PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS EVALUATION CRITERIA AND BASIS OF AWARD

ONE STEP - -TRADE-OFF PROCUREMENT, DESIGN BID BUILD (SINGLE AWARD)

1. EVALUATION PROCEDURES:

The objective of this evaluation is to evaluate the proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein and award a firm fixed price construction contract to the responsible Offeror whose proposal conforms to the terms and conditions of the solicitation and whose proposal is determined to represent the overall “Best Value Trade-off” to the Government. All evaluation factors, other than price, when combined, are considered significantly more important than the price. After the Government individually evaluates and rates each proposal, the Government will compare proposals to determine which proposal represents the best value. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offers. If there is a lower priced, conforming offer(s), the Government must determine that the added value of a more expensive proposal would justify award to that Offeror.

The Offeror’s proposal shall contain a response to all Factors (Company Experience, Past Performance, Management, Small Business, and Price); shall be in the form prescribed herein; and shall meet the minimum submittal requirements stated.

In accordance with FAR 15.306(a)(3) the Government intends to evaluate proposals and make award without discussions. An Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a technical and price standpoint. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offers.

The Government will not award a contract to an Offeror whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR

15.0001. Penalty for making false statements in proposals is prescribed in 18 U.S.C. 1001.

As part of the evaluation, the Government will evaluate betterments in proposals relative to the minimum standards in the solicitation to determine if they offer additional value to the Government. In addition, innovations in proposals will be evaluated to determine if creative ideas of the Offeror are a better value to the Government compared to the minimum criteria.

Submit proposals in tabbed, three-ring binders. Note that the Government will not evaluate any material that exceeds the page limits, where indicated below.

2. DEFINITIONS:

Deficiency: A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

Relevant: “Relevant” means having a logical connection with the requirements in this solicitation; that is, featuring work that involved similar scope, magnitude of effort, and complexity to the current requirement.

Risk: The potential for unsuccessful contract performance. The consideration of risk assesses the degree to which an Offeror’s proposed approach to achieving the technical factor or criterion may involve risk of disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance.

Shall: Indicates mandatory solicitation requirements. If not included in the Offeror’s proposal the proposal may be deemed to not meet solicitation requirements and may be rejected.

Should: Indicates solicitation requirements that are highly recommended to be included in the Offeror’s proposal.

Significant Strength: An aspect of an Offeror's proposal that has appreciable merit or appreciably exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be appreciably advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

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

Strength: An aspect of a proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Team: The Offeror’s “team” is the Key Personnel and any subcontracting firms, taken as a whole.

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

3. TECHNICAL MERIT RATINGS:

The technical rating reflects the degree to which the proposed approach meets, or does not meet, the minimum performance or capability requirements through an assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies, and risks of a proposal. Proposals will receive ratings in accordance with the adjectival descriptions below. The combined technical/risk rating includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies.

Combined technical/risk evaluations shall utilize the combined technical/risk ratings listed in Table 1 below.

TABLE 1. Combined Technical/Risk Ratings for Evaluation of Factors

RATING: DESCRIPTION:

Outstanding Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

Good Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths that outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal

Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not clearly demonstrated adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses that are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is non-awardable.

The technical risk ratings is listed in Table 2 below.

TABLE 2. TECHNICAL RISK RATINGS

Adjectival Rating

Description

Low 2

Moderate

Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which may potentially cause disruption of schedule or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome difficulties.

High

Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which is likely to cause significant disruption of schedule or degradation of performance. Is unlikely to overcome any difficulties, even with special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring.

Unacceptable Proposal contains a material failure or a combination of significant weaknesses that increases the risk of unsuccessful performance to an unacceptable level.

Note: Price will not be rated or scored, but will be evaluated for reasonableness through the use of a price analysis, and if necessary, for price realism.

4. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED:

The basis of contract award will be the Tradeoff Process in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.101-1. Award will be made to the Offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of evaluation Factors described below.
