This is a firm fixed-price contract with payment based upon completion and acceptance of negotiated project milestones. The anticipated contract term is approximately 18 months from award through project completion, with potential for month-to-month extensions. Evaluation allocates 50 percent of points to cost, with the remaining 50 percent distributed among experience and qualifications (10 percent), understanding of the project (10 percent), methodology (10 percent), and management plan (10 percent).
