B.5 PRICING – ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Pricing Information: Quote a fully burdened rate for each line item for additional services when ordered, that is in addition to the base services specified under this contract. If ordered, the Contractor shall invoice for these items separately. These items are not funded with the base services awarded under this contract.

The additional services provision is to be used to satisfy the Government’s short-term non-recurring needs for service. Should a continuing need for additional service arise, a contract modification will be negotiated with both parties in agreement.

Additional follow-on hourly rates may be adjusted on the anniversary date using current wage determination.

Fully Burdened Rates: This Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) is established under the procedures in FAR 15. All quotes submitted shall include fully burdened labor rates to accomplish the tasks and any supplies and equipment required to perform the work. In addition, fully burdened rates are required to accomplish the tasks and any supplies and equipment required to perform additional services required by the IDIQ.

Monthly services: Monthly services will be awarded directly the base contract based on a monthly rate in accordance with the maintenance requirements specified in the PWS for each line item.

Additional services and Ancillary Minor Repair and Alteration (R& A) Services: All additional services to be furnished under this IDIQ shall be ordered through the issuance of task orders based on the hourly rates specified in each contract. Minor Repair and Alteration (R&A) Services shall be ordered as ancillary to the monthly services or additional services. The labor rates proposed under this contract for additional services and any services considered ancillary Repair and Alternation services shall be based on the labor categories included in the base monthly services. The additional services CLINs will be evaluated based on the labor rate proposed times the number of estimated hours for a total price. Award will be evaluated based on the aggregate price for the base monthly services only. The additional services will be evaluated for price reasonableness and to estimate the total contract dollar value only. Additional discounts are encouraged.

M.2.1.6 Evaluation Factor 5 6: Price

The price factor will be evaluated for price realism and reasonableness. Price will not be rated

The price factors will be evaluated for price realism and reasonableness. Price will not be rated;

however, to establish the total price proposed for the contract, the government will consider basic services, additional services, switchgear, subcontracted services, and profit/G&A.

M.3.3 Price: Evaluation Methodology

The Government will evaluate all cost proposals for price realism and reasonableness of the contractor’s quoted price submitted in response to the PWS to determine the overall best value. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment of unreasonably high prices. Therefore, an offer may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses and unacceptable risk to the government in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g). Submission of unrealistically low or high price proposals may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition. 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).

Pricing will be evaluated based on the annualized, aggregate of all prices: base monthly services, Profit and G/A, Switchgear, and Additional Services. The Additional Services will be evaluated for price reasonableness and to estimate the total contract dollar value. To establish the total price proposed for the contract, the government will consider basic services, additional services, switchgear, subcontracted services, and profit/G&A. Proposals for the base year and for the entire option periods will be compared against the Independent Government Estimate (IGE).

Additional discounts are encouraged.”

Q: Would the Government please clarify this apparent disparity between Paragraph B and the explanation given at the Site Visit Conference?

Please refer to the Amendment AM0004 posted via FBO on December 15, 2017.

Q: Is it the Governments intent that offerors will include an estimate (what they think it will cost) versus a price (what the Government will pay) for subcontracted Services?

The Government is requesting pricing for each subcontracted service that the offeror intends to subcontract out. Pricing will be evaluated for reasonableness, and used to calculate the total contract price.
