In requesting offers of service under this SOW, GSA is concerned with areas of non-compliance that is attributable to and the responsibility of GSA. The Primary Standard of Reference for the Work is: • ASTM Standard Practice for Environmental Regulatory Compliance Audits (E-2107-06) 2 DEFINITIONS 2.1 ENVIRONMENT Environment at GSA is defined as- "Interior and exterior surroundings in which GSA operates, including air, water, land, natural resources, humans, flora fauna, and their interrelationships, relative to individuals and communities." Environment for example includes indoor air quality in space provided to other federal organizations but does not include PBS staff health and safety issues. 2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT, COMPLIANCE AUDIT AND ASSESSMENT EPA defines Environmental Auditing as "a systematic, documented, periodic, and objective review of facility operations and practices related to meeting environmental requirements. EPA identifies several objectives for environmental audits: A) Verifying compliance with environmental requirements; B) Evaluating the effectiveness of in-place environmental management systems; and C) Assessing risks from regulated and unregulated materials and practices. ASTM E2107 defines an Environmental Regulatory Compliance Audit as - a systematic, documented, and objective review of an audited entity to evaluate its compliance status relative to audit criteria. 3 LOCATIONS See Appendix A. 4 CONTRACTOR QUALIFICATIONS The contractor performing this work shall have an understanding of the current legal, regulatory, and technical issues surrounding this work effort. The contractor shall be familiar with relevant federal, state, local environmental laws and regulations. The contractor shall have an understanding of and demonstrated experience with: • ASTM Standard Practice for Environmental Regulatory Compliance Audits (E-2107-06). Physical sampling and analysis is not envisioned to conduct the audits; however, an understanding of both the limitations of such assessments and means to maximize their effectiveness is required for effective completion of work in accordance with these standards. Personnel performing this work will also have experience with the following: 1) conducting environmental compliance audits of federal facilities; and 2) demonstrating an understanding of lease and occupancy agreements and experience with identifying environmental liabilities between landlords and tenant based on information provided in leasing and occupancy agreements Due to the sensitive nature of the work performed by some of GSA tenants, a security background check may be required. A Sensitive But Unclassified Document and Data Security Agreement must be completed for all employees who work on this contract. The following references are provided for informational purposes. Contractors are responsible for determining their applicability and use. • ISO 14010 - 1996 Guidelines for Environmental Auditing - General Principles • ISO 14012 - 1996 Guidelines for Environmental Auditing - Qualification Criteria for Environmental Auditors • ISO 14050 - 1998 Environmental management - Vocabulary • ISO/FDIS 14015 Environmental Management- Environmental assessment of sites and organizations (EASO). This international standard is expected to become final and issued in late 2001 or early 2002. EPA's Audit Program Design Guidelines • Generic Protocol for Conducting Environmental Audits of Federal Facilities • Guide to Environmental Enforcement and Compliance at Federal Facilities (commonly referred to as The Yellow Book). The guide provides information about the enforcement and compliance processes used by EPA at Federal facilities. 5 WORK TO BE PERFORMED For each of the sites noted in Appendix A of this SOW, the contractor will conduct an Environmental Regulatory Compliance Audit, using the Protocol in Appendix B, and provide a report outlining findings and recommendations. The contractor is responsible for determining the applicability of the standards and practices noted in Section 4 of this SOW. When considering potential environmental liability aspects associated with the existing site conditions contractor considerations shall include: • Current use and operations at the time of the audit • Possible future use and operations with the same general nature of tenant operations When considering environmental compliance aspects, the contractor shall consider all applicable local, state, and federal laws, regulations, executive orders, permits, conditions associated with permits, and their requirements, permit rules, and other agreements and commitments that have been made with government agencies and apply procedures and protocols as required for each GSA site. The extent of the audit will vary.

Basis for Award Award will be made to the Offeror whose proposal conforms to all the requirements of the solicitation and is considered to be most advantageous to the Government, price and technical factors considered. For the purposes of evaluation, the technical factors combined are equally important as price. As technical proposals become more equal in their technical merit, price becomes more important. The Government reserves the right to award a contract without discussions based upon initial proposals. Offeror's are therefore urged to provide their most competitive prices in their initial Price Proposals. 2. Technical Evaluation Offeror's will be evaluated based on its: 1) Experience, 2) Methodology and 3) Management Plan and Key Personnel. The technical evaluation factors of Experience and Methodology are of equal weight with regard to each other, and more important that the factor of Management Plan and Key Personnel. The three combined technical evaluation factors together are as equally important as price. 3. Standard for Technical Evaluation The evaluation factor consists of three components: Experience, Methodology and Management Plan and Key Personnel. A Experience Description: This factor considers the offeror's Experience in carrying out similar environment audits. Standard: The standard is met when the offeror demonstrates that it has performed similar environmental audits on three projects in the past three years. Additional consideration may be given to those offers that demonstrate: 1) experience with California, Nevada and or Arizona regulations, 2) experience in auditing laboratories, or 3) experience with federal facilities. B Methodology Description: This factor considers the Offero's proposed methodology to accomplish environmental audits. Standard: The standard is met when the Offeror provides a clear and concise description of how it will perform the scope of work that demonstrates the Offeror's understanding of the scope of work and the applicable relevant laws and standards. Additional consideration may be given to Offeror's that demonstrate unique or innovative approaches to the scope of work and/or the applicable relevant laws and standards. C. Management Plan and Key Personnel Description: This factor considers the Offero's overall company structure and the expertise that is organization and individuals bring to performing the scope of work. Standard: The standard is met when the Offeror demonstrates that it is assigning the appropriate organization and individuals with the appropriate experience to perform the scope of work. Additional consideration may be given to Offeror's that perform 100% of the scope of work, or that provide key personnel that demonstrate experience with California, Nevada and or Arizona environmental regulations. 4. Price Evaluation The total evaluated price shall be the lump sum price for all solicitation requirements. The award amount will be the total bid price. In addition, costs will be evaluated to determine price reasonableness, realism and balance. Additionally on the price proposal sheet the Offero's DUN's Number and Tax Id Number must be present. A copy of the System for Award Management (SAM) registration (http:www.sam.gov), documentation must be provided with the bid sheet. A. Price reasonableness is the measure of whether the prices proposed are excessive, based upon comparison with the Government estimate, and other measures of usual and customary prices for similar work or services. If any price component is found to be unreasonably high, Offeror's Price Proposal may be rejected. B. Price realism is the measure of whether an Offeror can be expected to successfully perform for the dollar amounts proposed. If any price component is found to be unrealistically low, the Offeror's Price Proposal may be rejected. C. An unbalanced price proposal is one which materially understates certain price components and overstates others, such that the Government cannot reasonable determine whether award to the Offeror will result in the lowest total cost to the Government.
