FAR provision 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. As prescribed in FAR 12.301(c), the following addendum is provided for this solicitation and hereby amends any language therein:

a. Quotations will be evaluated based on the offeror’s capability and experience, approach to service delivery, and price. The government seeks to award a contract to the offeror whose quotation represents the best value to the government, considering both technical approach and price.

b. 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 with price and other factors considered. The following evaluation criteria shall be used:

i. Price:

The total price for all line items (including the base period and all option periods) will be evaluated. Offerors are encouraged to provide their best pricing upfront. The offeror’s total price will be rank ordered, amongst all responsible offers, with the lowest price as the most advantageous for the government.

ii. Technical Capability:

Technical capability will also be considered to ensure that the offeror is capable of performing the services required. Offerors must demonstrate their experience and qualifications related to maintenance of grounds and landscaping, especially in environments similar to scope as military installations. Each offeror’s technical capability will be assigned an overall adjectival rating of Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Unacceptable (See below table). This factor will be evaluated as approximately equal to price.

iii. Past Performance:

Past Performance will be evaluated based on three aspects: recency, relevance, and quality. The evaluation of recency will consider the offeror’s past performance within the last 5 years. The evaluation of relevance will consider the offeror’s ability to complete projects of similar scope and complexity as required to satisfactorily meet the performance standards in Attachment 1 – Eielson AFB Grounds PWS based on their past performance history (See below relevancy rating evaluation table).

The evaluation of quality will establish the overall quality of the offeror’s past performance. Based on the offeror’s past performance recency, relevance, and quality the offeror will be assigned a confidence rating of Substantial, Satisfactory, Neutral, Limited, or No Confidence (See below

Performance Confidence Table). This factor will be evaluated as approximately equal to price.

iv. Approach to Service Delivery:

Offerors must outline their approach to providing the required services, including how they plan to meet the service requirements and any innovative strategies or methods they will employ to ensure effective and efficient service delivery. Each offeror’s approach to Service Delivery will be assigned an overall adjectival rating of Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Unacceptable (See below table). This factor will be evaluated as approximately equal to price.

c. Evaluation Rating Method Tables:

i. Technical Capability & Approach to Service Delivery:

Adjectival Rating

Description

Outstanding Proposal demonstrates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements, contains multiple strengths and/or at least one significant strength.

Good Proposal demonstrates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength or significant strength.

Acceptable Proposal demonstrates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements.

Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation and, thus, contains one or more deficiencies and is un-awardable.

ii. Past Performance Relevancy:

Description

Very Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

iii. Past Performance Confidence

Description

Substantial Confidence

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

Satisfactory Confidence

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

Neutral Confidence

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.

The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence

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

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

2. The Government intends to make an award without conducting interchanges with offerors after the close of the solicitation. Therefore, offerors should provide their best available pricing and technical approach to the Government in their initial quote.

However, the Government reserves the right to enter into interchanges with all, some, or none of the offers at any time during the evaluation period if deemed in the best interests of the Government.
