The evaluation will be provided in strict accordance with the selection criteria identified in the request for proposal documents and documented in accordance with local policy and procedures.

Each FRR requirement is unique in some form and the criteria above is applicable to most efforts. The PDT discussed other factors to assist in the decision process to determine set-aside actions for small business concerns such as: the ability to comply with the required performance schedule considering all existing ongoing FRR commitments; complexity of the requirement; the capital outlays of financial resources to perform the contract; and experience, and location or locations of the effort.

Complexity as it relates to deciding which pool to solicit is determined as follows:

Low complexity projects:

o Typically, Projects composed of single trades (i.e. HVAC, paving, electrical, plumbing, masonry) o Minimal additions to existing facilities or under O&M local minor construction limit.

o Work typically within the Contiguous United States with the exception of specialized trades (i.e. SCIF, HEMP, Microgrid construction)

Moderate complexity projects:

o Composed of multiple trades. Concept design available o Simple in scope and primarily one trade but require other trades and phases of construction activities and/or temporary utilities

High complexity projects:

o Multiple trades, phasing, no concept design, little to no planning documents.

o Constrained budget and /or schedule, work within an occupied facility. Constrained project site. Logistically challenging.

o Highly specialized facilities (i.e. laboratories, SCIFs, HEMP) o Work located in the Contiguous United States and Outside of the Contiguous United States, multiple project sites across dispersed geographic locations

1.17 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST

The guidelines and procedures of FAR 9.5 will be used in identifying and resolving any issues of organizational conflict of interest at the Order level.

In the event that an Order requires activity that would create an actual or potential conflict of interest, the Contractor shall:

1.0 OVERVIEW

In Phase

One of the two phase’s selection procedure, interested firms or joint venture entities (referred to as ”Offeror’s”) submit certain specified performance capability proposals, demonstrating their capability to successfully execute design-build or construction task orders under the contract resulting from this solicitation. In Phase One, the

Government will evaluate the Offeror’s qualifications in accordance with the criteria described in Section, 00 22 10 and will short-list a target of seven (7) 8(a), seven (7) Small Business and seven (7) Unrestricted Phase One

In Phase Two, the short-listed Offeror’s will submit proposals for the notional sample task order in accordance with

Section 00 22 20. Offerors will compete for base contract awards in Phase II.

In Phase Two, the Government will award IDIQ contracts to the offerors whose proposal offers the best value to the

Government, considering the price and non-price factors described in Phase II. The Government intends to award a target of five (5) 8(a), five (5) Small Business and five (5) Unrestricted Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) IDIQ contracts to those firms whose proposals offer the remaining best overall value to the Government, considering the price and non-price factors described in Phase Two. The Government reserves the right to award more, less, or none at all.
