CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV

2021)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

The Government will award a contract to the lowest priced quote that conforms to the requirement of the solicitation. Proposals will be evaluated for conformance. In order for an Offeror to be considered for award, the proposal must receive an "Successful" rating. A proposal receiving a rating of "Unsuccessful" will not be eligible for award.

FACTOR 1 - CAPABILITY (SUCCESSFUL/UNSUCCESSFUL)

Offerors shall be evaluated on an (successful/unsuccessful) basis.

a) To be determined successful, the contractor shall submit documentation that clearly demonstrates that they have the capability to provide and install the products as specified in the scope of work.

b) Offerors shall include in the quote a plan of action to perform the install of the grinder pumps in accordance with the statement of work.

c) Offerors shall provide a detailed and itemized quote with the specification sheet for each pump and all other products being offered.

FACTOR 2 PAST PERFORMANCE (SATISFACTORY/UNSATISFACTORY)

To demonstrate past performance, the Offeror shall provide documentation of satisfactory performance on two (2) past or current contracts of a similar type, size, scope, and complexity, performed within the last five (5) years. The Offeror is cautioned that while the government may consider data from other sources, the burden of demonstrating satisfactory past performance rests with the Offeror. Satisfactory past performance is defined as completion of the required work in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable contract. 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 as neutral on past performance, providing the offeror supplies a certified statement with their offer that no past performance information is available. For the purposes of this evaluation, neutral past performance is equal to satisfactory past performance.

Offerors shall provide contracts that are relevant and recent.

Relevant:

Relevant contracts are similar requirements that demonstrates a record of providing towboat services similar to those required in this Solicitation to commercial/industrial clients and/or federal, state, municipal government agency clients. Past performance submittals shall include the point of contact name, telephone number, and email address for each contract included in the past performance submission.

Recent:

Contracts that are recent are defined as those that have been completed within the last five (5) years of the solicitation issue date. Offerors are cautioned to select relevant contracts for review that accurately reflect the Offeror's past performance capabilities. Please note that if the Offeror chooses to provide more than two (2) contracts, the government will evaluate only the first TWO (2) contracts submitted under this evaluation factor. Any additional contracts submitted beyond the TWO (2) requested will NOT be evaluated. Offerors shall include relevant past performance history.

NOTE: Past Performance shall be contracts held by the prime offeror or major subcontractors.

A major Subcontractor is defined as a Subcontractor responsible for 25% of more of the performance required.

The government's approach to evaluating past performance is to check the references provided by the contractor to verify past performance as well as data obtained from other sources available i.e. government database, past contract files, etc. The offeror is cautioned that while the government will consider data from other sources, the burden of demonstrating past performance rests with the offeror.

FACTOR 3 PRICE

The total quoted price will be determined by a summation of the quoted pricing of each line item listed in section B of this solicitation. Quotes will be examined to determine the extent to which quoted prices are comparable with the government estimates, previous procurement history, and a determination made of Price Reasonableness.

Option Contracts: Pricing shall be provided for the base year and each option year to include the hourly rates and total pricing amounts.

(b) Options. The government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the government to exercise the option(s).

Award:

It is incumbent upon the offeror to submit sufficient documentation and information for the government to determine their capability, satisfactory past performance, and the quoted pricing.

Failure to submit sufficient information for the government to determine the capability of the offeror, satisfactory past performance, and price may be cause for rejection of your quote.

Award will be made to the contractor whose price is the lowest of all offers determined to be successful with satisfactory past performance. The government will evaluate the capability of the lowest priced offer with satisfactory past performance. If the lowest priced offer with satisfactory past performance is determined to be unsuccessful, the next lowest offer with satisfactory past performance will be evaluated until a successful offer is identified.

NOTE: All quotes must be valid for 60 days.

