G. FEDERAL HOLIDAYS: The following Federal Legal Holidays are observed by
Addendum to 52.212-2 - EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (
(a) The government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:
(1) PRICE (2) PAST PERFORMANCE
Past performance will be approximately equal to cost or price.
(b) 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. The government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the government to exercise the option(s).
(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
ADDENDUM
BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive best value source selection in which competing offerors past performance history will be evaluated on a basis approximately equal to price. By submission of its offer with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions To Offerors, the offeror accedes to the terms of this model contract. All acceptable offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined unacceptable. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide competed accompanying rationale.
The evaluation process shall proceed as follows: 1. Price Evaluation. Initially, the government shall rank all offers by price, including any option prices (if applicable). An offeror's proposed price will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in Section B by the proposed unit price for each Contract Line Item Number or Subcontract Line Item Number to confirm the extended amount of each. The price evaluation will document reasonableness of the proposed total evaluated price (TEP). The contractor shall return a completed "Offeror Schedule" [Attachment Two (2)] of the solicitation to aid the contracting activity in the formulation of the total evaluated price (TEP).
NOTE: Extension of services option. The government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic year requirement, as described below:
(1) Estimated total amount of all options specified in the schedule under the authority of contract clause, FAR 52.217-9 "Option to Extend the Term of the Contract" will be added to the basic year requirement.
(2) Evaluation of options to be performed in accordance with this clause will not obligate the government to exercise the option(s).
(3) If exercised, the extension of services option (FAR 52.217-8) will be priced at the prior base or option year performed price with the only adjustment allowed being those changes to the applicable
2. Performance Confidence Assessment. Using questionnaires and other sources, the contracting officer shall seek performance information based on (1) the references provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources. Information will pertain to recent performance in contracts within the last three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Performance Confidence assessment will be based on the contractor's ability to maintain and repair vertical transportation equipment.
3. In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. Higher relevancy will be assessed for contracts that are most similar to the effort, or portion of the effort, for which that contractor is being proposed. The government is not bound by the offeror's opinion of relevancy. The following relevancy definitions apply:
PAST PERFORMANCE RELEVANCY RATINGS Rating Description VERY RELEVANT Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of the effort and complexities this solicitation requires RELEVANT Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of the effort and complexities this solicitation requires SOMEWHAT RELEVANT Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of the effort and complexities this solicitation requires NOT RELEVANT Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of the effort and complexities this solicitation requires
The government reserves the right to seek information on higher priced offerors if none of the lower priced offerors receive a "Substantial Confidence" rating. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the government to assess the offeror's ability to perform the effort described in the solicitation, based on the offeror's demonstrated present and past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Unknown Confidence as defined below. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, sister or subsidiary companies of the same parent company, key personnel who have relevant experience, or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will not be rated as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history or the offeror's performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating "Unknown Confidence"aning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably.
PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENTS Rating Description SUBSTANTIAL CONFIDENCE Based on the offeror's performance record, the government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. SATISFACTORY CONFIDENCE Based on the offeror's performance record, the government has an expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. LIMITED CONFIDENCE Based on the offeror's performance record, the government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.
NO CONFIDENCE Based on the offeror's performance record, the government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. UNKNOWN CONFIDENCE No performance record is identifiable or the offeror's performance record is so sparse that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned
4. In evaluating past performance, the government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation.
5. If the lowest priced evaluated acceptable offer is judged to have a "Substantial Confidence", that offer represents the best value for the government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award may be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.
6. If the lowest price offeror is not judged to have a "Substantial Confidence", the next lowest price offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offer is judged to have Substantial Confidence or until all offerors are evaluated.
7. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the proposal preparation instructions to permit a meaningful assessment of past performance. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the contracting officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revision.
8. The government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. The government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.
9. Offeror Schedule- The offeror shall submit a completed copy of the attached offer schedule.

(End of clause)
52.217-9 OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT (

252.232-7007, Limitation of Government's Obligation (Apr 2014).
(a) Contract line item(s) [Contracting Officer insert after negotiations] is/are incrementally funded. For this/these item(s), the sum of $ [Contracting Officer insert after negotiations] of the total price is presently available for payment and allotted to this contract. An allotment schedule is set forth in paragraph (j) of this clause.
(b) For item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Contractor agrees to perform up to the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including reimbursement in the event of termination of those item(s) for the Government's convenience, approximates the total amount currently allotted to the contract. The Contractor is not authorized to continue work on those item(s) beyond that point. The Government will not be obligated in any event to reimburse the Contractor in excess of the amount allotted to the contract for those item(s) regardless of anything to the contrary in the clause entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government." As used in this clause, the total amount payable by the Government in the event of termination of applicable contract line item(s) for convenience includes costs, profit, and estimated termination settlement costs for those item(s).
(c) Notwithstanding the dates specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (j) of this clause, the Contractor will notify the Contracting Officer in writing at least thirty days prior to the date when, in the Contractor's best judgment, the work will reach the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including any cost for termination for convenience, will approximate 85 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract for performance of the applicable item(s). The notification will state (1) the estimated date when that point will be reached and (2) an estimate of additional funding, if any, needed to continue performance of applicable line items up to the next scheduled date for allotment of funds identified in paragraph (j) of this clause, or to a mutually agreed upon substitute date. The notification will also advise the Contracting Officer of the estimated amount of additional funds that will be required for the timely performance of the item(s) funded pursuant to this clause, for a subsequent period as may be specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (j) of this clause or otherwise agreed to by the parties. If after such notification additional funds are not allotted by the date identified in the Contractor's notification, or by an agreed substitute date, the Contracting Officer will terminate any item(s) for which additional funds have not been allotted, pursuant to the clause of this contract entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government."
(d) When additional funds are allotted for continued performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the parties will agree as to the period of contract performance which will be covered by the funds. The provisions of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this clause will apply in like manner to the additional allotted funds and agreed substitute date, and the contract will be modified accordingly.
(e) If, solely by reason of failure of the Government to allot additional funds, by the dates indicated below, in amounts sufficient for timely performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work under this contract and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment will be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of the item(s), or in the time of delivery, or both. Failure to agree to any such equitable adjustment hereunder will be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the clause entitled "Disputes."
(f) The Government may at any time prior to termination allot additional funds for the performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause.
(g) The termination provisions of this clause do not limit the rights of the Government under the clause entitled "Default." The provisions of this clause are limited to the work and allotment of funds for the contract line item(s) set forth in paragraph (a) of this clause. This clause no longer applies once the contract is fully funded except with regard to the rights or obligations of the parties concerning equitable adjustments negotiated under paragraphs (d) and (e) of this clause.
(h) Nothing in this clause affects the right of the Government to terminate this contract pursuant to the clause of this contract entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government."
(i) Nothing in this clause shall be construed as authorization of voluntary services whose acceptance is otherwise prohibited under 31 U.S.C. 1342.
(j) The parties contemplate that the Government will allot funds to this contract in accordance with the following schedule:
On execution of contract $ ________ (month) (day), (year) $ ________ (month) (day), (year) $ ________ (month) (day), (year) $ ________ (End of clause)
5352.201-9101, OMBUDSMAN (
(a) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition.

The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes.
