Addendum to Evaluation - Commercial Product and Commercial Services

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

Replace 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.

B. BASIS FOR AWARD (Section M)

The award will be made based on the best overall (i.e., best value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the 3 evaluation factors: Technical, Price and Past Performance. The Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will use a Best Value Tradeoff process to determine which proposal represents the best value to the Government. Technical and Past Performance factors are equally important and are both are significantly more important than Price. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for the Factor 1- Technical (to include all subfactors). The Government is interested in proposals that present the best value in meeting the requirements with acceptable risk at a fair and reasonable price. NOTE: ALL NON-

PRICED FACTORS COMBINED ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN

COST/PRICE.

C. FACTORS AND SUBFACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

The following evaluation factors and subfactors will be used to evaluate each proposal:

Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and subfactors described below. The Government reserves the right to make award based upon the Cost/Price factor in the event Technical and Past Performance evaluation results of all the offerors’ proposals are substantially the same.

Factor 1: The Technical factor is further divided into the following subfactors:

A. Management, Personnel & Subcontractors B. Planning and Execution C. Contract Management

Subfactors A, B & C under the Technical factor are equally important.

Addendum to Evaluation - Commercial Product and Commercial Services Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

Evaluation of the offeror’s proposal shall address each Technical subfactor as it applies to the Performance Work Statement (PWS) unless otherwise specified in the subfactor. A detailed explanation of the criteria for the evaluation is set forth in the “Evaluation Approach”, Paragraph D of this section. During evaluation of each proposal, the Government will assign each Technical subfactor an adjectival rating and write a narrative evaluation reflecting the identified findings.

Factor 2: Price: The resulting award will be a Firm-Fixed Price. Cost realism will be utilized in the evaluation of Cost Reimbursable efforts. Price reasonableness will be utilized in the evaluation of the Firm-Fixed Price effort.

Factor 3: Past Performance: Each offeror’s past performance will be reviewed to determine relevancy and confidence assessment.

D. EVALUATION APPROACH

All proposals shall be evaluated by the Source Selection Team (SST).

1. The overarching evaluation approach for all factors and subfactors is as follows:

a. Adequacy of Response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s methods and approach have adequately and completely considered, defined, and satisfied the requirements specified in the RFP. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which each requirement has been addressed in the proposal in accordance with the proposal submission section of the

RFP.

b. Feasibility of Approach. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the proposed approach is workable and the end results achievable.

The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which successful performance is contingent upon proven devices and techniques. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the offeror is expected to be able to successfully complete the proposed tasks and technical requirements within the required schedule.

2. The Technical factor is divided into the following subfactors:

Subfactor 1: This subfactor evaluates the offeror’s proposed Management, Personnel & Subcontractors for the base contract period and all option years. Marginal levels of overall Management, Personnel & Subcontractors could indicate a lack of understanding concerning mission requirements and may result in the entire proposal receiving an unfavorable rating and/or being eliminated from the competitive range.

Offerors should address, at a minimum, all items below in order to receive an Acceptable rating:

A. Management and Staffing:

• Detailed chart indicating total staffing to include administrative, key personnel, management, labor, etc.

• Tasks that will be subcontracted

• Staffing chart should clearly identify the positions and appropriate task(s) based on identified standards in the base contract PWS

B. Personnel Qualifications/Experience:

• Qualifications and experience of key personnel (Project Manager, Quality

Control Officer and Safety Office – 5 years minimum experience each),

• Qualifications and experience of site supervisors, pesticide applicators, heavy equipment operators, wildlife monitors, etc.

C. Subcontractors:

• Major subcontractors to be used to execute the PWS

• Qualifications, experience, roles and responsibilities of major subcontractors

Subfactor 2: This subfactor evaluates the offeror’s Planning and Execution. Major emphasis will be placed on the following:

A. Pre-performance Plan:

• Plan to execute all pre-performance activities required to execute services by the requirement commencement date (seven (7) days after award of a task order.))

• Plan includes hiring and training of personnel, acquisition and storage of supplies and equipment, etc.

• Milestones that show sequenced events in the description

B. Work Execution - PWS:

• Description of how work execution will occur in a timely and efficient manner while ensuring quality work is achieved to deliver the full scope of contract requirements