Clearly describe the Work to be Performed by Prime Personnel and/or Similarly Situated Entities:

Show Calculation of the Cost of Contract Performance Incurred for Personnel:

1. Total cost of contract = $

2. Total cost of performance by Prime and it’s similarly saturated entities = $

3. Percentage of Contract Performance Incurred by Prime Personnel and/or Similarly Situated Entities = (Line 1 / Line 2) X 100 = %

8. SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS (IF APPLICABLE)

1) RFO provision 52.229-11 and RFO clause 52.229-12

RFO provision 52.229-11 and RFO clause 52.229-12 are included in this solicitation. This provision and clause concern the imposition of a 2 percent Federal excise tax withholding on any resultant contract award or payment request. This rule applies to Federal Government contracts for goods or services that are awarded to foreign persons – such as foreign contractors. It implements the Department of the Treasury’s final regulations published in the Federal Register at 81 FR 55133 on August 18, 2016, under section 5000C of the Internal Revenue Code relating to the 2 percent tax on payments made by the U.S.

Government to foreign persons pursuant to certain contracts.

Pursuant to the RFO 52.229-3 Federal, State, and Local Taxes, taxes imposed under 26 U.S.C. 5000 C may not be included in the contract price or reimbursed.

Exemptions from this excise tax must be claimed by an Offeror when it submits, with its offer, a U.S.

Department of Treasury Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-14, Certificate of Foreign Contracting Party Receiving Federal Procurement Payments, available via the internet at www.irs.gov/W14. If not submitted with the offer, exemptions will not be applied to any resulting contract and the Government will withhold a full 2 percent on each contract payment. Failure to submit an IRS Form W-14 with each payment request will also result in an automatic withholding of 2 percent from the payment request.

When filling out the IRS Form W-14 the following information may be used to complete Part I, Lines 6 and 7.

Line 6 Contract/reference number: [enter solicitation number]

Line 7 “Name and address of the acquiring agency”: USACE Vicksburg District (MVK) Contracting Office, 4155 Clay Street, Vicksburg, MS 39183

Any exemption claimed and self-certified is subject to audit by the IRS. Any disputes concerning this tax are adjudicated by the IRS because the Section 5000C tax is a tax matter not a contract issue.

Offerors are encouraged to seek guidance from their own tax professionals for advice concerning the provision, clause, and exclusions exclusion/submission of IRS Form W-14. Additional information is also available at:

Notwithstanding the above, the USACE does not have a means of withholding this excise tax at this time.

As a result, contractors are expected to comply with the instructions above and to properly complete and return the W-14 at proposal submission, and with each pay application. Whether the contractor sets the money aside for future payment to the IRS, or makes payment to the IRS, is the contractor’s discretion, based on its analysis of the regulations regarding the excise tax. In the event that USACE is able to withhold during contract performance, it will notify the contractor and make such a withholding (including any catch up withholdings); no advance notice is required to the contractor prior to the withholding. Under no circumstances is USACE liable for any tax not paid by the contractor. The contractor is liable for the tax, to the extent required by law, regardless of whether USACE makes a withholding.

RFO 29.204 expressly states that “[a]gencies merely withhold the tax (section 5000C tax) for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). All substantive issues regarding the underlying section 5000C tax, e.g., the imposition of, and exemption from the tax, are matters under the jurisdiction of the IRS.” Therefore, we cannot help you determine how the tax law applies to you. We strongly recommend that you contact the IRS and/or a tax professional should you have any questions of this nature. To be clear, this information does not constitute tax advice or a representation of your tax liability. Furnishing this information does not create liability for the USACE for any Federal, state, or local taxes applicable to the above-referenced contract or any other contract.

For submission requirements and basis of evaluation:

Executed RFO Provision 52.229-11.

Completed IRS Form W-14, Certificate of Foreign Contracting Party Receiving Federal Procurement Payments, if applicable. If not submitted with the offer, exemptions will not be applied to any resulting contract and the Government will withhold a full 2 percent on each payment.
