(d) Alternate offers. (1) When an offer includes foreign construction material, other than designated country construction material, that is not listed by the Government in this solicitation in paragraph (b)(3) of FAR clause 52.225-11, the offeror also may submit an alternate offer based on use of equivalent domestic or designated country construction material.

(2) If an alternate offer is submitted, the offeror shall submit a separate Standard Form 1442 for the alternate offer, and a separate price comparison table prepared in accordance with paragraphs (c) and (d) of FAR clause 52.225-11 for the offer that is based on the use of any foreign construction material for which the Government has not yet determined an exception applies.

(3) If the Government determines that a particular exception requested in accordance with paragraph (c) of FAR clause 52.225-11 does not apply, the Government will evaluate only those offers based on use of the equivalent domestic or designated country construction material, and the offeror shall be required to furnish such domestic or designated country construction material. An offer based on use of the foreign construction material for which an exception was requested-- (i) Will be rejected as nonresponsive if this acquisition is conducted by sealed bidding; or

(ii) May be accepted if revised during negotiations.

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 Offeror 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.

2.1 PROPOSAL EVALUATION

2.2 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.

2.3 Pricing Evaluation:

In accordance with FAR provision 52.217-5, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Additionally, the prices for the base and option line items will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness through the use of a price analysis. The prices for the base and option items will also be checked for unbalancing of line items.

The low offeror shall be determined as follows—

1) 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.

2) The Government will award to the technically acceptable lowest priced offeror and lowest price is determined by totaling the base items and option items.

3.1 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.

3.2 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) Relevant: “Relevant” is defined as having a logical connection with the requirements in this request for technical proposals; that is, featuring work that is similar in nature, magnitude, and complexity to the current requirement. To be acceptable, there must be an explanation of how the provided project information is relevant to the proposed work.

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

3.3 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.

3.4 Submission Format: (Please refer to Section 00 21 16 for number of required copies)
