The past performance evaluation is a comparative assessment of the Offeror’s ability to successfully perform the contract 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 the 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 Contractor Performance

Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) 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. However, the Offeror shall ensure in Attachment 2, issued in two (2) separate Unit of Issue versions (“Days” and “Run”), that each Sub-contract Line Item (SLIN) listed under each

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

Note: Attachment 2 (both Days and Run versions) is an excel file that contains four (4) tabs. Fill in the tabs titled, “Daily Commute,” “Special Needs,” and “Communication.” The tab titled “Summary” will automatically populate.

The Government reserves the right to make an award with the Unit of Issue in either “Days” or “Run.”

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.”

Under this table, the contractor will provide a Unit Price for each CLIN Description using the same Unit Price for the last year completed performance. 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 completed performance.

7. Volume IV: Representations and Certifications

The Offeror shall complete Attachment 6 (to include Contractor completed Enclosures 1 through 6, and the Offeror

Responsibility Determination) in order to address Factor IV: Representations and Certifications.

NOTE: An Offeror’s SAM record must be accurate and active by the proposal due date and time to be eligible for any contract award.

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:

DoDEA intends to award a single contract from this solicitation. DoDEA will determine the feasibility and best value of awarding all CLIN requirements to one Offeror according to the criteria in 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. Offerors shall submit a proposal for Vicenza Daily Commute (DC) and Special Needs (SPEN) services. The

Government will evaluate complete proposals and award a single contract to the Offeror proposing the best value offer to the Government.

This acquisition will be conducted in accordance with FAR Parts 12 and 15. The Government anticipates awarding one (1) Firm-Fixed Price (FFP), Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to the Offeror whose proposal, conforming to all the requirements of the solicitation, represents the best value to the Government in accordance with the Trade-off process outlined in FAR Subpart 15.101-1 and the three factors for award listed in this addendum. In addition, any potential awardee will need to be deemed responsible in accordance with requirements of FAR Part 9.

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.

To make the best value award decision, the Government will evaluate each proposal using the following three (3)

Factors and associated Subfactors:

1. Factor 1-Technical Capability

Subfactor 1- Vehicle Capabilities

Subfactor 2 – Daily Commute (DC) Student Transportation Services (STS)

Subfactor 3 - Scheduled Curricular and Scheduled Co-Curricular

Subfactor 4 –Special Education Needs (SPEN) Transportation

Subfactor 5 - Risk Plans

2. Factor 2-Past Performance

3. Factor 3-Price

The relative importance of the evaluation factors is as follows: Technical Capability (Factor 1) is of equal importance as Past Performance (Factor 2). Technical Capability (Factor 1) and Past Performance (Factor 2), when combined, are significantly more important than Price (Factor 3). All Technical Capability (Factor 1) Subfactors are of equal importance. The complete evaluation criteria is outlined below:

Evaluation Factors:

Factor 1: Technical Capability

The Government will evaluate Technical Capability (Factor 1) using the five Technical Capability Subfactors which are all of equal importance.

The Government will evaluate the following Subfactors as follows:

Subfactor 1 – Vehicles Capabilities

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s vehicle capabilities identified in Attachment 5 (Technical Capability) to determine the Offeror’s capability to provide vehicles that will best meet the requirements specified in section 3.3 of the PWS (Attachment 1) for the bus routes provided in Attachment 7. In addition, the Government will assess all provided subcontractor information to determine any additional potential performance risks. Any part of the proposal that exceeds the PDF fillable sections under Attachment 5 of any of the mandatory fields will not be evaluated. Technical Capability (Factor 1) shall solely be evaluated based on the information provided by the

Offeror in Attachment 5.

Any columns with an asterisk (*) identifies specifications that are not a current minimum requirement of the PWS.

Offerors are not required to fill in those columns unless the Offeror wishes to include any of the additional specifications identified in Attachment 5 or as otherwise stated by the Offeror as an additional specification.

However, seat belts are required for Special Needs vehicles. The Government will evaluate any Offeror identified additional specifications to determine if the Offeror’s proposal contains any additional value to the requirements of the PWS. The additional, but not required, specifications are as follows:

1A. GPS

1B. Camera Systems (CCTV)

1C. Seat Belts (However, seat belts are required for Special Needs vehicles.)

1D. Any other Offeror proposed equipment which exceeds the minimum specifications in the PWS.

NOTE: Any specifications proposed that are not within the original requirements of the PWS will be incorporated into the PWS before award.

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. Any part of the proposal that exceeds the PDF fillable sections under

Attachment 5 of any of the mandatory fields will not be evaluated.

2A. Objective 1/Task One: Contract Management – STS Program Management and Operations (PWS Para.

2.1.1)

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

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

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. Any part of the proposal that exceeds the PDF fillable sections under

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

Subfactor 4 –Special Education Needs (SPEN) Transportation Services

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s technical approach and capability in accordance with the PWS requirements for each Objective below. Any part of the proposal that exceeds the PDF fillable sections under

4A. Task One Special Needs Transportation Services (Objective 4 Special Needs Transportation Requirements, PWS Paragraph 2.4.1)

4B. Task Two Safety Aide (Objective 4 Special Needs Transportation Requirements, PWS Paragraph 2.4.2)

4C. Task Three Special Needs Transportation Driver (Objective 4 Special Needs Transportation Requirements, PWS Paragraph 2.4.3)

Subfactor 5 - Risk Plans

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s Driver Shortages short-term and long-term risks and mitigation plans, plus the Offeror’s identified additional short-term and long-term risks as well as the mitigating plan for the Offeror’s identified risks.

5A. Drivers Shortages Short-Term Risks and Mitigating Plan.

5B. Drivers Shortages Long-Term Risks and Mitigating Plan.

5C. Any other Offeror’s identified Short-Term Risks and Mitigating Plan.

5D. Any other Offeror’s identified Long-Term Risks and Mitigating Plan.

The Technical Capability Factor and all Subfactors will be rated in accordance with the following Adjective Rating

Method:

Combined Technical/Risk 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.

A rating of “Unacceptable” or “Marginal” for any Subfactor will result in the proposal being deemed

Technically Unacceptable and not being eligible for contract award.

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 to the following:

Past Performance Recency Ratings

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 not been completed within the last three (3) years of 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 their 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 a comparative assessment of the Offeror’s ability to successfully perform the contract. 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 Confidence assessment will be based on the following Rating method:

Past Performance Confidence Assessment

Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

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

In addition to past performance information submitted by the Offeror and Questionnaires completed for the Offeror, past performance information may be obtained from the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System

(CPARS), 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.

However, the Government reserve the right to make a determination that a “Satisfactory Confidence” past performance rating is worth more than a “Neutral Confidence” past performance rating in a best value tradeoff.

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, using Attachment 2

(both Days & Run versions), will be evaluated to determine if it is fair and reasonable in accordance with the techniques and procedures stated in FAR Subpart15.404-1.

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

Evaluation of Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the base period. The Offeror shall submit pricing for the base period and all option periods. 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).

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.”

Under this table, the Offeror shall provide a Unit Price for each CLIN Description using the same Unit Price for the last year completed performance. 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 completed performance.
