BASIS FOR AWARD: This procurement is being solicited, offered, evaluated, and awarded using simplified acquisition procedures. The OCC will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible hotel (FAR Subpart 9.104) whose quote will be the most advantageous to the OCC using the following factors, listed in descending order of importance: 1. Suitability encompasses the factors that contribute to the overall success of the conference and to the conference attendee's convenience, comfort and safety at the hotel. Evaluation of suitability will be a subjective assessment of the features and services offered by the hotel and of other relevant facts and circumstances that are obtained by OCC from any source. The suitability assessment will focus on, but not be limited to, the location of the hotel, the condition of the hotel facility (new, old, remodeled); condition of the guest rooms (designated non-smoking rooms; soft goods clean and in good condition, etc.); condition of the meeting rooms (size and shape, obstructions such as pillars, soundproofing, security, proximity of rooms to each other, etc.); hotel services; availability of on-premise outlets, such as restaurants, convenience store and fitness facility; proximity of the Metro to the hotel. The OCC may base its rating solely on the information provided in the quote or, at OCC's option, also on the findings gathered during a SITE VISIT. 2. Past performance is considered to be the hotel?s relevant work history and the OCC's assessment, with respect to such work history, of how well the hotel performed. Especially relevant are a hotel's record of conforming to contract requirements; a hotel's commitment to customer satisfaction; and, generally, a hotel's reputation for demonstrating a business-like concern for the interests of its customers. Evaluation of past performance will be a subjective assessment based on OCC's experience, if any, with the hotel; the experience of references submitted by the hotel; and a consideration of other relevant facts and circumstances that are obtained by OCC from any source. It will not be based on absolute standards of acceptable performance. 3. Price. Price is the total evaluated cost of a quote. OCC will base total evaluated cost on the prices quoted for guest rooms, meeting rooms, food and beverages, and audio visual equipment. OCC will not consider prices that are contingent, unreasonable or unbalanced. OCC will use total evaluated cost as part of its best value analysis. OCC anticipates awarding the contract in late April/early May 2007. *****
