EVALUATION FACTORS The Government intends to award a FFP contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the terms of the RFP notice, is determined fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government as determined through a BVTO, Source Selection Evaluation Approach. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced or the highest rated non-price offer or to reject all offers. The Government will not award a contract to an Offeror whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001, unless corrected through discussions, should the Government decide to conduct discussions. The Contracting Officer anticipates that the Solicitation will include the following evaluation factors: Non-Price Factors Factor 1 � Past Performance Factor 2 � Project Approach Factor 3 � Small Business Participation Plan Factor 4 � Price It is anticipated that the relative order of importance of evaluation factors is non-price Factors 1 and 2 are of equal importance to each other and each is more important than Factor 3. All non-price factors (1, 2, and 3) when combined will be approximately equal to price. However, the importance of price will increase if the offerors� non-price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non-price proposal's superiority to the Government. There is a potential that the solicitation may be issued via a Bifurcated Approach. This approach is used in cases where waiting for a Ready-to-Advertise (RTA) design will unreasonably delay an award. This solicitation will be issued with a 100% pre-final design and only nonprice proposals in response to Factors 1 and 2, are requested at this time. The remaining evaluation factors (Factors 3 and 4) will be included in the solicitation; however, no proposal will be initially requested for these factors with the initial proposal submission. When RTA design package becomes available(approximately Sep 2022), the solicitation will be amended to include the completed design documents and the remaining factors will be requested of the offerors. The Government will not undertake to compare or conduct a selection decision until after all factors have been evaluated. Offerors are cautioned that the design and construction requirements may continue to evolve, particularly in this case, until all RTA complete construction documents are released by amendment. GOVERNMENT POINT OF ENTRY (GPE) The RFP and accompanying documents will be issued electronically and will be uploaded to the Solicitation Module of the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) website at https://piee.eb.mil/ on or about August 19, 2022.
