The following paragraphs are added to 52.212-1: (m) Offerors are REQUIRED to submit Past and Present Performance Information with their proposal. FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items is applicable. The second sentence of Paragraph (a) is amended as follows: "The factors identified below, past performance and price being ranked coequally, will be considered during proposal evaluation. A SINGLE AWARD SHALL BE MADE ON AN "ALL OR NONE" BASIS TO THE SUCCESSFUL RESPONSIVE AND RESPONSIBLE OFFEROR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ENSUING CRITERIA. EACH OFFEROR'S PROPOSAL SHALL BE PREPARED AS OUTLINED BELOW. A) PART 1 - PAST PERFORMANCE. The evaluation of Part 1 data will result in a rating of exceptional, very good, satisfactory, none, marginal, or unsatisfactory. Factor: Past performance or experience in the refuse collection and disposal industry. B) PART 2 - PRICE. The evaluation of Part 2 will result in ranking the quotation by lowest aggregate price. Factor: Price. Offerors must prepare proposals in sufficient detail to permit a thorough evaluation of each part. Each part must be clearly marked "Part 1 – Past Performance" and "Part 2 - Price". The offerors will be evaluated using the Performance - Price Trade-Off procedures in accordance with Attachment No. 3, entitled "Evaluation of Offerors". (I) FACTOR 1: PAST PERFORMANCE. Offerors shall provide information on present and past performance that summarizes present and prior Government (federal, state and local) and commercial contracts they consider relevant to this effort and the evaluation criteria to demonstrate their ability to perform the proposed effort. Offerors are advised that the Government will use all available data. All such data used, including data related to offeror's performance as a subcontractor and to the performance of the offeror's proposed subcontractor(s) will be reflected in the evaluation of the prime contractor. Complete the PAST AND PRESENT PERFORMANCE INFORMATION QUESTIONNAIRE See Attachment No. 4. Past Performance describes how well the contractor performed the work. Offerors are restricted to documenting three of the most recent and relevant contracts. Offerors shall submit the past and present performance information on contracts they consider relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort. This information may include data on efforts performed by other divisions, corporate management, critical subcontractors, or teamed subcontractors, if such resources will be brought to bear or significantly influence the performance of the proposed effort. For all current or past contracts deemed relevant, the offeror shall provide the following type of information: (a) Company/Division name, (b) Program Title, (c) Contracting Agency, (d) Contract Number, (e) Brief description of the contract effort, (f) Type of contract, (g) Period of performance (h) Original contract $ value and current $ value, (I) Original completion date and current completion date (j) Name, telephone number and address of the Commercial and Government Director/Program Manager, and for Government contracts, the Contracting Officer. Offerors shall explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort. Explain the relevancy of the past contracts in terms of the effort required by the Statement of Work. Offerors are permitted, but not required, to submit information on significant achievements or to explain past problems they consider relevant to the proposed effort, as well as past efforts to identify and manage risk and corrective actions taken. If offerors have no relevant past performance, the proposal must so state. (ALERT: Offerors are strongly encouraged to use the PAST AND PRESENT PERFORMANCE INFORMATION QUESTIONNAIRE). If you choose not to use the PAST AND PRESENT PERFORMANCE INFORMATION QUESTIONNAIRE, you are cautioned to complete and provide with your proposal all the data requested in the Questionnaire. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the offeror's ability to perform the effort described in this RFP, based on the offeror's demonstrated present and past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall risk rating of exceptional, very good, satisfactory, none, marginal, or unsatisfactory. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history shall receive the rating "none", meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. (II) FACTOR 2: PRICE. Price will be evaluated for fairness, and reasonableness as it relates to the service offered. (1) Fairness and reasonableness - the degree to which the proposed price compares to the price a reasonable and prudent person would expect to incur for the same or similar goods or services. Award will be made based on the best value to the Government. Past Performance and Price are of equal value. FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items, is applicable. The following sentences are added to the existing paragraph (a) in FAR 52.212-4: "If any of the services do not conform with contract requirements, the Government may require the Contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in contract amount. When the defects in services cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Government may (i) require the Contractor to take necessary action to ensure that future performance conforms to contract requirements and (ii) reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed. If the Contractor fails to promptly perform the services again or to take the necessary action to ensure future performance in conformity with contract requirements, the Government may (i) by contract or otherwise, perform the services and charge to the contractor any cost incurred by the Government that is directly related to the performance of such service or (ii) terminate the contract for cause."
