weakness(es) which have little potential to cause disruption of schedule and degradation of performance. Normal contractor effort and normal Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties.

Moderate Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which may potentially cause disruption of schedule and degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome difficulties.

High Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which is likely to cause significant disruption of schedule and degradation of performance. Is unlikely to overcome any difficulties, even with special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring.

Unacceptable Proposal contains a material failure or a combination of significant weaknesses that increases the risk of unsuccessful performance to an unacceptable level.

4.2.5 The overarching evaluation approach for all factors is as follows:

Adequacy of Response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the Offeror’s methods and approach have adequately and completely considered, defined and satisfied the requirements specified in the solicitation. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which each requirement has been addressed in the proposal in accordance with the proposal submission requirements of the solicitation.

Feasibility of Approach. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the proposed approach is workable and the end results achievable. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which successful performance is contingent upon proven practices/processes and techniques. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the Offeror is expected to be able to successfully complete the proposed tasks and technical requirements within the required schedule.

4.2.6 The Government will evaluate the proposals and rate the quality of each technical evaluation factor. The SSEB will rate each proposal against the specified evaluation criteria in the solicitation requirements. Proposals will not be compared at this time. After all proposals are rated, the Government’s Source Selection Authority will compare the ratings and relative advantages and disadvantages of proposals against one another in order to determine which Offerors are the most highly qualified.

4.2.7 Rating Definition for Volume II - Past Performance.

4.2.7.1 Recency. The Government will first evaluate the recency of the Offeror’s past performance.

4.2.7.2 Relevance. The Government will next rate the relevancy of recent projects submitted under Factor 1, Specialized Experience in accordance with the definitions in the below table.

The relevancy rating is not a separate proposal rating but is only used in developing overall past performance confidence assessment rating.

Past Performance Relevancy Rating

Adjectival Rating Description Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

4.2.7.3 The Government will next consider how well the Offeror performed on the submitted projects. The Government will consider the recency and relevancy of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor performance. With respect to relevancy, past performance on projects with more relevance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment rating than past performance on projects of lesser relevance.

4.2.7.4 The Government will target areas covered in the requirement of this solicitation including quality, schedule, cost control, problem resolution for design or construction errors, warranty work and safety. The Government will place a higher value on projects, which document successful outcomes and are supported by outside source confirmation, for example, information found in the Contractor Performance Appraisal Reporting System (CPARS) or other agency performance databases, or personal knowledge. The Government also places a higher value on projects, which provided particularly difficult or unique challenges and the innovative methods the contractor used to resolve problems successfully.

4.2.7.5 The rating for Volume II - Past Performance will be expressed as a degree of confidence in the Offeror’s ability to successfully perform the contract. The rating system used for the performance confidence assessment is provided in the below table.

Performance Confidence Assessments Rating

Adjectival Rating Description Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

4.3 Volume III – Price (Coefficient) will be evaluated by the Cost/Price Evaluation Team.

Proposals will be evaluated using price analysis techniques and will be evaluated for price fair and reasonableness. Price will not be rated or scored.
