Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration. NOTE: All questions and clarification regarding this solicitation must be submitted via email; subject line to read:

Question/Clarification for W912EP20R0010. The deadline date/time for questions and clarifications is no later than 12 Feb 2020 @ 0900 hrs EST. All questions or clarifications shall be compiled into one (1) email.

The deadline date will allow the Government adequate time to prepare and issue responses to all offerors prior to the date and time set forth for receipt of proposal. All questions/clarifications shall be emailed to Dewayne.A.Sparks@usace.army.mil and cc’d Gerald.garvey@usace.army.mil.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.

Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

This part of the technical proposal, Volume II, shall be addressed in sufficient written detail for the Government to determine if the offeror understands this aspect of the Government’s requirement. The offeror shall address each factor separately, and shall provide sufficient narrative and supporting data for each factor and supporting elements.

Lack of any of these significant capabilities shall be considered sufficient cause for the proposal to be determined unacceptable. The Technical Proposal shall provide sufficient detail for the Government to determine whether the proposal acceptably meets the requirements of the solicitation. Statements that the offeror understands, can or will comply with all specifications, or statements paraphrasing the specifications of parts thereof, or phrases such as “standard procedures will be used” or “well-known techniques will be used” will be considered unacceptable.

Factor 1. Technical. Each offeror’s technical proposal shall be evaluated based on the Elements below, to determine if the offeror provides a sound, compliant approach that meets the overall requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS), provided herein, and demonstrates a thorough knowledge and understanding of those requirements and their associated risks. The technical proposal addresses each of the following sub-paragraphs in sufficient detail.

a. Sub-Factor 1- Demonstrated Experience. The offeror shall provide an overview of their existing quality control system, and outline the following:

Provide three (3) examples of projects that were completed in the last five (5) years (measured from the date of this solicitation) which demonstrate that the offeror and its major subcontractors (if applicable) have experience performing pest control services. The Offeror must have the capability to perform all services identified within the PWS.

If the offeror is a joint venture, each firm shall provide information, demonstrating experience relevant to their role on this project.The offeror shall describe what measures and controls will be taken to ensure that quality control inspections are met. The offeror shall include discussion of any current or proposed quality control documents and/or reports that will be used to support their Quality Control Program and Inspection System.

The offeror shall describe in detail the procedures they would use for deficiency identification, correction, and control of all services provided for this requirement. The offeror shall describe what measures they would take to resolve any deficiencies. The offeror shall discuss their plan to prevent recurrence of identified performance deficiencies. The offeror shall outline their plan to respond to re-work in accordance with the performance work statement. The offeror shall describe what measures will be taken to avoid re-work.

VOLUME III – PAST PERFORMANCE (Factor 2)

a. The offeror shall submit evidence of past performance for three (3) contracts that the offeror currently has or has completed within the past five (5) years under which the offeror performed services as described in the performance work statement, in the public and/or private sector. Offerors that are newly formed entities without prior contract experience shall provide a list of references where their key personnel worked on the same or similar contracts. For each contract, include the following: (1) name, address, point of contact, and phone number of the facility; (2) contract number, award date, number of options, completion date, and contract type (e.g., indefinite-delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ), firm-fixed-price), type of competition held, if any (e.g., sole source, full and open); (3) itemized description of services, to include the size of the facility (square footage and bed capacity); (4) initial contract value (base and option periods) and adjusted contract value (any changes made to initial contract);

and (5) narrative description of each contract listed and the reasons why the offeror considers the contract to be similar to the effort required by this solicitation.

b. To expedite the evaluation process, offerors are requested to provide the individuals listed as references a letter authorizing the reference to provide information to the government. The offeror shall also provide a copy of the attached Past Performance Evaluation Questionnaire (PPQ) to its references with instructions to return the PPQ to the Contract Specialist (CS) (Dewayne.A.Sparks@usace.army.mil ) and Contracting Officer (Gerald.L.Garvey@usace.army.mil ), by the time specified in Block 8, SF 1449. The Government may begin surveying references immediately after the solicitation closing date; therefore, it is crucial that offerors immediately authorize their references to release information to the Government. It is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure the reference submits the PPQ for consideration.

c. The Government may also consider any additional information from its own files, databases such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), or from any other source it deems appropriate. The Government may survey references to verify the information provided.

d. The Government will not be responsible for tracking incorrect references and phone numbers, or those PPQs not submitted by the due date of the time specified in Block 8, SF 1449. Offerors are reminded that, while the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of providing thorough and complete past and present performance information rests with the offeror.

