The original for each volume will be clearly identified on the cover and the spine. All binders will allow for easy removal and replacement of pages.

3.3.6. Indexing: Each binder will contain a “Table of Contents” for that volume. The “Table of Contents” will identify major areas, paragraphs and subparagraphs by number and title, as well as by page number and volume locations. Tab indexing will be used to identify Sections as appropriate.

3.3.10. The offeror shall be held responsible for the validity of all information supplied in his/her proposal, including that provided by potential subcontractors. Should subsequent investigation disclose that the facts and conditions were not as stated, the proposal may be rejected.

3.4. PROPOSAL VOLUME CONTENTS: Each offeror’s proposal shall be submitted as set forth below and all information shall be confined to the appropriate part to facilitate independent evaluation.

SECTION 00120 PROPOSAL EVALUATIONS AND BASIS FOR AWARD

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. This solicitation is for a Firm Fixed Price Contract. The Government intends to award a single contract to a qualified Small Business. Offeror deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose proposal conforms to all the RFP's requirements and is judged to represent the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) to the Government in accordance with the evaluation scheme set out in this solicitation. The LPTA proposal is the lowest priced offer that meets or exceeds the technical factors consistent with the Government's stated importance of evaluation criteria. Please note that the evaluation scheme for this solicitation is in accordance with Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable approach (FAR 15.101-2).

1.2. To arrive at a decision this acquisition will utilize the FAR Part 15.101-2 process. While the

Government and the Source Selection Authority will strive for maximum objectivity, the evaluation process, by its nature, is subjective and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire evaluation process.

1.3. The source selection process will be conducted in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.3, Source Selection procedures. Offers will be evaluated using the criteria listed in “Evaluation Factors for Award.”

Noncompliance with the RFP requirements may raise serious questions regarding an offeror’s technical ability and/or pricing and may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award. Failure to include all information requested may adversely affect the evaluation. A proposal that merely reiterates or promises to accomplish the requirements of the RFP will be considered unacceptable. A proposal that is orderly and sufficiently documented will be easy for the Government to understand and will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation.

1.4. The Contracting Officer will begin the evaluation process by conducting a proposal compliance review for all timely-received proposals for determination of basic proposal adequacy prior to providing the proposals to the evaluators. Failure to provide a complete proposal may result in the proposal being removed from further consideration for award. Failure to address any factor Technical or Price or any technical subfactor shall be grounds for elimination from evaluation and consideration for award.

1.5. Offerors must ensure that no pricing information is displayed in Volume 2, Technical Proposal.

1.6. The Government also reserves the right to obtain additional information solely for the purpose of making a responsibility determination from all offerors after receipt of proposals. Requests for responsibility information do not constitute discussions.

1.7. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer, in his/her sole discretion, later determines them to be necessary or appropriate.

1.8. The Government reserves the right to reject any or all offers if such action is in the Government's best interest.

1.9. ENFORCEABILITY OF PROPOSAL: The proposal must set forth full, accurate and complete information as required by this solicitation. By submission of the offer, the Offeror agrees that all items proposed (if applicable e.g., key personnel, subcontractors, etc.) will be utilized for the duration of the contract and any substitutions shall require prior Contracting Officer's approval.

2. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

2.1. The evaluation factors are Price and Technical Capability. The relative importance of the evaluation factors is as follows: Technical is approximately equal to the Price Factor. The evaluation process will follow a sequence in which proposals will be ranked low to high by price. The process will continue beginning with the lowest priced proposal evaluated based on Technical capability. At the point where the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal is determined the remaining proposals will not be evaluated. If the lowest priced proposal is deemed technically unacceptable the next lowest priced proposal will then be technically evaluated. This process will continue in order of price ranking until a technically acceptable proposal is determined. The Technical Factor will be evaluated rated as “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable.” In rank order, if an offeror is deemed to be unacceptable, it will be set aside and will not continue further in this competition. Pricing is always evaluated to determine if it is reasonable and realistic. If pricing is deemed “unreasonable,” or “unrealistic,” based on government estimates and funding available for this project an award will not be made.

2.1.1. TECHNICAL CAPABILITY: Technical Capability will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. An offeror shall obtain an “Acceptable” rating to continue further in the competition. Offerors who are deemed to merit an “Unacceptable” rating in the Technical Capability Factor will be removed from further consideration for award. Technical Capability Limited to 10 pages (Resumes or experience cut sheets, NTE 2 pages each are not included in page count.)

2.1.2. Subfactor 1 - Experience and Capability -To be deemed “Acceptable” the proposal must demonstrate experience and capability to perform a project of this magnitude and complexity. The proposal also needs to demonstrate that the named key construction personnel, to include but not limited to, Project Manager, Site Superintendent and Quality Control Manager have experience and required qualifications in assigned roles. If there is no such experience, the onus is solely on the offeror to indicate in detail how the offeror plans to overcome this lack of experience. The Government, in its sole and broad discretion, will analyze the above-referenced plans to overcome the lack of experience.

