(1) FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION-COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

PROPOSALS SHALL BE EVALUATED USING THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:

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 two (2) following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

FACTOR (1) PAST PERFORMANCE:

The offeror shall identify at least two (2) relevant (construction, overhaul, repair and alteration of ships) and current federal, state or local government or private contracts performed during the last three (3) years. For each contract, list:

a. Contract number and customer point of contact (including two (2) points of contact

b. With telephone numbers)

e. Required completion date for the contract

f. Date the services were actually completed

g. Ship Name, Hull Number

h. Contract type (FFP, IDIQ, Requirement, Cost Type)

i. Percentage of growth in contract price (Additional work divided by award price)

If subcontracting arrangement is proposed, the above data must also be provided for each first tier subcontractor. If a joint effort or teaming arrangement is proposed, highlight previous experience with the proposed team or subcontractor.

The past performance evaluation will take into account the guidelines outlined at FAR 15.305(a)(2) Past Performance Evaluation. The Contractor’s past performance will be evaluated according to the following factors and questions:

· Quality of Product or Service Did the customer get what was specified?

Did the customer consider the final product high in quality?

If warranty issues arose, were they promptly corrected?

· Schedule Was the contract completed on time? If not, reason why not (growth work, Contractor delayed, government delayed?)

· Business Relations How was the customer service? Was the Contractor committed to customer satisfaction?

Would you use this company again (Why/Why not)?

· Management of Key Personnel Were subcontracts involved? Comments?

In evaluating Contractors past performance, the government intends to also review U.S. Coast Guard Contractor Performance Assessment Reports and other existing past performance ratings on relevant contracts. General trends in a Contractor’s performance will also be considered.

FACTOR (2) PRICE:

Offeror’s price shall represent the best price in response to the request for proposals. The price shall be evaluated to determine fairness and reasonableness. The contracting officer will also calculate the foreseeable cost of transporting the USCGC WYACONDA to offeror’s commercial shipyard. Foreseeable costs will be calculated for the purpose of price evaluation only.

****Past Performance is more important than Price**** Award may be made without any type of discussions or negotiations. This is based on the Contracting Officer’s determination after an evaluation has been completed on all offers.
