Evaluation of proposals will be based on price and non-price factors, with contract award to be made to the offeror submitting the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal to the Government. The factors of Offeror Experience and Past Performance are of equal weight and when combined, are significantly less important than price. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD The solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-price factors: Factor 1 - Offeror Experience Factor 2 - Past Performance The distinction between experience and past performance is experience pertains to the types of work and volume of work completed by a contractor that are comparable to the types of work covered by this requirement, in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Past performance relates to how well a contractor has performed. PRICE EVALUATION The Government will evaluate total price for the basic requirement together with any option(s) exercised at the time of award in accordance with FAR 52.217-4 Evaluation of Options Exercised at Time of Contract Award. Analysis will be performed by the following techniques to ensure a fair and reasonable price: (1) Comparison of the proposed prices received in response to the solicitation; and (2) Comparison of proposed prices with the Independent Government Estimate.

All projects submitted which are not relevant in scope will be removed and discarded prior to evaluation. Offerors who submit relevant projects for a subsidiary, satellite office, parent company, or predecessor company must fully explain how this office will participate in this contract. If it is not clear how this office will participate in this contract, the project will be removed and discarded prior to evaluation.

Additionally, the Offeror ™s contract history must demonstrate relevant knowledge in terms of landscape practices and tree planting, working with tropical terrestrial flora, and general knowledge of all safety and environmental requirements associated with the work they perform. Further, as an integral part of client satisfaction, the Offeror ™s termination for default history and safety record will also be evaluated.
