13. Attachment:

Attachment 1: Grounds NY039 - Site Map

EVALUATION CRITERIA

1. Award shall be made to a single contractor. Offer must include prices for each line item listed so quotes may be properly evaluated. Failure to do so may be cause for rejection of the entire offer. Award shall be made to the responsible contractor whose total aggregate price is low.

2. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors so offerors should submit their best offer initially. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

3. PRICE:

a. Proposals shall include prices for each line item listed and a total price, in order that proposals may be properly evaluated.

b. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN) (base period and option periods) for the total evaluated price. In the event there is a difference between a unit price and the total CLIN amount, the unit price will be held as the intended price multiplied by the number of units. If the offeror shows only the total amount but fails to submit a unit price, the total CLIN amount divided by the quantity will be held as the intended price. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

c. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

4. The Past Performance Information Retrieval System and Federal Awardee Performance & Integrity Information Systems as well any other Government-sponsored information available may be utilized to help make a responsibility determination in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.104.

5. As part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-

8) by adding six (6) months of the offeror's final option period price to the offeror's total price. Offerors are required only to price the base and option periods. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential six-month extension of services period. The Government may choose to exercise the Extension of Services at the end of any performance period (base or option periods), utilizing the rates of that performance period.

6. Failure to provide the requested information may deem the proposal Unacceptable and may not be eligible for award.

The Government will utilize the grounds maintenance inspection sheet found at Exhibit 2 to document quality of service provided.

1.5.3. HOURS OF OPERATION. The contractor is responsible for conducting business between the hours of 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday except Federal Holidays or when the Government facility is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar directed facility closings.

1.5.7 IDENTIFICATION OF CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEES. All contract personnel working in situations where their contractor status is not obvious to third parties are required to identify themselves by wearing clearly written and visible nametags at all times, as such to avoid creating an impression in the minds of members of the public that they are Government officials.

1.5.8. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

1.5.9. SECURITY REQUIREMENTS. Contractor personnel or any representative of the contractor entering the Reserve Center shall abide by all security regulations and shall be subject to security checks.

The Contractor shall permit safety inspections of all work being performed under this contract.

1.5.12.3. The information shall be recorded with the COR/RFOS and Contracting Officer within 24 hours of time of notification of occurrence to the contractor by the employee.
