The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:B
Price - Vendor will complete the Price Schedule (attached) with proposed contract line item prices inserted in appropriate spaces.B
a. In order to evaluate the mark up on parts (CLINs 0004, 1004, 2004, 3004 and 4004), the Government will evaluate quotes by multiplying the mark up % submitted by the vendor in the price schedule by $5,000.00 to get a total line item amount. For example, if the vendor submits a markup of 20%, the total evaluated price for CLINS 0004, 1004, 2004, 3004 and 4004 will be $6,000.00 each ($5,000.00 *1.20). The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total revised price for CLINs 0004, 1004, 2004, 3004 and 4004 to the total quote amount. This is for evaluating quotes ONLY.
Past Performance: Provide (3) references of work, similar in scope and size with the requirement detailed in the Performance Work Statement. References must include contact information; brief description of the work completed, and contract # (if relevant).B Please utilize Attachment Past Performance Worksheet for your references and please submit as part of your quote submission. References may be checked by the Contracting Officer to ensure your company is capable of performing the Performance Work Statement.B The Government also reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources to include PPIRS.

a. The vendor shall demonstrate that it is
OHSA Trained Employees in electrical safety
Employees Trained to NFPA 70E
NETA certified Company
b. The vendor shall demonstrate that it is factory trained on the Russelectric equipment to be tested and have a minimum of 20 years of experience, as many of the VA sites have older gear operating on site in excess of 15 years.
c. The vendor shall provide a Certification of Thermographer Level 2 or greater for the engineer/Technician.
d. Provide example of inspection and imaging report meeting stated objectives in the Performance Work Statement.
Veterans Preference Factor (per 852.215-70): The Government will assign evaluation credit for an Offeror (prime contractor) which is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVOSB) or a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB). Non-SDVOSB/VOSB Offerors proposing to use SDVOSBs or VOSBs as subcontractors will receive some consideration under this evaluation Factor.B
For SDVOSBS/VOSBs: In order to receive credit under this Factor, an Offeror shall submit a statement of compliance that it qualifies as a SDVOSB or VOSB in accordance with VAAR 852.215-70, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned and Veteran-Owned Small Business Evaluation Factors . Offerors are cautioned that they must be registered and verified in Vendor Information Pages (VIP) database (http://www.VetBiz.gov).
Verified SDVOSBs will receive a 3% price credit (e.g. if a SDVOSB submits an offer of $100.00, it will be evaluated as if it submitted an offer of $97.00).
Verified VOSBs will received a 2% price credit (e.g. if a VOSB submits an offer of $100.00, it will be evaluated as if it submitted an offer of $98.00).
For Non-SDVOSBs/VOSBs: To receive some consideration under this Factor, anB Offeror must state in its proposal the names of SDVOSB(s) and/or VOSB(s) with whom it intends to subcontract, and provide a brief description and the approximate dollar values of the proposed subcontracts. Additionally, proposed SDVOSB/VOSB Subcontractors must be registered and verified in VIP database (http://www.VetBiz.gov) in order to receive some consideration under the Veteran s Involvement Factor.
If a vendor submits a subcontracting plan where it will be using a SDVOSB, it will receive a 1.5% price credit (e.g. if this vendor submits an offer of $100.00, it will be evaluated as if it submitted an offer of $98.50).
If a vendor submits a subcontracting plan where it will be using a VOSB, it will receive a 1% price credit (e.g. if this vendor submits an offer of $100.00, it will be evaluated as if it submitted an offer of $99.00).
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. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). The Government will evaluate prices for the option under FAR 52.217-8B by using the last year s option prices to calculate the price for six months of effort, and adding that amount to the base and other option years to arrive at the total.
A written notice of award, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quote s specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
