1.13. EVALUATION CRITERIA

Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors of the base proposal. Tradeoffs are not permitted. Proposals will be evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using non-cost/price factors.

An evaluation for acceptability will be performed on each proposal received by the deadline with FAR 15.101-

2(b)(3). The proposal that provides the lowest overall price and is otherwise technically acceptable (LPTA) in all factors will be selected for award. To be considered technically acceptable, no technical factor in the proposal may be determined to be unacceptable. The failure of a proposal to meet any of the factors will result in a technically unacceptable rating and preclude award. Exchanges with offerors may occur. The Government intends to award without discussions, but discussions may occur, when necessary, after a competitive range is established.

Past Performance history shall be evaluated for each vendor and their supplier’s past performance history in the Past

Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). The Government will review the experience forms submitted as well as all CPARS, ACASS, CCASS evaluations regardless of project and past performance questionnaires for projects submitted. Vendors and their suppliers whose proposal having anything other than an “Unsatisfactory” rating in PPIRS are considered eligible under this evaluation criteria.

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 information provided by the Offeror. Additionally, all offers will be analyzed for unbalanced mailto:Julie.S.Hill@usace.army,mil mailto:Brian.C.Hutchison@usace.army.mil pricing in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g) and may be rejected if it is determined that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

(5) Do not include exceptions or deviations to the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the technical or price proposal. Should the offer include any standard company terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, the offer may be determined "unacceptable" and thus ineligible for award. Should the offeror have any questions related to specific terms and conditions, these should be resolved prior to submission of the offer. If the Offeror must make any assumptions prior to submitting the proposal, the Offeror shall list and describe in detail the assumptions on the first page of each Tab. All assumptions shall be fully supported with the Offeror’s rationale and shall fully explain the impact, if any, on the performance and/or specific requirement of the RFP. The Offeror shall clearly describe on the Proposal

Cover Sheet submitted with the Price Proposal any assumption to the contractual and/or technical terms and include the monetary impact on the solicitation with the price proposal. Proposal exceptions/deviations will not be considered a part of the contract after award unless specifically approved by the Contracting Officer in writing at the time of contract award.

b. DISCUSSIONS. The Government does not intend to enter into discussions with offerors prior to making an award. Offerors are encouraged to present their best technical proposal and prices in their initial proposal submission. However, in accordance with FAR Part 15.306, should discussions become necessary, the Government reserves the right to hold them. If this occurs, a competitive range will be determined and offerors notified. The competitive range may be limited for purposes of efficiency in accordance with (IAW) FAR Part 15.306(c)(2).

c. COST OR PRICING DATA. Offerors are not required to submit Cost or Pricing Data with their offers.

However, if deemed necessary, supplemental price breakdown information will be used to assist the Government in performing the price evaluation. This will not be requested until after the initial proposal submission.

d. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.

(1) Submit only the electronic files specifically authorized and/or required elsewhere in this section. Do not submit excess information, to include audio-visual materials, electronic media, etc.

(2) Proposal materials shall be submitted in electronic format as shown below (see paragraph entitled

Tables of content, proposal cover letters, and tabs between proposal information do not count toward any page limitations in the proposal.

(4) Detailed Submission Requirements for the Technical Proposal. The following is a detailed description of the information to be submitted under each TAB.

(a) TAB 1: FACTOR 1, RELEVANT SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE:

Demonstrate the experience of the offeror and/or proposed team, including sub-contractors, on projects same/similar to that described in the solicitation for same/similar construction services. If using subcontractors as part of the proposed team to demonstrate experience, describe the role they will play in this project and the percentage of work they will perform.

The Offeror shall complete a minimum of four (4), “Experience Information” forms (Attachment 1), attached at the end of this section, in response to this factor. All blocks must be filled in and all data should be accurate, current, and complete. All projects submitted must be at least 50% complete and completed within the last 10 years. At least two (2) of the projects provided must be valued at over $1,000,000. For evaluation purposes, “similar” is defined as regularly engaged in the rehab of large (100 Tons or greater) overhead bridge cranes. This factor is designed to verify the experience of the offeror having been regularly engaged in the rehab of such systems. Particular emphasis should be placed on demonstrating experience in the analysis and load testing of existing cranes.

