1. The overarching evaluation approach for all factors is as follows:

a. 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.

b. 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.

FACTOR 1: PAST PERFORMANCE

Evaluation Criteria:

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s past performance to determine how relevant project work is for recent 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.

The Government will evaluate the depth and the relevancy of the experience as submitted for factor 1 in accordance with the following criteria:

a. Projects that demonstrate experience working in Kosovo or Albania.

b. Project examples that demonstrate experience working with proposed Key

Subcontractors and/or the proposed JV Partners working together are considered more relevant.

c. Projects with a cost of $50,000 to $3,000,000. 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 that shows relevant experience.

Offerors shall clearly describe this project and how it related to the overall contract. Projects outside this range may be considered less relevant. Smaller projects bundled into a larger project in order to meet this cost element are not considered relevant.

d. Projects that demonstrate experience with the renovations of buildings to include structural improvements and renovation of building systems (i.e., electrical, mechanical, doors/windows).

e. New Construction;

f. Design/Build construction projects.

Projects considered recent 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.

Offerors demonstrating experience with multiple projects in multiple trades are considered more relevant.

Projects older than 6 years may be considered but will be considered less relevant.

The Offeror's past performance will be evaluated based on performance of only projects submitted, 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. 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.

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; 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

f. unexplained variances from the original price.

g. 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.

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

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.

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.

NOTE: The prime contractor must have performed at least 3 of the 5 projects submitted. This aspect of Factor 1 is a pass/fail element. Offerors must submit at least 3 projects that were performed by the prime (i.e. the offeror). In case of a Joint Venture, 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 adjectival ratings for FACTOR 1: PAST PERFORMANCE are listed and defined below:

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings:
