The Department of Labor (DOL) Wage Determination applies to the Washington DC location as indicated in the table below. This information can also be found at: http://www.wdol.gov/Index.aspx:

State County Location Wage

Determination#

SC Charleston Charleston 2015-4427 Rev. #32

The minimum wage rates and fringe benefits applicable to the contract are outlined in the DOL prevailing wage determinations incorporated into the contract.

Evaluation Criteria:

Evaluation – Technical Capability. Award will be made using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process. The Government will first evaluate the lowest-priced offeror’s technical proposal to determine whether it demonstrates a clear understanding of and compliance with all requirements outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW). An evaluation rating of technically “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” will be assigned upon completion of the technical quote’s evaluation. If an offeror receives a technical rating of “Unacceptable”, it will not be considered for award. If the lowest-priced offeror is rated “Unacceptable,” the Government will evaluate the next lowest-priced offeror’s technical proposal, continuing in order of price until an offeror is rated “Acceptable.” Only offers rated “Acceptable” will be eligible for award.

Factor 1 - Technical Capability Ratings Rating Definition Acceptable Quote meets or exceeds the solicitation requirements

Unacceptable Quote does not meet all solicitation requirements

REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED PAGE

Evaluation – Price. The Government will evaluate the total price on SF-1449.

The USCG will evaluate the SF-1449 to determine whether the prices are fair and reasonable and adhere to the RFQ instructions. Evaluation of pricing will be based on the Total Evaluated Price (TEP).

TEP is determined by the offeror’s total quantity price of all CLINs; it is calculated by combining the total price for the base period CLINs inclusive of the option year CLINS (if applicable).
