Volume II Factor 2- Past Performance

Volume III Price Quote None

Volume IV Representations and Certifications

Do not simply repeat back verbatim or paraphrase requirements along the lines of “we will do this or that.”

Instead, present your plans that describe or outline how you propose to meet the requirements, and do so in sufficient detail to explain clearly the procedures and processes you will put in place and use. In other words, treat each requirement as a question to be answered with “here’s my approach to do the job.” The Government will evaluate an Offeror’s quote solely on the information provided.

The Offeror shall organize the response as follows:

The Offeror’s quote shall clearly demonstrate its capability to meet the PWS requirements for each subfactor below:

a. Subfactor 1: Objective 1, PWS paragraph 2.1.

b. Subfactor 2: Objective 2, PWS paragraph 2.2.

c. Subfactor 3: Objective 3, PWS paragraph 2.3.

d. Subfactor 4: Objective 4, PWS paragraph 2.4.

5. Volume II – Factor 2: Past Performance.

The past performance evaluation will be an assessment of the Offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements based on the Offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of how well the Offeror performed on previous contracts. Offerors shall submit past performance information on at least two (2), but not more than five (5), recent and relevant contracts for the prime and subcontractors (performing as the Prime on that effort). To be recent, the effort must be on-going or must have been completed within the last three (3) years by the closing date/time of this solicitation. To be relevant, the Offeror must demonstrate that performance involved similar scope, magnitude of effort, and complexities this solicitation requires.

Past Performance information submitted that is not recent and/or not relevant will not be evaluated.

i. Subcontractor/Teaming Information. If an Offeror proposes a teaming arrangement for services, the Offeror (proposed prime Offeror) shall provide past performance information on any subcontractor or teaming arrangement offered.

At a minimum, when a prime Offeror teams with a subcontractor, past performance information relevant to that subcontractor shall be provided on at least one (1) effort. The information required shall be the same as above. Offerors shall include in their quote the written consent of their proposed subcontractor(s) to allow the Government to discuss the subcontractor’s past performance assessment with the Offeror.

ii. Questionnaires. Offerors must send Past Performance Questionnaires, Attachment 5, to their Customers’ points of contact (POCs) and instruct the POCs to complete the questionnaire in English. Offerors shall make their best effort to send out a sufficient number of past performance questionnaires to reasonably expect submission to the contracting officer at least one questionnaire on each cited contract/work effort. The questionnaire recipient should e-mail completed questionnaires directly to the contract specialist listed on the questionnaire. Past Performance Questionnaires are requested to be received in the issuing office by the closing date/time of the solicitation.

It is highly recommended that the questionnaires are sent to the Offeror's POCs at the earliest opportunity so there is sufficient time to complete the questionnaires and send to the Contract Specialist by the due date. The Government reserves the right to not consider past performance questionnaires received after the due date.

iii. The Government reserves the right to obtain information relative to present and past performance on its own, in addition to information provided by the Offeror and from contract and subcontract POCs. If you are aware that one or more of your contracts in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) specifically relates to the requirements in this acquisition, please provide this contract/work effort as one of the past performance submissions with your quote.

6. Volume III: Price Quote.

i. Offerors fully burden price quotes shall be complete, and represent an accurate reflection of the requirement as stated in the PWS.

ii. Offerors shall complete, in its entirety, all unit and extended prices using the Government provided Microsoft Excel Pricing Sheet labeled “Attachment 2” and submit it in both the Excel and pdf format. The Pricing Sheet will establish the maximum unit prices the Offeror may charge for services under the contract.

iii. The Government will not be obligated to pay the Offeror any amount in excess of the prices proposed. Offerors are advised that in the event unit prices multiplied by quantity have been incorrectly calculated, the unit price will govern. The total evaluated price will be considered in making the final best value determination.

iv. To account for the option period(s) possible under FAR 52.217-8 (maximum six months) Option to Extend Services, the Government has provided a table within Attachment 2, labeled “FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services.” The contractor will provide a Unit Price for each CLIN Description. If the Government has to exercise the option under FAR 52.217-8, then the Government will use the rate given for the last year performance was completed.

v. The price quote is presumed to represent the Offeror’s best effort to respond to the solicitation.

