The degree to which the quotation demonstrates an understanding of the requirements will be evaluated, as well as the offeror's planned management of consultants and subcontractors, if applicable. Factor 2--PAST PERFORMANCE. The offeror's past performance on related contracts will be evaluated to determine, as appropriate, successful performance of contract requirements, quality and timeliness of delivery of goods and services, effective management of subcontractors, cost management, level of communication between the contracting parties, proactive management and customer satisfaction. Offeror shall provide at least one (1) past performance reference. Provide name, address, phone number, and name of the project. If a quoter has no relevant past performance, the quoter must affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant past performance history.
