(End of Addendum to 52.212-1) CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT (ix) 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items FAR 52.212-2 is hereby tailored as follows: (a) Basis for Contract Award. The Government intends to award one Firm Fixed Price contract for this competitive Small Business Set-Aside service acquisition. Award will be to the responsible contractor whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, technical, past performance, and price considered. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this solicitation. Unless specifically identified in your proposal, by submission of its offer, the Offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or sub factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in a proposal being determined ineligible for award. It is the Government's intent to evaluate proposals and award a contract IAW FAR 13.106. FAR Part 15 based evaluations will NOT be used for this acquisition. The initial proposal should contain your best terms; however; the Government reserves the right to conduct exchanges if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer to resolve issues such as technical or price, or deal with contract documentation including any other matter in the evaluation process. The contracting officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity to revise proposals. The following factors, in descending order of importance, shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. Technical 2. Past Performance 3. Price Technical and Past Performance are significantly more important than Price. (1) All technically acceptable offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. An "unacceptable" rating in any technical factor or sub-factor will result in the overall technical proposal being rated "unacceptable" and the proposal will therefore be ineligible for award. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the evaluation process is by its nature subjective. Therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process. (2) The following documents will be evaluated for completeness and compliance with the requirements of the RFP. Please refer to the instructions in 52.212-1 Addendum. Incomplete items may be a basis for rejection. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows: (a) FACTOR 1 - TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY: Initially, the government technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical proposals on an pass/fail basis, assigning ratings of Acceptable, or Unacceptable. The proposals shall be evaluated against the following sub factors: Sub Factor 1: Ability to Perform Sub Factor 2: Qualifications and Experience Sub Factor 3: Management Capability Sub Factor 4: Mission Essential Contractor Services Plan An offer must be rated "acceptable" in all factors and sub-factors in order to be eligible for award. An "unacceptable" rating in any factor or sub-factor will result in the overall technical proposal being rated "unacceptable" and the proposal will therefore be ineligible for award. The Government will utilize the information provided by the offeror, along with information collected from other sources (i.e., other Government offices, commercial sources, etc.), in making a technical acceptability determination. If an offeror's technical proposal is determined to be Technically Unacceptable, no further evaluation will be conducted. Offerors determined to be technically unacceptable shall be eliminated from consideration for contract award. The technical evaluation factors upon which an offeror's technical proposal will be evaluated and the respective Standard of Acceptability for each of the technical evaluation factors are set forth below. The following adjectival ratings and rating definitions will be used to assign a rating for each technical factor and an overall rating to each technical proposal. Technical Criteria Ratings Rating Definition Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate or more than adequate approach and understanding of the requirements; risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate. Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation and contains one or more deficiencies; proposal is unawardable. Overall technical acceptability will be evaluated against the following sub factors: (i) Sub Factor 1: Ability to Perform - Offerors will be evaluated to the extent to which they provide information that demonstrates offeror's ability to successfully meet the twelve (12) minute response timeline IAW DoDI 6055.06 table E3.T1. 90% of the time, and as outlined in the PWS description of services and paragraph 1.2.2. Standard of Acceptability: The offeror's response provides sufficient information for the Government to determine whether or not the offeror has the ability to successfully meet the required timeline in the Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 6055.06 for on-scene arrival of twelve (12) minutes 90% of the time for emergency calls. •· The offeror's response includes a detailed procedure for meeting the Government's requirement for additional support as outline in PWS para 1.2.1.2. (ii) Sub Factor 2: Qualifications and Experience - Offerors will be evaluated to the extent to which they provide information that demonstrates offeror's qualifications and experience in meeting the requirements within the PWS. Standard of Acceptability: The offer's response provides sufficient information for the Government to determine the offeror has provided: •· Evidence of current State of Texas certified EMT-Paramedics with Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certifications for all employees or demonstrate the ability to obtain/provide all certifications prior to the required contract start date. See additional certifications/licensure requirements in PWS, Paragraph 1.3.5.1. •· Information that drivers meet or exceed the requirements in PWS, Paragraph 1.3.5.4. •· Evidence of contractor's license to operate in Texas per Texas Department of State Health. Services Consumer Protection (Emergency Medical Services Unit). •· Evidence of the experience and qualifications of the offeror's paramedics/EMTs. (iii) Sub Factor 3: Management Capability Factor - Offerors will be evaluated to the extent to which they provide evidence for Management experience and ability to manage the scope and magnitude of the PWS. Standard of Acceptability: The offeror's response clearly provides sufficient information (based on the items provided below) for the Government to determine whether or not the offeror's proposed management structure has demonstrated an ability to manage the scope and magnitude of their effort as outline in the PWS. •· Resumes of key management personnel that demonstrates experience for similar contracts of like size and scope; •· Vehicle Fleet management;•· Offeror's overall approach to safety and training programs; •· Accessibility of management and management's responsiveness to problems on the proposed contract; •· Quality Control/Assurance Programs; specifically; · Describe the current and historical workload volume and address the impact of the Government's business on overall operations; and, based on the items above, the offeror's response clearly provides sufficient information for the Government to determine whether or not the offeror's proposed management structure has demonstrated an ability to manage the scope and magnitude of the PWS. (iv) Sub Factor 4: Mission Essential Contractor Services Plan. The Government has identified all of the contractor services performed under this contract as essential contractor services in support of mission-essential functions. Therefore, in accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) provision 