The Contractor will be evaluated based on Best Value, including considerations for products purchased under this contract, as assessed through life cycle cost analysis. The Contractor is required to provide the cost for each product using the life cycle cost formula below:
LCC = I + Repl − Res + E + W + OMR + X
where:
LCC = Total LCC in present-value dollars of a given alternative
I = Present-value investment costs
Repl = Present-value capital replacement costs
Res = Present-value residual value (resale value, scrap value, salvage value) less disposal costs
E = Present-value energy costs
W = Present-value water costs
OMR = Present-value non-fuel operating, maintenance, and repair costs
X = Present-value other costs (benefits treated as negative costs)
