EVALUATION CRITERIA

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

The award of this Contract will be made to the responsible Offeror submitting the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) offer in accordance with FAR 15 procedures. This solicitation will result in the award of a fixed price with economic adjustment construction contract.

The evaluation of each proposal will be solely on the basis of evaluation factors found in this section (00 22 00). The Government will evaluate each proposal on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis only with respect to the evaluation factors (criteria) described herein.

In order to be considered for award, a proposal must be rated Acceptable in every non-price factor. Award will be to the Offeror who presents the Acceptable technical proposal (Factors 1 through

3) with the overall lowest price (Based on a total of all line items on the Bid Schedule)

In accordance with FAR 15.306(a)(3) the Government intends to evaluate proposals and make award without discussions. An Offeror’s initial proposal shall contain the Offeror’s best offer/terms.

Penalty for making false statements in proposals is prescribed in 18 U.S.C. 1001.

B. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

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

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

FACTOR 2 – Offeror Capabilities: 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 a rating and write a narrative evaluation reflecting the identified findings.

FACTOR 3 – Project 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 a rating and write a narrative evaluation reflecting the identified findings.

FACTOR 4 – 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 whether 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 whether the proposed approach is workable and the end results achievable. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether successful performance is contingent upon proven devices and techniques. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether 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 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. Experience must be demonstrated for 1) Welding Repairs, 2) Coating or Recoating, and 3) Gate Repairs and Fabrication. The projects submitted to demonstrate experience for all three do not have to be the same. The combined experience demonstrated by the submitted projects must cover the general relevancy requirements and the specific relevancy requirements.

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.
