(4.)

The Govenunent reserves the right to request such additional information as may be necessary to determine the offeror's qualifications for award of a contract or to clarify any aspects of the offer.

(5.) Offers will be evaluated on the bases of price and technical criteria. Pricing shall be submitted on the attached Pricing Sheet. The price of the Offeror will be evaluated based on the following:

(a.) A price evaluation shall be performed to ensure the reasonableness of proposed prices. Such evaluation may involve comparison among offers' prices as well as a comparison with the Independent Cost Estimate. Reasonableness will be determined by considering other offered prices received and comparison to the Independent Government Cost Estimate. If multiple contract line items are included in the price schedule, prices will also be evaluated to determine whether any line items are unbalanced. Prices for options will be evaluated to determine the reasonableness of the proposed price using price analysis techniques and whether the options are unbalanced when compared with the base price. In addition, offerors are cautioned that the agency may reject a proposal if the price is unreasonably low, as such a price may be an indicator of a lack of understanding of the project requirements or of an increased risk of performance.
