The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers. All factors have the same value. Paragraph (a) is hereby completed as follows. Evaluation will be based on: Technical Approach and Capability. It is the contractor’s responsibility to provide, with the quote, all necessary documentation and/or information for the Government to make a determination that the contractor is technically capable and acceptable to complete the requirements of the Statement of Work. All Bidders are strongly encouraged to make a site visit to inspect all proposed work and to acquire all necessary site information to properly prepare their Quote. Failure of the Contractor to visit the site and acquire all necessary site information to properly prepare the quote shall not be acceptable cause to justify a later request for additional costs after Contract Award. Any questions that come up at the site visit must be provided to CONTRACT SPECIALIST via email at Marilyn.Herrera@noaa.gov no later than July 27, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. MDT/MST. No questions will be answered on site. Technical Approach and Capability. The offeror's approach to performing contract requirements and its capability to successfully perform the contract will be evaluated. A contractor that has performed a site visit will be regarded with higher technical capability unless the contractor can provide a detailed technical approach write-up with their quote for the Government to consider in place of a site visit. (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, cost management, communications between contracting parties, proactive management and customer satisfaction. Provide at least two references of similar projects as well as contact information to include contact name, emails, telephone number for those projects. (3) Price The Government intends to award a trade-off, best value, firm fixed price purchase order on an all or none basis with payment terms of Net 30. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
