Proposal volumes shall be tabbed. Each proposal volume shall include a Table of Contents that includes the title of the subject matter discussed therein and the page number where the information can be found. The proposal shall be organized in the same order described below in paragraph 2.2. Proposals that are not correctly organized may be considered “Unacceptable.”

2.1.4 Proposal Presentation

Proposals shall completely address the requirements of the solicitation. Prepare proposals in the English language. Elaborate format, binders, special reproduction techniques, and the like are not necessary.

However, the proposal shall be neatly organized and bound.

2.3.3.1 Factor II, Past Performance – Basis of Evaluation

The Government’s past performance evaluation will include an assessment of past performance on relevant contracts submitted under Factor 1. The evaluators will assess whether the Offeror demonstrates that it has performed satisfactorily in the past on relevant contracts, including any trends in past performance, to ascertain the ability of the Offeror to accomplish the work specified under this solicitation.

Evaluation of past performance will be a subjective assessment based on consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. Evaluators will assess each Offeror’s past performance on relevant contracts submitted under Factor I, Technical.

Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

Unacceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance of for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeor may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (See FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability / unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “Acceptable.”

In addition to the information provided above, the Government may obtain and evaluate additional past performance information from the Client on the submitted projects, or other relevant projects completed by the Offeror before five (5) years from the date this solicitation was issued. The Government may contact and interview the Client, and reserves the right to interview other individuals acting for the listed owners or owner’s representative listed as a reference, if the listed reference is not available. The Government may use personal knowledge or information from other sources in its evaluation of an Offeror’s past performance.

The Government may also obtain and evaluate existing past performance information on relevant projects completed before five (5) years from the date this solicitation was issued through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company / subsidiary / affiliate) identified in the Offeror’s proposal, inquiries to owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources, even though not provided by the Offeror. In rating past performance, the Government may consider available past performance information on predecessor companies.

2.4 Volume II, Price Proposal

2.4.1 General

The Contracting Officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the Contracting Officer will review this determination and if, in the Contracting Officer's opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition, the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists, Offerors may be required to submit additional information to the extent necessary for the Contracting Officer to determine the reasonableness of the price.

2.4.2 Volume II, Price Proposal – Basis of Evaluation

Price proposals will be evaluated to ascertain the reasonableness and fairness of the proposed price and to ensure that it is free of clerical or mathematical error. Price analysis will be performed by one or more of the following techniques to ensure a fair and reasonable price:

a. Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation

b. Comparison of proposed prices with the independent Government Cost Estimate

The Contracting Officer will evaluate the price proposals for unbalanced pricing. An offer may be rejected if it is determined that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

ADJECTIVAL RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT

YOUR EVALUATION OF THE CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner.

There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory Performance meets minimum contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

(U) Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable

No information or did not apply to your contract

Rating will be neither positive nor negative.
