Description

1) Site Visit Change: Pre-Bid Site Visit rescheduled for 04-27-2011 at 1300 hrs, (1:00 p.m. EDT) in the A&MMN Conference Room. 2)Evaluation Factors: This procurement is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside. This procurement is being conducted as a competitive, negotiated request for proposals (RFP) that is to be awarded after a "Lowest Price Technically Acceptable" evaluation. This means that only submissions from SDVOSB entities will be considered for award. In order to qualify as a valid SDVOSB, an offeror must be registered with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database (www.ccr.gov) as a SDVOSB under the applicable NAICS code for this project (please see SF 1442, block 10 for NAICS code and small business cutoff). Additionally, offerors must be registered with the VetBiz database at www.vetbiz.gov. Enrollment in the CCR database will require the offeror to have applied for and been assigned a Duns and Bradstreet (DUNS) number. Enrollment in these databases MUST be COMPLETE by the time of representation (offer submission) or they will be considered nonresponsive and rejected without additional consideration. Once proposals are received, they will be evaluated for technical acceptance based on a series of "Go/No-Go" factors that will be given a pass/fail rating based on submitted deliverables. The various deliverables and pass/fail criteria are as follows: 1.Past Performance/Technical capability - Offer must show that he has the capability, personnel, and financial resources to complete the project. Offeror need not have performed the exact type of project for the VA before, but he should provide evidence of technical competency based on similar work or the training and certifications necessary to perform the work. a.Deliverables: i.Resume/CV of any and all key personnel who would be involved with the project in the event of contract award. Resume MUST show prior experience of a similar type of work to that described in the RFP or clearly display that the employee has the technical certifications/capacity/abilities to complete his share of project tasks. RESUME MUST INCLUDE NAMES AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS OF REFERENCES (AT LEAST THREE) WHO CAN VALIDATE THE DETAILS OF THE RESUME. Lack of references or references who cannot be contacted after a reasonable effort by the Contracting Officer will result in a failure of this item. References who refuse to acknowledge/validate information on the resume will likewise result in a fail. ii.Description(s) of prior projects performed similar to the work described in the RFP, or projects/items that show evidence of technical competency in the critical elements of the project as described in the RFP. Descriptions must include dollar value, key personnel/subcontractors involved, and a reference who may be contacted to verify that the project was successfully completed by the offeror. The same rules about references as those explained in item (i) apply. At least three examples are required. These examples MUST clearly exhibit proficiency in all necessary skills/trades/elements of performance or this item will be graded as a 'fail.' CONTRACTORS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT WRITTEN PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS FILLED OUT BY PRIOR JOB MANAGERS/COTRS WHICH ARE SIGNED AND DATED TO FULFILL THIS DELIVERABLE REQUIREMENT. If written past performance information is not given, the same standards applied to contacting references listed in (i) above will be used. iii.Any and all permits, certifications, evidence of training, degrees, etc. required to prove that the prime and/or any subconsultant is fully technically/legally qualified to work on a project, system, or geographic area in necessary trades. 1.There are no anticipated certificates required for this specific project. 2.Evidence of adequate bonding a.Deliverables: i.A bid bond, backed by a treasury-listed surety (please see http://www.fms.treas.gov/c570/c570.html) or other acceptable proof of equity to guarantee the proposed offer and the next lowest technically acceptable price in the event that the offeror cannot offer the submitted price. Absence of a bid bond in the submitted offer will result automatically in a 'fail' for this item. b.Additional Notes: i.Performance and payment bonds are also required for this RFP, but not at time of offer submission on a go/no-go basis. If performance and payment bonding is not furnished after successful negotiation and award, the contract will be terminated for default which may result in a financial claim against the offeror and will eliminate the offeror from future work with VISN 2 (see 1(b)). 3.Acceptable price formatting a.Deliverables: i.Offeror's price is presented in an EMIS-style breakout sheet (each individual price category is identified in as much detail as possible, unit prices are multiplied by proposed quantities to reach line item totals, line item totals are added together to reach subtotal, overhead is applied as a clearly indicated percentage to subtotal, profit is applied as a clearly indicated percentage of overhead + subtotal). Lump sum totals will be graded as a 'fail.' Pricing that includes options or other non-definite/non-fixed totals will be graded as a 'fail.' Labor unit prices that are below Davis-Bacon wage rates will be graded as a 'fail.' Subcontractor pricing presented as a lump sum will be graded as a 'fail' unless that pricing is further broken down in the offeror's cost proposal. PLEASE NOTE THAT ANY ONE 'FAIL' OF ANY ONE OF THESE THREE ITEMS WILL RESULT IN REJECTION OF THE OFFER WITHOUT ANY FURTHER CONSIDERATION FOR AWARD, OR ANALYSIS/NEGOTIATION OF THE OFFERED PRICE. Following technical acceptance, the Contracting Officer will determine whether or not to establish a competitive range. If no competitive range is established, the lowest priced technically acceptable offer will receive award without additional discussions or exchanges and notice will be tendered to all offerors. If necessary, a competitive range may be established due to a clear grouping of the most reasonable offers while eliminating outliers at either an extreme high or low price in regard to the established Independent Government Estimate. Competitive range may likewise be established to limit the volume of offers considered for negotiation by selecting a number of the most favorable priced offers. Discussions (negotiations) will only be held if a competitive range is established, and only with the members of the established competitive range. There will be no pre-established number of offers selected for inclusion in the competitive range, THIS WILL BE COMPLETELY AT THE DISCRETION OF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER. Following determination of competitive range, if needed, the Contracting Officer will enter into meaningful discussions (negotiations) with all offerors remaining in consideration. This will usually consist of a written statement of the Government's negotiating position in response to the initial offer. Discussions may take place in written, oral, or electronic format at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Discussions may continue as long as needed to reach a determination of which price is the lowest of those offered. At the discretion of the Contracting Officer, offerors may be furnished a request for Final Proposal Revisions (FPR's) advising them to submit their best and final offer and closing out negotiations for all offerors. The use of FPR's will be at the discretion of the Contracting Officer, and is NOT a mandatory step prior to award. After the above steps have taken place, the lowest negotiated technically acceptable price will be selected for award and notice will be tendered to all members of the competitive range.
