SECTION M - Evaluation Factors for Award

AWARD DETERMINATION

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government will determine best overall value on the basis of the factors described below.

Evaluation of Quotes

Quotes will be evaluated on the basis that the technical factors are listed in descending order of importance. When combined, all technical evaluation factors are approximately equal to price.

Each offeror will be evaluated on their performance under existing and prior contracts of a similar nature. The Government will focus on information that demonstrates quality of performance relative to the size and complexity of the procurement under consideration. The Government may research offeror performance on any federal, state, local, and commercial contract performance of the offeror that is known to the Government, but not included on the submitted by the Contractor. Additionally, personal experience and evaluator knowledge of offeror performance may be utilized.

1. Relevant Past Performance

1. Janitorial experience

1. quality of workmanship,

1. timeliness, and

1. reliability.

1. Designated BioPreferred Items

(a) Identification of all biobased products to be acquired, used, and installed in the performance of operations, maintenance, and construction;

1. Identification of past biobased contracts performed using biobased products, dollar amount, and experience with the product(s).

1. Price

The degree of importance of the price will increase with the degree of equality of the quotes in relation to the other factors on which selection is to be based, or when the price is so significantly high as to diminish the value of the technical superiority to the Government.

An exceeds rating would be achieved if quoter has completed projects of similar size and complexity as this project within the last 3 years and if the quality of work on all projects was rated highly by all customers contacted. Less than 3 notices of non-compliance/work orders in any past project is a minimum for consideration; 3 or more notices of non-compliance/work orders will result in an unacceptable rating.

Quoters with no record of past performance, i.e. newly formed businesses, will receive a neutral rating for past performance but should include the resume of the owner showing their experiences.

52.217-3 Evaluation Exclusive of Options. (APR 1984)

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by including only the price for the basic requirement; i.e., options will not be included in the evaluation for award purposes.
