must be clear, coherent, and prepared in sufficient detail for effective evaluation of the Offerors proposal against
the evaluation criteria. Also, this documentation shall cover all aspects of this solicitation. Proposals must clearly
demonstrate how the Offerors intend to accomplish the project.

The following instructions are for the preparation and submission of proposals. The purpose of this section is to
establish requirements for the format and content of proposals so that proposals contain all essential information
and can be evaluated equitably. Offerors are instructed to read the entire solicitation document, including all
attachments, prior to submitting questions and/or preparing your offer. Omission of any information from the
proposal submission requirements may result in rejection of the offer.

- Offerors are expected to follow the detailed proposal preparation instructions fully and carefully. The
Government will rely on the information provided by the Offerors to evaluate the proposals. It is therefore,
imperative that Offerors carefully follow the instructions set forth below and submit their proposals in the format
and with the content specified below, providing all requested information.

- Proposals that fail to provide information in the format requested may be found unacceptable and may be
rejected without further consideration if the Contracting Officer determines that a significant revision or
addendum to the Offerors proposal would be required to permit further evaluation, and especially if the
incompleteness of the proposal or errant formatting of the proposal appears to be due to a lack of diligence or
competence of the Offerors.

- The instructions provided have been specifically tailored to the evaluation factors to be applied during
proposal evaluation. They are designed to ensure the submission of information essential to the understanding and
comprehensive validation and evaluation of proposals. Clarity and completeness are of utmost importance to the
proposal. The relevance and conciseness of the proposal is important.

competitors and still choose to proceed to Phase II, shall send an email within 2 business days after the receipt of the
advisory notification indicating intent to participate in Phase II.

Offeror with a set of questions at the beginning of the virtual oral presentation and allow the Offeror to caucus for
60 minutes prior to delivering the response.

52.212-2 Addendum

Evaluation of Offers: The Government intends to award a contract to responsible Offerors whose proposals
represent the best value to the Government. The basis for award will be made to the most highly rated technical
proposals with Fair and Reasonable Price and Realistic Cost that present the best value to the Government. This
acquisition uses the policies of FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, in conjunction with the portions of
the policies and procedures of FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation. The Government intends to evaluate
proposals and make award without discussions; therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s
best terms. After receipt of Phase I and Phase II proposals, the Government will conduct an evaluation. However,
during the evaluation process, the Government may, solely at its discretion, communicate with an Offeror for
clarification purposes. At any time prior to selection, including upon receipt of proposals, the Government may
exclude a proposal from further consideration for any material failure to follow instructions, including the omission
of required information.

Although the Government intends to evaluate proposals and make award without discussions, the Government
reserves the right to hold discussions. The Government considers Phase I and Phase II to be separate and distinct for
the purpose of conducting discussions. If the Government determines that discussions are necessary under Phase II,
the Government will establish a competitive range consisting of the most highly rated proposals and will conduct
discussions with only those Phase II offerors. After the close of discussions, the Government will establish a
common cut-off date for submission of proposal revisions.

The Government will evaluate Offeror’s proposal submissions based on the following evaluation factors:

Phase I:

Factor 1 – Plant Production Checklist

Factor 2 – Plant Production Checklist – Supplemental Information
Factor 3 – ATTHU Delivery and Installation Approach

Phase II:

Factor 4 – Virtual Oral Presentation

Factor 5 – Past Performance
Factor 6 – Price. There will be no tradeoff between any of the Technical Factors and Price, and no relative
weighting between the non-Price Factors and the Price Factor.

Phase I – Factor 1: Plant Production Information: The evaluation is based on the Offeror’s submission compliance
of all required documents and the Government’s confidence based on the Offeror’s submission that the Offeror can
successfully provide Modular Homes that are compliant with International Code Council/Modular Building Institute
(ICC/MBI) 1200-2021 addresses the facets of the off-site construction process including: planning; designing;
fabricating; transporting; and assembling commercial and residential building elements. The Government will use
the below checklist to assist in evaluating Factor 1 – Plant Production Information as well as the information
contained in the documentation to determine the Offeror’s Confidence rating for this factor.

Number Question Yes No

inspection agency with a signed document that allows the state or third-
party inspection agency to inspect the manufacturing plants, products and
building sites at a reasonable time without prior announcement.

Phase I – Factor 2: Plant Production Information – Supplemental Information: The evaluation is based on the
Offeror’s submission compliance of all required documents and the Government’s confidence based on the
Offeror’s submission that the Offeror can successfully provide Modular Homes that are compliant with
International Code Council/Modular Building Institute (ICC/MBI) 1200-and Regulations as well as FEMA’s
requirements. The Government will use the below checklist to assist in evaluating Factor 2 – Plant Production

Offeror’s Confidence rating for this factor.

1a Did the Offeror provide the names and contact information (phone
number and email address) of the General Manager for each proposed
plant?

 FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (FEMA)

(ATTHU)
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) 70FBR924R00000005
questions provided during the virtual oral presentation. Team dynamics of the required personnel and the up to two
(2) additional participants may also be evaluated during the virtual oral presentation.

Phase II – Factor 5: Past Performance: The Government will assess its confidence that the offeror can
successfully perform the requirements of the solicitation based on the projects submitted in response to this factor,
project POC reference input, and other past performance information available to the Government. The Government
will not restrict its consideration to the information provided in the proposal and may consider any other available
information available in the federal government’s Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS)
and/or first-hand knowledge. Consideration may be given to: (1) Quality of services provided, (2) Cost control, (3)
Schedule/timeliness, (4) Management, and (5) Business relations/Customer Service of the offeror’s past
performance. The Offeror will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably if it lacks relevant past performance.

Phase II – Factor 6: Price: The Government will establish a “total evaluated price” based on a completed
Attachment 1 – ATTHU Pricing Spreadsheet. It is anticipated that pricing and award of this acquisition will be
based on adequate price competition. Completion of the price templates is necessary for a full evaluation of an
Offeror’s proposal. The “total evaluated price” will be evaluated for price reasonableness through comparison with
other proposed prices and may include other price analysis techniques. The price proposal will not be given a rating.
