Evaluation Methodology and Basis for Issuance of an Award. 1.1. The Government intends to award a contract to the Offeror whose proposal complies with solicitation requirements and has been determined to be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Quotes will be evaluated based on the criteria in Section 2.0 1.3. Factor Evaluation: Proposals determined to be compliant with the requirements in 52.212-1 will be evaluated under the Technical, Past Performance, and Pricing factors based upon the criteria provided in Section 2.0 below. Only compliant proposals determined Acceptable under both Past Performance and Technical Acceptability factors will be evaluated on Lowest Price. The Government may choose to negotiate with offerors whose initial proposals are unacceptable if it is in the best interest of the Government to do so. If negotiations are determined to be in the Governments best interest, the Government will only negotiate with those offerors whose proposals do not contain significant informational deficiencies. 2.0. Evaluation Factors. 2.1. Technical Capability (Factor 1). The Government will evaluate whether the Vendor has demonstrated an understanding of and the capability to perform this requirement in a manner that conforms to the contract as determined by the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Barge Program Manager. The Technical Capability factor will be rated at the Factor level. The Government’s evaluation of the elements, individually or collectively, will affect whether a quotation is rated Acceptable or Unacceptable. Technical Submission Whether the Vendor has submitted a thoroughly descriptive Work Plan, outlining how they intend to meet the minimum period of performance and satisfy all requirements of this solicitation Whether any exceptions taken to this solicitation would affect the ability to acceptably satisfy overall requirements of this solicitation Technical Evaluation Ratings Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Submission clearly meets all requirements of the solicitation Unacceptable Submission does not clearly meet all requirements of the solicitation 2.2. Past Performance (Factor 2). The Government will evaluate Past Performance information provided on the Past Performance Information Form and the Past Performance Report Form to assess how well the Vendor and any proposed subcontractors, teaming/joint venture partners or affiliates (hereafter, subcontractor) performed on prior contracts / projects and to assess the likelihood of successful performance of this solicitation’s requirements. The Government will only evaluate Past Performance information that is recent and relevant and will focus on how well the contractor performed on the referenced contracts in the following areas: Quality of Product of Service: The degree to which the services provided meet the requirements of the contract and the degree to which they were similar to this solicitation. Delivery/Completion Schedule: The extent to which the Offeror satisfied customer requirements for contract completion in accordance with the agreed upon schedule. The Government will use the following definitions to guide its evaluation: Recent is any contract or project that has been performed within five (5) years, measured from the date this solicitation was issued. Information that fails to meet this condition will not be evaluated. Relevant is defined as any contractor or project that is similar in scope and complexity to this effort. Scope: Measures the similarity between the Past Performance information and requirements or tasks to be performed in the solicited effort. Complexity: Measures the similarity of technical and managerial intricacy and required coordination and disciplines between the Past Performance information and the solicited effort. The Government may consider past performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the offeror, including Federal, State and local Government agencies, better business bureaus, published media and electronic databases including, but not limited to, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), the Product Data Reporting and Evaluation Program (PDREP), and the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). The Government may contact some or all of the references provided, as appropriate, and may collect information through questionnaires, telephone interviews and existing data sources. The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. This information will be used for the evaluation of past performance. The Government will use the following ratings and definitions to evaluate the Past Performance factor. Relevancy Adjectival Rating Description Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires 2. Confidence Assessment Information that is not recent or relevant is not considered in the assessment of Past Performance Confidence. In conducting a performance confidence assessment, each Vendor shall be assigned one of the ratings below Adjectival Rating Description Relevant Based on the Vendor’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Vendor will successfully perform the required effort, OR the Vendor’s performance record is unknown. (See Note Below) Not Relevant Based on the Vendor’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Vendor will be able to successfully perform the required effort. *NOTE: In the case of a Vendor 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 Vendor may not be evaluated favorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). 2.3. Pricing (Factor 3). The Government will evaluate Vendor’s proposed pricing information in comparison to other offeror’s submissions. The government intends to award a contract to the vendor who provides the best pricing terms, after the Past Performance (2.2) and Technical Acceptability (2.1) Factors.
