Factor 2: LPTA
(ALL PRICES MUST BE IN US DOLLARS)
(1) The Government will evaluate the price for each proposal for award purposes by adding the total price for all contract line items to include option years, within the request for proposal (RFP)/solicitation requirement. Price will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness. Unrealistically low prices may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or that the offeror’s approach poses great risk of poor performance.
a) Completeness: The proposal covers all requirements of the specifications, includes all pricing information required by the solicitation, and the Schedule of items is completed as required. The contractor must provide pricing for the base and all option years.
b) Reasonableness: Prices are reasonable in comparison to estimates, prior prices paid, competition and can be supported by suitable estimating techniques.
(2) The total amount of all CLINs will be the total evaluated price for each proposal.
(3) ) Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors.
(4) All proposals will be reviewed for timeliness. If the proposal is received after the closing date and does not meet the criteria for “late submissions” in the solicitation, the proposal will not be opened.
a). Timely proposals will be reviewed for compliance to the solicitation. If the proposal does not comply with the requirements of the solicitation, the proposal will not be evaluated further and the offeror will be notified that the proposal is nonresponsive.
b) Timely and compliant offers will be ranked from lowest to highest price.
c) The requiring activity will conduct a technical evaluation. The lowest-priced offeror’s technical proposal will be evaluated by the technical team. If the proposal is technically acceptable, no other proposals will be evaluated. If the lowest-priced offeror’s technical proposal is unacceptable, the next lowest-priced offeror’s technical proposal will be evaluated. This process will continue until a technical proposal is identified as technically acceptable.
d) The lowest priced technically acceptable offer will be evaluated for past performance. If the offeror’s past performance is rated acceptable, the process will proceed to the price reasonableness evaluation.
Past Performance
(1) Past Performance will be evaluated from the references submitted providing the requested information about previous projects held. The Government also has the right to contact former customers, government agencies, and other private and public sources of information. Offerors must either provide the requested information or state that it possesses no relevant (projects within the past 3 years), directly related or similar past.
Past performance will be on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis using the following ratings:
Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offer will successfully perform the required effort.
Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.
(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) Option to Extend Services Clause at 52.217-8:
Offerors are advised that the Option to Extend Services Clause at FAR 52.217-8 is included in this solicitation and will be included in the awarded contract.
During the evaluation of offers, the Contracting Officer will add the cost of a six-month FAR 52.217-8 extension period to all evaluated offers. The cost of this six-month extension period will be calculated as follows:
Rate Charged: The FAR 52.217-8 monthly rate charged will be identical to the monthly rate charged during the contract’s final period of performance (which is the final option period exercised or the base period if there are no options included in the contract).
Total Evaluated Price of FAR 52.217-8 Extension: The total price of the evaluated FAR 52.217-8 period of performance costs will be the monthly rate of the last option period (or the base period if there are no options) multiplied by six-months.”
(d) Award Determination. All proposals will be evaluated using the criteria above. In order to be considered for Award, a proposal must receive an acceptable or neutral rating during the evaluation process for Past Performance.
All proposals that receive and acceptable or neutral ratings will then be ranked according to overall price to include Base plus Options. The proposal who has the Lowest Priced that is deemed complete and reasonable will receive the contract award. The Government intends to award one (1) contract.
(e) 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.

BONDS AND INSURANCE
FAR Part 28 Subpart 28.3 Insurance Overseas Workers’ Compensation and War-Hazard Insurance (Defense Base Act)
a. Contractors are required to procure Defense Base Act (DBA) insurance coverage, when required, from an approved Department of Labor (DoL) insurance carrier (names available on the DoL website). Regardless of dollar value or length of the proposed contract, DBA insurance is mandatory for services, construction, and supply contracts that include installation, maintenance or training. However, for supply contracts, only the installation, maintenance or training is subject to DBA. DBA applies to prime and subcontractors at all tiers.
b. Only the DoL may grant a geographic waiver for DBA insurance. There are NO geographic waivers for Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia or Lebanon.
c. KOs will insert the following information in the “Instructions” area of new solicitations (FAR 52.212-1 Addendum if commercial; Section L if non-commercial):
DEFENSE BASE ACT (DBA) INSURANCE
The contractor shall purchase DBA insurance only from carriers that are authorized to provide such coverage by the United States Department of Labor (DoL). This requirement also applies to all subcontractors. The DoL maintains a website that contains a complete list of authorized insurance carriers: http://www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/lscarrier.htm.
Carriers authorized to provide DBA insurance are identified with the letters “DB” in the column titled “Acts Covered.”
d. KOs will insert the following information in the “PRICE” factor “evaluation” area of new solicitations (FAR 52.212-2 Addendum if commercial; Section M if non-commercial). The estimated amount proposed for DBA insurance will not be evaluated; however, the cost of DBA insurance will be included in the total contract amount.
e. Requirements that do not lend themselves to DBA insurance are service contract which does not require performance of work at the site or on the project. Examples include software subscriptions and licensing, newspaper/magazine subscriptions, lease of billboards, lease of non-tactical vehicles without maintenance or operators at the site, and internet services without service personnel at the site. All construction requirements must include DBA insurance, regardless of the location where performance occurs.
f. At the solicitation stage, the KO may, at his or her option, consider requesting evidence that the offeror is capable of obtaining DBA insurance from an approved carrier. The offeror can satisfy the KO’s request in the form of a quotation or estimate from the offeror’s broker or insurance provider. While DBA information may be requested with the offeror’s proposal/quotation, DBA can be obtained any time prior to award. As such, an offeror’s failure to submit DBA information with the offer is NOT justification to reject that offer.
f. Additional Guidance:
1. Insert FAR 52.228-3 in the solicitation and subsequent contract.
2. Solicitations and subsequent contracts will include a separately priced DBA “ESTIMATED” (EST) CLIN in the pricing schedule. The evaluation criteria will state that the DBA EST CLIN will NOT be evaluated. The KO will insert the following mandatory description for the DBA EST CLIN in the pricing schedule:
“The amount listed by the offeror on this contract line item number (CLIN) is the estimated DBA insurance premium (estimated payroll of the Offeror and its subcontractors). The DBA insurance premium amount varies with payroll and the nature of the services. The actual amount paid by the Government under this CLIN will be based on the amount of the stamped “PAID” receipt from an approved Department of Labor (DoL) insurance carrier and submitted by the offeror after award for reimbursement. In the event premiums are recalculated by the approved DoL insurance carrier based on actual payrolls, the contracting officer will adjust the DBA cost CLIN amount to reflect the actual premium amount paid. The U.S. Government will NOT reimburse the contractor for DBA insurance purchased from a non-DoL approved insurance provider.”
3. The contractor will provide proof of DBA insurance (insurance policy) to the contracting officer within 14 days after award. However, in no circumstances will performance begin until the contractor has provided proof of DBA insurance to the KO. If one insurance provider will not sell DBA to the contractor, the contractor must seek insurance coverage through other approved DoL providers. If the contractor is unable to provide proof of DBA insurance within 14 days, the KO will terminate the contract for cause (default if non-commercial) and award to the next low offeror. Upon proof of a PAID receipt from an approved DoL insurance provider (KO will verify the validity of the insurance before payment), the contractor shall be reimbursed for the actual amount PAID for the DBA insurance under the EST CLIN in the pricing schedule of the contract.
