Unacceptable. Offerors receiving one technically “unacceptable” rating will be deemed overall technically “unacceptable” and will not be considered for award. Offerors must receive an

“acceptable” rating on both technical factors to be considered for award.

The Government reserves the right to enter into discussions. In the event that discussions are not necessary then we intend to award without discussions, to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation and is determined to be the lowest price, technically acceptable (LPTA) proposal.

8.0 SOURCE SELECTION PROCESS

All offers 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 using the LPTA process. The process is designed to ensure the impartial, equitable, and comprehensive evaluation of all technically acceptable, responsible proposals received in response to this particular solicitation.

Source Selection Team

The Source Selection Team 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 organization is designed to ensure active ongoing involvement of appropriate contracting, technical, logistics, legal, price analysis, small business, and other functional staff management expertise.

Source Selection Procedure

The source selection procedures will begin with an initial review of proposals received in response to the Request for Proposal (RFP) and continue with a technical and price evaluation conducted by the

SSEB. The SSEB shall evaluate the proposals based solely on the evaluation criteria identified below. The results of the SSEB evaluations will be presented to the SSA for decision of award.

To be considered Acceptable, each offeror shall specifically address each of the evaluation factors.

Sufficient detail shall be provided, citing specific data as may be required, such that the proposal may be adequately evaluated. The proposal must show clearly that the offeror has an understanding of the work tasks required and has the capability and responsibility to accomplish the work.

VOLUME 1, TAB B – FACTOR 2 - Performance Confidence.

Submission Requirements

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. design firms, key subcontractors, Joint Venture Partners, whose experience is being relied on in Factor 1.

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Example projects meet all of the requirements described in the Evaluation

Criteria above for Factor 1.

Unacceptable Example projects do not meet any one of the requirements described in the

Evaluation Criteria above for Factor 1.

If a final CPARS has been executed a PPQ is not requested or required. Otherwise, the offeror shall provide a Past Performance Questionnaire (Form PPQ-0) included in the solicitation to a representative of the owner that can provide the owner’s opinion of the offeror’s past performance for relevant projects. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the

Government’s point of contact, Carol Hodges via email at Carol.W.Hodges@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) 389-3730.

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. The Project Number and Project Name should be placed in the top left hand corner of each page of the Past Performance Data corresponding to that project submitted by the offeror. 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-0, 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.

Evaluation Criteria:

PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT

The past performance evaluation will result in an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements.

In reviewing each past performance effort by the offeror, the SST will first evaluate whether the recent effort is relevant to the work required by this solicitation. The relevancy determination will be based on the Factor 1 Evaluation Criteria above. Each past performance effort will be assigned one of the levels of relevancy shown in Table 2:

Table 2. Performance Confidence Relevancy Ratings

In conducting the performance confidence assessment, the offeror shall be assigned one of the ratings in Table 3.

NOTE: If an offeror has no relevant past performance or no information on past performance is available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. A neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

Relevant Past Performance effort met that have at least experience in replacing

Portland Concrete , and installing High Density Polyethylene Pipe or

Corrugated Metal Pipe.

Not Relevant Past Performance effort did not meet experience in replacing Portland

Concrete, and installing High Density Polyethylene Pipe or Corrugated

Metal Pipe.

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.
