7.0 BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government reserves the right to enter into discussions. In the event that discussions are not necessary then the Government intends to award without discussions, to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation and is determined to be the Best Value to the Government, utilizing the tradeoff process.

The technical factors, when combined are significantly more important than the Cost Factor. Factor 1 – Company Experience is the most important. Factors 2 and 3 are less important than Factor 1, and approximately equal to each other. Offerors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the offeror providing the lowest priced proposal.

8.0 SOURCE SELECTION PROCESS

All proposals received in response to this solicitation will be evaluated in accordance with informal source selection procedures. The principal objective of this process is to select a responsible offeror who submits the offer that is the Best Value to the Government, utilizing the tradeoff process. The process is designed to ensure the impartial, equitable, and comprehensive evaluation of all proposals received in response to this solicitation.

(a) Source Selection Organization

The source selection organization is established as a separate organization and management chain of command whose only purpose is to accomplish the objective above. The organization consists of a Source Selection Authority (SSA) and a Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB). The SSEB is comprised of separate Technical Evaluation and Price Evaluation teams. The organization is designed to ensure active ongoing involvement of appropriate contracting, technical, logistics, legal, price analysis, small business, and other functional staff management expertise.

(b) Source Selection Procedure

The source selection procedures will begin with an initial review of proposals and continue with a technical and cost evaluation conducted by the SSEB. The SSEB shall evaluate the proposals based solely on the evaluation criteria identified above. The proposals received in response to this solicitation will be evaluated individually to select the most advantageous proposal. The Government reserves the right to consider and evaluate information regarding past performance from sources outside the proposal. The results of the SSEB evaluations will be presented to the SSA, who will make the final source selection decision or determine whether it is appropriate to engage in clarifications or communications prior to the establishment of a competitive range, or to establish a competitive range and conduct discussions with those offerors that are included in the competitive range. All communications leading to establishment of the competitive range will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15.306(b).

If a competitive range is established, discussions will be conducted with offerors who are included in the competitive range. After conclusion of discussions and receipt of final revised proposals (if applicable), the SSEB will complete the evaluation and establish the final technical ratings and present them to the SSA.

The SSA will then review the proposals and make the final source selection decision.

The Government is not responsible for information overlooked during the evaluation which is not located in the appropriate proposal section.

To ensure the evaluation credit is appropriately received for proposal material submitted, do not incorporate by reference documents not contained in the proposal.

9.0 DEBRIEFING OFFERORS

Offerors may request a debriefing in accordance with FAR 15.505 Pre-award Debriefing of Offerors, and FAR

15.506 Post-award Debriefing of offerors.

Submission Requirements

The offeror shall submit a project portfolio of up to five (5) relevant projects to be evaluated for this factor. If more than five projects are submitted, only the first five projects will be evaluated. A project is defined as work performed at one site, or at a single installation. An Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) is not a project. The projects should describe the specific work, identify whether it was performed as the prime, or subcontractor. The projects should demonstrate experience with similar contaminants, materials and construction techniques necessary to complete the requirements included under this solicitation. Cost and schedule control methods employed during the projects should also be described. A project will be considered relevant only if it is similar in size, scope, and complexity to the work described in this solicitation. These projects must have been completed in the five (5) year period preceding the date of this solicitation or started within the past five (5) year period and be at least 50% complete at the time of this solicitation.

Projects included in the portfolio shall demonstrate the breadth and depth of the offeror’s experience as it relates to the work described in this solicitation.

The offeror shall use the form provided below in providing this information.

If the offeror is a Joint Venture combining two or more companies, state whether each project was performed by the same Joint Venture. Each member of a Joint Venture shall demonstrate experience commensurate with its proposed role on this project.

The Government may contact and interview project references. Reference information will not be revealed to other parties

Project Description

VOLUME 1, FACTOR 2 - Past Performance.

For each of the projects submitted under Factor 1, the offeror shall provide a Past Performance Questionnaire (Form PPQ) included in the solicitation to a representative of the owner that can provide the owner’s opinion of the offeror’s past performance for the project. Completed PPQ forms should be submitted with your proposal. The PPQ does not have to be sent directly from the client. If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, Shelley Thomas via email at Shelley.Thomas@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date. The offeror is responsible for ensuring that the completed questionnaires are submitted by the closing date. If you have questions regarding the attached questionnaire, or require assistance, please contact the Contract Specialist at (816) 389-3552.

For each of the projects submitted under Factor 1, to ensure the agency has all relevant past performance information, the offeror also should submit copies of Federal/DoD/Navy/Army performance reviews that are likely already in the agency’s databases or likely within the agency’s arm’s reach, i.e., Contractor’s copy of CCASS or CPARS evaluations. To improve accuracy of database searches, the offeror will also provide the CAGE Codes for the prime contractor and all teaming partners, i.e. key subcontractors, Joint Venture Partners, whose experience is being relied upon for Factor 1.

Offerors should organize all Past Performance Information based on the Factor 1 Projects, which normally have project titles and are numbered 1-5, so that reviewers can match the owner’s opinion with the corresponding Factor 1 Project. There is no page limit for this factor.

The Government will evaluate the responses from the customers from which Past Performance Questionnaires have been received. The Government may contact and interview the owner’s representative on the PPQ, and reserves the right to interview other individuals acting for the owner’s representative, if the owner’s representative is not available. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the offeror.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Past performance information may be obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency.

At no time during this process, nor during the debriefing, nor after award, will the names of the individuals providing reference information about an offeror’s past performance be revealed to the offerors or to any other party. If discussions are held, offerors may be afforded the opportunity to respond to adverse comments made by references in accordance with guidelines identified in FAR Part 15.3. In this case, comments will be extracted and provided to the offeror. Copies of the questionnaires will not be furnished to the offeror and will remain confidential.

ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT

YOUR EVALUATION OF THE CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating.

Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory Performance meets minimum contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract.

There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

(U) Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable No information or did not apply to your contract Rating will be neither positive nor negative.
