Evaluation Factors for Award

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified from:

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA): The Government will award a single, Firm-Fixed-Price contract resulting from this Request for Quotation (RFQ) to the responsible Offeror whose quote is technically acceptable, meets all administrative compliance requirements of the solicitation, and represents the lowest evaluated price.

3.

Award Without Discussions: The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without conducting discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror's initial quotation must contain the best terms from both a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions or clarifications if the Contracting Officer determines them to be in the best interest of the Government.

Evaluation Process: The Government will evaluate quotes using a staged process:

Stage 1: Administrative Compliance Gate Check (Complete and Accurate / Incomplete) Stage 2: Factor 1 (Technical Capability) Evaluation (Acceptable / Unacceptable) Stage 3: Factor 2 (Past Performance) Evaluation (Acceptable / Unacceptable or Neutral) Stage 4: Factor 3 (Price) Evaluation (Lowest Evaluated Price)

B. EVALUATION FACTORS

STAGE 1: ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLIANCE GATE CHECK (COMPLETE AND ACCURATE /

INCOMPLETE)

Prior to technical and financial evaluations, the Government will conduct an initial Compliance Gate check of all quotes received.

Complete and Accurate: The quote contains all four (4) required volumes, uses the correct formats (Searchable PDF for narratives; MS Excel for pricing), and includes a signed, dated, and fully completed SF-1449 with Blocks 17a, 19-24, 30a, 30b, and 30c completed without exceptions or pricing discrepancies. Additionally, the Offeror is actively certified by the SBA as a HUBZone Small Business concern at the time of quote submission.

Incomplete: The quote is missing required volumes, uses incorrect formats, contains discrepancies between the Excel pricing and the SF-1449 pricing, is submitted in Microsoft Word, or the Offeror is not actively SBA-certified as a HUBZone concern.

Quotes receiving an "Incomplete" rating at this gate will immediately not be considered for award and will not proceed further in the evaluation process.

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY (ACCEPTABLE / UNACCEPTABLE)

The Technical Capability factor will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. To receive a rating of "Acceptable" overall, the quote must receive an "Acceptable" rating in both Subfactors. Failure to meet any individual requirement within a subfactor will result in an overall "Unacceptable" rating for the Technical Capability factor.

Subfactor 1a: Staffing and Transition Plan

The Government will evaluate the Offeror's Staffing and Transition Plan based on the following:

Staffing Adequacy: The narrative clearly demonstrates that the proposed staffing levels, on-site personnel roles, and organizational structure are sufficient to execute pressure washing operations across all Fort Bragg installations.

Service Contract Labor Standards (SCLS) Alignment: The unpriced staffing matrix clearly depicts appropriate labor categories, Wage Determination Category Numbers, and productive hours.

Key Personnel Qualifications: The resumes for the Project Manager (PM) and Quality Control Manager (QCM) meet or exceed the mandatory qualifications:

Project Manager (PM): High school diploma, three (3) years of building maintenance/pressure washing experience, valid driver's license, and English language proficiency.

Quality Control Manager (QCM): One (1) year of building maintenance quality control experience.

Limitations on Subcontracting: The staffing plan explicitly demonstrates compliance with FAR Clause , confirming that the prime SBA-certified HUBZone contractor (or similarly situated 52.219-14

HUBZone entities) will perform at least 50% of the cost of contract performance for personnel.

Subfactor 1b: Pressure Washing Service Execution Plan

The Government will evaluate the Offeror's Pressure Washing Service Execution Plan based on the following:

Three-Story Height Capability: The Offeror provides clear evidence of equipment capacity and readiness (e.g., boom/scissor lifts, safety harness protocols, high-reach extension wands) to perform pressure washing services on facilities up to .at least three (3) stories high Substrate Protection Protocols: The Government will evaluate whether the Offeror's technical narrative demonstrates the capability to use commercial-grade pressure washing equipment and to calibrate and adjust PSI/GPM, water temperature, flow rate, and nozzle configuration based on surface material, type of soil, and manufacturer recommendations. The narrative shall demonstrate methods to clean aluminum curtainwall frames; masonry, including brick, block, stone, marble, granite, and travertine; ferrous metal; vinyl; and wood without causing substrate degradation, etching, water intrusion, or other surface damage.

Pre-Cleaning Inspection and Damage Prevention: The Government will evaluate whether the Offeror's technical narrative demonstrates a process for inspecting and assessing each facility or structure before pressure washing to determine the appropriate cleaning method;

identifying surface-condition risks; preventing damage to building exteriors; and immediately halting work if pressure washing causes substrate degradation, etching, water intrusion, or other surface damage.

Strict Scope Compliance: The Offeror explicitly acknowledges that roof pressure washing is strictly from the scope of this contract, and that all services are strictly limited to the buildings and excluded structures identified in .Technical Exhibit 3 (TE3)

COR DMO Management: The plan demonstrates a clear understanding that all Demand Maintenance Orders (DMOs) will be submitted and specified directly by the Contracting Officer's Representative

, and that the work scope will vary per DMO (encompassing either a whole structure or a (COR) specific parcel/portion of a building).

Chemical & Environmental Safety Plan: The Government will evaluate whether the Offeror's technical narrative demonstrates a process for selecting cleaning agents, biocides, detergents, and other chemicals that are appropriate for the intended surface and use environment; comply with manufacturer instructions, applicable Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), and Federal, State, local, installation, and environmental requirements; and prevent chemical overspray, discharge, runoff, and residue from creating hazards to personnel, property, or the environment. The Government will also evaluate the Offeror's process for submitting SDSs to the KO/COR no later than five (5) business days before first use and submitting a written chemical-approval request, including the applicable SDS, to the COR before using a new or revised chemical.

DMO Responsiveness Strategy: The scheduling and mobilization plan demonstrates the Offeror's capability to meet the strict response and completion timelines for Priority 1 (Emergency), Priority 2 (Urgent), and Priority 3 (Routine) DMOs as defined in PWS Paragraph 5.4.1.

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

The Past Performance factor will be evaluated to assess the Offeror's probability of successful contract performance based on relevant history.

Relevancy Assessment: The Government will evaluate the relevancy of the Offeror's submitted contract references (maximum of 5) performed within the last three (3) years. Relevancy is defined as work similar in nature, size, magnitude, complexity, and scope to this requirement.

Performance Rating:

Acceptable: Based on the Offeror's performance record and independent federal databases (e.

g., CPARS/PPIRS), the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort. The record must indicate no significant or unresolved negative past performance.

Neutral: In accordance with , an Offeror without a record of relevant past RFO 15.202(c) performance, or for whom past performance information is not available, will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably. Instead, the Offeror will receive a rating. A "Neutral" rating is "Neutral" deemed for the purposes of this solicitation and will not negatively impact or "Acceptable" disqualify the Offeror.

Unacceptable: Based on the Offeror's performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort due to significant, unresolved negative past performance.
