(d) A proposal received after proposal closing may be considered if it is the only proposal received for the solicitation, or if a late revision of any otherwise successful proposal makes its terms more favorable to the Authority.

12. WITHDRAWAL OF PROPOSALS

Proposals may be withdrawn by written notice received by the Authority before award.

Proposals may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or an authorized representative, if the representative's identity is appropriately demonstrated and the representative signs a receipt for the proposal before award.

All reasonable efforts will be made to ensure confidentiality of the information contained in the proposals, consistent with applicable provisions of law.

The Contracting Officer shall conduct discussions with all offerors submitting proposals that are within the competitive range.

(e) The Contracting Officer may, following such discussions, direct those offerors whose proposals are within the competitive range to submit Best and Final Offers (“BAFOs”).

In such instances, the Contracting Officer shall award the Contract based upon his or her review of the BAFOs in accordance with the Evaluation Criteria. Nothing contained herein shall limit, modify or impair the Contracting Officer’s right to engage in any additional oral or written discussions or other communications relating to the solicitation that may, be consistent with the Authority’s best interests.

(f) The Authority maintains the right to waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals at any time during the solicitation process.

14. EVALUATION CRITERIA AND BASIS FOR AWARD

BEST VALUE

The Authority will award a contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation and is judged to be the most advantageous to the Authority based on an overall assessment of technical merit and price in accordance with the Evaluation Criteria.

In conducting this assessment:

(b) The Authority reserves the right to award this Contract without discussions or further communications concerning the proposals received. Proposals should contain the offeror’s best terms from both a price and technical standpoint. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to engage in oral or written communications with proposers, if necessary to make an unacceptable proposal acceptable.

(c) Price evaluations will be based on the total cost to the Authority for base year requirements, plus any option years.

15. RATINGS FOR PROPOSAL EVALUATION CRITERIA – (BEST VALUE)

Each criterion will be rated using the adjectival scoring method as follows:

Definition of adjectival rankings:

Exceptional Exceeds specified performance or capability in a beneficial way to WMATA, and has no weakness.

Acceptable Meets evaluation standards required under the technical provisions. Weaknesses are correctable.

Marginal Fails to meet evaluation standard; however any significant deficiencies are correctable. Lacks essential information to support a proposal.

Unacceptable Fails to meet an acceptable evaluation standard and the deficiency is uncorrectable. Proposal would have to undergo a major revision to become acceptable. Demonstrated lack of understanding of WMATA’s requirements or omissions of major areas.

A rating of “Acceptable” or higher is required to be eligible for award consideration. Offerors are cautioned to be aware of this standard when preparing proposals.

DEFINITIONS FOR TECHNICAL EVALUATION

Clarifications: Communications with an offeror for the sole purpose of eliminating minor irregularities, informalities, or apparent clerical mistakes in the proposal. Unlike discussions, clarifications do not give the offeror an opportunity to revise or modify its proposal, except to the extent that correction of apparent clerical mistake results in revisions.

Discussions: Oral or written communications including negotiations between the

Authority and an offeror (other than clarifications) that; involves information essential for determining the acceptability of the proposal or to cure identified defects in the proposal.

Deficiencies: Defects in the proposal which preclude acceptance. Involves any part of the Offeror’s proposal which would not satisfy the Authority’s minimum requirements established in the solicitation. Included failures to meet specifications, submit information, or questionable technical or management approaches. Items disclosed during discussions, evaluated in two categories: material-basis for rejection because further discussions would be meaningless; curable –may be corrected by clarifications or discussions and brought into the competitive range.

Weakness: Includes ambiguities, lack of complete descriptions, errors in interpretation, omissions of essential information, inadequate information, all of which are considered curable in discussions. An excessive number of clarifications may in itself constitute a weakness.

Strengths: Elements of the proposal that meet or exceed the minimum requirements of the solicitation and provide an identified benefit to the Authority
