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. 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. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

Evaluation Factors - The following factors apply to this procurement:

FACTOR I - TECHNICAL:

· Offeror shall submit a detailed technical approach for completing the requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS). To include but not limited to the firm’s ability to provide the full range of services as outlined in the performance work statement.

· Offeror shall provide all licenses/permits/certifications needed in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, Municipal and local regulations necessary to perform the services required per the PWS.

· Offeror shall provide a Contingency Plan – provisions for inclement weather, insufficiencies, delays.

Table 2 Technical Ratings

FACTOR II - PAST PERFORMANCE:

Past performance information will be utilized to determine the quality of the contractor’s past performance as it relates to the probability of success of the required effort. The Government will evaluate customer satisfaction, responsiveness to customer needs, and past demonstration of meeting delivery schedules and the delivery of quality services. Emphasis will be on recent, relevant past performance in the previous three (3) years. Recent is defined as work performed within the last three (3) years. Relevant is defined as work similar in size and scope of the work described in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

Past performance information is one indicator of an offeror’s ability to perform the contract successfully. Current and relevant information, source of information, context of data, and general trends in Contractor’s performance shall be considered as it pertains to the performance of work described in this solicitation. Offerors may provide information on problems encountered on identified contracts and the offeror’s corrective action. The Government shall consider this information as well as information obtained from any other sources when evaluating the offeror’s past performance.

Since the Government may not necessarily interview all the sources provided by the offerors, it is incumbent upon the offeror to explain the relevance of the data provided. Offerors are reminded that the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources.

Offerors with no relevant past performance or whom information is not available, shall not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance, but may be considered less favorably than an offeror with favorable performance history.

The Past Performance Rating shall be rated in based on Table 3 below:

Table 3 Past Performance

FACTOR III - PRICE:

a. Offerors prices shall be submitted in accordance with the Price/Cost Schedule comprised within Section B of the solicitation document. Total price will be evaluated by the Government.
