PHASE TWO PROPOSALS
10-1 LEGAL AND CONTRACTING REVIEW.
10-1.1 General Conformity. Phase 2 proposals shall be opened by the Contracting Division. They must
not be opened publicly. The Contracting Division will also review proposals to ensure that the required
cost, technical, and capability data for each proposal are provided in accordance with Section 00110,
PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS and Section 00010 PRICE
PROPOSAL SCHEDULE.
10-1.2 Technical Review. Technical proposals can be forwarded to the Engineering for a minimum
technical review.
This review is provided to screen proposals for overall technical compliance and to
provide comments for the Technical Quality Evaluation Team with respect to the technical aspects of the
proposals.
10-1.3 Non-Disclosure. All reviewers are required to sign a certificate which includes procurement
integrity, nondisclosure, standards of conduct, and conflict of interest provisions before they receive
proposals for review. In addition to reviewers, any and all personnel who see the proposals must sign
the required certificates.
10-2 ENGINEERING TECHNICAL REVIEW.
10-2.1 Upon receipt of proposals, from the Contract Specialist, the PA/PE is responsible for ensuring
that a complete proposal package is available for each technical reviewer. The technical review team of
the USACE activity will consist of personnel with appropriate experience and an understanding of the
constraints of the TEMF program. Technical reviewers will develop comments indicating how each offer
meets, exceeds, or falls short of the requirements for each requirement of the STATEMENT OF WORK.
The PA/PE will assemble written comments generated by the technical reviewers and make copies
available to the evaluation team members.
10-3 TECHNICAL EVALUATION STANDARDS
10-3.1 General. The proposals from the Offerors who reach Phase 2 will be evaluated by a
Government team to determine compliance with this solicitation (as a minimum), and to evaluate the
quality of the proposed materials, methods, and procedures. The proposal information which addresses
each of the evaluation Factors for Phase 2 will be analyzed by the Government and a final overall
"Adjective" for the proposal shall be determined by consensus of the Government evaluation team. The
adjectival scheme for Phase 2 of the process is as shown below:
EXCELLENT: The offeror greatly exceeds the scope of the solicitation requirements in all aspects of the
particular factor or sub-factor.
The offeror also provides significant advantage(s) and exceeds the
solicitation requirements in performance or capability in an advantageous way and has no apparent or
significant weaknesses or omissions.
ABOVE AVERAGE: The offeror exceeds the scope of the solicitation in most aspects of the particular
factor or sub-factor.
The offeror provides an advantage in key areas or exceeds performance or
capability requirements, but has some areas of improvement remaining.
AVERAGE: The offeror matches the scope of the solicitation in most aspects of the particular factor or
sub-factor. The offeror meets the performance or capability requirements of the element but not in a way
advantageous to the Government. There is room for improvement in this element.
