EVALUATION CRITERIA

Recycle Scrap Metal

Contract Award:

The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

CLAUSE 52.212-2 Evaluation -- Commercial Items

Offeror shall submit no more than ten (10) single sided pages demonstrating their understanding of the requirement which shall include all aspects of the jobs as described in Attachment IV – Statement of Work.

FACTOR A: TECHNICAL – APPROACH AND MANAGEMENT

The offeror shall provide a detailed technical approach to complete the tasks and requirements identified in the attached Statement of Work, and Guidelines for OFPM Contractors. The technical proposal must include information on how the projects sequence of operations is to be organized, staffed, and managed. Information must be provided which will demonstrate the offeror's understanding and management of important events or tasks. The offeror must explain how the management and coordination of consultant and/or subcontractor efforts will be accomplished, if applicable.

FACTOR B: TECHNICAL – QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN

FACTOR C: PAST PERFORMANCE-

The Offer shall provide the past performance questionnaire on projects similar in size and scope to the statement of work. Evaluation of this factor will be based on information contained in the proposal and information provided by references. The Government will evaluate past performance by contacting appropriate references, including NIST references; if applicable. The Government may also consider other information available. 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 be evaluated neither favorably nor unfavorably.

PRICE

The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to make a price reasonableness determination.

Offerors must submit the following information in their price proposal:

The offeror shall submit the percentage that NIST shall receive based on the verifiable current market value for each type of scrap metal AFTER direct costs and indirect costs have been applied. For comingled scrap metal, a percentage rate shall also be submitted.

PROCEEDS PAID TO NIST =

[(Weight of scrap metal x Current Market Value) – Offeror’s Direct and Indirect Costs] x (percentage received by NIST)

DIRECT & INDIRECT COSTS include: container rental, hauling fee, labor, general & administrative cost (G&A).

Container rental and hauling fee shall be a set fee over the duration of the contract, unless otherwise agreed upon through a modification.

If there are other direct/indirect costs not indicated above that the offeror determines is applicable, the offeror shall list them in the bid schedule. The Government will determine if the costs are allowable prior to award.
