• FACTOR 1: Offerors shall show method of accomplishment and materials to be used. Offerors must submit a copy of specifications and materials proposed, describing how the project will be accomplished as required by the SOW. Proposed materials and methods must meet or exceed minimum applicable DIN standards for Civil Work (B3), Architectural Work (B4), Electrical Work (B5), and Engineering Services (B6).

• Currency: All proposed prices must be submitted in EURO only.

• Price Evaluation: The Total Evaluated Price (TEP) will be calculated as the sum of CLIN 0001 (Base Bid - Bldg. 8404) and CLIN 0002 (Additive Item - Bldg. 8405).

• Award Criteria: The Government intends to make a single contract award for the Base Bid (CLIN 0001) and the Additive Item (CLIN 0002) to the responsible bidder who submits the lowest responsive, aggregate bid for both CLINs. However, in the event that the lowest aggregate bid exceeds available funding, or if funding is reduced at the end of the fiscal year, the Government reserves the right to make an award for the Base Bid (CLIN 0001 - Building 8404) only.

(viii) Statement regarding acceptability and further information

(A) Bidders should submit technical proposals that are acceptable without additional explanation or information.

(B) The Government may make a final determination regarding a technical proposal's acceptability solely on the basis as submitted.

(x) Statement regarding multiple technical proposals

Bidders are welcome and encouraged to submit multiple technical proposals presenting different basic approaches. Each technical proposal submitted will be separately evaluated, and the submitter will be notified as to its acceptability (see FAR 52.214-24).
