Technically qualified is defined as meeting the minimum requirements in Technical, Past Performance and Price as listed below. No trade-offs are made. To receive consideration for an award, the Contractor must NOT receive an "unacceptable" rating for the non-price factors.The Government may make an award based on initial quotes received without discussions with Contractors. Accordingly, each offer should be submitted in a completed form, without exception to any requirements.Failure to submit mandatory information for a factor, indicated by the word SHALL, will result in a rating of "unacceptable" for that factor, and the quote will be ineligible for award. It is incumbent upon the Contractor to submit sufficient information for the Government to determine technical acceptability, successful and satisfactory past performance and price. Failure to submit sufficient information for the government to determine technical acceptability, past performance or price may be cause for rejection of your quote.The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Contractor whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:1. PRICE:a. Contractors SHALL complete and submit the price schedule with their quote and include a price for each line item. Failure to do so will result in the offer being rejected without further consideration.b. The Contracting Officer will evaluate each quote in accordance with FAR 15.404-1 to determine price reasonableness. In this context, reasonableness will be determined by comparing quotes to one another, to the Government estimate and to pricing for previous work of a similar nature.2. TECHNICAL CAPABILITY:a. The Contractor SHALL submit evidence of the capability to meet the minimum requirements as specified in this solicitation and the attached Statement of Work. Quote shall demonstrate that the Contractor can provide the skills, equipment, and personnel required to perform the specified type of services are available, or can become available if the contract is awarded.b. The Technical Capability factor SHALL receive an adjectival rating based on the assessed strengths and inadequacies of each quote as they relate to the Technical Capability. Technical rating with details descriptions are show in the table below:TECHNICAL RATINGACCEPTABLE quote clearly meets the minimum technical capability of the performance work statementUNACCEPTABLE quote does not clearly meet the minimum technical capability of the performance work statement3. PAST PERFORMANCE:To demonstrate satisfactory past performance the contractor SHALL provide documentation of satisfactory performance on two (2) past or current contracts of a similar type, size, scope and complexity, performed within the last tee (3) years including references, with names and contact information of the references who can verify such past performance. Past performance information of key personnel may be provided if the company has limited or no past performance. In the case of an contractor with only one or without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the quote will be evaluated as "Acceptable" on Past Performance, providing the Contractor supplies a certified statement with their quote that no past performance information is available. The preferred method of evaluating Past Performance is the attached USACE Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attached). The Government's approach will be to check the references provided by the contractor to verify satisfactory past performance. In addition to the above, theGovernment may review any other sources, as well as data obtained from other sources available, i.e. government database, past contract files, etc. The offeror is cautioned that while the Government will consider data from other sources, the burden of demonstrating acceptable past performance rests with the offeror.PAST PERFORMANCE RATINGACCEPTABLE Based on the contractor's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Contractor will successfully perform the required effort, or the contractor's performance record is unknownUNACCEPTABLE Based on the Contractor's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the contractor will be able to successfully perform the required effort.(a) Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options tothe total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option (s).(b) ) 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.(End of provision)52.209-7 INFORMATION REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS (JULY 2013)(See Attachment)52.209-11 REPRESENTATION BY CORPORATIONS REGARDING DELINQUENT TAX LIABILITY OR A FELONY CONVICTION UNDER ANY FEDERAL LAW (FEB 2016)(See Attachment)52.212-3 OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (NOV2017) ALTERNATE I (OCT 2014) (See Attachment)52.212-5 CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT STATUTES OR EXECUTIVE ORDERS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (NOV 2017)(a) The Contractor shall comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, which are incorporated in this contract by reference, to implement provisions of law or Executive orders applicable to acquisitions of commercial items:(1) 52.203-19, Prohibition on Requiring Certain Internal Confidentiality Agreements or Statements (JAN 2017) (section 743 of Division E, Title VII, of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (Pub.
