52.212-2 ADDENDUM; EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will the best value to the Government. Quotations will be evaluated using the following factors:

1. Past Performance – The quoter shall provide three references of projects completed within the past five (5) years. Experience consists of projects completed as a prime contractor or projects of qualified subcontractors that have the capabilities to perform this work. These references need to be equal to or similar in scope of this requirement. The contractor shall provide dates and pertinent information to demonstrate how they are comparable to this requirement in size and complexity. The contractor shall include points of contact, titles, telephone numbers, and email addresses (if available) for all references.

Additionally, past performance may be based on the contracting’s officer’s knowledge of and previous experience with similar purchases acquired and any information contained in the Governmentwide Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), contained at www.ppirs.gov.

The quoter will receive a rating of exceptional for past performance that demonstrates successful completion of similar purchases on all references and the additional information retrieved from PPIRS and from the Contracting Officer is favorable. The quoter will receive a rating of satisfactory for past performance that has at least one reference that demonstrates successful completion of similar purchases and the information from PPIRS and the Contracting Officer is favorable. The quoter will receive a rating of unsatisfactory for past performance that does not demonstrate any successfully completed similar purchases on the references and the additional information from PPIRS and the Contracting Officer is not favorable.

2. Experience-Submit up to three projects completed within the last five years that are like this project in size and scope. Projects comparable in scope to this project include work on restoring longleaf pine ecosystem and re-seeding large acreages. Projects comparable in size to this project should include familiarity with establishing native seed cover, utilizing enhanced software for forestry restoration, with a value of at least $100,000. Each project example shall include the following information:

a. Project name, location, dollar amount and name of agency/company (Military/Commercial);

b. Customer Point of Contact (POC) for agency/company; name, telephone number, and email; and

c. Month/year the work started/completed;

The government may give less consideration for the following:

a. Projects that do not show comparable size and scope

b. Projects that do not supply evidence of successful performance

3. Price – The quote shall be inclusive of all costs to perform the work specified in the PWS.

The offeror’s completed Sub-CLIN schedule shall be provided in both PDF and Excel formats. If there are any differences between the offeror’s PDF and Excel files, the PDF file will be used. The offeror shall ensure that the total price(s) for the proposal, as well as individual task costs, are clear and easily ascertainable by the evaluator(s). In addition, cost build data (i.e., labor hours, equipment, materials, etc.)

should be presented in a manner that evaluator(s) can clearly understand them and they should be rolled up such that they are summarized at both a task level, and total project level. No assumptions will be made by the offeror and/or considered by the evaluator(s). Payment milestones shall not exceed one invoice per month. There is no limitation on the total number of pages submitted in Volume 2: Cost Proposal.

The Offeror should apply the actual labor rates on each task and clearly present the negotiated labor rates in the price proposal, and shall include any supplies, materials, travel costs, subcontracting costs, all markups, etc., that may be needed to carry out the tasks. The Offeror shall provide backup material for their costs proposed (i.e., the team subcontractor(s) or other itemized subcontractors cost proposal(s), quotes for rental equipment, etc.). The adequacy and value of the cost data, whether the costs are realistic for the work to be performed, whether the costs reflect the Offeror’s understanding of the requirements, and whether the costs are consistent with the information presented in Volume 1, will be determined from this information. All quotations and documentation will be noted in the proposal. Indirect cost categories such as prime contractor’s home office and field office overheads and profit should be identified, and appropriate costs included for each in the proposal. Other cost categories such as cost escalation, supervision, and administration, engineering during construction, etc. shall also be included in the estimate, as appropriate, to form a total project cost for the PWS. It should be noted that for CLINs that both the prime contract and subcontractor work on, the tasks of each contractors will be itemized.

The Best-Value Trade-Off Analysis Method will be used to select the contractor to whom this purchase order will be awarded. The selection decision will be based on the contractor offering the best overall value to the Government, with consideration given to both technical (non-cost/price) evaluation factors and cost/price, as presented within the offering contractor proposals. The selection will not be based solely on lowest proposed cost, but will be based on an analysis of each contractor’s technical proposal and their cost/price proposal. Note: All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price.
