NOTICE TO QUOTERS: Instructions for submitting quotations under this request for quote must be followed. Failure to provide all information to aid in the evaluation may be considered non-responsive.

Factor 1--TECHNICAL APPROACH. The quotation will be evaluated on how the offeror intends to organize, staff, and manage the contract and the means that will be used to accomplish the contract requirements. The degree to which the quotation demonstrates an understanding of the requirements will be evaluated, as well as the offeror's planned management of consultants and subcontractors, if applicable.
Factor 2--PAST PERFORMANCE. The offeror's past performance on related contracts will be evaluated to determine, as appropriate, successful performance of contract requirements, quality and timeliness of delivery of goods and services, effective management of subcontractors, cost management, level of communication between the contracting parties, proactive management and customer satisfaction.
Offeror shall provide at least one (1) past performance reference. Provide name, address, phone number, and name of the project.
If a quoter has no relevant past performance, the quoter must affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant past performance history. Offerors who fail to either provide past performance information or affirmatively state that they have none may be considered to be non-compliant to the solicitation.
Factor 3 - FIRM-FIXED PRICE. The proposed prices will be evaluated. The price evaluation will determine whether the proposed costs are realistic, complete, and reasonable in relation to the solicitation requirements. Proposed costs must be entirely compatible with the technical approach. Quotes should include best and final pricing for all labor and materials to complete the Statement of Work.

calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is
specified in an addendum to the solicitation.
(c) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.
(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers and any modifications or revisions to
the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the
solicitation.
(2) Any offer, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of
offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and
the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay
the acquisition. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer that
makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is
received and may be accepted.
(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so
that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers
by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements
preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing
date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same
time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal
Government processes resume.
(4) Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at
any time before award.
(d) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate
offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror's initial
offer should contain the Offeror's best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to
conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor
irregularities in offers received.
(e) Debriefings. If a postaward debriefing is given to requesting Offerors, the Government will
disclose the following information, if applicable:
(1) The agency's evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed
