Section M -- Evaluation Factors for award.

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be low-priced, technically acceptable (LPTA), price and other factors considered.

The proposal will be evaluated on the following Acceptable/Unacceptable criteria:

Prior experience:

Qualification of proposed staff:

All proposed key personnel must be qualified to successfully understand and execute the requirements specified in the RFP.

4.Can you please confirm what bid bond percentage is required for this bid?

The Base Notice and all change orders indicates a 20% bid bond and 100% performance bonds are needed with your proposal package.

5.Are there soil borings available? I do not see any in the specs or on the drawings. Please advise. The soil borings are needed to estimate the cost for setting the 100’ and 80’ sports lighting poles.

Reference the Geotechnical Engineering Report uploaded as an attachment in the solicitation on FedBizOps.

6.We are interested in possible bidding the above referenced project, however I am in need of some clarifications and I hope you can help. We are not an approved synthetic turf vendor and I am wondering if we need or can get approved? If so, what would the process be? Also, can you please send me a link for the SAM database as we would need to get registered.

Synthetic turf must meet or exceed the characteristics defined in the bid specifications. Bidding contractors and the eventual awardee are permitted to submit substitutions for any product as long as it meets all of the requirements of the performance specification and there is a benefit to the substitution such as less cost, less lead time, more durable, etc. Interested Vendors may list themselves in the “Interested Vendors” area on the FBO.gov site so that bidders see them in conjunction with reaching out to the potential bidders to introduce themselves and their products.

Please contact the contracting officer directly for assistance with SAM registration.
