(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1 – INSTRUCTION TO OFFERORS

1) This Addendum prescribes the format for proposals and describes the approach for the development and presentation of proposal data. These instructions are designed to ensure the submission of information essential to the understanding and comprehensive evaluation of proposals. The instructions permit the inclusion of any additional data or information an offeror deems pertinent within the stated page limitations. Offerors are cautioned to follow the detailed instructions fully and carefully, as the Government reserves the right to make an award based on initial proposals received, without discussion of such proposals.

2) To ensure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein. Offerors are required to submit all documentation/information detailed herein, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to submit all required documentation/information may result in a proposal being ineligible for award. In submitting a proposal, offerors are agreeing to the terms and conditions as written in the entire solicitation. All pages in excess of the stated limitations will be removed and disregarded during the evaluation.

Proposal Format: Each proposal will be submitted in THREE (3) VOLUMES, each part separately bound, preferably in spiral or loose leaf binders. Care should be exercised to ensure that mission capability and past performance volumes do not include any pricing data. Each proposal will consist of no more than three (3) volumes and their respective page limitations are as follows:

Main Cover Letter: 1 page limit. It should include the offeror’s CAGE Code for their Central Contractor Registration (CCR).

Volume I – Mission Capability Proposal: 100 page limit

· 3 copies of Management Approach

· 1 copy of each manufacturer’s pre-printed technical data for each product/sample offered & 1 set of products/samples as detailed below in paragraph 7.a.iii.2.a & .b (not counted in 100 page limit).

1940 ALLBROOK DRIVE, STE. #3

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH 45433-5309

5) Proposals may be mailed or hand-carried to the above address so they are received by the contracting office by the due date and time shown in Block 8, Page 1 of this Solicitation.

6) The Contracting Officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial proposals, the Contracting Officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer’s opinion, adequate price competition exists no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition the contracting officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists; offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.

7) Proposal Content:

a) VOLUME I – MISSION CAPABILITY

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

(a) 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, price and other factors considered. This acquisition will utilize the Performance Price Trade-Off (PPT) technique to make a best value award decision. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Mission Capability

Past Performace

Price

Mission Capability is pass/fail. Past Performance is approximately equal to Price in making an award decision.

(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.

(End of provision)

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2, EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS

1) Any Offeror who does not submit a complete package consisting of all of the elements described in FAR 52.212-1 and Addendum thereto may automatically be considered non-responsive and their proposal will not advance in the evaluation process. Therefore, non-responsive proposals will not be considered for award. The application of the PPT Technique in the award selection and approval process is as follows:

a) A decision on the technical acceptability of each Offeror’s mission capability proposal shall be made first on a pass/fail basis. Each proposal will be assigned a rating of: Acceptable, Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made Acceptable, or Unacceptable. Only those Offerors determined to be technically acceptable will be considered for award.

b) All technically acceptable proposals will then receive an Integrated Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating of: Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, Unknown Confidence. The Integrated Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating will be determined by combining two individual components: Relevancy and Quality of Past Performance.

c) All technically acceptable proposals will then be ranked by evaluated price. Note: Unrealistically low or high proposals will not be considered for award.

d) If the lowest evaluated price, technically acceptable Offeror has a Substantial Integrated Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating, this Offeror’s proposal would represent the best value for this acquisition and award will be made to this Offeror, subject to a positive responsibility determination. The Government reserves the right to award only one or no contract at all, depending on the quality of the proposal(s) submitted.

e) If the lowest priced, technically acceptable Offeror’s Integrated Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating is less than Substantial, the Government will consider a tradeoff between Price and Past Performance to determine which offer represents the best value to the Government. In these cases, the Source Selection Authority shall use good business judgment in making the best value award decision.

f) The Government anticipates making an award without conducting discussions. 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 determined to be necessary by the Source Selection Authority.

2) MISSION CAPABILITY:

a) A decision on the technical acceptability of each Offeror’s Mission Capability Proposal shall be made. Each proposal will be assigned a rating of:

i) Acceptable: The Mission Capability Proposal meets all the minimum mandatory Mission Capability Proposal requirements in the solicitation. Only those proposals determined acceptable, either initially or as a result of exchanges will be considered for award.

ii) Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made Acceptable: The Mission Capability Proposal does not meet some of the minimum mandatory Technical Proposal requirements in the solicitation; however, there is reason to believe that through exchanges an acceptable Mission Capability Proposal could result. For award without discussions these proposals are considered “unacceptable”

iii) Unacceptable: The Mission Capability Proposal substantially fails to meet the minimum mandatory Mission Capability Proposal requirements in the solicitation. Mission Capability Proposals with an unacceptable rating will not be considered for award.

b) Each Offeror must show evidence of a capability to provide the mandatory requirements set forth in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and elsewhere in this solicitation. A technical review team composed of key Government personnel will use their technical skills, knowledge and experience to thoroughly review the adequacy of the proposals. In evaluating the Mission Capability Proposal, the Government will use the following evaluation criteria:

i) Compliance with the requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and this entire solicitation.

ii) Understanding of the requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and this entire solicitation.

iii) Compliance and understanding of the requirements of the PWS as applied specifically to each factor/subfactor listed below.

c) The following specific subfactors will be evaluated in VOLUME I – MISSION CAPABILITY PROPOSAL (as outlined in the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1). Any subfactor determined unacceptable may render the entire Mission Capability Proposal as unacceptable. Upon final determination that a proposal is unacceptable, the Contracting Officer (CO) shall promptly notify the firm submitting the proposal that it will not be considered for award and shall indicate in general terms the basis for the determination.

d) Mission Capability Evaluation Sub Factors are as follows:

(1) Sub-Factor 1 - MANAGEMENT APPROACH: The Offeror will be evaluated on their ability to fulfill the PWS requirements, including how they plan to manage and administer these requirements.