Note: If an offeror’s provided NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaires can not be verifiable with the POC, 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 past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

VOLUME IV – PRICING (Factor 3)

a. Schedule Pricing for Requirements. The offeror shall submit proposed pricing for all contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) and.or Exhibit Line Item Numbers (ELINs) identified in the Request for Proposal, Pricing Schedule unless otherwise noted. Note: Do not include quantities in the price list. All quantities will be included in individual task orders.

b. The offeror shall state if they have an indirect rate agreement with any Government agency and, if so, provide that agency’s contact information.

c. Other Pricing Data. The offeror shall submit pricing data to support the prices proposed. All hourly rates shall be fully burdened to include overhead, G&A expenses, fringes and all other applicable costs and profit.

d. Price will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness through the use of price analysis. The Contracting Officer will conduct the price analysis in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b). The price analysis will also check for the appearance of unbalanced line item prices.

e. Prices will be reviewed for minor or clerical errors. If necessary, offerors will be afforded an opportunity to resolve any such errors. Any exchange with offerors under this subparagraph shall be for the purpose of clarification (FAR 15.306(a)) and shall not constitute negotiations as defined at FAR 15.306(d). In the event of discrepancy between a unit price and the extended amount, the unit price shall be controlling

f. Prices will be reviewed for apparent mistakes. Should this review reveal any prices that seem unreasonably low, the Contracting Officer will contact the offeror and ask the offeror to confirm the questioned price. If the offeror confirms the price, no further action will be taken under this subparagraph. If, however, the offeror alleges a mistake, the offeror may modify the proposal in accordance with FAR 52.215-1(c) (6). Any modification submitted for the purpose of correcting a mistake shall include documentation explaining how the mistake was made.

g. After resolution of minor or clerical errors and/or mistakes, prices will be reviewed for reasonableness, realism, unbalanced pricing or any other price related issue that could pose an unacceptable risk to the Government or indicate the offeror does not clearly understand the requirement at hand.

Supplement paragraph 52.212-1(c) with the following:

Government’s Minimum Acceptance Period.

The minimum period for acceptance of offers is 180 calendar days after the date specified for receipt of proposals, or date of final proposal revisions (if requested), whichever is later. Offerors providing for less than 180 calendar days for government acceptance after the date specified will be rejected without consideration.

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:

SEE ADDENDUM 52.212-2

(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 52.212-2

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

Supplement paragraph 52.212-2(a) with the following:

The Government will evaluate each proposal strictly in accordance with its contents. A proposal that is unrealistic in terms of technical quality or price will be deemed reflective of an inherent lack of technical competence or indicative of failure to comprehend the contractual requirements. Such proposals may be determined unacceptable.

After review of initial proposals by the contracting officer, the Source Selection Evaluation Board will conduct an evaluation of the offeror’s technical proposal. Prior to being considered for award, an offeror shall demonstrate that it possesses the capabilities which the Government has determined essential to the reliable, efficient and timely accomplishment of the required services.

Award will be made using the lowest-price, technically-acceptable source selection process. Award will be made to the offeror that presents the offer that possesses all of the following characteristics:

(1) Meets the acceptability standards for non-price factors,

(2) Conforms to the solicitation,

(3) Is determined acceptable to the Government,

(4) Is from a responsible (as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 9) offeror.

(5) Has the lowest price of those offerors receiving an acceptable technical rating.

BASIS FOR AWARD

1 This acquisition will utilize a best value approach, in which the Government seeks to award to an offeror who provides the greatest confidence that they will meet the Government’s requirements affordably. The Best Value technique chosen for this particular acquisition will be Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable offer. Contract award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price or proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standard for non-cost factors. Each proposal will be evaluated for all factors listed below.

a. Proposals that are unrealistic in terms of technical or price may be rejected at any time during the evaluation process. Offerors are cautioned to follow the detailed instructions fully and carefully, as the Government reserves the right to make an award based on initial offers received, without discussion of such offers.

