Basis for Award: 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. In evaluating proposals, Technical Approach (Technical Proposal and Past Performance combined) shall be weighted at 49% and the Price Proposal at 51%.

The following items should specifically be addressed: Technical Proposal portrays a clear understanding of the desired end-result. Technical Proposal portrays a clear understanding of level of effort required to remove/excess old office furniture, and office relocation services. Past Performance: When evaluating Past Performance, the Government shall consider how well the proposal addresses the following: Previous experience performing contracts of similar complexity. Previous experience of like services in the previous 3 years. References of previous experience providing similar services. Ratings. Technical Approach will be rated as follows: Fully Confident Technical Approach addresses all the Government s needs. Partially Confident Technical Approach addresses all the Government s needs. Not Confident Technical Approach addresses all the Government s needs. Price Proposal (51%). Offers the lowest reasonable and balanced price. The Government will evaluate each offeror's proposed prices submitted in completed RFQ for reasonableness and balance as discussed in the following paragraphs 2.1.1 and 2.1.2. Offerors are advised to review all data items and ensure that they are proposing to the specific data requirements and level of effort involved. Reasonableness: The existence of adequate price competition is expected to support a determination of reasonableness. Price analysis techniques may be used to validate price reasonableness. If adequate price competition is not obtained and/or if price reasonableness cannot be determined using price analysis of Government obtained information, additional information may be required to support the proposed price. Balance: Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of proposal analysis techniques. The Government will analyze the proposed prices to determine whether there are unbalanced separately priced line items. Prices submitted will be compared and evaluated to assure that a logical progression exists as related to price and quantity changes within each offeror s response to the pricing structure in the Schedule. Offerors are cautioned against submitting an offer that contains unbalanced pricing; offers that are determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.
