THEREFORE, THE OFFERORS INITIAL OFFER SHOULD CONTAIN THE OFFERORS BEST TERMS FROM A PRICE AND TECHNICAL STANDPOINT. THE GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT DISCUSSIONS IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER LATER DETERMINES THEM TO BE NECESSARY. IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT THE NUMBER OF PROPOSALS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE IN THE COMPETITIVE RANGE EXCEEDS THE NUMBER AT WHICH AN EFFICIENT COMPETITION CAN BE CONDUCTED, THE CONTRACTING OFFICER MAY LIMIT THE NUMBER OF PROPOSALS IN THE COMPETITIVE RANGE TO THE GREATEST NUMBER THAT WILL PERMIT AN EFFICIENT COMPETITION AMONG THE MOST HIGHLY RATED PROPOSALS. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Relative Importance of Evaluation Factors: The evaluation factors are divided into two categories; non-price evaluation factors (Factors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) and price (Factor 7). Factors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are of equal importance. When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the non-priced Factors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are approximately equal to price, Factor 7. The importance of price will increase if offerors non-price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of technical quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a proposal?s technical superiority to the Government. Award will be made to the offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered. The evaluation factors are set forth below:Factor 1: Experience Factor 2: Past Performance Factor 3: Key Personnel Factor 4: Equipment & Inventory Factor 5: Safety Factor 6: Commitment to Socio-Economic Programs Factor 7: Price Offeror shall submit its proposal in two (2) separate parts as follows: 1) Technical Proposal: (original & 3 copies).

OFFERORS SHALL COMPLETE ALL EXHIBIT LINE ITEM NUMBERS (ELINS) UNIT PRICES AND TOTAL AMOUNTS IN THE BASE YEAR AND FOR EACH OPTION PERIOD. While all proposed pricing will be fully evaluated in accordance with RFP Factor 7, the Government will consider only the sum total of the prices proposed for the following Exhibit Line Item Numbers (ELINs) to determine reasonableness, realism, and completeness for the purpose of performing any requiical trade-off analysis to determine the offeror proposing the best value to the Government: Base Year: FFP (ELINs A001 through A027) IDIQ (ELINs A050 through A065) Option 1: FFP (ELINs B001 through B027) IDIQ (ELINs B050 through B065) Option 2: FFP (ELINs C001 through C027) IDIQ (ELINs C050 through C065) Option 3: FFP (ELINs D001 through D027) IDIQ (ELINs D050 through D065) Option 4: FFP (ELINs E001 through E027) IDIQ (ELINs E050 through E065) Option 5: FFP (ELINs F001 through F027) IDIQ (ELINs F050 through F065) Option 6: FFP (ELINs G001 through G027) IDIQ (ELINs G050 through G065) Option 7: FFP (ELINs H001 through H027) IDIQ (ELINs H050 through H065) Option 8: FFP (ELINs J001 through J037) IDIQ (ELINs J050 through J065) Option 9: FFP (ELINs K001 through K027) IDIQ (ELINs K050 through K065) In the event there is a difference between a unit price and the extended total amount, the unit price will be held to be the intended price and the total of the ELINs will be recomputed accordingly.
