INCORPORATION OF QUOTATION: Portions of the Offeror's Section I Technical Quotation, as negotiated and accepted by the Government, may be incorporated by reference into the resultant contract. Some or all of the information furnished by the Contractor may be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). For this reason the Contractor shall identify information contained in the proposal which the Contractor believes is proprietary. Notwithstanding any rights the Government will receive under the contract to the data being protected under the solicitation, any request for information received under the FOIA (5 U.S.C 552) for the resulting contract, including any portion of the proposal that was incorporated into the contract, will be reviewed in accordance with the FOIA statute. The Government will contact the Contractor to identify what information, if any, contained in the contract they believe should be withheld from release to the public. The Contractor will then have to demonstrate that the information is a (1) a trade secret or (2) confidential, commercial information. In case of the latter, the Contractor would have to demonstrate, in detail, that disclosure would (1) impair the Government's ability to obtain necessary information in the future or (2) cause substantial harm to the Contractor. Any changes in these arrangements are to be submitted to the Contracting Officer in advance for approval. In the event of any conflict or ambiguity between the Contractor's Technical Quotation and the Government's Requirements Document, the requirements document takes precedence. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of the Quote, offerors shall follow the instructions contained herein. Offers shall be submitted as a single electronic package to the Primary Point of Contract (POC) email address no later than the date and time identified within this notice. The offer must be complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of this solicitation. 2. The provision at 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014), applies to this acquisition. (a) This acquisition will utilize the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedure using Technical, Past Performance and Price to make an award decision. (b) The Government anticipates awarding one contract as a result of this Request for Quotation (RFQ), based upon the results of a complete and thorough Government evaluation of proposals in accordance with this section. The Government, however, reserves the right to not award any contracts in the event that no proposals are considered to be in the best interest of the Government. Contract award will be made to the "responsible" Offeror whose proposal represents the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable proposal to the Government based on the Volumes/Factors and Subfactors set forth herein. (See FAR Subpart 9.104, which describes the standards prospective contractors, must meet to be determined "responsible".) To receive consideration for award, overall evaluations of not less than "Acceptable" must be achieved for Volume I and Volume III. An evaluation rating of "Unacceptable" at the Subfactor level will cause the entire Proposal Volume/Factor and the entire Proposal to be evaluated as "Unacceptable. To meet this requirement, the Offeror (Prime Contractor) will be considered as the "Concern". NOTE: THE GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AWARD A CONTRACT BASED UPON INITIAL SUBMISSIONS, WITHOUT EXCHANGES AND/OR DISCUSSIONS. ALSO NOTE THAT FAILURE TO SUBMIT A TIMELY PROPOSAL IN EXACTLY THE MANNER REQUIRED BY THE SOLICITATION MAY RESULT IN THE GOVERNMENT REJECTING THE PROPOSAL AS NON-COMPLIANT/UNACCEPTABLE, AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER. (c) The following Volumes/Factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (1) Volume I - Technical Capability (Factor 1) Subfactor 1: The Offeror's experience in preforming services for Heating and cooling systems; Plumbing; Electrical; Lawn mowing, removal of fallen trees or branches, moving supplies and equipment will be evaluated. Subfactor 2: The Offeror's experience with inspection and repairs of septic systems, to include replacement of sewer injection pumps will be evaluated. Subfactor 3: The Offeror's proposal will be evaluated to ensure that all Federal and State Copies of appropriate licenses as it relates to Heating Ventilation and Cooling (HVAC), Plumbing, and Electrical. Subfactor 1, Subfactor 2, and Subfactor 3 are of equal importance. (2) Volume II - Price (Factor 2) The Government will evaluate total price (including options) in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.305(a)(1) to ensure that prices are fair and reasonable. Pricing will be evaluated on a comparison of proposed prices from all Offerors received in response to the solicitation. The total evaluated price will be calculated using the following method for Base and the Option Year pricing: (a) Bi-weekly Inspection The price per Bi-weekly Inspection for Hudson Housing Area will be multiplied by 26. The price per Bi-weekly Inspection for Needham Housing Area will be multiplied by 26. The price per Bi-weekly Inspection for Wayland Housing Area will be multiplied by 26. Then these amounts will be added together for a total amount. (b) Monthly Mowing The price per mowing for Hudson Housing Area will be multiplied by 6. The price per mowing for Needham Housing Area will be multiplied by 6. The price per mowing for Wayland Housing Area will be multiplied by 6. Then these amounts will be added together for a total amount. (c) Unscheduled Task The price per hour for HVAC labor (1 Person) multiplied by 25 hours. The price per hour for Plumbing labor (1 Person) multiplied by 25 hours. The price per hour for Electrical labor (1 Person) multiplied by 20 hours. The price per hour 1 Person Crew multiplied by 50 hours. The price per hour 2 Person Crew multiplied by 50 hours. The price per hour 3 Person Crew multiplied by 25 hours. The price per hour 4 Person Crew multiplied by 25 hours. Then these amounts will be added together for a total amount. The total dollar amounts of the above will be added together for an estimated total price for each year (Base and the One (1) Option Year). The estimated total price for all two (2) years will be added together for a total evaluated price. This total will only be utilized in the total evaluated price calculation. If it is concluded that additional information is necessary to determine the reasonableness of the proposed price, the Contracting Officer may request information. This additional information may include, but is not limited to, indirect rates, material, labor and any other information that can substantiate the reasonableness of a proposed price. If applicable a Certificate of Current Cost and Price will be requested at time of award. (3) Volume III - Past Performance (Factor 3) The Offeror and its major subcontractor's past performance with Government and industry will be evaluated. The Government will evaluate customer satisfaction, responsiveness to customer needs, and past demonstration of providing quality and timely services. Emphasis will be on recent, relevant experience in the past five (5) years. The past performance factor considers each Offeror's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in services that meet the