Z -- REPLACE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM, BUILDINGS 1 THROUGH 10, NATIONAL NAVAL MEDICAL CENTER, MARYLAND SOL N68925-93-R-A335 DUE 101596 POC Rhonda Chaney, Contract Specialist, FAX (202)685-8221. Correction: The action originally publicized in the CBD on or about 17 APR 96 is hereby modified as follows: The detailed discussion that begins with the sentence, ''...Demonstrate your understanding of the FLSS configuration required to replace the current FLSS.'', and ends with the sentence, ''...Provide a synopsis of your company's past technical experience on similar sized projects, which would especially qualify your company for meeting all of the requirements of this proposal.'' is deleted. This information is not typically provided in the synopsis and was erroneously included. Detailed information with respect to the preparation of proposals and areas to be addressed by the offerors will be identified in the solicitation and may be different than those previously published. The objective of this solicitation is to select a contractor whose proposal best demonstrates the understanding and capabilities required to successfully provide, in terms of quantity, quality and delivery, the construction services described in the soliciation, while offering the contract most advantageous proposal to the Government, price and other factors being considered. Evaluation factors for award are as follows: (1) Price; (2) Technical; (2)(a) Technical Approach; (2)(a)(i) Proposed System; (2)(a)(i)(1) Function; (2)(a)(i)(2) User Friendliness; (2)(a)(i)(3) Maintainability; (2)(a)(ii) Installation Scheduling; (2)(b) Experience; (2)(c) Staffing; (2)(c)(i) Key Personnel; (2)(c)(ii) Subcontractors; (3) Past Performance; and (4) Small Business/Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) Subcontracting Plan. Price and technical factors are considered of equal importance, but of more importance than Past Performance, which is considered of more importance than the Small Business/SDB Plan. Technical factors are broken down into three categories with some factors further broken down into subfactors. The factors are listed in descending order of relative importance. Where there are subfactors, they also are listed in descending order of relative importance with the factor. There will be one Site Visit, followed by a Pre-Proposal Conference approximately fifteen days after issuance of the solicitation. Soliciations will be availble on or about 13 SEP 96. All other information published in the original synopsis remains unchanged. (0248)