Note: If the Offeror receives an unacceptable rating in any one factor and/or sub-factor, they will be considered overall “Unacceptable” and will not be considered for award.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1: Technical Capability Factor 2: Past Performance Factor 3: Price

FACTOR 1 - TECHNICAL CAPABILITY: The offeror’s proposal shall include documentation addressing the qualification requirements in Part 5 of the PWS. Evaluator(s) shall assign a rating which falls within one of the following ranges according to the degree to which the offeror meets the minimum requirements described above:

Offerors shall demonstrate an understanding for the solicitation requirements by describing in detail their approach and plan to perform and manage the work specifically required by the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

Technical capability will be determined solely on the content and merit of the information submitted in response to the Request for Proposal (RFP). Therefore, it is incumbent on the offeror to provide sufficient technical documents in order for the Government to make an adequate technical assessment of the Offeror’s documentation. The Technical Capability portion of the proposal is limited to a length of 25 pages, and must be written in a practical, clear and concise manner. The technical approach must identify the methodology and analytical techniques the Offeror will use to fulfill the PWS requirements.

The Government will evaluate Technical proposals on the basis of Sub-factor 1) Management Plan, Overview, Capabilities, and Approach; Sub-factor 2) Organization and Personnel. For evaluation purposes, an “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” rating will be assigned to each Sub-factor as described in Table-1 below.

For a Technical Proposal to be “Acceptable,” all Sub-factors shall be “Acceptable.”

Table-1: Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

(1) Acceptable—Meets evaluation criteria and minimum requirements. Proposal is acceptable. Minor clarifications/corrections can be readily made.

(2) Unacceptable—Fails to meet minimum requirements. Deficiencies are significant and require major revisions to proposal to make it acceptable. If determined to be unacceptable, this will render the entire proposal as technically unacceptable and eliminate the offeror from further consideration.

FACTOR 2-PAST PERFORMANCE: Using information provided in your proposal, the contracting officer will review performance information for only those offerors rated technically acceptable.

a. In their proposal, Offerors shall include reference information as indicated in their Offeror Performance Information Data Sheets. Offerors shall provide information on up to three (3) previous Government contracts whose effort was relevant to the effort required by this solicitation; the contracts provided shall have been performed within the last three (3) years. The information shall include contract numbers, point of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information. The Government may evaluate an

Offeror’s past performance on less than the maximum possible number of references. If the Offeror has not had at least three (3) Government contracts within the last three (3) years, information on relevant subcontracts and/or commercial contracts may be submitted instead (the information must be clear whether the work by the Offeror was done as a prime contractor or a subcontractor). Offerors who describe similar contracts and subcontracts shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the similarity of the contracts to the requirements of the RFP. For each of the three (3) contracts provided as a reference, the Offeror shall provide a completed Offeror Performance Questionare Data Sheet.

b. The Government may verify past performance information. The Government may contact some or all of the references provided, as appropriate, and may collect information through questionnaires, telephone interviews and existing data sources to include but not limited to Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS). The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. This past performance information will be used for the evaluation of past performance. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure the problems it finds in the information provided by the Offeror. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the Offeror.

c. Past Performance will be rated on an “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” basis using the ratings in the table below.

PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION RATINGS:

(1) Acceptable—Based on Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

(2) Unacceptable—Based on Offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

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 favorable or unfavorable on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a) (2)(iv)). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

FACTOR 3: PRICE: Each offeror’s price will be evaluated for completeness and, unrealistically low proposed costs/prices may be grounds for eliminating a reasonableness proposal from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or the offeror has made an unrealistic proposal.

(a) Technical acceptability and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price.

(b) The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options, including the potential six months option period available under FAR 52.217-8, to the total price for the basic requirement. The pricing used for the option under FAR 52.217-8 will be based on the forth option year unit price multiplied by the quantities provided in Attachment Picing Sechedule.

(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.

(d) The Government reserves the right to require the offeror to submit…