contract requirements. One rating is assigned for each Offeror based on relevancy and confidence assessment. Offerors with no relevant performance history will be given a rating of Acceptable. The Government will focus its inquiries on the Offeror's (and major subcontractors') record of performance as it relates to all solicitation requirements, including cost, schedule, performance and management of subcontractors. A significant achievement, problem, or lack of relevant data in any element of the work can become an important consideration in the evaluation process. Therefore, Offerors will be reminded to include the most recent and relevant efforts (within the past five years) in their proposal. Absent any recent and relevant past performance history or when the performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror will be assigned an "unknown confidence (Neutral) rating" and its proposal will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance. The Government may use data provided by the Offeror in its proposal and data obtained from other sources, including data in Government files or data obtained through interviews with personnel familiar with the contractor and their current and past performance under Federal, State or Local government or commercial contracts for same or similar services as compared to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Data used in conducting performance risk assessments shall not extend past five (5) years prior to the issue date of the RFP, but may include performance data generated beyond the past five (5) years without regard to the contract award date. Offerors shall submit all Government and/or commercial contracts for the prime Offeror and each major subcontractor in performance or awarded during the past five years, from the issue date of this RFP, which are relevant to the efforts required by this RFP. The Government may consider a wide array of information from a variety of sources, but is not compelled to rely on all of the information available. The Government will also use the Performance Risk Assessment Questionnaire's to evaluate the Offeror's Past Performance. The past performance factor considers each Offeror's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the contract requirements. There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation: relevancy and performance confidence assessment. (4) EVALUATION PROCESS. The technical panel will provide a detailed evaluation and assign a combined technical/risk rating for the Technical Volume. The Past Performance Volume will receive only a performance evaluation rating. The Price Proposal Volume will be evaluated by the Contracting Officer in accordance with the evaluation criteria established in Volume III. The technical panel will rate each Volume (Factor) and Subfactor by consensus for each proposal submitted and will prepare initial and final reports. If consensus is not obtainable, a minority report prepared and signed by the dissenting evaluators shall be presented to the Contracting Officer for consideration. Offerors are advised that the Government intends to award without discussions but reserves the right to conduct discussions to the extent deemed necessary at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer, to further investigate any weaknesses, deficiencies, or other subjects identified by the technical panel as germane to the evaluation process. The Government technical evaluation panel will evaluate proposals in accordance with the process and evaluation criteria stated herein, and will document the evaluation by providing a narrative discussion of the evaluation of each proposal in terms of the evaluation criteria and proposed strong points (strengths), weak points (weaknesses), and deficiencies. This narrative discussion shall be incorporated into a report, which will be presented to the Contracting Officer to assist in the competitive range determination, if needed. Upon establishment of the competitive range, and to the extent deemed necessary at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer, written discussion items (DI) will be issued to remaining Offerors, using control numbers, to further investigate any weaknesses, deficiencies, or other subjects identified by the technical panel as germane to the evaluation process. These DIs are considered exchanges/discussions in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.306(d). The Contracting Officer may also issue DIs relating to any matter that requires written revisions to a proposal for which a binding agreement is required/desired. The technical panel will be responsible for briefing the Contracting Officer at all steps of the evaluation process. The technical panel shall provide its report to the Contracting Officer for a final briefing, if necessary. Factor 1 (Technical), is more important than Factor 2 (Past Performance). Factor 1(Technical) and Factor 2 (Past Performance), when combined, are significantly more important than Factor 3 (Price). (5) RATING METHODS/DEFINITIONS (a) TECHNICAL FACTOR: One of the following ratings will be assigned: TECHNICAL RATINGS Rating Definition Acceptable - Proposal meets requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable - Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation. (b) QUALITY/PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT: Assess the quality of the Offeror's past performance on those recent efforts that were determined relevant by determining how well the contractor performed on the contracts. Documented results from Performance Risk Assessment Questionnaires, interviews, CPARS, and other sources form the support and basis for this assessment. Once the Relevancy and Contract Performance of the past performance contracts has been established, the Offeror will be assigned one Performance Confidence Assessment for the Past Performance Volume as described by the table below: PAST PERFORMANCE RELEVANCY RATINGS Rating Definition Very Relevant - Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Relevant - Present/past performance effort involved much of the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Somewhat Relevant - Present/past performance effort involved some of the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Not Relevant - Present/past performance effort did not involve any of the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. PAST PERFORMANCE RATINGS Rating Description Acceptable - Based on the Offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror's performance record is unknown. (See note below.) Unacceptable - Based on the Offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. Note: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a) (2) (iv)). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or "neutral") past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered "acceptable". (c) PRICE FACTOR: Price proposals will not be given an adjectival rating, but will be evaluated to determine reasonableness. (d) Options. The Government will evaluate Price for award purposes in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.404-1 by adding the total price for the base period plus all option periods. The Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (e) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise 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.
