The Government intends to award without discussions. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE – EQUIPMENT AND MACHINING CAPABILITY

Proposals will be evaluated to determine the Offeror’s experience for relevant Roller Chains contracts of similar scope and complexity as required in the solicitation. Offerors shall provide sufficient information to clearly demonstrate the breadth and depth of the Offeror’s experience.

Offeror must demonstrate experience by providing up to five (5) examples, performed within the past five (5) years that collectively demonstrate each of the elements identified below. If more than five (5) examples are provided, only the first five (5) will be evaluated.

Ownership or access to equipment used to meet machine tolerances of up to +/- .003 inch; and Heat treatment operations; and Surface finishes up to 63 micro-inches; and Testing retaining rings as necessary that demonstrate 90% of production run passing the

“Permanent Set Limits” as outlined in ASME B18.27.

Roller: ASTM A564, UNS S17400 Type 630, minimum Brinell hardness of 331 Shaft: ASTM A276, UNS S21800, Nitronic 60 Retaining rings: Stainless steel conforming to ASTM A693 Side Plate: ASTM A276, S 30400

Option Year Four, 2023 – 2024 Lower Granite – 0 Little Goose – 6 Lower Monumental – 0

Total = 28

Evaluation Standard for Factor 2 shall use the following:

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable

Proposal does not clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE (SEE ATTACHMENT 2)

The past performance evaluation results in an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the offeror’s record of relevant and recent (within five years) past performance information that pertains to Roller Chain Manufacturing and Delivery as identified in the solicitation.

The Government will focus its evaluation the offeror’s (and major subcontractor’s) record of performance as it relates to all solicitation requirements, including schedule, performance and management. Past performance must demonstrated using the following:

The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) Attachment 2 is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project the offeror included in its proposal for Factor 2- Technical Experience. Completed PPQ’s in possession of the Offeror can be used for this solicitation.

Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted with your proposal. If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ shown below, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, Brooke Moore via e-mail at Brooke.N.Moore@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date.

Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPS. Previously submitted PPQ information can be used for this in evaluation factor.

Also include performance recognition documents received within the last three (3) years such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor

Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

Past Performance for Factor 3 will be evaluated according to the following scale:

Acceptable*

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown (see note below).

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)).

Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or "neutral") past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered "acceptable."

FACTOR 4: PRICE

PROPOSAL FORMAT FOR VOLUME II – PRICE PROPOSAL

Offerors must submit completed Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) with unit price, quantity, and extended price. All extensions of the unit prices shown will be subject to verification by the Government.

An evaluation will be performed on the proposed prices. The evaluation will not be assigned an adjectival rating. However, it will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.305 and FAR 15.404.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
