Dumpster Service – Distribution Center Greencastle, Page 7 of 55

Government. Evaluation Factors and Criteria are as follows:

1. Factor Identification - This Government will evaluate the offerors using the following factors:

Factor 1 – Technical Specification

Factor 2 – Delivery Plan

Factor 3 – Price

2. Order of Importance - Factor 1, Technical Specification is the most important factor, and more important than Factor 2, Delivery Date. The non-price factors 1 and 2 combined are more important than factor 3, Price.

3. Basis of Award - Award will be made based upon the offeror’s quote that provides the best value to the Government using the evaluation factors and tradeoff process. All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are more important than price.

B.2 Quote Instructions:

1. Technical Quote

The technical quote shall not exceed 5 pages length nor include pricing. The quote shall address the following:

a. Factor 1 – Technical Specification

The offerors shall demonstrate meeting the technical specifications of providing (1) 30 yd. Roll off Dumpster and (1) 8 yd. Roll off Dumpster and associated services as outlined in the

B.3 Evaluation Methodology:

1. Technical Quote Evaluation:

Technical Evaluation Ratings and Definitions – Each offeror’s technical Quote will be evaluated for completeness and to determine whether the proposed approach meets the requirement and criteria as specified in the SOW. The table below provides definitions of the adjectival ratings to be used in evaluating each offeror’s technical Quote for Factors 1 and 2:

RATING DESCRIPTION

High

Confidence

The Government has high confidence that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with little or no Government intervention.

Some

Confidence

The Government has some confidence that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with some Government intervention.

Low

Confidence

The Government has low confidence that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, or will be successful in performing the contract even with Government intervention.

A. Factor 1 – Technical Specification

The technical specification will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s proposed items meet the minimum technical specificities outlined in the SOW section 3.1.1

B. Factor 2 – Delivery Plan

The Delivery Plan will be evaluated for the earliest and reasonable dates, while also considering weather and transportation available considerations.

Dumpster Service – Distribution Center Greencastle, Page 9 of 55

2. Price Quote Evaluation:

a. Price Quote evaluation will not receive an adjectival rating.

b. The Government will perform price evaluation to determine whether proposed prices are fair and reasonable. For the price to be reasonable in its nature and amount, it should not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of a competitive business. Offerors are cautioned that unreasonably high prices may cause your Quote to be deemed not fair and unreasonable.

c. The Government reserves the right to also perform price evaluation to determine whether the proposed prices are realistic. For the price to be realistic, it should not be overly optimistic and impractically low. Offerors are cautioned that unrealistically low prices, as to pose a risk to the completion of the work, may cause your Quote to be deemed unrealistic and do not pose clear understanding of the scope.

d. In evaluating price, the Government will utilize one or more quote analysis techniques from FAR 15.404-1. Examples of such techniques include, but are not limited to the following:

▪ Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation.

▪ Comparison of proposed prices to historical prices paid, whether by the Government or other than the Government, for the same or similar items.

▪ Comparison with competitive published price lists, published market prices of commodities, similar indexes, and discount or rebate arrangements.

▪ Comparison of proposed prices with independent Government cost estimates.

▪ Comparison of proposed prices with prices obtained through market research for the same or similar services.

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender’s request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with FAR subpart 4.10), or alternative commercial products or commercial services for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.

If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 10:00 a.m., local time, for the designated

Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)

(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and-

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government’s control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for quotes, it was the only quote received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers

Dumpster Service – Distribution Center Greencastle, Page 14 of 55 cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal

Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting

Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest;

accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation. (1)
