This provision is incorporated by reference, and paragraph (a) is modified to read as follows:

(i) Initially, offers shall be ranked according to evaluated prices. The price evaluation will be made on the basis of the total price of all line items including the corresponding CLINs under Options. An offeror must therefore propose on all line items including the options.

Price Evaluation for Utilization of FAR 52.217-8, Extension of Services Clause: In order to meet the requirements of FAR Part 6 and FAR Part 17, the price equivalent to the 6 months extension of services authorized by FAR 52.217-8 will be evaluated separately and will not be factored as part of the total evaluated price for award. The Government will calculate prices for a quantity equivalent to 6 months by prorating prices offered for CLINs 0001 including the corresponding CLINs under Options of FAR 52.217-9 and evaluate such prices for reasonableness.

(ii) The lowest priced proposal will then be evaluated for Technical Acceptability to ensure that the offeror understands and is technically capable of performing the requirement. Proposals will be evaluated on a "met" or "failed" basis. To achieve a “met” rating, the offeror must hold a valid General Waste Collection and Transportation Business Permit. Offerors that do not receive a “met” rating will not be considered for award, and the evaluation will proceed to the next lowest priced offeror until a qualified vendor is chosen.
