Evaluation A contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced technically acceptable quoter(s). Quotes will be evaluated for acceptability but will not be ranked using the non-cost/price factors. In order to be eligible for award, quoters must receive a rating of “acceptable” in every non-price factor/sub-factor.

Quoter(s) can quote on both locations, or a single location, but must provide a complete quote for the base and option years of that location.

The following factors will be used to determine technical acceptability:

Factor #1 Technical Capability:

In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this sub-factor, quote must at a minimum, demonstrate adequate experience and equipment to successfully perform the services specified.

Factor #2 Ability to Meet Performance Schedule:

In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this factor, quoter shall provide information that demonstrates the ability to meet morning snow removal as required by overnight accumulation, and removal as snow continues to accumulate.

Factor #3 Past Performance: Recency and relevancy of present/past performance in relation to this effort –

In order to receive a rating of “acceptable” for this sub-factor, quoter must, at a minimum provide past experience on similar type contract(s). The past experience should indicate successes of the contractor in completing/meeting service requirements and performance schedules.

The Government considers “recent” present/past performance to be within the past 3 years.

The Government considers “relevant” present/past performance to be present/past performance effort involved in similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

The Government may also use past performance information obtained from other than the sources identified by the quoter. Information obtained from the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) database located at http//www.ppirs.gov is one of the sources that will be utilized. PPIRS functions as the central warehouse for performance assessment reports received from several Federal performance information collection systems and is sponsored by the DOD E-Business Office and administered by the Naval Sea Logistics Center Detachment Portsmouth.

NOTE: In accordance with FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)), in the case of a quoter without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” will be considered “acceptable.”

Factor #4 -Price: Award will be made to the lowest priced offeror that is evaluated as “acceptable” for all non-price factors.
