Factor 1: Experience Factor 2: Past Performance Factor 3: Price

3. EVALUATION APPROACH

All quotes will be evaluated by the Technical Evaluation Team. A quote must receive an “Acceptable” rating in all non-price factors to be considered for award. The two non-price factors are Experience and Past Performance.

4. RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF FACTORS

Factor 1, Experience and Factor 2 Past Performance are equally important. When combined, both non-priced factors are equal to Factor 3 Price.

5. EVALUATION CRITERIA

FACTOR 1 –EXPERIENCE:

The Government will evaluate the Experience factor on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis based on the descriptions outlined in Table C-1. Offerors who are determined “Unacceptable” will not be eligible for award.

Experience Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings and Evaluation Method:

Table C-1 Experience Evaluation Ratings Rating Description

ACCEPTABLE Quote meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

UNACCEPTABLE Quote does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

The Government will evaluate experience capabilities of the Offeror.

To be considered acceptable for FACTOR 1, Offerors shall submit evidence of item’s

A, B & C below:

**Please complete and submit Exhibit A**

a. The Prime Contractor is required to submit TWO commercial contracts demonstrating 10 years’ experience completing grounds maintenance on projects of a similar size and scope to the Clock Tower Complex grounds maintenance project. Current references for these contracts, must be included with the two contracts submitted.

b. The Prime Contractor is required to submit a list of personnel, who will be working on this potential contract, as proof of the companies’ ability to self-perform at least 85% of the on-site work thru their own staffing and equipment.

c. The Prime Contractor is required to have a facility to be located within 60 miles of the project location.

All information submitted must be accurate and complete.

All project examples shall contain a Point of Contact (POC) as well as one alternate Point of Contact, to include the name, job title of the POC, address, telephone, and e-mail address. The POC and alternate shall be familiar with the scope and details of the project and be a representative of the owner/customer/prime contractor, not affiliated with the Offeror. The POC and alternate shall be able to verify the experience cited.

FACTOR 2 –PAST PERFORMANCE:

Past performance information may be obtained from established systems such as the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; and may be obtained from other sources available to the Government, such as the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials.

The Government reserves the right to evaluate the past performance of any team member in the Offeror’s quote using all CAGE/DUNS numbers (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified as part of its assessment of the acceptability of that Offeror’s quote.

The Government will evaluate the Past Performance factor on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis based on the descriptions outlined in Table C-2. Offerors who are determined “Unacceptable” will not be eligible for award.

Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings and Evaluation Method:

Table C-2 Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Rating Description ACCEPTABLE Offerors whose past performance information demonstrates all the elements being rated at satisfactory or above, or whose performance record is unknown (see note below), will be rated Acceptable for Past Performance.

UNACCEPTABLE Offerors whose past performance information demonstrates any of the element being rated as marginal or lower will be rated Unacceptable for Past Performance.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

FACTOR 3 -- PRICE:

Price will be evaluated and considered but will not be scored or combined with other aspects of the quote evaluation. An award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote. The lowest price will be determined by adding up all listed line items. Offerors shall complete and submit the Schedule of Prices with its quote and include a price for each line item. Failure to submit a price for any of the required line items on the Schedule of Prices will render the Offeror’s quote as ineligible for award. Offerors will be allowed one quote submission.

The Technical Evaluation Team will evaluate each Offeror’s price and verify that unbalanced pricing is not present. The Contracting Officer will evaluate each Offeror’s price in accordance with FAR 15.404-1 to determine price reasonableness. Price reasonableness will be determined by comparing all quoted prices, the Independent Government Estimate, and pricing of previous work that is equivalent or similar to the requirement.
