S -- TRASH REMOVAL SERVICES IN VARIOUS LOS SOL GS-090P-97-KSC-0027 DUE 042297 POC Contracting Specialist, Patrick G. Jones, (415) 522-3345. DESCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. SCOPE OF WORK -- The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and transportation to remove refuse and waste material from designated places of accumulation and collections at the premises listed as follows: the Federal Service Center, 5600 Rickenbacker Road, Bell, CA; Federal Building and US Post Office, 11000 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA; FBI Building, 1260 S. Sepulveda, Los Angeles, CA; Federal Building, 300 North Los Angeles AND Edward R. Roybal Federal Center, 255 E. Temple Street, Los Angeles, CA; U.S. Courthouse, 312 North Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA; Federal Blvd., 1340 West Sixth Street, Los Angeles, CA. Removal of refuse shall be carried out in manner such that there will be no interruption to or interference with the proper execution of Government business. FAR REQUIREMENT: FAR 52-212-1 is applicable, FAR 52-212-2 EVALUATION -- COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT. 1995)(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (i) Past Performance -- Offerors shall submit a list of at least three similar contracts completed during the past three years and all contracts currently in process. Each offeror will be evaluated on his/her performance under existing and prior contracts for similar services. The Government will focus on information that demonstrates quality of performance relative to the size and complexity of the procurement under consideration. References other than those identified by the offeror may be contacted by the Government with the information received used in the evaluation of the offer's past performance. (ii) Price. Past performance is roughly more important than price. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except communications conducted for the purpose of minor clarification). Therefore each initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. (b) 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. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (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 (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
