(b) Selection Process

(1) Evaluations will be conducted under the procedures of FAR Part 13.

(2) In accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3), the quotes will undergo a comparative evaluation to determine which vendor provides the best value to the government in terms of high technical capability and past performance, while also providing a competitive price.

(c) Technical Approach

(1) The technical approach must not contain any references to pricing. Resource information such as data concerning labor hours and categories, equipment, materials, subcontracts, should be included in so that contractor’s understanding of the Scope of Work may be evaluated; however, any reference to pricing must not be included.

(3) The technical approach must clearly identify each element of the technical capability factor listed in provision 52.212-2. There are 2 elements listed and the vendors must indicate in the technical approach document which element they are addressing so that the Government can clearly identify which factor the information is addressing. This is not intended to be an overly burdensome task and can be accomplished by a simple heading indicating which element is being addressed followed by the supporting information. Please be deliberate in which area you are addressing and responding.

(4) For the individual elements of the technical capability factor, the quote must state how the contractor will address each element and cannot simply restate the Statement of Work.

E.2 52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible contractor whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate the quotes:

1) Factor #1, Technical Capability

2) Factor #2, Past Performance

3) Factor #3, Price In accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3), the quotes will undergo a comparative evaluation to determine which vendor provides the best value to the government in terms of high technical capability and past performance, while also providing a competitive price.

FACTOR 1 – Technical Capability The quotes will be evaluated using the information submitted in the technical approach addressing the following elements:

1) Expertise: What is the Contractor’s level of expertise in this field? Does the contract have experience in inspecting, repairing, sealing-coating fuel tanks and related storage containers? Does the contractor have experience with the various size containers pertaining to this procurement?

2) Subcontracting: Related to VAAR 852.215-71 Evaluation Factor Commitments; consideration is given for sub-contracting to an SDVOSB / VOSB. A description of sub-contractors’ participation and percentage of service performance must be provided along with a letter or commitment.

FACTOR 2 – Past Performance The past performance reference or surveys that the contractor submits with their quote package will be reviewed to determine if the previous work was recent (within the past 5 years) and relevant (similar size and magnitude). The surveys will also be reviewed to determine the overall trend in the ratings of quality for the previous contracts.

FACTOR 3 – Price The pricing information will consist of the contractor’s overall price to provide these services. In evaluating the contractor’s price, the Government’s determination will include whether the price reflects a clear understanding of the requirements, is consistent with the information provided in the contractor’s quote and is reasonable in comparison with other quotes that have been submitted in response to the solicitation. The Cost/Price Schedule of this RFQ will be used to provide contractor pricing. It is the contractor’s responsibility to provide accurate labor pricing which is in complete adherence to California State law and Federal mandates with regards to Services Contract Act, Health and Welfare, Executive Order 13706, Holiday Pay and Vacation Pay, and Wage Determination scales.

The evaluation will also consider the possibility that FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services can be exercised unilaterally if given 14 day notice and incrementally from one to six months, but for no more than a total of six months during the life of the contract. The evaluation will assume that the prices exercised under FAR 52.217-8 will be at the same rates as those in effect under the contract at the time the option is exercised. This evaluation will not obligate the Government to exercise any option under FAR 52.217-8.
