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(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally.

An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal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.

Services” provision at FAR 52.217-8 (for a period not to exceed six months), the Government will use the offered prices for all CLINs of the final option period, prorate them to determine a six-month value, then, add the prorated amount to the sum of all CLINs (base period plus all option periods). The resulting amount will be the total evaluated price. The Government may determine than an offer is unacceptable if the option prices appear to be significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the options.

(e) As part of its quote, the offeror will provide the estimated total cost (if any) incurred to comply with the Contractor

Manpower Reporting Application (CMRA) requirement. Offeror will determine, in Section B/Schedule of Supplies-

Services, CLIN(s) 7500 thru 7503, to price or not-separately-price (NSP) the CMRA requirement.

END OF ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1

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:

(1) Price, (2) Technical, and (3) Past Performance

Using these equally-weighted evaluation factors, the Government will award a contract from this solicitation to the responsible offeror, whose quote conforms to the Request for Quotations (RFQ) and is the lowest price, receiving an acceptable rating for the non-price factors. This basis of award is known as the lowest-price, technically acceptable

(LPTA) source selection process.

(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. To account for the possibility that the Government may utilize the “Option to

Extend Services” provision at FAR 52.217-8 (for a period not to exceed six months), the Government will use the offered prices for all CLINs of the final option period, take one-half to determine a six-month value, then add this amount to the sum of all CLINs ( base period plus all option periods). The resulting amount will be the Total

Evaluated Price (TEP). The Government may determine than 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.

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2

FAR 52.212-2 IS HEREBY TAILORED AS FOLLOWS:

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

A. The Government anticipates awarding a contract resulting from this RFQ and whose quote represents the best value to the Government utilizing the LPTA source selection process. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price meeting the technical acceptability and past performance acceptability standards as described in the RFQ. Technical acceptability will be based on a contractor submitting an offer that complies with all of the requirements listed in the RFQ and Performance Work Statement (PWS). A contractor’s ability to comply with all the requirements listed in the RFQ and PWS is met when they have received an

“acceptable” rating on all non-price factors. Only one contract will be awarded from this RFQ on an all-or-none basis. Offers for less than all of the solicited work will be rejected as non-conforming/non-responsive.

ALL OR NONE AWARD

Only one contract will be awarded from this solicitation. Award will be made on an all or none basis. Offers for less than all of the solicited work will be rejected as non-conforming/non-responsive. 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.

B. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors.

C. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

1) FACTOR I – PRICE

(a) The Total Evaluated Price (TEP) is equal to the extended price of all CLINs, plus one-half of the last and final option period CLINs ( FAR CLAUSE 52.217-8).

(b)All extended prices in Section B will be totaled to arrive at an evaluated price.

(c)All extensions of the unit price shown in Section B will be subject to verification by the government. In case of variation between the unit price and the extension, the unit price will be considered to be the offer and the total recomputed accordingly. If the offeror provides a total amount for a contract line item but fails to enter the unit price, the amount divided by the specified quantity will be held to be the intended unit price.

(d)The government may eliminate proposals with unrealistic prices from the competitive range on the basis that they demonstrate a lack of understanding of the requirement.

(e)The Government will evaluate the reasonableness of the offered prices. Normally, adequate price competition establishes a fair and reasonable price. Analytical technique and procedures described in

FAR 13.106-3 may be used, singly or in combination with others, to ensure that the final price is fair and reasonable.

(f)The Total Evaluated Price (TEP) is equal to the extended price of all CLINs in Section B, plus one-half of the last and final option period CLINs. The Total Evaluated Price (TEP) will be evaluated based upon price reasonableness and the competitive range if one is established.

2) FACTOR II – TECHNICAL

Offerors' response shall, in sufficient detail and description, convey understanding, capability and competence to supply an end product that meets stated characteristics in the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS) by providing a technical quote that outlines the following sub factor:

A) Provide Evidence of the following valid certifications:

3. Valid CEPA (Confederation of European Pest Management Associations) certification or any other equal European certification, required for certified professional pest applicator and that comply with European Standard EN 16636 requirements. The required certification must clearly demonstrate that the herbicide applicator has a valid certification for those services and is legally authorized to use herbicides products.

4. Valid ISA (International Society of Arboriculture certification), or any other equal European certification, required for certified arborist. The required certification must clearly demonstrate that the arborist has a valid certification for those services and is legally authorized and qualified to perform tree pruning/trimming.

TECHNICAL RATING DESCRIPTION

Acceptable Offer clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Offer does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

3) FACTOR III – PAST PERFORMANCE

(a) Contractors must provide a list of any recent and relevant contracts that should be considered for Past

Performance evaluation. To that end, recent shall be defined as any contract occurring within the last three (3) years, and relevant shall be defined as any contract similar to Grounds Maintenance Services

The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to assess the offeror’s ability to fulfill the solicitation requirements while meeting schedule, budget, and performance quality constraints. The offeror's past performance will be evaluated against these requirements to determine whether the proposal is acceptable or unacceptable in accordance with Past Performance Evaluation Ratings shown below:

PAST PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION RATING

Acceptable Based on the 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.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

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

(a)Past Performance will be evaluated in terms of current and past contract performance, to determine the degree to which an offeror satisfactorily performed services and satisfied customers. Vendor cage codes or DUNs will be used to query sources available to the Government (i.e. Contractor performance Assessment Reporting Systems
