Evaluation Criteria - Service (Tradeoff)

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical, Past Performance and Price.

The Technical element of the evaluation will first be a determination as to whether the proposed product meets the performance characteristics and/or objectives in the solicitation. Those offers that meet or exceed the stated performance characteristics and/or objectives will then be evaluated in terms of technical aspects above the minimum requirements that would be most beneficial to the Government. In particular, the Government is willing to trade-off on price for offerors that exceed the following performance work characteristics/objectives and/or period of performance:

· Provide upgrades to current security systems for six ARL/APG gates identified as: Spesutie Island- Dual barrier arm motors with Dual High security operators (hydro); Gate 7 (Building 328) - Dual barrier arms motors with Dual Liftmaster operators (chain driven); Back gate to the ARL Compound (near B-390) Liftmaster operator chain driven, no barrier arms); Building 4600 Rear (main entry gate) - single barrier arm motor with high security operator (hydro), Building 4600 Front - Liftmaster (chain driven) and Locust Point Scrap Yard Gates

· Experience with dual barrier arms motors.

· Experience with single barrier arm motor.

· Experience with Liftmaster (chain driven) motors.

· Experience with Dual Liftmaster

· Experience with Dual High Security operators (HYDRO) The Technical element of the evaluation shall be based solely on information furnished by the vendor. The Government is not responsible for locating or securing any information, which is not identified in the proposal. To ensure sufficient information is available, vendors must furnish as part of their proposal all descriptive material (such as cuts, illustrations, drawings, processes or other information) necessary for the Government to determine whether the proposed effort meets or exceeds the performance characteristics and/or objectives of the requirement.

Past performance will be evaluated based on information provided by the offeror as to actual sales of the proposed effort to industry or Government agencies. Past performance will consider the ability of the offeror to meet characteristics/objectives, delivery schedules (with warranty fulfillment and maintenance reputation included as applicable). Offerors shall include three (3) records of sales from the previous _12_ months. Offerors shall identify a point of contact for each sale by providing a name and telephone number.

Price will be evaluated based on the total proposed price, including options, (if any).

Technical and past performance are of equal importance and when combined are significantly more important than price. The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest price and to award without discussions.
