Section 00 22 16 - Evaluation Factors for Award

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 (based on the total of all line items on the Bid Schedule) – 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 Pricing Evaluation

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all line items, including optional items, identified on the Contract Line Item Schedule (Price-Schedule), Section 00 11 00 of this Solicitation.

3.0 EVALUATION PROCESS

The evaluation process consists of three parts:

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.

Technical Review. 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.

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

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 of modify its proposal and are used, as necessary, when not opening discussions.

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.

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.

A Project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique result. Submit only projects that demonstrate Relevant Experience required under Factor A and Past Performance required under

Factor B. Submit projects performed under C-type contracts or task orders; do not submit base or umbrella IDIQ contracts as projects.

Year is defined as 365 consecutive days.

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:

TABLE 2: EVALUATION

FACTORS

LOCATION DESCRIPTION

FACTOR A VOLUME 1, TAB A RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

FACTOR B VOLUME 1, TAB B PAST PERFORMANCE

5.0 FACTOR A – RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

5.1 Definitions for Factor A (Definitions for the purposes of this factor)

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 complexity, magnitude, and scope to the current requirement. To be acceptable, there must be an explanation of how the provided project information is relevant to the proposed work

Complexity means new construction or major repair with many varied elements of work or sequencing of the work required for construction or major repair of hydrant fueling systems and aircraft parking spots within the controlled flight line area of active U.S. Department of Defense airfields serving large airframe, fixed-wing aircraft.

Magnitude means a total project contract value –greater than $5,000,000.

Scope means containing many of the elements of work and of physical size of construction of

DoD Type III hydrant fueling pits, and piping and/or construction of Portland cement and asphalt concrete airfield pavements.

Similar means not necessarily identical but showing a resemblance in qualities or characteristics of the proposed project.

Experience - knowledge and skill obtained by performing or managing work.

5.2 Submission Requirements for Factor A

5.2.1 Submit a minimum of three and a maximum of six (3-6) project examples to clearly demonstrate the relevant experience required. Submit Attachment 1, Offeror’s Relevant Experience Matrix and use Attachment 2, Offeror Experience Form, for each project. Submit only those projects for which the Offeror was the Prime

Contractor or part of a Joint Venture, except as specified below. If more than six (6) projects are submitted, only the first six will be evaluated, in the order they are presented in the proposal.

5.2.1.1 For purposes of evaluating construction experience as a Prime Contractor, the Offeror and prime contractor are defined as the contractor identified in Block 14 of SF1442. If a Joint Venture is identified in Block 14 of the SF

1442, then a signed Joint Venture Agreement must be submitted with the proposal and the Joint Venture shall be registered as such in the System for Award Management (SAM) before this proposal response date established in this solicitation.

5.2.1.2 The Offeror may demonstrate prime contractor experience if it served on the example project as one of the partners in a Joint Venture executing that project; if an Offeror is claiming prior project experience as a partner in a

Joint Venture, then the signed Joint Venture Agreement applicable to that example project must also be submitted.

5.2.1.3 Projects performed by contractors other than the Offeror (such as teaming partners) will not be evaluated as construction experience by a prime contractor unless (1) those other contractors are part of a Joint Venture for this solicitation as demonstrated by a signed Joint Venture Agreement or (2) those other contractors are proposed as key subcontractors and commitment is demonstrated with a completed Attachment 3, Letter of Commitment of Key

Sub-Contractor. Prior experience as a subcontractor is not considered relevant when evaluating the experience of the

Offeror as a prime contractor.

5.2.1.4 The Government will also consider prime contractor experience of the Offeror’s parent/subsidiary/affiliate firm as experience attributable to the Offeror for evaluation purposes if the proposal establishes that the parent/subsidiary/affiliate firm will have a significant involvement in performance of this contract and describe the resources of the parent/subsidiary/affiliate firm that will be utilized on project that is the subject of this procurement.

If submitting a parent/subsidiary/affiliate firm’s project for experience, it is the Offeror’s responsibility to effectively demonstrate and describe how the parent/subsidiary/affiliate firms’ resources (such as workforce, management, facilities, or other resources) will significantly contribute to the execution of the project which is the subject of this procurement; failure to effectively demonstrate and describe the planned contribution of the parent/subsidiary/affiliate firm’s involvement in the subject project of this procurement will cause the past experience of the parent/subsidiary/affiliate firms to be considered not relevant for evaluation purposes in this procurement.

5.2.2 Submit projects that are 100% construction complete, accepted by the client and have been completed within six (6) years of the issue date of this RFP. Each project cited should have a construction dollar value greater than $5 Million.
