SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

SECTION M EVALUATION FACTORS

SECTION M

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1. INITIAL REVIEW OF PROPOSALS

Proposals will be reviewed for general conformance with the solicitation requirements. Proposals that do not generally conform to the solicitation requirements may be considered to have a “critical defect”, i.e. a defect that cannot be remedied by exchanges and/or permitted proposal revisions. If a proposal is suspected of having a critical defect, it will be brought to the immediate attention of the Source Selection Authority (SSA). If the SSA determines that there is a critical defect, the proposal will not be evaluated further and will be eliminated from further consideration. The affected offeror shall be promptly notified of the decision.

2. SOURCE SELECTION

All proposals conforming to the solicitation requirements will be evaluated in accordance with the requirements of Sections “L,” “M,” and the Source Selection Plan. The principal objective of the evaluation process is to make award of a contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal is determined to be the “best value” to the Government, price and other factors considered. Should the Government determine that the award of a contract is not in the best interest of the Government, the contract award will not take place.

3. SOURCE SELECTION EVALUATION BOARD (SSEB)

A Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will be established to conduct the evaluation of proposals received in response to this solicitation. The evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal and any subsequent discussions required, as well as information obtained from other sources, e.g. past performance information. The SSEB will not consider any information or data incorporated by reference or otherwise referred to. The identities of the SSEB personnel are confidential, and any attempt by the offerors to contact these individuals is prohibited.

4. EVALUATION CRITERIA

An initial proposal screening process will be applied to each proposal received to establish if the offer meets the minimum technical requirements of the specifications. Failure to receive a “Pass” for each of these criteria may disqualify the offeror from further consideration for award.

As established in Sections L “Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors” and M, “Evaluation Factors for Award” of the solicitation, the following criteria will form the basis of proposal evaluation. Volume 1 – Technical Proposal is divided into three four (34) factors. Volume 2 – Non technical proposal will be subjectively evaluated. The following table reflects the proposal format and relative importance of areas that the SSEB shall thoroughly review and evaluate.

4.1 Technical merit shall be evaluated for each major factor and sub-factor Factor 1, 3, and 4 and each Subfactor under Factor 1 contained in Volume 1. Technical merit, which reflects the Government’s confidence in each offeror’s ability, as demonstrated in its proposal, to perform the requirements stated in the RFP, shall be evaluated based on the following:

4.1.1 Outstanding: Proposal meets requirements and indicates numerous examples of directly applicable and successful experience and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

4.1.2 Good: Proposal meets requirements and indicates more than the minimum number of examples of directly applicable and successful experience a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

4.1.3 Acceptable: Proposal meets requirements and indicates the minimum number of examples of directly applicable and successful experience 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.

4.1.4 Marginal: Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not indicated the minimum number of examples of directly applicable and successful experience and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths.

Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

4.1.5 Unacceptable. Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies.

Proposal is unawardable.

4.2 Past Performance Evaluation. The past performance evaluation results in an assessment of the Government’s confidence in the ability of the Offeror to meet the solicitation requirements. The past performance evaluation considers each Offeror’s demonstrated record of performance on recent and relevant projects that involve a similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities as this solicitation requires. One performance confidence assessment rating is assigned for each Offeror after evaluating the Offeror’s recent past performance, focusing on performance that is relevant to the contract requirements. Past Performance Confidence ratings will be assigned to Factor 2 in Volume 1, Past Performance.

4.2.1 Past Performance Relevancy Ratings shall be done for each major factor and sub-factor contained in Volume I, Past Performance. Relevancy Evaluation. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings assess the risks associated with each offeror’s likelihood of success in performing requirements stated in the RFP based on the offeror’s demonstrated performance on recent contracts for relevant work.

Offerors that have no relevant performance record will be given a neutral rating for these factors. The rating criteria are as follows:

4.2.1.1 Very Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

4.2.1.2 2 Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

4.2.1.3 Somewhat Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

4.2.1.4 Not Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

4.2.1.5 Unknown Relevance (Neutral): No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful relevance assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

4.2.2 Confidence Assessment. The Government will next consider how well the offeror performed on the contracts, and determine the relevance of the information by considering the age of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor performance. With respect to relevancy, past performance and technical approach on projects with more relevance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance and technical approach confidence assessment rating than past performance on projects of lesser relevance.

At the conclusion of this process of evaluating past performance, an overall Performance Confidence Assessment Rating is assigned to each offeror under Factor 2, Volume 1. The possible ratings, along with their descriptions, are as follows:

4. 3 2.2.1 Substantial Confidence: Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

4. 3 2.2.2 Satisfactory Confidence: Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

4. 3 2.2.3 Limited Confidence: Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

4. 3 2.2.4 No Confidence: Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

4. 3 2.2.5 Unknown Confidence (Neutral): No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

4.3 The cost/price portion of the proposal will be subjectively evaluated allowing for a “best value” analysis of the proposal as a whole using a trade-off process. Total evaluation price will be determined computed by utilizing the Volume 2, Tab C Sample Project Price Proposal provided by each offeror.

adding the fully burden rates for each discpline listed in each of the five years listed to arrive at a total final price for evaluation purposes.
