EVALUATION CRITERIA

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

The award will be made based on the best overall (i.e., best value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the four (4) evaluation factors: Past performance is more important than technical approach and schedule with small business participation being the least important. The non-price factors when combined will be significantly more important than price. To receive consideration for award, the proposal must obtain an evaluation rating of “Neutral Confidence” or higher for Factor 1 Past Performance, must obtain an evaluation rating of “Acceptable” or higher for Factor 2 Technical Approach and Schedule, must obtain an evaluation rating of “Acceptable” or higher for Factor 3 Small Business Participation, and must have a price that is considered fair and reasonable. Award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price offered. NOTE: ALL NON-

PRICE FACTORS WHEN COMBINED ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE IMPORTANT

THAN PRICE.

B. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each proposal:

Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors described below.

FACTOR 1: Past Performance - Each offeror’s past performance will be reviewed to determine recency, relevancy and quality.

FACTOR 2: Technical Approach and Schedule - Evaluation of the offeror’s proposal shall address the technical approach and schedule as it applies to the Summary of Work (SOW). A detailed explanation of the criteria for the evaluation is set forth in the “Evaluation Approach”, Paragraph C of this section. During evaluations of each proposal, the Government will assign each factor an adjectival rating and write a narrative evaluation reflecting the identified findings.

FACTOR 3: Small Business Participation – Evaluation of the proposal will include the review of the Small Business Participation Commitment Document and the extent of Small Business Participation. A detailed explanation of the criteria for the evaluation is set forth in the “Evaluation Approach”, Paragraph C of this section.

FACTOR 4: Cost/Price - The resulting contract will be fixed-price with economic price adjustment. Price reasonableness will be utilized in the evaluation of the proposal. Offers will also be analyzed to determine if the prices are unbalanced (FAR 15.404-1(g)).

C. EVALUATION APPROACH

All proposals shall be subject to evaluation by the Source Selection Team (SST).

1. The overarching evaluation approach for all factors is as follows:

a. Adequacy of Response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s methods and approach have adequately and completely considered, defined, and satisfied the requirements specified in the RFP. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which each requirement has been addressed in the proposal in accordance with the proposal submission section of the RFP.

b. Feasibility of Approach. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the proposed approach is workable and the end results achievable. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which successful performance is contingent upon proven devices and techniques. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the offeror is expected to be able to successfully complete the proposed tasks and technical requirements within the required schedule.

2. The Non-Price Evaluation Factors are as follows:

2.1 Factor 1- Past Performance: The Government will evaluate the offeror’s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required work during performance of the awarded contract. The past performance evaluation considers an offeror's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services required to meet the contract’s requirements. The recency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor's performance shall be considered. There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation:

recency, relevancy (including context of data), and quality of performance (including general trends in contractor performance and source information). These will be combined to establish one past performance rating for each Offeror.

2.1.1 Relevancy of Past Performance, Tab 1a

The Offeror shall submit information on at least three (3) projects, but no more than five

(5) projects to demonstrate the offeror’s recent and relevant experience. If more than five (5) projects are submitted only the first five projects will be evaluated. Relevant means that submitted projects are similar in terms of scope, and complexity as work described in Section 01 11 00.00 26 Summary of Work of the solicitation. The relevancy of each Offeror’s submitted Past Performance projects will be rated based on the completeness and technical details of each project’s narrative describing the work performed (i.e. how well the project’s scope is described) and how pertinent the work is to the Section 01 11 00.00 26 Summary of Work, as well as the depth and breadth of each project’s scope (i.e. how many of the Section 01 11 00.00 26 Summary of Work technical requirements are covered by the project’s scope). Offerors shall ensure each project meets the definition of a ‘project’ below.

