Evaluation:

Step 1 – Determine if proposal meets the solicitation requirements Preliminary Construction Schedule Proposed Subcontractors Step 2 – Determine strengths, weaknesses and deficiencies Step 3 – Assign an overall combined Technical/Risk Rating for each factor

The Technical/Risk Ratings reflect the degree to which the offeror demonstrates the necessary capabilities and approach to effectively perform the project.

Once the non-price factor ratings are complete, price will be considered in connection with the non-price ratings, comparing the relative advantages and disadvantages of the proposal and price to determine the Offer which represents the Best Value to the US Government and the project owner.
