The period for government acceptance of the quote is 30 days following the RFP due date. 1.2 These services are being procured as a competitive negotiated Request for Proposal (RFP), using source selection procedures, as authorized by parts 12, 13 and/or 15 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the General Service Administration Acquisition Manual (GSAM) located at: http://www.arnet.gov/far and http://www.arnet.gov/GSAM/gsam.html. This solicitation will result in a best value, fixed price task order. 1.3 The Government intends to award one to three Task Orders to the offeror(s) providing the best overall value for the various building groups in accordance with FAR 52.216.27. This request for proposal does not commit the Government to award a contract or to pay any costs incurred in proposal preparation. 1.4 GSA's objective is to select the proposal that offers the Best Value. "Best value" means the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government's estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement. It is advised that firms submit an offer that represents the firm's best terms from a price and technical standpoint since the Government intends to award this contract to the offeror possessing the overall "best value" to the government utilizing the lowest price technically acceptable source selection process (FAR 15.101). The evaluation factors are price, technical capability, and past performance (FAR 15.304). 1.5 The government will evaluate the quality and extent of the offeror's experience relevant to the requirements of this RFQ. The government reserves the right to consider other sources of information such as current and past procurements, other federal agency contracts, commercial sources, and the Contractor Performance System. The evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirements, when such information is relevant to the acquisition. 1.6 Technical proposals will be evaluated separately from the price proposals by a technical team and should be clearly labeled as the "Technical Proposal". Price shall not be discussed in the technical proposal. 1.7 Interested firms are cautioned to submit adequate and sufficient information to enable the Government to fully ascertain its capability to perform all of the requirements of this acquisition. The data submitted with each proposal should be complete and concise but not overly elaborate. 1.8 The Government may make a final determination as to whether the offeror's proposal is acceptable or unacceptable solely on the basis of the initial proposal as submitted. Accordingly, offerors are advised to submit initial proposals that are fully and clearly acceptable without additional information. Offers which do not present sufficient information to permit a complete technical evaluation by the Government may be determined to be technically unacceptable. 2.0 TECHNICAL PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Submit your Technical Proposal to Brian Davis, via email to brian.davis@gsa.gov, no later than August 24, 2012, 2:00 PM Pacific Time Zone. The offeror's name, address, phone number, fax number, email address, date of submission, and RFQ number shall appear on the cover letter to be evaluated. 2.2 The Offeror shall submit their written technical and price proposal with the following table of contents: - Cover Letter (one page) - SF Form 18, Request for Quotation - Schedule of Prices - Technical Capability (no more than three pages) - Similar Projects Information Sheet (two appraisal projects within last 3 years) - Verification of MAI designation of copy of certification or license for the state in which the building is located 2.3 Technical Capability: Technical Capability information must include information regarding the capability of the firm to perform the work described in the scope of work for this project. Suggested discussion points to demonstrate capability include descriptions of the firm, proposed key personnel, and qualifications of proposed key personnel who will be assigned to the project. The information reflected in the proposal is what will be evaluated. Interested firms are discouraged from the expense of submitting high gloss, color pictures, and/or professionally written marketing material. 2.6 Past Performance References: Each offeror shall provide a list of no more than two (2) but not less than two (2) similar projects completed within the last three (3) years. GSA defines similar projects as fair annual rent appraisals for federal facilities or general office buildings. For each project listed, the offeror shall provide, at a minimum, the information shown in Attachment 3 (not to exceed one page). GSA will contact the references provided for the projects submitted as similar past experience and will complete the past performance surveys. Your firm will be rated on the following five categories: quality of products or services, timeliness of performance, effectiveness of management and business relationships, overall rating, and customer satisfaction. 3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION CRITERIA 3.1 Technical proposals from offerors will be evaluated to determine if they meet the stated requirements. 3.2 Award will be made based on the result of the evaluation of past performance, technical capability, and price. All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are approximately equal to price. 4.0 PRICE EVALUATION CRITERIA 4.1 Offeror shall submit pricing on the attached SF Form 18 and schedule of pricing. The contents of the price proposal shall include a breakdown of lump sum prices which shows the total level of effort for the various building groups with all associated travel costs shown separately.
