- Description
- The USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station intends to initiate a Request for Proposal (RFP) procurement action and award a Firm-Fixed Price contract for Collection of Light Detection and Ranging Data (LiDAR) in the New Jersey Pinelands. The Contractor shall provide all equipment, labor, and materials necessary to map forest structure in open canopy pine and oak forests using LiDAR, ALS technology The acquisition will be solicited using the procurement process prescribed in Part 12, Commercial Items, of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). A Firm-Fixed-Price contract will be awarded for a Base Period and two (2) Option Periods (if exercised) and will be from approximately November 2012 to April 2014. The Government will award the contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose proposal, conforming to the RFP, will be the Best Value to the Government. The award may be made to a superior offeror which is not the lowest offered price, but which is significantly more technically advantageous than the lowest offer so as to justify the payment of a higher price. Proposals will be reviewed for completeness and evaluated for acceptability against the following evaluation factors listed in descending order of importance: 1) Experience and Qualifications of Contractor Key Personnel [and Subcontractors, if applicable]; 2) Past Performance and 3) Price Reasonableness. Factors 1 and 2 are of equal weighting and are significantly more important than price; however price will contribute substantially to the selection decision. Award of the contract will be made as a whole to the offeror whose proposal conforms to all requirements of the specifications and is the "greatest value" to the Government, cost and other factors considered. The Government may elect to conduct discussions with offerors whose proposals are technically acceptable (or which may be expected to be made acceptable by moderate modification) and fall within the competitive price range. The Government reserves the right, however, to award a contract based on initial offers without conducting discussions. Therefore, each proposal should be submitted from the offeror's most favorable technical and price standpoints. Solicitation documents, plans and specifications will only be available via the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) homepage located at https://www.fbo.gov/ An electronic copy of Solicitation Number AG-3604-S-13-0002 will be posted on this site on or about October 16, 2012.
