The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each proposal: Award will be made to the Offerors whose proposals are the best value to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors. IAW FAR 15.304, the following factors will be considered in evaluating the proposals:

Factor 1 – Design and Construction Experience Factor 2 – Past Performance Factor 3 – Management Approach Factor 4 – Price

C. EVALUATION APPROACH

The overarching evaluation approach for all factors is as follows:

Adequacy of Response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the Offeror’s methods and approach have been adequately and completely considered, defined, and satisfied the requirements specified in the solicitation.

The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which each requirement has been addressed in the proposal in accordance with the proposal submission section of the solicitation.

Feasibility of Approach. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the proposed approach is workable and the end results achievable. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which successful performance is contingent upon proven techniques.

D. DISCUSSIONS

1. GENERAL INFORMATION: The Government does not intend to hold discussions. However, in accordance with FAR 15.306(d), discussion sessions with each Offeror may be held. Should discussions take place, all Offerors in the competitive range will be allowed to submit Final Proposal Revisions.

2. DISCUSSION SCHEDULING: If discussions are conducted, the Contracting Officer may conduct discussions orally, in writing, etc. The method for discussions will be at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer will provide additional instructions with the notification.

VOLUME I

FACTOR 1: Design and Construction Experience Evaluation Criteria:

1. The Government will evaluate the depth and the relevancy of the experience as submitted in the offeror’s proposal in accordance with the following criteria:

(a) Projects demonstrate design and construction experience in Turkey, and/or design and construction experience using U.S. standards. The experience shall not be limited to military type projects.

Same or similar projects performed in the country of Turkey are acceptable. 100% of resources shall from the country of Turkey.

(b) Project examples that demonstrate experience working with proposed Key Subcontractors and/or the proposed JV Partners working together on Design-Build projects are considered more relevant.

(c) The prime contractorOfferor must have performed as the prime on all a minimum of three (3) projects. If the projects were executed by Joint Venture, then then offeror must show evidence of being in the Joint Venture. Offerors who do not meet this minimum requirement are not eligible for award.

(d) Projects with a cost of $5,000,000 to $15,000,000. Offerors may submit higher valued projects if there is a scope of work with a measurable performance period and measureable monetary value within a larger project that is relevant to this procurement. An example could be a single contract that includes separate facilities, or buildings, or phased construction with associated utilities improvements that shows relevant experience. Offerors shall clearly describe this project and how it related to the overall contract.

Projects outside the relevant range may be considered less relevant. Smaller projects bundled into a larger project in order to meet this cost element are not considered relevant.

2. Projects considered relevant shall be completed within the last six (6) years from the date of the solicitation or at least 50% complete by the date of this solicitation; performed in Turkey; between $5,000,000 and $15,000,000; and include the following:

(a) New Construction with associated utility and communication improvements and connections

(b) Design/Build construction projects

(c) Temporary buildings with associated utility and communication improvements and connections

(d) Environmental, to include permitting, hazardous waste removal and disposal, i.e., asbestos

(e) Demolition and site restoration

(f) Concrete and/or asphalt roads, pavements, airfield runway work;

Offerors demonstrating experience with multiple projects in multiple trades are considered more relevant. Projects older than six (6) years, projects not performed in Turkey, or projects valued outside the listed range, may be considered but will be considered less relevant.

Projects that do not meet these criteria above may be given a lower relevancy rating. Projects meeting all criteria will be given a higher relevancy rating.

The combined technical/risk adjectival ratings for FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE are listed and defined below:

Combined Technical/Risk Ratings

ADJECTIVE DEFINITION

OUTSTANDING Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

GOOD Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

ACCEPTABLE Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

MARGINAL Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

UNACCEPTABLE Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable.

The adjectival ratings, defined below, are not separate ratings, but will be used to define the levels of risk in the aforementioned table.

Technical Risk Ratings Adjectival Rating Definition

Low Proposal may contain weakness(es) which have little potential to cause disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Normal contractor effort and normal Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties.

Moderate Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which may potentially cause disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will

High Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which is likely to cause significant disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Is unlikely to overcome any difficulties, even with special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring.

Unacceptable Proposal contains a material failure or a combination of significant weaknesses that increases the risk of unsuccessful performance to an unacceptable level.

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

Evaluation Criteria:

1. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s past performance to determine how relevant project work is, as described in Factor 1 Design and Construction Experience, for the submitted three (3)up to five (5) projects. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s performance to determine a confidence assessment of the Offeror’s 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.

Past Performance will be evaluated for projects completed in the last six (6) years from the date of this solicitation or currently ongoing (at least 50% complete).

The Offeror's past performance will be evaluated based on performance on projects submitted under Factor 1 Experience, to include the past performance of any Subcontractors or JV partners whose projects the Offeror may have submitted. Proposals will be evaluated based on the information provided and any other Past Performance information obtained by the Government, to include, but not limited to, the sources listed in Section 00 21 00 Submission Requirements for Factor 2. Past performance will 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, 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.

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;

successfully managed projects and 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 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.

(g) The Government reserves the right to verify statements the Offeror makes regarding its past performance to determine whether they are substantiated.

2. The Government will consider past performance information in evaluating overall risk associated with a particular Offeror. When evaluating these criteria, the following will be taken into consideration for evaluation purposes:

(a) The relevance of the past performance;

(b) how recently the project submitted was performed;

(c) trends in the Offeror’s performance;

(d) evaluations, letters of appreciation, and commendations from customers; and

(e) positive and/or negative comments that impact evaluation of Offeror’s past performance.

3. Unavailability of Past Performance Information: IAW 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.
