Page Limitation (if any)

*Note page limitations: A Cover Page, Table of Contents, resumes and/or a glossary of abbreviations or acronyms will not be included in the page count of the Technical Section. However, be advised that all information contained within any Table of Contents and/or glossary of abbreviations or acronyms submitted with an Offeror’s Quote will not be evaluated by the Government.

AWARD BASIS AND EVALUATION METHOD:

The Government will award a firm fixed priced contract to the responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the requirements in this request for quote, will be most advantageous to the Government. This is a competitive selection and Past Performance is significantly more important than Technical and Price, when combined. By submission of its quote, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

SECTION I - TECHNICAL:

a. The offeror shall provide evidence that the offeror possesses a minimum of three (3) years of experience relevant to the level of work in the PWS.

b. The offeror shall provide a detailed operational plan to include staffing approach. The operational plan shall address and identify how the offeror will meet the requirements of each section of the PWS. The Technical Rating shall be conducted and rated either “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” in accordance with Table 2.

Table 2 Technical Ratings

SECTION II - PAST PERFORMANCE:

a. Using the Past Performance Questionnaires, the CO shall seek relevant past performance information on Valet Parking Services based on: (1) the references provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources. Relevant past performance includes performance of efforts involving Valet Parking Services that are similar or greater in scope, magnitude and complexity to the effort described in this solicitation. The government reserves the right to seek information on higher priced offerors if none of the lower priced offerors receive a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment rating. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the government to assess the offeror’s ability to perform the effort described in the solicitation, based on the offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance. Past performance evaluated will be the past performance of the prime contractor (Company submitting the quote). The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Unknown Confidence as defined in Table 3 below. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will/will not be considered as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history or the offeror’s performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating “Unknown Confidence”, meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. Offeror’s who are considering “Teaming Agreements”, both companies shall be verified SDVOSBs.

b. In evaluating past performance, the government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation.

c. If the lowest priced evaluated offer is judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance rating and is determined to be responsible, that offer represents the best value for the government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.

d. If the lowest priced offeror is not judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment or until all offerors are evaluated.

e. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the proposal preparation instructions to permit a meaningful assessment of past performance. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. The Following will be used to rate the past performance of each offeror:

Table 3 Past Performance

SECTION III - PRICE:

a. Initially offers shall be ranked according to price, including option prices. An offeror’s proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the Pricing Schedule by the unit price for each item to confirm the extended amount for each.
