TEP EVALUATION SUMMARY FOR EACH OFFEROR
HEP Construction (HEP)
HEP provided a technical approach; however, the plan lacked details, and nothing was close
to the DCPL project. They submitted three (3) projects; however, only one involved HVAC
and all the projects were graded as good or not excellent. HEP submitted incomplete resumes
for proposed key personnel. Their management plan did not address any of the requirements
in the solicitation.
JAP Construction (JAP)
JAP technical approach was mainly geared toward their work on green roofs. Nothing was
mentioned about crane operations; the permit process and the plan were not specific to the
DCPL project. JAP also had limited experience in HVAC, and their relevant projects were
not close to the estimated dollar amount for this project. The resumes for key personnel listed
the same projects. However, their work history at JAP did not coordinate with the listed
projects. The management plan mentioned Procore and Matter port software. In the
management plan, JAP did not mention the key personnel, milestone, and critical challenges.
Range Construction, LLC (Range)
Range did not provide details on the technical approach and appears to not have a complete
understanding of the scope of the project. All relevant past performances were for Southland
Industries; however, Southland was not mentioned as a partner elsewhere in the proposal.
Range appears to have been a subcontractor of Southland and has not acted as Prime
Contractor. Resumes were confusing; some were from Southland as project managers, and
some were superintended from Range. Range appeared to lack experience managing this size
construction project. The management plan did not address any aspects of the requirements
outlined in the RFP.
4
RSC Electrical and Mechanical Contractors, Inc. (RSC)
RSC has a clear understanding of the project’s technical approach and has a very detailed plan
that covers the project in detail. The listed three (3) relevant projects are all close to the dollar
value and complexity of the DCPL project. RSC provided very well-experienced personnel,
all with backgrounds in this project's complexity. RSC identified key personnel and their
roles in the management plan. The cost control was discussed by the use of Procore.
Winmar Construction (Winmar)
Winmar provided a well-presented technical approach. The plan addressed most areas but
did not provide enough details to determine the various phases of the project. Also, Winmar
did not note the specific actions for the tasks of the technical plan. There were no comments
to justify the excellent performance ratings in the past. Winmar provided experience and past
performance with projects similar to and larger than this DCPL project. The resumes of the
key personnel exceed the RFP requirements. There’s no notation if key personnel are full-
time or part-time employees. Winmar has a very well-detailed management plan. However,
no key challenges, daily inspections, and project schedules were provided.
Based on the TEP evaluation and assessment, RSC Electrical and Mechanical Contractors,
Inc. is the top-ranked among the five (5) offerors.
The Procurement Office tabulated the price proposals as shown below:
Table 2 – Price Proposal and Scores
Offeror Total Price Proposal Price Score (Max: 5 pts.)
Range Construction, LLC $1,350,000.00 5.00
Winmar Construction $1,364,200.00 4.95
HEP Construction $1,488,193.75 4.54
RSC Electrical & Mechanical $1,728,200.00 3.91
JAP Construction, LLC $2,038,230.00 3.31
With the addition of Price Score (Table 2) and Preference Points, RSC received a high score of 103
(see Table 3).

With RSC ranked as the highest score, the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) negotiated the price
with RSC. On June 24, 2024, RSC submitted its Best and Final Offer, lowering its price proposal
from $1,728,200.00 to $1,593,200.00.
After reviewing all the TEP evaluations, offerors’ strengths and weaknesses, price, CPO’s

to RSC Electrical and Mechanical Contractors, Inc., whose offer is most advantageous to the District,
based upon the evaluation criteria specified in the solicitation.
