• 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

Cordova Elevator Modernization Page 3 of 14 than 5 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 setting/area and limitations. 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 with:

o Installing elevators located in remote locations.

• 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.

Submission Requirements. The offeror shall provide documentation outlining the offeror’s past performance with contracts, as a prime or major subcontractor, which is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this Solicitation. The submittal shall include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance and how it was determined that the work performed previously was the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the work specified by this solicitation.
