Complete Funding

(b) For item(s) identified in paragraph (a) as not fully funded, the Contractor agrees to perform up to the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including reimbursement of authorized termination costs in the event of termination of those item(s) for the Government’s convenience, does not exceed the total amount currently allotted to the items not fully funded under the contract. The Contractor is not authorized to continue work on those item(s) beyond

The total amount payable by the Government in the event of such termination of those contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) above includes costs, profit, and estimated/negotiated termination settlement costs for those item(s). The Government will not be obligated in any event to reimburse the Contractor in excess of the amount allotted to the line items of the contract regardless of anything to the contrary in any other clause, such as the clause entitled “Termination for Convenience of the Government” or paragraph (l) entitled

“Termination for the Government’s Convenience” of the clause at FAR 52.212-4, “Commercial

Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items.”

(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (i) of this requirement, the Contractor will notify the Contracting

Officer in writing at least __thirty__ days prior to the date when, in the Contractor’s best judgment, the work will reach the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including any cost for termination for convenience, will approximate 85 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract for performance of the applicable item(s). The notification will state (1) the estimated date when that point will be reached and (2) an estimate of additional funding, if any, needed to continue performance. The notification will also advise the

Contracting Officer of the estimated amount of additional funds that will be required for the timely performance of the item(s) funded pursuant to this contract. If after such notification additional funds are not allotted by the date identified in the Contractor’s notification, or by an agreed substitute date, the Contracting Officer will terminate any item(s) for which additional funds have not been allotted, pursuant to the clause of this contract authorizing termination for the convenience of the government, such as the clause entitled “Termination for Convenience of the Government” or paragraph (l) entitled “Termination for the Government’s Convenience” of the clause at FAR 52.212-4, “Commercial Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items.”

(d) When additional funds are allotted for continued performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a), the parties will agree as to the period of contract performance which will be covered by the funds. The provisions of paragraphs (b) through (d) will apply in like manner to the additional allotted funds and agreed substitute date, and the contract will be modified accordingly.

(e) The Government may at any time prior to termination allot additional funds for the performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a).

(f) The termination provisions of paragraphs (a) through (i) do not limit the rights of the

Government under the clause entitled “Default” or “Termination for Cause.” The provisions of this clause are limited to the work and allotment of funds for the contract line item(s) set forth in paragraph (a). This clause no longer applies once the contract is fully funded.

(g) Nothing in this clause affects the right of the Government to terminate this contract pursuant to the clause of this contract entitled “Termination for Convenience of the Government” or paragraph (l) entitled “Termination for the Government’s Convenience” of the clause at FAR

52.212-4, “Commercial Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items.”

In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(2) Examples.

(i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek

Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159.

The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

(iv) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy

Code).

(ii) The Offeror has [_] has not [_], within a three-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency.

(2) “Principal,” for the purposes of this certification, means an officer; director; owner;

partner; or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a division or business segment; and similar positions).

This Certification Concerns a Matter Within the Jurisdiction of an Agency of the

United States and the Making of a False, Fictitious, or Fraudulent Certification May

Render the Maker Subject to Prosecution Under Section 1001, Title 18, United States

Code.

(b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

(c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Offeror’s responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror nonresponsible.

(d) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph

(a) of this provision. The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

(e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the

Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for default.

EVALUATION

The Government intends to award one contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation is the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable

(LPTA) Offer. The evaluation and award procedures in FAR 13.106 apply. Technically acceptable is defined as the offeror’s ability to meet all the requirements identified in the PWS and offeror’s demonstrated ability to perform the contract successfully through Past

Performance. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (1) Technical Capability, (2)

Past Performance, and (3) Price.

Factor #1: Technical Capability (Pass/Fail) - The Offeror must be deemed technically acceptable in all the following sub-factors to receive a rating of Pass for Technical Capability:

a) The Government will evaluate the offeror’s ability to meet all the requirements identified in the PWS. Technical capability will be rated to the extent the Offeror can clearly and fully demonstrate that it has a thorough understanding of the requirements and can successfully meet the requirements. (Pass or Fail)

b) The offeror must demonstrate similar experience as required by the PWS in performing waste water treatment plant operation services. Vendor should demonstrate they have a minimum of five (5) years ongoing corporate experience/management capability, not individual, in performing waste water treatment plant operation services. An offeror will be rated as a Pass, if it demonstrates their company meets these requirements. The offeror will be evaluated as No Pass if they did not demonstrate these criteria. (Pass or Fail)

c) The Contractor’s capability to meet the licensing and certification required by the state of California. (Pass or Fail)

Factor #2: Satisfactory Past Performance (Pass/Fail) - For an offer to be eligible for award, it must have either a Satisfactory or neutral past performance. Offers with negative past performance information from any source may not be considered for award. Lack of relevant and recent past performance information and any PPQs not received from references submitted by the Offeror shall be rated as a “Neutral.” When performance is evaluated, the outcome is either

Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory. Unsatisfactory performance will disqualify an Offeror from award. Satisfactory or neutrally rated past performance will be rated as Pass.

U.S. Coast Guard Training Center Petaluma, CA

The Government may utilize any references provided by the Contractor, along with information available from past contracts/orders with the USCG and any information found using sources such as Federal Government sources, Past Performance Information Retrieval System

(PPIRS)/Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to determine if the

Contractor has acceptable or neutral Past Performance. The Government reserves the right to limit or expand the number of references it decides to contact and to contact references other than those provided by the offeror.

Factor #3: Price - The Government will evaluate the offer for award purposes by adding the total price for all years (base year and four option years). The Government will evaluate the offer for price reasonableness. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options does not obligate the

Government to exercise them. Any quantity price discounts and discounts for prompt payment should be included in this section.

The Government intends to select one contractor for this acquisition. However, the Government reserves the right not to award a contract at all, depending on the quality of the proposals and prices submitted and the availability of funds.

The Government will evaluate proposals based on the LPTA criteria. Only the lowest priced offer will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability and Past Performance. Should the lowest priced offer not receive an acceptable technical or past performance rating, the process will continue in order of lowest priced offer until the LPTA offer with acceptable or neutral past performance is identified.

Rejection of Unreasonable Offers: The Government may reject any quotation that is evaluated to be unreasonable in terms of program commitments, including contract terms and conditions, or unreasonably high or low in cost when compared to Government estimates, such that the quotation is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the program.

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.
