Attachment 6 – Breakdown of Cost shall be in Excel format and the remainder of the documents may be in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and/or Adobe PDF format.

16. Evaluation Criteria:

The Government will evaluate bids received in response to this solicitation solely on the basis of price and price related factors. All prices bid in response to this solicitation must include all costs associated with work elements, applicable State sales taxes, permits, and licensure.

Award will be made to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid in accordance with requirements and provisions herein. As stated in paragraph 6 above, the lowest responsive bid will receive the guaranteed minimum/seed project task order. The subsequent four lowest responsible bidders will each receive a $2,000.00 minimum guarantee.

The Government will evaluate proposed prices for balanced and reasonable pricing, using price analysis techniques. Unit Prices will be evaluated to determine if they are reasonable, complete and balanced. The price analysis techniques in 15.404-1(b) may be used as guidelines as per guidance provided in Subpart 14.408-2 to determine reasonableness of price. If adequate price competition is not obtained or if price reasonableness cannot be determined using price analysis of Government obtained information, additional information may be required from the bidder to support the proposed price. Offerors are cautioned against submitting a bid that contains unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques. Proposed prices evaluated as unreasonable or unbalanced may be grounds for eliminating the bid from award eligibility. The Attachment 6 Breakdown of Cost will be analyzed against the IGCE and competitive bids to determine price balance.

The government will not evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) as part of price evaluation. This option is only intended to extend the ordering period for any quantities not used, not add additional quantity and only will be evaluated based on extending the period of performance. Offerors are required only to price the minimum guarantee/seed project. The program ceiling of the main MAID-IQ is $25,000,000.00.

Responsiveness of Bid: For a bid to be determined responsive and considered for award, the bid must comply in all material respects with the invitation for bids. Such compliance enables bidders to stand on an equal footing, and maintain integrity of the sealed bidding system (Subpart 14.301). Non-responsive bids will not be considered for contract award.

17. Responsibility Determination: In accordance with FAR Part 9, contracts shall be awarded to responsible prospective contractors only. To be determined responsible, contractors must meet the general standards of FAR 9.104-1. IAW FAR 9.105-1(b)(1) and FAR 9.106, Pre-Award Surveys may be requested during the evaluation phase of award, from the offerors in range for award.
