problems identified. The Government will prepare written minutes of the
meeting. The Contractor, Contracting Officer, and the COTR will sign
minutes of the meeting(s).

has caused the Contractor to perform in an unsatisfactory manner, the
COTR will forward a written notice to the responsible organizational
element requesting corrective action be taken.

\(c\) When the Contractor is not meeting the limits of satisfactory
performance, a CDR will be issued to the Contractor. The seriousness of

deduct from the periodic payment, a percentage of that payment as
indicated in the Performance of Work Requirements Summary as attached
hereto.

\(e\) If the Contractor does not achieve satisfactory performance by the

issued and the appropriate amount deducted from the periodic payment.

\(f\) A third CDR will be the cause for a Cure Notice. However, the
Contracting Officer may issue a Cure Notice at any time he/she deems
appropriate. Depending on the overall performance of the Contractor, an
unsatisfactory reply to the Cure Notice should require a Show Cause
letter to be issued, followed by consideration of termination of the
contract.

Requirements clause at subsection 52.216-21 of the Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR)), the Government is not required to order a part

of any one requirement from the Contractor if that requirement exceeds
the maximum-order limitations in paragraph (b) of this section.

\(d\) Notwithstanding paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, the
Contractor shall honor any order exceeding the maximum order limitations
in paragraph (b), unless that order (or orders) is returned to the
ordering office within 7days after issuance, with written notice stating
the Contractor\'s intent not to ship the item (or items) called for and
the reasons. Upon receiving this notice, the Government may acquire the
supplies or services from another source. (End of Clause)

**B.1.1.4 52.216-21 Requirements. (Oct 1995)**

\(a\) This is a requirements contract for the supplies or services
specified, and effective for the period stated, in the Schedule. The
quantities of supplies or services specified in the Schedule are
estimates only and are not purchased by this contract. Except as this
contract may otherwise provide, if the Government\'s requirements do not
result in orders in the quantities described as \"estimated\'\' or
\"maximum\" in the Schedule, that fact shall not constitute the basis
for an equitable price adjustment.

\(b\) Delivery or performance shall be made only as authorized by orders
issued in accordance with the Ordering clause. Subject to any
limitations in the Order Limitations clause or elsewhere in this
contract, the Contractor shall furnish to the Government all supplies or
services specified in the Schedule and called for by orders issued in
accordance with the Ordering clause. The Government may issue orders
requiring delivery to multiple destinations or performance at multiple
locations.

\(c\) Except as this contract otherwise provides, the Government shall
order from the Contractor all the supplies or services specified in the
Schedule that are required to be purchased by the Government activity or
activities specified in the Schedule.

SECTION B - CONTRACT CLAUSES

\(d\) The Government is not required to purchase from the Contractor
requirements in excess of any limit on total orders under this contract.

\(e\) If the Government urgently requires delivery of any quantity of an
item before the earliest date that delivery may be specified under this
contract, and if the Contractor will not accept an order providing for
the accelerated delivery, the Government may acquire the urgently
required goods or services from another source.

\(f\) Any order issued during the effective period of this contract and
not completed within that period shall be completed by the Contractor
within the time specified in the order. The contract shall govern the
Contractor\'s and Government\'s rights and obligations with respect to
that order to the same extent as if the order were completed during the
contract\'s effective period; provided, that the Contractor shall not be
required to make any deliveries under this contract after **September
30, 2005**. (End of Clause)

**B.1.1.5 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services. (NOV 1999)**

The Government may require continued performance of any services within
the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. These rates may
be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates
provided by the Secretary of Labor. The option provision may be
exercised more than once, but the total extension of performance
hereunder shall not exceed 6 months. The Contracting Officer may
exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor within 30
calendar days of the expiration date of the contract. (End of Clause)

**B.1.1.6 52.217-9 Option to Extend the Term of the Contract. (Mar
2000)**

\(a\) The Government may extend the term of this contract by written
notice to the Contractor within 30 calendar days before contract
expires; provided that the Government gives the Contractor a preliminary
written notice of its intent to extend at least 60 days before the
contract expires. The preliminary notice does not commit the Government
to an extension.

\(b\) If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract
shall be considered to include this option clause.

