EVAL FACTORS

SOLICITIATION PROVISIONS

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

The award will be made based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable proposal that is determined to be the best value to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the three (3) evaluation factors: Factor 1 Certification, Factor 2 Past Performance (includes Fabrication Experience and Installation Experience), and Factor 3 Price.

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 discussion guidance.

B. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

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

1. FACTOR 1 – Certification

Each offeror will be required to clearly demonstrate that the company and/or key personnel (as required) possess one or more of the required fabrication certification capabilities to complete the required scope of work and all requirements. Offeror will be evaluated as either Acceptable or Unacceptable for this factor, as detailed in the Evaluation Approach section.

2. FACTOR 2 – Past Performance

Each offeror’s current and past performance will be reviewed to determine recency, relevancy, and quality. In determining relevancy, the offeror’s performance of fabrication and installation work will be compared to the scope and complexity of the work required in the solicitation.

3. FACTOR 3 – 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.

The overarching evaluation approach will be based upon 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 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.

1. Factor 1 Certification

This factor evaluates the offeror’s required fabricator certification. Contractor submission must provide documentation proving that the company and/or key personnel (as required) will be performing the required fabrications (and other actions required) to furnish the completed supply items for installation. This factor is rated as acceptable or unacceptable. The certification(s) provided must be rated as acceptable for the offer to be considered for award. Contractor must prove the company and/or key personnel (as required) possess one or more of the following certifications under paragraph “a” below. Any copies of certification(s) provided must be legible to facilitate evaluation. Any certification documents submitted will not be returned, therefore it is requested that only copies be provided. Contractor must prove the company(s) and plant(s) performing fabrication of hydraulic steel structures possess one or more of the following certifications and the endorsement under this factor:

a. Certification by American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) as Certified Bridge Fabricator - Intermediate (IBR), Certified Bridge Fabricator – Advanced (ABR), or Certified Hydraulic Fabricator - Advanced (HYDA); and

b. The applicable certification has the Fracture Critical Endorsement (FCE or FCEH).

Evaluation Standard

Rating Description Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation

2. Factor 2 Past Performance – This factor is comprised of the following:

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 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.

Offerors shall use Attached “Offeror Experience Form” to describe the projects in which the Offeror has relevant fabrication and installation experience. Offerors shall submit past experience that demonstrates the relevant projects listed below in the Relevancy section.

Limit your submissions to no more than 8 project examples performed within the past ten (10) years.

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

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. A significant achievement, problem, or lack of relevant data in any element of the work can become an important consideration in the evaluation process. 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 ten 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 a “neutral 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. Offerors 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 ten years, from the issue date of this request for proposal, which are relevant to the efforts required by this solicitation. The Government may consider a wide array of information from a variety of sources but is not compelled to rely on all of the information available.

c. The past performance factor considers each offeror’s demonstrated record of recent and relevant past performance in supplying products and services that meet the contract requirements.

d. RECENCY: The Government will conduct a performance assessment based on the recency of the Offeror's relevant past performance, of which work shall be current and/or have been performed within the past ten years from the issue date of this RFP.

e. 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 and fabricators, 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.

7) Compliance with subcontracting plans submitted on previous projects.

Relevant projects would include:

Fabrication and installation experience with large hydraulic steel structures operated by hydraulic systems.

Fabrication and installation experience with hydraulic power systems which included integrated low voltage Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) controls.

Installation experience performed in difficult and hazardous environments including confined space and fall protection.

* Note see: D. Proposal Submission Requirements (ii.VOLUME I, TAB 2- Past Performance;

(1) and (2)) below for more detailed information.

f. QUALITY: The third aspect of the past performance evaluation assesses the quality of the offeror's past performance on those recent efforts that were determined relevant by determining how well the contractor performed on the contracts. Documented results from Past Performance Questionnaires, interviews, CPARS, and other sources form the support and basis for this assessment.

Evaluation Standard

Rating Description 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 successfully perform the required effort.

Note: 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.

3. Factor 3 – 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 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.
