SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION 00100 - BIDDING SCHEDULE/INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS AND EVALUATION FACTORS

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

The objective is to award to an offeror who gives the greatest confidence that it will affordably meet the requirements.

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 two evaluation factors: Current and Past Performance and Price.

RELATIVE ORDER OF IMPORTANCE

The evaluation factors are listed below in order of relative importance. Current and Past Performance is slightly more important than price. To receive consideration for award, an overall rating of “Acceptable” must be achieved. Offerors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price offer.

B. FACTORS AND SUBFACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

FACTOR I – CURRENT AND PAST PERFORMANCE

FACTOR II – PRICE

C. 1 Evaluation Plan for FACTOR I, CURRENT AND PAST PERFORMANCE

The goal of this factor is to evaluate the relative risks associated with an Offeror's likelihood to perform the solicitation requirements as indicated by the offeror's record of relevant current and past performance.

Relevant current and past performance is defined as current or past performance as documented in Table I and Table II of this section, and is performance that is the same as or similar to the work and complexity required in the solicitation.

a) The Government will conduct a performance assessment of the offeror and its major subcontractors based on the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the offeror’s performance as it relates to the probability of successful accomplishment of the required efforts. Major subcontractors (Table II) are defined as fabricators and heavy lift contractors. These efforts include all aspects of schedule, performance and customer support, and the Offeror’s record of (1) conforming to specifications and standards of good workmanship; (2) adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; (3) ability to resolve technical and manufacturing problems quickly and effectively; (4) businesslike concern for the interest of its customers; (5) establishing and maintaining adequate management of major subcontractors, to include those that are AISC Level III certified; and (6) extent of participation of small businesses in performance of the contract and/or past performance of offerors in complying with the requirements of the clause FAR 52.219-8, Utilization of SB concerns.

b) Offerors are cautioned that in evaluating current and past performance (to include the performance risk assessment), the Government may use data provided in the offeror's proposal and data obtained from other sources. Since the Government may not necessarily interview all of the sources provided by the Offerors, it is incumbent upon the Offerors to explain the relevance of the data provided. Offerors are reminded that while the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of proving low performance risk rests with the Offerors. The Government will base its evaluation of the elements on information received from Offerors, offeror's former customers, business associates, Federal, State, and local government agencies, and electronic databases [e.g., Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS)].

c) The lack of a relevant performance record may result in an unknown performance risk assessment, which will be used neither to the advantage or disadvantage of the offeror.

Offerors are advised to:

(1) Record all references and projects in the tables in Section 00100 and provide the Customer Satisfaction

Survey link to each reference included in the tables.

(2) These tables may be a source of information to contact the references and request additional information regarding the offeror.

(3) Individuals may be listed more than once if they have specific experience with more than one project.

The evaluations they provide will be specific to the project listed.

C.2 Evaluation Plan for FACTOR II – PRICE

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes using the Government estimate for comparison and evaluation. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by reviewing individual contract line items (CLINs) and evaluating the total of all CLIN prices proposed in Section 00100 – Bidding Schedule/Instructions to Bidders.

D. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

Any costs related to proposal preparation and submission will not be reimbursed by the Government.

a. Format

Submit each copy of the proposal in a 3-ring binder with a “D” ring or locking closures. Each copy must include the Offeror’s name and address, title, and number of the solicitation clearly identified on the front cover of the binder.

Each binder containing the proposal is expected to include a table of contents and a summary section that contains a brief abstract of the information being presented.

If the materials do not fit within a single binder, they should be separated in additional binders, but all must be clearly identified.

Separate the information by using tabs within the binders. Label the tabs to identify the factor intended for evaluation.

Pages containing text are expected to be 8 ½ x 11 inches with at least one-inch margins at the top, bottom, and both sides. Larger format drawings or tables may be added by folding them to fit within the binder.

Paragraphs should be separated by at least one blank line. A standard 12-point font in either Arial or Times

New Roman fonts are required. Tables and illustrations may use a reduced font size not less than 8-point and the layout may be landscape.

Submit the price proposal information in the same binder, clearly marked with tabs.

b. Content Requirements

To reduce proposal size, the Offeror must confine the proposal to relevant information and documentation sufficient to provide an adequate basis for evaluation. Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details, in a concise manner, to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of the proposal.

The evaluation panel for the Government is instructed to evaluate the non-price proposal factors on the basis of the information provided. Extraneous information provided in the proposals will not be considered in the evaluations; therefore, the offeror should only provide information that satisfies the solicitation requirements.

DO NOT cross reference past performance information. It is acceptable to repeat data, project information or experience in more than one non-price area as long as it satisfies the requirements of the factor.

Proprietary information must be clearly marked.

FACTOR I – CURRENT AND PAST PERFORMANCE

The Government will use data provided by listed references or customers and other data sources to evaluate the offeror and major subcontractor relevant current and past performance.

The offeror shall provide references as described in Section 00100 and provide completed Table I and completed Table II (if applicable).

References or customers listed in Tables I and II will complete and submit the “Evaluation of Contractor/Vendor Performance” questionnaire available at:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=ciAsTdcrsTULyiAqi_2bAzrg_3d_3d Right click on your mouse and select “open hyperlink” or cut and paste to your web browser to access the survey.

The references or customers shall complete the questionnaire by using the on-line survey monkey only.

Offerors, please strongly encourage your references or customers to complete the on-line survey prior to the date proposals are due.

FACTOR II – PRICE

The price proposal shall include the following:

(1) Completed, signed and dated Standard Form 1442 (Solicitation, Offer, and Award)

(2) Section 00100 – Completed Bid Schedule (Pricing Information for all CLINs)

(3) Representations and Certifications in Section 00600

(4) Contract Administration Data (Attention to Bidders, Form NPW FL 118)

d. Proposal Submission

Binder Content Number of Copies

One 3-ring binder Factor I, Factor II Original + 5 Copies for each copy

Proposals must be received at the address in Block 7 of the SF 1442 no later than 4:00 p.m. on October 22, 2009.