\(c\) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any
options under this clause, shall not exceed 66 months. (End of Clause)

**B.1.1.7 52.223-3 HAZARDOUS MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION AND MATERIAL SAFETY
DATA (JAN 1997) Alternate I (JULY 1995)**

\(a\) \"Hazardous material,\" as used in this clause, includes any
material defined as hazardous under the latest version of Federal
Standard No. 313 (including revisions adopted during the term of the
contract).

\(b\) The offeror must list any hazardous material, as defined in
paragraph (a) of this clause, to be delivered under this contract. The
hazardous material shall be properly identified and include any
applicable identification number, such as National Stock Number or
Special Item Number. This information shall also be included on the
Material Safety Data Sheet submitted under this contract.

SECTION B - CONTRACT CLAUSES

(If none, insert \"None\") \...\...\...\.....Identification No.

\(c\) This list must be updated during performance of the contract
whenever the Contractor determines that any other material to be
delivered under this contract is hazardous.

\(d\) The apparently successful offeror agrees to submit, for each item
as required prior to award, a Material Safety Data Sheet, meeting the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.1200(g) and the latest version of Federal
Standard No. 313, for all hazardous material identified in paragraph (b)
of this clause. Data shall be submitted in accordance with Federal
Standard No. 313, whether or not the apparently successful offeror is
the actual manufacturer of these items. Failure to submit the Material
Safety Data Sheet prior to award may result in the apparently successful
offeror being considered nonresponsible and ineligible for award.

\(e\) If, after award, there is a change in the composition of the
item(s) or a revision to Federal Standard No. 313, which renders
incomplete or inaccurate the data submitted under paragraph (d) of this
clause, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer and
resubmit the data.

\(f\) Neither the requirements of this clause nor any act or failure to
act by the Government shall relieve the Contractor of any responsibility
or liability for the safety of Government, Contractor, or subcontractor
personnel or property.

\(g\) Nothing contained in this clause shall relieve the Contractor from
complying with applicable Federal, State, and local laws, codes,
ordinances, and regulations (including the obtaining of licenses and
permits) in connection with hazardous material.

\(h\) The Government\'s rights in data furnished under this contract
with respect to hazardous material are as follows:

\(1\) To use, duplicate and disclose any data to which this clause is
applicable. The purposes of this right are to-

> \(i\) Apprise personnel of the hazards to which they may be exposed in
> using, handling,
>
> packaging, transporting, or disposing of hazardous materials;

\(ii\) Obtain medical treatment for those affected by the material; and

\(iii\) Have others use, duplicate, and disclose the data for the
Government for these purposes.

SECTION B - CONTRACT CLAUSES

\(2\) To use, duplicate, and disclose data furnished under this clause,
in accordance with paragraph (h)(1) of this clause, in precedence over
any other clause of this contract providing for rights in data.

\(3\) The Government is not precluded from using similar or identical
data acquired from other sources.

\(i\) Except as provided in paragraph (i)(2), the Contractor shall
prepare and submit a sufficient number of Material Safety Data Sheets
(MSDS\'s), meeting the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.1200(g) and the
latest version of Federal Standard No. 313, for all hazardous materials
identified in paragraph (b) of this clause.

\(1\) For items shipped to consignees, the Contractor shall include a
copy of the MSDS\'s with the packing list or other suitable shipping
document which accompanies each shipment. Alternatively, the Contractor
is permitted to transmit MSDS\'s to consignees in advance of receipt of
shipments by consignees, if authorized in writing by the Contracting
Officer.

\(2\) For items shipped to consignees identified by mailing address as
agency depots, distribution centers or customer supply centers, the
Contractor shall provide one copy of the MSDS\'s in or on each shipping
container. If affixed to the outside of each container, the MSDS\'s must
be placed in a weather resistant envelope. (End of Clause)

**B.1.1.8 52.228-5 INSURANCE - WORK ON A GOVERNMENT INSTALLATION (JAN
1997)**

\(a\) The Contractor shall, at its own expense, provide and maintain
during the entire performance of this contract, at least the kinds and
minimum amounts of insurance required in the Schedule or elsewhere in
the contract.

\(b\) Before commencing work under this contract, the Contractor shall
notify the Contracting Officer in writing that the required insurance
has been obtained. The policies evidencing required insurance shall
contain an endorsement to the effect that any cancellation or any
material change adversely affecting the Government\'s interest shall not
be effective \--

\(1\) For such period as the laws of the State in which this contract is
to be performed prescribe; or

\(2\) Until 30 days after the insurer or the Contractor gives written
notice to the Contracting Officer, whichever period is longer.

