Response: As stated in Amendment 8, there are no rental or leasing costs. Sole ownership of the trailers will be turned over to the Contractor as stated in Section 13 42 00.

INSTRUCTIONS AND EVALUATION

A. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each proposal. Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors described below.

FACTOR 1 – TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE

Technical experience shall include the Construction of new school buildings, demonstrating specialty spaces such as cafeteria, classrooms, gymnasium, science laboratories, and administrative space. Projects must demonstrate experience with all of the following activities.

Offerors that submit single projects that individually demonstrate all of the following activities may be more highly rated:

• Construction on Active School Campus – Show experience constructing a building on an active school campus, with students, bus traffic, and operating classrooms within close proximity to the construction area;

• Demolition of structures in constricted areas where the abatement of hazardous materials such as asbestos and lead was necessary prior to beginning structure demolition;

• Connecting to existing structure(s) and utilities;

• Participating in the construction of LEED-certified projects (silver or better) and in those that achieved LEED certification.

Evaluation Criteria for Factor 1:

Evaluation Criteria: Factor 1 will be evaluated and rated using an adjectival, combined technical/risk rating, in accordance with Table 1, in the Evaluation Approach Section below. The combined technical/risk rating includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings. Factor 1 will be evaluated first, on whether the Offeror’s past projects are relevant and recent to the work under the RFP. Relevancy will be determined by similarity of projects completed (physically or substantially completed) within the past ten (10) years that are similar to this solicitation in size, scope, price, and complexity.

Documentation that demonstrates completion (physically or substantially complete) of at least (2) projects similar in size, scope, price, and complexity to this Hanscom Primary School project and collectively address the four activities above will be considered to have met the minimum requirements of the RFP.
