52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Items. (Oct 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsive, responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the technical acceptability standards for non-price factors. The proposals are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non-cost/price factors.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Price Evaluation and Technical Evaluation

Price The government will evaluate the three (3) lowest price proposals for technical acceptability first. If the following proposals are determined unacceptable, the Government will evaluate the next three (3) lowest price firms for technical acceptability. This process shall continue until a firm is determined to be technical acceptable with the lowest price.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the base year period. The Government will determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

The Government reserves the right to consider as acceptable only those proposals submitted in accordance with all the requirements set forth or referenced in this solicitation. In order to fully assess and evaluate the merits of the submitted proposals, the contracting officer may seek clarifications from offerors.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions. There-fore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint.

The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions with companies submitting the most advantageous proposals if the contracting officer later determines them to be necessary. The con-tracting officer may limit the number of offerors with whom it will discuss proposals to the great-est number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTORS

A. EVALUATION FACTOR - PRIOR EXPERIENCE Weight – Acceptable / Not Acceptable

To be considered technically acceptable under this factor, the Offeror must demonstrate prior experience within the past seven (7) years concurrently managing and performing operation and maintenance, repairs and custodial services for at least one facility of similar size and scope (multi use and at least 400,000 RSF). Prior performance by predecessor companies and subcontractors may be considered. These previous projects may have been governmental (federal, state, or local) or private sector contracts. Experience on like projects for the Federal Government is considered a strong asset.

The offeror is requested to submit a detailed descriptive listing of one (1) projects at a minimum and five (5) projects at a maximum performed as the prime contractor within the past seven (7) years that are similar in nature to the one described in this solicitation (multi use and at least 400,000 RSF). For joint ventures, projects may be submitted for the joint venture as an entity or for an individual member of the joint venture. More recent performance may be deemed to have greater importance than less recent performance. In determining similarity the Government may look for comparability in terms of the following elements: square footage, duration, complexity and age of equipment and systems, makeup and mission of building occupants, types of services performed, level of Contractor responsibility and authority. If submitting information for current contracts, the Contractor must have a minimum of twelve (12) months experience performing the services at those location(s) by time of the closing date of this solicitation in order for those contracts to be evaluated as part of the offeror’s relevant prior experience. The detailed description submitted for each project should include, as a minimum, the following information:

(1) Type of facility, size of data center(s), nature of tenant mission and population, square footage, complexity of equipment, age of facilities.

(2) Estimated annual dollar value of contract.

(3) Description of services and level of responsibility and authority required.

(4) List of subcontracted services and subcontractors used, along with estimated annual cost of each subcontracted service.

(5) Type of contract (e.g. cost reimbursable, incentive fee, award fee, time and materials, fixed price, etc.).

(6) Date of contract start and completion, including options.

(7) Name, title, address, phone number, and email of customer contact. It is incumbent on the offeror to ensure information on former customers is current and accurate.

(8) Name, title, address, phone number, and email of the building's owner or a representative of the owner who can attest to the quality of the services provided. It is incumbent on the offeror to ensure this information is current and accurate.

B.PAST PERFORMANCE – Weight - Acceptable / Non Acceptable

It includes the offeror’s overall quality of past performance, record of conforming to contract requirements and to standards of good workmanship; the offeror’s adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; the responsiveness of management; the offeror’s history of reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; including the offeror’s business-like concern for the interest of the customer, and the offeror’s overall performance on their contracts. Evidence of a history of successful past performance as a team will be considered an asset for any joint ventures and subcontracting arrangements.

Past performance will be evaluated by analysis of information provided as requested under Prior Experience (above), as well as information obtained through interviews with the offeror’s customers and/or the building's owner or a representative of the owner. For any subcontractor playing a significant role in the performance of this contract, the offeror should also submit relevant contact information for the customer and building owner who can attest to the level of acceptability of the services provided. The Government will determine whether the past performance of managers, key personnel, subcontractors or other partners offsets the risk of doing business with a prime contractor or joint venture that has no or limited past performance of its own on similar projects.

In addition to those references provided directly by the offeror, the Contracting Officer may identify and analyze the past performance of the offeror on any other contract on which they have performed within the past seven (7) years of which the Contracting Officer has knowledge or obtains knowledge. Because of the wide variety of past performance history of individual offerors, the Government is not required to ensure that an equal number of references be obtained for each offeror.

References from customers and/or the building's owner or a representative of the owner indicating “outstanding” or “excellent”, especially in long term contract agreements of a similar nature, will be considered.
