SECTION 00 21 16 - INSTRUCTIONS TO PROPOSERS

The following have been modified:

BASIS OF AWARD

Award will be made to the responsible offeror representing the best value based on the Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) proposal received in response to this Request for Proposals (RFP). Firms will be rated in accordance with the adjectival ratings of Acceptable or Unacceptable as noted in the table below. Each technical evaluation factor must be determined Acceptable for the proposal to be found technically acceptable. Proposals will not be ranked. Award will be made to the offeror providing the lowest priced, technically acceptable proposal.

Firms may only submit one proposal. Facsimile proposals will not be accepted. Offerors must propose pricing for all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs), including subCLINs, for their proposal to be considered for contract award.

Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

It is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure the completeness of its proposal. Incomplete proposals may not be considered for contract award. The Government may evaluate solely on the information provided in the initial proposal and not assume that an offeror possesses any capability that is not specifically identified in the proposal.

Firms are cautioned that the Government will make no inferences of experience or duration calculations based on general experience or resume submissions.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors [except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)]. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Procuring Contractitng Officer later determines them necessary. If discussions are opened and the Procuring Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Procuring Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

Failure to submit required information for a factor, indicated by the word “shall” or similar verbiage below, will result in a rating of Unacceptable for that factor, and the offeror will be ineligible for award unless the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) decides to hold discussions and includes the offeror in the competitive range.

1. Proposal Submission Requirements

a. The offeror’s proposal shall be submitted in hard copy, with accompanying digital copies as set forth below.

b. The offeror’s proposal shall consist of two volumes:

1) Volume 1-Technical proposal

2) Volume 2-Price proposal

c. Each hardcopy volume shall be submitted in separate three-ring binders that are clearly identified with project title, volume number, solicitation number W912ES22R0001, and the name and contact information of the offeror.

d. Facsimile of proposals and modifications thereto will not be accepted.

e. All pages in the Volume 1-Technical Proposal containing text in response to this RFP shall be consecutively numbered, type-written on 8.5” X 11” paper with margins of at least one inch, and use a font no smaller than 12 with a maximum of 50 pages printed double-sided (25 pieces of paper). Pages beyond the limitation will not be read nor evaluated. All pages of both volumes shall be identified by the prime offeror’s name in the header or footer. Text shall begin at the top of each page. Printing shall be single-spaced. Each paragraph shall be separated by at least one blank line. The submission shall be clearly indexed and logically assembled using a table of contents and tabbed dividers. Tables and illustrations shall use a font size of no less than 12-point. Management Team resumes shall be no more than two (2) pages each and shall be included in the Volume 1-Technical Proposal page count. The Technical Factor Submission Worksheets are included in the Volume 1-Technical Proposal page count. These formatting requirements and page limitations do not apply to the Letters of Commitment, the Mechanical Engineer’s license, nor the required AISC Certification detailed below. Tabbed dividers, the table of contents, or other means of providing an organized proposal do not count towards the page limitation.

f. There are no page limitations for the Volume 2-Price Proposal. All pages in the Price Proposal shall be consecutively numbered and include the prime offeror’s name in the header or footer.

g. Files shall not contain classified data. The use of hyperlinks in proposals is prohibited. The electronic files shall contain identical information to the hard copy files.

If the Contractor proposes a substitution, it shall submit the same type of information that was submitted in the accepted proposal to the Procuring Contracting Officer for evaluation and approval. The level of qualifications and experience submitted in the accepted proposal or that required by the Solicitation, whichever is greater, is the minimum standard for any substitution.

4. Evaluation Process

a. After receipt of proposals, the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will convene. Each member will independently evaluate all submitted proposals according to the evaluation factors set forth in the solicitation as amended, beginning with the Technical proposals. Once the Technical evaluations are completed, the SSEB Chairperson will lead the SSEB in discussions of each proposal, and they will come to a consensus decision as to the acceptability of each factor for each offeror. If the SSEB cannot achieve consensus, the Source Selection Authority (SSA) will resolve the matter. After concluding the evaluations, the SSEB Chairperson will provide an oral briefing of the consensus evaluation results to the SSA and submit a written consensus evaluation report for the record.

b. The written consensus report will detail the reasons for acceptability or unacceptability of proposals noted during the SSEB evaluation. The SSEB will make no recommendation as to which offeror shall receive the award and will not establish a ranking order or order of merit list pertaining to the offers begin evaluated.

Upon completion of the Technical Evaluation Report, the SSEB will evaluate all offered price proposals.

c. The SSEB will evaluate each offeror’s price in terms of unbalancing and for potential performance risks.

The PCO and Contract Specialist will evaluate each offeror’s price per FAR 15.404 to determine price reasonableness. Reasonableness will be determined by comparing offered prices to one another, to the Government estimate, and using pricing for previous work of a similar nature unless additional methods are required.

d. After receiving the SSEB Chairperson’s written, consensus evaluation report and briefing, the SSA, independently exercising his prudent business judgment, will make a source selection decision on the LPTA basis of award as solicited and amended. While the SSA may use reports and analyses prepared by others, the source selection decision is the SSA’s independent judgment. The source selection decision will be documented in the Source Selection Decision Document.

e. If during the evaluation process, any offerors are eliminated from the competition, they will be promptly notified in writing. The notice will state the basis for the elimination and that proposal revisions will not be considered. The PCO will award one contract to the successful, responsible, offeror by furnishing the executed contract or other notice of award to that offeror. Each offeror whose proposal was unsuccessful, will be notified in writing within three (3) days after the date of the contract award. Debriefings will be provided to all offerors who submit timely requests.
