52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS,

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND EVALUATION

1. WHO MAY SUBMIT

This solicitation is for Unrestricted competition.

All proposers, including joint ventures, must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov). See paragraph 15.6 Joint Ventures/SAM Registration.

There will be no public opening. All proposals submitted will become, upon receipt, the property of the U.S.

Government and will not be returned. After evaluation of proposals, the original will be retained for the official contract file. Extra copies of the awardees’ proposal will be submitted to the Field and Area Offices in support of their contract administration functions. Any extra copies of the proposals deemed unnecessary by the government will be destroyed.

2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

In order to effectively and equitably evaluate all proposals, the Contracting Officer must receive information sufficiently detailed to clearly indicate compliance with the proposal submission requirements.

3. SIZE OF PRINTED MATTER SUBMISSIONS

All written portions (other than an organization chart (if provided)) shall be in 8-1/2" x 11" format.

4. WHERE TO SUBMIT

Offerors shall submit their proposal packages to the USACE Contracting Activity at the address shown in Block 9 of Standard Form 1449.

5. SUBMISSION DEADLINE

Proposals shall be received by the USACE Contracting Activity no later than the time and date specified in Block 8 of Standard Form 1449.

Due to heightened security at Government installations, those Offerors who have their proposals hand-delivered shall contact Wayne Weidenhamer, Contract Specialist, at (402) 995-2074 prior to delivering to:

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District ATTN: CENWO-CT-C (Weidenhamer) 1616 Capitol Avenue Omaha, NE 68102-4901

On the date specified and for the thirty minutes prior to the time specified on the Standard Form SF 1449, Block 8, a Contracting Representative will be in the lobby to accept proposals. Official time will be established by the clock located in the area where proposals are received.

6. PROPOSALS

Offerors shall submit a proposal that meets or exceeds the minimum requirements of these specifications through the replacement, modification or refurbishment of components identified in this solicitation.

7. EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS

a. All proposals and documentation which have been properly submitted will be evaluated. Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of the factors stated in the solicitation to select the responsible offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government. Because of the number of proposals anticipated, uniformity of all proposals is essential to assure fair and accurate evaluation. All proposals must comply with the instructions in the solicitation.

Proposals that do not generally conform to the RFP requirements may be considered to have a “critical defect”, i.e. a defect that cannot be remedied by exchanges and/or permitted proposal revisions. If a proposal is suspected of having a critical defect, it will be brought to the immediate attention of the appropriate authority who will determine if there is a critical defect. If the determination is made that a critical defect exists, the proposal will not be evaluated further and will be eliminated from further consideration. The affected offeror shall be promptly notified of the decision. Properly conforming proposals will be forwarded to the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) for evaluation. If, after award, the key personnel or sub-contractors identified in the proposal are replaced, replacement personnel or sub-contractors with similar skills and experience equal to those presented in the proposal shall be presented to the Contracting Officer for approval. The Contractor shall obtain the Contracting Officer’s written consent before making any substitutions for these designated personnel or sub-contractors.

b. Information obtained from owners, contract administrators, or other points of contact provided by the offeror may affect the evaluation rating given for the factors being evaluated by those discussions.

c. Evaluations will be conducted in accordance with the Tradeoff Process, FAR 15.101-1. Factors 1 through 4 will be rated using a color/adjectival methodology with a narrative assessment, and Factor 5 (Price) will be evaluated after consensus scoring Factors 1-4. Proposal evaluation is an assessment of the proposal and the offeror's ability to perform the resultant contract successfully. Proposals will be evaluated to determine ratings supported by narratives, and to identify strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies of the proposed approach in each proposal.

d. Evaluation Definitions.

Strength. A substantive aspect, attribute, or specific item in the proposal that exceeds the solicitation requirements and enhances the probability of successful contract performance.

Weakness. A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. A significant weakness in the proposal is a flaw that appreciably increases the risk.

Deficiency. A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

Clarification. Clarifications are limited exchanges between the Government and Offerors that may occur when award without discussions is contemplated. If award without discussions is anticipated, Offerors may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of their proposals or to resolve minor or clerical errors.

Communications. Communications are exchanges between the Government and Offerors after receipt of proposals, leading to establishment of the competitive range.

Discussions. Discussions are negotiations conducted in a competitive acquisition and take place after establishment of the competitive range. Discussions are tailored to each Offeror’s proposal, and shall be conducted by the Contracting Officer with each Offeror within the competitive range.

e. Combined Technical/Risk Rating. The application of a scale of colors and adjectival description will be used in conjunction with narrative to denote the degree to which the proposal has met the standard for a non-cost factor.

Ratings will be applied at the factor and subfactor level. If, at any subfactor level, an offeror’s proposal is evaluated as not meeting a minimum requirement (that is, below the rating of Marginal), this fact must be included in the rating and narrative assessment at that level and at the factor. Therefore, an Unacceptable rating at any subfactor level may be carried to the factor level. The ratings provided in table below will be used to evaluate Factors 1, 3, and 4.

Combined Technical/Risk Ratings

Color Rating Description Blue Outstanding Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

Purple Good Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements.

Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Green Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements.

Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance.

Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Yellow Marginal Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is unawardable.

f. Past Performance Evaluation. The past performance evaluation results in an assessment of the Offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. There are two aspects of the past performance evaluation. The first aspect is relevancy. The past performance evaluation considers each Offeror's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the contract’s requirements. The Offeror’s past performance will be evaluated to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the Offeror is to the effort to be acquired through the source selection. Consideration shall be given to those aspects of an Offeror’s contract history that would give the greatest ability to measure whether the Offeror will satisfy the current procurement. Common aspects of relevancy include similarity of service/support, complexity; dollar value, contract type, and degree of subcontract/teaming. There are four levels of relevancy as shown below. With respect to relevancy, more relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

Relevancy Rating

Rating Definition Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the contractor performed on the contracts and give a performance confidence assessment. The past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the Offeror performed those past contracts. Past performance information may be provided by the Offeror, as solicited. Past performance information may also be obtained from questionnaires. Past performance information shall be obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency. In conducting a performance confidence assessment, each Offeror shall be assigned one of the ratings as indicated below.

Confidence Rating

Rating Description Substantial Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral)

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

Note that ratings will be applied at the factor and subfactor level (on an Individual and Consensus basis; see discussion of Individual and Consensus rating procedures in paragraph 10 below). The Factor 1, 3 and 4 rating will be expressed as: FACTOR-LEVEL COMBINED TECHNICAL/RISK RATING of _____(insert color-word adjectival rating)____. Factor 2 (Past Performance) receives a “Past Performance Relevancy and Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating.” Factor 5 will not be rated or scored but will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness through the use of price analysis.

For Factor 2, Past Performance, an Unknown Confidence (Neutral) rating will be awarded when no past performance records are otherwise unavailable. Per Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.305(a)(2)(iv), “In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Offeror may not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance."

8. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The areas to be evaluated include Evaluation Factors which will be evaluated based on the adjectival method of evaluation. The requirements specified in the solicitation are considered to be minimum requirements. A more favorable evaluation rating may be given for exceeding the minimum requirements. Note: Factors 1-3 are equal in importance to each other, and Factor 4 is significantly less important than Factors 1, 2, or 3. Factor 5 (Price) is significantly less important to the combined Factors 1-4.

Binder No. 1

Factor 1 –Experience Factor 2 – Past Performance Factor 3 –Technical Approach Factor 4 - Utilization of Small Business Concerns (Large Businesses Only)

Binder No. 2 Factor 5 – Price (significantly less important to the combined factor elements in Binder 1)

Note: A low evaluation rating for any factor, or combination of different factors, may cause the proposal to be evaluated as “Unsatisfactory”. Price will be evaluated in accordance the requirements listed in paragraph 14.2, Evaluation Of Price.

9. PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS AND SUBMISSION FORMAT

Offerors shall submit the original and four (4) copies of their Binder 1 (containing Factors1-4). Only the original of Binder 2 – Price, shall be submitted (copies of this binder are not required).

10. FACTOR 1 - EXPERIENCE

In this factor, the offeror shall submit up to five (5) examples of digital governor projects which best illustrate the experience of the contractor on projects of similar function, scope.

10.1 Submission Requirements

Each Offeror shall submit evidence of previous experience of providing digital control conversion kits for mechanical speed governors for hydroelectric generators. Previous experience shall be defined as performing the activities associated with designing, assembling, factory testing, and supplying digital governor conversion kits.

Experience installing the kits will not be evaluated, but proposals shall demonstrate the Offeror’s experience of on-site commissioning and troubleshooting for the conversion kits that they have supplied. Submit five example projects where the Offeror was the prime or subcontractor. Examples submitted shall demonstrate experience providing digital governor conversion kits for each of the following governor types: Pelton Francis and/or fixed blade propeller, Woodward Kaplan, and Woodward Francis. Examples shall have been completed in the last 5 years. Completed shall be defined as the conversion kit being successfully designed, assembled, factory tested, delivered, installed, and commissioned. It is allowable to have an ongoing project as an example of past experience, provided 100% of design and 75%, or 10 units, have been completed. In addition to the five projects listed above, it is acceptable to provide a comprehensive list of all projects relevant to this solicitation.

The following information is required for each example that is submitted:

a. Customer organization or company name, primary point of contact (POC), position of POC, Customer address and phone number.

b. Contract number, if applicable

f. Indicate if prime or subcontractor on project

g. Type of governor that was converted

h. Number of units converted

i. A narrative or description how the work meets the above definition of experience.

10.2 Evaluation of Factor 1

The Government will review the example projects provided by the Offeror and evaluate whether the Offeror possesses sufficient experience and technical competence to successfully complete this project. The proposals will be rated on the Offeror performing successful work similar to the scope of this solicitation: designing, assembling, factory testing, delivering, and commissioning digital governor conversion kits. The more experience that is relevant to the scope of work in this solicitation, the better the assigned rating will be. Past experience installing digital governor conversion kits will not be evaluated.

Proposals will be evaluated favorably when demonstrating experience retrofitting digital control systems to at least one of each type of governor described above on generating units that are of similar size to those in the solicitation.

