Times New Roman, not less than 12-point font

The Offeror must clearly demonstrate in a separate proposal for each Zone they are providing a proposal for. The

Offeror shall complete Attachment 5 for each Zone being proposed in order to address Factor 1: Technical

Capability.

This factor evaluates the offeror’s proposed buses and the capability to accomplish the technical requirements outlined in the PWS as they relate to the below criteria. The Technical Proposal shall provide sufficient information in order for the Government to assess the Offeror’s capability to successfully perform the requirement in accordance with the performance objectives, tasks, and standards as expressed in the PWS. A rating of “Unacceptable” for any subfactor will result in the proposal being deemed Technically Unacceptable and not being considered for contract award.

If the Offeror’s proposal is for one or all Zones, then all four (4) Sub-factors of Attachment 5 must be completed with the Technical proposal submission.

The offeror shall address the following subfactors as follows:

Subfactor 1 – Vehicles Specification: This subfactor is a mandatory Fill-In for all Technical Proposals

(Volume I).

In order to meet the requirements of subfactor 1, the Offeror must complete all of the mandatory fill-in fields of the table provided in Attachment 5 (Technical Capability) to provide technical specification which clearly demonstrate that’s its offered vehicles meet the requirement of PWS paragraph 3.3. Do not exceed the PDF fillable sections of any of the mandatory or non-mandatory fields. All Technical Capability responses must conform to the formatted fields provided at Attachment 5. Only complete rows that apply (i.e., are used). E.g., if an Offeror requires only three (3) rows are sufficient to list all the makes/models/years of vehicles in fleet that are proposed for this effort, then only three rows must be completed.

NOTE: The table appearing on pages 1-2 of Attachment 5 contains ten total rows to list Types of Vehicles. If an

Offeror is proposing more than ten types of vehicles to meet this requirement, then additional tables can be provided, however, this is the ONLY exception to the field constraints of Attachment 5 (i.e., no other additional pages may accompany a proposal, e.g., to permit more space to describe the company’s technical approach or capability to address any of the other Technical sub-factors).

Subfactor 2 – Daily Commute (DC) Student Transportation Services (STS): This subfactor is a mandatory

Fill-In for all Technical Proposals (Volume I).

In order to meet the requirements of subfactor 2, the Offeror must complete all of the mandatory fill-in fields of the table provided in Attachment 5 (Technical Capability) to provide the Offeror’s technical approach and capability in accordance with the PWS requirements for each Objective below.

Objective 1/Task One: Contract Management – STS Program Management and Operations (PWS Para.

2.1.1)

Objective 2/Task One: STS - Student Transportation (PWS Para. 2.2.1)

Objective 2/Task Two: STS – Safety Procedures (PWS Para. 2.2.2)

Subfactor 3 - Scheduled Curricular and Scheduled Co-Curricular: This subfactor is a mandatory Fill-In only for Technical Proposals (Volume I).

In order to meet the requirements of subfactor 3, the Offeror must complete all of the mandatory fill-in fields of the table provided in Attachment 5 (Technical Capability) to provide the Offeror’s technical approach and capability in accordance with the PWS for each Objective below:

Objective 3/Task One: Scheduled Curricular - Scheduled Curricular and Co-Curricular transportation requirements (PWS Paragraph 2.3.1)

In order to meet the requirements of subfactor 4, the Offeror must complete all of the mandatory fill-in fields of the table provided in Attachment 5 (Technical Capability) to identify short-term and long-term risks while executing the requirements and describe their plan(s) for mitigating risks identified.

5. Volume II – Factor 2: Past Performance.

The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the Offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements based on the Offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of how well the Offeror performed on previous contracts. The Government will review the information collected, to include, but not limited to the Past Performance Questionnaires (Attachment 3) to determine the quality of the Offeror’s overall record of recent and relevant past performance.

Offeror shall submit past performance information on at least two (2), but not more than five (5), recent contracts for the prime and subcontractors (performing as the Prime on that effort) to determine the recency and relevancy of the Offeror’s performance. 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 and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. The relevancy analysis will focus on if the Offeror has provided bus transportation services similar in scope, magnitude of effort, and complexities.

