If approved, four (4) option years may be included in the resulting solicitation prior to negotiations. Selection of a contractor will be made by an integrated assessment of the proposals submitted. The integrated assessment will involve a determination by the Government of the overall merit of each offeror's proposal. All offeror's proposal will be comprised of a technical, management, and cost proposal. The technical proposal will be evaluated for (a) understanding the contract requirements; (b) proposed staffing; (c) proposed equipment. The management proposal will be evaluated for (a) prior staff supervisory and management experience in cleaning and mowing operations or other similar multi-tasked work; (b) adequacy and reasonableness of work plans; (c) adequacy and reasonableness of personnel management policies and procedures; (d) prior experience and past performance as a contractor in the cleaning or mowing operations or other similar multi-tasked work. Technical and management proposals will be assigned a numerical score. This evaluation will be accomplished without reference to cost. Cost proposals will not be scored, but will be evaluated for reasonableness by cost/price analysis. The total estimated contract cost, to include the base year and four option years, will be considered as an independent element from the technical and management proposals. Cost proposals will be reviewed for completeness, credibility, and compatibility with the technical and management proposals. Award will be made to the highest evaluated offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and has been evaluated as most advantageous to the Government considering all factors including technical, management, and cost.