\(c\) The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause,
including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract that
require work on a Government installation and shall require
subcontractors to provide and maintain the insurance required in the
Schedule or elsewhere in the contract. The Contractor shall maintain a
copy of all subcontractors\' proofs of required insurance, and shall
make copies available to the Contracting Officer upon request.

**SUPPLEMENTAL INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS: In accordance with FAR 28.307-2
and the previous clause, the following minimum coverage shall apply to
this contract:**

(a) Workers\' compensation and employers liability: Contractors are
    required to comply with applicable Federal and State workers\'
    compensation and occupational disease statutes. If occupational
    diseases are

SECTION B - CONTRACT CLAUSES

\(b\) not compensable under those statutes, they shall be covered under
the employer\'s liability section of the insurance policy, except when
contract operations are so commingled with a Contractor\'s commercial

operations that it would not be practical to require this coverage.
Employer\'s liability coverage of at least \$100,000 is required, except
in States with exclusive or monopolistic funds that do not permit
workers\' compensation to be written by private carriers.

\(b\) General Liability: \$500,000 per occurrences.

\(c\) Automobile liability: \$250,000 per person; \$500,000 per
occurrence and \$100,000 property damage.

\(d\) The successful bidder must present to the Contracting Officer,
prior to award, evidence of general liability insurance without any
exclusionary clauses for asbestos that would void the general liability
coverage. (End of Clause)

**B.1.1.9 52.232-18 Availability of Funds (Apr 1984)**

Funds are not presently available for this contract. The Government\'s
obligation under this contract is contingent upon the availability of
appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made.
No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may
arise until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for this
contract and until the Contractor receives notice of such availability,
to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer. (End of Clause)

**B.1.1.10 52.232-19 Availability of Funds for the Next Fiscal Year (Apr
1984)**

Funds are not presently available for performance under this contract
beyond **September 30 of each fiscal year**. The Government\'s
obligation for performance of this contract beyond that date is
contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which
payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the
part of the Government for any payment may arise for performance under
this contract beyond **September 30^th^ of each fiscal year**, until
funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for performance and
until the Contractor receives notice of availability, to be confirmed in
writing by the Contracting Officer. (End of Clause)

**B.1.1.11 52.237-2 PROTECTION OF GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS, EQUIPMENT, AND
VEGETATION (APR 1984)**

The Contractor shall use reasonable care to avoid damaging existing
buildings, equipment, and vegetation on the Government installation. If
the Contractor\'s failure to use reasonable care causes damage to any of
this property, the Contractor shall replace or repair the damage at no
expense to the Government as the Contracting Officer directs. If the
Contractor fails or refuses to make such repair or replacement, the
Contractor shall be liable for the cost, which may be deducted from the
contract price.

(End of Clause)

**B.1.1.12 852.216-70 Estimated quantities for requirements contracts
(APR 1984)**

SECTION B - CONTRACT CLAUSES

As it is impossible to determine the exact quantities that will be
required during the contract term, each bidder whose bid is accepted
wholly or in part will be required to deliver all articles or services
that may be ordered during the contract term, except as he/she otherwise
indicates in his/her bid and except as otherwise provided herein. Bids
will be considered if made with the proviso that the total quantities
delivered shall not exceed a certain specified quantity. Bids offering
less than 75 percent of the estimated requirement or which provide that
the Government shall guarantee any definite quantity, will not be
considered. The fact that quantities are estimated shall not relieve the
contractor from filling all orders placed under this contract to the
extent of his/her obligation. Also, the Department of Veterans Affairs
shall not be relieved of its obligation to order from the contractor all
articles or services that may, in the judgment of the ordering officer,
be needed except that in the public exigency procurement may be made
without regard to this contract. (End of Clause)

**B.1.1.13 852.270-1 Representatives of contracting officers (APR
1984)**

 

The Contracting Officer reserves the right to designate representatives
to act for him/her in furnishing technical guidance and advice or
generally supervise the work to be performed under this contract. Such
designation will be in writing and will define the scope and limitation
of the designee\'s authority. A copy of the designation shall be
furnished the Contractor. (End of Clause)

**B.1.1.14 852.270-4 Commercial Advertising (NOV 1984)**

 

