3. SOURCE SELECTION USING THE TRADE-OFF PROCESS . The Government will select the offer that represents the best value to the Government by using the trade-off process described in FAR Part 15. This process permits tradeoffs between cost/price and technical (“non-cost”) factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced offer. The award decision will be based on a comparative assessment of proposals against all source selection criteria in the solicitation.

4. RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF PRICE TO THE TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTORS

All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are more important than price. The Government is concerned with striking the most advantageous balance between technical merit (“quality”) and price to the Government (i.e., the price). The degree of importance of price could become greater depending upon the equality of the technical proposals. If competing technical proposals are determined to be essentially equal, price could become the controlling factor.

5. EVALUATION OF THE PRICE PROPOSALS

a. Price will be evaluated and considered but will not be scored or combined with other aspects of the proposal evaluation. The proposed prices will be analyzed for reasonableness. They may also be analyzed to determine whether they are realistic for the work to be performed; reflect a clear understanding of the requirements; and are consistent with the Offeror’s Technical Proposal. Additionally, all offers will be analyzed for unbalanced pricing.

b. The price will be used along with the technical evaluation to make selection for award. Since evaluation of the price proposal will represent a portion of the total evaluation, it is possible that an Offeror might not be selected for award because of unreasonable, unrealistic, or incomplete price proposal information. The Government will evaluate the format and clarity of the price proposal.

c. Other Award Factors: The Contracting Officer shall consider several factors in the selection process which are important, but not quantified, such as:

(1) Agreement by the Offeror to all general and special contract provisions and clauses.

(2) Determination of responsibility of the contractor by the Contracting Officer in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Part 9.1. In order to be determined responsible, a prospective contractor must:

(a) Have adequate financial resources to perform the contract or the ability to obtain them.

(b) Be able to comply with the required or proposed delivery or performance schedule taking into consideration all existing commercial and Governmental business commitments.;

(c) Have a satisfactory performance record.

(d) Have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics.

(e) Have the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them.

(f) Have the necessary production, construction, and technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them.

(g) Be otherwise qualified and eligible to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations.

6. EVALUATION OF THE TECHNICAL PROPOSAL. The Technical Proposal will be evaluated based on the following evaluation criteria:

a. FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE: The Government will evaluate the following elements of this factor based on the information on the project experience forms and supporting documentation submitted by the contractor:

· The relevant work experience of the Offeror and the subcontractors on projects same/similar to that described in this solicitation.

· Complexity of past work experience of the Offeror and the subcontractors on projects submitted compared with that included in the solicitation.

· Of the projects submitted, at least three (3) must be valued at over $4,000,000.

· Offerors with experience on same/similar relevant projects (type of services, similar dollar value, complexity, USACE design / construction requirements, and applicable quality standards) may receive a higher rating than those with dissimilar or non-relevant projects.

· Offerors with experience as a team on prior projects same/similar to the requirements of the solicitation may receive a higher rating than those without prior team experience.

b. FACTOR 2, PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN: The Government will evaluate the following elements of this factor based on the narrative Responses to this factor will be evaluated for:

· The Offeror's ability to manage the overall project, control quality and safety on site and corporately;

· How the Offeror plans to meet the major design and construction project milestones.

· The Offeror's understanding of the work efforts and its ability to provide quality, responsive, and timely performance over the planned life of the project;

· If the Offeror has a sound plan addressing timely delivery and receipt of equipment and materials at the job site which coincides with the major construction project milestones.

· Management of concurrent work on multiple job sites.

· The organizational chart will be evaluated for a clear depiction of the lines of authority and responsibility for all personnel/entities on the project, including subcontractors, from the lowest level to the corporate level. The organizational chart shall clearly indicate which entity has overall authority for the contract and identify by name and title the single Point of Contact to the Government for all project-related matters.

c. FACTOR 3: PERSONNEL: The Government will evaluate the following elements of key personnel resumes:

· The depth and breadth of personnel experience on same/similar projects as it relates to the responsibilities that person will have on this contract.

· All key personnel shall have a degree in the field of work governed by the position they are assigned to (if appropriate for the position) and a minimum of five (5) years of professional experience in their field. For example, a Civil Engineer must have a degree in Civil Engineering and 5 years of professional civil engineering experience.

d. FACTOR 4: PAST PERFORMANCE: The Government will evaluate past performance information to assess the level of performance risk associated with the Offeror’s likelihood of success in performing the requirements stated in the solicitation. The relevance and current nature of the information (as determined by the Government), the source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the contractor’s performance may be considered. Information submitted by the Offeror pertaining to recent, relevant contracts will be evaluated as well as data obtained from other sources, including automated databases and questionnaires. References other than those identified by the Offeror may be contacted by the Government. The Government may take into consideration the Offeror's performance of contracts with the agency; other Federal, State, and local government activities; and commercial concerns. The result will be a performance risk rating based on each Offeror’s record of past performance.

For the purpose of the past performance evaluation, offerors shall be defined as business arrangements and relationships, such as Joint Venture participants, teaming partners, and major subcontractors. The past performance record of each firm in the business arrangement may be evaluated by the Government.

In the case of an Offeror without a record of recent, relevant past performance (and for which there is also no recent, relevant past performance information for its predecessor companies or key subcontractors), or for whom information on past performance is not available or cannot be verified, the Offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance; a neutral rating will be applied for this factor. This does not preclude the Government from making award to a higher-priced Offeror with a favorable past performance record over a lower-priced Offeror with a neutral past performance rating.

e. FACTOR 5: WORK PLAN: The Government will evaluate the work plan to assess the project's probability of success based on the commencement, prosecution, and completion of work within the specified number of calendar days, maintaining the cost/pricing proposal without cost growth, and meeting the quality of the finished product as required in the specifications, drawings, and all other contract documents.

7. RELATIVE WEIGHTING OF THE TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTORS. All technical factors are equal in weight and importance.

8. GENERAL TECHNICAL CRITERIA

a. Material omission(s) may cause the technical proposal to be rejected as unacceptable.

b. Technical proposals which do not provide the specified information in the specified location in accordance with the submission instructions may be downgraded. The Government is under no obligation to search for information that is not in the specified location.

c. Proposals which are generic, vague, or lacking in detail may be downgraded or considered unacceptable. The Offeror's failure to include information that the Government has indicated should be included may result in the proposal being downgraded and/or being found deficient if inadequate detail is provided.

d. The Government cannot make award based on a deficient offer. Therefore, receipt of a “NO GO” determination of acceptability for any factor will make the offer ineligible for award, unless the Government elects to enter into discussions with that Offeror and all deficiencies are remedied in a revised proposal.

9. 52.217-5 EVALUATION OF OPTIONS (JUL 1990)

Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government's best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
