While price will be a significant factor in the evaluation of offers, the final contract award will be based on a combination of factors - a combination of price, responsibility, and a technically acceptable quote.

The final contract will be awarded to the quoter deemed responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104 whose quote is technically acceptable and in full compliance to all other requirements set forth in the solicitation. Before award the contracting officer will review the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS), System for Award Management (SAM) Exclusions and the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) when making a responsibility determination IAW FAR 9.104-6.

The Quoter’s technical acceptability will be evaluated against the requirements in the SOW. By providing a quote, Quoter acknowledges they take no exceptions to the SOW, solicitation, or any instructions contained therein.

Technical Acceptability will be rated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis using the ratings in the table below.

Rating

Description

Acceptable

Quote clearly meets the minimum technical requirements of the solicitation

Unacceptable

Quote does not clearly meet the minimum technical requirements of the solicitation

Quoters shall submit a price quote for base and all option periods in accordance with Attachment 3 - Price Schedule.  Prices shall include all incidental services; which include delivery of LPG and maintenance of Contractor owned tanks.

Quotes must provide firm fixed pricing per gallon of LPG and monthly tank rental by capacity.  The price of the LPG shall remain fixed for the duration of each option year. This quoted price will be used as a basis for applying the economic price adjustment (EPA) for the option years 

FOR TANK RENTAL QUOTES:  Base and Option year tank rental quotes shall be submitted for only LPG Contractor owned tanks (See Attachment 2).  The rentals are listed per location.  Rental quotes shall be similar based on tank capacity.  (Note that tanks at 3 locations are coupled together for one FFP quote)

OPTION YEAR EPA APPLICATION: 

OPTION YEARS: Should the Government exercise the option to extend the term of the contract under FAR 52.217-9 – Option to Extend the Term of the Contract, the LPG option year pricing shall be subject to FAR Clause 52.216-2 – Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) for LPG.

The following EPA instructions shall be incorporated into the solicitation and resulting contract:

Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) – Liquid Propane Gas (LPG)

Pursuant to FAR 52.216-2, Economic Price Adjustment—Standard Supplies, the Government shall permit an EPA subject to the following:

(a) Designated Market Indicator

For the purpose of calculating price adjustments, the "established market price" is designated as the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Mont Belvieu, TX Propane Spot Price FOB, as published by the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Energy Information Administration at https://www.eia.gov/petroleum/.

(b) Frequency and Timing of Adjustments

The Contractor may submit a request for an economic price adjustment in writing to the Contracting Officer no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the current contract period. If approved, the adjusted price shall become effective on the first day of the newly exercised option period. No more than one price adjustment may be requested or executed per option period.

(c) Calculation Methodology

The Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) for the upcoming option period shall be calculated using the following three-step formula:

1. Step 1 (Determine Index Price): Calculate the "Current Index Average," which is the mathematical average of the published EIA Mont Belvieu Monthly Index values for the latest twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the date of the EPA request.

1. Step 2 (Add Contractor Markup): Add the Contractor’s established "Firm-Fixed Mark-up Price" for the applicable option period (as awarded in the Contractor's original proposal schedule).

1. Step 3 (Establish New FFP): The sum of Step 1 and Step 2 equals the new Firm-Fixed-Price per gallon for the upcoming 12-month option period. (Formula: Current Index Average + Firm-Fixed Mark-up Price = New 12-Month FFP).

(d) Limitation on Adjustments
In accordance with FAR 52.216-2(c)(1), the aggregate of the increases made under this clause for any single option period shall not exceed 10 percent of the current contract unit price. There is no downward limit on price decreases resulting from a downward shift in the index.
