New SABER (Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering Requirements)

Amendment / Modification

This document is an addendum to FAR 52.212-2, "Evaluation Factors for Award." It clarifies and modifies the evaluation criteria for this solicitation.

• Evaluation Factors: The evaluation factors are explicitly listed as (1) Past Performance, (2) Technical Capability (pass/fail), and (3) Price. Past Performance is stated to be significantly more important than price.
• Options Evaluation: The Government will add the total price of all options, including the six-month Extension of Services (EOS) clause, to the total price for the basic requirement when evaluating offers. Offers with significantly unbalanced option prices may be deemed unacceptable.
• Basis for Contract Award: This is a competitive best value source selection. Offerors agree to all solicitation requirements by submitting an offer and must explicitly identify any exceptions with a rationale.
• Price Evaluation: Offerors will be ranked by price. The evaluation will determine the reasonableness and realism of prices. A formula is provided for calculating the "Total Evaluated Price" using Government Estimated Dollars, Offeror's Proposed Coefficient, and a 5-year base plus options period, as well as a 6-month EOS option.
• Technical Evaluation: Technical proposals from up to seven of the lowest priced offerors will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis, rated as "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable." Proposals rated "Unacceptable" will not be considered for award. "Acceptable" proposals are considered equal technically.
• Sub-Factors for Technical Evaluation: Detailed sub-factors are provided for Program Management (Management Organization, Subcontract Management, Contractor Coefficient Development), Project Planning and Execution (Project Development and Minimal Design, Performance Period Management), and Sample Project (35% level of design, detailed written scope, detailed price proposal).
• Performance Confidence Assessment: The Contracting Officer will assess past performance for up to seven of the lowest priced technically acceptable offerors. This assessment will result in an adjectival rating (Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Neutral Confidence, Limited Confidence, or No Confidence). The Government reserves the right to consider information from various sources and will give greater consideration to offerors with "Substantial Confidence" or "Satisfactory Confidence" ratings.
• Relevancy of Past Performance: A table defines "Very Relevant," "Relevant," "Somewhat Relevant," and "Not Relevant" for past performance.
• Award Decision: If the lowest priced evaluated offer with a "Substantial Confidence" rating is found, award will be made to that offeror. Otherwise, the process continues with the next lowest priced offeror.

This addendum directly modifies the evaluation factors and process as outlined in FAR 52.212-2 and related sections of the solicitation.

Offerors must ensure their proposals clearly address all technical sub-factors and provide comprehensive past performance information to support a "Substantial Confidence" or "Satisfactory Confidence" rating. The pricing structure and evaluation of options are also critical considerations.

This document, "Attachment 10," outlines Schedule B for Contractor General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses. It specifies how unit prices for task orders will be calculated using coefficients provided by the offeror, applied to RS MEANS database costs, adjusted by a City Cost Index, and multiplied by a coefficient from a schedule.

• Coefficient Schedule Numbers: A table lists specific schedule numbers (e.g., 1-AA, 1-AB) corresponding to different working conditions (standard/nonstandard hours) and locations (Joint Base Charleston, Navy Nuclear Power Training Unit, Shaw Air Force Base).
• Coefficient Calculation: The final price for a unit of work is determined by: (RS MEANS base cost) x (City Cost Index Weighted Average Total of 1.0) x (Offeror's coefficient).
• Coefficient Representation: Offerors must submit coefficients as "net," "decrease from," or "increase to" the RS MEANS prices (e.g., 1.0 for net, 0.98 for decrease, 1.10 for increase).
• Inclusions in Coefficients: Coefficients must encompass all allowable costs, including taxes, payroll, insurance, startup, overhead, administrative expenses, and working in occupied spaces. Specialty equipment rental is a direct cost.
• Exclusions from Line Items: Specific RS MEANS subdivisions (e.g., Architectural Fees, Construction Management Fees, Allowances, Project Management, Surveys, Waste Management) are explicitly excluded from being used as separate line items and must be covered within the coefficients.

Offerors must submit a coefficient for each line item in the provided schedule to be considered for award. These coefficients are critical for determining the pricing of individual task orders issued under the contract.
