3.0 PHASE ONE: PROPOSAL AND RELATED EVALUATION FACTORS

Location Factor Number Description Relative Importance

TAB A Factor 1 Past Performance All technical factors when combined are approximately equal in importance to price

4.0 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

TAB A – FACTOR 1 - PAST PERFORMANCE

Past Performance Risk Ratings assess the risks associated with an Offeror's likelihood of success in performing the requirements stated in the RFP based on the Offeror's demonstrated performance on recent, relevant contracts:

Rating Guidelines for Factor 1: Refer to Table 1 and Table 2, above (Section III).

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 (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral confidence”) past performance.

RELEVANT PAST PERFORMANCE:

Contractor should submit at least three (3) but no more than five (5) projects total. The projects should be similar to the project as described in this solicitation in scope, magnitude and complexity. All projects must have been completed no later than ten (10) years preceding the date of this solicitation.

SIMILAR PROJECTS ARE DEFINED AS:

Relevant Scope: Projects containing the construction elements consisting of Landfill Capping, Earthwork Placement and or Stabilization of Shorelines.

Relevant Magnitude projects of at least one (1) million dollars in construction value.

Relevant Complexity: A project involving disciplines including, but not limited to, Geotechnical Engineering and Environmental Engineering to accomplish the scope of work outlined in the RFP.

The Government will evaluate the extent of recent, related experience of the contractor. Federal Government project experience will not be rated inherently more important than non-Federal Government project experience.

The government may give additional consideration for the following:

a. Projects demonstrating experience working at Pituffik SB and with USACE.

b. Projects demonstrating experience in cold weather construction

c. Projects demonstrating limited/dictated supply deliveries for construction materials and equipment

d. Prime contractor experience working as a prime contractor

Projects demonstrating self-performance by the prime contractor

The government will not award to an Offeror that receives an unacceptable rating in this factor.

Past performance relevancy ratings.

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating Description

Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

PAST PERFORMANCE (CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT RATING SYSTEM)

Past Performance Risk Ratings assess the risks associated with an Offeror's likelihood of success in performing the requirements stated in the RFP based on the Offeror's demonstrated performance on recent, relevant contracts. Performance Confidence Assessment (Overall) Rating System:

Performance Confidence Assessments Rating Definition

Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available, or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the facto of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Based on the Offeror’s recent relevant performance record, the Government will make a determination as to the expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort. A performance confidence assessment rating will be assigned.

Where no recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror will receive an Neutral Confidence rating. This rating is neither favorable nor unfavorable.

TAB B – STANDARD FORM 1442 AND PRO FORMA DATA SHEET

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Must contain a Proposal Cover Sheet, to include the Offeror’s e-mail address, cell phone number, Name, Address, UEI, and CAGE code. The proposal cover sheet is required by Provision “FAR 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors— Competitive Acquisition.”

5.0 PHASE 1 EVALUATION PROCEDURES

5.1 SOURCE SELECTION TEAM (SST)

The SST will be established to conduct the evaluation of proposals received in response to this solicitation. The evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal, proposal corrections and any information obtained from other sources, e.g. past performance information. The SST will not consider any proposal incorporated by reference, except as expressly allowed by this solicitation.

5.2 EVALUATION

The SST will evaluate the proposals and assign a consensus rating for each evaluation factor. Offerors are cautioned to put forth their best efforts for the Phase One submission, and to furnish all information clearly to allow the Government to determine their performance capability. Offerors should not assume that they will have an opportunity to clarify or correct anything in their proposal after submitting it in response to Phase One. The Government will determine the (up to 5) top best qualified firms and ask that they submit a Phase Two proposal.

Phase One successful Offerors and unsuccessful Offerors will be notified upon completion of Phase One evaluations.

5.3 DEFINITIONS

5.3.1 Deficiency: A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. A proposal containing a “deficiency” is un-awardable.

5.3.2 Weakness: A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

5.3.3 Significant Weakness: A flaw in the proposal that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

5.3.4 Strength: Any aspect of a proposal that, when judged against a stated evaluation criterion enhances the merit of the proposal or increases the probability of successful performance of the contract.

5.3.5 Significant Strength: A significant strength appreciably enhances the merit of a proposal or appreciably enhances the probability of successful contract performance.

5.4 EVALUATION AND RATING SYSTEM

General: The Government will review the proposals and rate the quality of each evaluation factor. The SST will rate each proposal against the specified evaluation criteria in the solicitation requirements. They will not compare proposals at this time. After all proposals are rated, the Government will compare the ratings and relative advantages and disadvantages of proposals against each other in order to rank order the Offerors based on the judgment of the SST and present their findings to the Source Selection Authority.

Review Write-up: The Government will support each rating with a discussion, separately listing all strengths or advantages, weaknesses or disadvantages, deficiencies, and required clarifications.
