The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: ���� (1) Technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement ���� (2) Past performance ���� (3) Price �� In the integrated assessment, upon which the award assessment will be made, Past Performance is�of more importance than Price when being evaluated. Technical factor will be rated as Acceptable or Unacceptable. �� (b) BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive best value source selection using Best Value�in which competing offerors� past and present performance history will be evaluated�as more important than price. By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in provision FAR 52.212-1 ""Instructions to Offerors"" the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, the model contract, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. All technically acceptable offers will be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows: ���� (1) Technical Acceptability (Step 1) -�Quotes must be rated as technically acceptable to be eligible for award. In order to be deemed technically acceptable, the following evaluation criteria must be met:�Supply copies of current relevant California Department of Pesticide Regulation Pest Control Business Main License; a current copy of the Company's Registration issued by California Structural Pest Control Board; and a current copy of Pest Control Operators License Branch 2 and 3 issued by the California Structural Pest Control Board License to the individual(s) identified as the company�s qualifying manager(s) to meet the requirements of this RFQ as specified in the PWS. An offeror will be deemed Unacceptable if current certifications are not provided as specified herein. ���� (2) Price Evaluation (Step 2) - Next, offerors will be ranked�according to�overall�price. Included as part of the price evaluation is a review for price reasonableness. An offeror's proposed Total�Price will be determined by multiplying the�Quantity by the�Unit Price for each CLIN�(identified in�the Price Volume, pages 3-8 of the�Model Contract/Solicitation) to confirm the�Amount for each CLIN.�The sum of the CLIN totals shall�equal the�contract Total Price.�Offerors whose total evaluated price is unreasonable (in accordance with FAR 15.404 and FAR 31.201-3), unbalanced (in accordance with FAR 15.404-1), or unaffordable (not within any budgetary information included in the solicitation) may be considered unacceptable and may be rejected on that basis. To reiterate for reasonableness the total evaluated price will be evaluated. ���� (3) Past Performance (Step 3) -�The Government will seek recent and relevant performance information on the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror based on (1) the past efforts provided by the�offeror, and (2) data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources in order to determine the offeror�s Past Performance rating, which is comprised of two�criteria: Recency and�Relevancy. Relevant present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. The Government reserves the right to seek information on higher priced offerors if none of the lower priced offerors receive a ""Very Recent and Very Relevant"" Past Performance�rating. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to assess the degree of confidence the Government has in the offeror's ability to supply the services that meet users' needs, based on the offeror's demonstrated record of performance. The assessment process will result in an overall Past Performance rating�of��Not relevant�, �Recent and Relevant�, and �Very Recent and Very relevant� basis based up on receiving references provided within the Past Performance Volume. �� - �Not relevant� - no past performance information provided; past performance�information�received for service contracts of a type deemed not relevant or similar in nature to this solicitation; past performance information�received for service contracts completed more than 3 years ago. �� - �Recent and Relevant� - Past performance�information received for service contracts of a type deemed relevant or similar in nature to this solicitation; such as pest control services at a similarly sized municipal or organizational level or similarly sized United States Military Base; completed within the last three years. �� - �Very Recent and Very Relevant� - Past performance information�received for service contracts for pest control services at similarly sized municipal or organizational level or similarly sized United States Military Base; currently on-going or completed within the last year. �� If the offeror with the lowest proposed price who is evaluated as technically acceptable and is judged to have ""Very Recent and Very Relevant"" past performance�rating is determined to be responsible, that offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. ���If the offeror with the lowest proposed price who is evaluated as technically acceptable is not judged to have a ""Very Recent and Very Relevant"" past performance�rating, the next lowest priced offer will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is judged to have a ""Very Recent and Very Relevant"" past performance�rating or until all offerors are evaluated. If no offerors are deemed to have a rating of ""Very Recent and Very Relevant"" past performance rating, the award shall be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror with a ""Recent and Relevant"" past performance rating.� �� Only one award will be made under this solicitation. Award will be conducted under the provisions of FAR Part 12, Commercial Items, and FAR 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Submit only written offers via e-mail; oral offers will not be accepted. All offerors�must be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM). �� (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer, whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. ��������������������������������������������������������������������������� (End of Addendum) (x) Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items, with its offer, or have a completed copy with their SAM.gov registration.
