SECTION 00120

PROPOSAL EVALUATION AND CONTRACT AWARD

1. GENERAL

a. A Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) comprised of representatives of the Corps of Engineers, User/Customer, and other required personnel, will evaluate the proposals. Offerors are advised that the technical evaluation and rating of the proposals will be conducted in strict accordance in with Section 00 01 10 and 00 01 20 of the solicitation.

In addition, technical/quality proposals are first reviewed and rated by the SSEB without knowledge of the price offered. The number and identities of offerors are not revealed to anyone who is not involved in the evaluation and award process or to other offerors. Proposals will be evaluated on the factors described herein. The lowest price technically acceptable source selection process will be used for this acquisition. This process allows the Government to select a technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price.

Reference FAR 15.101.2.

b. Offerors are reminded to include their best technical and price terms in their initial offer and not to automatically assume that they will have an opportunity to participate in discussions or be asked to submit a revised offer. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions based on initial proposals received; therefore, the proposal shall contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost and technical standpoint.

2. ELIGIBILITY FOR CONTRACT AWARD.

In accordance with FAR 1.602-1(b), no contract shall be entered into unless the Contracting Officer ensures that all requirements of law, executive orders, regulations, and other applicable procedures, including clearances and approvals, have been met. This includes the requirement of FAR 9.103 that no award shall be made unless the Contracting Officer makes an affirmative determination of responsibility. To be determined responsible, a prospective contractor must meet the general standards in FAR 9.104-1 and any special standards set forth in the solicitation in accordance with FAR 9.104-2.

3. EVALUATION PROCESS.

The evaluation process essentially consists of three parts: proposal compliance review and responsibility determination, technical/quality evaluation, and price evaluation.

a. Proposal Compliance Review: This is an initial review to ensure that all required forms and certifications are completed and that both a technical and price proposal were received.

b. Technical/Quality Evaluation: The SSEB will evaluate and rate those proposals passing the first review, above. Proposals will be evaluated against the RFP requirements. Factors will be rated on an “acceptable or “non-acceptable”” basis.

00120 - 3

c. Price Evaluation: The SSEB will evaluate price proposals independent of the technical/quality evaluation. The SSEB will not have access to price information until completion of the technical/quality evaluation.

The proposed price will be analyzed for reasonableness. It may also be analyzed to determine whether it is realistic for the work to be performed; reflects a clear understanding of the requirements; and is consistent with the offeror’s Technical Proposals. All offers with separately priced line items and/or sub line items will be analyzed for unbalanced pricing.

4. EVALUATION FACTORS.

Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the factors listed below.

Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. The offeror who submits the lowest price proposal with a technically acceptable proposal that has received ratings of “Acceptable” on all non-cost factors will be awarded the contract.
