52.212-2 Evaluation — Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021) (DEVIATION Mar 2026)

(a) Evaluation factors: 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 will be used to evaluate offers:

(i) price;

(ii) technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement;

(iii) prior experience

SEE AWARD SELECTION PROCESS section below

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

AWARD SELECTION PROCESS

Award will be made in accordance with FAR Part 12 to the Offeror that provides the best value to the government based on price, technical, and prior experience. Per FAR 12.203(c)(2) evaluation will be conducted by comparative evaluation of offerors. This solicitation is not stating nor required to state the importance assigned to each evaluation factor and/or sub factor (FAR 12.203(c)(2)).

1. Price: A price evaluation will be performed to determine the reasonableness of the proposed price. Reasonableness will be determined considering other competitive prices received and comparison to the independent Government estimate. If multiple contract line items are included in the price schedule, prices will also be evaluated to determine whether any line items are unbalanced. Offerors are cautioned to distribute costs appropriately.

2. Technical: Written confirmation that company specializes in, or has sufficient documented direct experience in, providing all labor, material, tools, supervision and travel necessary to perform the service outlined, and in accordance with, the attached Statement of Work (SOW). Complete the technical questionnaire or a capability statement/project narrative – please see “TO SUBMIT AN OFFER” section for details on which to submit for this requirement.

3. Prior Experience: Complete Prior Experience references as described in “TO SUBMIT AN OFFER” section, that can confirm your company has successfully completed similar tasks outlined in the Statement of Work.

140P1526Q0099 Solid Waste & Recycle Waste Collection - SAGU Page 12 of 15

Quotes will receive a preliminary review to determine whether the quote contains sufficient information, as required by the solicitation, to allow the government to perform a meaningful evaluation. If the results of this preliminary review indicate that the quote lacks sufficient information to allow a meaningful evaluation to be conducted, the Contract Specialist/Contracting Officer may eliminate the quote from further evaluation and consideration for an award.

The government will evaluate quotes in groups of three (3), starting with the lowest priced quotes, proceeding upward, incrementally in price, until an awardee is selected. At that point, the evaluation process stops, and award will be made to the selected Offeror.

Option Contract language:

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

52.217-9 Option to Extend the Term of the Contract (Mar 2000)

(a) The Government may extend the term of this contract by written notice to the Contractor within 30 days; provided that the Government gives the Contractor a preliminary written notice of its intent to extend at least 30 days before the contract expires. The preliminary notice does not commit the Government to an extension.

(b) If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this option clause.

(c) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause, shall not exceed 5 years.
