SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been modified:

EVALUATION CRITERIA

I. INTRODUCTION

The intent for this Request for Proposal is to solicit proposals for a contract to fulfill the requirements of the Scope of Work attached to this solicitation. The Washington Aqueduct Dalecarlia Water Treatment Plant has a requirement for Sodium Hypochlorite for use at the Washington Aqueduct’s two water treatment plants (WTPs), Dalecarlia WTP and McMillan WTP.

Offeror’s are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors.

Offerors shall submit in their proposal all requested information specified in this section of the solicitation at or before the exact time specified. If an Offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain and error, ambiguity, omission or are otherwise unsound, the Offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing with supporting rationale.

In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals.

II. BASIS OF AWARD

The Government will award this contract on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis. The Contract will be consist of a three (3) year ordering period. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract.

Overall Relative Order of Important of Evaluation Factors:

• When technical and past performance are combined, they are approximately equal to price.

The evaluation factors are as follows:

Factor I – Technical Capability: the Offeror must provide information as specified in the attached Scope of Work.

Each submittal will be evaluated to ensure requirements are met.

Factor II – Past Performance: An acceptable rating is required to be considered for award. The Offeror must provide information demonstrating that they have already successfully performed as a prime contractor within the last five (5) years of at least two (2) chemical contracts of equal or greater complexity to this solicitation in the minimum price range of $100,000 - $500,000. This information shall be submitted on the Past Performance Contacts Questionnaire (attached) and information requested on this document must be submitted. The Offeror shall submit at least two references, including point of contact name, email address and phone number, that can verify past performance listed in this paragraph. This shall be submitted directly to the Contract Specialist via email at tolulope.o.olojo@usace.army.mil. Failure to do so will deem Offeror non-responsive.

The Past Performance Questionnaire included in this solicitation is provided for the Offeror or its team members to submit to the Contract Specialist for each project the Offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 2 – Past Performance. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact.

Completed Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) should be submitted with your proposal. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before solicitation closing date, the Offeror should complete and submit with the quote the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires.

Questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Contract Specialist (via email) at least 2 days prior to the mailto:tolulope.o.olojo@usace.army.mil solicitation closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFQs. However, this does not preclude the Government’s from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

Offerors may include performance recognition documents received within the last 5 years such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

The Government may review any other sources available to retrieve past performance information. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, ast Performance Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), 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 known sources not provided by the Offeror.

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.

Factor III – Offerors shall insert proposed pricing in the Price Schedule, proposing a price on all proposed items.

The unit prices shall include all markups for providing the specified Sodium Hypochlorite requirements. Markups are defined as all other direct and indirect costs, management, supervision, contractor furnished equipment, material, and supplies, travel, overhead and profit.

The absence of any information required to support the evaluation factors herein and as described below will result in disqualification from competition, as that offer will be found non-responsive and unacceptable. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for the Factors I and II.

III. EVALUATION RATINGS

The following ratings, as defined, will be assessed to the evaluations factors as indicated below.

FACTOR I – Technical Capability Rating Definition

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the RFQ

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the RFQ

FACTOR II – Past Performance Rating Definition

Acceptable

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

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 may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “neutral.”

FACTOR III – Price Price will be evaluated based on technical acceptability.

The Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the delivery schedule or contract price, or both, and the contract shall be modified, in writing, accordingly, if--

(1) The stop-work order results in an increase in the time required for, or in the Contractor's cost properly allocable to, the performance of any part of this contract; and
