M.3.5 FACTOR 3 - Price:

Refer to Section L for proposal preparation instructions. Provide your most competitive price. Note: unit price prevails; all pricing should be in the format of dollars and cents.

Provide an outline of how prices in the schedule of items (Section B) were established; overhead and profit included in labor rate; and formula of how Offeror intends to apply profit and overhead rates.

Cost/price is of less importance than technical and past performance evaluation criteria; however, the importance of cost may become greater as the difference between technical proposals decrease. Where technical proposals are determined to be substantially equal, cost may control award.

M.3.6 Evaluation Criteria PRICE:

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).

This criterion will include consideration of cost information provided to support item prices entered in Section B, Schedule of Items. It is the Government's intent to assess the price/cost breakdown to determine (1) reasonableness, (2) and offeror's understanding of the work.