252.237‑7024, Notice of Continuation of Essential Contractor Services, offerors shall provide with their offer, a written plan describing how the offeror will continue to perform the essential contractor services listed in the PWS. Standard of Acceptability: The offeror's response provides sufficient information for the Government to determine whether or not the offeror's Mission Essential Contractor Services Plan meets the requirements of DFARS 252.237-7024 as indicated below: (1) Identifies provisions made for the acquisition of essential personnel and resources, if necessary, for continuity of operations for up to 30 days or until normal operations can be resumed; (2) Addresses in the plan, at a minimum- (i) Challenges associated with maintaining essential contractor services during an extended event, such as a pandemic that occurs in repeated waves; (ii) The time lapse associated with the initiation of the acquisition of essential personnel and resources and their actual availability on site; (iii) The components, processes, and requirements for the identification, training, and preparedness of personnel who are capable of relocating to alternate facilities or performing work from home; (iv) Any established alert and notification procedures for mobilizing identified "essential contractor service" personnel; and (v) The approach for communicating expectations to contractor employees regarding their roles and responsibilities during a crisis. (b) FACTOR 2 - PRICE EVALUATION: Next, the government shall rank all technically acceptable offers by total evaluated price (TEP). An offeror's TEP will be determined by multiplying all unit prices by the quantities in the SF 1449/Schedule (Attachment 4) and adding all extended prices, including options. Options include the Government's Option to Extend Services in accordance with (IAW) FAR 52.217-8. One-half (six (6) months) of the offeror's proposed price for the fourth option period will be added to the offeror's total price to determine the TEP. The Government will utilize FAR 13.106 to determine the price reasonableness of the apparent best value offer. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the options. (c) FACTOR 3 - PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT: Using questionnaires, the contracting officer shall seek relevant performance information on all offerors based on the past and present efforts provided by the offeror. The Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror's Past Performance submittals and information obtained from other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and commercial sources and/or non-Government sources, such as any commercial business or customers referenced by the offeror in any of the past performance information disclosed. Past performance will be evaluated for recency, relevancy, and quality based on customer feedback from three (3) Past Performance Questionnaires (however see paragraph above) to establish a single performance confidence assessment rating as follows: Table 3.1 Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings Rating Description Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror's performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance. Limited Confidence Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. No Confidence Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. Recent past performance is defined as complete and/or ongoing Government and/or Industry projects performed within three (3) years of the RFP release date. Relevant past performance is defined as projects that demonstrate a record of providing services similar to those required by the PWS. Table 3.2 Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Rating Definition Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort as this solicitation Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort as this solicitation. Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort as this solicitation. Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort as this solicitation. In evaluating past performance, greater consideration may be given to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the government to assess the offeror's ability to perform the effort described in this solicitation, based on the offeror's demonstrated present and past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment as described in Table 3.1 outlined above. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history or with a performance record so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating "Neutral Confidence," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. Quality of past performance is defined as how well the offeror performed a particular project. If the Government receives more than three (3) Past Performance Questionnaires from one offeror, the Government will evaluate the three (3) Past Performance Questionnaires pertaining to the offeror's three (3) most recent projects. If an offeror does not request past performance feedback from its customers on the basis that it does not possess a recent/relevant past performance record, then the offeror shall affirmatively state so in its proposal. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal and respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the base period. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. (d) If the lowest priced evaluated technically acceptable offer is judged to have a Substantial Confidence performance confidence assessment, that offer represents the best value for the government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. (e) If the lowest priced offeror is not judged to have a Substantial Confidence performance confidence assessment, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is judged to have a Substantial Confidence performance confidence assessment or until all offerors are evaluated. The Contracting Officer shall then make an integrated assessment best value award decision. (f) Contract Award: The Government intends to award, without exchanges, to the offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct exchanges if deemed in its best interest. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information, and in the format specified in 52.212-1 Addendum. The government reserves the right to conduct interchanges if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer to resolve issues such as technical or price, or deal with contract documentation including any other matter in the evaluation process. The contracting officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity to revise proposals (g) Prior to an award, an offeror may be requested to provide business information for the purposes of a responsibility determination in accordance with FAR Part 9. Failure to provide requested information may result in a determination of non-responsibility, and the offeror would then be considered ineligible for award. Definitions: Interchanges Interchanges can be informal or formal. The CO may use e-mail, send an Interchange Notice (IN) or phone call, etc., asking for clarifications, change pages, revisions or other documentation. The Government may conduct interchanges with one, some, none, or all offerors at its discretion. A competitive range determination is not required to enter into interchanges and Final Proposal Revisions will not be required. Only proposals rated technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of interchanges, will be eligible for award. Offerors are advised that FAR Part 15 procedures will not be used to evaluate offers (End of Addendum to 52.212-2) (x) See Attachment 2 - Additional Terms & Conditions and for full-text of Provisions and Clauses.
