The first Phase of the selection process will determine if the contractor meets the minimum qualifications outlined in the solicitation. If a contractor’s proposal is considered among the highly qualified in Phase I, they will be required to submit additional information for Phase II for evaluation.

Phase I

1. Evaluation Factors:

The following factors will be considered in evaluating the proposals:

a. Factor One (1) - Experience

b. Factor Two (2) - Past Performance

c. Factor Three (3) - Management Approach

The SSA will use the consensus ratings from the evaluation of the Phase I proposal submittals. Offerors evaluated as most qualified will be notified by the Contracting Officer to submit the Phase II Proposal Requirements.

2. Evaluation Factors:

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.304, the following factors will be considered in evaluating the proposals:

a. Factor One (1) – Qualifications of Key Personnel

b. Factor Two (2) – Price

3. Basis for Award:

Subject to the provisions contained herein, award will be made to one (1) Offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, conforms to the solicitation requirements and whose proposal is determined to be technically acceptable, and offers the best-value tradeoff to the Government, with respect to experience, past performance and price. This source selection approach, called Best-Value Tradeoff, includes an evaluation of all factors: experience, past performance, qualifications of key personnel, organizational management approach, and price. The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest proposed price offeror; however, the degree of importance of price as a factor will become greater as the non-price factors of proposals approach equality. The greater the equality of non-price factors of proposals, the more important price shall become in selecting the best-value to the Government.

Unreasonably high or low proposed prices may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from the competitive range based upon an assessment that the Offeror does not understand the requirement or the Offeror has made an unreasonable proposal.

Relative Importance of Factors: The proposals will be evaluated based on the five (5) evaluation factors;

Phase I: Factor One (1) Experience, Factor Two (2) Past Performance and Factor Three (3) Organizational Management Approach; Phase II: Factor One (1) Qualifications of Key Personnel and Factor Two (2) Price. All non-price factors are of equal importance and when combined are approximately equal to price.

4. Discussions:

It is the Government’s intent to award without discussions. However, in accordance with FAR 15.306, should discussions become necessary, the Government reserves the right to hold them. If this occurs, a competitive range will be determined and Offerors notified in accordance with FAR 15.503.

5. Competitive Range:

The competitive range may be limited for purposes of efficiency in accordance with FAR 15.306(c)(2).

Offerors are urged to reflect their best possible terms, to include price related elements, since less than the best potential terms / prices could result in the exclusion of the proposal from further consideration.

6. The following are definitions of commonly used terms in the evaluation process:

Significant Strength is an aspect of an Offeror’s proposal that has appreciable merit or appreciably exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be appreciably advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Strength is an aspect of an 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.

Weakness means a flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance (see FAR 15.001).

Significant Weakness in a proposal is a flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance (see FAR 15.001).

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 (see FAR 15.001).

Phase I

Factor One (1) – Experience

Evaluation Criteria:

1. The Offeror will be evaluated on the depth and the relevancy of the experience as submitted in the proposal in accordance with the following criteria:

a. Projects that demonstrate experience working in Latvia.

b. Projects with a cost of $250,000 to $1,000,000. (Offerors are allowed to use higher value contracts if there is a scope of work with a measurable performance period and measureable monetary value within the larger project. An example could be a single contract that includes separate facilities, buildings, or Phased construction. Offerors shall clearly describe this project and how it related to the overall contract. (Smaller projects bundled into a larger project are not considered relevant.)

c. Projects completed within the last 5 years (preceding the date of this solicitation). Projects shall be either completed or more than 50% complete.

d. Projects that demonstrate experience in the followings:

1) Design-build experience.

2) Demonstrate experience in construction practices of repairing and renovating interior walls; leveling concrete floor slabs; tile flooring installation; acoustical suspended ceiling installation; removal and installation of doors and windows; and interior plumbing systems, including fixtures, drains, and piping.

3) Demonstrate experience in the installation and repair/replacement of mechanical systems and HVAC; mechanical rooms, including piping, radiators, hot water storage systems, electrical systems, and panel boards; and communications systems, including, telephone system and LAN equipment, electrical systems with backup power generation.

4) Demonstrate experience in the installation of oil/water separators, asphalt and concrete paving, and vehicle garage facilities

5) Demonstrate experience in exterior building repair and renovation to include paint, plaster, windows and doors, insulation, and stairs and steps

2. Projects demonstrating experience in multiple trades listed above will be considered more relevant than those projects demonstrating one trade.

3. If more than the maximum of three (3) projects are submitted, only the first three (3) will be evaluated.

4. An Offeror will not receive credit under this factor for the relevant experience of an individual or for key personnel experience proposed for this project. An Offeror should not submit base indefinite quantity contracts and multiple award construction contracts as projects, however, individual task orders under those contracts may be submitted as projects.

The adjectival ratings from Factor 1: Experience are listed and defined below:

Rating Description Outstanding Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

Good Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths, which outweigh any weaknesses.

Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses, which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies.

Proposal is un-awardable.

