Evaluation shall be conducted on a Lowest-Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis.

1. Price

2. Technical

(1) Factor 1: Price. Upon evaluation, vendors will initially be placed in order of price from lowest to highest. The lowest priced offeror shall then be evaluated for technical acceptability. If technical is acceptable, other offerors shall not be further evaluated and an award shall be made to the acceptable offeror. Should the lowest priced offeror be unacceptable in the technical portion, the next lowest offeror shall be evaluated, and so on until a technically acceptable offer is found and award is made.

(2) Factor 2: Technical Capability. Each Technical Capability factor will be rated as Acceptable or Unacceptable. Acceptable is defined as the quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable is defined as the quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

The following items will be evaluated in regards to the technical portion of this solicitation:

Sub-factor 1: Evidence that the vendor is licensed to perform the work required for this requirement in accordance with the Performance of Work Statement (PWS).

Sub-factor 2: The Vendor shall submit an acceptable schedule of events as required by and in accordance with the attached PWS.

Sub-factor 3: Contractor shall submit a step-by-step, timelined approach to cleaning the well casings in addition to a list of any chemicals/tools used. Approach shall ensure well casings are free of debris/corrosion and sediment. Approach shall be approved in accordance with all Federal, State, and Local regulations.

The government anticipates that award will be made without clarifications or discussions, but reserves the right to hold either, if found to be in the best interest of the government.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(ii) Examples.

(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability.

In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.
