While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the OƯeror.

Each example project must start on a new page and there is no page limitation for CPARS and PPQ’s submission. Pass Performance will not count against the page limitation for this volume.

4.2.2.2 Evaluation Criteria:

IT

AT

The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the oƯeror’s ability to successfully perform this requirement based on the oƯeror’s record of relevant past projects, and the documented level of satisfaction of each project owner after completion of construction.

Past Performance will be determined relevant if a submitted project is similar in size, scope, and complexity to this requirement.

How well the oƯeror performed the prior contracts submitted under Factor 1 will be evaluated by reviewing CPARS evaluations, completed PPQ forms and other information available to the Government.

*NOTE: If an oƯeror does not have a record of relevant past performance or information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the oƯeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (IAW FAR 15.202(c)(1)). A neutral rating shall be considered acceptable.

Each OƯeror shall be assigned one of the two ratings listed below.

Acceptable - Based on the oƯeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the oƯeror will successfully perform the required eƯort, or the oƯeror’s performance record is unknown *(See note above).

Unacceptable - Based on the oƯeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the oƯeror will be able to successfully perform the required eƯort

4.2.3. Tab 2 of the Technical Volume: Factor 2 – Availability of Equipment

4.2.3.1 Availability of Equipment – Evaluation Factor

The OƯeror shall provide a projected timeline and supporting narrative detailing the availability of equipment. The narrative shall be task-oriented, clearly indicating the number of calendar days following pre-construction submittals and mobilization— assumed to occur approximately 30 calendar days after Notice to Proceed (NTP)—by which dredging activities are to commence and be completed.

The narrative shall also include a summary of any failures and/or successes related to equipment availability on the last five dredging projects.

Constraints:

The OƯeror must demonstrate the capability and flexibility of equipment availability to meet the proposed contract completion period. The narrative shall clearly identify any known or anticipated constraints, such as:

• Equipment or labor availability

• Weather impacts

• Other logistical or operational limitations

4.2.3.2 Submission Requirements Evaluation Criteria:

The Government will evaluate the OƯeror’s Availability of Equipment narrative to assess the likelihood that equipment will be provided in a timely and eƯective manner to ensure successful completion of the project within the specified period of performance.

Narratives that clearly demonstrate the OƯeror’s ability to complete dredging within 114 calendar days from Notice to Proceed (NTP), along with a general understanding of potential factors that could impact availability (e.g., labor, weather, logistics), will be considered acceptable.

Proposals that indicate equipment availability or project completion beyond 114 calendar days after NTP will be rated Unacceptable under this factor.

A proposal will be rated as Unacceptable if it does not meet the definition of Acceptable.

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings:

o Acceptable - Proposal meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation o Unacceptable - Proposal does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation

4.3. PRICE VOLUME.

1) Demonstrate that they have adequate financial resources to perform the contract or the ability to obtain them.

2) Be able to comply with the required or proposed delivery or perform schedule, taking into consideration all existing commercial and governmental business commitments.

responsible or not responsible solely based on a lack of relevant performance history except when there are special standards set forth in the solicitation, which applies, to all oƯerors that must be met in order to receive the award.

A prospective contractor that is or recently has been seriously deficient in contract performance shall be presumed to be nonresponsive unless the Contracting OƯicer determines that the circumstances were beyond the contractor's control or that the contractor has taken appropriate corrective action.

Other responsibility considerations by the Contracting OƯicer will include past eƯorts by the contractor to apply suƯicient tenacity and perseverance to perform acceptably, to meet quality requirements of contracts, and the contractor's past compliance with subcontracting plans (if required) under recent contracts.

4) Have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics.

5) Have the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them (including, as appropriate, such elements as production control procedures, property control systems, quality assurance measures, and safety programs applicable to materials to be produced or services to be performed by the prospective contractor and subcontractors).

6) Have the necessary production, construction, and technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them.
