The acquisition will be conducted under a competitively negotiated source selection process. Both a technical proposal and a price proposal will be required. The acquisition strategy is Best Value "Tradeoff." This process allows for a trade-off between non-cost factors and cost/price and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal or other than the highest technically rated proposal to achieve a best-value contract award. In making the tradeoff determination all evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are approximately equal to cost or price. It is the Government's intent to award based on initial offers without discussions. Offerors are therefore cautioned to provide their best terms for both price and non-priced technical submission with their initial offers. Evaluation factors may consist of the following: Construction Experience; Past Performance on projects similar in nature; Key Personnel; Project Management Plan. The aforementioned evaluation factors may not be all inclusive.

All offerors are advised that this project may be delayed, cancelled or revised at any time during the solicitation, selection, evaluation, negotiation and/or final award process.
