SECTION 00 21 16 - INSTRUCTIONS TO PROPOSERS

The following have been modified:

BASIS OF AWARD

BASIS OF AWARD

A. BASIS OF AWARD. The award will be evaluated on a Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, considering past performance. Subject to the provisions contained herein, the Government intends to award a single contract resulting from the solicitation, to the Offeror whose response conforms to the Statement of Work and is technically acceptable, and provides the lowest total price for the actual contract line items awarded.

B. EVALUATION FACTORS. Each offeror’s response will be evaluated Acceptable/Unacceptable. Any factor or sub-factor rated as “unacceptable” will result in an overall factor rating of “unacceptable”. Factor III - Price will not be scored or rated. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 15.404-1(b).

If contractor don’t comply with all this requirements, they are going to be disqualified.

1. Factor I - Technical criteria elements consist of the following:

(a) Project Schedule: The offerors’ project schedule will be evaluated to ensure performance will be completed on time IAW the contract period of performance and that the offeror has demonstrated a clear understanding of the project. As a minimum, the following will be evaluated:

(1) Meeting the minimum 180-day schedule

(2) Identifying a critical path that shows the essential elements that must be accomplished prior to the start of follow on work

(3) Clearly identifies Government inspection and permit approval time

(4) Includes Colombian holidays and slack time planned for weather or local security related delays.

(b) Proposed Equipment/Materials Specifications: The offeror’s proposed material and equipment will be evaluated to ensure that meet the specifications of the SOW and the solicitation. The material specifications shall include the manufacturers’ warranty information. All equipment and materials shall still require a submittal for the Contracting Officer and the Government Technical Representative’s approvals as outlined in the project specifications

2. Factor II – Past Performance. The Government will evaluate the Construction projects or contracts submitted in order to evaluate past performance. Past performance relates to how well a Contractor has performed on previous contracts. The Government may contact references to verify past performance. If the Government is aware of contracts that meet the requirements of this solicitation but have not been included in the three (3) contracts submitted, it may evaluate those contracts in addition to those submitted. In the event an offeror has no relevant past performance, offeror’s may submit past performance information for the key personnel proposed. If an offeror, or the proposed employees for the offeror do not have a past performance history relating to this solicitation, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor (rating will be unknown or acceptable). In order to be considered for award, the offeror’s past performance rating must be evaluated as acceptable. In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror’s Past Performance submittal and information obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or similar systems, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and commercial sources.

Recency Assessment: To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past 3 years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

Relevancy Assessment: To be relevant, the effort must be similar in nature of work, size and complexity. The Government will conduct evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine if it is the same or similar in nature of work, size and complexity to the construction being procured under this solicitation.

References: The offerors’ references will be evaluated for:

(1) Physical completion within the past three years

(2) Similar in magnitude to the disclosure of magnitude amount on Page 1 of the solicitation

(3) Similar in construction features to the specifications provided in the solicitation.

(4) Contractor should have at a minimum 5 years of experience on solar panel lighting projects.

(5) Contractor should have an electrical engineer as project manager and field Engineer with at least 10 years of experience on solar lighting projects.

Contractor needs to provide evidence with recent project information, valid Point of contact (i.e. name, phone, and email). If Colombia issue a license for such contractor, then a current license should also be included.

(6) Detailed list of materials with specs for solar panels, LED lights, light brackets, arrestor, batteries, grounding, lighting rod, and accessories required to have perimeter light in operation.

3. Factor III – Price

(a) Prices evaluated as unreasonably high may be grounds for eliminating an offer from the competitive range. Price will be evaluated to determine if the offeror’s proposed price is fair, reasonable, and balanced utilizing price analysis techniques in accordance with the guidelines in FAR 15.404-1(b). Supporting documentation shall be included in the price submission, which includes the price breakdown schedule of the prices.

(b) Unless otherwise specified, offerors shall submit prices for all CLINs. Failure to submit a price for any CLIN/sub-CLIN shall result in the proposal being considered unacceptable

c) Total evaluated price shall be the basis for evaluating price for contract award decision purposes. Total evaluated price shall be determined by adding the proposed prices on all CLINs/items stated in the solicitation. In the event the unit price (s) and extended price(s) are ambiguous, the Government shall use the indicated unit price(s) for evaluation and award purposes. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item of a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit cost or prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the proposal.

DBA insurance will not be included in evaluating price.

4. Factor IV-Site Visit

(a) Only those vendors who attended the site visit in May 2016 or to the site visit scheduled for September 15th 2016 can participate on this RFP.// AFTER SOME INCONVENIENCES WE HAVE TO CANCELL

SITE VISIT PROGRAMMED. SITE VISIT IS NOT MANDATORY ANYMORE.

C. EVALUATION APPROACH. The evaluation processes consists of two parts: (1)Technical evaluation and

(2) Past Performance evaluation. Price will be evaluated separately from Technical and Past Performance evaluations.

1. All factors will be evaluated to determine whether the proposal addresses the minimum solicitation requirements. Based on an offeror’s proposal the Government will assign a Technical Criteria Rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable Rating and a Past Performance Risk Rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable (defined under Proposal Rating Scheme in Para D and E below) to each Factor and criteria element. The Technical Evaluation focuses on how the proposed approach meets the minimum solicitation requirements.

2. All proposals shall be subject to evaluation by a team or member of technical evaluators. Each evaluator will independently evaluate each proposal. Thereafter, the results of the independent evaluations are merged into a final evaluation report. The evaluation report must represent a consensus of opinion of the members and be signed by each member.

D. TECHNICAL MERIT RATING SCHEME. The following is the Technical Merit Rating Scheme for evaluation of Technical Proposal.

ACCEPTABLE – Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the specifications outlined in the solicitation.

UNACCEPTABLE – Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the specifications outlined in the solicitation.

E. PAST PERFORMANCE RATING SCHEME: In the evaluation of Past Performance, the evaluators will use the following adjectives and related definitions to define the past performance risk the Offeror poses.

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 has no 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 past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”
