A Quoter must also be found responsible by the Contracting Officer prior to the award of any resultant purchase order pursuant to FAR Subpart 9.1 – Responsible Prospective Contractors. The Government will make an award for this solicitation based on lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA). Technical tradeoffs will not be made, and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability. A technical evaluation (i.e. Factors 1 and 2) will be performed only on the lowest price quote (Factor 3). If the lowest price quote is determined technically acceptable, the evaluation will be complete, and award will be made to that Quoter. If the lowest price quote is determined technically unacceptable, the Government will perform a technical evaluation on the next lowest price quote and so on until a technically acceptable quote is established. Award will be made to the Quoter with the lowest evaluated price and evaluated as technically acceptable. The Government intends to evaluate and award a purchase order based on initial submissions without exchanges with Quoters but reserves the right to enter into exchanges. A submission in response to the solicitation must contain the Quoter’s best terms from a price standpoint. The Government reserves the right to award one or no purchase order at all. Quotes will be evaluated as follows: Factor 1 – Technical Approach Technical approach will be rated as either “Technically Acceptable” or “Technically Unacceptable” and will be evaluated as follows: To be determined technically acceptable, the Quoter shall confirm in RFQ Attachment 2 – Quote Submission Form the following technical statements: (1) All requirements of the Statement of Work (SOW) will be met. (2) I understand that the Statement of Work (SOW) requires a thirty (30) cubic yard dumpster (no larger nor smaller) and will comply with this requirement. (3) I understand that the Statement of Work (SOW) requires a trash removal and disposal twice per month at the TSA Logistics Center in Springfield, VA and will comply with this requirement. (4) I understand that the Statement of Work (SOW) requires a one-time trash removal and disposal at the Transportation Security Integration Facility (TSIF) at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and will comply with this requirement. (5) I understand that the Statement of Work (SOW) requires the ability to accommodate over tonnage situations and will comply with this requirement. (6) I agree to comply with the prevailing Department of Labor Wage Determination (See RFQ Attachment 1 Wage Determination 2015-4281 Rev. 34). (7) I agree to comply with FAR 52.222-62 “Paid Sick Leave Under Executive Order 13706”. To be eligible for award the technical quotation must be evaluated as “Technically Acceptable”. Factor 2 - Price The quoted prices will be evaluated on the basis of the Total Evaluated Price of the quote, calculated by adding together the quoted prices for each Line Item (to include option periods) identified in Attachment 2 – Quote Submission Form. The Government intends to evaluate that the total price is fair and reasonable based on competition, but reserves the right to use other price analysis techniques prescribed by the FAR. The Total Evaluated Price for each Quote will be compared to all other Quotes to determine the apparent lowest-priced quotation and will not receive an adjectival rating. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise those options. To account for the option periods possible under FAR 52.217-8 (maximum of six months), the Government will evaluate the option to extend services by adding six months of the Quoter’s final option period price to the Quoter’s total price. This amount will be the total evaluated price. The Government may choose to exercise the Option to Extend Services at the end of any performance period (base or option periods). Prices for the base and option periods, including the 6-month option available under FAR 52.217-8, will be evaluated to ensure that they are fair and reasonable for performance of the requirements established in the solicitation and as proposed in the technical submission. The price for the effort associated with FAR 52.217-8 will not be included in the total awarded value at purchase order award. If, at the end of the period of performance (the end of the base period or any option period) and within the time period established in the clause, the Government chooses to exercise this option, the pricing will be pursuant to the rates specified in the contract for the preceding performance period. Quoters shall not provide pricing for labor under FAR 52.217-8 “Option to Extend Services” in their proposals.
