X X X x The reason for this amendment 0001 is to change the wording for FACTOR 3 in the "Instruction for Proposal Submission".

(See attached document for revised working)

Mario L. Santiago Contracting Officer

FACTOR 3: PRICE

The offeror shall submit one (1) copy of their price proposal in a separate volume. The price proposal shall include the schedule pages in Section B of this RFP. Total price will be evaluated by the Government. In evaluating the Offerors proposal price for this requirement, the Government’s concern includes determining whether the price is reasonable:

Reasonableness: The techniques and procedures described under FAR 12.209, Price Analysis, will be the primary means of assessing Proposal reasonableness. The Government will evaluate proposed prices to determine whether prices are realistic for the work to be performed; reflect a clear understanding of the requirements and are consistent with the various elements of the offerors mission capability Proposal. Unrealistically low proposed prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a Proposal from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement, or the offeror has provided an unrealistic Proposal. Price analysis techniques may include a comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation, comparison with other contract prices for similar services, and/or a comparison of proposed prices with the independent Government cost estimate. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to eliminate an Offeror from the competitive range if their prices are determined to be either extremely low or extremely high. Adjectival ratings will not be assigned to the price factor.

Relocation Lodging, Per Diem and Initial Travel costs are authorized and shall be reimbursed in accordance with the Federal Travel Regulation. Payment for relocation shall be based on actual expenses incurred and shall be reimbursed at rates not to exceed the maximum locality per diem rates (the combination of lodging, meals and incidentals) in effect at the time of travel, as set forth in the Federal Travel Regulations. Travel shall be approved in each case.
