Projects must be recent (project constructed within the past seven (7) years), relevant project similar in scope. The submitted projects shall have at least a “satisfactory” performance rating. Submission of correspondence from project owners will suffice if performance evaluation forms are not available. For government agency projects, the offeror shall submit that agency’s performance evaluation forms. The Government may contact the individuals identified by the offeror to confirm performance capabilities. The offeror must take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the named individuals can be reached at the number indicated for a reference. The Government may use other information that is readily available to determine an Offeror’s past performance, such as the USACE Construction Contractor or Architect-Engineers Appraisal Support System (CCASS/ACASS). The requirement to submit information pertaining to this evaluation factor is a separate requirement from the submission of the pre-award survey information with the cost proposal.

Offeror’s Past Performance Evaluation. At the end of this section is included a sample Past Performance Evaluation Questionnaire. The offeror shall identify the in-progress or completed projects to be used for reference and evaluation purposes.

The Technical Evaluation Committee does not evaluate this volume; the Price Committee reviews it. Additionally, submit other pertinent financial documentation, in this volume, as appropriate, consisting of the SF 1442, proposed bid schedule, Section 00600, and Preaward Survey.

3. Price cannot be evaluated by a percentage alone. Therefore, based on historical information on prior job order contracts the low price will be determined by the following:

Line Item 0001AA Normal working hours

Proposed Coefficient X $6,000,000.00 for a total dollar value of line item 0001AA

Line Item 0002AB Other than normal working hours

Proposed Coefficient X $700,000.00 for a total dollar value of line item 0002AB

Line Item 0003AC Overhead and profit rate for all non-prepriced items

Proposed Coefficient X $350,000.00 for a total dollar value of line item 0003AC

4. All three line items will be added to determine the low offer.

W912BU-10-R-0016 00 110 00 – 8

5. The Price Schedule is in the form of a coefficient. Each offeror must submit a coefficient in order to be considered for award. The coefficient shall not extend beyond four (4) decimal places (e.g., 1.0012). The Offeror’s coefficient shall contain all costs other than the prepriced unit prices, as no allowance will be made after award. Offerors must specify in their proposals the breakdown and what types of costs are included in their coefficient formula. The Government anticipates approximate 85% of the work to occur during normal working hours, approximately 10% of the work to occur during other than normal working hours, and 5% of the work to occur from all non-prepriced items. The offeror’s coefficient shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

- Coefficient to incorporate both Burlington and Ocean Counties

W912BU-10-R-0016 00 110 00 – 9

F. EVALUATION CRITERIA

1. SOURCE SELECTION EVALUATION BOARD

1.1. Separate Committees (Technical Evaluation Committee (TEC) and Price Evaluation Committee (PEC) have been established to evaluate the technical and price proposals.

These committees will act independently and will report to the Source Selection Board (SSEB). These committees determine the overall ratings for each proposal. The SSEB, TEC and PEC shall strictly adhere to the evaluation procedures contained in this plan.

The evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal and any subsequent discussions required, as well as information obtained from other sources, e.g. past performance information. The Committees will not consider any information incorporated by reference.

1.2. EVALUATION

1.2.1. The TEC and PEC will evaluate the proposals and assign a consensus rating for each evaluation factor.

1.2.2. A “Competitive Range” is a subjective determination of the most highly rated proposals in the event that discussions with Offerors are required or considered to be in the Government’s best interests. In such an event, the Contracting Officer will establish a competitive range of all the most highly rated proposals.

1.2.3. If discussions are held, the Government may engage in a broad give and take with each Offeror in the competitive range, in accordance with FAR 15.306 (d). The Government will provide the Offeror an advance agenda for the discussions. During discussions, the Government may ask the Offeror to further explain its proposal and to answer questions about it.

1.2.4. Upon conclusion of discussions, those Offerors still considered the most highly rated, will be afforded an opportunity to submit their proposal revisions for final evaluation and selection.

1.3. DEFINITIONS

1.3.1. Deficiency

A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement, where correction of this error is not possible without major revisions to the proposal, or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level or when a failure to meet the RFP requirements is a life/safety issue.

W912BU-10-R-0016 00 110 00 – 10

1.3.2. Weakness

A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance but is easily correctable. Successful contract performance is defined by customer satisfaction.

1.3.3. Significant Weakness

As flaw in the proposal that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. Successful contract performance is defined by customer satisfaction.

