EVALUATION CRITERIA The award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal is evaluated as the best value to the Government based on the factors set forth below. The Government reserves the right to evaluate quotes and make award without conducting discussions, but reserves the right to conduct discussions with all offerors and request revised proposals if it is in the best interest of the Government to do so. To be eligible for an award, the contractor must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. A contractor can contact the CCR by calling 1-888-227-2423 or email at http://www.ccr.gov. A DUNS (Dun and Bradstreet) number is required in order to register. All evaluation factors are listed in order of importance. Evaluation Factor 1 - Past Performance The Contractor shall provide a narrative on recent past performance that, at a minimum, addresses the four points listed below. This narrative shall clearly evidence the Contractor's ability based on past performance to perform the requirements in accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW). Contact names and phone numbers shall be included in support of specific performance claims made in this narrative. 1. Quality of Product or Service - The Offeror must clearly evidence the ability to meet all space design requirements in accordance with the SOW. 2. Timeliness of Performance - The Offeror must clearly evidence the ability to meet established schedules or milestones in accordance with the SOW. 3. Cost Control - The Offeror must clearly evidence the ability to complete the space-related requirements within the established cost estimates in accordance with the SOW. 4. Business Relations - The Offeror must clearly evidence the ability to maintain a professional working relationship with government staff, be up front with controversial issues even if they are viewed negatively and maintain a high degree of honesty and integrity. Evaluation Factor 2 - Technical The Contractor shall provide a narrative on the technical performance of this requirement that, at a minimum, addresses the technical aspects of the SOW and the factors listed below: 1. Clear indication that the offeror thoroughly understands space planning and design services that, at a minimum, include problem identification, recordation, resolution, escalation, notification and closeout of issue. 2. Clear indication of, at a minimum, personal qualifications, capabilities, and experience in space planning and design services. Evaluation Factor 3 - Proposed Total Price This price shall be realistic, fair, and reasonable in comparison to same or similar services. This proposal shall be quoted as an hourly rate times the estimated hours worked of 2,000 hours. This hourly estimate does not include 80 hours of Federal holidays that will not be available for work. This is only an estimate and may be reduced by such unforeseen actions as the closure of the Federal government in Washington, DC. All non-price evaluation factors when combined are significantly more important than price; however, as quotes become more equal in their past performance and technical merit, the proposed price may become the determining factor for award. QUOTE SUBMISSION All Proposals shall include a narrative proposal for both past performance and technical factors as stated above. Offers are to provide the requested narrative information in a brief and succinct manner, making every effort to present information clearly and concisely. In addition, a price proposal shall be included with an hourly rate extended by the estimated 2,000 hours worked. All proposals should address the requirements of the project consistent with the SOW included in the solicitation. Lengthy narratives containing extraneous information are discouraged. All information shall be submitted in English. Proposals are due by 4:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, May 28, 2010 via email to Douglas Wolf at doug.wolf@nlrb.gov or by regular mail.
