The construction contract will be awarded using competitive negotiation procedures for achieving the best value to the Government through the Source Selection Process. Award of the contract will be made to the firm whose technical and price proposal combined, best meets the Government's needs in the most effective, economical and timely manner. The criteria used to determine best value to the Government in the form of a Technical Proposal, will be outlined in the Solicitation in decending order of importance as follows: FACTOR A TECHNICAL, (Subfactor A1. -- Work Plan; FACTOR B CORPORATE MANAGEMENT, (Subfactor B1. -- Past Performance, Subfactor B2. -- Key Personnel); and FACTOR C SAFETY, (Subfactor C1. -- Experience Modifier and Experience Modifier Worksheets).

Only pricing proposals from those Technical Proposals within the Competitive Range will be opened. The Competitive Range will consist of the most highly rated Technical Proposals, and will be determined by the Contracting Officer. A Government Estimate will be prepared and will be used in the evaluation of the required Pricing Proposals. Price reasonableness that matches the proposed technical approach is considered to be a critical factor in the Government's evaluation. However, award of a contract will not be based solely on the lowest Price Proposal. Significant, unexplained differences where proposed prices do not match the proposed technical approach and risk involved may result in a proposal being removed from the Competitive Range. If required, discussions will be conducted with all of the offerors in the Competitive Range. The Government has reserved the right to award the contract without discussions.