Any inconsistency, whether real or apparent, between promised performance and price should be explained in the quote. Any significant inconsistency, if not explained, raises a fundamental issue of the understanding of the nature and scope of the work required.

7. Volume IV: Representations and Certifications

i. Representations and Certifications. Offerors shall complete the representations and certifications in the System for Award Management (SAM) on the website www.sam.gov; or submit the representations and certifications contained in FAR 52.212-3 with their quote. Offerors are reminded that their registration in SAM must be accurate and active by the award date.

ii. Subcontractor/Teaming Agreement. Offeror shall submit a copy of any subcontracting/teaming agreements.

iii. Offerors shall also complete and submit the following necessary fill-in clauses, provision, and certifications contained in the solicitation:

A. 52.209-7 – Information Regarding Responsibility Matters.

C. 52.222-56 Certification Regarding Trafficking in Persons Compliance Plan: Submit Certification in accordance with the instructions written within the Clause.

iv. Offeror Responsibility Determination. (SUBMIT WITH QUOTE)

In accordance with FAR 9.104. (a) Purchases shall be made from, and contracts shall be awarded to, responsible prospective contractors only; (b) No purchase or award shall be made unless the contracting officer makes an affirmative determination of responsibility. In the absence of information clearly indicating that the prospective contractor is responsible, the contracting officer shall make a determination of non-responsibility.

Per FAR 9.104, to be determined responsible, a prospective Offeror must comply with the following general and special standards:

A. General Standards.

1) Have adequate financial resources to perform the contract, or the ability to obtain them.

(submit Dunn and Bradstreet (D&B) Risk Assessment, letter from Offeror’s bank, stating declaration of solvency, line of credit, current available credit, and credit score if applicable etc.);

2) Be able to comply with the required or proposed delivery or performance schedule, taking into consideration all existing commercial and governmental business commitments;

3) Have a satisfactory performance record. A prospective Offeror shall not be determined responsible or non-responsible solely on the basis of a lack of relevant performance history;

4) Have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics (must not be debarred or suspended from doing business with the United States or Host Nation);

5) Have the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them (including, as appropriate, such elements as production control procedures, property control systems, quality assurance measures, and safety programs applicable to materials to be produced or services to be performed by the prospective Offeror and subcontractors (to rent, purchase, or otherwise acquire the needed facilities, equipment, other resources, or personnel);

6) Have the necessary production, construction, and technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them (to rent, purchase, or otherwise acquire the needed facilities, equipment, other resources, or personnel);

7) Be otherwise qualified and eligible to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations; and

B. Special Standards. Be an operational business with the capability to provide bus driver services on a regular basis on established routes.

Addendum to Paragraph (c). Paragraph (c) is changed to read as follows:

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The Offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 120 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

Addendum to Paragraphs (d) & (e). Paragraphs (d) & (e) are deleted in its entirety.

Addendum to Paragraph (g) Contract award. Paragraph (g) is changed to read as follows:

The Government intends to award without discussions. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial quote should contain the Offeror’s best approach/terms for technical, past performance, and price. However, despite this intent, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Government determines they are necessary. In the event issues pertaining to this award cannot be resolved to the Government's satisfaction, the Government reserves the right to withdraw and cancel the solicitation. In such event, Offerors will be notified in writing.

Addendum to Paragraph (h). Paragraph (h) is changed to read as follows:

Multiple awards. DoDEA intends to award a single contract from this solicitation. Offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified.

Addendum to Paragraph (i). Paragraph (i) is deleted in its entirety.

(End of Addendum to FAR 52.212-1) I would get rid of this sentence. The previous sentence says the same thing and we’ve decided to get rid of any geographical references. The government can still reasonably determine that a reference for car transportation services in South America is not relevant.
