NOTICE OF PROPOSED PROCUREMENT

1. The objective of this request for e-Learning design and development is to produce an eLearning program that will allow Aviation Systems Technicians (AVN Tech) and Aircraft Structures Technicians (ACS Tech) to manufacture low and medium pressure hose assemblies.

1.1. The eLearning program would include

1.1.1. a self-paced pre-course package to replace the theory portion of the course, and

1.1.2. an electronic performance system support (EPSS) tool, which would serve as both a training aid (to replicate the practical training on the course) and as a job aid for use by graduate students back at their home units. The EPSS tool would replicate the procedures in the manufacture of low and medium pressure hose assemblies.

2. Success Factors. This project will be determined to be a success if:

2.1. The theory portion of the course is delivered asynchronously;

2.2. Course delivery eliminates the requirement for serial scheduling, by allowing open entry and open exit;

2.3. The product provides an easy to use performance support tool that can be employed at the job site; and

2.4. The pre-study packages enable the students to pass the practical evaluation for the qualification

3. Basis of Selection - Highest Combined Rating of Technical Merit and Price

3.1. To be declared responsive, a bid must

a. comply with all the requirements of the bid solicitation; and b. meet all mandatory criteria; and c. obtain the required minimum of 70 points overall for the technical evaluation criteria which are subject to point rating. The rating is performed on a scale of 2000 points.

3.2. Bids not meeting (a), (b) and (c) will be declared non-responsive.

3.3. The selection will be based on the highest responsive combined rating of technical merit and price. The ratio will be 60 % for the technical merit and 40% for the price.

3.4. To establish the technical merit score, the overall technical score for each responsive bid will be determined as follows: total number of points obtained / maximum number of points available multiplied by the ratio of 60 %.

3.5. To establish the pricing score, each responsive bid will be prorated against the lowest evaluated price and the ratio of 40 %.

3.6. For each responsive bid, the technical merit score and the pricing score will be added to determine its combined rating.

3.7. Neither the responsive bid obtaining the highest technical score nor the one with the lowest evaluated price will necessarily be accepted. The responsive bid with the highest combined rating of technical merit and price will be recommended for award of a contract.
