https://www.gsa.gov/forms-library/solicitationcontractorder-commercial-items https://www.acquisition.gov/far/52.212-3#FAR_52_212_3 https://www.acquisition.gov/far/52.212-3#FAR_52_212_3 https://www.acquisition.gov/far/52.212-3#FAR_52_212_3 https://www.gsa.gov/forms-library/solicitationcontractorder-commercial-items https://www.acquisition.gov/far/subpart-4.10#FAR_Subpart_4_10

(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 4:30 p.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 proposals, it was the only proposal 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 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.

52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Oct 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Evaluation and Award Factors

1. Introduction:

All proposals received will be evaluated carefully. The Contracting Officer will separate the cost and technical proposals and will appoint a Technical Proposal Evaluation Committee (TPEC) consisting of BLM personnel to assist in the proposal evaluation.

2. Evaluation Process:

a. Technical Evaluation: Each member of the TPEC shall receive and independently evaluate a copy of each technical proposal without knowledge of the cost proposals. TPEC members will score each technical proposal according to the evaluation criteria set forth below and then will collectively evaluate the proposals.

b. Cost Evaluation: After completion of the technical proposal evaluation, the TPEC shall evaluate the cost proposals in relation to the content of the technical proposals, focusing on the adequacy of the proposed level of effort and supporting resources.

3. Evaluation Factors:

http://www.sam.gov/

The following major factors and sub-factors shall be used in proposal evaluation. The relative importance of the major evaluation factors is indicated by the order in which they are listed. The factors will be rated as either Acceptable or Unacceptable. Past Performance provided will be assigned a Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating as indicated in the Table on page 22, titled Appendix II.

RATING DESCRIPTION

Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates and adequate approach and understanding of requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and this contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is not awardable.

The Contractor shall submit a proposal presenting a detailed narrative of experience of all personnel. This proposal shall be complete enough to permit a panel of BLM experts to fully evaluate the criteria indicated below.

Complete information as to the experience of all Contractor personnel who would perform work on this contract must be submitted in order to evaluate the following criteria.

Factor 1: Experience and Past Performance

a) Demonstrated experience and installation of a security system for level II Facilities.

b) Quality of installation with CCTV, ACS, and DAS systems.

c)List firm’s Project Manager and key staff’s experience completing security system for level II Facilities including the CCTV, ACS, and DAS systems. Reflect and demonstrate the Project Manager’s years of experience and list all projects the Project Manager has managed or assisted during the last 4 years. Provide the name and location of the offices the work was completed and associated CPARS evaluations for same period and projects. Include a point of contact (name and telephone number) for the Project Manager for those projects.

d) Offerors must explain their method and process for developing and maintaining a schedule. As well as provide a sample detailed schedule and timeline, including milestones, critical paths, and schedule for all phases and tasks. This sample can be from a previous project or a proposed draft for this project.

Factor 3: Price

The Government will evaluate price reasonableness for the total quoted price, including All Options or Optional Line Items. Price will be evaluated on all technically acceptable quotes that did not receive a performance rating of Marginal or below. The level of effort, the mix of labor proposed, and total quoted amount to perform the effort will be evaluated to determine price reasonableness and support a Offerors technical expertise.

Price will be evaluated in relation to the Independent Government Estimate and other quotes, and only on the discounted prices of the labor categories contained in this solicitation. The non-price criteria (Experience and Past Performance and Technical Capabilities) Each Technical Factor is rated equally.

When combined, technical factors are more important than price.

a) Price will be evaluated by its reasonableness.

b) Hourly rates shall be inclusive of all direct labor, indirect costs, task order request, preparation costs, and all management activities associated with the performance of the requirement.

c) The quoted price shall be the maximum price for each labor category under any resultant order.

Technical ability and factors, when combined, are approximately equal to price.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

1. Performance Price Trade-Off (PPT): This acquisition will utilize the PPT technique to make a best value award decision. The application of the PPT technique in the contract award and selection and approval process is as follows:

i. All offerors will receive a performance confidence assessment rating in accordance Appendix II.

ii. If the lowest evaluated price offeror has also received a substantial confidence performance rating, this offeror’s proposal represents the best value for this acquisition and award shall be made to this offeror, subject to a positive responsibility determination.

iii. The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest evaluated price offeror if the low offeror receives other than a substantial or satisfactory performance confidence rating. TECHINCAL ABILITY AND FACTORS, WHEN COMBINED, ARE APPROXIAMTELY EQUAL TO PRICE. The source selection authority shall make an assessment of the price proposed and the performance confidence rating assigned and trade one off for the other to determine the best value for the Government.

