1.0 OVERVIEW

This Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits for the design-bid build renovation of the Santa Fe ACP, Fort Hood, Texas.

The work shall be in accordance with the Request for Proposal documents. The proposed project will be a Total

Small Business set-aside using the “Tradeoff Process”.

The award of this Total Small Business set-aside task order will be for a Design-Bid Build, Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract at Fort Hood, Texas. This will be awarded competitively through a fair opportunity process using FAR

Subpart 19.5.

The Tradeoff Process permits the tradeoffs among cost, price and/or non-cost factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal. Offerors submit their performance and capability information for review and consideration by the Government. Relative weights among technical factors are provided in Section 4: Evaluation

Factors & Weighting. The Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) reviews, evaluates, and rates the proposals against the source selection criteria in the RFP. A competitive range consisting of the most highly qualified technical

Offerors will be established prior to discussions (if held). Concurrently, the Government analyzes price proposals of

Offerors utilizing the project cost proposal. Price will not be rated, but will be a factor in making the final best value determination for award. The Source Selection Authority (SSA) compares proposals and determines the best value for the government. The perceived benefits of the higher priced proposal must merit the additional cost, and the rationale for tradeoffs must be documented.

2.0 BASIS OF AWARD

The Contracting Officer (KO) will award a firm fixed-price task order to that responsible Offeror whose proposal the Source Selection Authority (SSA) determines offers the best overall value to the Government. Best

Value means the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement. This process may result in an award being made to a firm with a higher- priced offer where the decision is consistent with the evaluation criteria/factors and the SSA determines that the superior past performance, summary schedule, and/or construction approach of the higher-priced offer outweighs the cost difference.

The SSA, using sound business judgment, bases the award decision on an integrated assessment of the evaluation criteria in the factors described below. While the entire evaluation team strives for maximum objectivity, the selection process is subjective by nature and professional judgment is implicit throughout the best value process. Ultimately, the contract shall be awarded to the Offeror whose proposal, based upon the evaluation criteria, represents the best value to the Government.

Proposals must meet the criteria stated in the RFP in order to be eligible for award, to include responsiveness, technical acceptability and responsibility.

In order to determine which proposal(s) represent the best value, the Government will be determined by a comparative assessment of proposals against all source selection criteria in this RFP.

As technical ratings and relative advantages and disadvantages become less distinct, differences in price between proposals are of increased importance in determining the most advantageous proposal.

Conversely, as differences in price become less distinct, differences in technical ratings and relative advantages and disadvantages between proposals are of increased importance to the determination. All evaluation factors when combined are significantly more important than price.

The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer(s). The right is also reserved to reject any and all offers.

Offerors are reminded to include their best technical and price terms in their initial offer and not to automatically assume that they will have an opportunity to participate in discussions or be asked to submit a revised offer.
