1. PROPOSAL OVERVIEW: This Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits the Equipment Rental for Drainage and Site Work (Phase 2) at the Clouter Creek Disposal Area, Berkeley County, South Carolina. This will be a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract. The purpose of the Source Selection Evaluation Criteria is to establish a uniform evaluation procedure for the technical evaluation by the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB), and development of a selection decision by the Source Selection Authority (SSA), using the Low Price Past Performance Tradeoff (LPPT) source selection process. In as much as the proposal shall describe the capability of the Offeror to perform any resulting contract, the proposal should be specific and complete in every detail. The proposal should be prepared simply and economically, providing a straightforward and concise description of capabilities to satisfactorily perform the contract. The proposal should be practical, legible, clear, and coherent.

• 1.1 Proposal Submissions and the Low Price Past Performance Tradeoff Process. This process permits tradeoffs among cost or price and non-cost factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal. Offerors submit their Corporate Relevant Specialized Experience information for review and consideration by the Government. Following the review, evaluation, and rating of these proposals, the Government will evaluate price proposals for contractors that have acceptable technical proposals. The technical information contained in the proposals shall be reviewed and evaluated by the Government in accordance with the evaluation criteria provided in paragraph 4, Evaluation and 6, Rating Methodology. The SSEB reviews, evaluates, and rates the proposals against the source selection criteria in the RFP. Price information will not be rated, but will be evaluated in accordance with FAR Part 15, funding limitations set out in Section 0010 – Bid Schedule, and in comparison to other Offeror’s price proposals. The perceived benefits of the higher priced proposal shall merit the additional cost, and the rationale for tradeoffs must be documented.

7. EXCEPTIONS. Exceptions to the contractual terms and conditions of the solicitation (e.g., standard company terms and conditions) may result in a determination to reject a proposal.

8. RESTRICTIONS. Failure to submit all the data in the format indicated in this section may be cause for determining a proposal incomplete and, therefore, not considered for evaluation, and for subsequent award.

9. PRICE.

9.1 The Government will perform a price analysis on all proposals received. Price analysis will be performed in accordance with FAR 15.404-1, to determine completeness, reasonableness, and understanding of the work. The evaluation will determine the adequacy of the offer in fulfilling the requirements of the proposal. Completeness addresses the extent to which the elements of the price proposal are consistent with the requirements of the RFP.

Reasonableness will be established using historical price information, price competition information, the IGE, and any other pricing tools necessary.

The Government will award a contract to the responsible Offeror whose technical submittal and price proposal contains the combination of those criteria described in this document offering the best overall value to the Government. Best value will be determined by a comparative assessment of proposals against all source selection criteria in this RFP.

10.3 The Government reserves the right to reject any and all offers.

10.4 Offerors are reminded to include their best technical and price terms in their initial offer and not to automatically assume that they will have an opportunity to participate in discussions or be asked to submit a revised offer.
