Offerors shall be evaluated to determine whether they have performed similar contracts, in terms of scope and price, to the work required within the solicitation. Offerors shall provide the minimum requested project information on at least two (2) recent, relevant rodent eradication operational plans, rodent eradication environmental monitoring plans and rodent eradication support databases. The offeror shall have been the lead in developing the plan. Projects do not have to have been with a Federal Agency to be considered. A project is considered `recent ż if it has been completed within the past five (5) years or is currently ongoing (but at least 25% complete). A project is considered `relevant ż if it is similar in terms of scope and price to the work required within the solicitation. To be considered similar in scope, one project shall demonstrate work experience is developing operational and support plans for rodent eradication in remote island environments with limited ability to access additional resources. Please note that FACTOR 1 (Recent Relevant Experience) differs from FACTOR 2 (Recent Relevant Past Performance). FACTOR 1 determines whether or not an offeror has performed similar work whereas FACTOR 2 evaluates how well the offeror performed. FACTOR 1 RECENT RELEVANT EXPERIENCE Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation for this factor. Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation for this factor. FACTOR 2 ż RECENT RELEVANT PAST PERFORMANCE Offeror żs past performance shall be reviewed to determine relevancy and confidence assessment. Offerors shall provide at least two (2) recent, relevant rodent eradication operational plans, rodent eradication environmental monitoring plans and rodent eradication support databases Projects shall include current points of contact and phone numbers. The contractor is solely responsible for the accuracy of this information as the Government will not pursue incorrect contact data. For a project to be considered, the offeror shall have been the prime contractor on it. In addition to scope, each project shall have a current or final contract value greater than $50,000.00 and have been completed within the past five past five (5) years or be currently ongoing (but at least 25% complete). Furthermore, for each project to be considered, the offeror shall have been the Prime Contractor on it. Projects do not have to have been with a Federal Agency to be considered. Offerors may submit the same projects as those proposed for FACTOR 1 (Recent Relevant Experience). In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE / Unique Entity Identifiers (i.e. DUNS) of team members (i.e. partnerships, joint ventures, teaming arrangements or parent companies / subsidiaries / affiliates) identified in the offeror żs proposals, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) and any other known sources not provided by the offeror. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the offeror. FACTOR 2 RECENT RELEVANT PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION RATINGS DEFINITION Rating Description Acceptable Based on the offeror żs performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror żs performance record is unknown. (See note below.) Unacceptable Based on the offeror żs performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. NOTE: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance IAW FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv); therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of `Acceptable ż / `Unacceptable, ż unknown past performance shall be considered `Acceptable. ż FACTOR 3 ż PRICE Price ż The basis for determining lowest price will be the combined total value of all tasks (all base and option bid items). The combined total of all tasks will also be assessed to determine the overall Price Fair and Reasonable. If any of the tasks appear to be unbalanced, a review of the breakdown of each task will be conducted. Offeror żs prices for each item within the bid schedule shall represent the best price in response to the solicitation. Prices will be evaluated using price analysis IAW FAR 15.404-1(a)(2) and 15.404-1(b). Prices shall be evaluated to determine fairness, reasonableness and if unbalanced pricing exists. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly over or understated. If price analysis techniques indicate that a proposal is unbalanced, the contracting officer shall consider the risks to the Government associated with the unbalanced pricing. An offer may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government (no page limit).
