Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. An unacceptable rating for any one factor makes the entire proposal unacceptable. Any costs incurred by offerors in preparing or submitting offers are the offerors' sole responsibility; the United States will not reimburse any offeror for any proposal preparation costs.

(2) Award will be made based on the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors.

(3) The following non-price factors will be evaluated for acceptability:

A. Experience on Comparable Projects

Project shall be considered “similar” if it meets ALL of the following characteristics:

2. Project involved the installation of solar powered LED signs and poles, or lights (pedestrian or traffic safety sign system).

3. Project included relocating any electrical and/or mechanical building system components.
