SECTION 00 21 00 - INSTRUCTIONS

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

The award will be made based on the best overall (i.e., best value-tradeoff) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, based on an integrated assessment, with appropriate consideration given to the presented Experience, Work Plan, Small Business Participation, Past Performance and Price.

Factor 1, Experience and Factor 3, Past Performance are approximately equal in importance and more important than Factor 2, Work Plan. Factors 1, 2 and 3 are more important than Factor 4, Small Business Participation. When combined, the non-price factors (Factors 1 through 4) are significantly more important than Factor 5, Price.

However, as proposals become more equal in technical (non-price) merit, the evaluated price will be considered more important in determining the best value proposal.

The following paragraphs B through E cover the Factors to be evaluated, the evaluation approach for each Factor to include factor rating tables, proposal submission requirements and final discussion guidance.

B. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

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

FACTOR 1 Experience – The evaluation of the Experience Factor will be comprised of three (3) Sub-Factors.

Information provided by the offeror in support of each sub-factor will be evaluated based on its relevance to the Scope of Work. An overall rating for Factor 1 Experience will be based on the merits of each sub-factor. There is not a specified page limit for the Experience Sub-Factors, but offerors are encouraged to be clear and concise in providing the information requested.

Risk will be evaluated as one aspect of the experience evaluation, inherent in the experience evaluation factor or sub-factor ratings. Risk assesses the degree to which the offerors proposed experience approach for the requirements of the solicitation may cause disruption of schedule, increased price, degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, or the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance. A detailed explanation of the criteria for the evaluation is set forth in the Evaluation Approach, Paragraph C of this section.

During evaluation of each proposal, the Government will assign each sub-factor an adjectival rating and write a narrative evaluation reflecting the identified findings.

Subfactor A: Generator Stator Rewind Experience Subfactor B: Turbine Refurbishment Experience Subfactor C: Rotating Brushless Excitation System Design, Manufacturing, and Installation Experience The three (3) Experience subfactors are of equal importance.

FACTOR 2 Work Plan – Each offeror’s proposal will be evaluated to determine the degree to which the work plan demonstrates an understanding of the required scope and the offeror’s capabilities and availability of resources to complete all requirements of the solicitation. The evaluation will consider strengths, weaknesses, and risks of the proposed work plan. Risk assesses the degree to which the offeror’s proposed technical approach for the requirements of the solicitation may cause disruption of schedule, increased price, degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, or the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance.

FACTOR 3 Past Performance - Each offeror’s current and past performance will be reviewed to determine relevancy and confidence.

FACTOR 4: Small Business Participation – The extent of Small Business Participation will be evaluated for unrestricted acquisitions.

FACTOR 5 Price – The resulting award will be a firm-fixed price contract. Price reasonableness will be utilized in the evaluation of the proposal.

C. EVALUATION APPROACH

All proposals will be evaluated by the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB). The following sections define the information to be provided, and describe how the information for each factor will be evaluated and rated.

Proposals shall conform to the solicitation requirements, to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required of this solicitation.

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

a. Adequacy of Response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offerors 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. Marginal levels of overall detail could indicate a lack of understanding concerning the requirements and may result in the entire factor receiving an unfavorable rating and/or being eliminated from the competitive range.

b. Sub-Contractor Identification and Experience

i. Offerors shall clearly identify the firm(s) that will be utilized during performance of the contract. If the prime contractor proposes to use a subcontractor for the fabrication or the design of the required equipment, the offeror shall submit a signed Letter of Commitment from the subcontractor with the proposal.

ii. If a subcontractor is proposed, the proposal will be considered more favorable if the proposal contains evidence of the prime and subcontractor working successfully together previously on relevant projects, than an offer with a prime and subcontractor with no prior experience working together on relevant projects.

iii. If a joint venture is proposed, the proposal will be considered more favorable if the proposal contains evidence of the firms working successfully together previously on relevant projects, than an offer with a joint venture with no prior experience working together on relevant projects.

c. Use Attachment “Offeror Experience Form” to describe the projects in which the Offeror has relevant fabrication experience. Project experience shall include adequate detail to demonstrate the relevancy of the scope of work for comparison to that required in this solicitation.

2. Factor 1 Experience This factor is comprised of the following subfactors:

a. Sub-factor A: Generator Stator Rewind Experience

The offeror shall demonstrate recent (on-going work that is substantially complete as defined below or completed within the past 7 years) experience designing, manufacturing, testing, and installing multi-turn coil type hydro-generator stator windings and stator cores, inspecting and testing field windings, disassembly, reassembly, and post reassembly testing of the hydro-generators. The recent experience must have been performed on hydro-generators of different designs, with rated voltages of 4.16 kV and with output ratings of 3 MVA or larger. Different designs are defined as experience between multiple projects rather than a project with multiple units of the same family.

