Evaluation Criteria

The evaluation criteria include technical approach, management approach, past performance, and price.

Technical Approach:

The technical approach will be evaluated based on the contractor’s understanding of the requirements, the proposed approach to meeting the requirements, and the proposed management structure. The technical approach will be evaluated on the following subfactors:

  • Understanding of the requirements
  • Proposed approach to meeting the requirements
  • Proposed management structure

Management Approach:

The management approach will be evaluated based on the contractor’s proposed management structure, including the proposed organizational structure, staffing plan, and quality control plan. The management approach will be evaluated on the following subfactors:

  • Proposed organizational structure
  • Staffing plan
  • Quality control plan

Past Performance:

Past performance will be evaluated based on the contractor’s performance on similar contracts. The past performance evaluation will consider the relevance, recency, and quality of the contractor’s past performance. The past performance evaluation will be based on the following subfactors:

  • Relevance of past performance
  • Recency of past performance
  • Quality of past performance

Price:

Price will be evaluated based on the proposed labor rates and other direct costs. The price evaluation will consider the reasonableness and completeness of the proposed prices. The price evaluation will be based on the following subfactors:

  • Reasonableness of proposed prices
  • Completeness of proposed prices

The technical approach and management approach will be scored on a 0-100 point scale, with the technical approach being weighted more heavily than the management approach. Past performance will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis, with only contractors who receive a passing score being considered for award. Price will be evaluated based on the proposed prices and will not be scored. The Alliant 3 Unrestricted GWAC draft RFP also provides a detailed scoring table that outlines how the evaluation factors will be scored.
