SECTION M--EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

AWARD DETERMINATION

Award will be made using the Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13. Award will be made to the offeror whose acceptable offer provides the best value to the government, considering price and the non-price factors. Non-price evaluation factors include past performance, capability of offeror.

EVALUATION FACTORS

Acceptability of the Offer The Government will determine the acceptability of each offer on a pass or fail basis. An offer is acceptable when it manifests the offeror's assent, without exception, to the terms and conditions of the RFQ, including attachments. If an offeror takes an exception to any of the terms and conditions of the RFQ, then the Government will consider its offer to be unacceptable.

Capability of the Offeror The Government will assess the capability of each offeror on the basis of the following criteria: (1) Understanding of the Government's requirements, (2) Organizational Experience, and (3) Organizational Past Performance. The Government will not assess capability on a pass/fail basis, but will use its assessments of capability as a basis for comparing offerors to determine best value.

(1) Understanding of the Government's Requirements. The Government will evaluate each offeror's relative understanding of the Government's requirements on the basis of its written submittals addressing the following subfactors:

a) Any information that indicates the extent to which the site for this project was visited.

b) The results concluded from the site visit.

c) The resources (personnel and equipment) which are planned for use on the project, and how realistic that plan is given concurrent obligations. Discuss any subcontractors and their background and capability.

d) Site-specific safety plan.

e) Plan of work to include the major tasks and timelines.

f) Where applicable, estimated production rates.

(2) Organizational Experience. Experience is the opportunity to learn by doing. The Government will evaluate each offeror's organizational experience on the basis of its breadth, its depth, and its relevance to the work that will be required under the prospective contract. The Government will not evaluate an offeror's organizational experience on the basis of the personal experience of the offeror's key personnel. However, the Government will consider the extent to which the offeror's key personnel have worked together in the past.

(3) Organizational Past Performance. Past performance is a measure of the degree to which an offeror satisfied its customers in the past and complied with Federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The

Government will contact some of each offeror's customers to ask whether or not: (1) the offeror was capable, efficient, and effective; (2) the offeror's performance conformed to the terms and conditions of its contract (specifications); (3) work was finished within the contract time; (4) the offeror was reasonable and cooperative during performance; and (5) the offeror was committed to customer satisfaction. In evaluating past performance, the Government will contact some of the references provided by the offeror and other sources of information, including, but not limited to: Federal, state, and local government agencies, better business bureaus, published media, and electronic data bases.
