Evaluation Criteria Technical Acceptability of Management Plans In Accordance with Book 1, Section 1, Article 8.2 of RFP #120518 the technical acceptability of the management plan was evaluated as follows:
Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.
Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.
The Sourcewell Evaluation Committee evaluated the contractor’s technical capability by individually evaluating the required sub-factors with ratings of “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable.” The technical factor (as a whole) was rated “Unacceptable” if any single sub-factor is rated “Unacceptable.” Refer to Book 1, Section 1, Article 8.2 for detailed information regarding all sub-factors. Past Performance In Accordance with Book 1, Section 1, Article 8.3 of RFP #120518 the past performance acceptability of the contractor was evaluated as follows:
Rating Description
Acceptable Based on the Contractor’s performance record, Sourcewell has a reasonable expectation that the Contractor will successfully perform the required effort.

Recent and relevant past performance information submitted by the Contractor was considered to assess how well they performed on past public projects (municipal, county, state, educational institution, or similar). Refer to Book 1, Section 1, Article 8.3 for recency and relevancy’s definitions. Lowest Priced Acceptable Proposal A price analysis was performed for all proposers in accordance with Book 1, Section 1, Article 8.4. The proposers submitted five (5) adjustment factors for each contract opportunity within the area to the fixed prices in the Construction Task Catalog. The submitted adjustment factors were weighted to determine a single combined adjustment factor. This combined adjustment factor was then used in determining the cost ranking of the responses. The weight of the adjustment factors used to determine the combined adjustment factors is as follows:
NORMAL WORKING HOURS- PREVAILING WAGE RATE PROJECTS 60%
OTHER THAN NORMAL WORKING HOURS- PREVAILING WAGE RATE PROJECTS 10%
NORMAL WORKING HOURS- NON-PREVAILING WAGE RATE PROJECTS 10%
OTHER THAN NORMAL WORKING HOURS- NON-PREVAILING WAGE RATE PROJECTS 10%
NON PRE-PRICED 10% The findings of the Sourcewell Evaluation Committee are summarized as follows: The Sourcewell Evaluation Committee independently evaluated all proposals received in accordance with the established Sourcewell evaluation criteria and determined the responses of VSI Construction, Inc and Marcus Construction Company to be non-responsive because the cost proposed for Factor 5, non-pre-priced items, was higher than the allowable range. The allowable range for this factor is between 1.0500 and 1.2000 which is identified in Book 5, Form 1 Adjustment Factors. All other proposal responses met and passed Factor 1 Responsiveness and were all evaluated as acceptable in Factor 2 Technical Acceptability and Factor 3 Past Performance, in accordance with Book 1, Section 1, Article 8.1 of RFP #120518. Price Results A price analysis was conducted for all awarded contracts in accordance with Book 1, Section 1, Article 8.4 of RFP #120518. Tecta America Corp. was the only eligible respondent for the MN-SEA-R02-120518 contract area but were found to have a price outside the competitive range and what is deemed to bring value to Sourcewell members. For this reason, no contract has been awarded in the MN-SEA-R02-120518. The contractor offering the Lowest Priced Acceptable Proposal, represented as the Combined Adjustment Factor, have been determined to be as follows:
