Evaluation for this acquisition will be a best value determination considering technical, past performance, and price.

Evaluation for this acquisition will be based on a best value determination considering technical, past performance and price. Technical evaluation will be based on completion date of CLIN 0001, methodology of their proper disposal/application process and understanding of environmental requirements/processes. See Atch 1 Performance Work Statement (PWS), past performance evaluation will be based on information provided in #4 below. The Government reserves the right to refrain from awarding to any Offeror that is determined to have offered pricing that is not considered fair and reasonable.

***This is a critical requirement. The completion of CLIN 0001 is as important as the total evaluated price. The government reserves the right to award to a higher price proposal for a shorter completion period for CLIN 0001 that meets the specified requirements in the Statement of Work, Sections 1.3 and 1.4. If the proposed completion date of CLIN 0001 is not met, the government will seek liquidated damages in accordance with FAR 52.211-11 unless the delay is due to circumstances beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. Examples of these causes are: acts of God or of the public enemy, acts of the Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather.
