(End of Clause)

A.8 NFS 1832.705-270 NASA CLAUSES FOR LIMITATION OF COST OR FUNDS.

(a) Of the total price of services, the sum of $_TBD_ is presently available for payment and allotted to this contract.

It is anticipated that from time to time additional funds will be allocated to the contract in accordance with the following schedule, until the total price of said items is allotted:

(b) The Contractor agrees to perform or have performed work on the services specified in paragraph (a) of this clause up to the point at which, if this contract is terminated pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract, the total amount payable by the Government (including amounts payable for subcontracts and settlement costs) pursuant to paragraphs (f) and (g) of that clause would, in the exercise of reasonable judgment by the Contractor, approximate the total amount at the time allotted to the contract. The Contractor is not obligated to continue performance of the work beyond that point. The Government is not obligated in any event to pay or reimburse the Contractor more than the amount from time to time allotted to the contract, anything to the contrary in the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause notwithstanding.

(c) (1) It is contemplated that funds presently allotted to this contract will cover the work to be performed until TBD.

(2) If funds allotted are considered by the Contractor to be inadequate to cover the work to be performed until that date, or an agreed date substituted for it, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing when within the next 60 days the work will reach a point at which, if the contract is terminated pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract, the total amount payable by the Government (including amounts payable for subcontracts and settlement costs) pursuant to paragraphs (f) and (g) of that clause will approximate 75 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract.

(3) (i) The notice shall state the estimated date when the point referred to in paragraph (c)(2) of this clause will be reached and the estimated amount of additional funds required to continue performance to the date specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this clause, or an agreed date substituted for it.

(ii) The Contractor shall, 60 days in advance of the date specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this clause, or an agreed date substituted for it, advise the Contracting Officer in writing as to the estimated amount of additional funds required for the timely performance of the contract for a further period as may be specified in the contract or otherwise agreed to by the parties.

(4) If, after the notification referred to in paragraph (c)(3)(ii) of this clause, additional funds are not allotted by the date specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this clause, or an agreed date substituted for it, the Contracting Officer shall, upon the Contractor's written request, terminate this contract on that date or on the date set forth in the request, whichever is later, pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause.

(d) When additional funds are allotted from time to time for continued performance of the work under this contract, the parties shall agree on the applicable period of contract performance to be covered by these funds. The provisions of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this clause shall apply to these additional allotted funds and the substituted date pertaining to them, and the contract shall be modified accordingly.

(e) If solely by reason of the Government's failure to allot additional funds in amounts sufficient for the timely performance of this contract, the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work under this contract, and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of the items to be delivered, or in the time of delivery, or both.

(f) The Government may at any time before termination, and, with the consent of the Contractor, after notice of termination, allot additional funds for this contract.

(g) The provisions of this clause with respect to termination shall in no way be deemed to limit the rights of the Government under the default clause of this contract. The provisions of this Limitation of Funds clause are limited to the work on and allotment of funds for the items set forth in paragraph (a). This clause shall become inoperative upon the allotment of funds for the total price of said work except for rights and obligations then existing under this clause.

(h) Nothing in this clause shall affect the right of the Government to terminate this contract pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract.

(End of clause)

A.9 CONTRACT VALUE SURGE

If during the performance of this contract additional in-scope work is required to meet increased overall need of the Agency, the Contracting Officer may unilaterally increase the total contract value of the contract by 20%. This decision is entirely within the discretion of the Government.

A.10 PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

The effort required under this contract shall be performed at the following location(s):

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Glenn Research Center (GRC) comprises Lewis Field, which includes over 100 buildings on a 351-acre main campus, adjacent to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and a 6,453-acre Plum Brook (PB) Station near Sandusky, Ohio, which is 50 miles west of Cleveland.

[End of Section]

C.5 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror on a BEST

VALUE basis using a Relevant Experience and Past Performance/Price tradeoff approach with technical quotes that have been deemed technically acceptable. Selection and award will be made to the offeror whose offer will be the most advantageous to the Government. Evaluation will be performed in accordance with the evaluation factors and instructions set forth in the solicitation.

(b) It is critical that Offerors provide adequate detail to allow evaluation of their offer. (SEE FAR 52.212-1(b)).

The final selection and tradeoff process (see FAR 15.101-1) will only be performed between past performance and price, not on technical considerations. The Government intends to award without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it determines it is in its interest to do so.

(c) Offers will be evaluated based upon the Technical Proposal (Technical Consideration) factors set forth below and in ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1 requirements to determine each offer’s technical acceptability. Offers will be rated as “technically acceptable,” or “technically not acceptable.” Offers rated as “technically not acceptable” will be eliminated from further consideration and evaluation. The Government may conduct limited exchanges with Offerors as described in FAR 15.306(b)(2) in connection with its determination of technical acceptability or technically not acceptable. These exchanges shall not be used to cure offer deficiencies or material omissions, materially alter the offers, and/or otherwise revise the offers. All technically not acceptable offers will be eliminated from further evaluation.

(d) All Relevant Experience and Past Performance and Price Factors will be evaluated for “technically acceptable” quotes. The relevant experience and past performance evaluation will be conducted based upon the factors set forth below and in accordance with ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1 - INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS— COMMERCIAL ITEMS of the solicitation. The price evaluation will also be conducted based upon the factors set forth below and in ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1.

