2. Technical Proposal Requirements: The technical proposal will describe the capability of your organization to perform the requirements of the contract, it shall be specific and complete. The proposal shall not merely offer to perform work in accordance with the PWS, but shall outline the actual method proposed as specifically as possible. Non-conformance with the instructions provided may result in an unacceptable technical evaluation.

3. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements but, rather, shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities or experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.

4. Your technical proposal shall contain the information specified below in accordance with the following subfactor

essential contractor services as described in DFARS 252.237-7024, Notice of Continuation of Essential Contractor Services. Subfactor1 must be met in order to be deemed technically acceptable. If a proposal is determined "unacceptable," the Contracting Officer (CO) will promptly notify the offeror that the proposal will not be considered for award and shall indicate, in general terms, the basis for the determination.

(17) Part II - Past Performance (Factor 2):

Past Performance will be evaluated as acceptable or unacceptable based on recent and relevant as defined below.

- Recent is defined as within the last five (5) years (contract must be currently on-going or started no earlier than May 2018).

- Relevant is defined as contract work in the area of Integrated Solid Waste Management(ISWM); i.e. refuse collection services as identified in the Performance Work Statement (Attachment 1 to this solicitation).

In addition, explain corrective actions taken in the past, if any, for substandard performance and any current performance problems affecting performance (such as numerous incidences of re-performance of work, discrepancies, etc.). It is the Offeror's responsibility to ensure all past performance data submitted is current and correct so that the Government can perform a proper evaluation.

Past Performance section is limited to a maximum of the three (3) most recent/relevant contracts performed for federal agencies and commercial customers, with a page limit of two (2)pages per contract; therefore, an overall page limit of six (6) pages, Attachment 4, Past not including Performance Questionnaire.

Evaluation Factors for Award

The following clauses were modified:

52.212-2 - Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services. Nov 2021 hereby reads as follows:

Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will (a) be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(i). Technical

(ii). Price

(iii). Past Performance

. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic (b) Options 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).

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance (c) 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.

(End of provision)

Addendum to 52.212-2, Evaluation--Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

In addition to paragraph's (a) through (c), the following are added:

(d) : This acquisition will utilize the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) technique to make a best value award Basis for Award decision. The application of the LPTA technique in the contract award selection and approval process is as follows:

(1) The Government will review the two lowest priced offers and if both are deemed technically and performance acceptable, award will go to the lowest priced offeror and no further proposals shall be reviewed. If either of the two lowest priced offers are not deemed technically and performance acceptable, the next lowest priced offer shall be reviewed for technical and performance acceptability. If this offer is not deemed acceptable, this process shall continue until two offerors are deemed technically and performance acceptable if only one offerors is or of the deemed acceptable, a price analysis report shall be accomplished to determine price fair and reasonable. Note: In accordance with FAR 52.212-1 (g), as prescribed in FAR 12.301(b)(1), "The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors" (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer (CO) to be necessary. A competitive range will be established, and discussions will only be with those offerors in the competitive range. The CO may request offerors of marginal proposals to submit clarifications of areas identified by the technical proposal evaluation team. In initiating a request, the CO will set an appropriate time for submission of such information. Late submissions will be handled in accordance with FAR 52.212-1(f) "Late Submissions". The clarification information will be incorporated as part of the proposal.

(2) The lowest priced technically acceptable proposal will be deemed the successful offeror and award shall be made to this offeror, subject to a positive responsibility determination.

(e) Technical Area:

(1) A technical review team composed of key Government personnel will use their technical skill, knowledge and experience to thoroughly review the adequacy of proposals. Each proposal will be evaluated by application of the assessment criteria to each subfactor in the technical proposal. Only those proposals determined technically acceptable will be considered for award. Factor 1 and its subfactor will be considered acceptable or unacceptable as defined below:

- Acceptable: Proposal meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

- Unacceptable: Proposal does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation

(2) Offerors must pass all Technical subfactors in order to be deemed technically acceptable:

(f) : Part I - Technical Proposal (Factor 1)

(1) The review team will ensure the technical proposal does not make reference to price data. ALL subfactors must be deemed acceptable in order to be technically acceptable.

