Hope Federal Building in Mt. Hope, WV. Award will be a firm fixed price contract and the procurement method will be a competitive negotiated Request for Proposal (RFP). Source Selection Procedures as identified in FAR PART 15.3 will be utilized in the selection of a firm offering the best value to the Government in terms of price and technical merit and whose performance is expected to best meet stated Government requirements. Accordingly, offerors will be evaluated based on technical merit with respect to demonstrated successful past performance, management and key personnel qualifications, technical and organizational approach, and on their price proposals. The acquisition shall consist of four phases: Phase 1 - Receipt and evaluation of technical offers and of initial price proposals. Phase 2 - Develop an advisory short list based on technical qualifications/proposals of the most technically qualified firms. In this stage, GSA will advise each respondent that participates in Phase 1, in writing, as to whether or not it will be invited to participate in Phase 3, or that it is unlikely to be a viable competitor. GSA will advise the responding firms considered not to be viable competitors and the basis of GSA's opinion. GSA will inform all respondents that not withstanding the advice provided by GSA in response to their submission in Phase 1, they may participate in Phase 3. Phase 3 - A determination of the competitive range shall be developed by the Contracting Officer. Phase 4 - Completion of negotiations, if necessary. Receipt and evaluation of final proposal revisions. Upon receipt and evaluation of all technical and price proposals, a formal selection of a firm will be made that offers the greatest value to the Government based on a combination of technical evaluation and price factors. Failure of offerors to submit a technical offer during Phase 1 will preclude further participation on this acquisition. For this procurement, technical evaluation factors are more important than cost or price. The Government has reserved the right to make an award at completion of Phase 3, without negotiations. The technical evaluation factors for the evaluation process are, in descending order of importance: 1. Past Performance, 2. Management and Key Personnel Qualifications, and 3.
