If an offeror is rated unacceptable for any technical part, to include any technical subfactors, and/or past performance, the offeror will not be considered for award and the Government will continue to the next lowest price based on the Seed Task Order 1- 4 Pricing and TEP Spreadsheet (Attachment 7) tab “Total Evaluated Price”. The Government will continue until it has determined that approximately three (3) offerors have acceptable technical ratings (to include all technical subfactors) and past performance is determined acceptable or all proposals are evaluated. The Government will not evaluate any offerors after the Government has determined it has approximately three (3) responsible contractors with acceptable technical proposals, to include all technical factors, subfactors, and past performance.

1. TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTORS

The Government technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical proposals at the subfactor level on an acceptable/unacceptable basis, assigning ratings of Acceptable or Unacceptable as defined below. An overall factor level rating will not be assigned. Proposals with “Unacceptable” technical rating(s) at the subfactor level will not be considered for award.

Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

a. Factor 1: Items of work.

The measure of merit for this subfactor is met when the offeror’s proposed narrative adheres to the requirements of specifications describing the typical equipment, materials, personnel, testing, and the process used to accomplish each unit priced item of work in the IDIQ UNIT PRICES.

b. Factor 2: Detailed Work Schedule.

- Subfactor 2(a); Detailed work schedule SEED TASK ORDER #1 and SEED TASK ORDER #2: The measure of merit for this subfactor is met when the offeror proposes a detailed work schedule providing in a timely manner, appropriate resources (labor, equipment, and materials) in order to perform the work required in the SEED TASK ORDER #1 and SEED TASK ORDER #2 (Attachments 2 and 3) in an expeditious, quality, compliant, and safe manner. The detailed work schedule shall include durations for all major phases of construction and items of work as per the plans and specifications. The offeror shall demonstrate in their schedule how they will complete work concurrently in the multiple geographic locations of SEED TASK ORDER #1 and SEED TASK ORDER #2 (Attachments 2 and 3).

- Subfactor 2(b): Detailed work schedule SEED TASK ORDER #3, Levee Closure Under Emergency Flood

Assume work is currently being accomplish and an emergency levee closure is needed. Contractors shall only utilize onsite equipment used to execute the items of work in seed task order #3.

c. Factor 3: Organizational Chart.

The measure of merit for this subfactor is met when the offeror proposes an organizational chart that identifies all key positions required to execute the items of work in a quality, compliant, and safe manner. The organization chart shall clearly identify lines of authority and be in compliance with the specifications; realizing Specification Section 01 14 40 which requires the Contractor Quality Control (CQC) Manager to be independent of the Site Superintendent.

2. PAST PERFORMANCE

Using past performance references sheets (Attachment 1) and other information independently obtained from

Government or commercial sources, the Government will perform an evaluation of the offerors past performance in order of lowest price listed offeror. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirement. Past performance will be evaluated on the basis of recency, relevancy, and the quality of performance. The Government will first evaluate the recency (current within the last three years) and then relevancy. Past performance submitted which exceeds the three (3) year limitation will not be considered.

a. Recency

The first aspect of past performance is recency. The government will first evaluate the recency (completed, or ongoing, within three (3) years prior to the solicitation closing date) and then the relevancy. Past performance information submitted which exceeds the three (3) year limitation will not be considered.

b. Relevancy

The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is relevancy. The government will assess the offeror’s past performance to determine whether a contractor’s recently accomplished efforts are relevant to the effort to be acquired through this source selection. Relevancy is not separately rated; however, the following criteria will be used to establish what is relevant, which shall include similarity of service/support, complexity, dollar value, contract type, and degree of subcontract/teaming.

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating Definition

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

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

c. Quality Assessment

The third aspect of past performance is quality assessment. The Government will assess the quality of the offeror’s past performance on those recent efforts that were determined relevant by determining how well the contractor performed on the contracts. Documented results from past performance reference sheet (Attachment 1), interviews, CPARS, and other sources. Quality assessments of past performance shall be at rated at a minimum of satisfactory to receive an acceptable rating.

d. Performance Confidence Assessment

The final step is for the team to arrive at a single consensus performance confidence assessment for the offeror, selecting the most appropriate rating from the chart below. This rating considers the assessed quality of the relevant/recent efforts gathered. Ensure the rationale for the conclusions reached are included.

Adjectival Rating Definition

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 below)

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.

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.”

The Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

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 Offeror.

3. PRICE

IDIQ Contract Prices: The Government will review the rates proposed for fairness and reasonableness utilizing some, or all, or the price analysis techniques identified in FAR 15.404-1(b).

Note 1: All questions for pre-proposal site visit must received before 2:00 Central Time 6 July 2017.

Note 2: All RFP questions must be received before 2:00 Central Time 19 July 2017.

All question shall be submitted to Mr. Scott Amos via email scott.b.amos@USACE.army.mil