Offerors must demonstrate experience outlined above by submitting up to a maximum of five (5) projects that collectively include design, manufacturing, testing, and installing multi-turn coil type hydro-generator stator windings and stator cores, inspecting and testing field windings, disassembly, reassembly, and post reassembly testing of the hydro-generators.

Offerors shall clearly identify the firm(s) that will be utilized during performance of the contract. If the prime contractor proposes to use a subcontractor for the fabrication or the design of the required equipment, the offeror shall submit a signed Letter of Commitment from the subcontractor with the proposal.

b. Sub-factor B: Turbine Refurbishment Experience

The offeror shall demonstrate recent (on-going work that is substantially complete as defined below or completed within the past 7 years) experience in turbine refurbishment, including alignment, disassembly, reassembly, and post reassembly testing of turbines. The recent experience must have been performed on a Francis turbine with output ratings of a minimum 4500 Horsepower.

Offerors must demonstrate experience outlined above by submitting up to a maximum of five (5) projects that collectively include experience in turbine refurbishment, including alignment, disassembly, reassembly, and post reassembly testing of turbines.

c. Sub-Factor C: Rotating Brushless Excitation System Design, Manufacturing, Testing and Installation Experience

The offeror shall demonstrate recent (on-going work that is substantially complete as defined below or completed within the past 7 years) experience designing, manufacturing, testing, and installing rotating brushless excitation systems and permanent magnet generators (PMGs). The recent experience with rotating brushless exciters must have been performed on hydro-generators of different designs, with rated voltages of 4.16 kV and with output ratings of 3 MVA or larger. The recent experience for the PMGs need not have been performed in conjunction with the rotating brushless excitation system replacement work.

Any project that contains both rotating brushless exciter and PMG work can be used to demonstrate experience in both categories.

Offerors must demonstrate experience outlined above by submitting up to a maximum of five (5) projects that collectively include experience designing, manufacturing, testing, and installing rotating brushless excitation systems and permanent magnet generators (PMGs) as outlined above.

Offerors shall clearly identify the firm(s) that will be utilized during performance of the contract. If the prime contractor proposes to use a subcontractor for the fabrication or the design of the required equipment, the offeror shall submit a signed Letter of Commitment from the subcontractor with the proposal.

Each project submitted by the Offeror must be substantially complete by the date that the proposals are due.

Substantially complete is defined as being 50% complete. If an Offeror submits a project that it represents is “substantially complete,” the Offeror must provide a narrative to explain why the project is considered at least 50% complete.

A letter of commitment is required for the use of any major subcontractor’s past experience as meeting any of the Factor 1 elements. The letter of commitment must be a signed letter of commitment from the subcontractor who is proposed to perform the work. The letter of commitment must be submitted even if the firm is in some way related to a joint venture partner (for example, the subcontractor is a subsidiary of a joint venture partner, or a subsidiary of a firm to which the joint venture partner is also a subsidiary). If a letter of commitment is not submitted, the experience will not be considered.

The Experience Factor Ratings, excerpted below focus on the strengths, deficiencies, weaknesses, risks and uncertainties of the offeror’s proposal. The rating depicts how well the offeror’s proposal meets the Experience requirements.

Rating Description Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable.

Proposal is unawardable.

3. Factor 2 – Work Plan This factor evaluates the offeror’s understanding of the required scope of work and evaluates the offerors’ capabilities and availability of resources necessary to complete all requirements.

The information submitted for Factor 2 (Work Plan) including schedule and work plan exposition shall be limited to thirty (30) pages total. Offerors shall submit the following for Factor 2:

1) Schedule reflecting the planned activities, order of major tasks identified, task dependencies and durations proposed to successfully accomplish the entire project from notice to proceed to final commissioning, and contract close-out.

e. List all major subcontractors with their respective role and responsibility to complete all major tasks. Refer to the requirement for a letter of commitment for subcontractors in submission requirements for Factor 1.

The Work Plan Ratings, excerpted below focus on the strengths, deficiencies, weaknesses, risks and uncertainties of the offeror’s proposal. The rating depicts how well the offeror’s proposal meets the Technical requirements.

Rating Description

Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable.

Proposal is unawardable.

