Inquiries

Any prospective quoter desiring an explanation or interpretation of the solicitation, drawings, specifications, etc., must request it in writing, not later than 5 calendar before the closing date, to allow a reply to reach all prospective quoters before submission of their quotes. Oral explanations or instructions given before the award of a contract will not be binding. In no event shall failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after contract award.

Instructions for Submission of Quotes

(a) Submit signed and dated quotes to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Quotes should be submitted via the OF 336 CONTINUATION SHEET plus Technical Response documents of the Quoter's design as specified in the solicitation. Quotes shall be submitted in two parts (technical and price). Each part shall be separate and complete in itself so that evaluation of one may be accomplished independently of the other.. As a minimum, quoters must show:

Quotes received after the designated time may not be considered if the Contracting Officer has begun the evaluation process.

(c) Contract award. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with Quoters. Therefore, the Quoter's initial response should contain the Quoter's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest (i.e. cost prohibitive); accept other than the lowest quote; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received.

(d) System for Award Management (SAM). To be considered for award all Quoters must be successfully registered in the SAM database (www.sam.gov) AT THE TIME A QUOTE IS SUBMITTED. See FAR Clause 52.204-7, System for Award Management, as applicable for requirement information.

The suffix is assigned at the discretion of the Quoter to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative EFT accounts (see subpart 32.11) for the same entity. If the Quoter does not have a unique entity identifier, it should contact the entity designated at www.sam.gov for unique entity identifier establishment directly to obtain one. The Quoter should indicate that it is a Quoter for a Government contract when contacting the entity designated at www.sam.gov for establishing the unique entity identifier.

(f) Electronic Submissions

(1) Quoters must submit electronic responses this solicitation. Email quotes to tracy.marino@usda.gov. Please limit the size of your file to 5 MB or less; more is not always better, so please be concise. Include the solicitation number in the subject line of the email. Files in Adobe Acrobat are the preferred file type; other types may be accepted but the quoter may be required to change type if the Government cannot open the attachment.

(2) If any portion of a quote received by the Contracting Officer is unreadable to the degree that conformance to the essential requirements of the solicitation cannot be ascertained from the document--

(i) The Contracting Officer immediately shall notify the quoter and permit the quoter to resubmit the quote.

(ii) The method and time for resubmission shall be prescribed by the Contracting Officer after consultation with the quoter; and

(iii) The resubmission shall be considered as if it were received at the date and time of the original unreadable submission for the purpose of determining timeliness, provided the quoter complies with the time and format requirements for resubmission prescribed by the Contracting Officer.

(3) Facsimile Submissions will not be accepted.

(4) Hard Copy Submissions will not be accepted

Basis for Award

(a) The contracting officer shall make a contract award (1) by written or electronic notice; (2) within the time for acceptance specified in the quote or an extension; and (3) to that responsible quoter whose quote, conforming to the solicitation, will be most advantageous to the Government.

(b) To be determined responsible, a prospective contractor must --

(1) Have adequate financial resources to perform the contract, or the ability to obtain them;

(2) Be able to comply with the required or proposed delivery or performance schedule, taking into consideration all existing commercial and governmental business commitments;

(3) Have a satisfactory performance record. A prospective contractor shall not be determined responsible or non-responsible solely on the basis of a lack of relevant performance history;

(4) Have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics;

(5) Have the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them (including, as appropriate, such elements as production control procedures, property control systems, quality assurance measures, and safety programs applicable to materials to be produced or services to be performed by the prospective contractor and subcontractors).

(6) Have the necessary production, construction, and technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them;

and http://www.sam.gov/ mailto:tracy.marino@usda.gov

(7) Be otherwise qualified and eligible to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations.

(c) To be determined responsive, a responsive bid must comply in all material respects with the solicitation.

