THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS

The Corrosion Wash Rack Facility project will be Design-Bid-Build (D-B-B) Request for Proposals (RFP).

Project award will be made via a Single-Phase “Best Value Trade-off” basis as described in the evaluation criteria.

Proposals must be submitted on time.

The Louisville District is located within the Eastern time zone.

The Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will evaluate contractors’ proposals based on specific factors which are defined in the RFP Package.

PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS

Source Selection Criteria for a “Best Value Trade-Off” usually consists of four elements:

Past Performance Evaluation Recent projects, similar in size, and scope

Technical Evaluation Management Plan Schedule Narrative

Small Business Participation Plan

Pro-Forma Evaluation (Price, JV agreements, Bonding, etc.)

Submit your best proposal the 1st time. If we receive an initial proposal that is awardable, discussions may not be opened.

Section 00 22 12 will contain the proposal submission requirements and evaluation criteria. Follow the format described in Section 00 22 12 to keep the proposal in order, success is in the details. Please pay close attention to the requirements of the RFP.

For the Past Performance Factor, we will evaluate both the relevancy of experience and performance quality of prior experience. We will, at a minimum, review CPARS information available but reserve the right to check any and all sources of past performance information. This review will result in an overall assessment of confidence in performance.

For the Technical Evaluation Factor, consider providing specifically tailored approaches for the solicited project. Don’t just tell us how you generally execute construction projects; tell us how you plan to execute this specific project and mitigate project specific risks (schedule, environmental, labor, etc.).

All technical inquiries and questions relating to this solicitation must be submitted via Bidder Inquiry in ProjNet at www.projnet.org/projnet. Information for accessing ProjNet will be included in the solicitation.
