1. Cover letter & SF33

2. Completed Form D

3. Two Letters of Reference and Bank Guarantee Acknowledgement

The technical offers will be considered acceptable if all the required documentation listed in chart A is properly submitted, complete, accurate, current, and relevant in accordance with the requirements of the solicitation.

The technical evaluation will be completed in advance of receipt of pricing.

(2) Basis of Evaluation:

The Government’s evaluation of price will be based on the total price. The successful offeror will be the one offering the price that is determined to be the lowest cost calculated by multiplying time band unit prices by energy consumption expected in the relevant time band, then totaling the results of all the different time bands. Analysis will be performed by one or more of the following techniques to ensure a fair and reasonable price:

(i) Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the RFP.

(ii) Comparison of proposed prices with the Independent Government Estimate.
