The Government will select the quote that represents the best benefit to the Government at a price that can be determined reasonable. The Government will evaluate technical capabilities, past performance, and price. Following receipt of quotes, the Government will perform an evaluation using a comparative analysis of the services quoted in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3). The Government will compare quotes to one another to select the service that best benefits the Government by fulfilling the requirement. The evaluation of Government requirements outlined in this request for quote will determine suitability. Contractors may submit more than one quote; however, contractors are strongly encouraged to submit their best technical solutions and prices in response to this request for quote. Once the Government determines there is/are a contractor(s) that can provide a service that meet(s) the requirements of this request for quote, the Government reserves the right to communicate with only those contractors quoting the best-suited service to address any remaining issues. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. 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 the option(s). Factor 1: Technical/Management Approach The evaluation process will consider whether the quote demonstrates a clear understanding of the technical features involved in meeting the requirements of the solicitation. The Contractor shall: Engages and had engaged on a regular and full time basis in the testing, design and installation of electrical emergency generator systems for a period exceeding five years. Can provide temporary backup on-site emergency generator connections and their corresponding fuel supplies and automatic engagement methods. NFPA Certification Factor 2: Past Performance Past performance information will be utilized to determine the quality of the contractor s past performance as it relates to the probability of success of the required effort. The Government will evaluate customer satisfaction, responsiveness to customer needs, and past demonstration of meeting delivery schedules and the delivery of quality services. Emphasis will be on recent, relevant past performance in the previous three (3) years. Recent is defined as work performed within the last three (3) years. Relevant is defined as work similar in size and scope of the work described in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Past performance information is one indicator of a quoter s ability to perform the contract successfully. Current and relevant information, source of information, context of data, and general trends in Contractor s performance shall be considered as it pertains to the performance of work described in this solicitation. Quoters may provide information on problems encountered on identified contracts and the quoter s corrective action. The Government shall consider this information as well as information obtained from any other sources when evaluating the quoter s past performance. Since the Government may not necessarily interview all of the sources provided by the quoters, it is incumbent upon the quoter to explain the relevance of the data provided. Quoters are reminded that the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources. Quoters with no relevant past performance or whom information is not available, shall not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance, but may be considered less favorably than a quoter with favorable performance history. Factor 3: Price Prices shall be submitted in accordance with the Price Schedule contained in the Solicitation. Total price will be evaluated by the Government. In evaluating the quoter s proposed price for this project, the Government concern includes determining price reasonableness. Reasonableness determinations will be made by determining if competition exists, by comparing proposed cost/price with established commercial prices, other contract vehicles, and/or by comparing proposed cost/price with the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE). The IGCE is not releasable to the public. 3.0 TECHNICAL QUESTIONS Quoters should submit all technical questions regarding this solicitation to the Contract Specialist in writing, via email, to Name at Keicha.Passley@va.gov on or before 10:00 AM EST, June 17, 2022.
