5. Submission Instructions and Evaluation Procedures


5.a. Submission and Evaluation Overview


In accordance with FAR 36.6, the submission and evaluation procedures will be split into two phases: (1) the submission and evaluation of the bidders' qualifications and (2) the submission, evaluation, and negotiation of the highest qualified bidder's price proposal.


Phase 1: Synopsis: The submission and evaluation of the bidders' qualifications
Step 1: The bidders must submit completed SF-330 Part I and Part II to verify its qualifications.
Step 2: The MCC Evaluation Board will evaluate all responsive SF-330s and select, at a minimum, three most highly qualified A-E firms.
Step 3: MCC will invite those selected firms for an oral presentation / interview.
Step 4: The MCC Evaluation Board will rank the top three most qualified firms and make a recommendation to the designated selection authority.
Step 5: The selection authority will make the final determination on the ranking of the top three most qualified firms.


Phase 2: Solicitation: The submission, evaluation, and negotiation of cost/price proposal
Step 1: MCC will issue a solicitation in the form of Request for Proposal (RFP) to the top highest qualified A-E firm.
Step 2: The A-E firm will submit a complete cost/price proposal to MCC.
Step 3: MCC will evaluate the cost/price proposal and determine whether or not it is fair and reasonable.
Step 4: MCC may enter into a technical and/or cost/price negotiation with the firm.
Step 5: Once agreeable terms are reached, MCC will move forward with the award. If MCC and the firm cannot reach an agreement within a time specified by the contracting officer, MCC will terminate the negotiation and invite the second most qualified firm to submit a proposal. If MCC and the second qualified firm cannot reach an agreement, MCC will invite the third most qualified firm to submit a proposal. If an agreement is not reached with the third most qualified firm, the synopsis and solicitation will be cancelled and may be re-competed.


5.b. Submission Requirements and Instructions


The bidders must submit the following:
1. Cover Page, at a minimum including:
a. The solicitation number and title;
b. The bidding firm's official name;
c. The bidding firm's DUNS number;
d. Main point-of-contact who has signatory and negotiation authority with name, phone number, and email; and
e. Statement that the bid submission is valid for 1 year.
2. Completed SF-330 Part I Contract-Specific Qualifications (Section A through H); and
3. Completed SF-330 Part II General Qualifications.


The Cover Page is limited to 2 pages; the SF-330 Part I has no page limit, however the Section H Additional Information is limited to 30 pages; and the SF-330 Part II has no page limit. (SF-330 Part I Section E Resumes of Key Personnel Proposed for This Contract is not considered in the page limits provided.)


The Phase I Qualifications submission must not include any price/cost information as it will not be reviewed during our Phase I Qualifications evaluation.


The firms must provide all the necessary materials, equipment, personnel, etc. to satisfy the requirement. There is a possibility, however, that the MCA may offer an office space for limited number of contractor personnel. This will be separately negotiated before or after the award.


The submissions must clearly demonstrate in English the firm's qualifications and the understanding of the technical requirements for further consideration. Clarity and completeness are of the utmost importance. Therefore, the submissions, including all illustrative and graphical representations, must be presented in a practical, clear, and concise manner.


The narrative must provide the Government with a reasonable assurance that the firm has the necessary qualifications to fully satisfy the Government's requirements. A restatement of the ToR will be deemed unacceptable and may result in a low evaluation rating.


The Government recommends completing and signing the SF-330s electronically, rather than handwriting then scanning. If any part of the submission is not clearly readable, i.e. a document is not legible or comprehensible, the Government may either disregard the information in our evaluation or deem the submission unresponsive without an opportunity for re-submission.


The submissions must clearly demonstrate a thorough understanding of the Government's requirement, as well as convey the A-E firm's capability for transforming its understanding into successful performance.

Both parts and all its sections must be submitted electronically for award consideration. Only the SF-330 Part I Section D Organizational Chart of Proposed Team and Section H Additional Information may be submitted as Microsoft Word (.docx) and Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) documents (to allow graphical representations and to conveniently present additional information) as long as it does not exceed the page limits noted in 5.b. Submission Requirements and Instructions.