The bidder or offeror agrees that if a contract is awarded to him/her,
as a result of this solicitation, he/she will not advertise the award of
the contract in his/her commercial advertising in such a manner as to
state or imply that the Department of Veterans Affairs endorses a
product, project or commercial line of endeavor. (End of clause)

with the

following standards as compliance:

The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees
with an

adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for
the actual

cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and
maintenance is made

subject to

this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective
bargaining

agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of

The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee
which is

not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e.,
the work to

be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage

determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a
reasonable

relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such
unlisted

classifications and the classifications listed in the wage
determination. Such

conformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and
furnished the

fringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be
initiated by

the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such
unlisted class(es)

of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe
benefits shall

be retroactive to the commencement date of the contract. {See Section
4.6 (C)(vi)}

When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate
SF 1444

should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is
to be

conformed.

The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:

1\) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a
conformed

occupation) and computes a proposed rate).

2\) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report
listing in order

proposed classification title), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for
each

proposed classification), job description), and rationale for proposed
wage

rate), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of
the

authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is
no authorized

representative, the employees themselves. This report should be
submitted to the

contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es)
of employees

performs any contract work.

3\) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly

Any/all work done in this section is subject to the General Requirements
that form a part of these specifications, and the Contractor shall be
responsible for and governed by all the requirements there under.

2\. [SCOPE]{.underline}

Work consists of excavation, backfilling and preparing for interments
specified by the Contracting Officer Technical Representative (COTR).
There will be approximately 10 casketed and 10 cremation interments per
year. The COTR or representative will notify the Contractor 24 hours in
advance of gravesite to be opened. Normally interments will be
accomplished Monday through Friday during the hours of 10:00 a.m. to
3:00 p.m. However, there may be instances where the Contractor will be
required to perform interments on weekends and/or holidays and outside
the regular hours.

3\. [PROCEDURE]{.underline}

A.  All gravesites excavations, casket or cremains, will be completed
    within a [minimum of one hour prior to the interment
    service]{.underline}. A polyliner (furnished by the government) will
    be used if the family does not purchase a private vault. If a vault
    is purchased, the gravesite excavation will be completed to allow
    the vault to be pre-set in the grave one hour and fifteen minutes
    prior to the service. All gravesites will be [ready for viewing by
    the next of kin within one and one-half hours after the interment
    service]{.underline}.

B .It shall be the COTR\'s responsibility to notify the Contractor of
any underground utilities in the vicinity of gravesite excavation.

advise the Contractor of the required depth, and position prior to any
excavation operation. [Contractor should probe all full interments prior
to excavation to assure adequate depth for 2nd interment. COTR should be
notified immediately of insufficient depth to accomplish
interment.]{.underline}

D . When a grave is opened to receive a second interment and is found to
be of insufficient depth to permit interment, due to a vault not being
deep enough, the remains of the first interments shall be removed and
the grave excavated to a depth to accommodate both interments.
Arrangement and payment for disinterment of the vault of the first
decedent is the COTR's responsibility

J. If the excavation is five feet deep or deeper, a worker is prohibited
from entering into the hole until the sides of the grave are shored in a
safe manner in accordance with OSHA standards.

K.  If the grave has an existing headstone, it shall be removed and
    carefully placed in an area near the gravesite and covered with
    proper protection. The headstone will be replaced after the grave is
    backfilled. A temporary marker for the second interment will be
    centered directly in front of existing headstone. Surrounding
    headstone that are removed when performing the excavation shall be
    replaced back on the appropriate gravesite, clean and free of
    damage. Any headstones soiled during the backfilling will be cleaned
    prior to departing for the day. Any damage to headstones and/or
    turf, including the gravesite turf, during these burial procedures
    are the responsibility of the contractor and any repair or
    replacement costs shall be borne by the contractor.

exceptions must be authorized by COTR.

4\. DIAGRAM \"D\" The conditions shown in \"D\" will occur only rarely,
and usually when the minor dependents predecease their parents or in
extremely rare cases when an accident takes the lives of a family group.

5\. DIAGRAM \"E\" When the remains are in a small casket, they will be
placed in the lower corner of the gravesite, at a depth of 5 feet,
permitting room for an additional like burial at the head of the first
at a depth of 7 feet and the second at five feet.

