52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(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 shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Technical Approach

2. Past Performance

3. Price

4. Small Business Participation

All non-price factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price.

(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.

(End of provision)

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL ITEMS

The Government intends to evaluate proposals in accordance with the criteria described within the solicitation. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offers. The Government will not award a contract to a firm whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001. Before award to a higher priced offer when a lower priced, conforming Offer(s) remains, the Source Selection Authority (SSA) must affirmatively determine that the higher priced offer’s technical superiority justifies award to that Offeror and offers the best value to the government. Innovations in proposals will be evaluated to determine if creative ideas of the Offeror are a better value to the Government compared to the minimum criteria. Innovations must be clearly delineated in the price proposal, and if awarded, will be incorporated into the resulting contract. This contract will be awarded to the Offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government, noting that as proposals become increasingly technically equal and are awardable in other non-price areas, the proposed price will become increasingly determinative in the best value decision. The following evaluation factors will be used:

Technical approach is the most important factor. All the non-price factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price.

However, as proposals become increasingly technically equal (and at least awardable in the other non-price areas), the proposed price will become increasingly determinative in making best value decision for award.

The adjectival rating scale to be applied for Factor I, Technical, will use a combined technical/risk rating of Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, Marginal or Unacceptable in conjunction with the significant strengths, strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, uncertainties and deficiencies in determining technical ratings. Proposals must receive a technical rating of acceptable or better to be eligible for award. See Table 1 below for descriptions of the adjectival ratings.

TABLE 1

Adjectival Rating Description

*Technical proposals shall receive an adjectival rating of Acceptable or better to be eligible for award.

2. Past Performance.

Factor II, Past Performance, will be evaluated for recency, relevancy and quality. Past Performance is limited to projects and/or contracts that are relevant to the type of work being solicited and were performed within the last three (3) years prior to the RFP release date. Past Performance portions of the proposals will receive a Recency Rating, a Relevancy Rating, and a Confidence Assessment, as detailed below:

TABLE 2

TABLE 3

3. Price

Factor III (Price) will not be assigned an adjectival rating but the Government will evaluate all aspects of the price proposal for fairness, reasonableness, and balance. Offers found to be unreasonably high may be considered unacceptable and may be rejected solely on that basis. The proposed prices in Factor III Price, will be evaluated to assure that the final agreed to price is fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b) and FAR 15.404-1(c). In accordance with FAR 15.306, the Government intends to make an award without discussions; however, the Government reserves the right to hold discussions, if necessary. Again, to be eligible for award, the price proposal will be evaluated for fairness, reasonableness and balance to determine the best value to the Government. Offers found to be unreasonably high may be considered unacceptable and rejected solely on that basis.

4. Small Business Participation

Factor (IV), Small Business Participation evaluators will evaluate proposals and an adjectival rating of Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Unacceptable, as defined in the DOD Source Selection Procedures (DFAR PGI 215.3 dated 31 March 2016) and the Army Source Selection Supplement (AS3) to the Department of Defense Source Selection Procedures dated 21 December 2012.

*See definition of Total Contract Value/Total Acquisition Value located within this RFP.

Eligibility for Award:

To be eligible for award, a proposal must receive a rating of 1) Acceptable or better on Factor I, Technical Capability, 2) No lower than Neutral Confidence on Factor II, Past Performance, and 2) Acceptable or better for Factor IV, Small Business Participation Plan.

Basis for Award

This is a full and open competition that will be awarded based upon the best value to the Government. The Government intends to award without discussions, however, it reserves the right to enter into discussions if deemed necessary.

The price proposal will include binding labor rates across a series of labor categories. Offeror shall provide hourly burdened rates for ALL labor categories provided on the Pricing Worksheet. Offeror shall NOT provide additional labor categories. This factor will not receive an adjectival rating, as with Factors I, II and IV. The Government may reject an offer if evaluation reveals a lack of price fairness or reasonableness.

2. Volume 2 Factor II - Past Performance

2. Factor II - Past Performance

The goal of the Government’s past performance evaluation will be to rate the offeror's likelihood of success in performing the solicitation's requirements based upon that offeror's record of past performance. In this context, “offeror” refers to the proposed prime contractor.

Offerors should provide for themselves, as the prime contractor--offeror, three (3) CPARS reports or three (3) PPQs or a combination thereof (i.e., 2 CPARS and 1 PPQ or 2 PPQ and 1 CPARS). Additionally, prime contractor offerors intending to utilize or partner with any other entity (e.g.,subcontractor/team member/joint venture/partner) in the performance of the recurring maintenance portion of this requirement should submit the same number of CPARS/PPQs reports or a combination thereof for that entity. Furthermore, in order to have another entity's past performance submittals considered in the evaluation of the offeror's past performance, the offeror shall provide, in VOLUME 5, the letters of commitment, teaming agreements, or any other titled agreements which shall demonstrate either 1) a MUTUAL agreement between the prime contractor offeror and the other entity to work together on this contract for the recurring maintenance portion ONLY or 2) that the two or more entities agree to partner to perform the entire contract as a single prime contractor offeror.

