Relative Weighting of Criteria- The award will be made based on the best overall (i.e., best value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the two (2) evaluation factors: Technical Factor and Price Factor.� There are two subfactors within the Technical Factor: Subfactor 1:� Technical Specifications Subfactor 2:� Standard Warranty There are no subfactors within the Price Factor. The Government will weigh the relative benefits of each proposal and award will be made based on an integrated assessment of the results of the best value tradeoff evaluation.� In making the integrated assessment of the evaluation results, the Contracting Officer will give due consideration to all of the Factors and Subfactors and their relative order of importance.� Technical Subfactors; all Technical Subfactors will be of equal importance.� For evaluation purposes, the Technical Factor is more important than the Price Factor.� Price will be evaluated, but will not be rated with a color or adjectival rating.� The Government reserves the right to make an award to other than the lowest priced offeror, or to the Offeror with the highest technical rating, if the Contracting Officer determines that to do so would result in the best value to the Government.� Offerors that receive a final rating of Red/Unacceptable OR Yellow/Marginal at any Factor/Subfactor level are ineligible for award. All prices will be evaluated for price reasonableness. The Government reserves the right to not consider proposals whose contents demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding of the requirement. Proposals must provide convincing documentary evidence in support of a conclusion(s) relating to promised performance and conformance to the Government�s requirements. The Government intends to award without discussions (except for clarification as described in FAR 15.306(a)), as permitted by FAR 15.306(a)(3) and FAR 52.215-1. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions to permit Offerors to revise their proposals, if it is determined to be of benefit to the Government.� All Offerors are urged to ensure that their initial proposals are submitted with the most favorable terms in order to reflect their best possible potential. 2.0 Evaluation Approach All proposals will be evaluated in a fair and consistent manner.� All proposals will be subject to evaluation by a team of Government personnel. The Offeror whose proposal is determined to provide the best value will be awarded the purchase order.� The Government intends to award without discussions (except for clarification as described in FAR 15.306(a)), as permitted by FAR 15.306(a)(3) and FAR 52.215-1. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions to permit Offerors to revise their proposals. Minimum Acceptability: If an Offeror takes exception to any of the terms and conditions of thesolicitation, the offer may not be considered for contract award. All Offerors are urged to ensure that their initial proposals are submitted with the most favorable terms in order to reflect their best possible potential. Discussions: A proposal is presumed to represent the Offeror�s best effort to respond to the solicitation. Each proposal should contain the Offeror�s best terms for award of an purchase Order. In accordance with (IAW) FAR 52.215-1, the Government reserves the right to award without discussions. The Contracting Officer will make the determination as to whether or not discussions are necessary. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions to permit Offerors to revise their proposals. If discussions are deemed necessary by the Government, then all Offerors in the competitive range will participate in discussions and shall be advised of any significant strengths, strengths, significant weaknesses, weaknesses, uncertainties, and/or deficiencies in their proposal. If discussions are held, Offerors shall be given a reasonable opportunity to correct or resolve any significant weaknesses, weakness and/or deficiencies and to submit technical, cost or other revisions to their proposal that may result from discussions. One or more proposal revisions may be required. At the conclusion of discussions, a final common cut-off date, which allows a reasonable opportunity for submission of written final offers, shall be established and all Offerors in the competitive range will be notified. Any final proposal revisions received will be evaluated and the re-evaluation will be documented in a final evaluation report. The final evaluation report will not contain a recommendation pertaining to which Offeror(s) should be selected for award. Proposals that are unrealistic in terms of technical or are unrealistically low or high in price, will be considered indicative of a lack of understanding of the complexity and risk in the contract requirements. For consideration of an award of this procurement action, Offerors are cautioned that unsupported promises to comply with the contractual requirements will not be sufficient. Proposals must provide convincing documentary evidence in support of a conclusion(s) relating to promised performance and conformance to the Government�s requirements. Technical Factor/Subfactor evaluation color code/adjectival ratings and definitions are as follows: Color Rating Description Blue Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low. Purple Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate. Green Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate. Yellow Marginal Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high. Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable. Within the Technical Factor, each Subfactor will be rated separately using the color code/adjectival ratings. Each Subfactor will be assessed for significant strengths, significant weaknesses, weaknesses, deficiencies, risks and uncertainties. Each Subfactor will be assigned an adjectival rating based upon these collective findings. The compilation of these Subfactor adjectival ratings will form the basis of the Factor rating.� Offerors that receive a final rating of Red/Unacceptable at any Factor/Subfactor level are ineligible for award. The adjectival and color rating from the table has an assessment of technical risk, which is manifested by the identification of weakness, considers potential for disruption of schedule, increased costs, degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and/or the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance. Evaluators will apply the adjectival rating for the definition that most closely matches the evaluation. Deficiency - A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. Significant Weakness - A flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. Weakness - A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. Strength - An aspect of an Offeror�s proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance. Significant Strength - An aspect of an Offeror's proposal that has appreciable merit or appreciably exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be appreciably advantageous to the Government during contract performance. Uncertainty - Any aspect of a non-cost/price Factor proposal for which the intent of the Offeror is unclear (e.g., more than one way to interpret the offer or inconsistencies in the proposal indicating that there may have been an error, omission or mistake). 3.0 Evaluation Factors The Government reserves the right to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors in the solicitation. The offerors� proposals shall be in the form prescribed by and shall contain a response to each of the areas identified in the Instructions to offerors solicitation provision entitled �Submission of Proposals.� The following evaluation factors and Subfactors will be used to evaluate each proposal: Volume I - Technical Factor Volume II - Price Factor The Technical Factor is more important than the Price Factor. The Technical Subfactors are all of equal importance. Evaluation of the Offeror�s proposal shall address all factors as they apply to the SOW.� VOLUME I � TECHNICAL FACTOR Subfactor 1 � Technical Specifications for Large Wheel Loader Proposals shall be evaluated for the following with regard to their proposed piece of equipment based on the requirements outlined in the SOW. Completeness of listed specifications: The offerors proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which it provides the required information to make a determination on the accuracy the proposed equipment meets the requirements outlined in the SOW. Specification Evaluation: The offerors proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the listed specifications meet the requirements outlined in the SOW.� Subfactor 2 � Standard Warranty Standard (Included) Warranty: The standard (included) warranty will be assessed based on its overall value to the division.� Offerors should include a complete warranty package that outlines every component of the machine that is covered and for how long that coverage applies as well as what that time is based on (months/years, hours of operation, etc). Offerors are� to include any additional warranties available for purchase at time of contract award.� These warranties should follow all the specifications outlined above, as well as including the price for each warranty option. VOLUME II � PRICE FACTOR The price proposal will be evaluated for reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b).� Price will not be scored.� The Price factor will not have an adjectival rating assigned.� The Offeror shall propose pricing for this solicitation in accordance with the SOW requirements.� The total evaluated price is the total price proposed for this solicitation.� Offerors shall utilize a Microsoft Excel file format with formals intact when submitting their price/cost proposal (FAR 15.403-5(b)(2)). A price analysis in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b) will be conducted on the total price for this solicitation. The total price for this solicitation will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness. Adequate competition is anticipated for this contract.� However, in the event that only one offer is received, the Government reserves the right to perform a cost analysis IAW FAR 15.404-1(c).� If the Government determines that adequate price competition was not obtained and/or if the total evaluated price cannot be deemed fair and reasonable, the ...
