52.212-2 ADDENDUM

Regional Contracting Office, Camp Pendleton, CA, is issuing Request For Quotation (RFQ) to heavy duty loading ramp. This procurement is conducted in accordance with FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) utilizing FAR Part 13 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures).

Incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2023-04, effective 06/02/23 and DFARS Change Notice (DCN) 06/09/23, effective 06/09/23.

BASIS FOR AWARD. Award will be the capability of the quoter to meet or exceed the technically specifications and best pricing determined to be fair and reasonable. The resulting award will be a Firm-Fixed Priced purchase order, all or none, to provide heavy duty loading ramp.

EVALUATION. The Government intends to make a single Firm Fixed Price award to satisfy this requirement.

Award will be made on the initial evaluation of quotes received in response to this RFQ. Therefore, quoters are cautioned to ensure that initial quotes contain your best terms from a technical and price standpoint. The following factors will be used to evaluate quotes:

1. TECHNICAL: Minimum specifications:

Portable single unit heavy duty loading ramp Fork entries accesible from both sides and compatable with standard 30k forklift.

Lift points: Minimum four (4) lifting points for overhead transport of the ramp.

Weight capacity: Minimum 100,000 pounds.

Overall weight: Maximum 15,000 pounds to allow transport by vehicles as light as 15k forklift.

Overall Height: 45” inches with mechanism for precision height adjustment to match railcar height.

Overall length: Minimum 20’ feet, 0” inches and Maximum 24’ feet, 0” inches.

Overall width: 11’ feet, 0” inches Traction: Steel grating Landing: Landing at top portion of ramp for ease of transition to and from railcar.

Approach: Maximum transition height from ground to the approaching end of the ramp to be 5” inches for ease of entry and exit.

Center cutout at approach: 64” inches wide and 21” inches long to ensure rail tracks are not damaged by the ramp.

Center cutout at top landing: 40” inches wide and 18” inches long to ensure space for the pretruding railcar coupler at point where ramp meets railcar.

(Sufficient information shall be provided to support capability to meet the required brand name products and services requested, to include but not limited to, product literature, product number, authorized service provider letter, etc…)

Rating will be in accordance with: Rating Description Acceptable Quotation meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quotation does not meet the requirement of the solicitation

2. PRICE: All quotes must be the Contractor’s Best Pricing. Price analysis shall be used to verify that the overall price offered is fair and reasonable. The Offeror shall input the unit price and total in all the line items present in the SF1449. The total evaluated price is calculated using the prices proposed for all line items.

3. EVALUATION PROCESS: The evaluation will proceed as follows:

Step 1 – The Contracting Officer will review offers to determine if each offeror has submitted a responsive quote. To be responsive, quoters must submit all the documentation identified above, by the RFQ close date/time shown in block 8 of the SF1449. A quote may be eliminated from the competition without further consideration if it does not meet the responsiveness requirements.

Step 2 – Quotes that have been determined responsive will then be evaluated and receive a rating of

Acceptable or Unacceptable based on the technical acceptability criteria above. Offerors must receive an “Acceptable” rating on each technical element to be determined technically “Acceptable”.

Step 3 – Remaining technically acceptable quotes will be ranked in in order from lowest to highest based on submitted CLIN prices. All CLIN prices will be evaluated and determined to be fair and reasonable using one or more of the techniques set forth in FAR 15.404-1(b)(2). The assessment of price will consider the overall quoted price. Quotes containing only partial pricing will not be evaluated.

Step 4 – The three lowest price, technically acceptable quotes will be reviewed for delivery acceptability in accordance with terms specified above. Those Offerors that do quote delivery or period of performance as requested will not be evaluated.

Step 5 – If the three lowest price, technically acceptable quotes are judged to have an

“acceptable” delivery, those quotes represent the best value for the government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to the lowest quoter without further consideration of any other quotes. If the Government cannot assess acceptable delivery among the initial three lowest price, technically acceptable quotes, it may (at the Contracting Officer’s discretion) conduct an assessment on the next higher priced quotes until one or more selections can be made.

The Government reserves the right to award no contract, depending on the quality of the quotes submitted and availability of funds for the requirement. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a single contract without requesting or accepting revised quotes. Therefore, the Offerors will be advised that their initial quote should contain the most favorable terms and reflect it’s best possible performance potential. The Government does reserve the right to clarify aspects of the quotes and hold discussions.