Project submittal information should clearly illustrate experience in overhead bridge cranes rehab, capacity up-rates and load testing for bridge cranes 100 tons and above. If more than four projects are submitted, only the first four listed in the proposal will be evaluated. Each project cited shall be at least $500, 000 in construction cost and have been completed within ten (10) years from the date that the proposal for this project is due. Only those projects for which the offeror was the prime contractor should be submitted. The government preference is that project examples submitted be of completed projects (i.e. construction complete). Each project summary must include the following for each project: a description of the project; scope; location; firms on the proposed team that constructed the project;

construction contract award amount and final construction cost; the original contract finish date and actual finish date

(if finished). Narratives of each project should include a brief overview of each project and its relevance to this project. All summaries should also contain the name, address, telephone, e-mail, and fax number of a representative of the customer and an alternate individual not affiliated with the proposer and familiar with the proposer’s experience on the project and can verify the experience cited.

If any of the information required is not included in the form then the Offeror will be considered non-responsive and evaluated as unacceptable.

(b) TAB 2: FACTOR 2, KEY SUBCONTRACTORS & KEY PERSONNEL:

By naming these firms and personnel, the Offeror is making a commitment that barring unforeseen circumstances, they are the firms and personnel that will be working on this project. Any substitutions shall be approved by the

Contracting Officer. All key personnel and subcontractor personnel working on this project must be U.S. citizens or documented U.S. workers and must be able to provide proof of U.S. citizenship or other authorized documentation.

(1) Key Subcontractors: Identify the potential Key Subcontractors chosen for mechanical and electrical installation, describing the extent of their involvement in the project. Submit no more than five Specialized

Experience forms (Attachment 1) for each Key Subcontractor. Subcontractors shall be selected from the list of potential subcontractors.

(2) Key Personnel: The Offeror must provide resume data and commitment form (Attachment

4) for the following key construction personnel: Project Manager, Project Scheduler, Quality Control Manager, Commissioning Agent and Site Superintendent, Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO). Minimum qualifications for the Project Manager, Construction site superintendent and Contractor Quality Control (CQC) System Manager shall be as required by Section 01 45 00.00 00 QUALITY CONTROL. SSHO minimum requirements shall be as shown in Section 01 35 26.00 00 GOVERNMENTAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.

Resume information to be provided shall be limited to no more than two (2) pages per person and shall include the following information as a minimum:

(i) Name and title

(ii) Project assignment

(iii) Name of firm with which associated

(iv) Years of experience with this firm and with other firms

(v) Education degree(s), year, specialization, if applicable

(vi) Active professional registration, year first registered, if applicable

(vii) Other experience and qualifications relevant to same/similar work required under this contract

(c) TAB 3: FACTOR 3, PAST PERFORMANCE:

For each project submitted, Offerors shall submit available performance documentation. If no performance documentation is available, state so on the project information worksheet. The Government will review the experience forms submitted as well as query the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (to include

ACASS, CCASS, and CPARS) to validate past performance ratings on Department of Defense contracts and any other past performance information the Government deems necessary to evaluate a contractor’s past performance.

Firms without a history of past performance will be given a neutral rating. For non-Corps of Engineers contracts, provide a copy of the performance rating issued by the contracting agent.

For each project that does not have a final ACASS, CCASS, or CPARS evaluation, Offerors shall provide a questionnaire (See Attachment 2) to the point of contact, clearly identifying the project to be evaluated. A sample

Past Performance Evaluation Questionnaire is included at the end of this section. When completed, these forms shall be submitted in the proposal package. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that the reference documentation is provided in their submissions

The information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the offeror’s past performance. If any negative past performance information is received, the contractor will be given an opportunity to provide rebuttal.

