The evaluation process will not take price into consideration until the most technically qualified and competent firm is selected. A description of the technical submittal and subsequent evaluation can be found in Sections L and M of the Screening Information Request/Request for Offer (SIR/RFO). The A&E firm ™s submission of Standard Form (SF) 330 must demonstrate its qualifications with respect to the published evaluation factors. The evaluation factors are listed in descending order of importance. Specific evaluation factors include: 1. Specialized Experience and Technical Competence- The offeror must provide a specific narrative and supporting documentation that describes the offeror's technical and managerial capabilities in the specialized area of environmental A/E services. Emphasis will be placed on the Contractor ™s experience, especially on contracts for similar services and magnitude, and the depth and breadth of understanding of the solicited requirement as reflected in the proposal. It includes an evaluation of example projects (detailed reviews) illustrating technical and managerial capabilities in each of the following areas: Environmental assessment (NEPA) or environmental due diligence audit Pollution prevention project implementation (can include permit compliance projects) Environmental Compliance Air emissions reporting and evaluation projects Asbestos Surveys Engineering design and specifications Environmental remedial investigation, design, and implementation (CERCLA) performed within the last 10 years. Offerors are restricted to no more than 6 example projects completed within 5 years to the proposed effort. These reviews must illustrate the scope of each effort; their complexity, how schedules were implemented and how objectives were met (include timetables). Projects completed for the Federal Government in particular should be included, if any. The offeror ™s submission will be considered satisfactory upon demonstrating successful completion of at least one project in each of the above areas. Performance will be evaluated as successful when information submitted by the offeror or from client contact confirms that the projects were effective in meeting the intended primary outcome of the project. For example, a project intended to achieve permit compliance must demonstrate that compliance was achieved. 2. Past Performance on Similar Contracts- Past performance shall demonstrate how well the offeror delivers quality services; demonstrates ability to achieve program objectives; meet customer expectations; demonstrates ability to manage and meet priority timelines; demonstrates ability to manage expenses; and demonstrate overall performance on work similar in operational and technical complexity to services described in the SOW. Offerors are cautioned that the Government will use data provided by each offeror in this volume and data obtained from other available sources in the evaluation of past performance. Offeror ™s shall provide a narrative for each of the example projects (detailed reviews) provided in Factor 1. Narratives shall include information on past performance in terms of cost control, quality of work, accuracy of construction cost estimates, and the number, dollar amounts, and reasons for construction change orders. Offeror ™s shall provide at least two points of contacts for each project who can account for the conditions, effort, and complexity comparable to this requirement. Aspects of the projects submitted for past performance should be relevant to the requirement for this contract and recent (within five years) to the proposed effort. The offeror shall clearly demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming problems and the effects of those actions, in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified. The offeror ™s submission will be considered satisfactory upon demonstrating that each project met the budget, quality and schedule objectives for the project. Offeror ™s are restricted to no more than 3 pages per narrative for each example project. Offerors shall complete Section 1 of the attached Past Performance Questionnaire (SIR Attachment 5) and send it along with the Client Authorization Letter (see sample at SIR Attachment 6) to all points of contact (POCs) for the contracts the Offeror identified in its proposal for this factor (a minimum of three, but no more than five for the prime, and maximum of three for each teaming partner/significant subcontractor for contracts completed or underway within the last five years). The POCs shall be familiar with the work ethic, standards, performance, and deliverables demonstrated through previous or ongoing contracts of a similar nature. The POCs will complete the questionnaires and forward them by email to the Contracting Officer, Kathleen Islas, (Kathleen.d.islas@faa.gov) no later than the SIR closing date. RESPONDENTS TO THE QUESTIONNAIRES SHALL NOT SEND THE COMPLETED INFORMATION SHEETS BACK TO THE OFFEROR. The Source Evaluation Team (SET) will conduct follow-up with any POC as necessary. Organizational Structure Change History “ Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant past efforts or between the conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, offeror ™s shall include a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of the offeror ™s company. A pamphlet or other commercial document describing such reorganizations may suffice. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation. Since the Government intends to consider past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the offeror(s), the "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts identified, yet general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources. 3. Professional Qualifications “ Offeror shall submit a complete resume of the experience of each line and staff executive, supervisor and technical staff member who will be assigned to work the requirements of this contract. Resumes should include: name, educational background, present position or title, types of experience by years, and any other information in sufficient detail to facilitate evaluation of qualifications and administrative or technical competence.
