Added: Nov 25, 2015 3:57 pm SUBMISSION OF QUOTES:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Baltimore District has a requirement for Dredge Cable Maintenance/Repairs.

The Government is using FAR Subparts 12 and 13 and will award a firm-fixed-priced contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible contractor whose quote conforms to the solicitation.

The Government anticipates award of a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Lowest Price (Cost) Technically Acceptable contractor, i.e. to the contractor with the lowest evaluated realistic price of quotes meeting the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than "Acceptable" must be achieved for the Technical factor. Award will be made with appropriate consideration given to the three evaluation factors: Factor 1-Technical, Factor 2 - Past Performance, and Factor 3-Cost/Price.

The Government intends to evaluate quotes and make award without questions to contractors. Therefore, the initial quote should contain the contractor's best terms from a Technical and Cost standpoint. Unclear quotes may not result in questions for clarifications. Offers with an omission or unclear quote may be judged to mean the contractor does not fully understand the requirements or understand what it takes to meet the requirements, regardless of the proposed cost/price and will be rated unacceptable. In that case, the contractor may be found unacceptable,
and ineligible for award. The Government reserves the right to ask questions of contractors if the Contracting Officer determines them to be necessary.
