FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation--Commercial Items (JAN 1999)

(a) 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 following factors listed below shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Personnel Qualifications and Experience

2. Past Performance

3. Technical Approach/Quality Control Plan

4. Commitment to Recruiting, Training, and Hiring Local Residents

Technical approach, personnel qualifications, and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price.

(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.

Fully address these four evaluation criteria:

1. Personnel Qualifications and Experience: Provide a list of names of field supervisors complete with their formal training, educational background, and experience. Specify training and education the field supervisor has had in the identification of western Oregon area noxious weed species. Specify experience level of the on-the-ground personnel that the firm will provide. Provide evidence of all Oregon herbicide applicators licenses proposed to work on this contract.

2. Past Performance: Specify in detail the experience and past performance the firm has had in the area of noxious weed control on State, Federal, and private lands. Specify all projects completed in the last three (3) years. Provide an approximate size of projects (contracted amounts in dollars and acres), clients name, address, and phone number.

3. Technical Approach/Quality Control Plan (QCP): Describe in detail the methods you will use in control of noxious weeds. Specify knowledge of local noxious weed locations and treatment methods that the firm has used to gain successful noxious weed control. Specify the equipment to be used. Proved your QCP. The plan must demonstrate how you will assure that quality of performance meets the objectives and requirements of the contract (see page 18 of 147).

4. Commitment to Recruiting, Training, and Hiring Local Residents: Provide a narrative of your Hiring Plan to hire local residents, include your training program for locals. Include a narrative of how you will create economic benefits to the local communities (local subcontracting, purchasing supplies, lodging, etc).
