Past Performance (a) The Government will evaluate the offerors past performance information for quality and confidence. The offeror shall identify at least two relevant (construction, overhaul, repair and alteration of ships) and current federal, state or local government or private contracts performed during the last three (3) years. If subcontracting arrangement is proposed, the above data must also be provided for each first tier subcontractor. If a joint effort or teaming arrangement is proposed, highlight previous experience with the proposed team or subcontractor. The past performance evaluation will take into account the guidelines outlined at FAR 15.305(a) (2). The quality of past performance and relevance of experience to the Coast Guard will be evaluated. The ability to manage and maintain a qualified workforce will be considered. Customer satisfaction will be an integral consideration. In evaluating past performance the Government will consider contracts performed during the last 3 years. Emphasis will be placed upon the contractor's administration of the contractual responsibilities. For example: (1) Adequacy of contract start up. (2) Performance in accordance with proposed method of performance. (3) Sufficiency of proposed personnel to perform contract. (4) Filling of key positions with qualified individuals. (5) Quality performance of work. (6) Response to emergency situations. (7) Schedule adherence (including administrative aspects of performance.) (8) Responsiveness to Government requirements.

(13) Timely and accurate invoice submittals (14) Quality of drawings. (15) Knowledge of Customer Requirements and Expectations. (16) Management and cost control of subcontracts Following the quality evaluation, the Government will assign an overall confidence rating to each past performance reference, considering both the relevance and quality of the provided reference. The Government will then assign a composite past performance confidence rating for the vendor's overall past performance, considering the confidence ratings assigned to each individual reference. The confidence evaluation will be in accordance with the following table Past Performance Quality Rating: Rating Definition Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government's benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being evaluated was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were highly effective. Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government's benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being evaluated was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective. Satisfactory Performance meets contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory. Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being evaluated reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented. Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains a serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective. Neutral The offeror has no past performance history OR the Contracting Officer has determined that the past performance information provided is not directly related or similar to the requirements in the RFP (b) The Government may review Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) ratings on relevant contracts and may also consider Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) ratings, regulatory agency databases, past performance questionnaires, information submitted by each Offeror with its quote, and other existing past performance information contained in either local or other supervisor files, or from other Government sources or non-Government sources. Offerors are advised that in evaluating an Offeror's past performance, the Government may, in its sole discretion, consider information from sources outside the Offeror's quote. For example, the Government may consider information based on its own experience with the Offeror and/or may contact the parties for whom the Offeror performed contracts and consider their response when evaluating the Offeror's quote. General trends in a contractor's performance will also be considered. In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available, they will not receive a favorable or unfavorable rating. The assessment of the Offeror's Past Performance is one of the factors used for evaluating the Offeror's ability to successfully perform the requirements of this solicitation as well as to determine the Offeror's performance risk for the subject solicitation. Such consideration is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer's responsibility determination under FAR 9. The Government reserves the right to contact references provided by the Offeror, and otherwise verify statements and representations made in the Offeror's quote, but reserves the right not to contact. 2. Price The total price of the offeror will be determined by totaling the proposed prices of all the Definite Items and the Composite Labor Hour extended total, plus lay days and foreseeable costs. Offeror's price shall represent the best price in response to the request for quotes. The price shall be evaluated to determine fairness and reasonableness. Price quote will be reviewed for completeness and reasonableness. Options. 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. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quote's specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
