TECHNICAL PROPOSAL (NON-PRICE FACTORS) A. Technical Ability and Management ApproachSubmit a narrative describing how your company will approach, perform, and complete the project. Approach should include details on the actual design, assembly, and delivery processes referencing Quality Control/Quality Assurance, safety, and accident prevention, meeting delivery schedules, and the management and coordination of subcontractors.

Include a list of proposed key subcontractors and their qualifications, rationale for subcontractor selection, preliminary project schedule, plus any other additional information deemed appropriate by the offeror. Offerors should address any foreseen safety concerns and proposed methods to alleviate them. B. Prior Experience"Prior Experience" is differentiated from "Past Performance" in that this is factual, documented information about specific work the contractor has performed, which indicates their technical ability to accomplish the work. Provide descriptions of up to five projects your company has completed within the last five years that are similar to this project in size, scope and dollar value and which demonstrate the technical, management and financial capability and responsibility to complete this project in a timely and effective manner. Projects considered similar include dock and floating restroom building system design, assembly, and delivery including but not limited to the dock, restroom structure, waste vaults, structural components, and appurtenances required for a fully functional floating restroom. C. Past Performance Past Performance is a measure of the degree to which a contractor has satisfied its customers in the past. Provide references for the projects submitted above including name, phone number and email. Provide any ratings, awards, letters, etc. which support past performance on these projects.

To that end, debriefings requested will be conducted with only one offeror at a time. Offerors requesting a debriefing shall provide their questions in writing in advance of the debriefing. The debriefing shall be confined to a discussion of the offeror's proposal, its strong and weak points in relation to the requirements of the solicitation. 4. DISPOSITION OF UNSUCCESSFUL PROPOSALSIn compliance with FAR Subpart 4.8, the Government will retain one hard copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals will be destroyed by the Government. End of Provision; 52.212-2, EVALUATION OF COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999), The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.The government reserves the right to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Proposals shall be evaluated on the following basis: An evaluation board will evaluate the proposals. Offerors are advised that the technical/quality evaluation will be conducted in strict confidence and that the technical/quality packages will be evaluated without prior knowledge of the price offered. The number and identity of offerors are not revealed to anyone who is not involved in the evaluation and award process or to the other offerors. Proposals will be evaluated based on the factors described and the basis of award is the tradeoff process as described below. The evaluation process consists of four parts: (1) proposal compliance review and responsibility determination, (2) technical/quality evaluation, (3) price evaluation and (4) price/technical tradeoff analysis. Proposal Compliance Review: This is an initial review to ensure that all required forms and certifications are complete and that both technical and price proposals were received. Technical/Quality Evaluation: The Evaluation Board will evaluate and rate the proposals against the RFP requirements. Factors will receive adjectival ratings of Unsatisfactory, Marginal, Satisfactory or Exceptional. A. Technical Ability and Management ApproachThe evaluation board will evaluate the proposed management approach. Approaches that demonstrate a clear understanding of the work, highly qualified on-site team supported by appropriate resources, and an ability to coordinate resources to ensure successful pursuit and completion of the work will be considered to meet the RFP requirements. Narratives that do not demonstrate a clear understanding of the work, that do not demonstrate a capability to coordinate resources, or that do not demonstrate appropriate capacity will be considered to not meet the RFP requirements. The board will also evaluate the clarity, adequacy, capabilities and strengths of the offeror's proposed subcontracting plan, if any. B. Prior ExperienceThe evaluation board will evaluate the extent and quality of recent experience identified in the proposal. Documentation of successful completion of projects considered similar in size, scope and dollar value will be considered to have met the minimum requirements. Proposals that do not include substantial evidence that the offeror has the experience, qualifications and production capabilities to successfully execute this project will be considered to not meet the minimum requirements of the RFP. Experience that demonstrates expertise in the design, assembly, and delivery of fully functional floating restrooms that need to be custom fit to match and connect to existing dock structures may receive additional consideration. C. Past Performance The evaluation board will evaluate the degree of successful completion of the experience identified in the proposal. Documentation of satisfactory past performance of projects considered similar in size, scope and dollar value will be considered to have met the minimum requirements. Proposals that do not demonstrate satisfactory past performance will be considered to not meet the minimum requirements of the RFP. Past performance that demonstrates satisfactory and above performance in the design, assembly, and delivery of fully functional floating restrooms that need to be custom fit to match and connect to existing dock structures and construction quality assurance may receive additional consideration. The government may use other tools such as CPS, CPAR, CCASS, PPIMS & Dun and Bradstreet to evaluate past performance. Price Evaluation: The evaluation board will evaluate price proposals independent of and following completion of the technical quality evaluations. The evaluation board will evaluate the price for both reasonableness and realism. Price/Technical Tradeoff: After all the above evaluations are complete, the evaluation board will compare the relative advantages and disadvantages of the technical proposals and compare prices. The intent is to select the proposal offering the best value to the Government. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror with the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept the offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. End of Provision; 52.212-3, OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS-COMMERCIAL ITEMS, the offeror must include a completed copy of this provision with their quote or state that they are located on website: http://www.bpn.gov/; 52.212-4, CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS-COMMERCIAL ITEMS;The following clauses are added as an addendum to 52.212-4:FAR 52.252-2, CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE;FAR 52.252-6, AUTHORIZED DEVIATIONS IN CLAUSES; 52.212-5, CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT STATUTES OR EXECUTIVE ORDERS-COMMERCIAL ITEMS, applies to this acquisition including 52.222-3, Convict Labor, 52.225-13, Restriction on Certain Foreign Purchases, 52.233-3, Protest After Award, 52.233-4, Applicable Law for Breach of Contract Claim, and incorporating the following Paragraph (b) clauses:52.219.06, Notice of Total Small Business Set-Aside;52.222-19, Child Labor-Cooperation with Authorities and Remedies;52.222-21, Prohibition on Segregated Facilities;52.222-26, Equal Opportunity;52.225-01, Buy American Act (Supplies);52.232-33, Payment by Electronic Funds-Central Contractor Registration.
