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. Further, the Government reserves the right to create or not to create a competitive range. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

PROPOSAL EVALUATION 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 offeror deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose proposal conforms to all the RFP's requirements. The award will be made based on the lowest price, technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection process. Best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price, with appropriate consideration given to the three (3) evaluation factors:

Technical, Price, and Past Performance. To arrive at a Best Value decision, the Source Selection Authority will integrate the evaluation of Past/Present Performance, Technical and Price as set out in the solicitation.

1.2 To arrive at a Best Value decision, this acquisition will utilize the FAR Part 15.101-2 LPTA 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, past performance 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, Past Performance and 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 and Past Performance Proposal.

1.6 Although the assessment of Past Performance as a specific evaluation factor is separate and distinct from the

Determination of Responsibility required by FAR Part 9, Past Performance information obtained herein will be used during the Government’s responsibility determination. 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. Further, the Government reserves the right to create or not to create a competitive range.

1.8 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 (1) Technical, (2) Past/Present Performance and (3) Price. To arrive at a Best Value decision, the Source Selection Authority will integrate the evaluation of Past/Present Performance, Technical and Price as set out in the solicitation.

2.1.1. The overarching evaluation approach for all factors and subfactors is to determine the acceptability of the response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether each requirement has been addressed in the proposal in order to meet the acceptability standards described in the RFP.

2.2. TECHNICAL PROPOSAL: TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTOR RATINGS:

2.2.1. Technical Rating: 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.

Once the minimum requirements are established, the team shall evaluate the offeror's proposal against these requirements to determine whether the proposal is acceptable or unacceptable, using the ratings and descriptions outlined in Table below. Proposals are evaluated for acceptability, but not ranked using the non-price factors/subfactors. In order to be considered awardable, there must be an "acceptable" rating in every non-price factor/subfactor.

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

2.2.2 Construction Schedule. The Construction Schedule is an integrated and networked multi-layered schedule of program/project tasks. It identifies project events, accomplishment, and criteria and the expected dates of each.

These dates are based on the calendar dates provided as the starting point and the logical flow of dates provided by calculating the addition of duration of all tasks using typical schedule networking tools. Each major task will be directly traceable to the requirements of the project. The NTP date for the schedule is for the purpose of evaluation only.

2.2.2.1 The offeror shall provide a Construction Schedule in a Gantt chart that shows the complete project schedule from the Notice to Proceed date of 30 September 2018 (estimated) and a completion date of 545 days after NTP and shall include a maximum of 30 activities and or milestones. At a minimum, the schedule shall include the following milestones and activities:

• NTP

• Submittals

• Mobilization

• Site Demo/Excavation

• Underground Utilities

• Concrete footings/slabs

• Masonry Walls

• Structural Steel

• Roofing

• Ext. Metal Wall Panels

• Interior Wall Framing

• MEP Rough-in/Fire Sprinkler rough-in

• High Expansion Foam (HEF) Testing

• HVAC commissioning

• Demobilization

• Final Acceptance / Contract Completion

The schedule must be submitted in a readable, digital format (i.e. PDF, MS Project or large format 36 x 48).

To be considered “Technically Acceptable”, the schedule must show:

• The logical work breakdown structure, realistic activity durations, correct sequencing, and logical task interdependencies.

• Schedule shall have the attributes detailed in section 01 32 17.00 20 Cost-Loaded Network Analysis Schedules.

• Offeror shall use 30 September 2018 as the estimated Notice to Proceed (NTP) date and a project duration of 545 days after the NTP.

• The proposal shall include a narrative discussing the scheduling processes and resource allocation to ensure completion, control of schedule progress from beginning to end of the project.

2.3 PAST/PRESENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

2.3.1 Past Performance Factor. The proposal of the Lowest Price Offer who is deemed Technically Acceptable will be evaluated for Past Performance on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. An offeror shall obtain an Acceptable rating to continue in the competition. Offerors who rate unacceptable in Past Performance will be removed from further consideration for award. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the Plans and Specifications. The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the offeror's probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the offeror's record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements. The Past/Present Performance evaluation will consider such things as an offeror's business practices, customer relationship, ability to successfully perform as proposed, and other considerations as described in Past/Present Performance Sub-factors, elements and other considerations. Past/Present Performance includes current/on-going (present) performance complete to 70% percent. Projects currently in progress for the National Guard will also be considered regardless of percentage complete. In assessing performance confidence, the evaluator may: (1) evaluate present and past performance information through the use of questionnaires completed by the offeror's references; (2) use data independently obtained from other Government or commercial sources; from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; (3) interview Program/Project Managers or Contracting Officers, or rely upon personal business experience with the offeror; (4) use the information provided in the Offeror’s Past Performance Relevancy Questionnaire; and (5) consider any information the offeror submits which explains any problems encountered on the identified contract and the offeror's corrective actions. The Government reserves the rights to obtain and evaluate past performance information from any source it deems appropriate.

2.3.2. The evaluation may take into account Past/Present Performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to this acquisition. The evaluation will also consider information provided relative to corrective actions taken to resolve problems on past or existing, contracts.

2.3.3. An offeror with no relevant Past/Present Performance may receive a rating based on the evaluation of its predecessor companies, key personnel, and/or subcontractors provided the offeror clearly states in the proposal that the information provided about predecessor companies, key personnel, and/or subcontractors is for the purposes of enhancing the offerors past performance proposal. These ratings may not have the same weight as the ratings of the proposing company. The weight that will be afforded for this type of past performance is within the sole discretion of the Government. If such information is not applicable (i.e., the offeror does not have a predecessor company, key personnel or subcontractors with relevant experience), the offeror shall be evaluated as Neutral. However, the proposal of an offeror with no relevant Past/Present Performance history, while rated Neutral in Past Performance, may not represent the most advantageous proposal to the Government and thus, may be an unsuccessful proposal when compared to the proposal of other offerors.

NOTE: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or "neutral") past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered acceptable.

2.3.4. “Current” means performance occurring within the last 10 years for the period beginning 10 years prior to the solicitation release date. Within this period, performance occurring later in the period may have greater significance than work occurring earlier in the period.

2.3.5. The following apply to weighting relevancy considering all the elements listed above;

2.3.5.1. VERY RELEVANT - Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

2.3.5.2. RELEVANT - Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

2.3.5.3. SOMEWHAT RELEVANT- Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

2.3.5.4. NOT RELEVANT - Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

2.3.6. The following ratings and related definitions will be used to define the performance confidence assessment.

Based on the evaluation results, the evaluators will assign the Past Performance factor one of the ratings as defined below.

NOTE: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or neutral) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered "acceptable".

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror's performance record is unknown. (See note above)

Unacceptable Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

3. PRICE EVALUATION

3.1. The proposal of the Lowest Price Offer who is deemed Technically Acceptable and has acceptable Past Performance will be evaluated to determine if the proposal is realistic and reasonable. This contract is a firm fixed price contract.

Price is not rated. The purpose of the price/cost evaluation is to determine whether an offeror's proposed prices/costs for the project are determined to be fair and reasonable in comparison to the competition, the current market conditions and/or recent prices for the same or similar requirements. 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).

3.2. All offers will be analyzed to determine if the prices are unbalanced (FAR 15.404-1(g)). Offers may be rejected if it is determined the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

3.3 The Government will…
