1. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS

a. REQUIREMENT FOR SEPARATE PRICE AND TECHNICAL PROPOSALS.

(1) Each Offeror must submit both a Price Proposal and a Technical Proposal. The Price Proposal and the Technical Proposal must be submitted as separate volumes. Ensure that the outside of each separate volume is clearly marked to indicate its contents and the identity of the offeror. Additionally, clearly identify the “original” cost/price proposal and the “original” technical proposal on the outside cover.

(2) Both the Price Proposal and the Technical Proposal must be received by the closing date and time set for receipt of proposals.

(3) No dollar amounts from the Price Proposal are to be included in the Technical Proposal.

(4) All information intended to be evaluated as part of the Technical Proposal must be submitted as part of the Technical Proposal. Do not merely cross-reference similar material in the Price Proposal, or vice versa. Also, do not include links to websites in lieu of incorporating information into your proposal.

(5) Do not include exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the technical or price proposal. Should the offer include any standard company terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, the offer may be determined "unacceptable" and thus ineligible for award. Should the offeror have any questions related to specific terms and conditions, these should be resolved prior to submission of the offer.

b. DISCUSSIONS. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors, in accordance with FAR 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors—Competitive Acquisitions. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

c. COST OR PRICING DATA. Offerors are not required to submit Cost or Pricing Data with their offers.

(3) The preferred method for assembling your proposals is to use three-ring binders; however, the use of pressboard or other report covers with compression or other type fasteners is acceptable. Do not use spring clamps or exceed the recommended capacity of the fastener or binder. Do not use plastic multi-hole/spiral binding systems, heat binding systems, or other systems which do not facilitate the ready insertion of additional pages.

(4) “Confidential” projects cannot be submitted to demonstrate capability unless all of the information required for evaluation as specified herein can be provided to the Government as part of the Offeror’s technical proposal. Offerors that include in their proposals information that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, must be clearly marked in accordance with the instructions at FAR 52.215-1, “Instructions to Offerors— Competitive Acquisition”, paragraph (e), “Restriction on disclosure and use of data”.

(5) In the case of an Offeror that is part of a large, multi-segmented business concern, provide information directly pertaining to the specific segment of the business concern (i.e., the division, group, unit, etc.)

that will perform work under the prospective contract.

(6) For submissions with page limitations, the pages will be counted as follows: One side of the paper is one page; information on both the back and front of one sheet of paper will be counted as two pages.

Part III. EVALUATION OF OFFEROR PROPOSALS

1. ELIGIBILITY FOR CONTRACT AWARD. In accordance with the FAR, no contract shall be entered into unless the contracting officer ensures that all requirements of law, executive orders, regulations, and all other applicable procedures, including clearances and approvals, have been met. This includes the FAR requirement that no award shall be made unless the contracting officer makes an affirmative determination of responsibility. To be determined responsible, a prospective contractor must meet the general standards in FAR Part 9 and any special standards set forth in the solicitation.

2. SOURCE SELECTION USING THE LOW-PRICED, TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE PROCESS. An evaluation for acceptability will be performed on each proposal in accordance with FAR 15.101-2(b)(3). The proposal that provides the lowest price and is otherwise technically acceptable in all factors will be selected for award. To be considered technically acceptable, no technical factor in the proposal may be determined to be unacceptable. The failure of a proposal to meet any of the acceptability standards for non-cost factors will result in a technically unacceptable rating and preclude award.

3. BASIS OF AWARD. Award will be made based on the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. Tradeoffs are not permitted. Proposals are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using non-cost/price factors.

4. 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. The otherwise technically acceptable, lowest-priced 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 contract award at the Government’s request and discretion.

5. EVALUATION OF THE TECHNICAL PROPOSAL. The Technical Proposal will be evaluated based on the criteria identified in the individual attachments for the Factors.

6. GENERAL TECHNICAL CRITERIA

a. Material omission(s) may cause the technical proposal to be rejected as unacceptable.

b. Proposals which are generic, vague, or lacking in detail may be considered unacceptable. 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.

c. The Government cannot make award based on a deficient offer. Therefore, receipt of a “NO GO” determination of acceptability for any factor will make the offer ineligible for award, unless the Government elects to enter into discussions with that Offeror and all deficiencies are remedied in a revised proposal.

