Evaluation of Commercial Items will be in accordance with FAR provision 52.212-2. Proposals will be reviewed to determine which one represents the greatest value, price and other factors considered. Award will not necessarily be made to the lowest priced offeror, but rather the one that offers the best value to the National Park Service in terms of the following evaluation criteria: 1. Evaluation will be based on how well the technical approach will ensure the quality, timeliness, and effectiveness of the finished products produced. 2. Evaluation will be based on the quality and workmanship of as-built drawings and documentation from two prior Marine Life Tidepool projects produced by personnel that were of similar size and complexity. 3. Evaluation will be based on the education, knowledge, and work experience of all personnel, including subcontractors proposed for use under this contract. Evaluation will include the degree which the experience and roles of personnel in sample projects and resumes match their proposed roles under this contract. Special emphasis will be placed on documented experience on prior Marine Life Tidepool exhibit projects. 4. Evaluation will be based on the details regarding the warranty for the exhibits and how warranty work will be handled. The evaluation criteria are listed in descending order of importance. Price will be a factor in the award decision, although the award may not necessarily be made to that offeror submitting the lowest price. 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. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). Proposal submission requirements follow: All proposals shall be submitted in an original and one copy for receipt no later than 4:00 p.m., EST, August 3, 2007, and be clearly marked with Request for Quotations Number Q1106070082.