2.1.3. Subfactor 2- (USGBC) LEED® -Not Used.

2.1.4 Subfactor 3 - EXHIBIT G – Environmental Protection Plan for Contractors -- To be deemed “Acceptable” the proposal must demonstrate adherence to the standards set forth in EXHIBIT G

2.2. PAST/PRESENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION -- NOT USED

3. PRICE EVALUATION

3.1. The purpose of the price/cost evaluation is to determine whether an offeror's proposed prices/costs for the project are reasonable and realistic in relation to the solicitation requirements and demonstrates the offeror understands the proposal requirements. Price is not rated.

3.2. The Government reserves the right to obtain additional information concerning the price (cost) as necessary to obtain a better understanding of the price proposed. No proposal revisions will be allowed under these conditions. Request for such information is for clarification purposes only. This does not constitute and shall not be construed as discussions.

3.3. The Government will conduct a price/cost evaluation of the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal to determine whether or not it complies with the stated criteria: "Reasonableness" and “Realism". Affordability may also be considered. If there are multiple projects in the solicitation, pricing will address each project as a separate evaluation for "Reasonableness" and “Realism" and “Affordability.” The LPTA proposal evaluated as not satisfying all of the price/cost criteria may be eliminated from further consideration, as well as all higher priced proposals, unless the Contracting Officer determines:

3.3.1. A minor clerical error has occurred, in which case the offeror may be given an opportunity to correct the minor error within the constraints of the "clarifications" process or

3.3.2. The Contracting Officer in his/her sole discretion later determines discussions to be necessary or appropriate.

3.4. Reasonableness of an offeror's proposal is evaluated through cost or price analysis techniques as described in FAR Subpart 15.305(a)(1) and (4). For cost (Price) to be reasonable, it must represent a cost (Price) that provides value to the Government when consideration is given to prices in the market and functional capabilities of the offeror. A price reasonableness analysis is primarily concerned with determining whether or not an offered price is too high.

3.5. Realism is evaluated by assessing the compatibility of proposed costs with proposal scope and effort. For cost (Price) to be realistic, it must reflect what it would cost the offeror to perform the effort if the offeror operates with reasonable economy and efficiency. Proposals unrealistically low in price, when compared to the Government estimate, and/or market conditions evidenced by other competitive proposals received, may be indicative of an inherent lack of understanding of the solicitation requirements and may result in proposal rejection without discussion. Any inconsistency, whether real or apparent, between proposed performance and price must be clearly explained in the price proposal. For example, if unique and innovative approaches or conditions are the basis for an unbalanced/inconsistently priced proposal, the nature of these approaches and their impact on price must be completely documented. The burden of proof of cost (Price) realism rests solely with the offeror. A price realism analysis is primarily concerned with determining whether or not an offered price is too low.

3.6. Discounts: Prompt payment discounts will not be considered in the evaluation of offers. However, any offered discount will form part of the award, and will be taken if payment is made within the discount period indicated in the offer by the offeror. As an alternative to offering a prompt payment discount in conjunction with the offer, offerors awarded contracts may include prompt payment discounts on individual invoices.

3.7. In the event the Government does not award a contract pursuant to this solicitation within 60 calendar days after receipt of proposals and award will be made without discussions, the following will apply:

3.7.1. The Government reserves the right to allow offerors to make an adjustment in their price proposals to accommodate cost changes caused by fluctuating construction material market conditions. The Contracting Officer will notify Offerors, normally by electronic mail (email) of a common closing date for receipt of the adjusted price proposals. No additional proposal revisions will be allowed under these conditions. This does not constitute and shall not be construed as discussions.

3.8. In the event the current prevailing Wage Determination is changed by the Department of Labor after the closing date of this solicitation, the updated Wage Determination will be incorporated by amendment and issued to all offerors that have not been eliminated from the competition. If applicable, these offerors/contractors will be given a reasonable opportunity to provide revised proposals solely to amend proposals due to Wage Determination changes. This does not constitute and shall not be construed as discussions if award without discussions is contemplated.

4. AWARD and DEBRIEFINGS

4.1. Award: A written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer shall be deemed to result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

4.2. Debriefings

4.2.1. Offerors excluded from the competitive range or otherwise excluded from the competition before award may submit a written request for a debriefing to the Contracting Officer in accordance with FAR 15.505.

4.2.2. After award, unsuccessful offerors may submit a written request for a debriefing to the

Contracting Officer in accordance with FAR 15.506.
