PURSUANT TO SECTION 6001 OF THE RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT OF 1976 (RCRA), 42 USC 6961, AND SECTION 66.0108, ARTICLE 6, OF THE SAN DIEGO MUNICIPAL CODE, OFFERORS MUST POSSESS (AT TIME OF AWARD) A VALID, UNREVOKED, AND UNEXPIRED CITY-GRANTED, NON-EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO TO BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE SOLICITED CONTRACT. PROOF OF SAID FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WILL BE REQUIRED PRIOR TO AWARD OF THE SUBJECT CONTRACT. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers: Factor #1 Key Personnel, Vehicles & Equipment, and Reporting. Key Personnel: Provide a resume of Project Manager and Quality Control Manager to be assigned to the contract. Vehicles & Equipment: Describe in sufficient detail, vehicles and equipment to meet the work requirements identified in the performance work statement (e.g., leased or owned, how many, age, and status). Explain how offeror will maintain equipment and containers in a clean, sanitary condition, and minimize odors. Reporting: Provide the process the offeror will use to ensure refuse and recyclable materials will be segregated, weighed and documented in accordance with the performance work statement. Factor #2 Past Performance Provide a list of up to 10 contracts similar in size and complexity to the solicited contract that were completed during the past 3 years and a list of all such similar contracts currently in process. Contracts listed may include those entered into by the Federal Government, agencies of state and local governments and commercial customers. Provide the information on Exhibit A for each contract. Evaluation of past performance will often be subjective. The evaluation of past performance will include the contractor's history of reasonable and cooperative behavior, commitment to customer satisfaction, record of conforming to applicable law and industry standards (i.e., Service Contract Act Wage Determinations); quality of workmanship, record of recommending and/or implementing innovative approaches and/or technologies; record of controlling costs; safety performance record, and adherence to schedules. The Government reserves the right to contact any other sources of information that may have knowledge or information on an offeror's relevant past performance history. Offers which lack relevant past performance history will receive a neutral rating for this factor. Any offeror's proposal which has no relevant past performance history, while rated neutral, may not represent the most advantageous proposal to the Government and thus, may not be competitive when compared to proposals of other offerors. Factor #3 Price The price proposal for the base and all option periods will be evaluated to determine the reasonableness, realism, and completeness of the offeror's proposal. One or more of the following techniques will be used to ensure a fair and reasonable price: 1. Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation. 2. Comparison of proposed prices with the independent Government estimate. 3. Comparison of proposed prices with available historical information. 4. Comparison of proposed prices with resources proposed. A price that is found to be either unreasonably high or unrealistically low in relation to the proposed work may be indicative of an inherent lack of understanding of the solicitation requirements and may result in the overall proposal being considered unacceptable. Relative Importance of the Evaluation Factors: Key Personnel, Vehicles & Equipment, and Reporting and Past Performance are equally important to each other and when combined, are approximately equal to cost or price. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered.
