(End of Provision) Quotation submission instructions and evaluation criteria Prospective contractors must submit a firm-fixed price quotation to perform this work. The selected contractor will be awarded a firm-fixed price purchase order. We will consider prospective contractors’ technical capability, past performance, and price.

To demonstrate technical capability, submit a work plan explaining how you plan to complete this project and outline your recent and relevant experience.

To demonstrate good past performance, submit references for similar recent projects. We also reserve the right to consider any other sources of past performance information.

We will conduct a comparative evaluation of prospective contractors relative to each other and select the one that appears to offer the best value, considering all the above factors, each of which is approximately equal in importance to all others.

In doing so, we will order quotations from lowest priced to highest priced. We will eliminate from consideration any quotations that are unrealistically low, potentially indicating a poor understanding of the requirement, unless that quotation has sufficient price or technical details to indicate otherwise. We will then proceed to consider quotations at progressively higher prices until we reach a point where there is no expected additional value to be realized by paying a higher price and eliminate from consideration all quotations priced higher than that. Remaining quotations will be compared to each other and award will be made to the one that offers the best value.
