The performance period will include a base year and four 12-month option periods. This solicitation is UNRESTRICTED. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 562111 and the size standard is $11.5 million dollars. This solicitation incorporates Far 52.212-1, 52.212-2, 52.212-3, 52.212-4 and 52.212-5, which are attached to the solicitation. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers: Factor # 1 Key Personnel, Vehicles & Equipment, and Reporting. Provide a resume of Project Manager and Quality Control Manager to be assigned to the contract. Key Personnel shall have a minimum five years experience and have a High School Diploma or GED equivalent. 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 5 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. 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: Past Performance is more important than Key Personnel. Technical factors, when combined, are more important than 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.
