SECTION SF 30 BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE SUMMARY OF CHANGES Changes in Solicitation/Contract/Order Form The required response date/time has changed from 06-Sep-2002 00:00 to 06-Sep-2002 12:00 Changes in Section SF 1449 The following clauses which are incorporated by full text have been added or modified: 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2000) 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999) ADDENDUM TO FAR 52-212-2 EVALUATION OF COMMERCIAL ITEMS JAN 1999 EVALUATION CRITERIA. Section ?E? of the solicitation describes in detail the evaluation process and as such, forms the basis of this plan. 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 following factors shall be used to evaluate offers. (a) Past Performance (see FAR 15.304); (b) Price Past Performance is significantly more important than price. Offerors do have the ability to submit a letter stating that their company is without any relevant past and present performance information. In those cases, the offeror will receive a neutral rating. Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer?s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. This is a best value competitive acquisition and is conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.101-1, Tradeoff Process. Award will be made to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR whose proposal conforms to the RFP?s requirements, and is judged to represent the best value to the Government. The best value is represented by the most advantageous offer. To arrive at a best value decision, the Contracting Officer (CO) will integrate Past and Present Performance Criteria, Price Criteria, and any other solicitation provisions cited in this document. The CO is the Source Selection Authority responsible for the final decision to select a contractor. The CO will conduct the selection using the procedures specified from the revised Air Force Source Selection policies and procedures contained in the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 15, DOD FAR Sup, Air Force FAR Sup, and Air Force Appendix DD. The Government evaluation team and the CO will strive for maximum objectivity. The selection process, by its nature, is subjective and therefore, professional judgement is implicit throughout the entire process. The Government intends to select one Contractor for the subject solicitation. However, the Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of the proposal submitted. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions. EVALUATION CRITERIA AND GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS AND THEIR ORDER OF IMPORTANCE: Past and Present Performance Criteria: Past and Present Performance carries greater weight than Price. Past and Present Performance is the most important factor in the award decision. The main purpose of the Past and Present Performance evaluation is to appropriately consider each offerors demonstrated record of contract compliance in supplying products and services that meet user?s needs including cost and schedule. Past and Present Performance Information is recent and relevant information regarding a Contractor?s actions under previously awarded contracts. Recent performance is defined as within the past three (3) years. Current performance will have a greater impact in the performance confidence assessment than less recent performance. The offeror?s Past and Present Performance will be evaluated to include: 1) the Contractor?s record of conforming to statement of works and the standards in the operation/management of REFUSE AND RECYCLING services, 2) the Contractor?s history of business relations and management of key personnel; 3) the Contractor?s environmental record; 4) the Contractor?s security record; and 5) the Contractor?s ability to perform quality service and minimize customer complaints. The offeror shall provide references from both Governmental (federal, state, and local) and non-Government sources related to Refuse and Recycling services. References should be similar in size and scope to this acquisition or greater to be considered applicable to the evaluation. Relevant information is defined as a contract for Refuse and Recycling services and waste. The offeror shall fully complete the Offeror?s Performance Information Form (Attachment 1) and send the Past Performance Information Form and Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 2) as required in the previous section. A maximum of ten completed questionnaires will be accepted and evaluated per offeror. Offerors will be given the opportunity to refute any adverse information provided in Past and Present Performance information research (if rebuttal information is not already provided on the form/survey). The offeror shall limit this rebuttal to addressing the specific negative comments. The offeror shall clearly distinguish between any rebuttal already provided on a form/survey versus those rebuttals provided for the purposes of this proposal. The offer may also address relevancy in accordance with FAR 15.306(a)(2). The Government may use Past and Present Performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the offeror(s). Information obtained by this method will be used for both the responsibility determination and evaluation decision. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant Past and Present Performance or for whom information on Past Performance is not available, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on Past and Present Performance. Should offerors wish to provide information on problems encountered on the identified contracts and the corrective action taken, please submit such information with proposals as well in accordance with FAR 15.305(2). Past and Present Performance evaluation is accomplished through assignment of a confidence assessment rating based on assessing performance risk. The rating is as follows: Definition Rating Based on the offeror?s performance record, essentially no doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. EXCEPTIONALHigh Confidence Based on the offeror?s performance record, little doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. VERY GOODSignificant Confidence Based on the offeror?s performance record, some doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. SATISFACTORYConfidence No performance record is identifiable [see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iii) and (iv)]. NEUTRALUnknown Confidence Based on the offeror?s performance record, substantial doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Changes to the offeror?s existing processes may be necessary in order to achieve contract requirements. MARGINALLittle Confidence Based on the offeror?s performance record, extreme doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. UNACCEPTABLENo Confidence Price Criteria: Proposals shall be evaluated, for award purposes, based upon the total price proposed for basic requirements (base period) and all subsequent option periods. Offers for award purposes will be accomplished by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise such options. Unrealistically low or materially unbalanced offers, initially or subsequently, may be rejected or eliminated from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or the offeror has made an unrealistic proposal. 52.212-3 OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JUL 2002)
