SECTION 00100 - BIDDING SCHEDULE/INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

INSTRUCTIONS

1. INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS

You are invited to submit a quote in response to our Request for Quote (RFQ) W50S8J23Q0008, Construct Transformer Pad, Project No. VBDZ232104 at the 109th Airlift Wing/Stratton ANGB, NY.

Offerors shall submit their quotes electronically to both Christina.Shorkey.1@us.af.mil and 109.AW.FAL.MSC.Contracting@us.af.mil

This solicitation is set-aside 100% for small businesses.

EVALUATION/BASIS FOR AWARD:

Quotes will be evaluated using Simplified Acquisition Procedures IAW FAR Part 13. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible contractor who submits the best value quote considering price and non-price related factors. Non-price related factors will be based on the following:

Contractor shall provide a short narrative for three (3) projects (no more than one (1) page per project) detailing past experience with installation of transformer pads and electrical connection of transformers. Narratives should include sizing/power requirements, State, utility company, etc. Please include project POC name, email and phone number.

The overarching evaluation approach is as follows:

a. Quotes will be sorted based on whether the quote includes three (3), two (2), one (1) or zero

(0) projects as described above for non-price related factors. Quotes which include the maximum of three (3) projects will be evaluated first.

b. The Government will evaluate the non-price factor information submitted with the lowest priced quote that contains the maximum of three (3) projects under the non-price factor submittal. This evaluation will focus on both similarity of experience and quality of previous work, which may be determined by contacting the references provided for each project, a review of available information in CPARS, and/or the Contracting Officer’s knowledge and previous experience.

If, in the Government’s opinion, the lowest priced quote (of those which included three (3) projects) demonstrates experience across the three (3) projects which are both similar in scope and determined to be of high quality workmanship, the Government may determine that particular offerors’ quote represents the best value without conducting a more in-depth review of any other quote. If, on the other hand, the Government discovers experience or quality information that represents a significant concern, OR if the Government is unable to determine the quoted price to be fair and reasonable, the Government may decide to evaluate the next lowest priced quote. If all quotes containing three (3) projects are exhausted, the Government will move on to those containing two (2) projects, and so on until a quote is identified which in the Government’s opinion, represents the best value. Award will be made to the contractor who, in the Government’s opinion, submits the best value quote based on the integrated assessment of price and non-price related factors.

Offerors are advised that the evaluation process is subjective and the best value may not be the lowest price.

2. NOTICE OF SITE VISIT
