(c) "Demand for negotiation." (1) At any time, subject to the limitations specified in this clause, either the Contracting Officer or the Contractor may deliver to the other a written demand that the parties negotiate to revise the prices under this contract.

(2) No such demand shall be made before 90 days after the date of this contract, and thereafter neither party shall make a demand having an effective date within 90 days of the effective date of any prior demand. However, this limitation does not apply to a wage adjustment during the 90 day period.

(3) Each demand shall specify a date (the same as or subsequent to the date of the delivery of the demand) as to when the revised prices shall be effective. This date is the effective date of the price revision.

(i) If the Contractor makes a demand under this clause, the demand shall briefly state the basis of the demand and include the statements and data referred to in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(5) Any other relevant data usually furnished in the case of negotiations of prices under a new contract. The Government may examine and audit the Contractor's accounts, records, and books as the Contracting Officer considers necessary.

(e) "Negotiations." (1) Upon the filing of the statements and data required by paragraph (d) of this clause, the Contractor and the Contracting Officer shall negotiate promptly in good faith to agree upon prices for services the Contractor will perform on and after the effective date of the price revision.

(2) If the prices in this contract were established by competitive negotiation, they shall not be revised upward unless justified by changes in conditions occurring after the contract was awarded.

(3) The agreement reached after each negotiation will be incorporated into the contract by supplemental agreement.

(f) "Disagreements." If, within 30 days after the date on which statements and data are required pursuant to paragraph (c) of this clause, the Contracting Officer and the Contractor fail to agree to revised prices, the failure to agree shall be resolved in accordance with the Disputes clause of this contract. The prices fixed by the Contracting Officer will remain in effect for the balance of the contract, and the Contractor shall continue performance.

(4) In case of disagreement concerning any question of fact, including whether any adjustment should be made, or the amount of such adjustment, the disagreement will be resolved in accordance with the Disputes clause of this contract.

(5) The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing of any request by or on behalf of the employees of the Contractor which may result in a retroactive wage adjustment. The notice shall be given within 20 days after the request, or if the request occurs before contract execution, at the time of execution.

(2) Required shipping date;

(3) Special handling and discharge requirements;

52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items OCT 2014

ADDENDUM 52.212-2

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

Paragraphs (d) and (e) are added to read as follows:

(a) The Government will award one contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered:

The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

A. Factor I - Technical (Acceptable/Unacceptable)

(1) Subfactor 1 – Technical Worksheet B. Factor II - Price (Fair and Reasonable/Not Fair and Reasonable)

(b) A written notice of award or acceptance of an quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quote's specified expiration time, the government may accept an quote (or part of an quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(c) Basis for contract award - This acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part’s 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, Subpart 13.5 and Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Quotes will be evaluated using the factors identified in FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items and this addendum. Noncompliance may be grounds to eliminate the quote from consideration for contract award.

Award will be made in accordance with (IAW) FAR 15.101-2, Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Source Selection Process. Specifically, by submitting a quote the quoter understands and accedes to all the terms and conditions of this solicitation. Specifically, the evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

Following the RFQ closing date, quotes will be checked for compliance with Quote Preparation Instructions in Addendum to FAR 52.212-1(b). Failure to materially comply with all Quote Preparation Instructions will result in the quote being found noncompliant with the solicitation. Noncompliance may be grounds to eliminate the quote from evaluation and consideration for contract award.

Next, Technical Worksheets of all compliant quotes will be evaluated by the Technical Team and receive a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable. In order to be rated as Acceptable, the Technical Quote must provide sufficient detail identifying how the Quoter intends to meet the Government’s minimum requirements as stated in paragraph (d)(1) below. Quotes deemed Unacceptable are those that fail to meet the Government’s minimum requirements.

Following the technical evaluation, all technically acceptable quotes shall be placed in order of lowest to highest Total Proposed Price (TPP). Beginning with the technically acceptable quote with the lowest TPP, the Government will then evaluate pricing as proposed in Attachment 2, Schedule of Rates Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet to determine fair and reasonableness using one or more techniques set forth in FAR 15.404-1(b)(2). Additionally, IAW FAR 15-404- 1(g), the Government will review the proposed prices to determine if unbalanced pricing exists. If proposed prices are unbalanced, this will be noted and the risk to the Government will be considered in making the source selection decision. In Accordance With (IAW) FAR 15.404-1(g)(3), if the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government, the quote may be rejected and not considered for further for award. If it is determined the technically acceptable quote with the lowest TPP has fair and reasonable prices and balanced pricing (or if unbalanced pricing exists that it does not pose an unacceptable risk), the Government will complete a responsibility determination IAW the criteria specified in FAR 9.104-1. If found responsible, the evaluation process stops at this point as that quote represents the best value to the Government. Award shall be made to that quoter without further consideration of any other quotes.

If the technically acceptable quote with the lowest ranked TPP is determined not to have fair and reasonable prices, unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government or if the quoter is unable to be found responsible, the technically acceptable quote with the next lowest TPP will be evaluated in accordance with the paragraph above.

This process will continue for any technically acceptable quotes in order of ascending TPP until an quote is judged to have an acceptable technical rating, fair and reasonable prices, balanced pricing (of if unbalanced pricing exists that it does not pose an unacceptable risk) and the quoter is deemed responsible; or until all technically acceptable quotes have been evaluated.

If all technically acceptable quotes are not awardable based on the initial evaluation process above or any quoters were found not to be compliant, technically acceptable or to have fair and reasonable and balanced pricing, then the Source Selection Authority (SSA) will determine whether it is in the Government's best interest to enter into discussions. If the SSA determines to enter into discussions, a competitive range will be established IAW FAR 15.306(c). The source selection team will complete the discussion process, request final quote revisions, and document final evaluation results IAW DOD Source Selection procedures for those quoters determined to be within the competitive range. After the evaluation of the final quote revisions, the SSA will make a selection of the best-value quote consistent with the stated evaluation criteria unless it is in the Government’s best interest not to award a contract.

The Contracting Officer at any time may inquire about any quote if additional information or a revised quote is required. The Contracting Officer may inquire about all, none, or as many quotes as needed, however, the Contracting Officer shall treat all quoters fairly and impartially, in accordance with FAR 1.102-2(c)(3).

The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

1. Factor I: Technical.

Quoter’s Technical Quote will be evaluated as Acceptable or Unacceptable, as defined below. Statements that the quoter understands, can or will comply with the PWS; statements paraphrasing the PWS or parts thereof; flowcharts simply listing activities related to performance of the PWS; and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed’ or “well known techniques will be used,” etc., will be considered unacceptable.

RATING DESCRIPTION

Acceptable Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation

Technical Quote. To be rated Acceptable, the quote must provide a completed Technical Worksheet (Attachment 4) which clearly describes in sufficient detail how the quoter will achieve the objectives in the worksheet in accordance with the Performance Work Statement as defined by the minimum requirements listed in the Technical Worksheet (Attachment 4). The Government will evaluate the quoters response to each item in the worksheet to determine if the quoter adequately demonstrates the capability to successfully conduct Stevedoring & Related Terminal Services.

If any of the minimum requirements in the Technical Worksheet (Attachment 4) is rated as Unacceptable, the entire Technical Worksheet will be rated as Unacceptable. Failure to complete the Technical Worksheet in its entirety may result in an quote being ineligible for award. See Technical Worksheet for specifics.

2. Factor II: Price.
