Any bid that is received after the exact time specified is “late” and will not be considered, unless:

1. It was not received or properly allocated by the e-Procurement Portal due to circumstances beyond the control of the Bidder.

https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/go-metro https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/go-metro

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise requirements or another State or local programs as they apply;

4. The bidder is in compliance with the public policies of the Federal Government, as required by 49

U.S.C. Section 5325(j)(2)(B) or other State or local policies as they apply;

5. The bidder has the necessary organization, experience, accounting, and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them, in compliance with 49 U.S.C. Section 5325(j)(2)(D) or as required in the Work Scope to perform the service or work;

B. Satisfactory past performance record in view of its records of long-time performance or performance with a predecessor entity, including:

▪ Sufficient Resources. Key personnel with adequate experience, a parent firm with adequate resources and experience, and key subcontractors with adequate experience and past performance,

▪ Adequate Past Experience. Past experience in carrying out similar work with particular attention to management approach, staffing, timeliness, technical success, budgetary controls, and other specialized considerations as described in the recipient’s solicitation, and

Past failure to apply sufficient tenacity, perseverance, and effort to perform acceptably is strong evidence of non-responsibility. Failure to meet the quality requirements of a contract is a significant factor to consider in determining satisfactory performance.

11. The Bidder’s compliance with contract terms;

12. Such other information as may be secured having a bearing on whether the bidder is responsible and has submitted a responsive bid.