6\. When it is necessary to make side-by-side burials in a single
gravesite, extreme care will be exercised to accurately locate the
sideline of the site. Where a burial vault is used in such cases, it may
be necessary to encroach several inches on adjacent site(s). This is
permissible provided the site encroached upon has been or will be
utilized as shown in \"A\" or \"B\".

7\. Unusual conditions may require occasional deviations from the
methods indicated. For cases not covered herein, the Contractor will
consult with the COTR for advice on determination of action to be taken.

**SECTION D -- SOLICITATION PROVISIOINS**

## 

## D.1 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS-COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 2004)

\(a\) *North American Industry Classification System* (NAICS) code and
small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size
standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation
cover sheet (SF 1449). However, the small business size standard for a
concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to
furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

\(b\) *Submission of offers*. Submit signed and dated offers to the
office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time
specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449,
letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As
a minimum, offers must show-

\(1\) The solicitation number;

\(2\) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

\(3\) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

\(4\) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient
detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation.
This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

\(5\) Terms of any express warranty;

\(6\) Price and any discount terms;

\(7\) \"Remit to\" address, if different than mailing address;

\(8\) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR
52.212-3;

\(9\) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

\(10\) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation
factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar
items and other references (including contract numbers, points of
contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

\(11\) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement
specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and
provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish
required representations or information, or reject the terms and
conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

\(c\) *Period for acceptance of offers*. The offeror agrees to hold the
prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified
for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an
addendum to the solicitation.

\(d\) *Product samples*. When required by the solicitation, product
samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt
of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these
samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned
at the sender\'s request and expense, unless they are destroyed during
preaward testing.

**SECTION D -- SOLICITATION PROVISIOINS**

\(e\) *Multiple offers*. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple
offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items
for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer
submitted will be evaluated separately.

\(f\) *Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of
offers.*

\(1\) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any
modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government
office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the
solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for
receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office
on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer
received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after
the exact time specified for receipt of offers is \"late\" and will not
be considered unless it is received before award is made, the
Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not
unduly delay the acquisition; and-

\(A\) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method
authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of
entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one
working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

\(B\) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at
the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was
under the Government\'s control prior to the time set for receipt of
offers; or

\(C\) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only
proposal received.

\(ii\) 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.

\(3\) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the
Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that
installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt
maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of
Government personnel.

\(4\) 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.

\(5\) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time
before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response
to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation
authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile
received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers,
subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning
facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or
its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt
of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is
established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

**SECTION D -- SOLICITATION PROVISIOINS**

\(g\) *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 from a price and technical
standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct
discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be
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.

\(h\) *Multiple awards*. The Government may accept any item or group of
items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific

\(a\) 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\. **TECHNICAL FACTOR**: The sub-factors are listed in descending order
of importance. Sub-factor 1 is slightly more important than Sub-factor
2, and so forth.

> A. **Sub-Factor 1 - Contractor's Understanding of Wilmington National
> Cemetery goals**: The evaluation will consider how clearly the
> Contractor understands the procedures for the services called for, and
> the method used based on his step-by-step description of the work flow
> process he will use to execute each incident of work starting with
> Government notification of the requirement and ending with the final
> acceptance by the Government. The evaluation will consider the
> Contractor's ability to perform the minimum order level of the
> contract.

B. **Sub-Factor 2 -** **Performance Work Plan**: The evaluation will
consider whether the

Contractor has the required experience performing the types of services
required by the statement of

work. The evaluation will consider how clearly the organizational chart
or other method presents the

organization's structure; delineates the responsibilities and lines of
supervision and

**SECTION D -- SOLICITATION PROVISIOINS**

communication; identifies the position/personnel responsible for
supervision, control of performance

of various tasks under the contract, including the Contractor's main
points of contact with the

Government; and whether the proposed organization covers all the
critical functions of work showing

responsibilities at each point and as a whole organization that will
ensure performance of quality work

in a timely efficient manner.

> C. **Sub-Factor 3 -** **Contractor's Personnel Qualifications**:
> Include in this section relevant

information that shall demonstrate the technical and/or managerial
qualifications of key personnel you

propose to use in accomplishing work called for under the contract.
Demonstrated qualifications and

experience for each individual should be included in the technical
proposal in the form of a resume or

biographical data, not to exceed two pages in length for each of the
individuals identified. Key

personnel are construed to include those individuals who will directly
manage, supervise or oversee

on-site contract performance, or who will provide technical advice and
guidance to Contractor

personnel, or who will serve as a liaison between your firm and cemetery
staff, including the COTR.

