The following have been modified:

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JUN 2020)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code(s) and small business size standard(s) for this acquisition appear elsewhere in the solicitation. However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.

Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation. (1)(i) The GSA Index of Federal Specifications, Standards and Commercial Item Descriptions, FPMR Part 101-29, and copies of specifications, standards, and commercial item descriptions cited in this solicitation may be obtained for a fee by submitting a request to--GSA Federal Supply Service Specifications Section, Suite 8100, 470 East L'Enfant Plaza, SW, Washington, DC 20407, Telephone (202) 619-8925, Facsimile (202) 619-8978.

The Offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation "Unique Entity Identifier" followed by the unique entity identifier that identifies the Offeror's name and address.

C. ORGANIZATION:

1. VOLUME I: PAST PERFORMANCE

a. Past performance is a measure of the degree to which an Offeror, as an organization, has in the past 3 years satisfied its customers, and efficiently and effectively managed their contracts, on projects of similar scope and magnitude. Past performance history shall be used to gauge the level of risk. An Offeror’s past performance will be assessed as very relevant, relevant, somewhat relevant, or not relevant. Very relevant shall mean that present or past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities that this solicitation requires. Relevant shall mean that present or past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Somewhat relevant shall mean that present or past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not relevant shall mean that present or past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. The results may be utilized to determine the Offeror’s rating on past projects with Government or other customers. Offeror’s with no relevant performance history or for whom information on past performance is not available will receive a neutral rating. Offerors must either provide the below information or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant, directly related, or similar past performance. In addition, the vendor shall provide a list of current and/or previous electronic technician service contract numbers to include contracting officer names and phone numbers.

b. The Offeror shall provide up to three (3) relevant projects or contracts that include the following information:

i. Government Agency/Company who awarded the contract

ii. Contract Number

iii. Description of Services

iv. Contract Value

v. Period of Performance

vi. Place of Performance

vii. Contract Type

viii. Current POC with current email address and phone number

c. Failure to meet these requirements renders an offeror “non-responsive” and ineligible for award.

2. VOLUME II - TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

a. The Technical Factor Ratings, excerpted focus on the strengths, deficiencies, weaknesses, risks and uncertainties of the offeror's proposal. The color rating depicts how well the offeror’s proposal meets the Technical sub-factor requirements.

b. The Technical Proposal shall be a stand-alone document containing all information necessary for the Government to perform a complete technical evaluation. In evaluating the technical Proposal, the Government will only consider information contained in the technical Proposal itself. Information contained in any other part or Proposal submitted under this solicitation or in other documents will not be considered.

c. Offerors shall provide literature (to include organizational chart(s)), schedules, proof of training, any other pertinent information on their technical capability and comprehension in the elements listed below:

i. Sub-Factor 1 –Experience and Capability - Proposal is limited to 5 double sided or 10 single sided pages, exclusive of table of contents, tabs, and dividers. Pages in excess of the limit will not be evaluated. The elements in subfactor 1 are of equal importance.

Using the information in Technical Proposal, and the projects/contracts discussed and listed in the Past Performance, the Government will evaluate the extent of related experience, and determine to what degree the offeror has the experience and capability to manage a refuse collection project comparable to the work requirements of this solicitation. Accordingly, higher ratings can be achieved by offerors whose projects more closely resemble the scope, size, and complexity of this solicitation’s requirements.

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s understanding of the contract requirements, and determine to what degree their technical and administrative capabilities, proposed organization and management plan are adequate to meet contract requirements. To be considered adequate, the Experience and Capability proposal must address the full spectrum of activities involved in the management of a resulting contract in a manner that gives the Government confidence that the offeror understands all of the requirements. An adequate proposal will include the information necessary to give the Government confidence of the offeror’s ability to successfully perform complete project management of the scope requirements.

Proposal must demonstrate adequate quality control processes to give the government confidence of the offeror’s ability to successfully manage the material submittal process, and ensure subcontractor compliance with contract documents.

Proposal must demonstrate, as a minimum, that the following key personnel: Project Manager, Site Superintendent(s), Quality Control Manager, and Safety Representative, have experience in managing projects/contracts of the same/similar dollar magnitude, size, complexity and scope, in the capacity in which they are proposed for this project.

ii. Sub-Factor 2 - Quality Control - The proposal narrative demonstrates that the quality control staff, with lines of authority, is adequate to meet the contract’s requirements. The proposed Quality Control answers should provide a detailed explanation of how quality issues are dealt with on various types of refuse projects and as a minimum, meetings, inspections, submittal reviews, correction of non-compliant work and how you intend to ensure non-reoccurrence and reporting of quality problems to Government officials.

(Note: A Quality Control Plan is not required with this proposal).

iii. Sub-Factor 3 - Schedule - The Schedule itself is not included in the page count for subfactors 1 and 2 and is not subject to page limits. The offeror shall provide a schedule that demonstrates an offerors understanding of the requirements.

3. VOLUME III – VOLUME II –- PRICE PROPOSAL

a. The Price Quote must be a separate volume. Complete blocks 12, 17a, 17b, 30a, 30b, and 30c of the Request for Quote (RFQ) SF 1449. In doing so, the offeror agrees to the contract terms and conditions as written in the

RFQ.

b. Insert the proposed unit and extended prices in the pricing schedule for each contract line item (CLIN) including all option periods.

c. Complete the necessary fill-ins and certifications at clause 52.212-3 – Offeror Representations and Certification – Commercial Items, 252.212-7000 - Offeror Representations And Certifications- Commercial Items. The representations and certifications shall be returned in their entirety.
