FACTOR 3-PRICE:

Offeror’s price shall represent the best price in response to the request for quotes.

The price shall be evaluated to determine fairness and reasonableness. The contracting officer will also calculate the foreseeable cost of transporting the

USCGC SEA LION (WPB-87352) to offeror’s commercial shipyard. Foreseeable costs will be calculated for the purpose of price evaluation only.

**The Technical Capabilities and Past Performance, when combined, are more important than Price**

Award may be made without any type of discussions or negotiations. This is based on the Contracting Officer’s determination after an evaluation has been completed on all offers.

(a) Prior to a contract being awarded a Pre-Award Survey will be conducted by the appointed Contracting Officer Representative. The survey is used as an indication if a contractor has the qualifications to do the work and that the contractor’s facilities are certified under US Coast Guard specifications.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The

Government may 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.
