Similar Project Experience: Provide a brief narrative summarizing your firm’s relevant experience as a prime or subcontractor. Include years of experience, key skills, and licensing or certifications of personnel proposed for the project (See Attachment 2 Project Specifications for licensing requirements). Provide the same information for any subcontractors.

Technical Approach: Submit a short narrative describing your approach to completing the work, sequence of activities.

PAST PERFORMANCE:

Submit a list of relevant prior work the contractor has performed within the past six (6) years along with contact information so the government may contact prior customers to evaluate past performance. If you will be utilizing subcontractor(s), provide the same information for them.

Information should include the project name, location, description of the work, dollar value and name/phone/email of project owner representative. Attachment 9 to this solicitation is a Past Performance Form that is optional for use.

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

The Government will evaluate quotations based on the lowest price technically acceptable criteria.

Only the lowest priced offer will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. Should the lowest priced offer not receive an acceptable technical or past performance rating, the process will continue in order of lowest priced offer until the lowest price, technically acceptable offer with acceptable or neutral past performance is identified.
