PAST PERFORMANCE. Past Performance is equal in importance to the Technical/Management Factors. Past Performance information is one indicator of an Offeror?s ability to successfully perform this contract. This evaluation will include the performance history of both the construction entity and the design entity. The assessment of the Offeror?s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capability of the offeror and establish a level of risk (high, moderate, or low) for successful performance under this contract. Past Performance findings will influence the standing of the Offeror. Findings will be used to validate proposals against established criteria. Offerors may be given an opportunity to address unfavorable reports of past performance. Evaluation of Past Performance will be a subjective assessment. The Government is seeking to determine whether the offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to customer satisfaction, timely delivery of services, adherence to contract schedules, subcontractor management, safety management, quality control programs, good workmanship, conformance to specifications, and fair and reasonable prices. The Past Performance Questionnaire included as part of the synopsis/solicitation shall be forwarded, by the offeror, to all Construction Team and Design Team references, under Factor 1 and Factor 2, and filled out accordingly. Offerors are responsible for ensuring the completed questionnaires are submitted, by their references, via electronic submission to Nicole Rounay at Nicole.Rounay@navy.mil. The questionnaires shall be returned at least one (1) week prior to the proposal due date, but absolutely no later than the proposal due date and time. Since the Government may contact the individuals identified in Factor 1 and Factor 2, it is critical that these individuals be familiar with the project to answer specific questions regarding your performance. The Government may choose to contact additional customer(s) not provided by an offeror and may obtain additional information through other sources, such as the Past Performance Retrieval System (PPIRS), and phone interviews. In addition to references provided under Factor 1 and Factor 2, you may include additional references that are knowledgeable of your firm?s performance. In evaluating past performance, the Government will focus on information derived from the projects that are most relevant to this project.