2. Past Performance Confidence Assessment:

i. Performance Confidence will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.305(a) (2). In assessing past performance risk, the evaluators will employ several approaches including: A) reviewing the experience listed in the proposal, B) seeking additional present and past performance information through the use of simplified questionnaires and C) using data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources.

ii. The offeror’s and proposed team member’s subcontractor past performance will be evaluated through the accomplishment of a confidence assessment rating based on aspects of the offeror’s relevant past performance and quality of performance, focusing on and targeting performance that is relevant to the same magnitude and complexity as defined in the Statement of Work. Current performance will have greater impact in the performance confidence assessment than less recent performance. The primary means of evaluation will be the Contractors Past Performance

Questionnaire (Appendix I) and Contractor Performance Assessment Reports (CPARS).

However, the Government reserves the right to consider any other information obtained through other means. The PPT process will result in an overall confidence rating in accordance with Appendix II. This confidence assessment represents the Government evaluation team’s review of the probability of an offeror successfully accomplishing the proposed effort based on the offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance.

PAST PERFORMANCE:

a. Past performance shall provide adequate information describing the offeror’s previous experience in Security System Services within the past three years from the issuance date of this RFQ. The offeror shall also list all contracts performed in the past two years from issue date of this RFQ that are of the same magnitude and complexity of this project. In addition, the Government may solicit past performance on contracts not listed by the offeror.

If an offeror does not have any past performance information to submit as the entity under which the proposal is being submitted, the offeror should submit past performance data identified above under which the offeror’s key personnel have worked. If the offeror claims there is no past performance, that status must be identified to the Contracting Officer no later than the date and time due for past performance proposals from all offerors. Lack of any past performance will not automatically disqualify an offeror, but is a factor that is considered in the Performance Price Trade-Off (PPT) technique described.

(1) Provide a summary of the previous contracts described above. Include information on subcontractors whose effort on this acquisition is projected to be more than 15% of the effort. The summary must include:

(a) Name of project (contract number, if applicable)

(b) Name and address of customer or government agency

(c) Name and telephone number of customer contact or contracting officer

(d) Dollar value and period of performance

(e) Description of work performed

(2) Provide statements, letters, reports, or evaluations from prior customers indicating the level and quality of past performance on the above contracts.

(3) Mail attached Past Performance Questionnaire (Appendix 1 to this Section) to all past performance references listed above and instruct them to return completed questionnaire directly to:

Bureau of Land Management (BLM) ATTN: Kelly Palmer 5353 Yellowstone Road Cheyenne, WY 82009 Email: kpalmer@blm.gov

3. Price Evaluation:

a. If negotiations are conducted, they will be with all offerors in the competitive range, price and other factors considered. The importance of price will be in accordance with the above evaluation factors. However, an excessively high-priced proposal which is considered competitive technically may not be included in the competitive range for negotiations. Award of contract may or may not be made to the offeror with the lowest price proposal. The right is reserved to award a contract on other than the lowest price basis, if a higher priced proposal is rated significantly higher in quality than any other, and the higher quality performance is considered vital to the successful completion of this program. Proposed prices will be reviewed for the following:

i) Degree to which proposed price accurately reflects the technical approach proposed by the Contractor; and

ii) Degree to which proposed price includes all reasonable measures to ensure quality technical effort with maximum utilization of resources at the optimum expenditure levels; and

iii) Adequacy of the supporting rationale to explain and justify individual price elements.

Appendix I

EVALUATION ASSESSMENT AND PROCEDURES

The evaluation will use the following rating system:

1. The attached questionnaire shall be utilized in the evaluation process of each past performance evaluation.

After each factor has been rated in a particular section the evaluator will assign an overall risk rating to the section. The following criteria shall be considered when rating each part of the questionnaire:

Exceptional (E) Performance meets all or exceeds many of the contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were highly effective.

Very Good (VG) Performance meets all or exceeds some of the contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

Satisfactory (S) Performance meets contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

Marginal (M) Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions or the contractor’s proposed actions appear only marginally effective.

Unsatisfactory (U) Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor’s corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

Unknown (N/A) Did not observe performance in this area.

2. Please respond to the following questions regarding the contractor’s past performance. For all ratings, please provide a narrative explaining how the contractor either exceeded your requirement or how the contractor failed to meet your requirement. If the contractor had problems in a specific area, but you determined them not to have had an impact to the mission, please state such in your narrative remarks.