Factor Two (2) - Past Performance

1. There are two (2) aspects to the past performance evaluation. The first aspect is to evaluate the Offeror’s past performance to determine relevancy in comparison to the relevancy criteria established under Factor One (1), Experience. The second aspect is to evaluate the Offeror’s past performance to determine a confidence assessment of the Offeror’s expected performance. With respect to relevancy, more relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future performance and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

2. The Offeror's past performance will be evaluated based on the performance on projects submitted under

Factor One (1), Experience, and any other past performance information obtained and deemed appropriate by the Government. Past performance shall be evaluated in accordance with the following criteria:

a. Quality: The degree to which the Offeror has complied with the contract requirements; met quality standards; was timely in regard to problem resolution without extensive customer guidance; and the shown effectiveness of his prior quality control program.

b. Schedule/Timeliness of Performance: Whether the Offeror met contract completion dates including significant milestones and where schedules were exceeded; and whether the Offeror identified valid justifications for the delays or if liquidated damages were assessed due to late delivery by the Offeror.

c. Customer Satisfaction: The degree to which end-users were satisfied with the project; whether the

Offeror was reasonable and cooperative in regard to resolving disagreements; whether the Offeror was responsive and businesslike with concern for the customer; and whether the Offeror achieved customer satisfaction.

d. Management Personnel/Labor: Whether the Offeror used effective business practices for on-site management for subcontractors, suppliers, materials, and labor force; whether and the extent to which the Offeror displayed an ability to hire and retain a qualified workforce; controlled government/ owner property when applicable; provided a workforce with the required expertise; easily assimilated and incorporated changes in requirements and priorities in response to the owner; and provided an effective overall management and control of projects and programs.

e. Cost/Financial Management: Whether the Offeror met the contract requirements by completing the project at the agreed to price and where not; the extent to which the Offeror was responsible for cost increases; whether the Offeror provided alternative methods that benefited the client; whether the Offeror submitted invoices timely with sufficient documentation to substantiate requested payment;

and whether the Offeror avoided significant unexplained variances from the original price.

f. Safety/Security: The Offeror’s prior record for maintaining an environment of safety, adherence to a safety plan, and compliance with safety requirements, including following safety regulations, housekeeping, and correcting noted deficiencies, as well as the Offeror’s prior compliance with all security requirements and personnel security requirements when applicable.

3. In evaluating relevancy and determining a confidence assessment of past performance, shall also be evaluated in accordance with the following criteria:

a. The relevance of the past performance;

b. How recent the project submitted was performed;

c. Trends in the Offeror’s performance;

d. Evaluations, letters / certificates of appreciation, commendations, and awards from clients; and

e. Positive and / or negative comments that impact evaluation of the Offeror’s past performance.

4. Letters, Certificates, Commendations, and Awards: Additional consideration may be provided for letters of appreciation and commendations provided as part of an Offeror’s proposal, especially for projects submitted in response to Factor One (1), Experience.

5. The Government reserves the right to verify statement the Offeror makes regarding its past performance to determine whether they are substantiated.

6. Unavailability of Past Performance Information: In accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), in the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available; the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

7. Additional Past Performance Evaluation Information:

a. Negative comments received from data gathered by the Government will not necessarily result in an adverse rating. However, negative comments from relevant past performance sources may negatively impact the evaluation of an Offeror’s past performance.

b. The Offeror shall ensure that the identified references and points of contact speak English, if possible, and are aware they may be contacted for information. Offerors are reminded that the Government reserves the right to obtain past performance information from any source available.

The Government may also consider other past performance information in evaluating overall risk associated with a particular Offeror.

c. At no time during the evaluation process, in the debriefing, or after award, will the names of the individuals providing reference information about an Offeror's past performance be revealed to the Offeror or to any other party.

8. The adjectival ratings for Factor Two (2), Past Performance, are listed and defined below:

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

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

Performance Confidence Assessments:

Rating Definition

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

Limited Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent / relevant performance record, the

Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will

No Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent / relevant performance record, the

Government has no expectation that the Offeror will be able to

Unknown Confidence (Neutral)

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.

Factor Three (3): Organizational Management Approach

1. The Government will evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, and any deficiencies in the organization and technical approach. The Government will evaluate the firm’s understanding of design-build and the capability to execute the project. Some additional specific evaluation criteria are listed below.

2. The Government will evaluate the clarity and strength of the overall organization, the structure, and staffing to execute the entire scope of work. The Offeror is required to select and commit to design firms to achieve an “acceptable” rating. Joint venture participants’ contribution to the project should be commensurate with their skills and background.

3. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s capability and intent to comply with the applicable requirements for self-performance of work by the prime contractor in accordance with FAR Clause 52.236- 1.

4. The Government will evaluate the integration of the design and construction firms and the staff during design and construction. The constructor must be actively involved in the design process.

5. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s understanding of the design process and the roles of the designers of record and the Government reviewers. The Government will evaluate the role of the designer in maintaining design integrity throughout the process, including its key roles during construction.

Additional consideration will be given to a team that includes use of local subcontractors (e.g., the key subs for electrical and mechanical, the fire protection subcontractor, fabricators, etc.).

6. The adjectival ratings from Factor 3: Organizational Management Approach are listed and defined below:

Outstanding Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.
