5. Volume II – Factor 2: Past Performance.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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 yellow shaded cells in column ‘G’ of the Pricing Sheet. Be sure to complete all yellow shaded cells for each SLIN under the CLIN(s).

Note: Attachment 2 is an excel file that contains a tab/worksheet titled “Hohenfels DC 2022‐2026”. Complete for all yellow shaded cells in the “Hohenfels DC 2022‐2026” worksheet.

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, 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:

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 of this provision and the evaluation factors 52.212‐2.

(End of Addendum to FAR 52.212‐1)

52.212-1

52.212-2 ADDENDUM – EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS & COMMERICAL SERVICES

(NOV 2021)

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

a. Offerors shall submit a proposal for Hohenfels Daily Commute (DC). The Government will evaluate the complete proposal 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 the following three (3) Factors and 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

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 more important than Price (Factor 3). All Technical Capability (Factor 1) Subfactors are of equal importance. The compete evaluation criteria is outlined below:

Evaluation Factors:

Factor 1: Technical Capability

The Offeror shall complete Attachment 5 in order to address Factor 1: Technical Capability. The Government will evaluate the Technical Capability Factor using the three 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 technical data for the vehicles proposed by evaluating all the mandatory or non-mandatory fill-in fields for Subfactor 1 of the tables provided in Attachment 5 (Technical Capability) in accordance with the PWS requirements. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s capability to successfully perform the requirement with its proposed vehicles in accordance with the PWS performance objectives, tasks, and standards as expressed in the PWS. Any part of the proposal that exceeds the PDF fillable sections under Attachment 5 of any of the mandatory or non-mandatory fields will not be evaluated.

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s vehicle capabilities identified in Attachment 5 (Technical Capability) to determine the Offeror’s ability to provide vehicles that will best meet the requirements specified in section 3.3 of the PWS (Attachment 1) for the bus routes. 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 (*) in Attachment 5 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 specification identified in Attachment 5 or as otherwise stated by the Offeror as an additional specification. 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 (Required for Special Needs vehicles).

1D. Any other offeror proposed equipment which exceeds the minimum specification 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 identified 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 or non-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 Attachment 5 of any of the mandatory fields will not be evaluated.

3A. Objective 3/Task One: Scheduled Co-Curricular - Scheduled Curricular (PWS Para. 2.3.1)

3B. Objective 3/Task Two: Co-Curricular transportation requirements (PWS Para. 2.3.2)

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/or 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 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 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 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 reserves 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, will be evaluated to determine if it is fair and reasonable in accordance with the techniques and procedures stated in FAR Subpart 15.404-1.

(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 not provide a Unit Price; Offerors should only fill-in (complete) the yellow shaded cells in column ‘G’ of the Pricing Sheet. For evaluation purposes, the same Unit Price for Option Year Two (2), shall be considered in the evaluation for this option.