Due to the competition in subcontracting requirements of the FAR and the PWS regarding the service order portions of this requirement, these agreements will be considered for past performance evaluation purposes ONLY; furthermore, said agreements shall not be recognized for any service order level requirements, unless the agreement partners two or more entities that form an independent single entity that functions as a single prime contractor offeror to entirely self-perform the service order portion.

NOTICE: Unless entirely self-performing as a prime contractor offeror, offerors shall compete all subcontracted service order work which exceeds the threshold established in the PWS and the FAR (micro purchase threshold).

Include copies of CPARS reports and/or page one (1) of each PPQ into your proposal. Provide correct and current phone numbers and email addresses for the PPQ customer point of contact. The Government will attempt to contact those customers who did not return a completed PPQ. The Government may contact those evaluators that returned a completed PPQ. CPARS reports will be verified by the government prior to past performance review.

Individual service order PPQs/CPARS under the same Task Order will not count more than once; cannot use the same project/contract for both PPQ and CPARS.

NOTE 1: CPARS and PPQ pages are not included in the page count.

A “contractor team arrangement” is an arrangement in which: (1) two or more companies form a partnership or joint venture to act as a potential prime contractor; or (2) a potential prime contractor agrees with one or more other companies to have them act as its subcontractors under a specified Government contract or acquisition program (see FAR 9.6). Past performance evaluation will consist of CPARS reviews and/or review of Past Performance Risk Assessment Questionnaires (PPQs) for the Prime Contractor and its team members. .

Past performance of prime contractors whose firms are divided into severable segments (i.e. division, group, unit, etc.) will only be evaluated for those segments of the firm(s) that will actually perform the work. The Government may properly consider past performance of an offeror's affiliated companies where the firm's proposal demonstrates that the resources of the affiliated company will affect the performance of the offeror. For these affiliated companies to be considered in the past performance rating, offeror must include a teaming agreement, as applicable. Past Performance references will first be reviewed to determine the relevancy of the past performance information. The Government will evaluate projects that are either currently underway (minimum 75% complete as billed or accomplished) or completed no more than three years preceding the closing date of this solicitation.

Past Performance is limited to projects and/or contracts that are relevant to the type of work being solicited and were performed within the last three (3) years prior to the RFP release date. Past Performance portions of the proposals will receive a Recency Rating, a Relevancy Rating, and a Confidence Assessment, as detailed below:

a. Recency of work (within the last 3 years)— If the submittal regards work outside the last 3 years, it will not be evaluated further.

b. Relevancy of work (including context of data)—evaluated as very relevant, relevant, somewhat relevant, and not relevant. Only submittals that evaluators consider are somewhat relevant or better will receive further evaluation/consideration in the overall Confidence Assessment rating.

c. Quality evaluated to determine how well offerors performed on past contracts based on information from customers.

d. Overall confidence Rating assigned to Past Performance in its Entirety--Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Neutral Confidence, Limited Confidence, or No Confidence. Neutral Confidence or better will be required for award. If no recent/relevant performance record is available or if the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will be given a “Neutral Confidence” assessment rating.

The Government will evaluate performance ratings by the customer (e.g. CPARS and/or Past Performance Questionnaires). If no recent/relevant performance record is available or if the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will be given a “Neutral Confidence” assessment rating.

The offeror is cautioned that in conducting the performance risk assessment, the Government may use data provided in the offeror's proposal in addition to data obtained from other sources. The Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

Since the Government may not necessarily obtain information on all of the listed contract references and/or may not contact all of the identified POCs provided by the offeror, it is required for the offeror to explain the relevance of the data provided. In the event that adverse past performance information is obtained from other sources, and the agency conducts either discussions or communications with the particular offeror as defined in FAR 15.306, the offeror if otherwise competitive for award will have the opportunity to respond to any adverse information received which it had not had a previous opportunity to comment.

Please forward the PPQ (Attachment 03) to your customer POC, as well as the government POC, after completing section one (1). Offeror should request that the customer POC email the completed questionnaire directly to the Government POC.

The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project the offeror includes in its proposal for Factor II Past Performance. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted with your proposal. If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ (Attachment 03), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government via email at CEHNC-DLAFuelsPPQs@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted information from other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

Provide copies of CPARS reports and/or PPQs into your proposal. Provide correct and current phone numbers and email addresses for the PPQ customer point of contact. The Government will attempt to contact those customers who did not return a completed PPQ, but again, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror. Therefore, the offeror is encouraged to verify with the customer [not with the Government (HNC)] that the PPQ is submitted to the government.

The Government may contact those customers that returned a completed PPQ for clarifications, if necessary. CPARS reports will be verified by the government prior to past performance review. Offerors may provide information on problems encountered on the contracts identified in past performance submissions and corrective action taken.

