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.

2.0 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.

2.2 Price 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.

3.0 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 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:

See Section 00 21 16 for Proposal Submission Instructions and Proposal Characteristics.

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:

Para. 5.2.3 1 X 2 X X 3 X

5.3 Evaluation Method for Factor A:

Factor A will be evaluated to determine whether it meets the requirements of this factor. If any of the required information is not provided in the Offeror’s proposal, the Offeror will be evaluated as “Unacceptable.” The Government reserves the right to verify the experience record of cited projects or other recent projects by reviewing the Past Performance Information Retrieval system (PPIRS) which includes the CCASS/ACASS ratings, other DOD or Government appraisal systems. The Government may check any or all cited references to verify supplied information.

TABLE 3: FACTOR A - RELEVANT EXPERIENCE OF OFFEROR/PRIME

Acceptable The proposal clearly demonstrates how at least one of the project examples submitted meets the requirements of paragraph 5.2.

Unacceptable The proposal does not clearly demonstrate how at least one of the project examples submitted meets the requirements of paragraph 5.2.

6.0 FACTOR B – Past Performance

6.1 Submission Requirements for Factor B:

The project examples submitted for Paragraph 5.2 will be used for evaluation of Past Performance. DO NOT provide Past Performance references for projects other than those project examples provided for Factor A.

If a completed interim and/or final Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluation is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal. Offeror shall not submit a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) when a completed CPARS evaluation is available. If both are submitted, only the CPARS will be evaluated.

Completed PPQs should be submitted with your proposal ONLY if a CPARS evaluation is not available. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the Offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ (Attachment 4), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offeror should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires.

If the client requests, PPQs may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact, Shawna West, via email at shawna.west@usace.army.mil prior to the proposal closing date. The Offeror shall instruct the clients to refer to the solicitation number in the subject line. The PPQs are Source Selection materials. All successfully submitted PPQs will receive an e-mail confirmation upon receipt. If the Offeror does not receive the confirmation, it is their responsibility to follow up to ensure the Government has received the information.

Offeror shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs or CPARS previously submitted for other solicitations. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted past performance information in the past performance evaluation.

Offeror may provide explanation on problems encountered on past projects and the corrective actions taken by the Offeror.

6.2 Evaluation Method for Factor B: The method of rating for Factor B shall be as follows:
