• The offeror shall include documentation regarding their relevant past performance as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation. The offeror SHALL NOT go back any farther than 3 years for the submitted data. The past performance data shall document a successful history of past contract performance.

• Relevant Past Performance: Submit a short narrative providing details of the experience the firm has (either as a prime or sub-contractor) performing work similar in nature, scope, and geographical conditions. Offerors may include project photos or other information related to experience and capability – including contact information for each project. Proposals should describe your firm’s/crew’s experience.

• In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror’s Past Performance submission and information obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or similar systems, The Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at https://www.cpars.gov, and commercial sources. Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by offerors in their offers may be used by the Government to evaluate offeror past performance. However, the burden of providing thorough, complete, and current past performance information as requested in this paragraph remains with the offerors. Offers that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph risk receiving an unacceptable performance rating by the Government. The overall past performance evaluation is a subjective decision based on the whole of all data received.

ADDENDUM to 52.212-2 Commercial Items

1. BASIS FOR AWARD AND EVALUATION CRITERIA

A. BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

1. This is a best value source selection conducted in accordance with

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) PART 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items. Award will be made to a single offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, whose offer conforms to the solicitation requirements, and whose offer, judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation criteria and other considerations specified in this solicitation, is the most advantageous to the Government.

2. The government reserves the right to conduct a price realism analysis at any point during the evaluation process. The Government will evaluate prices for reasonableness using adequate competition and price analysis techniques.

2. AWARD FOR ALL THE WORK. The government intends on awarding a single firm fixed price contract.

3. EVALUATION CRITERIA.

A. Evaluation criteria consist of factors and sub-factors. The offers will be evaluated under three evaluation factors and three sub-factors

1. FACTOR I – TECHINCAL CAPABILITY

2. FACTOR II - PAST PERFORMANCE

3. FACTOR III – PRICE

B. FACTOR I – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY. The Government will evaluate the degree to which your proposal demonstrates capability to perform services required by the Performance Work Statement (PWS); including the following criteria:

Table A-1. Technically Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Offer clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Offer does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

12363N23Q4211, Forests of MS Chickasawhay RD Mechanical Site Prep Page 5 of 28

C. FACTOR II - PAST PERFORMANCE. The Past Performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with an offeror’s likelihood of success in performing the solicitation’s requirements as indicated by that offeror’s record of past performance. Performance risk is assessed at the factor level after evaluating aspects of the offeror’s recent past performance and focusing on performance that is relevant to the services being procured under this solicitation. Past performance areas of evaluation include:

Quality of Service Timeliness of Performance Business Practices Customer Satisfaction Personnel

(1) Recency Assessment. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

(2) Relevancy Assessment. To be relevant, the effort must be of similar nature in geographic setting/area, work, size, magnitude, complexity and scope. The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine if it is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services/products being procured under this solicitation.

(3) Assigning Ratings. The Past Performance Factor will be assigned one of the ratings defined below. An award will not be made to any offeror who receives an “Unacceptable” past performance rating.

(4) Offerors without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available

Table A-2. Relevant Past Performance Evaluation Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

12363N23Q4211, Forests of MS Chickasawhay RD Mechanical Site Prep Page 6 of 28 or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

D. FACTOR III - PRICE. Price is not formally scored but is the primary evaluation factor for determining award. The government expects competitive offers to be submitted for this procurement and will use these competitive offers to determine price reasonableness. If competitive offers are not received, the Government reserves the right to utilize other methods identified in the FAR to determine price reasonableness.

(1) Completeness. Each offeror is required to provide complete pricing for each contract line identified.

(2) The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.

Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the options(s).

(3) The Government will evaluate the option contained in clause 52.217-8

– Option to Extend Services by adding to the total price one half the amount of the final year's option price (base year if no options).

Evaluation of this option shall not obligate the Government to exercise this option. The offeror shall not include pricing for this option period on their offer.

(4) The Government will evaluate the option contained in clause 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options by adding the total price of the base plus option item(s). Evaluation of this/these option(s) shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

Definitions.

Reasonableness. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.

Completeness/Accuracy. The offeror is in compliance with the Schedule of Items contained within the solicitation.
