SECTION 2

STATEMENT OF WORK

2.1 Background

The C&O Canal National Historical Park (CHOH NHP) occupies the Maryland bank of the Potomac River from Cumberland, MD to Washington, DC. The Park spans over 184 linear miles and contains the historical infrastructure of the C&O Canal.

The primary feature of the park is the towpath, an earthen path used by mules in the 19th and early 20th century to draw boats up and down the entire length of the canal. Today the towpath exists as a recreational and commuter thoroughfare for pedestrian and cyclist traffic with intermittently improved and unimproved camp sites and historical landscape features such as locks, culverts, waste weirs, and lockhouses.

Since the towpath transits areas dominated by lowland riparian forests containing an estimated 6.5 million trees, the necessity for robust and continual grounds management is necessary to maintain public safety in accordance with applicable regulation while ensuring sustained trafficability. This presents challenges for National Park Service staff given the vastness of the park, the constricted access and trafficability of the towpath, dangerous working environment, and the high throughput rates of cyclists, pedestrians, and campers. Furthermore, the park contains over 1,400 classified structures, most of a historical nature, that have statutory preservation requirements. Under assessment several capability gaps with the current construction equipment array fielded in the park are apparent.

2.2 Goals and Objectives

The United States National Park Service Purchase has a requirement for a RC Mower; this mower will assist in addressing critical capability gaps in the physical execution of the grounds care equipment mission. The CHOH NHP aims to increase productivity and decrease maintenance.

SECTION 5 EVALUATION OF QUOTATIONS

5.1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Quotations submitted in response to this RFQ shall be received by the due date and time specified in the RFQ.

5.2 BASIS FOR AWARD

Award shall be made to the responsible Small Business offeror whose quotation, in conforming to this RFQ, provides the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) offer to the Government. The evaluation shall be performed on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of quotes, meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. The LPTA source selection process shall not involve tradeoffs between technical and cost details. Quotation/s received will be evaluated for acceptability or unacceptability, but not ranked using the non-cost/price factors.

The Government will first evaluate the total proposed prices. Thereafter, the Government will evaluate the non-price factors of the two lowest overall priced quotes. If the lowest priced contractor’s quote is determined to be rated as Acceptable, the Government may make award to that contractor without further evaluation of the remaining quotes. If the lowest price quote is determined to be rated Unacceptable, then the Government may evaluate the next lowest price quote, and so forth and so on, until the Government reaches the lowest price quote that is determined to be rated as Acceptable. The Government reserves the right to evaluate all quotes should it be desired or determined to be in the best interest of the Government.

The Government also reserves the right not to make an award as a result of this competition if, in the opinion of the Government, none of the submissions would provide satisfactory performance at a price that is considered fair and reasonable.

The Government will evaluate offers on the basis of information furnished by the offeror and shall not be responsible for locating or obtaining any information not identified in the offer.

5.3 EVALUATION CRITERIA

(The Government will award a delivery order to the responsible Offeror whose quotation, in conforming to this Request for Quotation, is determined to be the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable offer to the Government as follows:

1. Price. The Offeror is expected to propose a fair and reasonable price in accordance with the information provided in this RFQ.

2. Technical Acceptability. Technical acceptability will be evaluated by determining whether the Offeror’s quotation meets or exceeds the technical requirements and quantities listed in Section 2 of this RFQ.

5.4 AWARD

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