(vii) The FAR Provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Item applies to this acquisition and is hereby incorporated by reference. All Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses may be viewed at http://acquisition.gov/comp/far/index.html (viii) EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS Award shall be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror. The Government will evaluate proposals based on the following evaluation criteria: A) Technical Capability; B) Past Performance and C) Price. Price shall not be evaluated on proposals that are determined technically unacceptable in accordance with the Technical Evaluation factors. Evaluation of Options: In accordance with FAR Provision 52.217-5, Evaluation of 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, except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government's best interests. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). A) TECHNICAL CAPABILITY: Provide two (2) completed projects performed in the past three (3) years similar to the size and scope of this requirement. Provide the name, dollar amount, period of performance, and description of each project submitted. B) PAST PERFORMANCE: The offeror's past performance information will be evaluated subsequent to the technical evaluation. However, this evaluation will not be conducted on any offeror whose proposal is determined to be technically unacceptable. The evaluation will be based on information obtained from references provided by the offeror, other relevant past performance information obtained from other sources known to the Government, and any information supplied by the offeror concerning problems encountered on the identified contracts and corrective action taken. The government will assess the relative risks associated with each offeror. Performance risks are those associated with an offeror's likelihood of success in performing the acquisition requirements as indicated by that offeror's record of past performance. The assessment of performance risk is not intended to be a product of a mechanical or mathematical analysis of an offeror's performance on a list of contracts but rather the product of subjective judgment by the Government after it considers relevant information. When assessing performance risks, the Government will focus on the past performance of the offeror as it relates to all acquisition requirements, such as the offeror's record of performing according to specifications, including standards of good workmanship; the offeror's record of controlling and forecasting costs; the offeror's adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; the offeror's reputation for reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and generally, the offeror's business-like concern for the interest of the customer. The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the offeror's performance. The lack of a relevant performance record may result in an unknown performance risk assessment, which will neither be used to the advantage nor disadvantage of the offeror. C) Price: An evaluation of the offeror's price quote will be made to determine if proposed prices are realistic for the work to be performed, reflect a clear understanding of the requirements, and are consistent with the technical proposal. Reasonableness determinations will be made by determining if competition exists, by comparing proposed prices with established commercial or GSA price schedules (if applicable), and/or by comparing proposed prices with the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE).
