Evaluation Factors 2.1. Evaluation Factors Used To Evaluate. Award will be made to the offeror quoting the combination most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors described below: Factor 1: Technical Factor 2: Price 2.1.1. Evaluation Methodology. The Government will evaluate all factors concurrently for all quotes. Only those offerors determined to be technically acceptable will be considered for award. Award will be made to the lowest evaluated priced quote meeting the acceptability standards for Factor 1, who has been determined responsible and whose quote conforms to the solicitation requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this solicitation). 2.2. Factor 1 - Technical The technical factor will receive one of the ratings described below based on the criteria listed below. The technical ratings are defined as follows: Rating Description Acceptable Quote meets the requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable Quote does not meet the requirements of the solicitation. The Technical Factor is met when the Offeror provides a capabilities statement and presents a sound approach for providing local telecommunication services required in the PWS to include site-specific (Appendix 1), installation, and cutover requirements (PWS para 4.3.1). Factor 2 - Price Price Reasonableness, Balance and Price Realism. The Government will rank all offers by Total Evaluated Price (TEP), including all option prices. Reasonableness must represent a price to the Government a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. Normally, price reasonableness is based on competitive quotations or offers, but may also be based on techniques described Contract Pricing Reference Guide-Volume 1. Unreasonable or unrealistic proposed prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition on the basis that the Offeror does not understand the requirement. Additionally, unbalanced pricing may pose an unacceptable risk to the Government and may render an Offeror's proposal ineligible for award. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their price reasonableness, balance, and price realism. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed prices rests with the Offeror. Total Evaluated Price (TEP). Pricing quotes will be reviewed for compliance with FAR 52.212-1 Addendum pricing instructions. Table1 below will demonstrate the TEP calculation methodology. Proposed pricing evaluated as the TEP is required IAW with the following format: PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE PRICE TOTAL PRICE FOR BASE PERIOD TOTAL PRICE FOR OPTION YEAR (OY) 1 TOTAL PRICE FOR OY 2 TOTAL PRICE FOR OY 3 TOTAL PRICE FOR OY 4 TOTAL PRICE FOR 6 MONTH EXTENSION TEP = (BASE + 4 OYS + 6 MONTH EXT) The TEP will be calculated as the sum of the offeror's proposed prices for 12-month Base Period (to include cut-over), four one-year Option Periods, and an optional six-month Extension Period IAW FAR 52.217-8 "Option to Extend the Term of the Contract." The six-month Extension Period unit prices will be based on the proposed OY 4-unit prices. The six-month Extension Period under FAR 52.217-8 will only be utilized if necessary. TEP will be used for evaluation purposes only. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise such options. The six-month Extension Period is not to be considered part of OY 4 and will be a separate option exercise if it is utilized. This requirement is set-aside for TOTAL SMALL BUSINESS. The NAICS code is 562111 and the small business size standard is $47 million. ATTACHMENTS: ATTACHMETN 1 - STATEMENT OF WORK ATTACHMENT 2 - WAGE DETERMINATION ATTACHMENT 3- SF 1449
