XI. CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM

NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS

Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (December 2015)

a. FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation.

One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

b. The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS.

CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

c. We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer (CO) with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO). Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

d. When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://www.cpars.gov/.

e. Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the AO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at https://www.cpars.gov/.

i. Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment.

ii. Your comments should focus on objective facts in the AO's narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.

http://www.cpars.gov/ http://www.cpars.gov/

iii. All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.

iv. If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating "No comment" in the space provided, and then selecting “Accept the Ratings and Close the Evaluation”.

v. Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR. On day 15, the evaluation will become available in PPIRS-RC marked as “Pending” with or without comments and whether or not it has been closed.

vi. If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: "The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment."

f. The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

i. Protect the evaluation as source selection information. After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the CO for instructions.

ii. Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

iii. Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

g. If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the CO no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.

h. A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.

XII. ADDITIONAL WORK

Any additional work not detailed in this contract shall be approved, in writing, by the Contracting Officer via a bilateral modification.

The contractor shall submit a full written report to the Contracting Officer within 24 hours following the occurrence of such damage, loss, or injury.

If due to fault, neglect, dishonesty of the contractor, his agency or employees, loss or damage to government property is incurred during the performance of this contract, the contractor shall be responsible for same. The government, at its option, may in lieu of repayment, require the contractor to replace at his own expense, all such property as directed by the Contracting Officer.

VOLUME I – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

VOLUME II – PAST PERFORMANCE

VOLUME III –COST/PRICE

The non-price factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price.

Offerors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest cost offer. Best value is defined as the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the government's estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement in accordance with FAR 2.101.

The Government reserves the right to make a selection based upon initial offer without discussions; therefore, the offeror should submit their best terms in their initial offer. The Government also reserves the right to enter into discussions and request revised offers if needed, and may also determine to make no award.

The government will evaluate based on the following factors:

a. Volume I - Technical Capability – Limited to five (5) pages

Evaluation will be based on the 1 to 3 samples of work which demonstrate the ability of the offeror to install furniture as outlined in this solicitation.

b. Volume II - Past Performance – Limited to three (3) pages.

Evaluation will be based on past performance to include quality of products and services, cost control, customer satisfaction, timeliness of performance, and business relations. The source selection authority shall determine the relevance of similar past performance information.

1. An evaluation of offeror’s past performance information will be conducted subsequent to the technical evaluation. The offeror must have demonstrated successful operations and maintenance of similar contract, to include scale and complexity.

2. The evaluation will be based on information obtained from the write-ups, other relevant past performance information obtained from other sources known to the Government, and any other information supplied by the offeror, to include problems encountered on the identified contracts and corrective action taken.

3. The Government will assess the relative risks associated with each offeror. Performance risks are those associated with an offeror’s likelihood of success in performing the acquisition requirements as indicated by that offeror’s record of past performance.

4. The assessment of performance risk is not intended to be the product of a mechanical or mathematical analysis of an offeror’s performance on a list of contracts, but rather the product of subjective judgement by the Government after it considers all available and relevant information.

5. When assessing performance risks, the Gover zxxxxxxxxxxxnment will focus on the past performance of the offeror as it relates to all acquisition requirements, such as: 1) the offeror’s record of performing according to specifications, including standards of good workmanship; 2) the offeror’s record of controlling and forecasting costs; 3) the offeror’s adherence to contract schedules including the administrative aspects of performance; 4) the offeror’s reputation for reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and

5) the offeror’s business-like concern for the interest of the customer.

6. The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, sources of the information, context of the data and general trends in the offeror’s performance. The lack of a relevant performance record may result in an unknown performance risk assessment, which will neither be used to the advantage nor disadvantage of the offeror. Note: Contractors submitting offers without past performance will receive a neutral rating.

7. The Government will assess the relative risks associated with each offeror. Performance risks are those associated with an offeror's likelihood of success in performing the acquisition requirements as indicated by that offeror's record of past performance.

8. Each offeror shall be evaluated on his/her performance under existing and prior contracts for similar products or services. Performance information shall be used for both responsibility determinations and as an evaluation factor to assure the government is receiving the best value. The government shall focus on information that demonstrates quality of performance relative to the size and complexity of the procurement under consideration. References, other than those identified by the offeror, may be contacted by the government with the information received in the evaluation of the offerors past performance.

Even if the firm is new or new to the business area, it is probable that the key management and/or technical personnel proposed for the contract have some relevant experience.

D. Volume III -- Cost/Price

1. Offerors’ cost quotes will not be point scored or adjectively scored but will be evaluated on price reasonableness. The price quote will also be used as an aid to determine the Offeror understands the requirements of the solicitation, price reasonableness and to assess the validity of the offeror’s approach to managing and performing the work.

2. The Offeror shall submit a price quote separate from all other volumes; any price information found in the technical or past performance volumes will be removed prior to evaluation.

3. Offeror understands of the requirements of the solicitation, price reasonableness and to assess the validity of the offeror’s approach to managing and performing the work.

4. The offeror shall submit a price quote separate from all other volumes; any pricing information found in the technical or past performance volumes will be removed prior to evaluation.

5. The Government will evaluate the price quote for reasonableness to determine best value to the Government. The Government will also evaluate cost with regard to the ability of the offeror to meet requirements in terms of skills required, complexity of disciplines and job difficulty, if the Government deems such analysis necessary.
