BASIS FOR AWARD

1. BASIS OF AWARD. The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation using the evaluation method “Lowest Price Technically Acceptable.” This method is appropriate when best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable offer with the lowest evaluated cost/price. Offers will be evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non-cost/price factors. Evaluation factors and that establish the requirements of acceptability are set forth below. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price

(excluding DBA) of quotes meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors

(FAR 15.101-2).

2. Evaluation Process. The evaluation process consists of three parts; 1) Technical, 2) Past

Performance; and, 3) Price (price will be evaluated separately from technical evaluations). The

Government will evaluate proposals as follows. First, the Government price evaluators will conduct a price reasonableness of overall prices. Second, the Government price evaluators will determine which of the Offers meeting the price reasonableness and align them by total offer price. Third, the Government will select the three (3) lowest priced Offers meeting the price reasonableness and send those three (3) complete offers without price to the technical evaluator(s). The technical (non-pricing) volume(s) of each of these three Offers will be given to the Technical Evaluators for review, without identification of the prices or any rank order of prices. The Technical Evaluation Team will review these three Offers for technical acceptability. If any Offerors are determined to be technically acceptable from this group, the

Offeror with the lowest price technically acceptable offer will be awarded the contract. If, on the other hand, no Offers are found to be technically acceptable within this first group of three (3) offers, then the process described above will be conducted again, as many times as necessary, until such time as the Government identifies a technically acceptable offer.

3. Technical Evaluation. The technical evaluation portion shall consist of Factors 1, Technical, and 2, Past Performance. Technical Acceptability will include a review of each element in Factor

1 – Technical (Specifications) and Factor 2 - Past Performance. Each Offeror’s response will be evaluated and rated on each criteria element. The technical evaluation will evaluate whether the

Offeror has proposed on all requirements outlined in the Statement of Work, Instruction to

Offerors, and attached Materials List identified within this solicitation.

FACTOR 1 – Technical. Technical criteria consist of the following sub-factors:

1) Primary Component - Material List

2) Project Schedule – Project Schedule will be evaluated for construction phases and completion dates.

3) Key Personnel. Key personnel will be evaluated through information contained in the written proposals and resumes. The key personnel include those defined in the Statement of Work section 1.5.12. The information presented in the Offeror’s resume will provide the input for evaluation of this factor. The

Government will evaluate the following elements when evaluating the Offeror’s

Key Personnel:

a) Experience - The Government will evaluate the years of experience and appropriateness of the skill sets of each proposed personnel to successfully perform in this contract and the relevancy of the proposed personnel experiences to the requirements for this contract. As required by the Government, project engineer/architect shall have at least five (5) years of experience. Field and design engineers/architects shall have at least five (5) years of experience with projects of a similar type and magnitude. The project superintendent/foreman shall have at least three

(3) years of experience in the construction field. The Contractor’s quality control representative shall have at least three (3) years as a quality control inspector in the construction field.

b) Professional Registration – The project engineer/architect and the field and design engineers/architects shall have a valid Uruguayan professional registration issued by a university in Uruguay.

In order for Factor 1-Technical to be rated acceptable, sub-factors 1, 2 and 3 must be rated acceptable.

FACTOR 2 - Past Performance: - The Government will evaluate the construction projects or contracts submitted in order to evaluate past performance. Past performance relates to how well a Contractor has performed on previous contracts. The Government may contact references to verify past performance. In order to be considered for award, the offeror’s past performance rating must be evaluated as acceptable. Offeror shall present evidence of the offeror’s and/or their sub-contractors past performance on at least two (2) similar projects and may be submitted in Spanish. Past Performance from any of the sources listed under FAR

13.106-2(b)(3)(ii) may be used to evaluate past performance of prospective offerors.

Past Performance Evaluation Rating

Acceptable Rating - Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Rating - Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note - 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 shall not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance and will be considered “acceptable.”

4. PRICE EVALUATION PROCESS. The low Offeror and the items to be awarded shall be determined as the offeror that provides the lowest overall cost, excluding DBA Insurance. Price analysis will be performed IAW FAR15.404-1(b)(2) to make a fair and reasonable price determination. Pricing shall be evaluated for the entire amount of requested items. The contracting officer is responsible for the determination of price reasonableness. Price reasonableness is a judgment of the proposed price as compared to competitive prices received, current market conditions, Independent Government Cost Estimates (IGCE) historical prices, or information other than certified cost or pricing data or other relevant measures. The Government may utilize any one or a combination of these techniques to determine that prices are fair and reasonable.

5. TECHNICAL MERIT ADJECTIVAL RATING SCHEME. Any factor or sub-factor rated as “unacceptable” will result in an overall factor rating of “unacceptable”. The following is the Technical Merit Adjectival Rating Scheme for evaluation of Technical Proposal:

Acceptable – Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable – Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.
