Offeror shall also provide at least three past performance references (including phone numbers) for projects completed in the past three (3) years that were similar to this requirement. The provision at 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. The evaluation criteria, listed under paragraph (a) of this provision, are as follows: 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 shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical Capability and Approach Past Performance Safety Technical Capability and Approach: This factor evaluates the offeror's technical capability offered and the technical approach proposed to accomplish the work. The Government will consider the offeror's technical capability as well as experience of the entity, experience of key personnel/subcontractors and their performance on similar projects (as demonstrated through resumes, experience, education, certifications and narratives of similar scope projects). In evaluating the technical approach, the Government will consider the offeror's proposed project strategy and equipment identified for use and dedication to this project in order to determine the likeliness of success in performing the required effort. As part of the offeror's proposed strategy, the Government will consider strategies for work accomplishment, how the contractor plans to ensure that unanticipated delays, problems and changes are dealt with efficiently and effectively with minimum schedule disruption. The Government will review the contractor's proposed list of subcontractors, reviewing the work they will be performing and assessing their experience, education, certifications and narratives of similar scope projects. Past Performance: There are two aspects to the Government's evaluation of past performance. The first is to evaluate the offeror's past performance to determine how relevant and recent of previous projects accomplished by the offeror is to the effort to be acquired through this procurement. The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the offeror has performed on the contracts by reviewing the past performance narrative and by gathering information from current and previous customers of the offeror (as demonstrated through at least three past references for relevant projects). Government evaluators may avail themselves of various federal, state, and local past performance databases. The Government may research offeror performance on any federal, state, local, and commercial contract performance of the offeror that is known to the Government, but not included in the provided narrative or references. Additionally, personal experience and evaluator knowledge of the offeror's performance may be utilized. The Government will consider the relevance of past performance information obtained in relation to the scope of this procurement with respect to both a similar effort, and the length and scope, number, and complexity. Past performance, either positive or negative, which is considered by the Government to be more closely related to the scope of this effort, will be given additional weight in the evaluation process. NOTE: In accordance with FAR 15.305, in the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably in this area, but instead will receive a neutral rating in the area of past performance. Offerors that have relevant past performance and plan to supply references, please provide the following: Contractor's name, phone number and relevant work required in this solicitation. Safety: This factor considers the offeror's safety record, including reportable incidents/injuries; their safety plan with annotations of project specific modifications/revisions (for the past three years); to determine the likelihood of the offeror performing the required effort without any accidents or safety incidents. Technical, past performance and safety, when combined are approximately equal when compared to price The provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition.
