EVALUATION FACTORS-- In accordance with FAR 52.212-2(a), the following factors will be used to evaluate offerors: PRICE--To be considered for an award, the proposed price must be realistic and reasonable. Although price is a factor in the evaluation of proposals, technical merit will be a more significant factor in the selection of a contractor. The TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTOR is Past Performance. To demonstrate PAST PERFORMANCE, provide pertinent details regarding your firm's performance history (quality of services, how well you performed) on contracts in which radioactive waste disposal services were provided. Provide the names and current telephone numbers of at lease five individuals for whom you have, or are currently providing these services. Provide any other pertinent information that will aid in the evaluation of your performance record. Provide a copy of the certificate that is on file with the state where the disposal will take place and proof of insurance in accordance with that state.
