52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors, listed by order of importance in the award decision, shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Key Personnel: Submit the key personnel who would be supporting USACE with court reporter services.

Include license/certification for performing these services in Omaha, NE.

2. Place of Performance: Discuss how in person court reporter services will be accomplished in Omaha, NE at the Zorinsky Federal Building or Hruska Federal Courthouse. Include response time, travel time, and how travel costs including parking would be accounted for. When the government authorizes remote court reporter services, discuss what technical requirements would be necessary. Discuss whether your firm or a subcontractor could provide court reporter services in the following locations: Colorado, Iowa, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington DC, and Wyoming. Quotations that demonstrate the ability to provide in person services in these locations will receive a more favorable rating.

3. Experience: Provide evidence of court reporting services on behalf of a federal government agency on three separate occasions and the government point of contact (name, phone, email).

4. Price: Complete the Price Schedule for Years 1 – 5. Also, complete the Sample Pricing Scenarios spreadsheet using Year 1 rates in the Price Schedule. The Sample Pricing Scenarios are 4-hour depositions under different circumstances and will be used to ensure pricing is evaluated consistently. Factor in annual inflation and Service Contract Labor Standards increases. Rates shall include overhead and profit markups.

Note that travel time and travel costs to Omaha, NE must be included in the rates in the price schedule. No separate travel time or costs will be paid when Omaha, NE is the place of performance. When the government authorizes remote court reporter services, no separate travel time or costs will be paid, but a hourly rate per page for computer/video equipment will be included in the task order. When court reporting services are required in person at a location other than Omaha, NE, the task order will include travel costs at federal rates. Travel time will be paid at the hourly rate for the courter reporter, but included in the travel cost.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
