The Government has provided a Past Performance Questionnaire (See Attachment 4) to aid the prospective offerors with obtaining past performance information. Offeror should make copies of this questionnaire and forward to agencies with which they have had relevant and recent contracts. The customer filling out the questionnaire must have received washer and dryer or similar services provided by responding offeror within the last five (5) years.

The Past Performance Questionnaire attached provides information for your customers on how to fill out the questionnaire, when and where to submit, and explains the evaluation codes used in performance evaluation. These questionnaires must be received by the 20th Contracting Squadron point-of-contact on the date designated as this allows the evaluators to have all performance information at the same time the proposals are submitted for review.

Offerors need to make their customers aware of these deadlines as Past Performance Questionnaires received after the due date will not be considered for evaluation.

(End of Provision - Addendum)

ADDENDUM 52.212-2

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL ITEMS (Oct 2014)

BASIS FOR AWARD: This is a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection process in which the best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price.

By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. All technically acceptable offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records.

Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

Only the solicitation package of responsive Offerors shall be evaluated. The following factors and subfactors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Evaluation criteria: Evaluation criteria consists of factors and sub-factors. Each proposal will be evaluated against three evaluation factors: Technical, Past Performance and Price.

1. Factor 1 - Technical. Initially, the Government’s Technical Evaluation Team shall evaluate each offeror’s technical approach on a pass/fail basis, assigning ratings of Acceptable or Unacceptable. Each proposal shall be evaluated against the following subfactors:

Subfactor 1: Management Plan - Narrative addressing capability to meet solicitation requirements and requirements stated in the SoW to include a management plan for quality control.

Subfactor 2: Specification Requirements – Documentation showing that track inspectors meet the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) qualifications for track inspectors in FRA “Track Safety Standards” chapter 5 under specific requirements of 213.7, or US Army Track Inspector Certificates documenting the inspectors are certified as track inspectors by the US Army.

Subfactor 3: At least five years of experience providing maintenance and inspections for railroads.

Note: Technical acceptability will be rated at the sub-factor level, assigning each sub-factor a rating of “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable.” The offeror’s proposal must be rated “Acceptable” in all Technical Sub-factors to be eligible for award.

Technical Ratings

Rating Description Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

2. Factor 2 - Past Performance. Using past performance questionnaires, the Contracting Officer shall seek relevant and recent past performance information based on: (1) the past efforts provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources. Relevant past performance includes performance of efforts involving railraod maintenance and inspection services that are similar or greater in scope magnitude and complexity than the effort described in this solicitation. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the offeror’s ability to perform the effort described in the solicitation, based on the offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance. The Government will evaluate the quality and extent of offeror's performance with the same or similar size and scope to the requirements of this solicitation.

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. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability / unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.” Past Performance will be rated on an “acceptable” or unacceptable” basis using the following ratings. The offer’s proposal must be rated “Acceptable” in order to be eligible for award.

Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Rating Description

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.

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.

Unknown Confidence (Acceptable)

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.

3. Factor 3 - Price. The Government shall rank all technically acceptable offers by price, including option prices.

An offeror’s proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in Section B by the proposed unit price for each Contract Line Item Number or Subcontract Line Item Number to confirm the extended amount for each. Copies of the Pricing Schedule will be necessary in order to submit a proposal for each Option Year.

Price will be evaluated in order to determine if it is fair, reasonable and balanced. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness.

4. 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. The total evaluated price will consist of the sum of all Contract Line Items for base year, option years, plus 50% of the last option year (four) IAW FAR Clause 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services. Note: Offerors shall not include a price for the Option to Extend Services or the Cost Reimbursable contract line items.

Note: 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 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.

The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions, if deemed in its best interest.
