Selection of the best value to the Government will be achieved tough a process of evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of each quoter's quotation against the below described evaluation criteria. In determining the best value to the Government, the Technical Capability and Past Performance Evaluation Criteria, when combined, are more important than the evaluated price. The Government is more concerned about obtaining a superior Technical Capability quotation than making an award at the lowest evaluated price. However, the Government will not make an award at a price premium it considers disproportionate to the benefits associated with the evaluated superiority of one technical and management quotation over another. Thus, to the extent that quoter's technical and past performance quotations are evaluated as close or similar in merit, the evaluated price is more likely to be a determining factor.EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD: The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations. These factors are listed in their relative order of importance: Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price.Factor I - Technical Capability:Contract Requirements:a.

Additionally, restaurants must be within a short walking distance of (ten (10) minutes or less) of the proposed facility. Quotations must address safety and security issues both within the hotel complex and the surrounding area.c. Availability of Dates: Quotations will be evaluated on the ability of the Quoter to provide the required services on the dates requested. Additional consideration will be given to quotations which demonstrate availability of facilities on the preferred dates in order of preference (i.e., 1st choice date, 2nd choice date, 3rd choice date, etc).Factor II - Past Performance:The quoter must provide references for a minimum of tee (3) government or non-government contracts which provide the same or similar services; contracts must have been awarded within the past (3) years.

Evaluations of quotations will consider the following pricing information: pricing provided for all line items listed in the Schedule of Supplies and Services of this RFQ in the units and format provided.Site Visits: The EEOC will conduct a site visit of all quoters who are rated to be technically acceptable. The site visit will review and evaluate the same technical items identified in the Technical Capabilities Portion of the technical evaluation factors.SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS:If any hotel submitting a quotation has any supplemental agreements, those agreements must be submitted with their quotation. If the hotel requires signature of a supplemental agreement that was not submitted with the quotation, the quotation will be rejected.Notice: The Government intends to evaluate quotations and make award without discussions (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the quoter's initial quote should contain the vendor's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE:The base period will be from the date of award tough one year thereafter with one (1) one year option if exercised.Evaluation of OptionsExcept when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government's best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.
