B. BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government intends to award a single contract to the responsible Offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government, considering the evaluation factors described herein. The non-price technical factors when combined, are significantly more important than price. Offerors will be cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price offered. The

Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced Offeror or to reject all Offerors. To receive consideration for award, an Offeror must receive a rating of no less than “Acceptable” for each of the Technical factors.

If awarded the contract, the Offeror shall construct the project in accordance with the plans and specifications.

1.0 Contract Award

The evaluation will be conducted in accordance with the, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.3, Department of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 215.3, Army Federal Acquisition Regulation

Supplement (AFARS) 5225.3, Department of Defense Source Selection Procedures, Army Source Selection

Supplement (AS3) to the Department of Defense Source Selection Procedures, and this solicitation. Award will be made to the Offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 9, conforms to the solicitation requirements (such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications).

Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the Offeror being considered non awardable.

1.1. Award without Discussions

The Government intends to award without discussions IAW FAR 52.215-1; however, IAW FAR Subpart 15.306, should discussions become necessary, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions. Therefore, Offerors are advised to submit proposals that are fully and clearly acceptable without additional information. If award will be made without conducting discussions, the Offeror may only be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of proposals (e.g., the relevance of an Offeror’s past performance information and adverse past performance information to which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond) or to resolve minor or clerical errors.

1.2 Competitive Range/Discussions

The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contract; to negotiate with Offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contract to the Offeror

Section 00 22 16 – Page 5 whose proposal is determined to represent the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered.

If discussions are deemed necessary, they will be held only with those Offerors determined to be in the competitive range. The Contracting Officer may establish a competitive range comprised of the most highly rated proposals based on the rating of each evaluation factor against the evaluation criteria. The competitive range may be further reduced for purposes of efficiency pursuant to FAR 15.306(c)(2). If the Government elects to open discussions, it has sole discretion as to whether an Offeror is in the competitive range, and may include proposals rated

“Unacceptable” under the Technical factors. Offerors whose proposals are not included in the competitive range will be notified as soon as practicable.

Discussions will include issuance of evaluation notices with its significant weaknesses, deficiencies, adverse past performance, and any other aspects of the Offeror’s proposal that could enhance materially the Offeror’s proposal for award. During discussions, the Government may ask the Offeror to further explain and / or to answer questions about its proposal. An Offeror initially included in the competitive range may be eliminated from consideration for award during discussions. At the conclusion of discussions, each Offeror still within the competitive range shall be given an opportunity to submit a Final Proposal Revision (FPR) for final evaluation and selection.

C. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each proposal:

Relevant construction experience will be limited to performance of contracts similar in size, scope, and complexity to that outlined in the solicitation. The Offeror shall submit a maximum of five (5) contracts. If more than five (5) contracts are submitted, only the first five (5) contracts will be evaluated. The

Offeror shall submit a completed Attachment A “Experience Information” form for each contract. All blocks must be filled in and all data should be accurate, current and complete. Each contract shall be described in two pages or less. Any pages that exceed this limitation will not be considered. The information in Attachment A includes, but is not limited to, the following contract information:
