Carpet Purchasing, Installation, and Painting

Due to a system issue, the solicitation is being extended until 28 May at 1 PM MDT.

IMPORTANT: During the site visit, painting of the Leaf PC was discussed.  Painting the walls of the Leaf PC is NOT within the scope of this requirement and is reflected in the SOW.

Evaluation factors will be the following in accordance with FAR 12.203:

52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services.

As prescribed in 12.205(a)(2), insert a provision substantially as follows:

(a) Evaluation factors. 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. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

a. At minimum, address capabilities to provide services as described in the SOW and provide U.S. citizens to perform the work. Provide a generalized list of what services are provided to meet the standards of the SOW and if any materials and equipment is with the sole position of your company and indicate if the company already owns the required equipment or will it be rented/leased/etc.

b. Answer the following questions: Based on the information contained in the SOW, what length of time is needed to complete the work, how many personnel are expected to perform the work, and can work be accomplished with the current company staffing.

(b) Options (if applicable). The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

Price - will be evaluated for pricing on an individual line price and total price

Past Performance - offerors will be reviewed for negative past performance indicators--no information is required as part of their quote

Technical Approach - timeline, quality of materials/carpet/paint quoted, completeness of quotation (period of performance is to be included as part of quote)

Following review of evaluation factors, quotes will be used for comparative analysis to all quotes received, with the quote providing the best value to the government being selected for award.

As noted in the attached Statement of Work, the contractor shall furnish all materials, labor, coordination and supervision necessary to accomplish the work in the AFOTEC Building 20130, Kirtland AFB, NM.  Work shall be performed in a neat, substantial and in a workmanlike manner.
