Section 00 24 00 - Evaluation Factors for Award

SECTION 00 24 00

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1.0 BASIS OF AWARD

Award of this Contract will be made to the technically acceptable responsible Offeror submitting the lowest priced offer – Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable Offer (LPTA). This acquisition will result in the award of a firm-fixed price, construction contract.

The technical evaluation of each proposal will be solely on the basis of Technical Evaluation Factors found in this section. The Government will evaluate each proposal on a technically acceptable/unacceptable basis only with respect to the technical evaluation factors (criteria) described herein. Award will be to the Offer who presents the technically acceptable proposal with the overall total lowest price. It is the intent of the Government to award off initial offers without discussions.

2.0 PROPOSAL EVALUATION

2.1 Technical Evaluation:

Acceptability will be based on all factors receiving an acceptable rating. The proposal will be evaluated according to the CRITERIA for Non-Price Evaluation Factors of this section.

Proposals will receive either an ACCEPTABLE or an UNACCEPTABLE rating for each of the evaluation factors.

Find the description of these ratings in Table 1.

TABLE 1: TECHNICAL ACCEPTABLE/UNACCEPTABLE RATINGS

Rating: Description:

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

3.0 EVALUATION PROCESS:

The evaluation process consists of three parts:

1) Proposal Compliance Review. This is an initial review to ensure that all required forms and certifications are complete and that a complete proposal is received. An initial review of each of the proposals will be conducted to check for apparent errors, omissions and areas that require clarification. The purpose of this preliminary review session is to eliminate minor irregularities or apparent clerical mistakes. This preliminary evaluation will ensure that each proposal contains the Price Volume II and the correct number of copies.

2) Relevant Experience and Past Performance. Relevant Experience and Past Performance will be evaluated according to the CRITERIA for Non-Price Evaluation Factors found in this section.

3) Price Evaluation. The Government will evaluate price for fairness and reasonableness through the use of price analysis. Price will also be verified for unbalancing of line items.

3.1 Definitions:

a) Clarification is a limited exchange with an Offeror for the sole purpose of eliminating minor irregularities, informalities, or apparent clerical mistakes in the proposal or to address adverse past performance not previously addressed with the Offeror. Clarifications do not give an Offeror the opportunity to revise or modify its proposal and are used, as necessary, when not opening discussions.

b) Communications are a limited exchange with an Offeror used to assist in determinations of the competitive range. Communications are limited to enhancing Government understanding of proposals and addressing adverse past performance information not previously addressed if said information is the determining factor preventing an Offeror from being included in the competitive range. Such communications shall not be used to cure proposal deficiencies or material omissions, or otherwise revise the proposal.

c) Discussions offer the opportunity to resolve deficiencies or weaknesses in the proposals, based on the requirement and the evaluations factors set forth in the solicitation. If the Contracting Officer determines it is necessary to open discussions, they must discuss with all Offerors in the competitive range. Offerors have the opportunity to revise their proposals at the conclusion of discussions.

d) Year: A “year” is 365 consecutive calendar days.

3.2 Bid Guarantee:

The Offeror is required to submit a bid guarantee along with its proposal. The bid guarantee shall be included in Volume II of the proposal. Any proposal received without a bid guarantee will be rejected and is ineligible for review by the Government. The amount of the Bid Guarantee shall be twenty (20) percent of the Offeror’s proposed price or $3,000,000.00, whichever is less.

3.3 Submission Format: (Please refer to Section 00 21 00 for number of required copies)

All proposal materials shall be submitted in binders with a table of contents and tabbed section dividers. The sections should parallel the submission requirements identified below. In Volume I, Technical Proposal, there shall be a tabbed section for each Non-Price Evaluation factor. Volume II, Price Proposal, shall be submitted in a clearly marked envelope.

3.3.1 Volume I - Offeror’s Technical Proposal shall include the following sections, in the general format specified below:

4.0 EVALUATION CRITERIA

4.1 CRITERIA for Non-Price Evaluation Factors:

Proposals shall concisely, accurately, and completely provide the information required for each of the following non-price evaluation factors. NOTE: Absence of complete information will be deemed as if no support information was provided for that factor. Proposals that do not meet the minimum requirements of all of the non-price evaluation factors shall be determined to be UNACCEPTABLE and are not eligible for award consideration.

NO assumptions may be made by the Government. Your proposal must CLEARLY demonstrate the requisite technical experience and qualifications to receive an ACCEPTABLE rating for each of the following criteria:

Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS).

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.

NOTE: In the case of an Offeror without a record of past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Offeror’s past performance may not be evaluated as favorable or unfavorable. [Ref:

FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)]. Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

8.0 PRICE:

Price Evaluation:

The prices for the base and deductive alternate line items will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness through the use of a price analysis. The prices for the base and deductive items will also be checked for unbalancing of line items.

The low offeror and the items to be awarded shall be determined as follows—

1) The day prior to the date of submission of proposals, the Government will determine the amount of funds available for this project.

2) Those offerors whose non-priced proposals were determined to be technically acceptable and their offered prices determined fair and reasonable will be eligible for award consideration.

3) The Government will award to the technically acceptable lowest priced offeror and the lowest price is determined as follows:

a. The first priority is to award to the offeror with lowest price for the total of base items if the amount of funds is available for award.

b. The second priority is to award to the offeror with the lowest price after subtracting the total price for all the deductive alternates from the total price for the base items.
