Textile Collection Conservation Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park

Eugene O’Neill National Historic Site

A. General Considerations. For the purpose of this evaluation, the quotations will be evaluated under three areas of consideration: technical approach, past performance, and price. In addition to the evaluation of the quotations for award determination, the

Government may consider your experience and past performance data obtained from other sources.

B. Basis for Award. Award will be made on the basis of "best value," to the contractor that the Government determines can best satisfy the objectives and requirements of this

Request for Quotations, in a manner most advantageous to the Government. The documentation that is submitted by each contractor in response to the instructions for preparing the quotation will receive a thorough evaluation. Contractors must convey to the Government that they are able to accomplish the work in a coordinated and timely fashion, such that all the requirements will be achieved.

C. Evaluation Criteria. The following paragraphs identify the criteria. When combined, Techncial and Past Performance rated equally to price. A rating of "unacceptable" for any criteria may eliminate the quotation from further consideration, regardless of rating for any other criteria.

1. Price.

2. Technical

a. Contractor’s ability to meet the technical specifications called for in the solicitation.

b. Contractor’s proposed schedule to complete the work as noted in the statement of work.

c. Contractor’s professional-level experience in conducting collection condition surveys, including, but not limited to, a college diploma in a related discipline; and/or certificate from an accredited program.

d. A minimum of five (5) years experience with conserving textile-based objects.

e. A minimum of three (3) years experience with writing/editing technical object conservation reports.

3. Past performance

Past performance of the offeror and/or its proposed subcontractors on projects similar in scope and complexity to this project. This includes the offeror’s and/or its proposed subcontractors past performance in providing services of similar scope and complexity to this requirement. Offerors demonstrating a higher level of successful past performance in the evaluated areas will be more favorably rated. 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.

D. Selection Procedures. The significant features of the selection process are:

1. The Government will evaluate quotations to determine cost realism. Cost realism relates to a contractor demonstrating that the proposed cost/price provides an adequate reflection of its understanding of the requirements of this request for quotation.

2. The Government will evaluate the quotations against the specified evaluation criteria.
