This contract will be awarded in accordance with FAR Part 15 -- 15.101-1 Tradeoff process.

M.3 TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTORS

Factor 1. Past Performance

Past performance is a measure of the degree to which the offeror (including major subcontracts) has satisfied previous customers and complied with Federal, State and Local laws and regulations.

The Government will contact references to assess the quality of the contractor’s work, timely completion, project management, and compliance with regulatory requirements. The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data and general trends in contractor performance.

The past performance evaluation will characterize the level of the Government’s confidence that the offeror will successfully complete the work, in compliance with all contract requirements, based on its record of successful performance on recent and relevant similar projects.

In the past performance evaluation, the Government may use information from sources other than the offeror’s proposal. Other sources of information, may include, but are not limited to:

Federal, State and Local government agencies, better business bureaus, published media and electronic databases such as the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS).

Where there is little or no information available regarding the offeror’s past performance history because the offeror is new to the marketplace, the past performance evaluation may take into account information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the work. When no information is available, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

Factor 2. Work Plan / Technical Approach to Performing the Work

The Government will evaluate the overall approach and rational means & methods to complete the project in a successful, safe, and efficient manner. When evaluating the Technical Approach to Performing the Work, the government will assess the reasonableness of the contractor’s proposed approach to performing the work

Factor 4. Performance Schedule

The firm will be evaluated for a schedule within the mandatory period of performance with logical work progression to meet the requirements of the statement of work and specification requirements.

The government expects to make an award without discussions, however reserves the right to conduct discussion if necessary. In the event that discussion are conducted, the competitive range may be limited for purposes of efficiency. Offerors schedule of values is clearly organized with a sufficient level of detail to allow for the Government to effectively administer the contract.

M.4 EVALUATION RATINGS

Since an offeror's proposal(s) must be compliant in order for it to be eligible for award, compliance of the offer is a mandatory solicitation requirement. Each proposal will be evaluated strictly on its content and will not assume that performance will include anything not specified in the proposal. The evaluation will be conducted in accordance with the procedures established herein. The Evaluation Panel will assign to each evaluation criterion a final adjective consensus rating.

1. Award will be made to that offeror whose proposal is technically beneficial and whose technical benefit to price relationship is the most advantageous to the Government.

2. Evaluation criteria, when combined, are approximately equal to price. The critical factor in making any tradeoff between technical performance and price is the importance of the difference in the technical rating and not the spread between the technical scores.

3. The Government reserves the right to make price/technical trade-offs that are in the best interest and most advantageous to the Government.

4. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is determined to be in the best interest of the Government.
