EVALUATION CRITERIA:

TECHNICAL PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

General Proposals shall be submitted in two parts: a technical proposal and a price proposal. Each part shall be separate and complete in itself so that evaluation of one may be accomplished independently of the other. The price proposal shall be submitted with the solicitation forms.

Offerors are cautioned that sufficient and detailed information must be presented in their proposals to enable the Government to evaluate their proposals fully in accordance with the evaluation and award criteria contained herein. The Government is not obligated to ask for additional information and in the absence of appropriate information, the proposal will be rated deficient.

Price Proposal A completed schedule of items with pricing information completes this requirement.

Technical Proposal Offerors shall submit technical information for their firm and any proposed major subcontractors. Please submit your past performance with the technical information. Also, the offeror shall submit information that illustrates a technical understanding of the work to be performed.

1) Relevant Past Performance:

Relevant Past Performance shall be obtained from previous work with the Federal Government and utilized for evaluation on this contract. Please provide at least 3 past performances with references.

2) Technical Approach:

All offerors should show a high level of understanding of the work to be performed. This can be accomplished by submitting with the proposal the following information:

1. Description of how the work will be performed

2. Schedule (accomplishing work while meeting weather conditions)

3. Key Personnel

4. List of equipment to be used

3) Experience/Qualification:

The Offeror will be evaluated on the experience and qualifications of their company and personnel.

12363N26Q4220 TX NFGT Angelina Road and Culvert Maintenance Page 6 of 45

Technical Evaluation Criteria Technical proposals will be evaluated and rated by a Technical Evaluation Panel. Proposals shall be prepared in accordance with the proposal preparation instructions. The Government intends to evaluate quotations using a comparative evaluation methodology. This means quotations will be compared against one another to determine which provides the best value to the Government, based on the evaluation factors outlined in this solicitation.

The Government may consider quotations that exceed minimum requirements and offer additional value or benefits, even if they are not the lowest priced.

1) Relevant Past Performance:

a) Relevant Past Performance shall be provided and utilized for evaluation on this contract.

• Name of contract

• Contract number

• Total contract value

• Completion date, or stage of completion if still in progress

• Project owner's name, email address, and telephone number

• Specific type of work, project location, size, etc.

• Whether the project was completed within the contract timeframe

• What the exam quality was, and if there was any work that received less than full pay or any penalties and the extent of rework conducted.

• Reference for the contract

2) Technical Approach:

b) Understanding of Proposed Work: Offeror demonstrates a technical understanding of the proposed work including but not limited to preliminary scheduling, equipment requirements, site conditions and location, project challenges, and material requirements.

3) Experience/Qualification:

Evaluates the company’s history, background, and ability to perform work of similar size, scope, and complexity. Specialized work and accomplishments relative to the scope of work.

4) Acceptability:

An offeror’s documented response to the solicitation will not be deemed acceptable, if not received by the specified closing date and time, and the submitted proposal not clearly demonstrate the offerors understanding the needed work. In such cases the offeror will be viewed as having “failed” this criterion and will not be considered for award.

5) Cost or Price:

Each acceptable offer will be evaluated for reasonableness of proposal price. This criterion will include consideration of cost information provided. It is the Government's intent to assess the unit prices to determine reasonableness and offeror's understanding of the work and ability to perform the contract.

The importance of price may become greater as the differences between technical proposals decrease.

Where technical proposals are determined to be substantially equal, price may control award.

(b) Award. 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.

Provisions

Evaluation and Basis for Award

The provision at FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services is not applicable to this solicitation. In lieu of this provision, quotes will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 12.203 based on the criteria listed below. Award will be made to the offeror representing the best value to the Government.

Technical Approach:

The technical approach will evaluate the ability of the offeror to provide a sound and compliant approach that meets all requirements and shows a thorough understanding of them. It is the contractor's responsibility to ensure their quotation clearly demonstrates their capability to meet these requirements. All offerors must provide the following minimum information and documentation with their quotations to be considered responsive and have their offers evaluated:

• Ability of the offeror to meet the schedule requirements listed in the Statement of Work

(SOW).

• Detailed explanation of any requirement listed in the SOW that cannot be successfully accomplished by the offeror.

Price:

The offeror shall provide pricing as requested in the Schedule of Items on page X of this Request for Quote. Failure to propose pricing for all individual line items may result in a quotation being excluded from further consideration. The offeror’s quotation will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 12.204, to determine if it is fair and reasonable.

Past Performance:

The Government may utilize any references provided by the Contractor, along with information available from past contracts/orders with the USDA and any information found using sources such as Federal Government sources or the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to determine if the Contractor has acceptable or neutral Past Performance. Past Performance will be evaluated using the following rating system:

• Acceptable: The contractor shows a demonstrated ability to meet contract requirements in prior or current contracts, including quality of work, timeliness, cost control, business relations, and adherence to contract terms.

• Neutral: Offeror does not have a past performance record.

• Unacceptable: The contractor has a documented history of failing to meet contract requirements, including poor quality, missed deadlines, cost overruns, lack of responsiveness, or unethical behavior.

Evaluation Method:

12363N26Q4220 TX NFGT Angelina Road and Culvert Maintenance Page 28 of 45

All quotations will be evaluated to identify the offeror presenting the most technically advantageous solution based on the stated evaluation criteria. Once the highest technically rated offeror is identified, their price will be evaluated to determine whether it is fair and reasonable. Past performance will also be assessed to ensure it is acceptable or neutral.

Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is determined to be the highest technically rated, provided that:

• The proposed price is fair and reasonable, and

• Past performance is assessed as acceptable or neutral.

Award will not necessarily be made to the lowest-priced offeror. Award will be made to the contractor that offers the best value to the government.
