A. BASIS FOR AWARD

Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government as determined by the evaluations described in this section. The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the low price offeror or offeror with the highest technical rating after consideration of all factors as described in FAR Subpart 15.101-1. Selection of the successful offeror will be made based on the evaluation criteria stated below. However, any proposal that is unrealistic, in terms of technical approach, schedule commitments, and or costs (high or low) will be deemed to have an inherent lack of technical competence or to have failed to comprehend the complexity and risk of the Government’s requirement stated in the solicitation.

Evaluation Factors. There will be four factors used for contractor selection. Factor 1, Technical Approach, Factor 2, Experience, Factor 3, Past Performance, and Factor 4, Price.

The Technical Approach and Experience factors shall be evaluated using reasoned judgment that results in the assignment of a combined technical/risk rating as follows: Outstanding with Very Low risk, Good with Low risk, Acceptable with Moderate risk, Marginal with High risk, or Unacceptable encompassing a proposal that is unawardable.

For Factor 3, Past Performance, there are two aspects to the evaluation. The first is to evaluate the offeror’s past performance to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the offeror is in relation to the effort for this acquisition. The evaluation will result in the assignment of a Past Performance Relevancy Rating as follows: Very Relevant; Relevant; Somewhat Relevant; Not Relevant, as the source selection requires a greater level of relevance discrimination. The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the offeror performed on the contracts. Past performance information will be evaluated to determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to a performance confidence assessment. The evaluation will result in the assignment of a Performance Confidence Assessment as follows: Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, and Unknown Confidence (Neutral). In those circumstances where an offeror does not have a relevant record of past performance or for whom past performance information is not available, that offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on its past performance. In situations of this kind, the adjective rating of Unknown Confidence (Neutral) will be assigned to the evaluation factor of Past Performance. The Government may seek and obtain past performance information pertaining to an offeror from governmental and non-government sources and databases.

Price proposals will be evaluated for completeness, balance, and reasonableness. The determination of completeness involves review of the Proposal Schedule and the degree to which an Offeror has priced all aspects of the work to be performed. Balance evaluations include, but are not be limited to, a review of offerors’ price proposals for comparison with the Independent Government Estimate (IGE) and the proposed prices submitted by the other offerors. Unbalanced prices may increase performance risk and could result in payment of unreasonably high prices.

Unbalanced pricing exists, when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly over or understated as indicated by application of price or price analysis techniques. The determination of price reasonableness will be performed using various price analysis techniques such as comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation, and comparison of proposed prices with the IGE. The successful offeror’s price proposal must be determined to be complete, balanced, and reasonable by the PET and that determination sustained by the SSA in making a price reasonableness determination.

There may be contained within the evaluation factors certain mandatory or minimum requirements to be met for evaluation. There are also contained within the described factors certain documents for required submission. Failure to satisfy any mandatory or minimum requirement may result in a determination that an offer is unacceptable. (A final determination that an offer is unacceptable means that an award to the offeror involved cannot be made.) Use of the words “will,” “shall” or “must” indicates a mandatory requirement for which failure to comply, at the time and date for submission of proposals, shall result in the proposal being disqualified from consideration for award, unless the Government elects to initiate discussions with some or all of the offerors in accordance with appropriate provisions of the FAR thereby providing a means by which appropriate corrections by the offerors involved can be made. Failure to comply with non-pricing requirements that are annotated with the words such as “should” or “may” might result in a lowering of an offeror’s non-pricing ratings involved and may have significant effect upon an offeror being selected for the contract award.

In accordance with FAR Provision 52.215-1(f)(4), the Government intends to award a contract without discussions but reserves the right to hold discussions if determined by the Government to be in its best interest. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a technical standpoint.

The technical evaluation team shall identify significant strengths, strengths, significant weakness, weaknesses and deficiencies in each proposal and assign a rating of Outstanding/Very Low Risk, Good/Low Risk, Acceptable/No Worse than Moderate Risk, Marginal/High Risk, or Unacceptable in response to the “Technical Approach” and Experience factors. A Relevancy and Confidence Assessment rating will be assigned to the “Past Performance” factor. Evaluations under the Past Performance Factor will result in the assignment of a single Performance Confidence Rating for each offeror. A significant strength is an aspect of an offeror’s proposal that, when judged against the evaluation criteria, appreciably enhances the merit of that offeror’s proposal or appreciably increases the probability of successful contract performance by that offeror. A strength is an aspect of the offeror’s proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance. A significant weakness in the proposal is a flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. A weakness is a flaw that increases the risk of unsuccessful performance. A deficiency is a material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. A risk as it pertains to source selection is the potential for unsuccessful contract performance.

Each proposal should be submitted in a format that is representative of the items to be evaluated in the order that they are described below.

Relative Importance: To determine the best value offeror, a source selection process will be used that involves evaluation of both non-price and price factors. Factor 1 (Technical Approach), Factor 2 (Experience), and Factor 3 (Past Performance) are approximately equal in weight. When Factor 1, Factor 2, and Factor 3 are combined, they are given significantly more weight than Factor 4 (Price) in the evaluation process for this acquisition.

B. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

EVALUATION PROCESS

EVALUATION OF FACTORS: In accordance with FAR 15.101-1, the following factors will be considered when evaluating the proposals:

Factor 1 - Technical Approach

Factor 2 - Experience

Factor 3 – Past Performance

Factor 4 – Price

FACTOR 1 – TECHNICAL APPROACH

Technical Approach: This factor will be evaluated based on the completeness and feasibility of the offeror’s approach, the offeror’s ability to demonstrate their understanding of the contractual requirements, the level of risk of their proposed approach, and how well the offeror addresses their licensing, and organization. A detailed explanation of the criteria for the evaluation is set forth in the “Evaluation Approach”, Paragraph D of this section.

During evaluations of each proposal, the Technical Evaluation Team (TET) will assign an adjectival rating and write a narrative evaluation reflecting the identified findings.

FACTOR 2 – EXPERIENCE

Experience: This factor will be evaluated based upon the geographic location, cost magnitude, and relevancy of demonstrated experience in managing and executing projects that are of a similar complexity and scope of work as described for this solicitation. During evaluation of each proposal, the TET will assign an adjectival rating for this factor, supported by a comprehensive narrative.

FACTOR 3 – PAST PERFORMANCE

Past Performance: This factor will be evaluated on the quality of product and service, cost management, schedule management, safety and customer satisfaction. A detailed explanation of the criteria for the evaluation is set forth in the “Evaluation Approach”, Paragraph D of this section. During evaluation of each proposal, the TET will assign an adjectival rating for this factor, supported by a comprehensive narrative.

FACTOR 4 – PRICE

Price: The resultant award will be a firm fixed price contract and will be evaluated for balanced pricing, completeness and reasonableness. A detailed explanation of the criteria for the evaluation is set forth in the “Evaluation Approach”, Paragraph D of this section.

C. EVALUATION APPROACH. All proposals shall be submitted in accordance with the proposal instructions provided in the solicitation and shall be subject to evaluation by a team of Government personnel.

PROPOSAL EVALUATION

The TET will be established to conduct the evaluation of proposals received in response to this solicitation. The evaluation will be based on the content of the offerors’ initial proposals, clarifications, or revised proposals if discussions are conducted. For the past performance factor, the TET may consider information obtained from other sources as provided in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), the Federal Awardee Performance and the Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), the Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror. The Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will not consider any documents Incorporated by reference, except as expressly allowed by this solicitation.

Each member of the TET will independently evaluate and rate all proposals against the evaluation factors. Upon completion of the independent evaluation, the TET will meet as a team to discuss the individual ratings and arrive at a consensus rating for each evaluation factor. It is the responsibility of each member of the TET to provide and document sufficient strengths, weaknesses, and/or deficiencies to support the assigned rating for each factor.

Comments are required for all ratings.

The SSEB will prepare and submit comprehensive evaluation reports to the Source Selection Evaluation Authority (SSA). The TET report shall contain a summary of each offeror’s proposal, the rating for each evaluation factor, and a comprehensive narrative in support of each rating, to include a discussion of the associated strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies, risks and uncertainties. The Price Evaluation Team (PET) report shall include a detailed price analysis that examine not only the total price, including any options, but also the prices for the individual CLINS to ensure they are not unbalanced.

Instructions to Prospective Offerors:

General. Electronic or faxed proposal submissions will not be considered. Proposals shall be clearly marked on the outside of the package with the solicitation number. The closing date annotated on the pre-solicitation notice via FedBizOpps is for FedBizOpps archiving purpose only.

Joint Ventures (JV). A joint venture is defined as follows: a legal business entity formed between two or more companies (parties) to undertake the performance activities of a contract together. This does not include other arrangements such as “teaming agreements” or “strategic alliance,” which are not recognized as bona fide joint ventures for the purposes of this solicitation. Offerors proposing as joint ventures shall provide evidence that the Joint Venture as a legal entity has been duly formed. Joint ventures shall include a copy of the legal joint venture agreement signed by an authorized officer from each of the firms comprising the joint venture with the chief executive of each entity identified.. If submitting a proposal as a joint venture, the experience, and past performance of any of the joint venture partners can be submitted for the joint venture entity. The experience for any joint venture partner will be considered the experience of the joint venture entity. Page and project form limits apply to the joint venture as a whole. Prospective Offerors that submit proposals may not change their firm (which includes changing subcontractors for which LOC’s were submitted, or any other proposed subcontractor) or their Joint Venture firms, if selected for award. If the offeror proposes to change subcontractors after award, they may not change subcontractors without the Contracting Officer’s approval. Approval will not be given unless the Contracting Officer considers the proposed substitute to be equal in all respects to the originally proposed subcontractor and that the substitution is in the best interests of the Government.

Subcontractors. The Government recognizes that completion of a project is often a team effort. Therefore, if an Offeror wishes to be credited with experience and past performance of a subcontractor (i.e., a firm that is not a member of the Joint Venture), then a firm, unequivocal letter of commitment signed by the firm must be submitted.

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 a Joint Venture partner is also a subsidiary). If such a letter of commitment is not submitted, the experience and past performance of subcontractor firms may not be considered. If the Offeror’s proposal includes the use of subcontractors, the Offeror may not change subcontractors without the Contracting Officer’s approval. If the offeror proposes to change subcontractors or Letter of Commitment after award, the offeror may not change subcontractors or Letter of Commitment without the Contracting Officer’s approval. Approval will not be given unless the Contracting Officer considers the proposed substitute to be equal in all respects to the originally proposed subcontractor and that the substitution is in the best interests of the Government.
