Offerors are encouraged to provide their best proposed pricing in their initial offer.

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:

FACTOR 1 Technical and Management Capability (Acceptable/Unacceptable) FACTOR 2 Past Performance (Acceptable/Unacceptable) FACTOR 3 Price

This is a competitive lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection, in which all evaluation factors are considered of equal importance.

**** Revised by Amendment 0003 ****

(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.

Submittals; It is incumbent upon the offeror to submit sufficient information for the Government to make a determination of your technical and management capability, and satisfactory past performance. Failure to submit sufficient information for the government to determine your technical and management capability, satisfactory past performance, or price may be cause for rejection of your proposal. The contractor shall provide sufficient documentation of their technical and management capability, by including technical literature, brochures, equipment list, list of key personnel, resumes, documentation of experience making deliveries of similar volumes, and meeting equivalent delivery schedules for like materials on contracts of a similar type, size, scope & complexity, and any other information to enable the Government to determine the offeror’s capability.

(1) Technical & Management Capability - offerors shall be evaluated on an (acceptable/unacceptable) basis considering the following sub-factors;

a. Capability to complete deliveries in accordance with the project Scope-of-Work, to all locations within the Vicksburg District boundaries, located in the states of Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi.

b. Capability to provide all the material types requested, including Stone, RipRap and quarried material from USACE approved sources. The offeror shall provide, with their proposal, a listing of approved quarries, from which they propose to furnish quarried stone, and rip rap materials.

c. Capability to complete delivery on schedule, and maintain minimum deliveries at the daily rates specified.

d. Experience of the company making deliveries of similar volumes, and meeting equivalent delivery schedules, for like materials, on contracts of a similar type, size, scope & complexity, within the last five (5) years.

e. Project Management and organization capability, including prior experience as a Contractor managing contracts of a similar nature, size, scope, and complexity, within the last five (5) years.

**** Revised by Amendment 0003 ****

(2) Satisfactory Past Performance - Past Performance will be evaluated on an (acceptable/unacceptable) basis. To demonstrate satisfactory past performance the offeror shall provide documentation of satisfactory performance on at least three (3), past or current contracts of a similar type, size, scope and complexity, performed within the last five (5) years, as well as, provide references, including names and contact information of references who can verify their past performance.

**** Revised by Amendment 0003 ****

Past performance information of key personnel and crew may be provided if the company has limited or no past performance. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror will be evaluated as neutral on Past Performance, providing the offeror supplies a certified statement with their offer that no past performance information is available. The Government’s approach to evaluating past performance is to check the references provided by the contractor to verify satisfactory past performance as well as data obtained from other sources available i.e.

government database, past contract files, etc. The offeror is cautioned that while the Government will consider data from other sources, the burden of demonstrating satisfactory past performance rests with the offeror.

The Government’s assessment will focus on contracts that meet the following conditions:

Recency. Only contracts that were performed or awarded within the last five (5) calendar years will be considered.

Relevancy. Only contracts which were/are relevant in scope will be considered.

(3) Price - Price will be examined to determine the extent to which proposed prices are comparable with the Government estimates, and previous procurement history, and a determination made of price reasonableness. The Government may reject any proposal that is determined to be NOT fair and reasonable, unrealistically high or low in price when compared to Government estimates, or are unbalanced, such that the proposal is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the requirements.

All proposals will be evaluated for price, from prices presented on the fully completed bidding schedule, based on the total of all line items. Pricing that is determined to be unrealistic may result in the rejection of your proposal. It is the government’s intent to award up to (8) contracts under the MATOC, from technically capable proposals, with satisfactory past performance, based on the lowest evaluated prices.

The contractor shall provide a copy of the completed SF-1449 Bidding Schedule with their proposal. Individual line item prices in the bidding schedule shall reflect the maximum price to SUPPLY the material listed in that line item, to the location specified, and will be used for the purpose of price evaluation.

Offerors must provide pricing on the entire bid schedule. Failure to provide pricing on all CLINs within the bidding schedule will be grounds for rejection your proposal. Offerors shall provide their pricing for the Base Year and All Option Years.

Unbalanced Pricing; Unbalanced pricing exists when one or more contract line item is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. Proposal CLINs shall be analyzed to determine if proposed CLIN prices are unbalanced. An offer may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.
