EVALUATION PROCEDURES
This procurement will use Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) in accordance with FAR 13.106- 1(a)(2) and FAR 13.106-2(b). Evaluation procedures in FAR 13.106 provide broad discretion in establishing suitable evaluation procedures. Using price and other related factors listed below the contracting officer shall ensure that eligible quotations can be evaluated in an efficient and minimally burdensome fashion using comparative evaluation procedures. Comparative evaluations encourage the use of “best value,” and are not required to state the relative important of evaluation factors or subfactors.
This solicitation will evaluate:
1. Price.
2. Technical Capability: A narrative that addresses in the quoter’s own words how they will meet the state requirements of the Statement of Work. This narrative shall contain sufficient information to conduct meaningful evaluations and be based on the requirements and type of work being solicited. Copying the governments SOW, simply stating your firm can meet the requirements, or just providing a capability statement shall cause the firms quote to be ineligible for award and not further considered.
3. Past Experience: Quoter shall provide at minimum of three past experiences of the same scope, size and cost to include any subcontractors, their business size and SAM UEI number specifically related to Hazardous Tree Mitigation Services including a certified Arborist.
All eligible quotes shall be evaluated in accordance with the factors described herein. The evaluation factors used in this RFQ are technical, past experience and price. Award will be made to the quoter who is determined to be the overall best value to the Government by using comparative evaluation. A comparative evaluation is where each quote will be compared side-by-side with other quotes to determine the overall best value to the Government.
Quoters are reminded to include their best technical and price terms in their initial quote and not to automatically assume they will have an opportunity to participate in discussions or be asked to submit a revised quote.
Quotes will receive a preliminary review to determine whether the quote contains sufficient information, as required by the solicitation to be eligible for evaluation. If the results of the preliminary review indicate that the quote lacks sufficient information to allow a meaningful evaluation to be conducted, the Contracting Officer as the sole deciding authority may determine a quote as ineligible and may remove the quote from further evaluation and consideration for an award.
Quoters shall not copy the Scope of Work and state the firm can meet the requirement. Nor shall the Quoter copy the Scope of Work and add comments to specific areas.
The contracting officer shall conduct the price evaluation, and the technical evaluator(s)s will evaluate the technical and past experience portion of the quotes and make a recommendation of award to the contracting officer. If all quotes are determined to be technically equal, the award will be made to the lowest priced quote. Additional details on the evaluation process are detailed below.
In accordance with FAR 9.104 a determination of contractor responsibility or non-responsibility will be made by various systems including but not limited to SAM, CPARS, and FAPIIS.
The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes for technical and past experience:
Factor 1: Technical Capability mailto:sally_leitch@nps.gov sally_leitch@nps.gov
Technical Capability will be initially rated by the technical evaluator(s) as either “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable.” An “Unacceptable” rating shall deem the quoter ineligible for award.
Acceptable Information provided demonstrates the quoter has the technical capability of all contractual requirements of the solicitation, portrays a clear and technical understanding of the project requirements, and has provided all the submission requirements.
Unacceptable Information provided does not demonstrate that the quoter has the technical capability of all contractual requirements of the solicitation, does not portray a clear and technical understanding of the project, and did not provide all the required submission requirements.
The technical evaluators will take the remaining technically acceptable quotes and compare them to one another to determine what quote is the overall best value to the government and make their technical recommendation for award based on this side-by-side evaluation based on the established requirement and information provided in the quoters quote. If all remaining quotes are determined to be technically equal, the award will be made to the quoter with the lowest priced quote upon the contractors fair and reasonable price determination.
Quoter shall provide the following:
