52.212-2 EVALUATION-COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

(b) 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. Technical and past performance, when combined, are not equal when compared to price. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(i) RELEVANT PAST EXPERIENCE. Experience is differentiated from past performance in that it is factual, documented information about specific work the quoter has performed, which demonstrates the quoter’s technical ability to accomplish the work, including the relevant experience of Quoter’s key personnel. Quoter shall have at minimum of 1 years’ experience in installing, and replacing antennas, radio antennas, cable, cable hangers and hardware. “Contracted climbers must be certified to perform tower climbing and their certification must be less than 3 years old.” See attachment 2.

(ii) PAST PERFORMANCE. Past performance is the measure of the degree to which a contractor has satisfied its customers in the past. Past performance includes projects of comparable size and scope.

Quoter shall provide at least three references for contracts in the past 5 years for removing, installing, and replacing antennas, radio antennas, cable, cable hangers and hardware.

Reference information shall include business name/customer name, job name, brief description of job performed, start and dates, and point of contact name with phone number and email address. The Government will evaluate past performance as a measure of the degree to which the quoter satisfied its customers in the past and complied with Federal, State, and Local laws and regulations. In the case of a quoter who states they have no record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the quoter will not be evaluated favorable or unfavorably on past performance. Quoter are permitted to provide information on any problems encountered on the identified contracts and the Quoter’s corrective actions. The Government may contact sources listed by the quoter and/or other sources of information including, but not limited to, Federal, State and Local governments, better business bureaus, published media, and electronic databases to determine if they believe that the Quoter: See attachment 2

a. Demonstrated the ability to maintain cost control, stay on schedule, and successfully meet project deadlines, including timely submittals and complete pay requests;

b. Has an excellent safety record;

c. Was capable, reasonable, and cooperative during the performance period;

d. Demonstrated high quality workmanship and performance conforming to the terms and conditions of the contract.

(iii) PRICE. NPS will perform a price evaluation to determine the reasonableness of the quoted price.

Reasonableness will be determined considering other competitive prices received and comparison to the independent Government estimate (IGE) or to any other information the Contracting Officer deems useful in their discretion. The Government will look at whether a quoted price is too high, possibly indicative of capabilities that exceed those needed for successful performance of the work; and may also consider whether a quoted price is too low, since this may indicate a lack of technical understanding on the quoter's part or a performance risk associated with the quote that the agency may not be willing to accept.