7. 52.217-5 EVALUATION OF OPTIONS (JUL 1990)

Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government's best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(End of provision)

EXPERIENCE WILL BE EVALUATED BASED ON THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:

The Government will review the project experience of the offeror, including subcontractors, on projects provided in response to the Experience Factor. Offerors must meet all of the following minimum acceptability standards to receive a “GO” on this factor:

(1) Offeror must have at least three (3) projects that are same/similar in size, scope, and complexity to that of the work found in this solicitation; AND

(2) At least two (2) of the projects submitted must be valued at over $500,000.00, and they must have been at least 50% complete within the last 5 years.

Examples follow but should be tailored to the requirement: Project Manager, Safety Officer, Quality Control Manager, Site Superintendent

Resume information to be provided shall be limited to no more than one (1) page per person and shall include the following information as a minimum:

(a) Name and title

(b) Project assignment

(c) Name of firm with which associated

(d) Years’ experience with this firm and with other firms

(e) Active professional registration, year first registered, if applicable

(f) Other experience and qualifications relevant to same/similar work required under this contract

PERSONNEL WILL BE EVALUATED BASED ON THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:

The Government will review the resumes provided in response to the Personnel Factor. Offerors must demonstrate all of the following minimum acceptability standards to receive a “GO” on this factor.

The offeror must demonstrate in all resumes that the key personnel proposed have:

(1) a minimum of 5 years of specialized experience in their field; AND

(2) experience on projects same/similar to the work in this solicitation working in the position they are assigned to under this contract.

Failure to demonstrate the minimally acceptability standards under this factor will result in a “NO GO” rating and possible elimination from further consideration for contract award.

TAB 3: FACTOR 3, PAST PERFORMANCE: For the projects listed under the factor for Experience, the Government will query the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (to include ACASS, CCASS, and CPARS) to validate past performance ratings on Department of Defense contracts and any other past performance information the Government deems necessary to evaluate a contractor’s past performance. Firms without a history of past performance will be given a “go” rating.

For each project that does not have ACASS, CCASS, or CPARS evaluation, Offerors shall forward a copy of the Past Performance Evaluation Questionnaire included at Attachment 1 to the points of contact responsible for monitoring performance under such contracts. These questionnaires shall be returned directly to the Contract Specialist identified in Part I, Paragraph 1. Any questionnaires not returned directly to the Specialist will not be reviewed and evaluated. The information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the offeror’s past performance. If any negative past performance information is received, the contractor will be given an opportunity to provide rebuttal. Each contractor shall provide at least three (3) past performance ratings. Any rating an offeror has in ACASS, CCASS, and CPARS will count toward this requirement. The offeror is responsible for ensuring that the KO has received a minimum of three (3) questionnaires prior to that date/time or has provided written notification to the KO that they have current ratings in ACASS, CCASS, and CPARS. New entities that have no past customers shall notify the KO in writing, prior to the date and time established for the RFP closing, that they have had no previous clients and that the minimum number of questionnaires cannot be provided. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that the reference documentation is provided, as the Government may not make additional requests for past performance information from the references.

The evaluation form shall be provided to the Contract Specialist directly from the reference. Do not request past performance questionnaires on projects that have final ACASS, CCASS, or CPARS evaluations. If a past performance questionnaire is received on a project where a final ACASS, CCASS, or CPARS evaluation exists, the ACASS, CCASS, or CPARS evaluation will serve as the official rating of record for evaluation purposes.

The Government may contact references provided as part of the Factor for Experience, for information regarding the offeror’s past performance on the project and for the purposes of assessing and verifying the scope of the work performed. Offerors should provide accurate, current, and complete contact information for references provided in the project descriptions.

PAST PERFORMANCE WILL BE EVALUATED BASED ON THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:

The Government will review all CPARS, ACASS, CCASS evaluations regardless of project and past performance questionnaires for projects submitted under the Factor for Experience. The Government may contact points of contacts listed on the “Experience Information” forms submitted. Offerors must demonstrate the following minimum acceptability standards:

All past or current references must have overall ratings of satisfactory or above.

FAR 15.101-2(b)(1) requires if the KO determines that a small business' past performance is not acceptable, the matter is referred to the SBA for a COC determination.

Failure to demonstrate the minimally acceptable criteria under this factor will result in a “NO GO” rating and elimination from further consideration for contract award. Offerors with no past performance information will receive a “GO” rating for this factor.
