Re: RFQ 127EAX21Q0022 Spicer Snow Parks Parking Lot Rehab Award Announcement

Dear Participant:

The purpose of this letter is to provide notice of award for Request for Quotations (RFQ), referenced above, for the Stanislaus National Forest SO, Spicer Snow Parks Parking Lot Rehab.

Three (3) offers were received in response to the RFQ posted to BetaSam on May 27, 2021. A Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) was set up to review submitted offers in accordance with criteria set forth in FAR 15.101-1:

15.101-1 Tradeoff process.

(a) A tradeoff process is appropriate when it may be in the best interest of the Government to consider award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror.

(b) When using a tradeoff process, the following apply:

(1) All evaluation factors and significant subfactors that will affect contract award and their relative importance shall be clearly stated in the solicitation; and

(2) The solicitation shall state whether all evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly more important than, approximately equal to, or significantly less important than cost or price.

(c) This process permits tradeoffs among cost or price and non-cost factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal. The perceived benefits of the higher priced proposal shall merit the additional cost, and the rationale for tradeoffs must be documented in the file in accordance with 15.406.

and Section M of the solicitation:

SECTION M – EVALUATION FACTORS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

M.2 EVALUATION OF OFFERS

The Government will evaluate offers based on the best overall value to the Government, price and other factors considered. Factors to be considered include:

• FACTOR 1: NON PRICE EVALUATION CRITERIA

o Contractor's Capability based on Questionnaire responses – Attachment 1; Questionnaire https://www.acquisition.gov/far/15.406#FAR_15_406 http://www.arnet.gov/far/

• FACTOR 2: PRICE

Evaluation of Price Proposals: Price is approximately equal, to the non price evaluation factors.

As the difference between technical scoring decreases, price will increase in relative importance.

The Government may reject any or all proposals, make award to other than the lowest offeror and waive minor informalities or irregularities in offers received. If necessary, the Government may conduct discussions with any offeror.

The Government may award a contract on the basis of offers as received, without entering into discussions with any offeror. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms.
