Step 5: Conduct price fair and reasonableness on the awardee pursuant to para. D.3.

below.

1. Past Performance Evaluation

• Performance will be evaluated as a measure of Offeror’s ability to successfully perform based on concurrent contract efforts. The Government will assign a rating of acceptable or unacceptable as defined below.

Rating Definition Acceptable Successfully completing concurrent work across the four disciplines identified within Attachment 4.

Unacceptable Not performing or unsuccessfully performing concurrent work across the four disciplines identified within Attachment 4 or the Government was unable to verify the information with the listed reference.

• Past performance references must be recent as defined as occurring within the last 3 years.

• The technical approaches will be comparatively ranked amongst eligible offers based upon identified weaknesses, deficiencies, and/or non-compliance. The technical approach shall include:

i. Offerors shall submit a Continuation of Mission Essential Contractor

Services Plan (Mission Essential Plan) for the contractor-provided grounds maintenance services to continue during a crisis. The Mission Essential Plan shall become a part of the contract and must comply with DFARS 252.237-7024.

3. Price Evaluation

• In determining the Offeror's total proposed price, the Government will multiply the maximum quantities identified in the Bid Schedule, Attachment 1, by the unit price, limited to two decimal places for each line item, to confirm the extended total amount for each line item. The sum of all extended amounts for each year of the ordering period will be entered in the summary, page 1 of the Bid Schedule. The total of five years of the ordering period will be the Offeror's total proposed price.

• In order to meet the requirements of FAR Parts 6 and 17, the Government will evaluate the option to extend services under FAR Clause 52.217-8 by adding one-half of the Offeror's final year of the five-year ordering period prices to the Offeror's total proposed price. This will represent the ceiling price should FAR 52.217-8 be utilized. Offerors are required only to price the five years of the ordering period. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential six-month extension of services period.

• The offeror must provide a third-party payment fee for each year within

Attachment 1, Bid Schedule. This fee will be evaluated for price fair and reasonableness. If this fee cannot be determined fair and reasonable or the offeror fails to input a percentage, the offer may not be eligible for award.

• In the evaluation of pricing, the Government may conduct price realism on the fully burdened rates.

4. Best Value Decision:

• Quotes shall be evaluated based upon best value to the Government considering acceptable past performance, technical comparative ranking, and price. The Government reserves the right to award to a higher priced, higher technical rated offeror based upon the best value determination.