Measure of Merit: The acceptable rating is met when the Offeror’s Management Approach provides a clear and comprehensive approach to meeting the requirements of the PWS. Reference 52.212-1 Addendum, Paragraph 7.a.iii.1.

(2) Sub-Factor 2 - PRODUCT SAMPLES: The Offeror will be evaluated on their ability to submit samples in accordance with the salient characteristics listed in the PWS.

Measure of Merit: The acceptable rating is met when:

(a) The Offeror has submitted one (1) set of bound samples for all proposed materials and products offered; which meet the salient characteristics listed in the PWS Sections 1.8 through 1.10, Appendix C, and D. Reference 52.212-1 Addendum, Paragraph 7.a.iii.1.

(b) The Offeror has submitted one (1) copy of manufacturers’ pre-printed technical data for each product sample offered, and the products that contain post-consumer recycled content are clearly marked. Reference 52.212-1 Addendum, Paragraph 7.a.iii.1.

3) PAST PERFORMANCE:

a) If no past performance information is submitted as a part of the Offeror’s proposal, the entire proposal will be considered non-responsive and will not be considered for award.

b) For those Offerors who do not have any relevant past performance information to submit, a statement to that effect will satisfy the requirement for a past performance volume. In such a case, that Offeror may be considered to have an unknown integrated past performance confidence assessment rating for evaluation purposes. However, if the Government has knowledge or gains knowledge through other sources regarding what the Government believes to be relevant past performance for an Offeror who states they have none, such information may be used by the Government for evaluation purposes and a past performance confidence assessment rating will be assigned to that Offeror’s proposal.

c) Technically acceptable Offerors will receive an Integrated Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating based on the Offeror’s past and present performance as it relates to the probability of successfully accomplishing the required effort. The Integrated Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating will be determined by combining two individual components: Relevancy and Quality of Past Performance.

i) RELEVANCY OF PAST PERFORMANCE: Determined by comparing the Offeror’s current and recent past performance (contracts that have not expired more than three (3) years ago) to the scope and complexity of the effort required by the Performance Work Statement. The Government is not bound by the Offeror's opinion of relevancy.

(1) Relevancy information will be obtained from:

(a) A review of each questionnaire submitted from Offeror’s sources assessing work which has been performed within the last three (3) years.

(b) A review of contract performance information from electronic posting systems such as Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and information independently obtained by the Government through other sources.

(c) A review of the information in the Offeror’s past performance proposal.

(2) Relevancy Rating will be assigned as follows:

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

Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved much of the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

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

Not Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

(3) Relevancy shall be determined subjectively by the Government based on the information provided for each of the contracts submitted. The following table will be used in conjunction with the relevancy rating definitions provided above in determining each contract’s relevancy rating. Offerors must demonstrate by contracts submitted their experience (or team's experience) installing all flooring types specified in the PWS, experience with furniture lift systems, and asbestos abatement.

Sub factor 1 Management Approach

and/or

· Any contract showing experience lifting approximately 100 workstations (system’s furniture) and moving executive office furniture and other portable furniture.

and/or

· Any contract showing experience identifying & abating asbestos containing flooring materials in the state of Ohio.

and/or

· Any contract showing experience lifting approximately 50 workstations (system’s furniture) and moving executive office furniture and other portable furniture.

· Any contract showing experience identifying & abating asbestos containing flooring materials in a state other than Ohio.

· Any contract showing experience lifting approximately 25 workstations (system’s furniture) and moving executive office furniture and other portable furniture.

· Any contract showing experience lifting significantly less than 25 workstations (system’s furniture).

ii) QUALITY OF PAST PERFORMANCE: Determined by examining documentation to identify how well the Offeror and their products actually performed on current and recent past contracts.

(1) Quality of Past Performance information will be obtained from:

(a) A review of each questionnaire submitted from Offeror’s sources assessing work which is being or has been performed within the last three (3) years.

(b) A review of contract performance information from electronic posting systems such as Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and information independently otherwise obtained by the Government through other sources.

(c) A review of the information in the Offeror’s proposal.

(2) Each contract evaluated for Quality will receive one of the following ratings:

Exceptional: During the contract period, contractor performance is meeting (or met) all contract requirements and consistently exceeding (or exceeded) many. Very few, if any, minor problems encountered. Contractor took immediate and effective corrective action.

Very Good: During the contract period, contractor is meeting (or met) all contract requirements and consistently exceeding (or exceeded) some. Some minor problems encountered. Contractor took timely corrective action.

Satisfactory: During the contract period, contractor performance is meeting (or met) all contract requirements. For any problems encountered, contractor took effective corrective action.

Marginal: During the contract period, contractor performance is not meeting (or did not meet) some contract requirements. For problems encountered, corrective action appeared only marginally effective, not effective, or not fully implemented. Customer involvement was required.

Unsatisfactory: During the contract period, contractor performance is failing (or fail) to meet most contract requirements. Serious problems encountered Corrective actions were either ineffective or non-existent. Extensive Customer oversight and involvement was required.

Not Applicable: Unable to provide a rating. Contract did not include performance for this aspect. Do not know.

iii) INTEGRATED PAST PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT RATING: Determined by subjectively integrating the overall Relevancy and Quality of Past Performance data. This final assessment rating of the Offeror's past performance will be used by the Government in the best value award decision. Each Offeror will receive one of the following Integrated Past Performance Confidence Ratings:

Substantial Confidence: Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence: Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has an expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence: Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

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

Unknown Confidence: No performance record is identifiable or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. (See FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)
