The Government is not obligated to ask for additional information and in the absence of appropriate information, the proposal will be rated deficient.

Price Proposal A completed schedule of items with pricing information completes this requirement.

Also, the offeror shall submit information that illustrates a technical understanding of the work to be performed.

1) Relevant Past Performance:

Relevant Past Performance shall be obtained from previous work with the Federal Government and utilized for evaluation on this contract. Please provide at least 3 past performances with references.

2) Technical Approach:

All offerors should show a high level of understanding of the work to be performed. This can be accomplished by submitting with the proposal the following information:

1. Description of how the work will be performed

2. Schedule (accomplishing work while meeting weather conditions)

3. Key Personnel

4. List of equipment to be used

3) Experience/Qualification:

Technical Evaluation Criteria Technical proposals will be evaluated and rated by a Technical Evaluation Panel. Proposals shall be prepared in accordance with the proposal preparation instructions. The Government intends to evaluate quotations using a comparative evaluation methodology. This means quotations will be compared against one another to determine which provides the best value to the Government, based on the evaluation factors outlined in this solicitation.

1) Relevant Past Performance:

a) Relevant Past Performance shall be provided and utilized for evaluation on this contract.

2) Technical Approach:

b) Understanding of Proposed Work: Offeror demonstrates a technical understanding of the proposed work including but not limited to preliminary scheduling, equipment requirements, site conditions and location, project challenges, and material requirements.

3) Experience/Qualification:

Evaluates the company’s history, background, and ability to perform work of similar size, scope, and complexity. Specialized work and accomplishments relative to the scope of work.

4) Acceptability:

An offeror’s documented response to the solicitation will not be deemed acceptable, if not received by the specified closing date and time, and the submitted proposal not clearly demonstrate the offerors understanding the needed work. In such cases the offeror will be viewed as having “failed” this criterion and will not be considered for award.

5) Cost or Price:

Each acceptable offer will be evaluated for reasonableness of proposal price. This criterion will include consideration of cost information provided. It is the Government's intent to assess the unit prices to determine reasonableness and offeror's understanding of the work and ability to perform the contract. The importance of price may become greater as the differences between technical proposals decrease. Where technical proposals are determined to be substantially equal, price may control award.

(b) Award. 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.
