A9: Cleaning and inspection is expected for 2.0.3.

Q10: In Statement of Work 2.0.7 - Low Voltage Circuit Breakers; it is unclear what type of test is required for the circuit breakers (primary or secondary injection). The section requests in the first topic "verify trip settings by secondary injection," and in the third to last topic it states that "The circuit breakers equipped with series or solid-state overcurrent trip devices shall be high current tested." Please clarify.

A10: Primary current injection testing is required.

Q11: Can all circuit breakers be tested by secondary injection?

A11: No, all 480v breaker tested by primary injection.

52.212-2, Evaluation--Commercial Items applies to this acquisition.

ADDENDUM to RFO 52.212-2 EVALUATION COMMERCIAL ITEMS:

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the offeror responsible whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government considering price and other factors.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:

Factor I. Technical capability or quality offered to meet the Government requirement

Factor II. Price

Factor III. Past Performance

Evaluation Approach. 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 Government will use comparative analysis. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

Factor I. Technical capability or quality offered to meet the Government requirement: The quotation will be evaluated to the extent to which it can meet and/or exceed the Government s requirements as outlined in the solicitation and based on the information requested in the instructions to quoters section of the solicitation. Technical capability factor is more important than the Price factor.

Factor II. Price: The Government will evaluate the price by adding the total of all line-item prices, including all options. The Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to make a price reasonableness determination. Offers that do not meet or exceed the technical capability or quality of the service offered to the Government requirement, as stated in Factor 1, shall not be selected regardless of price.

Factor III. Past Performance: The Government will evaluate on how well the offeror identified performance relates to the requirement procured under the SOW for this procurement to determine relevancy. How well the offeror performed on identified contracts shall be used to assess performance confidence. The Past Performance factor is less important than the Price factor.

The Government may use other methods to evaluate past performance, including but not limited to review of

Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and

Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other

databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and as

appropriate, the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Acquisition Information Repository,

accessible through the Defense Technical Information Center website.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past

performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past

performance.

If offeror does not provide all volumes as outlined in RFO 52.212-1 Instructions, the offer may be considered nonresponsive.

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by evaluating the offerors submissions volumes; Volume I - Technical Capability, Volume II - Price and Volume III - Past Performance. The Government will view the Technical Capability factor as more important than the Price factor. The Past Performance factor will be viewed as significantly less important than the Price factor.

(End of Addendum to 52.212-2)

52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions--Commercial Items applies to this acquisition Any inconsistencies in this solicitation or contract shall be resolved by giving precedence IAW 52.212-4(r).