2.1.2 Past Performance Relevant Experience Submission Criteria

Criteria for the Offeror’s Factor 1:

a. Submit information of at least three (3),but no more than five (5) projects to demonstrate the offeror’s relevant past work experience and subsequent performance.

b. Ensure submitted projects are relevant to the work requirements noted in Section 01 11

00.00 26 of the RFP individually or in combination thereof.

c. Ensure each submitted project meets the definition of a ‘project’, as defined below; AND

d. Submitted projects shall be at least 75% physically completed, not based on amount invoiced, within the last ten (10) years prior to the solicitation issue date. At least 75% physically completed means at least 75% of the contractual requirements have been accomplished.

e. Submit Past Performance Project Relevancy Information Summary Form (Attachment A) for each submitted project.

f. All submitted information for each project provided in Tab 1a should be limited to four (4) pages per project.

2.1.3 Definitions

a) Scope is defined as:

The rewind of a large hydropwer generator of which the scope will be repeated multiple times.

b) An Offeror is defined as:

For the purpose of past performance evaluation, an ‘Offeror’ shall be defined as the Prime submitting the proposal. The past experience and past performance record of each firm meeting the definition in the business arrangement may be evaluated by the Government.

c) Prime is defined as:

For the purpose of past performance evaluation, a ‘Prime’ shall be defined as the Firm or any of the Firms making up a Joint Venture (JV) submitting a proposal in response to this solicitation.

d) A Project is defined as:

In order to be deemed a ‘project’, it must meet one, and only one, of the following:

a. 1 single Task Order against an IDC (a “D” contract) covering work performed at one single site;

b. 1 single Task Order against an IDC (a “D” contract) covering work at multiple sites within one single installation or facility;

c. 1 single “C” type contract (not a “D” contract) covering work performed at one single site (the following also will qualify as a non-‘D’-type: a Cooperative Agreement or Grant; single BPA/BOA Call; single order against a GSA Schedule;

or Purchase Order);

d. 1 single “C” type contract (not a “D” contract) covering work performed at multiple sites within one single installation or facility (the following also will qualify as a non-‘D’-type: a Cooperative Agreement or Grant; single BPA/BOA Call; single order against a GSA Schedule; or Purchase Order);

e. 1 single Task Order against an IDC (a “D” contract) covering work performed at multiple but separate installations, meaning the installations are in different cities, states, etc.; OR

f. 1 single “C” type contract (not a “D” contract) covering work performed at multiple but separate installations, meaning the installations are in different cities, states, etc. (the following also will qualify as a non- ‘D’-type: a Cooperative Agreement or Grant; single BPA/BOA Call; single order against a GSA Schedule;

or Purchase Order)

e) Recent is defined as:

Project that has been completed within ten (10) years of the solicitation issue date, or one where the construction is at least 75% complete (measured by performance period days) as of the solicitation issue date. (Offerors are responsible for providing start and completion dates for each completed project, or the start and scheduled completion dates for projects currently under construction.)

f) Relevant is defined as:

Projects that are similar in scope (type, size, complexity and dollar value) to the project described in this solicitation. For a project to be assessed any degree of “relevancy”, it must reflect performance of construction type work similar to the project required by this solicitation.

g) Quality of Performance is defined as:

The offeor’s quality or work, as well as the offeror’s management of a quality control program, while performing as a contractor on past contracts. Quality will be reviewed for all past performance information collected to determine the quality of the offeror’s performance. The evaluation of quality will be used to determine if the offeror has demonstrated consistent quality of performance that conformed to contractual requirements. Specific to construction contracts/orders, the evaluation of an offeror’s quality of performance may include and consider the following aspects based on information obtained from past projects:

- Has a quality product been provided?

- Did the contractor maintain a quality control system during contract performance?

If yes, how well were the following areas performed:

Contractor’s ability to maintain quality control Performance of accessory testing Implementation of 3-phase inspection process CQC (Contractor Quality Control) documentation

Identification and correction of deficient work Reviews of materials and shop drawings Whether there was incorporation of unspecified materials

For establishing the overall quality of the offeror’s past performance, the evaluation conducted does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the offeror’s past performance on past contracts; rather, the past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers and through review of assessment reports (i.e. CPARs) to determine how well the offeror performed on past contracts. A separate quality assessment rating will not be given, rather, Factor 1 Past Performance confidence assessment rating is based on the offeror’s overall evaluation of recency, relevance, and quality of performance.
