This is a best value type RFQ whereas the Government reserves the right to make contract award to other than the lowest priced offeror, and the Government anticipates making award without holding or conducting discussions. As such, it is incumbent on the offeror to provide the best possible pricing with their initial proposal. The RFP will be issued in accordance with FAR Part 15, and technical capabilities and past performance, when combined, are all considered significantly more important than cost or price. The Government will evaluate technical capabilities including 1) key personnel, 2) quality control, 3) scheduling, and 4) past performance. Factor 1): Key personnel - the offeror shall provide as a minimum resumes for its key personnel to include the project manager, on-site project superintendant, and his or her alternate. Factor 2): Quality Control - the offeor shall provide a detailed and comprehensive site specific quality control plan which addresses management of cost overruns, and how unacceptable or marginal performance issues are satisfactorily handled. Factor 3): Scheduling - the offeror shall provide a detailed and comprehensive schedule in a bar format to be submitted on 8 ½ x 11 paper explaining how all major work elements will be managed and completed within the allowable 30 calendar day performance period. The anticipated issuance date of the notice to proceed is on or about September 1, 2014. 4) Past Performance - the Government will consider recent and relevant past performance effort(s) identified by the offeror for at least three projects currently on-going or completed within the last three (3) years similar in size, scope, and complexity as the solicitation effort. In the event an offeror does not have any recent or relevant past performance experience for a project, that project will not be considered or rated by the Government. In accordance with P.L. 109-461, this acquisition is restricted to Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns. NAICS Code 238220 is applicable to this acquisition with a Business Size Standard of $14.0M. Solicitation documents will be available electronically on or about August 14, 2014 at http://www.fedbizopps.gov. NO HARD COPIES OF THE SOLICITATION WILL BE ISSUED.
