EVALUATION OF AWARD

One firm fixed price contract will be awarded based on a best value evaluation.

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. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1 - Past Performance on Similar Projects Factor 2 – Qualification and Experience Factor 3 – Price

Technical and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important when compared to price

(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)

The offeror must have at minimum a Certified General Real Estate Appraiser License in the State of Colorado. Offerors shall submit a copy of their appraisal license.

Part II – PRICE

Factor 3: Price

Price proposals will not be point scored or adjectivally rated. The price proposal will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness. As applicable, reasonableness will be determined considering the offered prices in comparison with current market prices and other competitive prices received. Unrealistically low or high proposed prices may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from consideration on the basis that the Offeror either does not understand the requirement or has made an unrealistic offer. Prices will be used in conjunction with the technical evaluation to determine the overall best value to the Government.