In addition to the above, the Government reserves the right to perform a CPARS search on all Offerors, as well as, using DLA – Fuels personal program knowledge of DLA Fuels task order holders/contract awardee(s) to consider any other relevant past performance information.

Include copies of CPARS reports and/or page one (1) of each PPQ into your proposal. Provide correct and current phone numbers and email addresses for the PPQ customer point of contact. The Government will attempt to contact those customers who did not return a completed PPQ. The Government may contact those evaluators that returned a completed PPQ. CPARS reports will be verified by the government prior to past performance review.

NOTE 1: CPARS and PPQ pages are not included in the page count.

3. Factor III - Price

The Offeror shall provide a firm fixed price proposal. Each CLIN should be priced separately with the exception of the Minor and Emergency Repair (MR) CLIN. The MR CLIN amount will be set by the Government as an annual estimated ceiling amount. The Government anticipates this amount to be $1,800,000 for the base year and $1,800,000 for each option year. CLIN 0004, Minor and Emergency Repairs, will be evaluated as at estimated amount ($1.8M) for all Offerors. Do not price this CLIN.

Regarding the MR CLIN, actual pricing for MR will be determined and agreed upon at the time of Service Order (SO) award. Nevertheless, the Offeror is required to list all professional labor categories and administrative mark ups that the Offeror anticipates using in administering the service orders on a separate spreadsheet as indicated in Attachment 5. The Offeror shall not exceed the labor rates or markups in the contract, but is encouraged to offer lower rates which will be used for the award of service orders under this contract.

Submit the price proposal to perform the work described in the contractor binder. Please submit price proposed per site for each maintenance interval (quarterly, semi-annual, annual).

The service order process will be utilized to cover minor and emergency repair services at all facilities. These (firm-fixed price) service orders will pertain to needed minor or emergency unscheduled repairs. The awardee will not be entitled to the full amount obligated on CLIN 0004 unless the full amount is earned for performance of approved service orders. Each submitted service order and monthly report under this order will include a current balance sheet (indicating service order facility code, service order number, PWS description, service order CLIN/Sub-CLIN, and service order amount) to document that adequate are available/adequate funds remain. The Government will also keep a set of records for approved service orders and a working balance sheet for reconciliation and funding purposes. At the end of the performance period, any unused service order funds will be de-obligated and returned to the customer. See the enclosed Addendum A: Contract Binder for more information related to the service order process and service order form.

Offerors shall submit their proposals on the attached Pricing Worksheet as Solicitation Attachment 05 to RFP W912DY-17-R-0058 in Microsoft Excel format.

Price will be the deciding factor in the event that two or more evaluations are considered equal such as an overall rating tie. To evaluate compliance with FAR Clause 52.222-6 (Construction Wage Rate Requirements, formerly Davis Bacon Act) and 52.222-41 (Service Contract Labor Standards, formerly Service Contract Act), firms shall show separate price breakouts for the base Offer and option years 1 through 2, and the 6 month option to extend services, using the format specified below:

a. Tab A - Prime Contractor Price Proposal/Pricing Worksheet

1. Professional & Nonprofessional Labor (includes burdened hourly rates and labor categories).

Offeror shall provide hourly burdened rates for ALL labor categories provided on the Pricing Worksheet. Offeror shall NOT provide additional labor categories. Separate tabs have been provided for separate location labor rates.

2. Equipment/Supplies/Materials as required for Recurring Maintenance CLINS 0001- 0003 (include breakdowns showing types of materials, unit costs, and extended unit costs).

3. Travel as required for Recurring Maintenance CLINS X001-X003 (specify travel related components and include applicable rates). Note: Travel Cost Estimates will be evaluated in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR).

4. Other Prime Contractor Total Proposed Price (Service Order Pricing Components)

a. Prime Service Order Fee - See Contract Binder: Attachment 01: Appendix A, Section 4.0, Service Order Pricing for more information.

b. Emergency Service Order Fee – See Contract Binder: Attachment 01: Appendix A, Section 4.0, Service Order Pricing for more information.

5. Total Price Proposed

Since minor and emergency repair service orders will be a significant portion of this proposed award, a service order price analysis will be performed to evaluate the effects of each Offeror’s labor and service order price components. Examples of previous minor and emergency service orders will be developed, each identifying a number of prime and subcontractor labor hours and labor categories to be utilized. Each Offeror’s labor and price components will be applied equally across the service orders to determine the effects of how the Offeror’s labor rates and fees will potentially forecast future Service Order prices. The results of this analysis will be evaluated for reasonableness.

The price proposal cover sheet must include a recap of your proposal (i.e. overall total proposed, proposed base year FFP, proposed option years FFP, and the FFP of any exercise of the option to extend services under Clause 52.217-8, for up to six months, incorporated herein to allow for proper evaluation pursuant to FAR Part 6 requirements.
