Contractor will also be required to remove the bottom steel mullions, 95 lf, fabricate, paint and install new steel mullions made of the same grade of steel as the existing mullions. The sealant portion of the work shall be completed on the approximately 1,000 square foot of windows located at the Visitor Center of the Gavins Point Dam, Yankton, South Dakota. The contractor shall complete all work within 60 calendar days after award. The contractor is responsible for inspecting the site of performance. The contractor can arrange a site visit by contacting Mike Callaghan at 402-667-2563 or Curt Bisgard at 402-667-2565.

1.2 All Contractor and all associated sub-contractors employees shall comply with applicable installation, facility and area commander installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by government representative). The Contractor shall also provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by installation Provost Marshal Office, Director of Emergency Services or Security Office. Contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements as directed by DOD, HQDA and/or local policy. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may require changes in Contractor security matters or processes. No background checks are required for this contract.

1.3 The Contractor must pre-screen Candidates using the E-verify Program (http://www.dhs.gov/E-Verify) website to meet the established employment eligibility requirements. The Vendor must ensure that the Candidate has two valid forms of Government issued identification prior to ensure the correct information is entered into the E-verify system. An initial list of verified/eligible Candidates must be provided to the COR no later than 3 business days after the initial contract award. When contracts are with individuals, the individuals will be required to complete a Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, with the designated Government representative. This Form will be provided to the Contracting Officer and shall become part of the official contract file.

2.0. BEST VALUE: Award to the successful contractor shall be based on “Best Value” rather than low bid. The bids will be based on the following factors:

Factor 1 - Past Performance - The contractor shall provide three references of projects completed within the past three years. These references need to be equal to or similar in scope of this requirement. Contractor shall provide dates and pertinent information to demonstrate how they are comparable to this requirement in size and complexity. The contractor should be a commercial specialty service provider involved in the application of the sealant material. The contractor shall include points of contact, titles, telephone numbers, and email addresses (if available) for all references.

Factor 2 - Technical Factors - Technical factors will concentrate on the capacity and the qualifications of the contractor's ability to provide quality work.

a. Subfactor 1 - Contractor Approach – Contractors shall submit a proposal describing the approach to be used to accomplish the project objectives that meet the standards of the performance work statement. A site visit to the project is also a required part of the best value criteria.

b. Subfactor 2 - Time for completion of contract - Contractor shall propose a schedule for the time required to procure material, initiate work and complete project.

Factor 3 - Price

Factors 1 and 2 when combined are significantly more important than price.
