8.2. EVALUATION CRITERIA

8.2.1. FACTOR 4 – DESIGN TECHNICAL APPROACH - QUALITY OF BUILDING

SYSTEMS:

a. It is the Army's objective that these buildings will have a 50 year useful life.

The design and construction should provide an appropriate level of quality to ensure the continued use of the facility over that time period with the application of reasonable preventive maintenance and repairs that would be industry-acceptable to a major civilian sector project OWNER. The facility design should consider that the Army may repurpose the use of the facility over the 50 year life. Within that overriding theme the Government will evaluate the Offeror selected systems and components proposed in terms of warranties provided, maintenance considerations (frequency, estimated cost, access, equipment locations), operability (ease of use, placement of control features, simplicity), durability (withstand troop usage, ease of cleaning), sustainability, and energy consumption (HVAC, lighting, power, etc.). The minimum acceptable level of quality for finishes and materials for these buildings are those materials suitable for the expected population and usage.

Residential or similar grade finishes and materials are not acceptable for inclusion in these buildings.

1) The Government encourages the Offeror place emphasis on those design features which optimize and emphasize functional/operational requirements; interior/exterior finishes and systems; and life cycle/ energy efficiency. The following items will be considered in the evaluation of the building systems and materials of the various facilities:

2) Architectural Finishes. Satisfactory proposals include finishes which provide usable spaces for the intended purposes. Proposals will receive additional consideration for materials offered that include extended warranties, longer life expectancies, sustainability, durability (stand up to troop usage), have low maintenance requirements, and enhance the overall life cycle cost efficiency of the facility.

3) Architectural Components and Systems. Satisfactory proposals include components and systems that provide the basic function necessary. Proposals will receive additional consideration for components and systems offered that include extended warranties, longer life expectancies, sustainability, durability (stand up to troop usage), have low maintenance requirements, and enhance the overall life cycle cost efficiency of the facility.

4) Mechanical Components and Systems. Satisfactory proposals include components and systems that provide the basic environmental control function necessary. Proposals will receive additional consideration for components and systems offered that include extended warranties, longer life expectancies, reduce energy consumption, sustainability, maintainability (cyclical maintenance, access, equipment placement), and enhance the overall life cycle cost efficiency of the facility.

5) Plumbing Components and Systems. Satisfactory proposals include components and systems that provide the basic function necessary.

Proposals will receive additional consideration for components and systems offered that include extended warranties, longer life expectancies, sustainability, durability (stand up to troop usage), have low maintenance requirements, and enhance the overall life cycle cost efficiency of the facility.

6) Electrical Components and Systems. Satisfactory proposals include components and systems that provide the basic function necessary.

Proposals will receive additional consideration for components and systems offered that include extended warranties, longer life expectancies, sustainability, durability (stand up to troop usage), have low maintenance requirements, and enhance the overall life cycle cost efficiency of the facility.

7) ATFP Considerations. This consideration verifies the inclusion/compliance with the building related (laminate windows, design for progressive collapse, etc.) ATFP minimum standard constraints included in the Statement of Work. All proposals must be compliant with the ATFP requirements of the Statement of Work to be considered for award. Satisfactory proposals are compliant with all ATFP requirements.

8) Site Utilities Components and Site Systems. Satisfactory proposals include components and systems that provide the basic function necessary. Proposals will receive additional consideration for components and systems offered that include extended warranties, longer life expectancies, and sustainability, have low maintenance requirements, and enhance the overall life cycle cost efficiency of the facility.

9) Energy Conservation: Proposals will receive a Satisfactory rating if they describe a feasible strategy to achieve required energy savings stated in the RFP.

8.2.2. Design Technical Approach – Quality of Building Systems. Will be rated using the following adjectival descriptions.

8.2.2.1. 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.

8.2.2.2. 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.

8.2.2.3. 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.

8.2.2.4. 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.

8.2.2.5. UNACCEPTABLE - Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is unawardable.

9. RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF FACTORS

FACTOR 3 (Design Technical – Building Function and Aesthetics) will be equal in importance to FACTOR 1 (Past Performance) and more important than FACTOR 2 (Design Experience) and FACTOR 4 (Design Technical Approach – Quality of Building Systems).

FACTOR 4 (Design Technical Approach – Quality of Building Systems) is more important than FACTOR 2 (Design Experience).

FACTOR 5 (Price) is LESS important than all other Factors when they are combined.

10. PHASE II – FACTOR 5 – PRICE.

10.1. Price will not be rated, but will be a factor in establishing the competitive range prior to discussions (if held) and in making the best value decision for award of any resultant contract. Prices and mark-ups shall be proposed and submitted on the Task Order Pricing Schedule shown at Section 00010 - Schedule A of the solicitation.

10.2. The Government will perform a price analysis on all proposals received. Price analysis will be performed on Schedule A in accordance with FAR 15.404-1, to determine fairness and reasonableness. Historical price information, competitive price information, the Independent Government Estimate (IGE), or any other pricing tool as necessary will be utilized in this analysis. The evaluation will determine the extent to which the price proposal is consistent with the requirements of the RFP. Offerors are advised that any offer wherein pricing is deemed unfair or unreasonable will be rendered ineligible for award.

10.3. The Government shall use the total evaluated price from Schedule A as the evaluated price for making the best value decision.

11. BASIS FOR AWARD

11.1. Proposals must meet the criteria stated in the RFP in order to be eligible for award, to include capability in accordance with the evaluation criteria and responsibility in accordance with FAR 9.104.

11.2. In order to determine which proposal represents the best value, a comparative assessment of proposals against all source selection criteria in this RFP will be conducted, and in turn, the Government will compare proposals to one another. The Government will award three to five contracts to the responsible Offeror whose technical submittal and price proposal contains the combination of those criteria described in this document offering the best value to the Government.

11.3. The successful Offerors, if any, will be awarded a MATOC with a ceiling of $45 Million and a $2,500.00 guaranteed minimum for the base ordering period.

11.4. As technical ratings and relative advantages and disadvantages become less distinct, differences in price between proposals are of increased importance in determining the most advantageous proposal. Conversely, as differences in price become less distinct, differences in scoring and relative advantages and disadvantages between proposals are of increased importance to the determination.

11.5. The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest reasonably priced Offeror. The right is also reserved to reject any and all offers.

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