1.2 This is a two-phase procurement, and the basis of award is the Best Value Trade-Off

Process. Potential offerors are invited to submit the information described in this Section 00 22 16 for review and evaluation by the Government. Following completion of the evaluation of Phase I, up to a maximum of ten (10) most highly qualified offerors will be selected to participate in Phase II. The selected offerors for Phase II will be invited to submit the information described in Section 00 22 18, Procedures for Submittal of Offers for Phase II, for review and evaluation by the Government. Price will be evaluated in Phase II through use of a sample project and binding contract rates. No seed task order will be awarded as a result of this solicitation. Only the base MATOCs will be awarded.

Following completion of the Phase II evaluation, the Contracting Officer will target to award seven (7) contracts to the responsible offeror whom the Source Selection Authority determines conforms to the solicitation, are fair and reasonable, and offer the best overall value to the Government, all factors considered. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offers.

2. Submittal of Offers.

2.1 Proposals should follow in the order of sequence set forth in the RFP. Information provided out of sequence may not be evaluated and may result in the offeror’s disqualification from award.

2.4 The complete Volume I for Phase I shall include the following information:

Volume I – Factor I: Past Performance o Prime Contractor o A/E Designer of Record (DOR)

3. Proposal Evaluation Process.

3.1 A Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) comprised of representatives of the Corps of Engineers and User/Customer will evaluate the proposals. Offerors are advised that the technical evaluation and rating of proposals will be conducted in strict confidence.

Technical (Volume I) proposals will be reviewed and rated without knowledge of the price offered. The number and identities of offerors are not revealed to anyone not involved in the evaluation and award process or to other offerors. Proposals will be evaluated based on the factors described herein.

3.2 The evaluation process for Phase I essentially consists of two parts: proposal compliance review and responsibility review, and technical evaluation.

3.2.1 Proposal Compliance / Responsibility Review: The Government will conduct an initial review to determine whether the offeror has submitted a complete and compliant proposal. Offeror proposal compliance will not be evaluated by the government, but the proposal compliance review will verify RFP compliance and whether the offeror submitted all proposal data requested in Volume I and Volume II. Proposals which do not include the information required for Volume I and Volume II, consequently, may be deemed ineligible for award, and may not be further evaluated.

3.2.2 Technical Evaluation: The Government will evaluate and rate the Volume I proposals against the RFP requirements. Factor I – Past Performance will be rated using Tables 1 and 2 below. The rating will be based on overall confidence in performance (Table 2, below), with the final confidence assessment rating based on the extent of recent, relevant past experience (Table 1, below) and the quality of the offeror’s performance. Factor II – Technical Approach will be rated using Table 3 below.

4. Proposal Information and Related Evaluation Factors.

4.1 Phase I proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the factors below, listed in relative order of importance. Offerors are reminded to include their best technical proposal in their initial offer. The initial offer and subsequent Government evaluation will be the basis for the selection of up to ten (10) most highly qualified offerors to continue on to Phase II of the procurement.
