END OF ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1 (ix) FAR 52.212-2, EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) FAR 52.212-2, EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) applies to this acquisition and the specific evaluation criterion to be included in paragraph (a) of the provision is 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 determination of greatest value will be made by comparing the differences in the values of the Business Solution factors with the differences in the prices proposed. The Business Solution factors when combined are significantly more important that price. However, the Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall price to achieve only slightly superior performance capability. The Government will make this assessment through the development of trade-off analyses or other analytical studies that involve the assessment of benefits of superior performance capability features versus the added costs. As non-price factors approach equality, price as an evaluation factor becomes increasingly more important. The Government intends to award without discussions; however, the Government may conduct discussion if determined necessary. The quotes will be evaluated on the criteria listed below: VOLUME I - BUSINESS SOLUTION The business solution factors, listed in descending order of importance, when combined are significantly more important than price. MANAGEMENT APPROACH In accordance with the "Instructions to Offerors" above, quotes will be evaluated on the offeror's offered staffing plan, management and oversight, employee qualification, and ability to fulfill and execute the requirements of the PWS. TECHNICAL APPROACH In accordance with the "Instructions to Offerors" above, quotes will be evaluated on the information contained in the technical approach that demonstrates the degree of understanding by the offeror of the requirements and proposed methodology. PAST PERFORMANCE In accordance with the "Instructions to Offerors" above, quotes will be evaluated on the offeror's demonstrated relevant past performance or affirmative statement that it possesses no relevant or no past performance. Relevant past performance is performance under contracts or efforts (within the past 3 years) that is of the same or similar scope, magnitude, and complexity to that which is described in the solicitation. This information will be used to assess the contractor's past performance history. Offerors without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available will be given a neutral rating. VOLUME II - PRICE QUOTE The Business Solution factors when combined are significantly more important than price. While the price is not the most important evaluation factor, its importance in this procurement will not be overlooked. The degree of its importance will increase commensurately with the degree of equality among technical solutions. For evaluation purposes, the entire 60 months potential period shall be broken out in five 12-month periods (base and option periods) will be evaluated.

Deductions from the contractor's monthly invoices will be taken when performance fails to meet established standards. Established Standards: Established standards are defined as failure to complete any of the periodic tasks. Upon notification by the COR of a deficiency, the contractor will be given 24 hours to correct the deficiency. An example of a deficiency is the failure to empty a trash can(s), failure to stock a restroom(s), etc. If the contractor is notified of three deficiencies within a thirty (30) day period, performance is deemed "unsatisfactory" and a deduction will be taken from the contractor's next invoice in accordance with the procedures that follow. Procedures: When contractor performance is determined to be unsatisfactory in accordance with established standards, an invoice deduction will be taken. Deductions will be calculated 1/30th of the unit price (monthly rate) for each incidence of unsatisfactory performance. It is possible that more than one incidence of unsatisfactory performance is deducted from any given invoice.
