CAR 1352.213-70 Evaluation Utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures (APR 2010) The Government intends to award a trade-off, firm fixed price purchase order resulting from this request for quotation to the responsible offeror whose quotation results in the best value to the Government, considering both price and non-price factors with payment terms of Net 30.

The evaluation will consider the Non-Price Technical Solution (Technical Approach, Capability, Experience and Past Performance) to be significantly more important than price. However, as quotes are determined to be more equal in the non-price evaluation factors, price becomes more important.

The Government reserves the right not to award a purchase order depending on the quality of the quote(s) submitted and the availability of funds.

The Government may award to other than the lowest-priced vendor or the vendor with the highest technical rating if the Contracting Officer determines that to do so would result in the best value to the Government. The Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall price to achieve only slightly superior performance capability.

The following factors are listed in order of importance and will be used to evaluate quotations:

1. Technical Approach and Capability.

The Offeror’s overall technical approach will be evaluated to assess the Government's level of confidence in the Offeror’s understanding of, approach to, and ability to successfully perform the requirements as described in the Statement of Work. A detailed technical approach write-up describing how the Offeror will perform this service is required to be submitted with the quote regardless of whether a site visit was made or not. The technical approach write-up must not be a reiteration of the Statement of Work, but how your company plans on performing the tasks listed in the attached Statement of Work. (i.e. performance checklists, anticipated number of employees, anticipated hours at the facility and/or confirmation of supplies being provided, etc.)

2. Experience.

The offeror's background, experience, and qualifications (relevant past projects performing similar services, certifications related to current requirement, etc.) will be assessed to determine the likelihood that the offeror can successfully perform the contract requirements.

Offeror must have knowledge and experience with parking lot sealcoat treatment and striping.

3. Past Performance.

Quote shall include at least two references from at least two separate contracts for similar and relevant services including the name, phone number, full address, and e-mail address of the reference to demonstrate the offeror’s capability to successfully perform the services listed in the Statement of Work.

The offeror is required to fill out blocks 1-4 and send the attached Past Performance Questionnaire to the references provided by the offeror in their submission, and email the completed survey form directly to (CS/CO email) by the closing date and time of this solicitation. The Government reserves the right to consider past performance report forms received after the due date and time of the solicitation, past performance questionnaires submitted from previous solicitations, and to contact references for verification or additional information.

The Offeror's past performance on related contracts will be evaluated to determine, as appropriate, successful performance of contract requirements, quality and timeliness of delivery of goods and services, cost management, communications between contracting parties, proactive management and customer satisfaction. The Government will use its discretion to determine the sources of past performance information used in the evaluation, and the information may be obtained from references provided by the Offeror, the agency’s knowledge of Offeror performance, other government agencies or commercial entities, or past performance databases, and will be based on responsiveness, quality, and customer services.

Offerors lacking relevant past performance history, or for whom past performance information is either not available or has not been submitted to the Government, will receive a neutral rating for past performance.

4. Price.

The quoted prices will be evaluated but not scored. The Government will evaluate the price quote for completeness and reasonableness in relation to the RFQ requirements. Quoted prices must be entirely compatible with the Non-Price Technical Solution.

5. Period of Performance: Work completed no later than 240 days of award, quotes must provide confirmation they can fulfill this requirement.

6. Warranty in writing for parts and labor.

(End of Provision)

(4) A technical description showing that the offeror can supply the requirements in the specifications or statement of work in sufficient detail to allow the Government to evaluate the quotation in accordance with the evaluation factors stated in the solicitation.

(5) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and reference information (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information).

(6) Price and any supporting details for the price, as requested in the solicitation.

(c) Offerors are responsible for submitting quotations and any modifications thereto, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified. The offeror's initial quotation should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government may reject any or all quotations if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest quotation; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotations received.

STATEMENT OF WORK

Parking Lot Sealcoat Treatment and Striping

1. BACKGROUND:

The National Weather Service (NWS), Weather Forecast Office (WFO’s) in Pocatello, ID and Las Vegas, NV have parking lots that have not been resealed in 10-15 years and are in severe need of treatment. The existing surface has deteriorated with large cracks.

2. GENERAL INTENTION:

To obtain the services of crack repair, seal coat and re-striping parking stalls to include one handicap stall with handicap symbol.

3. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:

The contractor shall provide all supervision, labor, tools, materials and equipment necessary to perform work as stated. All work and materials supplied shall be in accordance with these instructions, manufacturer’s specification, all applicable federal, state, local, OSHA, EPA, NEC, NFPA, building and facilities codes and criteria.

The Contractor Shall:

3.1. Provide, as necessary, sufficient traffic barricades while the work is in progress to restrict access to the work area until the sealer application and re-striping work is completed. Remove the barricades only after notifying the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) that the work is complete and vehicle access is authorized.

3.2. Contractor shall verify all measurements stated below for WFO specifications.

Total Asphalt area for each site is listed below.

● Pocatello, ID - 14,350 ft2

3.3. The material used is within its manufacturer stated shelf life; proof of shelf life shall be provided to the COR.

3.4. Prior to surface cleaning, clean out all cracks using compressed air, and seal all cracks between 1/8” to 2” in the pavement using an approved crack sealant. The crack sealant shall be compatible with the surface sealer being applied to the asphalt paved areas of this project.

3.5. Repair cracks that are larger than 2” in width by saw cutting. Remove 6” of old material on each side of the crack (1 foot in total). Pack removed area with new asphalt.

3.6. Before applying the sealer, all foreign material shall be removed from the surfaces to be treated including stall striping tape, loose material, dirt, clay, oil and grease spots. Oil and grease spots shall be cleaned and spot primed. After the cleaning operation and prior to application of the sealer, the Contractor will inspect the area to be treated to determine its ability to receive the sealer.

3.7. The asphalt sealer shall be of a type that has been used commercially in the specified areas for at least the past three years. The sealer shall also have a proven record of satisfactory performance based on the ability of the material to reduce the rate of loss of fines and to retard crack propagation of the pavement.

3.8. All pavement markings which existed prior to the application of the surface sealer shall be reestablished by the contractor after the manufacturer-recommended curing period. All guidelines and templates shall be furnished by the contractor. Finished edges of all markings shall be sharply outlined.
