The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Technical Approach / Work Plan

2. Experience and Past Performance

3. Price

Technical and past performance, when combined, are more important than price.

Factor 1: TECHNICAL APPROACH / Work Plan The technical approach evaluation shall be conducted to determine how well each offeror’s proposal meets the requirements delineated in the Performance Work Statement and the offeror’s ability to clearly and thoroughly demonstrate their capabilities to efficiently perform mechanical fuel reduction mowing services.

In two pages or less, include the following:

• What is your businesses background/type and purpose?

• What is your work plan for this project? Please include guaranteed start date.

• What equipment do you plan to use for this project? Include make, model, and year of equipment to be used on the job site.

• What supplies will you provide to do this work?

• Who will be performing the work? Include names and a brief resume for each. Identify responsibilities.

Factor 2: EXPERIENCE AND PAST PERFORMANCE Experience shall be evaluated based on the quantity and similarity of past project experience in mechanical fuel reduction mowing services.

Past performance shall be evaluated from past performance submitted by the offeror and questionnaires received and will be based on the technical expertise, cost control, quality of work and compliance with performance schedules of similar work with Government agencies and private industry.

In addition to responses received the Government reserves the right to consider information obtained from any other sources such as the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) when evaluating the offeror’s past performance.

In accordance with FAR 15.305, in the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably in this area, but instead will receive a neutral rating in the area of past performance.

Any derogatory past performance information obtained will be presented to the effected offeror, allowing that offeror an opportunity to respond with mitigating facts. Proposals receiving unsatisfactory and marginal ratings may be eliminated from further consideration.

Factor 3: PRICE The prices proposed on mowing services shall be the maximum price. Firms are encouraged to submit best and final pricing.

The award price shall include all pricing to perform the mechanical work mowing services.

Award will be based on Best Value. Non-cost evaluation factors such as compliance with solicitation requirements, management capability, personnel qualifications, prior experience performing this type of work and past performance will have a bearing on selection.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and make award without discussions.

(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.