Technical Proposal (Technical Consideration)

The Government will evaluate the provided information for each factor for accuracy, overall understanding, and completeness. The Government will assign an Acceptable/Unacceptable rating for each factor and an overall Acceptable/Unacceptable Technical Rating. For an Offeror to be considered Technically Acceptable, each factor must be addressed to an acceptable level.

SCOPE OF WORK

1. In accordance with the SOW, the offeror’s contingency plan the plan for non-working equipment or vehicles.

2. Offeror’s environmental statement in regards to how they meet the current Executive Order for sustainability which is Executive Order 13693, Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade, environmental standards when disposing of solid waste and recycling.

SOW.

SCRAP METAL REQUIREMENTS

5. The Offeror’s plan on the segregation of all metals when they leave GRC and PB.

Offerors receiving a rating of “Unacceptable” for any element in Factor I will not be further considered for an award. Offerors simply providing general statements or paraphrasing/parroting the SOW in whole or in any part may result in a rating of “Unacceptable”.

Technical Rating Table

These ratings will be used in the evaluation of the technical factor.

TABLE 1

Rating Description Acceptable Offer meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Unacceptable Offer does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Offer is un-awardable

TRADE-OFF EVALUATION FACTORS

There will be two factors of evaluation for trade-off purposes, (1) Relevant Experience and Past Performance and (2) Price, as set forth below.

Factor II - Relevant Experience and Past Performance Evaluation.

a) The Government will evaluate three (3) areas of relevant experience and past performance of the Offeror and any Major Subcontractors/Teaming Partners:

(1) Past Performance Narrative (PPN)

(2) Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ)

(3) Past Performance Databases (PPD)

(b) The results of the PPN, PPQ, and PPD evaluations will be considered in determining the Level of Confidence rating. Each area is considered approximately equal in value.

(c) Relevancy: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s, Major Subcontractor’s and/or Teaming Partners’ contract experience over the past five (5) years to determine its overall relevancy to the PWS and the overall requirements of the RFP. Consideration will be given to contract scope, customer, size, type, length, and role as prime or subcontractor.

(d) Performance: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s, Major Subcontractors’ and/or Teaming Partners’ overall performance over the past five (5) years by considering technical performance, business performance, and management performance in fulfilling the requirements of prior contracts.

(e) The Government reserves the right to contact prior contracts cognizant business and technical personnel, whether or not listed in the proposal, for both the PPQ and PPD sections. In addition, for evaluation purposes, the Government reserves the right to collect and review any additional past performance information from Government past performance databases.

(f) The Government reserves the right to use other sources of information available in its evaluation identified through data files or personal contacts.

(g) The Government reserves the right to evaluate past performance information for other subcontractors not listed as a Major Subcontractor and from other entities that will substantially contribute to the proposed contract, or have the potential to significantly impact performance of the proposed contract.

(h) Offerors without a record of relevant experience and past performance, or for who information on past performance is not available, shall receive a neutral rating in accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv).

(i) Relevant Experience and Past Performance information will not be numerically scored but will be consolidated into a single level of confidence rating in accordance with the following table:

Rating DESCRIPTION (FAR 1815.305(a)(2)(A))

Very High Level of Confidence

The offeror’s relevant past performance is of exceptional merit and is very highly pertinent to this acquisition indicating exemplary performance in a timely, efficient, and economical manner; very minor (if any) problems with no adverse effect on overall performance. Based on the offeror’s performance record, there is a very high level of confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. ** (One or more significant strengths exist. No significant weaknesses exist.)

High Level of Confidence

The offeror’s relevant past performance is highly pertinent to this acquisition;

demonstrating very effective performance that would be fully responsive to contract requirements with contract requirements accomplished in a timely, efficient, and economical manner for the most part with only minor problems with little identifiable effect on overall performance. Based on the offeror’s performance record, there is a high level of confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. ** (One or more significant strengths exist. Strengths outbalance any weakness.)

Moderate Level of Confidence

The offeror’s relevant past performance is pertinent to this acquisition, and it demonstrates effective performance; fully responsive to contract requirements; reportable problems, but with little identifiable effect on overall performance. Based on the offeror’s performance record, there is a moderate level of confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. ** (There may be strengths or weaknesses or both.)

Low Level of Confidence

The offeror’s relevant past performance is at least somewhat pertinent to this acquisition, and it meets or slightly exceeds minimum acceptable standards; adequate results;

reportable problems with identifiable, but not substantial, effects on overall performance.

Based on the offeror’s performance record, there is a low level of confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Changes to the offeror’s existing processes may be necessary in order to achieve contract requirements. ** (One or more weaknesses exist. Weaknesses outbalance strengths.)

Very Low Level of Confidence

The offeror’s relevant past performance does not meet minimum acceptable standards in one or more areas; remedial action required in one or more areas; problems in one or more areas which adversely affect overall performance. Based on the offeror’s performance record, there is a very low level of confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. ** (One or more deficiencies or significant weaknesses exist.)

Neutral In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)).

Factor III – Price Evaluation

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

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

C.6 RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF EVALUATION FACTORS

Overall, in the selection of a Contractor for contract award, Relevant Experience and Past Performance and Price Factors will be of approximately equal importance.
