PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS EVALUATION CRITERIA AND BASIS OF 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 RFP and whose proposal is determined to represent the overall “Best Value Tradeoff” to the Government in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.101-1.

All evaluation factors, other than price, when combined, are considered significantly more important than price. Award will be made to the Offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the Evaluation Factors. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offers.

The Offeror’s technical proposal shall contain a response to the following non-price Factors (Company Experience, Past Performance and Management). Please see below for submission requirements and evaluation method. Your technical proposal (Volume 1) will be due at the specified date indicated in Standard Form 1442.

To clarify, this is a Bifurcated RFP Procurement Process. (Please see the Bifurcated Section within this RFP for more details). At a later date, an Amendment will be issued directly to only those Offerors which submitted the technical proposal. This Amendment (and all later Amendments) will NOT be posted to FBO.gov. This Amendment will provide the price schedule and submittal instructions for Factor 4 and Subcontracting Plan (if applicable) and the price proposal. (Volumes 2 and 3)

In accordance with FAR 15.306(a)(3) the Government intends to evaluate the proposals and make award without discussions. An Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a technical (Volume 1) and factor 4/price (Volumes 2 and 3 at a later date). 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 15.001. Penalty for making false statements in proposals is prescribed in 18 U.S.

Code § 1001.

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:

Complexity: Complexity: Construction of a facility with sequencing of multiple work features. Examples of multiple work features include civil, mechanical, and electrical.

Deficiency: A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government’s requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal which raises the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

Recency: As it pertains to past performance information, is a measure of the time that has elapsed since the past performance reference occurred. Recency is generally expressed as a time period during which past performance references are considered relevant.

Relevancy: As it pertains to past performance information, is a measure of the extent of similarity between the service/support effort, complexity, dollar value, contract type, and subcontract/teaming or other comparable attributes of past performance examples and the source RFP requirements; and a measure of the likelihood that the past performance is an indicator of future performance.

Relevant: “Relevant” means having a logical connection with the requirements in this RFP; that is, featuring work that involved similar scope, magnitude, and complexity to the current requirement. Please also note any definitions for relevant within the evaluation criteria.

Risk: As it pertains to source selection, it is 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, degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance.

Shall: Indicates a mandatory requirement(s). If this requirement is not met in the Offeror’s proposal, it will be considered a deficiency.

Should: Indicates a RFP requirement(s) that are highly recommended to be included in the…
