AGENDA

Lowest Price Technical Acceptable (LPTA) Source Selection Evaluation Process.

Public Contracts Act 41 U.S.C 3301 requires limited exceptions, but it instructs the KO to promote full and open competition when soliciting offers and awarding contracts over the SAP threshold. It assists in maximizing competition which is desirable and it results in timely delivery to the Government quality products and services at reasonable cost.

Magnitude of Construction $5M to $10M Advertisement: 19 Jul 16 Receipt of Proposal: 30 Aug 16 Contract Award: 30 Sep 16

SOLICITATION SCHEDULE

The Source Selection process when awarding contracts takes a team from different discipline to order to successfully award a requirement. The KO must establish an evaluation team tailored for the particular acquisition to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of offerors. By doing this it will ensure…..

Source Selection

BASIS FOR AWARD:

The award will be made on the basis of the Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process (FAR 15.101-2).

In the lowest price, technically acceptable selection process, interested offerors submit certain specified performance and capability proposals in conjunction with price proposals for review and consideration by the Government.

The Government will evaluate these performance capability proposals in accordance with the criteria described in the solicitation.

To be considered Acceptable a proposal must achieve an Acceptable rating in all non-priced factors/sub-factors.

The failure of a proposal to meet all of the requirements under any non-priced factor/sub-factor will result in an Unacceptable rating and precluded from award.

The second is full and open competition after exclusion of sources. This mean competition is not open to everyone but it’s limited to a select group of sources. The best example or most common use is when an acquisition is set aside for small businesses, or for small disadvantagted business through the 8a program.

How Factors are Evaluated:

Proposals will be placed in order of price (lowest price to highest price).

Proposals will be evaluated for acceptability in the order from lowest to highest price.

The LPTA offer prices will be evaluated for fair and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(a).

If prices are determined fair and reasonable, that Offeror will be selected for award and the remainder of the proposals will not be evaluated.

The Government intends to award a contract without discussions, but reserves the right to hold discussions if the Government determines that to do so would be in its best interests.

If discussions are deemed necessary by the Source Selection Authority/Contracting Officer, all proposals will be evaluated for the purpose of establishing a competitive range.

The second is full and open competition after exclusion of sources. This mean competition is not open to everyone but it’s limited to a select group of sources. The best example or most common use is when an acquisition is set aside for small businesses, or for small disadvantagted business through the 8a program.

EVALUATION FACTORS

PRICED FACTOR

- FACTOR 1 – PRICE

Price is not rated. It will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness through the use of a price analysis in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b).

NON-PRICED FACTORS

Each proposal will be evaluated, based on the non-cost factors listed below and deemed technically acceptable or not technically acceptable.

FACTOR 2 – CORPORATE RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

FACTOR 3 – SPECIALIZED TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE

FACTOR 4 – PAST PERFORMANCE

The second is full and open competition after exclusion of sources. This mean competition is not open to everyone but it’s limited to a select group of sources. The best example or most common use is when an acquisition is set aside for small businesses, or for small disadvantagted business through the 8a program.

NON-PRICED FACTORS ACCEPTABILITY

All non-priced factors and sub-factors must receive an ACCEPTABLE to be considered for award.

Offeror shall provide for each non-priced factors and sub-factors three (3) civil construction projects.

Projects submitted must be completed or 80% physically completed within the last ten(10) years from the date of this solicitation.

- FACTOR 2 – CORPORATE RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

This Factor will evaluate the Offeror (Acting as Prime) for its Corporate Experience in successful completion of civil construction projects of similar scope, magnitude and complexity.

This factor will be rated on an Acceptable or Unacceptable basis.

Provide three (3) civil construction projects with a detailed narrative that explains how each provided corporate experience is similar to the work described in the solicitation.

The Government will only review three (3) construction projects. Any projects submitted in excess of three (3) for Corporate Relevant Experience will not be considered.

The second is full and open competition after exclusion of sources. This mean competition is not open to everyone but it’s limited to a select group of sources. The best example or most common use is when an acquisition is set aside for small businesses, or for small disadvantagted business through the 8a program.

NON-PRICED FACTORS ACCEPTABILITY CONTINUED

FACTOR 3: SPECIALIZED TECHNICAL EXPIERIENCE

The purpose of the technical factor is to assess whether the Offeror’s proposal will satisfy the Government’s minimum requirements. This factor will be rated on an Acceptable or Unacceptable basis.

Provide three (3) civil construction projects that demonstrate experience performing the following sub-factors:

NON-PRICED FACTORS ACCEPTABILITY CONTINUED

SUB-FACTOR A – Successfully construct earthen levee embankment within the last 10 years. A levee is defined as a man-made earthen structure designed and constructed in accordance with sound engineering practices to contain, control, or divert the flow of water so as to provide reasonable assurance of excluding temporary flooding from the leveed area.

SUB-FACTOR B – Successfully process limestone to meet gradation specifications within the last 10 years. Provide details on the gradation specifications for each specific listed project.

SUB-FACTOR C – Within the last 10 years, successfully construct a levee in a wet site with fluctuating water levels ranging between 0 and 2 feet, and foundation conditions consisting of highly permeable limestone or other materials of similar hydraulic conductivity characteristics, where unwatering/dewatering was needed.

The Government will only review three (3) construction projects. Any projects submitted in excess of three (3) for Specialized Technical Experience will not be considered.

It is not necessary that all the sub-factors above be performed on the same project.

Any demonstrated experience (to include subcontractors) provided here for consideration in this factor, should also have a corresponding submission in the Past Performance factor. If Past Performance information is not provided for a demonstrated experience, that demonstrated experience will not be evaluated.

In accordance with the non-substitution clause in Section 00800 (999.215-4001), Limitations on Substitutions for Certain Positions and/or Subcontractors, a letter of commitment must be provided for any proposed major subcontractor.

FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE

Past performance will be rated on an “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” basis.

Past performance initially evaluated to determine whether the Offeror’s present/past performance is recent and relevant, or not relevant to the effort to be acquired.

The past performance evaluation should determine how well the Offeror performed on the prior contracts.

Offeror whose predominant (>50%) CPARS and PPQ rating are less than Satisfactory may be rated Unacceptable.

Submit one NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), (see Attachment 3), completed and signed by an Owner of the Project (Client) point of contact or “POC” for each of the projects submitted under Factors 2 and 3.

If a project submitted under Factor 3 was completed by the Offeror’s major subcontractor, the Offeror is responsible for coordinating with their major subcontractor and submitting a completed NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire on their major subcontractor’s behalf. All pages of each NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire must be initialed and dated on the bottom right-hand corner by the POC.

Failure to provide a completed and signed NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire for each project as described above may cause Factors 2 and/or 3 to be rated Unacceptable

Lastly #3; other than full and open competition. I’ve not seen it used but it a available as example publication which includes justifications for limiting competition for hotels used for VIP travel. Probably why I haven’t seen it before because I don’t have VIP status.
