F. EVALUATION FACTORS, RATINGS AND BASIS OF AWARD:

1. Award will be made to the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quote that meets or exceeds the acceptability standards for non-price factors (e.g. Technical). Technical factors must be rated as acceptable in order to evaluate the price factor. For example, if all of the technical factors are rated as acceptable, price will then be evaluated. However, if one or more of the technical factors are rated as unacceptable; the evaluation process stops and award cannot be made to that offeror. If all offerors are rated technically acceptable, award will be made to that offeror with the lowest priced technically acceptable quote. This will end the evaluation process. The Government intends to make award without discussions, however, clarifications may be necessary

2. Evaluation Factors are as follows:

a. Total Price

b. Technical

i. Qualified personnel

ii. 24/7 response

iii. Respond to anywhere in the declared area

c. Past performance

3. Evaluation Factors and Submittal Requirements:

a. The Government will evaluate price to determine whether the offered price is fair and reasonable, realistic for work to be performed, and reflects a clear understanding of the solicitation requirements. Price will be the factor in making the final determination for award.

b. Analysis of price will be performed in accordance with FAR 15.404-1 to determine completeness, reasonableness, and understanding of requirement

c. Offerors must submit complete Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN) with unit price, quantity, and total pricing on the Pricing Schedule above.

4. Technical:

a. Qualified Personnel - Offeror must submit in writing their ability to meet or exceed the required number of qualified personnel – 12 interpreters and 6 CART writers (see SOW for specific qualifications required).

b. 24/7 Response - Offeror must submit in writing their ability to respond 24 hours a day 7 days a week (24/7) when given a 24 hour notice.

c. Respond to anywhere in the declared area - Offeror must submit in writing their ability to respond anywhere within the declared area (see SOW for a list of declared parishes).

d. Past Performance - Name at three projects completed in the last three years that are similar in size, scope, and complexity in which you provided Sign language and CART services.

List three references to include contact name and phone number.

5. Ratings:

a. Price: will be evaluated for reasonableness and completeness

b. Technical: Technical Capability will be evaluated using the technical evaluation rating criteria set forth below to determine the most qualified source from a technical standpoint.

An objective technical evaluation will be performed on each technical proposal based solely on the information furnished and not on previous knowledge or associations. The technical evaluation will result in a score of Acceptable or Unacceptable:

• Acceptable: expected to meets or exceed the requirement.

• Unacceptable: is not expected to meet the requirements

c. Past Performance will be evaluated to determine if the Past Performance listed is similar to the requirement being requested in this RFQ. The following rating will be used for Past Performance:

• Pass: Based on the offeror’s past performance record, essentially no doubt exists that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

• Neutral: The offeror has no relevant past performance

• Fail: Based on the offeror’s past performance record, it is not likely that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

In addition to contacting references, the Government reserves the right to check outside sources and systems such as the Contractor Performance Assessment and Reporting System (CPARS) and the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS).
