The following FAR provisions and clauses apply to this solicitation and are incorporated by reference: FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items (JAN 2004), 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999) (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Contracting Officer shall consider the following in regards to evaluation iaw FAR Part 13; Past Performance and Price, with past performance being somewhat more important than price. (1) Past Performance Evaluation Standards: The offeror shall demonstrate Past Performance through completion of similar U.S. Navy contracts for same or similar installations. The Contracting Officer may consider past performance experience with contracts that cover numerous other types of marine decking installation contracts. Data submitted by the offero r other than relevant contracts may not be considered. The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. Failure to submit past performance information shall be considered certification (by signature on the proposal) that the contractor has no past performance for like or similar items for the Government to evaluate. Offerors are required to provide information on no more than three (3) of the firm?s most recently completed U.S. Navy (not to exceed three years since completion) for like or similar services to those to be provided under this RFQ. Offerors may submit performance data regarding current contract performance as long as a minimum of one year of performance has been completed as of the closing date of this solicitation. Offerors who present similar contracts/orders should provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the co ntract/order to the requirements of the solicitation. Offerors lacking relevant past performance history, or for whom past performance information is either not available or has not been submitted to the Government, will receive a neutral rating for past performance. A neutral rating will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably. However, the proposal with no relevant past performance history, while rated neutral in past performance, may not represent the most advantageous quote to the Government and thus, may be an unsuccessful quote when compared to the proposals of other offerors having acceptable or better past performance. Offerors are cautioned that the Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any sources including sources outside of the Government. The Government will obtain whatever information it deems most relevant to the required effort by telephonic and/or written inquiry. This information may include Contracting Officer?s knowledge and experience with contracts he or she has written, Performance Assessment Reporting Systems (CPARS), or past performance information from any source. The information contained in offeror's Past Performance submittals will be evaluated by the PCO with the assistance of a Contract Specialist, if assigned. The PCO will evaluate the offeror's Past Performance using the following sub-factors, which are of equal importance. (a) Quality: The offeror?s demonstrated history of delivering products and services of high quality and compliance with contractual requirements. Quality will be evaluated in terms of: overall customer satisfaction, instances of rework and/or deficiency reports, and evidence of effective and/or innovative work applications that were beneficial to the customer. (b)Timeliness: The offeror?s compliance with delivery and/or performance schedules, timeliness of submission of requested information, reports, and invoicing. (c) Contractor Responsiveness: The offeror?s demonstrated ability to respond to customer concerns, isolates and resolves problems, and takes systemic improvement action. Each performance risk assessment of the factors listed above will consider: the number, type, and severity of problems, the effectiveness of corrective actions taken and the overall work record. The assessment of performance risk is not intended to be the product of a mechanical or mathematical analysis of an offeror?s performance on a list of contracts, but rather the product of subjective judgment of the government after it considers all available, relevant and recent information, therefore the adjectival ratings generally correlate with the definitions of performance risk as follows: Very Low Performance Risk: Based on the offeror's performance record, virtually no doubt exists that the offeror will very successfully perform the required effort. Performance meets and exceeds contractual requirements to the Federal Government?s benefit. The contractual performance of the element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective. This equates to Highly Acceptable (HA). Low Performance Risk: Based on the offeror's performance record, little doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Performance meets contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element being assessed contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appears or were satisfactory. This equates to Highly Acceptable (HA). Moderate Performance Risk: Based on the offeror's performance record, some doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions or the contractor?s proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented. This equates to Acceptable (A). High Performance Risk: Based on the offeror's performance record, significant doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element being assessed contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor?s corrective actions appear or were ineffective. This equates to Marginal (M). Neutral: No relevant past performance history, or for which past performance information is not provided or available. Unknown performance risk assessment. This equates to Neutral (N). Under most circumstances, it will be unnecessary to divulge the solicitation number, or other identifying information to the reference. In the event that it is necessary, you need to obtain a non-disclosure statement from the party to whom the information was provided. The assessment of the offeror?s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capability of the offerors to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP. In determining the rating of past performance evaluation factor, the Government will give greater consideration to the contracts which the Government determines are most relevant to the RFP. 2. Price: The PCO will evaluate Price. When the proposals are received, the PCO shall review the submission of offers as specified in FAR Clause 52.212-1 Instruction to Offerors? Commercial Items (Jan 2004), paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(11). The Government intends to make a single award to the responsible offeror whose total offer is the most advantageous to the Government. Offers must include prices for the CLIN listed. Failure to do this may be cause for rejection of the offer for the CLIN listed. The offeror?s proposed price will be evaluated on the basis of price reasonableness in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.404-1. The evaluation may include, but is not limited to: a) Price comparison with other offerors; b) Completeness: All pricing information as it directly relates to the SOW; and c) Comparison with independent Government estimates. Although price is the least most important evaluation factor, it has the potential to become more significant during the evaluation process. The degree of importance of the price will increase with the degree of equality of the proposals in relation to the other factor on which selection is to be based. The importance of price will also increase when a proposal's price is so significantly high as to diminish the value to the Government that might be gained under the other aspects of the offer. If, at any stage of the evaluation, all offeror?s are determined to have submitted equal, or virtually equal, or generally equivalent, non-price proposals, price could become the factor in determining which offeror shall received the award; FAR 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items (JAN 2004) ALTERNATE I (APR 2002), FAR 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items (OCT 2003)(a) Inspection/Acceptance Addendum: Contractor shall expect a reaso nable degree of pre-acceptance inspection by ship?s representative(s) to validate and confirm all final product conforms to the specifications described in this solicitation and in conjunction with what is considered industry standard on U.S. Navy vessels here in Norfolk, FAR 52.212-5 Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes or Executive Orders (JAN 2004) within this clause, the following clauses apply and are incorporated by reference: 52.219-06 Notice of Total Small Business Set-Aside (June 2003), 52.222-19 Child Labor?Cooperation with Authorities and Remedies (JAN 2004)(E.O. 13126), 52.222-21 Prohibition of Segregated Facilities (Feb 1999), 52.222-26 Equal Opportunity (APR 2002) (E.O. 11246), 52.222-35 Equal Opportunity for Special Disabled Veterans, Veterans of the Vietnam Era and other Eligible Veterans (DEC 2001) (38 U.S.C. 4212), 52.222-36 Affirmative Action for Workers with Disabilities (JUN 1998) (29 U.S.C. 793), 52.222-37 Employment Reports o n Special Disabled Veterans and Veterans of the Vietnam Era and Other Eligible Veterans (DEC 2001) (38 U.S.C. 4212), 52.222-41 Service Contract Act of 1965 (JUL 2005), 52.222-42 Statement of Equivalent rates for Federal Hires (MAY 1989), 52.225-13 Restrictions on Certain Foreign Purchases (OCT 2003) (E.O.S, proclamations, and statutes administered by Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Department of Treasury), 52.232-33 Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer --Central Contractor Registration (OCT 2003) (31 U.S.C. 3322), FAR 252.232-7003 Electronic Submission Of Payment Requests (DEC 2003), FAR 52.215-5 Facsimile Proposals (OCT 1997).