Proposals that include at least one example of a where the Offeror supplied conversion kits to multiple powerhouses on one contract will be given a higher rating. Proposals that include at least one past experience example where the Offeror supplied more than ten digital governor conversion kits on at least one of the five detailed projects will be considered favorably.

11. FACTOR 2 –PAST PERFORMANCE

11.1 Submission Requirements

The technical proposal shall contain information concerning Offeror past performance on the five projects from the past experience Factor 1 within the scope of providing digital control conversions for mechanical speed governors for hydroelectric generators. Past performance information shall be provided for instances where the Offeror designed, assembled, factory tested, delivered, and commissioned digital governor conversion kits. Provide five references where the Offeror was the prime or subcontractor. Projects shall have been completed in the last 5 years.

Completed shall be defined as the conversion kit being successfully designed, assembled, factory tested, delivered, installed, and commissioned. It is allowable to submit an ongoing project provided 100% of design and 75%, or 10 units, have been completed.

The following information is required for each example:

a. Customer organization or company name, primary point of contact (POC), position of POC, and customer address and phone number.

b. Contract number, if applicable

c. Powerhouse name and location (state or country)

d. Date contract and/or work began

e. Date item of equipment was delivered and installation was completed (per definition of “completed” above).

f. Indicate if prime or subcontractor on project

g. Type of governor that was converted

h. Number of units converted

i. A Customer provided narrative, description, or rating of how the Offeror performed on performance indicators, including, but not limited to:

(1) Quality of Work –

(a) Did the work performed by the Offeror meet, exceed, or fail to meet the Customer’s expectations and specifications?

(b) Was rework required? If rework was required, were issues remedied, or was additional rework required? Were punch list items addressed quickly and completely?

(2) Schedule –

(a) Did the Offeror meet all major milestones and delivery dates?

(b) If a delivery date or milestone was missed, how did the Offeror respond and recover? Did the Offeror communicate that the milestone or delivery date in advance of missing the milestone or delivery date?

(3) Customer Satisfaction –

(a) Was the Customer satisfied with the overall work provided by the Offeror? Would you choose to do business with the Offeror again if given the choice?

(b) Were there any specific actions that the Offeror performed that made the Customer more than satisfied or less than satisfied with the work performed? If so, what were the specific actions?

(c) Was the Offeror responsive to the Customer’s needs?

(d) Was there any instance of conflict between the Customer and the Offeror? How was the conflict resolved?

(e) Did the Offeror clearly communicate with the Customer about the ongoing status of the contract?

Since the Government may not necessarily interview all the sources provided by the Offerors, it is incumbent upon the Offerors to explain the relevance of the data provided. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in the proposal. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the Offerors.

In addition the information submitted by the Offeror, the Government may consider other sources for past performance information including, but not limited to, the Contractors Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and personal knowledge.

11.2 Evaluation of Factor 2

The Government seeks a contractor who maintains a strong commitment to customer satisfaction and superior performance. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to affirmatively document these qualities in the technical proposal.

In doing so, be mindful that “past performance” and “past experience” are not identical. Past experience measures what the Offeror has done and how many times, or for how long, they have done it. Past performance, however, measures how well the Offeror performed.

Proposals will be rated on the past performance indicators of quality of work, schedule, and customer satisfaction.

A good proposal would demonstrate that the Offeror receives consistent satisfactory or better ratings across all of the above indicators. Higher ratings will be assigned for those proposals that demonstrate superior past performance with work that is relevant in scope and size to this solicitation.

Past performance will be evaluated within the scope of designing, assembling, factory testing, delivery, and commissioning activities of digital governor conversions. Past performance of installing digital governor conversion kits will not be evaluated. The Government may consider Government evaluation data bases for additional past performance information which may be rated.

12. FACTOR 3 - TECHNICAL APPROACH

12.1 Submission Requirements

Technical proposals shall demonstrate how the Offeror’s technical approach will successfully meet all of the requirements of the solicitation. The technical approach shall include the following elements, at a minimum. The Offeror can include additional elements to demonstrate their technical approach further:

a. A narrative describing the Offeror’s technical approach to meeting the requirements of the solicitation.

Include details describing how the Offeror’s standard design will be modified to meet the specific requirements of the solicitation. Include details of the Offeror’s plan to meet the requirement that each digital governor conversion kit will need to be factory tested for full functionality.

b. A list of the major equipment, including manufacturer, model number, and selected options, that will be used including: Governor PLC, Governor HMI, proportional valves, gate and blade position feedback sensors, speed sensing equipment and distributing valve position feedback sensors.

(2) Software block diagram

(3) Screen captures of typical HMI screen layouts.

12.2 Evaluation of Factor 3

The technical approach will be evaluated and rated on completeness, technical content, and clarity in the following ways:

a. Completeness: Proposals that do not include all the required minimum elements of the technical approach will have their rating reduced or be disqualified. Proposals that are thorough and detailed will be considered favorably.

b. Technical Content: Proposals will be rated on whether the content of the technical approach meets the requirements of the solicitation.
