In addition, clauses, 52.222-41, 52.222-42, and 52.222-44 or 52.222-53, included in 52.212-5 may be deemed applicable pending contractors response to paragraph (k)(2) in FAR Provision 52.212-3. The following clauses included in 252.212-7001 are applicable: 252.225-7001, 252.232-7003 and 252.247-7023 Alt III. The service contract wage determination applicable for the location of the proposed hotel facility will be made a part of any resulting award if FAR clause 52.222-41 is determined to be applicable. Each offer shall indicate if credit card (VISA) is an acceptable form of payment. Award will be made to the low price technically acceptable (LPTA) quote which represents the most advantageous scenario to the government considering the potential for multiple awards. Since multiple awards will be considered, vendors are not required to bid every line item. While multiple awards will be considered, vendors may enter into subcontract agreements with other facilities and submit one quote for all requirements. In determining the most advantageous scenario, the government will evaluate pricing as follows: 1 - Each line item will be evaluated separately. 2 - If it is determined one vendor can meet all requirements (lodging, conference, catering, etc.) for all line items and offers the overall lowest price, one award may be made to the one vendor. 3 - If no one vendor can accommodate all lodging, catering, and/or conference facilities for this event, in order to be advantageous to the government, the lodging facility(ies) must be located within a one mile radius (radius according to mapquest.com) of the facility determined to offer the LPTA conference quote. For example, if a conference facility in Richmond, VA is able to meet all conference requirements for the event and is determined to be the low conference price, but is not able to meet the lodging requirements, only hotels within a one (1) mile radius (radius according to mapquest.com) will be considered for award, unless no cost transportation is provided by the hotel located outside of the one (1) mile radius. 4 - An evaluation factor of $500.00 per award will be applied in determining if it is in the government's best interest from an administrative standpoint to make multiple awards. This monetary evaluation factor is separate from determining the number of facilities needed to be utilized to meet the requirement which will also be considered in determining if it is advantageous to make multiple awards. For purposes of price evaluation, if there is a mathematical error in which the unit price multiplied by the quantity does not equal the extended total, the unit price will prevail and be used for evaluation and award purposes. To be determined technically acceptable, the following minimum requirements must be met: 1) The quote must provide for all services which are being quoted (i.e. if quoting the conference, contractor must be able to provide conference space, catering, support equipment, etc.). 2) Hotel(s) must have on-site parking for at least one vehicle per room reserved or provide off-site parking within a three (3) city block radius. The conference facility shall have parking for 400 vehicles. 3) Facilities being proposed for lodging and conference must be located within a 30 mile radius of 500 Dove St. Richmond, VA (radius according to mapquest.com). 4) Lodging facility must be FEMA approved. In order to determine if minimum requirement 1) can be met, all services requested must either be priced or annotated as provided at no additional cost and a conference space accommodations chart must accompany the quote. For minimum requirements 2) & 4) offeror must provide a fact sheet which addresses each minimum requirement. The physical location of the proposed hotel facility must be provided to permit a determination to be made to ascertain if minimum requirement 3) can be met. If the information required is available on-line, a website address can be provided in lieu of the fact sheet. Pricing shall be provided on attached pricing worksheet. Paragraph (e) of FAR Provision 52.212-1 encourages offerors to present alternative terms and conditions for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Should any term or condition (i.e. number of hours prior to event attendee may cancel reservation, etc.) be altered, offeror must clearly annotate the alteration in the quote. The government may or may not accept the alternative term or condition. Such determination will be made based on if it is in the governments best interest to accept the proposed alternative. In anticipation of questions regarding if the government per diem rate is required, the following response is provided. The solicitation is being issued on a competitive basis. The rate utilized for purposes of award will be the rates proposed by the offeror(s) determined to offer the lowest technically acceptable offer. Contractors can and are encouraged to provide room rates below the established per diem rate. As stated in paragraph (g) of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Provision 52.212-1, included in this solicitation, The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offerors initial offer should contain the offerors best terms from a price and technical standpoint. All questions shall be submitted in writing and received by 4:00 p.m. ET, November 16, 2010. Questions can be sent via email, susan.p.hensley@us.army.mil or fax (434) 298-6202. Quotes are due not later than 4:00 p.m. ET, November 19, 2010. Quotes may be faxed to 434-292-6202, Attn: MSG Susan P. Hensley, or emailed to susan.p.hensley@us.army.mil.
