If, during performance of the contract, it becomes necessary for the contractor to substitute personnel for one of those whose qualifications were the basis for evaluation of the offer and award of the contract, the contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer the same information that was required in the initial proposal regarding the proposed substitute employee. The Contracting Officer shall have the right to review the qualifications of the proposed substitute employee and to approve or disapprove his or her qualifications. If the proposed substitute employee's qualifications are disapproved by the Contracting Officer, the contractor will propose another employee who does possess equivalent qualifications.

4. When an offeror submits its proposal in response to a Request For Proposals and that proposal contains any work, materials, methods or other type of betterment that provides an advantage to the Government that is above the minimum requirements contained in the RFP, the terms of the proposal will be the basis for evaluation and, if successful, will become the terms of the contract upon award.

Only the Contracting Officer has the authority to negotiate a waiver of the terms of the contract.

7.0 BASIS FOR AWARD

The selection will be based on evaluation of technical and price factors. There are four non-price (technical) factors: Technical Factor 1 - Corporate Experience; Technical Factor 2 - Past Performance; Technical Factor 3 – Key Personnel; and Technical Factor 4 – Utilization of Small Business.

Price will be evaluated by the Price Team. Proposal prices must be entered for all items in the Proposal. The Price Team will evaluate the price proposals to recommend fair and reasonableness.

The Government intends to award a contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation and proposes the Best Value to the Government under a Traditional Subjective Tradeoff Process under FAR 15.101-1. The selection will be based on Factors identified in Table 1 below. The relative importance of the evaluation factors is as follows:

Table 1: Relative Importance of Factors

Volume Factor

Number

FACTOR RELATIVE IMPORTANCE

1 - Tab B 1 Corporate Experience Equal in importance to Factor 3 and significantly more important than Factors 2 & 4.

1 – Tab C 2 Past Performance Significantly less important than

Factors 1 & 3. More important than Factor 4.

1 – Tab D 3 Key Personnel Equal in importance to Factor 1 and significantly more important than Factors 2 & 4.

1 – Tab E 4 Utilization of Small Business Significantly less important than

Factors 1 & 3. Less important than Factor 2.

When applying the traditional subjective tradeoff process, all evaluation factors when combined, are significantly more important than price. The closer the total evaluated non-price ratings are to one another, the greater importance of the price evaluation in making the Best Value - Tradeoff determination. The closer the final price evaluations are to one another, the greater the importance of the total evaluated non-price ratings in making the Best Value - Tradeoff determination. Offerors will be cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the offeror providing the lowest priced proposal or the highest technically rated proposal.
