A proposal that is sufficiently documented to support technical capability and price in a complete, orderly, and specific detailed manner will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation. Compliance with the instructions and solicitation is mandatory. Failure to comply may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation and render the proposal ineligible for award.

2.0 Information Regarding Submission Requirements. Documents submitted in response to this solicitation must comply with requirements of the solicitation and Performance Work Statement (PWS).

To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein; all the requirements specified in this solicitation are mandatory. Offerors are representing that your firm will perform all the requirements specified in the solicitation by submitting your proposal. Offerors are required to meet all mailto:jose.a.farias@us.af.mil https://www.fbo.gov/ https://www.fbo.gov/ solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, and representations and certifications, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or sub factors. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

If page limitations are exceeded, excess pages will not be read nor considered in the evaluation of the proposal. A page is defined as each face of an 8.5 x 11-inch sheet of paper containing information.

All information except for document numbers, page number, etc., shall be provided in an image area with no less than one inch in margin. Two pages may be printed back-to-back on one sheet of paper.

The maximum number of pages for each volume is listed below. Price information shall be limited to Volume I. Excess pages will not be evaluated, but will be retained in the file. See table below for specific number of copies required and pages for each of the Volumes.

4.5 Binding and Labeling. Each volume (Contracting & Pricing, Technical) of the proposal will be bound separately, with each volume in a standard loose-leaf three-ring binder. Each volume shall be written on a stand-alone basis so that its contents may be evaluated on a stand-alone basis. Cross Referencing between volumes is not permitted. Information required for proposal evaluation which is not found in its designated volume will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal. Cross-referencing within a proposal volume is permitted. Elaborate format and binding are neither necessary nor desirable. The cover and spine of each binder will clearly identify the Offeror's name, volume number, Request for Proposal (RFP) number "FA3089-15-R-0002", RFP title "JBSA- LACKLAND Bus Service", and copy number, e.g., copy 2 of 2.

In the event of discrepancies between hard copies and electronic copies of a proposal, the hard copies will be used for evaluation.

4.7 Proposal Clarity. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation of the Offeror’s capabilities and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The Offeror’s proposal shall not simply rephrase, reiterate, or restate the Government’s own language, but rather shall provide convincing rationale describing how it intends to fulfill the requirement. Legibility, clarity, and coherence are very important.

Provide as specifically as possible the actual methodology you would use for accomplishing and satisfying the requirements. The Offeror shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of its capabilities, facilities and experience, and will base the evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror’s proposal.

Unless specifically identified in your proposal, by submission of its offer, the Offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or sub factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in a proposal being determined ineligible for award.

This contract will be awarded as Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery (ID) – Requirements contract in which the Government will utilize the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures in accordance with FAR.15.101-2. Technical tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability. Award will be made to the acceptable Offeror representing the Best Value who is deemed responsible in accordance with FAR Part 9.104 and whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this solicitation.

It is the Government’s intent to evaluate proposals and award contracts without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a). Therefore, the Offeror's initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price, and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) later determines them to be necessary.

1.0 Evaluation Process. Offers will be ranked from lowest to highest based on initial assessment of Total Evaluated Price (TEP). If the Government receives three (3) or fewer initial proposals all proposals will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives three (3) or more initial proposals the Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced proposals and then evaluate them for Technical Acceptability. A price analysis will be conducted on the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal to determine price reasonableness. Award will be made to the lowest TEP proposal meeting the technical acceptability standards (contingent contractor’s responsibility determination). If award is to be made without discussion the evaluation factors and process to be used is listed below.

1.1 Evaluation Factors. In evaluating proposals, the Government will select the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price. To arrive at a decision, each offer will be assessed in accordance with the following evaluation factors for the contract:

Factor 1: Price Factor 2: Technical

1.1.1 Price Evaluation. Evaluations will be completed by multiplying the Offeror’s unit price by the estimated quantity. An offeror’ s proposed TEP will be determined by multiplying the estimated quantities identified in the Schedule of Supplies/Services by the proposed unit price for each CLIN. The extended amounts for each CLIN will then be totaled to obtain the estimated total for each performance period. The TEP consists of all periods of performance. The estimated total for each period of performance will added together to obtain the TEP.

The contract will include FAR Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, with the potential to extend the contract an additional six (6) months beyond the awarded contract performance period. The price for that period will be determined based on the unit prices proposed for the current period of performance and will be evaluated at time of award. In the event the Government requires continued performance, the Government's evaluation of prices proposed will be considered fair and reasonable as applied to an extension of services. Should an extension of services be required rates will be adjusted only as result of revisions to applicable prevailing Department of Labor wage rates.

1.1.2 Technical Evaluation. If the Government receives three (3) or fewer initial proposals all proposals will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives three (3) or more initial proposals the Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced proposals and then evaluate them for Technical Acceptability. The Government reserves the right to evaluate additional proposals for technical acceptability if in the Government’s best interest. If additional proposals are evaluated for technical acceptability they will be selected in the order of total evaluated price.

1.1.2.1 Acceptability Ratings. The evaluation factors listed below will be evaluated and receive one of the following ratings:

(i) Acceptable – The proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

(ii) Unacceptable – The proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

1.1.2.2 Evaluation of Factors. Offerors are advised that their initial submission should be their best effort. Only technically acceptable proposals, either initially or as a result of discussions, are eligible for award. If award is made without discussions, proposal revisions will not be permitted. The Government will evaluate the proposals selected above for technical acceptability on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. For the technical proposal to be rated as “Acceptable”, all technical factors and sub factors must be rated acceptable. If any technical factor or sub factor is rated “Unacceptable” the overall proposal will be rated as “Unacceptable”.

(A) Sub Factor #1 -- Quality Control Plan:

Standard: The offeror shall provide a “Quality Control Plan” (QCP) with a complete written system for identifying and correcting deficiencies. At a minimum, the plan should specifically address contract requirements and location(s) listed and provide the following:

(Revised 15 May 2015)

The standard has been met when: The offeror’s proposal clearly addresses the staffing and organization for performing the minimum requirements of the PWS Section 1.2, inclusive of all sub paragraphs, and the solicitation.

2.0 The Government will conduct a complete Price Analysis on the lowest priced technically acceptable offer using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 15.404-1, to determine if it is reasonable and balanced.

Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable TEP, the price of one or more contract line items or sub line items appears to be significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques. An offeror’s proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

2.1 If discussions are to be conducted, the Government will establish a competitive range based on the ratings of each proposal against all evaluation criteria in the solicitation. The competitive range will consist of the most highly rated offerors based on evaluation of all offers against all factors. The Government reserves the right to further limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. Prior to the establishment of the competitive range, and after the decision to conduct discussions has been made, the Government may enter into limited communications with offerors whose inclusion or exclusion from the competitive range is uncertain. These communications are limited in accordance with FAR 15.306(b)(1). The Government will only enter discussions with those offerors determined to be in the competitive range.

At the conclusion of discussions, each offeror still within the competitive range shall be given an opportunity to submit a Final Proposal Revision (FPR) by a common cutoff date and time as established by the contracting officer.

If, after discussions have begun the Government determines that an offeror’s proposal should no longer be included in the competitive range, the proposal will be eliminated from consideration for award. This may occur at any time even if all material issues have not been discussed or if the offeror has not yet been afforded the opportunity to submit a proposal revision. Written notice of exclusion from the competitive range will be provided to unsuccessful offerors.