Examples of solicitation requirement that could determine responsiveness include:

- acknowledgement of amendments (if any);

- completed representations and certifications; and

- quoters not furnishing unit prices for each item listed in the Schedule requiring a unit price. If the quoter fails to insert a unit price in the appropriate blank for required item(s), but does furnish an extended total, or an estimated amount for such item(s), the Government shall deem the unit price to be the quotient obtained by dividing the extended amount for that line item by the quantity. Should any mathematical check made by the Government show a mistake in the extended amount quoted, the corrected unit price extension shall govern. IF A QUOTER OMITS

BOTH THE UNIT PRICE AND THE EXTENDED TOTAL OR ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR ANY ITEM, ITS

BID SHALL BE DECLARED NON-RESPONSIVE AND THEREFORE INELIGIBLE FOR AWARD. Pricing must be submitted for all items.

(d) The Government will determine the acceptability of each quote on a pass or fail basis considering the following factors. Quotes that fail any of these elements will not be considered for award.

(1) A quoter takes exception to the any of the terms and conditions of the RFQ, including attachments.

(2) A quoter is not currently registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) by the closing date of the solicitation.

(3) A quoter cannot be verified as a Small Business as shown in SAM or other proof as submitted by the quoter.

(4) An incomplete quote that lacks sufficient information for the government to perform a technical evaluation to determine acceptability.

(e) Remaining quotes will be evaluated and award will be made as a whole to one quoter.

(1) For past performance, each quote will be evaluated on their performance under existing and prior contracts of a similar nature. The Government will focus on information that demonstrates quality of performance relative to the size, scope, work type and complexity of the procurement under consideration. The Government may contact references beyond those identified by the quoter to obtain additional information used in the responsibility determination and in the evaluation of the Quoters past performance. Performance information may be obtained on any federal, state, local, and commercial contract performance of the quoter that is known to the Government and may include information from existing contract files. Additionally, personal experience and an evaluator 's personal knowledge of Quoters performance may be used. The Government will be accessing whether work performed on similar projects reflects a positive record of customer satisfaction and contract compliance.

(2) Relevant experience will be evaluated on the basis of the jobs that the quoter has had similar in size, scope, work type and complexity to the work that the contractor will have to perform under the contract awarded based upon this solicitation. The government will be accessing whether the experience is relevant to the work to be performed under this solicitation.

(3) Price will include consideration of pay item prices entered in OF 336 CONTINUATION SHEET. It is the Government's intent to assess the unit prices to determine reasonableness and Quoters understanding of the work and ability to perform the contract.

Evaluation Criteria

(a) The following factors will be used to evaluate quotes:

1. Past Performance

2. Relevant Experience

3. Price

Factor 1: Relevant Past Performance - Past performance is a measure of the degree to which a vendor, as an organization, has satisfied its customers, and complied with federal, state, and local laws and regulations on projects similar in size, scope, work type and complexity. Quoters shall submit past performance information for their firm and any proposed major subcontractors. Performance information may be obtained from references provided. List major contracts and subcontracts completed during the past three years and all contracts and subcontracts in progress. The list should include, but is not limited to, contracts and subcontracts similar in nature and complexity to that required by this solicitation. Include contracts with the Federal Government, agencies of state and local governments, and commercial customers. Quoters that are newly formed entities, without prior contracts as an entity, should list contracts and subcontracts completed by all key personnel. Firms with no experience in the type of work described may show similar type projects which demonstrate their ability to perform in a timely manner, experience, and past performance of their employees, or their work as a subcontractor.

Factor 2: Relevant Experience - Relevant Experience: Relevant Experience is the measure of your experience in projects of similar size, scope, work type and complexity. Relevant experience must be clearly demonstrated and not left to speculation. Identify specific projects successfully completed that you consider gives the evidence that proves your firm has the depth and breadth of experience required to perform the various tasks contemplated in this solicitation.

Factor 3: Price

(b) Options. Except when it is determined not to be in the Government's best interests, the Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quote's specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
