This will be a firm fixed price contract and the procurement method will be a competitive negotiated Request for Proposal (RFP). Source selection procedures are identified in FAR Part 15.3, and will incorporate the tradeoff process identified in FAR 15.101-1. This method will be utilized in the selection of a firm offering the best value to the Government in terms of price and technical merit and whose performance is expected to best meet stated Government requirements. Accordingly, offerors will be evaluated based on technical merit with respect to demonstrated successful past performance, including the past performance of their subcontractors, qualified/experienced personnel and on their price proposals. All proposals are required to address each of the qualifications. Omission of any of the criteria may render the proposal nonresponsive, preventing the opportunity to submit a price proposal and gain further consideration for award. Upon receipt and evaluation of all technical and price proposals, a formal selection of a firm will be made that offers the greatest value to the Government based on a combination of technical evaluation and price factors. For this procurement, technical evaluation factors will be considered equal to cost. The technical evaluation factors for the evaluation process are as follows: 1) Past Performance and Experience on Similar Projects. Identification of projects, size, location, references, previous client assessment of offeror's performance, address project completion time and budget history. Offerors should provide information on problems encountered on the identified contracts and the offeror's corrective actions. Regarding past performance, offerors with no relevant performance history shall provide information, which helps to identify past or current contracts (including Federal, State, and local government and private) for efforts similar to the requirement. The Government shall consider this information, as well as information obtained from any other sources, when evaluating the offeror's past performance. 2) Proposed Project Team, Key Subcontractors, and Key Personnel.