(2) The review team will ensure the technical proposal primarily describes the capability of offeror's organization to perform the requirements of the contract and is specific and complete. The proposal shall not merely offer to perform work in accordance with the Performance Work Statement but shall outline the actual method proposed as specifically as possible. Non-conformance with the instructions provided may result in an unacceptable technical evaluation.

(3) The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements but, rather, shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities or experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.

(4) In addition to Factor 1, your technical proposal contained the information specified below:

Subfactor 1 - Continuation of Essential Contractor Services. This subfactor is met if the offeror provided a written plan describing how it will continue to perform the essential contractor services as described in DFARS 252.237-7024, Notice of Continuation of Essential Contractor Services.

(g) Part II - Past Performance (Factor 2):

(1) Past performance shall be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.305 and DFARS 215.305. The comparative assessment in FAR 15.305(a)(2)

(i) does not apply. Therefore, past performance will be rated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis as defined below:

- Acceptable: Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror's performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

- Unacceptable: Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Offerors shall use the 2-page Attachment 4, Past Performance Questionnaire for the basic information of each contract and provide no more than three (3) of the most recent and `relevant (defined below) contracts performed for federal agencies and commercial customers.

- Recent is defined as within the last five (5) years (contract must be currently on-going or started no earlier than May 2018).

- Relevant is defined as contract work in the area of ISWM (Refuse Collection Services) as identified in the scope of work of the Performance Work Statement (Attachment 1to this solicitation).

The Government will determine relevance by analyzing the "scope", "magnitude" and "complexity" of the reference contracts and comparing them to the instant requirement. The Government reserves the right to evaluate submitted projects individually or in the aggregate in order to determine relevance and will do so consistently across all evaluated offers. The Government will also consider the quality of the Contractor's relevant past performance.

The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. The Government will consider the quality of an offeror's past performance. This consideration is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer's responsibility determination. The assessment of the offeror's relevant past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capability of the offeror to successfully meet the requirements of the RFQ.

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 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. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown" shall be considered "acceptable."

(h) Part III - Price Area/Data (Factor 3)

(1) Price Area - The offeror's proposal price will be determined by multiplying the quantity times the unit price for the CLIN (Contract Line Item Number) and totaling the product of that calculation for all priced CLINs, (Base and all Option periods) to arrive at a total estimated contract value. It is reiterated from FAR 52.212-2: "The total price of the proposal inclusive of all CLINs for the base period, all possible option periods to be exercised under FAR clause 52.217-9, and/or any possible extension under FAR clause 52.217-8 for six (6) months (using the last option's figures) will be evaluated" amongst the other proposals and the IGE for reasonable and realism. Unbalanced pricing or failure to include pricing for all CLINS (Base and Options periods), will render proposal pricing as non-responsive.

a. The offerors price evaluation criteria will not be rated but will be evaluated for reasonableness and will be used in determining the best value to the Government. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay when consideration is given to prices in the market. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404.

b. Additionally, the price proposal may also undergo a price realism evaluation for the purpose of measuring the Contractor's understanding of the solicitation requirements and for assessing the performance risk inherent in the Contractor's price.

c. The Contractor is cautioned that its proposal may be rejected if it is found to be materially unbalanced in the base period or any option periods. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly overstated or understated.

d. Unbalanced pricing or failure to include pricing for all CLINS (Base and option periods), will render proposal pricing as non-responsive.

(2) Price Data - This section of the proposal shall include only the following:

a. The signed Standard Form 1449, Solicitation/Contract, returned in its entirety along with all required fill-in documents, not in SAM (Do return attachments, ).not except Attachment 4, Past Performance Questionnaire

b. Complete all blanks for and /total prices for Base and Option Years.unit extended

c. Any, signed, solicitation amendments thereto.
