M2.13 EVALUATION OF OFFERS (MULTIYEAR COCO STORAGE) (DESC OCT 2007)

(a) All offers will be evaluated on price and past performance. These two factors are equal in importance. Award will be made to the offeror who represents the best value combination of price and past performance.

(b) PRICE. The low multiyear offer will be determined by computing the total cost to the Government for five years of service.

This will be accomplished by adding—

(1) The monthly service charge offered in Line Item 1001 of the Schedule multiplied by 60;

(2) The estimated excess throughput charge for five years (Line Item 1001AA excess throughput rate); and

(3) The estimated five year cost of any additional charges listed under Line Item(s) 1003 and 1004.

(c) PAST PERFORMANCE.

(1) The Government will evaluate the offeror’s past performance. In doing this, the Government may consider information in the offeror’s proposal and information obtained from other sources, including past and present customers and their employees, subcontractors, and any others who may have useful information. Offerors lacking relevant past performance history shall receive a neutral evaluation for past performance.

(2) A record of acceptable past performance will not result in a favorable assessment of an otherwise unacceptable proposal.

(3) Proposals may be rated differently within each category, i.e., two proposals may receive an exceptional rating, but one may be more exceptional than the other.
