D. Volume III - Past Performance

1. General: The offeror shall submit Present and Past Performance Information for itself, for work performed within the last 5 years from the date of this solicitation. Work performed as a subcontractor or prime contractor is acceptable. The Government reserves the right to rate past performance as a prime contractor more relevant than work performed as a subcontractor. Please refer to paragraph 3 of this section for Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) instructions.

2. Past Performance Format: The requested present and past performance information shall be provided in a separate volume labeled "Volume III - Past Performance." A summary page shall be provided for this acquisition, describing each piece of submitted past performance. Submitted Past Performance Information should include the role of the offeror in the past performance effort (i.e. was the offeror the prime contractor, the sub-contractor, or part of a teaming arrangement). This summary page must include the name, position, phone number, and address of Points of Contract for any offered past performance as reference.

3. Past Performance Questionnaire: The Present/Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (see RFP Attachment 3) is provided with the solicitation for offerors to send to a minimum of two (2) references and a maximum of five (5) references of their choice and will be one means used by the Government to obtain present/past performance information. The Government reserves the right to seek past performance information by any means available, including, but not limited to, CPARS, PPIRS, other Government and private organizations, contacting past performance references, and internet searches. The offeror shall send out and track the completion of the PPQ (see RFP Attachment 3) to each of the offeror's references. The responsibility to send out and track the completion of the PPQ rests solely with the offeror - i.e., The Government will not be responsible for past performance questionnaires that are not submitted. The PPQ must be submitted directly by the offeror's reference to the Government not later than the date established in the RFP for receipt of proposals. References must submit their completed PPQ either by email or fax. If sending electronically, follow the procedures outlined in paragraph I.B., Communications above, and email to:

darrell.gonzalez_mcfadden.2@us.af.mil and scott.stauffer@us.af.mil or fax to: (701) 723-1228. When faxing please ensure to mark your communication Source Selection Sensitive Information.

Once the Present/Past Performance Questionnaires are completed by your POCs, the information contained therein shall be considered source selection sensitive and shall not be released to you, the offeror. Therefore, any exchange/contact between the offeror/joint venture member and/or critical subcontractor and its own reference in regards to comments made on the questionnaire is not permitted.

4. RFP Attachment Legend: RFP Attachment 3 (Present/Past Performance Questionnaire) must include the following legend at the top and bottom of the page:

Evaluation Factors for Award

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

52.212-2 Addendum

EVALUATION BASIS FOR AWARD

I. Basis for Contract Award:

A. Source Selection Methodology: This acquisition will utilize the Subjective Tradeoff source selection procedures in accordance with FAR 15.101-1 and 15.3 as supplemented by the DoD Source Selection Procedures referenced in DFARS 215.300 and the AFFARS Mandatory Procedures 5315.3 to make an integrated assessment for a best value award decision. The Government shall rank all offers by Total Evaluated Price (TEP). TEP is the total price of the contract to include the base year plus all option years and adding 1/2 of the total of the final option year. The TEP will also include an option to extend services IAW FAR 52.217-8. The proposals will be ranked based on price first, and then, starting with the lowest priced proposal, price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance. If the price is reasonable and balanced, the proposal will then be evaluated for technical acceptability on a pass/fail basis. If the lowest priced proposal is considered technically acceptable, past performance will then be evaluated. Past performance will be evaluated using the chart found in section e.4. The Government reserves the right to consider past performance ratings of "substantial" or "satisfactory" more highly than a rating of "neutral". If the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer has a past performance rating of "substantial", that offer represents the best value to the Government and the evaluation process will stop. No other offers will be evaluated. If the lowest priced offeror does not receive a rating of "substantial", evaluations will continue in the same manner starting with the second lowest priced proposal until an offeror receives a "substantial" rating, or all proposals are evaluated. If no offeror receives a substantial rating, the SSA will then make an award decision.

While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the tradeoff process, by its nature, is subjective; therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the selection process. Offerors are reminded that the Government will not evaluate more than one proposal from each offeror. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal is reasonable and balanced, conforms to all required terms and conditions, includes all required representations and certifications, meets all requirements set forth in the RFP and also provides the best value to the Government based on the results of the evaluation as described above and in paragraph II below.

B. Number of Contracts to be Awarded: The Government intends to award one (1) contract for the School Bus services. The Government reserves the right to cancel this RFP before or after receipt of proposals, and not award a contract, if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government.

II. Proposal Evaluation: The evaluation process will be accomplished as follows (Organized by Volume):

A. General

1. Discussions: The Government intends to award without discussions, but reserves the right to enter into discussions if determined to be in the best interest of the Government. Any discussions will be conducted in accordance with FAR 15.306. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer, with the concurrence of the Source Selection Authority, may 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. If, during the evaluation period, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to hold discussions, offeror responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs) and the Final Proposal Revision (FPR) will be considered in making the source selection decision. Offerors may be required to respond with their FPR within 24 hours. If the offeror's proposal has been evaluated as acceptable at the time discussions are closed, any changes or exceptions in the Final Proposal Revision are subject to re-evaluation and may introduce risk that the offeror's proposal will be determined unacceptable and ineligible for award.

B. Volume I, Completed RFP

1. General: Volume I, Completed RFP, shall consist of the completed and signed RFP, to include any amendments issued, with a cover letter delineating any exceptions taken to the RFP terms and conditions with accompanying rationale. However, offerors are cautioned that any noncompliance with the terms and conditions of the RFP may cause their proposal to be determined unacceptable and therefore not considered eligible for award. Offerors shall ensure that all clauses and provisions that require "fill in" information are appropriately completed, including the proposed prices associated with the contract line items in the Schedule of the RFP. Volume I must also include the Financial Responsibility Questionnaire (Attachment 10).