Each contractor shall provide at least three (3) past performance ratings. Any rating an offeror has in ACASS, CCASS, and CPARS for the projects listed under Factor 1 will count toward this requirement. The offeror is responsible for ensuring that the proposal contains a minimum of three (3) questionnaires or has provided written notification to the KO that they have current ratings in ACASS, CCASS, and CPARS. Entities that have no past customers shall notify the KO in writing, prior to the date and time established for the RFP closing, that they have had no previous clients and that the minimum number of questionnaires cannot be provided. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that the reference documentation is provided, as the Government may not make additional requests for past performance information from the references. The evaluation form shall be provided in the proposal. Do not request past performance questionnaires on projects that have final ACASS, CCASS, or

CPARS evaluations. If a past performance questionnaire is received on a project where a final ACASS, CCASS, or CPARS evaluation exists, the ACASS, CCASS, or CPARS evaluation will serve as the official rating of record for evaluation purposes.

The Government may contact references provided as part of Factor 1 – Relevant Specialized Experience, for information regarding the offeror’s past performance on the project and for the purposes of assessing and verifying the scope of the work performed. Offerors should provide accurate, current, and complete contact information for references provided in the project descriptions. The Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information

System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (ESRS), and any other sources not provided by the offeror.

Part II. EVALUATION OF OFFEROR PROPOSALS

2. SOURCE SELECTION USING THE LOW-PRICED, TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE PROCESS. An evaluation for acceptability will be performed on the low price proposal in accordance with FAR 15.101-2(b)(3).

The proposal that provides the lowest overall price and is otherwise technically acceptable in all factors will be selected for award. To be considered technically acceptable, no technical factor in the proposal may be determined to be unacceptable. The failure of a proposal to meet any of the factors will result in a technically unacceptable rating and preclude award.

2.1 BASIS OF AWARD. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors of the base proposal. Tradeoffs are not permitted.

Proposals will be evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using non-cost/price factors.

2.2 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 information provided by the Offeror. Additionally, all offers will be analyzed for unbalanced pricing in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g) and may be rejected if it is determined that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

b. The otherwise technically-acceptable, lowest-priced offeror may be required to confirm its price on either a

CLIN, element, or total price basis, and/or provide additional information in support of their price, prior to contract award at the Government’s request and discretion.

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

a. FACTOR 1: RELEVANT SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: The Government will review the experience of the contractor on projects provided in response to Factor 1. Offerors must meet all of the following minimum acceptability standards to receive an “ACCEPTABLE” on this factor:

(1) Proposed team must have at least four (4) projects that are same/similar to that of the work found in this solicitation; AND

(2) At least two (2) of the projects submitted must be valued at over $1,000,000, and they must have been at least 50% complete within the last 10 years.

Failure to demonstrate the minimally acceptability standards under this factor will result in a “Non-Acceptable” rating and possible elimination from further consideration for contract award.

b. FACTOR 2: KEY SUBCONTRACTORS AND KEY PERSONNEL: The Government will review the resumes provided in response to Factor 2. Offerors must demonstrate all of the following minimum acceptability standards to receive an “Acceptable” on this factor.

The offeror must demonstrate in all resumes that the key personnel proposed have:

(1) A minimum experience as required by the specified sections (see Section 01 45 00.00 00

QUALITY CONTROL and Section 01 35 26.00 00 GOVERNMENTAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS).

If none is specified, all personnel shall have a minimum of 5 year specialized experience in their field;

AND

(2) Experience on projects same/similar to the work in this solicitation working in the position they are assigned to under this contract.

Failure to demonstrate the minimally acceptability standards under this factor will result in a “Non- Acceptable” rating and possible elimination from further consideration for contract award.

c. FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE:

The Government will review the experience forms submitted as well as all CPARS, ACASS, CCASS evaluations regardless of project and past performance questionnaires for projects submitted under Factor 1. The

Government may contact points of contacts listed on the “Experience Information” forms submitted under Factor

1. Offerors must demonstrate the following minimum acceptability standards:

Any identified element or overall rating that is LESS than MARGINAL for past performance in the last 3 years OR for any project submitted under Factor 1, shall result in an 'Unacceptable' rating and elimination from further consideration for contract award.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)).

Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability “Unknown” shall be considered “acceptable”

3. GENERAL TECHNICAL CRITERIA

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

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

c. The Government cannot make award based on a deficient offer. Therefore, receipt of a “Non-Acceptable” 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. Note: It is the

Government’s intent to award without discussions.

d. If awarded the contract, the Contractor shall construct the project in accordance with the plans and specifications issued with this RFP.
