 The District of Columbia Department of Public Works (DPW), Office of Waste Diversion, Solid
Waste Management Administration has a requirement for a contractor to process and market a mix
of commercial and residential recyclable loads.
(D) The selection process, including the number of offerors, the evaluation criteria, and the
evaluation results, including price, technical or quality, and past performance components.
On June 10, 2021, the Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) on behalf of the Department
of Works (DPW) issued an RFP solicitation No. Doc562245 for Commercial and Residential
Recycling Services with a due date of July 23, 2021. The RFP closed with three (3) Offerors.
On April 3, 2023, Amendment A04 was issued removing duplicative verbiage from the
solicitation. On the same day, a request for Offerors to submit their Best and Final Offer (BAFO)
was issued extending firms the opportunity to modify their technical and pricing proposals. In
accordance with the letter, a firm’s original proposal will be evaluated if a BAFO is not
submitted. BAFOs were submitted by two Offerors.
The firm’s BAFOs and original proposals were evaluated on technical and pricing criteria. The
technical criteria have a maximum of 50 points:
TECHNICAL CRITERIA POINTS
Factor M.3.1.1 A- Past Performance, Experience and References 25
Factor M.3.1.1 B – Primary Material Recovery Facility Operational Capacity 15
Factor M.3.1.1 C – Marketing Recyclables 10
Total 50
The price evaluation is objective. The Offeror with the lowest price will receive the maximum
price points. All other proposals will receive a proportionately lower total score. The following
formula was used to determine each Offeror’s evaluated price score:
Lowest price proposal x weight = Evaluated price score Price of proposal being evaluated
---------------------------
The evaluation results are as follows:
The highest combined total score an Offeror may receive is 100 points.
The Combined Scores for the Offeror’s, ranked from highest to lowest is as follows:
• BFI – 86.52 – Highest Combined Points
