L.4 GENERAL PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS

a. General Information: The price proposal and non-price proposals shall be submitted in separate three-ring binders and tabbed appropriately. Binders must be marked as “Volume 1: Price Proposal” and “Volume 2: Non-price Proposal”. Should there be a discrepancy between paper and electronic information, the paper copies shall govern.

b. Elaborate brochures or other presentations beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are not desired. Elaborate artwork and expensive visual or other presentation aids are not necessary. Organization, clarity, accuracy of information, relevance, and completeness are of prime importance.

c. The signature of the Offeror provided in Box 17 of the SF33 agrees, if this offer is accepted within 180 calendar days from the date of receipt of offers specified as the due date in Box 9 of the SF33 or any extended due date, to furnish any or all items upon which the prices are offered at the price set opposite each item, delivered at the designated point(s), within the time specified in the schedule.

L.5 EVALUATION FACTORS

1. The solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-price factors:

Factor 1– Corporate Experience Factor 2 – Technical Approach/Management Approach Factor 3 – Safety Factor 4– Small Business Utilization

Factor 5 – Past Performance

The distinction between experience and past performance is that experience pertains to the volume of work completed by a contractor that are comparable to the types of work described under the definition of recent, relevant projects, in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Past performance pertains to both the relevance of recent efforts and how well a contractor has performed on the contracts.

2. The relative order of importance of the non-price evaluation factors is the technical factors, 1, 2, and 4 are the most important and of equal importance to each other, respectively, and factor 3 is of lesser importance. All technical factors combined (Factors 1 through 4), are equal in importance to the past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment Factor 5. When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and past performance/performance confidence assessment factor combined (i.e., the non-price evaluation factors) are approximately equal to price.

The importance of price will increase if the Offeror’s non-price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non-price proposal’s superiority to the Government. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror(s) whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered.
