Failure to correct these issues can result in difficulties in acceptance of deliverables and processing payments. Therefore, the Offeror is invited to propose alternative line items for which bids, proposals, or quotes are requested in this solicitation to ensure that the resulting contract is economically and administratively advantageous to the Government and the Offeror. (b) The Offeror may submit one or more additional proposals with alternative line items, provided that alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. However, acceptance of an alternative proposal is a unilateral decision made solely at the discretion of the Government. Offers that do not comply with the line items specified in this solicitation may be determined to be nonresponsive or unacceptable. (End of provision) 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) (a) 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 following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: The award will be made to the contractor whose price is the lowest of all offers determined to be technically qualified of performing the required service in accordance with FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items. Technically qualified is defined as meeting the minimum requirements in Technical, Past Performance and Price as listed below. No trade-offs are made. To receive consideration for an award, the Contractor must NOT receive an "unacceptable" rating for the non-price factors. The Government may make an award based on initial quotes received without discussions with Contractors. Accordingly, each offer should be submitted in a completed form, without exception to any requirements. Failure to submit mandatory information for a factor, indicated by the word SHALL, will result in a rating of "unacceptable" for that factor, and the quote will be ineligible for award. It is incumbent upon the Contractor to submit sufficient information for the Government to determine technical acceptability, successful and satisfactory past performance and price. Failure to submit sufficient information for the government to determine technical acceptability, past performance or price may be cause for rejection of your quote. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Contractor whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. PRICE: a. Contractors SHALL complete and submit the price schedule with their quote and include a price for each line item. Failure to do so will result in the offer being rejected without further consideration. b. The Contracting Officer will evaluate each quote in accordance with FAR 15.404-1 to determine price reasonableness. In this context, reasonableness will be determined by comparing quotes to one another, to the Government estimate and to pricing for previous work of a similar nature. 2. TECHNICAL CAPABILITY: a. The Contractor SHALL submit evidence of the capability to meet the minimum requirements as specified in this solicitation and the attached Statement of Work. Quote shall demonstrate that the Contractor can provide the skills, equipment, and personnel required to perform the specified type of services are available, or can become available if the contract is awarded. b. The Technical Capability factor SHALL receive an adjectival rating based on the assessed strengths and inadequacies of each quote as they relate to the Technical Capability. Technical rating with details descriptions are show in the table below: TECHNICAL RATING ACCEPTABLE quote clearly meets the minimum technical capability of the performance work statement UNACCEPTABLE quote does not clearly meet the minimum technical capability of the performance work statement 3. PAST PERFORMANCE: To demonstrate satisfactory past performance the contractor SHALL provide documentation of satisfactory performance on two (2) past or current contracts of a similar type, size, scope and complexity, performed within the last three (3) years including references, with names and contact information of the references who can verify such past performance. Past performance information of key personnel may be provided if the company has limited or no past performance. In the case of an contractor with only one or without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the quote will be evaluated as "Acceptable" on Past Performance, providing the Contractor supplies a certified statement with their quote that no past performance information is available. The preferred method of evaluating Past Performance is the attached USACE Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attached). The Government's approach will be to check the references provided by the contractor to verify satisfactory past performance. In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources, as well as data obtained from other sources available, i.e. government database, past contract files, etc. The offeror is cautioned that while the Government will consider data from other sources, the burden of demonstrating acceptable past performance rests with the offeror. PAST PERFORMANCE RATING ACCEPTABLE Based on the contractor's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Contractor will successfully perform the required effort, or the contractor's performance record is unknown UNACCEPTABLE Based on the Contractor's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the contractor will be able to successfully perform the required effort. (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.
