SA56 EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD - SERVICES The Government will make award to the contractor offering the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer. The Government will make award to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation terms and conditions. The Government reserves the right to award on initial offers without discussions or to conduct one-on-one discussions with one or more offerors to clarify issues relating to scope, pricing, and responsibility. Proposals shall be evaluated as either 'acceptable' or unacceptable’ on the basis of the following criteria: A. Past Experience Provide a list of at least three (3) successful contracts that provided grounds maintenance services within the past five (5) years. Specifically identify projects of similar scope and complexity as described in the Scope of Work in this solicitation. Be specific and provide details. For each project address the following points: a) Project Title, description and contract number b) Client names, phone numbers, and contact person c) Dollar Value d) Scope of Work in detail e) Percentages of work subcontracted and nature of that work f) Award and Completion dates g) Any contractual issues or technical matters disputed, and resolution thereof h) Any claims and resolution thereof (i.e., nature, number dollar value) i) Any relevant information that would reflect on the offeror’s ability to meet schedule constraints Standard for Review: An acceptable proposal must demonstrate at least three (3) successful relevant projects in the past five (5) years similar to the current requirement. The FAA reserves the right to contact the customers listed as references, and to apply that information in its final determination. If the Contractor does not have an applicable performance history, then within the cover letter the Contractor must indicate the reason for such absence of past performance history and provide a proposed project management plan to ensure the quality of the services to be performed. B. Past Performance An Offeror is required to have at least three (3) CSS from third party references completed and submitted directly to Jennifer J Davis at jennifer.j.davis@faa.gov. The CSS is attached to the solicitation announcement as Attachment J-6. Standard for Review: At least three (3) CSS must be received from third party references before the solicitation deadline with an average rating of Good or higher. The FAA reserves the right to contact customers listed as references and conduct a CSS by telephone in the event there is insufficient competition due to the lack of surveys received. Keep in mind that the FAA may use information other than that provided by the Contractor in connection with this solicitation. Any negative customer review that is verified by the CO may deem the proposal unacceptable and will be rejected from further consideration. (End of Provision) SA61 CONSIDERATION OF PRICE - LOWEST PRICED TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE (LPTA) SOURCE SELECTION The offeror must submit pricing information as prescribed in PART I - SECTION B of the Request for Offers. The Government will make award based on successful negotiation of price and conformance with solicitation terms and conditions to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer. Each offeror is required to provide a price for each contract line item (CLIN). Failure to comply may result in the rejection of the subject offer. A single award will be made. There shall be no split award. In the event that the CLIN price for any line item is materially unbalanced, the entire offer may be rejected without discussion with the offeror. In the event of any disparity between the CLIN price and the total offered price, the CLIN price shall be deemed correct, and the total offered amount shall be revised accordingly, unless available information indicates otherwise. (End of Provision) Contractors must be registered with the System for Award Management, www.sam.gov on the date established for receipt of offers (July 18, 2022).
