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 Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), conforms to the solicitation requirements, and whose proposal, judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation criteria and other considerations specified in this solicitation, represents the Best Value to the Government. This source selection approach, called Best-Value Tradeoff, includes an evaluation of all factors: Experience, Past Performance, Management Approach, Design Capability and Price.

NOTE: Experience contains a pass/fail elements. The Offerors must submit at least three (3) projects that (the offeror) performed as the prime contractor. In case of a Joint Venture (JV) proposal, the work must have been performed by at least one of the JV partners. Offerors who do not meet that minimum requirement are not eligible for award. The Offeror must have directly performed at least two (2) of the five (5) projects submitted for experience as Design Build.

BASIS FOR AWARD CONTINUED

The relative weight of the evaluation factors is as follows Experience is significantly more important than Past Performance, Past Performance is significantly more important than Management Approach, Management Approach is significantly more important then Design Capability and when the four non-price factors are combined, they are approximately equal to Price.

The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest proposed price. The greater the equality of technical 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 competition based upon an assessment that the Offeror does not understand the requirement or the Offeror has made an unreasonable proposal. The awarded contract will incorporate the successful Offeror's proposal to the extent it offers betterments and does not conflict with the Request for Proposal.

CONTRACT AWARD

One (1) contract will be awarded

Responsible in Accordance with FAR 9.104. Contractor Qualification: contractor determined to be responsible

Conforms to Solicitation Requirements

Proposal Represents Best Value to Government. We can award to other to the lowest overall evaluated price
