52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) - ADDENDUM

(a) 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:

1. PRICE

2. PAST PERFORMANCE

1. Price:

Initially, the quotations will be ranked according to their total evaluated price (TEP) for Line Item 0001.

Prices will be evaluated utilizing one or more of the methods in FAR 13.106-2. For an offeror to receive the award prices must be determined to be fair and reasonable.

2. Past Performance:

Next, the past performance of the lowest priced quoter will be evaluated. If the past performance evaluation of the lowest prices quoter results in a past performance rating of “Satisfactory Confidence,” the past performance evaluations of the other quoters will be suspended and the lowest priced quoter will be determined to be the “apparent best value”. If a “Satisfactory Confidence” rating is not achieved, then the next lowest quoter will be evaluated. The process will continue until an offer is rated at the Satisfactory Confidence level or all reasonably priced quotations are evaluated. Please note that the government will only attempt to contact past performance references a maximum of three (3) times. If no contact can be made then the past performance for that reference will be rated as Neutral.

- Recent past performance information includes contracts performed and/or being performed for any customer within the last three (3) years from the issuance date of the solicitation.

- The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment rating of Satisfactory Confidence, Neutral Confidence, Limited Confidence or No Confidence, as defined below. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will not be considered as highly as past performance information for the principal quoter. Quoters with no relevant past or present performance history or the quoter’s performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating “Neutral Confidence”, meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. Past performance relevancy will be defined as contracts for sewer cleaning/inspection services similar to the requirements of the SOW. Past performance relevancy will be scored as follows:

Adjectival Rating - Description Relevant Past Performance is similar in scope and complexity to the requirement of this RFQ.

Not Relevant Past Performance is not similar in scope and complexity to the requirement of this RFQ.

Confidence levels are defined as follows:

Adjectival Rating

Description

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the quoter’s recent/relevant performance record, the government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence

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

Limited Confidence

Based on the quoter’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort.

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

3. In evaluating past performance, the government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation.

4. If the lowest priced offer is evaluated to have a “Satisfactory Confidence” performance assessment, and is determined to be responsible, that offer represents the apparent best value for the government, and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other quotations.

5. In the event that the government does not make an award pursuant to paragraph 4 above, the government will evaluate the next lowest priced offer and the process will continue (in order of price) until a quoter is judged to have a “Satisfactory Confidence” performance confidence assessment rating or until all quoters are evaluated. If the procedures in this paragraph take effect, the government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced quoter if the quoter’s performance confidence assessment is rated

“Neutral Confidence” or higher. The Contracting Officer shall then make an integrated best value award decision at that point to determine the apparent best value offeror.

6. Quoters are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the quotation preparation instructions to permit a meaningful assessment of past performance. Quoters may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their quotation or respond to adverse past performance information which the quoter has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than neutral rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a contract without offering the opportunity for quotation revision.
