The award of a firm-fixed price task order will result from Phase II of this solicitation. It is anticipated that future projects will be awarded on a task order basis to the one contractor (of the five awardees) who o ffer the lowest lump sum price. This is a competitive negotiated acquisition. Proposals will be evaluated using a Two-Phase process. Phase I will be technica l evaluations; Phase II will be for pricing. The Government intends to use the "greatest value concept" in making the selections. The "greatest value concept" is a method of evaluating price and other related factors specified in the soli citation; with the goal being to select the proposal that offers the greatest va lue to the Government in terms of performance and other factors. Phase I, the R equest for Technical Proposals (RFTP), contains Construction Contract Clauses, L abor Standards, Solicitation Provisions, Proposal Submittal Requirements and Eva luation Factors. This RFTP will be issued on or about 04/04/97. All requests f or the RFTP must be in writing. There will be a Pre-Proposal Conference on or ab out 04/21/97. Proposals shall be received in this office on or about 05/06/97. S pecific date and time shall be specified in the RFTP. Only one proposal may be submitted by each offeror. Offerors should submit proposals that are acceptable without additional explanation orinformation, as the Government may make a fin al determination regarding a proposal's acceptability solely on the basis of the initial proposal submitted. The Government may proceed to Phase II without dis cussion. However, the Government may request additional information from offero rs that it considers having a reasonable chance of being selected to participate in Phase II and may discuss proposals with the offerors. The Government will e valuate Phase I submission to establish those within a "competitive range." Onl y those firms within the competitive range will be invited by the Government to provide Phase II submissions, consisting of pricing (a lump sum price) and any s pecial requirements defined in the specifications. Two factors will be consider ed: a technical evaluation factor and price. The elements that make up the tec hnical evaluation factor, in order of importance, are: (1) Experience and Past Performance of the Firm, (2) Qualification of Key Personnel, and (3) Management and Technical Approach. The price factor is not as important as the technical e valuation factor. As proposals become more equal in technical merits, price bec omes more important. Phase II, Specifications (Bidding Documents) will be availa ble from the General Services Administration at no cost. Technical questions sh ould be directed to the Project Manager, George Gourse, at 816-926-5317, extensi on 279. See Note 1. (0076)
