2. BASIS OF AWARD: Selection for award will be determined using the Tradeoff Process in accordance with FAR 15.101-1. This process permits tradeoffs among cost or price and non-cost factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal.

All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly more important than price.

3. EVALUATION OF THE PRICE PROPOSALS

a. Price will be evaluated and considered but will not be scored or combined with other aspects of the proposal evaluation. The proposed prices will be analyzed for reasonableness.

They may also be analyzed to determine whether they are realistic for the work to be performed, reflect a clear understanding of the requirements, and are consistent with the information provided by the Offeror. Additionally, all offers will be analyzed for unbalanced pricing.

b. An offeror may be required to confirm its price on either a CLIN, element, or total price basis, and/or provide additional information in support of their price prior to task order award at the Government’s request and discretion.

4. GENERAL TECHNICAL CRITERIA

Conformance with the specified format and submission requirements will be considered during the technical evaluation. Failure to comply with the format and/or the submission requirements may be seen as indicative of the type of problems that could be expected during contract performance.

Material omission(s) may result in the offer being found deficient.

Proposals which are generic, vague, or lacking in detail may be considered deficient. The offeror’s failure to include information that the Government has indicated should be included in the proposal may result in the offer being found deficient.

5. EVALUATION OF THE TECHNICAL PROPOSAL:

Experience and Technical Approach Ratings: The Experience and Technical Approach factors will receive one of the ratings described below:

Outstanding: Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

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.

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

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

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

FACTOR 1, EXPERIENCE

The Government will review the project experience submitted up to the limits specified to ensure the submission requirements are met.

More than two projects completed within the past six years that are similar in scope, magnitude and complexity as the RFP requirement and meeting the submission requirements may be considered a strength.

More than one Experience project including experience working with the USACE, including Safety Manual EM385-1-1, the 3-phase inspection process, Quality Control, and Scheduling may be considered a strength.

More than one Experience project including experience with Air Handler Unit replacement and/or upgrade of similar size and scope with predominance of management and responsibility for the project within a hospital may be considered a strength.

FACTOR 2, TECHNICAL APPROACH

The Government will review the narrative and schedule to ensure the submission requirements are met. The narrative and schedule will be specifically reviewed for:

- an understanding of the project requirements

- a technically feasible approach to meeting the project requirements

- a commitment to accomplish all the work in accordance with the solicitation requirements

- a commitment to meet scheduling requirements and complete the project within the contract period of performance

- An adequate plan for customer service and Quality Control. An adequate plan will address the following topics: Management approach; oversight of application methods;

adequacy of basic data and assumptions; completeness of documentation; compliance with the contract specifications; and method for identifying, reporting, and resolving problems.

- Adequate construction safety procedures. Adequate construction safety procedures need to be in compliance with the USACE safety and health requirements found in EM-385-1- 1 and need to address: sanitation, medical & first aid, temporary facilities, personal protective & safety equipment; Hazardous materials, lighting, signage, fire prevention, welding, electrical, hand & power tools, load handling equipment, vehicles, and fall protection.

- Completeness and accuracy of schedule to include the critical path and completion of all design and construction activities within the allowed period of performance.

FACTOR 3, PAST PERFORMANCE:

Ratings: The Past Performance factor will receive one of the ratings described below:

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.

Past Performance Evaluation:

- The Government will review the past performance information for the projects submitted for Factor 1, Experience that are recent (completed within the past six years), and relevant (contracts for Air Handler Unit replacement). The Government reserves the right to consider other past performance information from any source.

- If any negative past performance information is received to which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond, the Offeror will be given an opportunity to provide rebuttal.

- Recent, relevant past performance information/reports will be assessed to determine the overall quality of the work performed.