1.3.4 Strength

An aspect of a proposal that appreciably decreases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance or that represents a significant benefit to the Government. A strength can only exist in area of the proposal that not covered by prescriptive RFP requirements.

Anything above a prescriptive RFP requirement will be considered a betterment.

1.3.5 Uncertainty

Any aspect of the proposal for which the intent of the Offeror is unclear because there may be more than one way to interpret the offer or because inconsistencies in the offer indicate that there may be an error, omission, or mistake.

1.3.6. Deviation

Proposal implies or specifically offers a deviation below the specified criteria. The Offeror may or may not have called the deviation to the Government’s attention. A deviation is a deficiency. The proposal must conform to the solicitation requirements for award.

1.4. RATING SYSTEM -

1.4.1. General: The Government will review the proposals and rate the quality of each evaluation factor. The TEC and PEC will rate each proposal against the specified evaluation criteria in the Solicitation requirements. They will not compare proposals.

1.4.2. Review Write-up: The Government will support each rating with a narrative, separately listing all strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies, and required clarifications.

1.4.3. Rating System: After listing proposal strengths, weaknesses and deficiencies, the TEC and PEC will assign an adjective rating of “Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, or Unsatisfactory”, to each, which reflect the Government's confidence in each Offeror's ability, as demonstrated in its proposal, to perform the requirements stated in the RFP. The adjectival ratings shall be assigned, using the following criteria, which incorporate a proposal risk assessment:

W912BU-10-R-0016 00 110 00 – 11

(i) Excellent: proposal demonstrates excellent understanding of the requirements and approach that significantly exceeds performance or capability standards. Has exceptional strengths that will significantly benefit the government. The proposal contains no significant weaknesses or deficiencies and presents very low risk that it will not be successful.

(ii) Good: Proposal demonstrates a good understanding of requirements and approach that exceeds performance or capability standards. Has one or more strengths that will benefit the government. Has no deficiencies and is an acceptable solution. Any weakness notes in the proposal are minor and should not seriously affect the Offeror’s performance and presents how low risk that it will not be successful.

(iii) Satisfactory: Proposal demonstrates acceptable understanding of the requirements and approach that meets performance or capability standards. The approach may include both strengths and weaknesses of substance, where strengths are not outweighed by weakness. Collectively, strengths and weaknesses are likely to result in acceptable performance. Has no deficiencies and is an acceptable solution. The risk or unsuccessful performance is low to moderate, as the proposal solutions are generally feasible and practical.

(iv) Marginal: Proposal demonstrates shallow understanding of requirements and approach that only marginally meets performance or capability standards necessary for minimal, but acceptable contract performance. The proposal demonstrates an approach which may not be capable of meeting all requirements and objectives. The Offeror may satisfactorily complete the proposed tasks, but there is a high risk that it will not be successful. The approach has weaknesses of substance and strengths, which if they exist, are outweighed by the weaknesses.

Has no deficiencies. Collectively, the strengths, if any, and weaknesses are not likely to result in satisfactory performance. The risk of unsuccessful performance is high as the proposal may contain solutions which may not be feasible and practical.

(v) Unsatisfactory: Proposal fails to meet performance capability standards and contains deficiencies. Requirements can only be met with major changes to the proposal. The risk or unsuccessful performance is very high as the proposal contains solutions which are not feasible and practical and/or do not meet the solicitation requirement.

W912BU-10-R-0016 00 110 00 – 14

2. The basis of award will be the Government’s assessment as to which proposal receives an acceptable rating and is the lowest price. Overall technical merit will be assessed by a consideration of the evaluation factors. Price will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness.

3. Offerors have been reminded to include their best technical and price terms in their initial offer and not to automatically assume that they will have an opportunity to participate in discussions or be asked to submit a revised offer. The Government may make award of an acceptable proposal without discussions, if deemed to be in the best interests of the Government.

I. BASIS OF AWARD

The Contracting Officer will award an indefinite delivery job order contract to that responsible Offeror whose proposal results in the selection of a technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price. Offerors are reminded that the Contract award shall not exceed the target amount described in this RFP for this project.

The intent of this solicitation is to obtain the best proposal within the target amount.

There is no obligation to approach or match the target amount in the offer. After the Government individually evaluates and rates each proposal, the Source Selection Authority will make award to the offeror who has the lowest price technically acceptable proposal.