Past Performance information submitted that is not recent (more than 3 years) 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 proposal 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 (PPQ), Attachment 3, 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.

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 proposal.

6. Volume III – Factor 3: Price.

This factor will not be assigned a rating for this factor. However, the offeror’s proposal(s) will be evaluated for completeness, price fairness and reasonableness, and balancing of prices based upon the offeror’s priced proposal(s) using the Pricing Sheet(s) (Attachment 2) as follows:

a. Completeness. Attachment 2 must be complete for each Sub-contract Line Item (SLIN) within each

Contract Line Item (CLIN) the Offeror proposes. Offerors should only fill-in (complete) the shaded cells in column(s) ‘F’ of the Pricing Sheet(s), and be sure to complete all shaded cells for each SLIN with the

CLIN(s) being proposed.

NOTE: Attachment 2 is an Excel file that contains four (4) tabs or pricing spreadsheets – one pricing tab/sheet to be completed for each Zone an Offeror proposes.

b. Price Fairness & Reasonableness. Shall be evaluated using the techniques and procedures stated in FAR

15.404-1.

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.

7. Volume IV: Representations and Certifications

The Offeror shall complete Attachment 6 (to include Contractor filled-in Enclosures 1 through 5, any applicable Subcontractor/Teaming Agreement, and the Offeror Responsibility Determination) in order to address Factor IV: Representations and Certifications.

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 proposal 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. If the

Government determines that discussions are necessary, a competitive range will be established. 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 may award a single contract or multiple contracts from this solicitation. For example, DoDEA may issue a single award, if an Offeror is awarded each and every Zone contained in this solicitation, as deemed to offer the overall Best Value to the government, OR if one Offeror is determined to have made the Best

Value offer in any one (1) particular Zone, and another Offeror is determined the same for the remaining Zones sought in this solicitation, then DoDEA may issue more than one (1), i.e., one of more awarded contracts accordingly from this same solicitation. DoDEA will determine the feasibility and best value of awarding all CLIN requirements to one Offeror or awarding the separated Zone requirements to more than one Offeror according the criteria this provision and the evaluation factors 52.212-2.

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

(End of Addendum to FAR 52.212-1)

52.212-2 ADDENDUM – EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

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

a. This acquisition will be conducted in accordance with FAR Parts 12 and 15.

The Government anticipates awarding one (1) or more Firm-Fixed Price (FFP), Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite

Quantity (IDIQ) contract(s) to the Offeror(s) using the Best Value Continuum source selection approach, in accordance with FAR Part 15.101-1 (Trade-off Process). The resultant IDIQ contract(s) will only be awarded to

Offeror(s) who are deemed responsible in accordance with FAR Part 9 and whose proposals conform to the solicitation, and will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government reserves the right to make one or multiple awards for each Zone to Offerors making the best value offer to the

Government.

This solicitation covers two (2) Zones. Offerors can submit a proposal for one or all Zones. Offerors should not be penalized for not providing a proposal for fewer than all two Zones. The Government will evaluate each of the two

Zones separately and award to the Offeror making the best value offer to the Government.

By submission of its proposal, the Offeror agrees to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in a proposal being determined unacceptable for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

To make the best value award decision, the Government will evaluate three (3) factors, Technical Capability, Past

Performance, and Price. The Technical Capability factor is more important than the Past Performance factor. The non-price factors when combined are more important than price. All of the Technical Capability subfactors are of equal importance.

The Government shall evaluate according to the Best Value Continuum and the provisions in this solicitation, according to the instructions at 52.212-1 and the addendum to 52.212-1.

