SLSDC intends to award a Time and Materials, not to exceed contract for this solicitation. All travel and meals shall be reimbursed per the requirements of the Government Travel Regulations. The SLSDC 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 from a cost and technical perspective.� However, the SLSDC reserves the right to conduct discussions with offerors if deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer. *EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS The SLSDC will make award to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the requirements and on the weighted evaluation factors listed below: �� Technical Proposals (50%): The Technical Proposals shall demonstrate the Consultant�s understanding of the Scope of Work and shall meet the objectives and address the requirements specified under the Technical Proposal Requirements above. �� Past Performance (25%): The Consultant and subcontractor(s) shall have completed at least two (2) projects of similar scope and complexity within the past ten (10) years.� References shall be provided. Each reference shall include the name and address of the client, a brief but detailed description of the work performed and a contact person with valid contact information (phone number and email).� �� Price (25%): Pricing as specified under the Cost Proposal Requirements above. *CONTRACT AWARD (1) The SLSDC intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal(s) represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors in the solicitation. (2) The SLSDC may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the SLSDC�s interest. (3) The SLSDC may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals received. (4) The SLSDC intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror�s initial proposal should contain the offeror�s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The SLSDC reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. (5) Exchanges with offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counteroffer by the SLSDC. (6) The SLSDC may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the SLSDC. (7) A written award or acceptance of proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified in the proposal shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. A contract will be awarded only if the price is within available funding appropriations and relates to the SLSDC�s concept of the project. *SITE VISITS Site visits will be held on August 4, 2020 and August 13, 2020 both at 1:00 PM local time.