4. Factor 3 - Past Performance There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation: Recency, Relevancy (including context of data) and Quality (including general trends in the contractor performance and source of information). The Offeror will be rated more relevant if past performance for project is submitted by the Offeror under Factor 1 (Experience). The Government will evaluate the offeror’s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the scope of work.

a. The Government will focus its inquiries on the offeror’s (and major subcontractor’s) record of performance as it relates to all solicitation requirements, including price, schedule, performance and management of sub-contractors. Major sub-contractors are defined as members of an offeror’s overall team who are expected to perform ten (10) percent or more of the proposed effort. The Offeror shall also submit the written consent of its major subcontractors to allow the disclosure of its subcontractor’s past performance information to the Offeror. In addition, signed letters of commitment shall be included for all major subcontractors for their past performance to be considered.

Offerors are reminded to include the most recent and relevant efforts (within the past seven

(7) years) in their proposal. Absent any recent and relevant past performance history or when the performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will be assigned an “unknown confidence rating” and its proposal will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. The Government may use data provided by the offeror in its proposal and data obtained from other sources, including data obtained through interviews with personnel familiar with the contractor and their current and past performance under Federal, State, or Local government or commercial contracts for same or similar services as compared to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 237990, Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction. Data submitted by the offeror or gathered from other sources by the government in conducting performance risk assessments shall not extend past ten years prior to the issue date of the request for proposal, but may include performance data generated during the past ten years without regard to the contract award date. CPARS data is limited to the past six (6) years. Offeror’s should provide additional performance data for projects beyond six (6) years.

b. Offerors shall submit all Government and/or commercial contract numbers and descriptions for the prime offeror and each major subcontractor in performance or awarded during the past seven years, from the issue date of this request for proposal, which are relevant to the efforts required by this solicitation.

c. RECENCY: The Government will evaluate recency by examining the offerors’ record of past performance and to assess the time period during which the offeror’s past performance is considered relevant.

d. RELEVANCY: The Government will conduct a performance assessment based on the relevancy of the Offeror's current and past performance, as well as that of its major subcontractors, as it relates to the probability of successful accomplishment of the required effort. These efforts include all aspects of schedule, performance and customer support, including the Offeror’s submitted subcontracting plan for this project and the Offeror’s record of: 1) Conforming to specifications and standards of good workmanship; 2) Maintaining program execution within price; 3) Adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; 4) Ability to resolve technical and manufacturing problems quickly and effectively; 5) Businesslike concern for the interest of its customers; 6) Establishing and maintaining adequate management of subcontractors; and 7) Compliance with subcontracting plans submitted on previous projects.

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating Definition

Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

a. QUALITY: The third aspect of the past performance evaluation is to establish the overall quality of the offeror’s past performance. The quality past performance evaluations conducted gathers information from offeror’s customers to determine how well the offeror performed those past contracts. This quality assessment will be reflected in the overall confidence assessment described below.

b. PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT: The final step is for the team to arrive at a single consensus performance confidence assessment for the offeror. Because this source selection requires a greater level of discrimination with the past performance evaluation, evaluators shall use the ratings in the chart below. This rating considers the assessed quality of the relevant/current efforts gathered (documented results from Past Performance Questionnaires, interviews, CPARS, and other sources form the support and basis for this assessment). Ensure the rationale for the conclusions reached are included.

Performance Confidence Assessments

Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

4. Factor 4 – Small Business Participation

All Offerors (both large and small businesses) will be evaluated on the level of proposed participation of small business concerns in performance of this acquisition (as small business prime offerors or small business sub-contractors) relative to the objectives and goals established herein. The government will evaluate:

a. The extent to which such firms, as defined in FAR Part 19, are specifically identified in proposals;

b. The extent of commitment to use such firms. The proposal will be rated more favorably under this sub-factor if it contains an enforceable commitment in the form of a signed letter of commitment (LOC);

c. Identification of the complexity and variety of the work small firms are to perform;

d. The extent past performance is in compliance with FAR 52.219-8 “Utilization of Small Business” and maximizing opportunities for U.S. Small Business Subcontractors.

e. The extent to which the offeror meets or exceeds the goals. The goals for this procurement are:

• Total Small Business (any type of small business) 10% of the total contract value (the sum of all CLINs);

• Subcategory Small Business o Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) 5 % of the total contract value;

o Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) 1% of the total contract value;

o Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) 1% of the total contract value;

o Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) 2% of the total contract value;

o Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) 1% of the total contract value;

Small Business Participation Factor Rating Definitions:

Small Business Participation Factor Ratings

Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet small business objectives. Proposal is non-awardable.

5. Factor 5 – Price

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. In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the extended price, the unit price will govern. For the purpose of evaluating proposals, the following will be used to resolve arithmetic discrepancies found on the face of the pricing schedule as submitted by the offeror:

a. Obviously misplaced decimal points will be corrected;

b. In a discrepancy between unit price and extended price, the unit price will govern;

c. Calculation errors in extension of unit prices will be corrected;

d. Calculation errors in the addition of lump-sum and extended prices will be corrected.

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.

D. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION
