The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (1) Technical Acceptability, (2) Satisfactory Past Performance, and (3) Price. All factors are of equal importance. All quotes submitted will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability, Satisfactory Past Performance, and Price. The Government will issue award to the offeror whose quote is the Lowest Price of those determined to meet at least the minimum requirements to be determined Technically Acceptable and demonstrates satisfactory past performance. (1) Technical Acceptability - Defined as the documented capability to meet the minimum requirements of the project as specified in this Solicitation and the attached Specifications. The contractor shall provide sufficient documentation of their technical capability, such as experience of the company and/or equipment lists, etc. or other information to enable the Government to determine the company's capability on similar type, size, scope and complexity. (2) Satisfactory Past Performance - The offeror shall submit documentation of satisfactory performance on past or current contracts involving contracts of a similar type, size, scope and complexity, as well as, provide references, including names and contact information of references who can verify past performance. Past performance information of key personnel and crew may be provided if the company has limited or no past performance. 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 be evaluated as neutral on Past Performance, providing the offeror supplies a certified statement with their offer that no past performance information is available. The Government's approach to evaluating past performance is to check the references provided by the contractor to verify satisfactory past performance as well as data obtained from other sources available i.e. government database, past contract files, etc. The offeror is cautioned that while the Government will consider data from other sources, the burden of demonstrating satisfactory past performance rests with the offeror. (3) Price - Quotes will be examined to determine the extent to which proposed prices are comparable with the Government's estimate, previous procurement history, and a determination of price reasonableness. The Government may reject any quote that is determined to not be fair and reasonable, unrealistically high or low in price when compared to the Government estimate, or unbalanced, such that the quote is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the requirements. It is incumbent upon the offeror to submit sufficient documentation and information for the Government to determine technical acceptability, satisfactory past performance and proposed price. Failure to submit sufficient information for the government to determine technical acceptability, past performance or price may be cause for rejection of your quote.
