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:

Factor 1: Technical Capability Factor 2: Price

Technical capability will be evaluated based on an evaluation of Technical Capability Factors set forth below; the factors will be rated as Acceptable or Unacceptable.

Acceptable is defined as the quote meets the following minimum requirements:

Technical Subfactor 1 – Pool Chlorination testing/balance - Contractor shall develop a standardized checklist for all maintenance inspections to account for chemical readings and materials used. The proposed checklist must be IAW PWS paragraph 1.2-Chemical Testing, 1.3-Maintain Healthy Water Balance, and 1.4- Repairs

Technical Subfactor 2 - Response to emergency calls - Contractor clearly identifies their ability to respond to routine and emergency calls IAW PWS paragraphs 1.1.3.1-Routine Service Calls and 1.1.3.2-Emergency Service Calls.

Technical Subfactor 3 - Qualified Technicians - All work will be performed by qualified technicians specifically certified/trained to work on all PAFB pool chlorination systems, IAW PWS paragraph 4.3.3-Permits, Licenses, and Certifications.

(b) AWARD PROCESS: The Government will first evaluate all quotations on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. Acceptable quotes will then be ranked according to price.

The lowest priced offeror, with a fair and reasonable price, who is technically acceptable will receive the award. The award will be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offerors.

The order is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer.