Identify alternate key personnel as backup for key personnel. Identify
other personnel as to their

positions (e.g. tractor operator, lawn mower operator, trimmer operator,
tree maintenance, laborer,

etc.), and any (special licenses, permits, certifications, education,
experience, etc.) along with the

number of these personnel that will be utilized for complete contract
performance.

######### 

> D. **Sub-Factor 4 - Past Performance**: Past performance information
> will be obtained from references provided by the offeror and from
> other sources known to the Government or learned during the course of
> the evaluation. An offeror who has no relevant past performance
> history for a particular Second Tier Sub-Factor will be given a
> neutral rating for that second tier sub-factor. Each offeror will be
> evaluated on his performance under existing and prior contracts for
> same and similar services. Performance information will be used for
> both responsibility determinations and as an evaluation factor against
> which offeror's relative ranking will be compared to assure best value
> to the Government. The Government will focus on information that
> demonstrates quality of performance relative to the size and
> complexity of the procurement under consideration. References other
> than those identified by the offeror may be contacted by the
> Government. The information obtained may be used in evaluation of the
> offeror's past performance. Second Tier Sub-Factors 1, 2 and 3 are of
> comparatively equal importance.
>
> \(i\) Second Tier Sub-Factor 1 - Quality of Work Performance: Past
> performance information will be evaluated for offeror's record of
> conforming to SOWs and providing quality service.
>
> \(ii\) Second Tier Sub-Factor 2 - Timeliness of Performance: Past
> performance information will be evaluated for the offeror's ability to
> meet contractual performance schedules.
>
> \(iii\) Second Tier Sub-Factor 3 - Customer Satisfaction: Past
> performance information will be evaluated for the degree of
> satisfaction among the offeror's customers.

E. **Sub-Factor 5 - Equipment Readiness**: Offeror is to provide a
thorough list of equipment, vehicles, and materials that it proposes to
use under the contract. Equipment type, methodology and proposed man
hours should be addressed for work to be performed with explanation on
how the proposed method selected is more beneficial to the Government.

**SECTION D -- SOLICITATION PROVISIOINS**

F. **Sub-Factor 6 - Quality Control Plan**: The evaluation will consider
the effectiveness of the

Quality Control Inspection System, as detailed in the Quality Control
Plan, to detect, remedy,

document and deter recurrences of discrepant performance or materials.
It will consider whether the

lines of supervision and levels of authority are adequate to allow key
personnel at the operational

level to take all corrective actions necessary to ensure quality of work
by both Contractor and

subcontractor employees. The evaluation will consider the extent to
which the Contractor ensures

work will proceed within the established time frames for each service
called for, and whether

documentation and information feedback to the CO, or authorized
representative, for all inspections

and evaluations conducted and remedial action(s) taken are sufficient to
assess Contractor

performance.

G.  **Sub-Factor 7 - Socio-Economic Status**: The evaluation will give
    additional consideration and

> points to Contractors of small disadvantaged business status, and
> small service-disabled veteran owned business status. A completed copy
> of the Representations and Certifications contained in Section D of
> the solicitation at FAR 52.212-3 must be included with the quotation
> to receive this consideration. As authorized under FAR 1.201-2, in
> attaining public policy goals adopted by Congress and the President,
> an additional consideration of one (1) point will be given to
> certified Small Disadvantaged Business Concerns, and one (1) point for
> Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business Concerns.

2\. **PRICE FACTOR**: This factor will consider the reasonableness of
prices using price analysis techniques. The evaluation will consider
price reasonableness based on competitiveness of price offers received
in response to this solicitation and historical pricing data on similar
contracts. The combination of all technical sub-factors are equally
important as price. Include the following as part of the price proposal:

A.  Completed Standard Form 1449, Solicitation/Contract/Order for
    Commercial Items (Page 1 of the

> solicitation), which will include Blocks 12, 17A, 17b, 30a, 30b and
> 30c;

B.  Prices as requested on Solicitation pages 6 through 10 (Section A of
    the Solicitation), with the

> knowledge that the prices offered to the Government would be the best
> prices available. Each Contractor is encouraged to give their best
> discounted prices, or give quantity discounts to be as cost
> competitive as possible.

\(b\) 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. (End of
provision)