C. Volume II, Technical Factor

1. General: Each offeror's written technical proposal shall be evaluated, based on the factor below, to determine if the offeror provides a sound, compliant approach that meets the requirements of the contract documents and demonstrates a thorough knowledge and understanding of those requirements.

Technical Factor One: Staffing and Management Plan

Description: Offerors shall provide Staffing and Management Plan to include, but not limited to: A method to acquire, and maintain a Tier I clearance for employees as prescribed in the PWS section

6.2.5. A plan to replace employees and ensure Tier I clearance is maintained. As well as a course of action to provide services during winter months and inclement weather.

2. Technical Rating: The technical rating reflects the evaluation of the acceptability of the offeror's technical approach for meeting the Government's requirement. The offeror's proposal shall be evaluated to determine whether the proposal is acceptable or unacceptable, using the ratings and descriptions described in each factor. One technical rating will be assigned to each technical factor. In order to be considered awardable, there must be an "acceptable" rating in every factor.

Technical Acceptability Rating for Organizational Structure

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable

Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable

Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

E. Volume III, Past Performance Factor

1. General: The past performance assessment will assess the offeror's ability (which includes, if applicable, the extent of its critical subcontractors' involvement) to successfully accomplish the proposed effort based on the offeror's demonstrated present and past work record. The Government will evaluate the offeror's contract compliance in supplying services that meet users' needs, including price and schedule. The recency and relevancy of the information, the source of the information, context of the data and general trends in the contractor's performance will be considered. For purposes of this evaluation, recency is defined as active or completed efforts performed within the past five (5) years from the date of issue of this solicitation. If the past performance is not considered recent, it will not be evaluated any further.

2. Past Performance Assessment: In assessing present and past performance, the Government will employ several approaches including, but not limited to:

a) Other Sources of Information: Pursuant to FAR 15.305(a)(2)(ii), the Past Performance Team evaluation is not limited to review of the information provided in the offeror's Present/Past Performance volume. Present/Past performance information may be obtained from the Government's Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) and the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). The Government reserves the right to use performance information from other sources such as Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), Fee Determining Officials, or commercial sources. Data from previous source selections may be used if the data is recent and relevant. This is not an all-inclusive list; the Government reserves the right to utilize any and all past performance information available.

3. Relevancy Definitions: The Government will perform an independent determination of relevancy of the data provided or obtained. A relevancy determination will be made for all of the recent submitted contracts. The Government is not bound by the offeror's opinion of relevancy. The following relevancy criteria apply and will be assigned to each effort identified in an offeror's Volume IV of its proposal:

VERY RELEVANT: Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. To be considered Very Relevant, the effort must include: past performance showing successful provision of mangement personnel, equipment, tools, materials, vehicles, supervision, personnel with tier one clearance and other items and services necessary to perform school bus services at substantially the same or greater magnitude and complexity of the current acquisition.

* RELEVANT: Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. To be considered Relevant, the effort must include most of the following elements: past performance showing successful provision of mangement personnel, equipment, tools, materials, vehicles, supervision, personnel with tier one clearance and other items and services necessary to perform school bus services at a similarmagnitude and complexity of the current acquisition.

* SOMEWHAT RELEVANT: Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. To be considered Somewhat Relevant, the effort must include some of the following elements: past performance showing successful provision of mangement personnel, equipment, tools, materials, vehicles, supervision, tier one clearance and other items and services necessary to perform school bus services at a similar or lesser magnitude and complexity of the current acquisition.

* NOT RELEVANT: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

4. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings: As a result of the relevancy and quality assessments of the past performance evaluated, one of the ratings as described in the DoD Source Selection Procedures will be assigned to the Past Performance factor. The performance confidence assessment ratings are as follows:

Adjectival Rating Definition

Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror's performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or is so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a) (2) (iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance and will be assigned a performance confidence rating of "Neutral". The Government reserves the right to consider ratings of Substantial or Satisfactory confidence as more advantageous to the Government than a "Neutral Confidence" rating.

F. Volume IV, Price Proposal Factor

1. General: The offeror's price proposal will be evaluated for award based upon the proposed total price of the contract to include option years. Offerors whose proposed price is determined to be unreasonable or unbalanced may not be considered for award.

2. Price Rating:

a) The offeror's price proposal will be evaluated to ensure it is fair and reasonable pursuant to FAR

15.404. For additional information see FAR 31.201-3.

b) The Government shall rank all offers by Total Evaluated Price (TEP). TEP is the total price of the contract to include the base year plus all option years. The TEP will also include an option to extend services IAW FAR 52.217-8. This additional option will be calculated by adding one and a half of the total of the final option year. The Contracting Officer has determined there is a probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. If at any time during this competition the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition does not exist, offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the Contracting Officer to determine the reasonableness of price.

The offeror's price proposal will be evaluated for award purposes based upon the total price proposed for the requirement. The offeror's price proposal will be evaluated to ensure it is fair and reasonable and balanaced pursuant to FAR 15.404. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly over or understated. An offer may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. The Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. These rates may be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates provided by the Secretary of Labor. The option provision may be exercised more than once, but the total extension of performance hereunder shall not exceed 6 months. The Government will calculate this option to extend the term of the contract, by taking one and a half of the total of the final option year and adding that price to the total sum of the contract.

The Government will evaluate total price by taking the price of the first year and dividing that by two and adding the price to the total sum of the contract and comparing that to the independent government estimate (IGE). The Government will acheives it objective of evaluating prices balance and reasonableness by evaluating the proposed prices againts the IGE and all other competitive proposals.
