EVALUATION. In accordance with FAR 52.212-2, the Government will award an Fixed Priced contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Quoters whose Quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Quotes will be evaluated by lowest price technically acceptable evaluation of quotations in accordance with FAR Overhaul 12.203(C)(2). FAR Parts 14 and 15 are not being used. Award will be made on a lowest-priced, technically acceptable basis. Evaluation factors that establish the requirements of acceptability are specified in this plan and will be included in the solicitation.

Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable

When using the lowest price technically acceptable process, the following apply: The evaluation factors and significant subfactors that establish the requirements of acceptability shall be set forth in the solicitation. Solicitations shall specify that award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of quotes meeting the acceptability standards for non-cost factors.

After receiving all quotes, the CO will determine and document the lowest priced quote and then forward the lowest priced vendor’s technical information to the evaluation team. The technical evaluation team will evaluate the quote in an impartial manner to determine whether it meets the government’s minimum requirements as outlined in the solicitation.

All Quoters are advised that, in the interest of efficiency, the Government reserves the right to conduct the evaluation in the most effective manner. Specifically, the Government will first evaluate the total proposed price. The Government will evaluate the non-price factors of the lowest quote for that item. If the lowest priced Quoter’s quote is determined to be Acceptable, the Government will make award to that Quoter without further evaluation of the remaining quotes. If the lowest price quote is determined to be rated Unacceptable, then the Government will evaluate the next lowest price quote, and so forth and so on, until the Government reaches the lowest price quote that is determined to be rated as Acceptable.

If the lowest-priced offer/quote exceeds the aggregate funding set forth in this solicitation, the Contracting Officer may cancel the solicitation without evaluating price or making an acceptability determination. The Contracting Officer may find all quotes not acceptable and cancel the solicitation if the lowest-priced quote exceeds the amount of funding available for the procurement. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions at any time if determined by the Contracting Officer to be in the Government’s interest.

The quotes will be evaluated strictly in accordance with their written content. Quotes which merely restate the requirement, or state that the requirements will be met without providing supporting rationale are not sufficient. Quoters who fail to meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation, or the statement of work will be rated Unacceptable and thus, ineligible for award. A rating of unacceptable on one item will result in an Unacceptable rating overall.

Price: Price will be evaluated based on price analysis techniques that ensure prices are fair and reasonable. Price reasonableness will be based on competitive quotations or Quoters. Fair and reasonable price describes the price that a prudent businessperson would pay for services under competitive market conditions, given a reasonable knowledge of the marketplace. Quoters will submit a pricing schedule utilizing Attachment B. Specifically, the Government will first evaluate the total proposed price. Whenever possible, price reasonableness will be based on competitive quotes.

Unbalanced refers to a situation where a Quoters places unreasonably high values on certain items and an unreasonable low value on others within a unit price contract. An unbalanced Quote may be rejected if it raises concerns about the overall cost effectiveness of the Quote, as it could lead to the Government paying unreasonably high prices for contract performance.

Before the quote's specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

1. Non-price Factor Evaluation Approach: The evaluation process will consider the extent to which the quote demonstrates a clear understanding of the non-price factors involved in meeting the solicitation requirements, and whether the Quoter can effectively manage the Statement of Work and defined and satisfied the requirements in the solicitation.

Factor A: Technical Approach and Understanding of the Work: Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings:

Offer shall be evaluated in accordance with the criteria contained in the Statement of Work and on how well the technical approach meets the Government requirements. Technical approaches will be evaluated for the following:

1. The vendor’s quote shall be in accordance with the Grounds Maintenance procedures described in SOW Tree Removal Togus National Cemetery for Section A.4.1 -A.4.6. The contractor’s capability statement demonstrates how it will meet the technical requirement listed under the technical approach in accordance with the procedures described in the SOW for Section A.4.1 -A.4.6.

2. The Quoter has provided a resume for a technically acceptable “Site Manager” who is an ISA certified Arborist and meets the other criteria described in the SOW section A.4.1.

3. If Quoter intends to satisfy this requirement through use of a proposed subcontractor(s), Quoter must provide this information for each proposed subcontractor and must identify what work will be performed by each proposed subcontractor and what work will be performed by Quoter. If no subcontractor(s) are identified, it will be inferred that the requirement will be completed by Quoter’s personnel (in-house employees).

To confirm eligibility for contract award, CO shall conduct responsibility determinations of offers/quotes in accordance with FAR 9.104-1. Per FAR 9.104-1(c) to be determined responsible, offeror/quoters must have a satisfactory performance record. However, a prospective contractor shall not be determined responsible or non-responsible based solely on a lack of relevant performance history.

(End of provision)

POST AWARD CONFERENCE: A virtual post-award conference will be scheduled by the Contracting Officer to discuss the requirements with the Awardee and all other stakeholders.