Evaluation Factors:

a. Factor 1: Technical Capability.

i. Subfactor 1 – Vehicles Specification. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s technical specifications which clearly demonstrate that its offered vehicles meet the requirements of the PWS.

ii. Subfactor 2 – Daily Commute (DC) Student Transportation Services (STS). The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s technical approach and capability in accordance with the PWS requirements for each

Objective below:

Objective 1/Task One: Contract Management – STS Program Management and Operations

(PWS Para. 2.1.1)

Objective 2/Task One: STS - Student Transportation (PWS Para. 2.2.1)

Objective 2/Task Two: STS – Safety Procedures (PWS Para. 2.2.2)

iii. Subfactor 3 – Scheduled Curricular and Scheduled Co-Curricular. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s technical approach and capability in accordance with the PWS requirements for each

Objective below:

Objective 3/Task One: Scheduled Curricular - Scheduled Curricular and Co-Curricular transportation requirements (PWS Paragraph 2.3.1)

Objective 3/Task Two: Scheduled Co-Curricular Scheduled Curricular and Co-Curricular transportation requirements (PWS Paragraph 2.3.2)

iv. Subfactor 4 – Risk Plans: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s identified short-term and long-term risks for executing the requirements, as well as their plan(s) for mitigating the risks identified.

Technical Capability Rating Evaluation Process:

The technical rating includes consideration of strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings. The Technical Capability Factor will be rated in accordance with the following Adjective Rating Method:

Combined Technical/Risk Capability Rating Method

Adjectival Rating Description

Outstanding

Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Good

Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Acceptable

Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable

Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable.

Factor 2: Past Performance. In assessing the Offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements, evaluation of past performance will result in Past Performance Recency, Relevancy, and Overall Ratings as follows:

Recency Assessment. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent according:

Past Performance Recency Ratings

Adjectival Rating Description

Recent The effort must be ongoing or must have been completed within the last three (3) years by the closing date and time of this solicitation.

Not Recent The effort has been completed for more than three (3) years by the closing date and time of this solicitation.

Relevancy Assessment. The Government will determine how relevant the effort accomplished by the Offeror is to the effort to be acquired through the solicitation. The Government is not bound by the Offeror’s assessment of relevancy. To be relevant, the Offeror must demonstrate that performance involved similar scope, magnitude of effort, and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevancy will be rated in accordance with the following Rating method:

Past Performance Relevancy

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

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

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

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

Past Performance Overall Rating. The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the Offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. The Government will review the information collected, to include, but not limited to the Past Performance Questionnaire, Attachment 3, to determine the quality of the Offeror’s overall record of recent and relevant past performance. Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable

Rating method:

Past Performance Confidence Assessment

Acceptable

Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable

Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral

An Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered

“acceptable.”

In addition to past performance information submitted by the Offeror and Questionnaires completed for the Offeror, past performance information may be obtained from Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting

System (eSRS), or other databases; the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program

Managers, Contracting Officers, or other sources known to the government.

In evaluating past performance, the Government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those individual contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this RFP. The Government also reserves the right to give greater consideration to an individual Offeror’s past performance information rather than the combined past performance information of an Offeror and its associates using teaming arrangements.

Offerors without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or is so sparse that a past performance rating cannot be reasonably assigned will not be evaluated favorably nor unfavorably on past performance and as a result, will receive a “Neutral” rating for the Past Performance factor.

If the Government chooses to conduct negotiations, Offerors will be provided an opportunity to address any adverse past performance information not previously addressed. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information which supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation aspect or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system.

The Government may reject a proposal if it is found that the Offeror deleted, misrepresented, or withheld any information that might have a negative impact on its past performance record.

Factor 3: Price. This factor will not be assigned a rating. However, the Offeror’s proposal(s) will be evaluated for completeness, fair and reasonable pricing, and balancing of prices based upon the Offeror’s priced proposal(s) using the Pricing Sheet(s) at Attachment 2 as follows:

Completeness. Attachment 2 must be complete for each Sub-contract Line Item (SLIN) within each

Contract Line Item (CLIN) the Offeror proposes.

Fair & Reasonable Pricing. Shall be evaluated using the techniques and procedures stated in FAR 15.404-1.

(b) Addendum to Paragraph (b). Paragraph (b) is changed to read as follows

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.
