3. EVALUATION FACTORS

3.1. FACTOR 1: OFFEROR PAST PERFORMANCE. The Government will evaluate the Offeror's past performance using the sources available to it including the example projects identified by the Offeror, and information available from CCASS. Offerors may be provided an opportunity to address any negative past performance information about which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. The Government treats an Offeror's lack of past performance as neutral that is, having no positive or negative evaluation significance. The Government will evaluate past performance based on the elements listed below:

Quality of Work. Based on information provided in the example projects provided by the offeror and other information, the Government will assess the quality of the actual construction undertaken and the standards of workmanship exhibited by the Offeror’s team.

Timeliness of Performance. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the Offeror completing past projects within the scheduled completion times.

Documentation. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the timeliness and quality of the documentation, reports, and other written materials completed by the Offeror on past projects.

Customer Satisfaction. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the Offeror’s past customer satisfaction, cooperation with customers, and interaction on past projects.

Subcontractor Management. The Government will evaluate all information available with respect to the Offeror’s management of subcontractors on past projects.

3.1.1 Contractor Team Arrangements Evaluation. In accordance with FAR Part 9, the Government will recognize the integrity and validity of contractor team arrangements; provided, the arrangements are identified and company relationships are fully disclosed in the offer. Past Performance evaluation will not take into account the past performance information regarding predecessor companies; or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, unless identified in Contactor Team Arrangements. The submission must contain a narrative that clearly explains the relevance of the submitted information concerning a company that is part of a Contract Team Arrangement. The Government will consider the adequacy of this explanation in deciding the relevance and weight of the information to this procurement.

3.1.2 The Government treats an Offeror's lack of past performance as having no positive or negative evaluation significance. Past performance, which is considered by the Government to be similar in size and scope to this project, as defined in paragraph 4.1 of this section, may be considered by the Board to be more advantageous. The Government will evaluate past performance based on the elements listed below:

3.2. FACTOR 2: CORPORATE RELEVANT SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE. The Government will review the example projects provided by the Offeror to evaluate and rate the recent experience of the Offeror in similar projects. Similar means Construction projects similar in size, scope and complexity of this project with a value greater than $1 million. with a value greater than $1 Million. Offerors are encouraged to provide descriptive analysis of why they feel their example projects meet the criteria for corporate relevant specialized experience. If the Offeror cannot provide suitable relevant experience and the evaluators consider that the information provided indicates that the Offeror has no relevant experience, a determination will be made as to the risk this lack of corporate experience presents to the Government and the proposal may be rated UNACCEPTABLE

5. PROPOSAL EVALUATIONS. 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 price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. This document establishes a uniform evaluation procedure for the technical evaluation phase of the solicitation based on criterion identified in the Solicitation. The Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will evaluate each proposal individually using the qualitative procedures that follows:

5.1. Each member of the SSEB will independently consider all information provided in the proposal. Once these individual analyses are completed, the SSEB will assign a consensus rating for each evaluation factor. It is the responsibility of each member of the SSEB to provide and document sufficient strengths, weaknesses, and/or deficiencies to support the assigned rating for each factor of Acceptable or Unacceptable. Comments are required for all ratings. Following the completion of the individual evaluations, a consensus evaluation will be derived. The SSEB will not consider any documents incorporated by reference, except as expressly allowed by this solicitation.

5.2 The Government may contact sources other than those provided by the Offeror for information with respect to past performance. These other sources may include CCASS (Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System), telephone interviews and Government personnel with personal knowledge of the Offeror’s performance capability.

5.3 The final overall rating along with ratings on individual factors, to include all support documentation, will be provided to the Source Selection Authority. The Contracting Officer/Source Selection Authority, independently exercising prudent business judgment, will determine which Offeror, if any, will receive the contract award.

5.4 All proposals received will be subjected to an initial screening by the Contracting Officer to determine whether proposals are complete in accordance with the solicitation and whether they warrant further consideration.

Proposals that fail this initial screening process may be rejected and the offeror will be notified they are no longer eligible for further consideration.

5.5 Offerors are reminded that unsupported promises to comply with contractual requirements will not be sufficient.

Proposals must not merely parrot back the contractual requirements, but rather provide substantive, understandable and realistic evidence to support promised performance. Any inconsistency whether real or apparent, between promised performance and price should be explained. Unexplained inconsistencies resulting from the offeror’s lack of understanding of the nature and scope of work required may be grounds for rejection of the proposal.

6. RATING METHODOLOGY

6.1 Proposals will be evaluated in each Evaluation Factor based on the following rating scheme:

6.2 ACCEPTABLE (A) The offeror has presented a satisfactory approach to the RFP requirements that meet or exceed the minimum requirements of the RFP. The narrative provided indicates that the offeror will provide the definable features of work required to meet the RFP requirements. The approach provided demonstrates that the offeror will meet or exceed the minimum requirements of the RFP. Weaknesses, if any, are minor and need not be corrected prior to award.

6.3. UNACCEPTABLE (U) The offeror has presented no approach to the technical requirements that meets the minimum requirements of the RFP. The narrative provided does not indicate that the offeror will provide the definable features of work required to meet the minimum RFP requirements. Overall, the proposed organizational structure would not be responsive to the requirements of the RFP. Without major revision, the proposal has no chance of becoming technically acceptable.

7. PROPOSAL RATING

7.1 Each member of the Government evaluation team will consider all information provided in the proposal. Once these individual analyses are completed the team will meet and determine a rating for each of the evaluation factors by consensus decision.

7.2 Following completion of the consensus rating, each proposal will be assigned a single overall ACCEPTABLE or UNACCEPTABLE rating. This final overall rating, along with ratings on individual factors, will be provided to the Contracting Officer/Source Selection Authority and used in making the determination of which Offerors are eligible for award.

7.3 It is the responsibility of the Source Selection Evaluation Team to provide and document sufficient strengths, weaknesses, and omissions to support the ACCEPTABLE or UNACCEPTABLE rating for each factor as well as the overall rating.

8. FACTOR 3: PRICE.

8.1 Price will not be rated but will be evaluated as to its fair and reasonableness. Pricing for the contract shall be completed and submitted on the Pricing Schedule shown at Section 00010 of the solicitation.

8.2 The Government will perform a price analysis on all technical acceptable proposals received for the contract.

Price analysis will be performed in accordance with FAR 15.404-1, to determine fairness and reasonableness as well as to assure an understanding of the work and ability to execute the contract at price proposed. The evaluation will determine the extent to which the price proposal is consistent with the requirements of the RFP. Historical price information, competitive price information, the Independent Government Estimate (IGE), or any other pricing tool as necessary will be utilized in making this determination. Offerors are advised that any offer wherein pricing is deemed unfair or unreasonable will be rendered ineligible for award.

9. BASIS FOR AWARD

9.1 Proposals must meet the criteria stated in the RFP in order to be eligible for award, to include responsiveness, technical acceptability and responsibility.

9.2 Award will be made to that Offeror whose proposal is technically acceptable and has the lowest price that is determined fair and reasonable.

9.3 The Government reserves the right to reject any and all offers.

9.4 Offerors are reminded to include their best technical and price terms in their initial offer and not to assume that they will have an opportunity to participate in discussions or be asked to submit a revised offer.

The contract resulting from this solicitation will be awarded based on the following evaluation factors:

9.5 Responsibility: Offerors must meet the standard for FAR 9.104.
