Realism. All Schedules prepared by the Buyer must be realistic and cannot contain logic that has been overridden (and thus not identified) by time, sequence, or resource constraints. If constraints exist, the Buyer shall identify them by type of constraint.
Realism. The City will examine the calculations, rationale and assumptions in each cost/price Proposal to determine if the proposed cost/price is realistic. In addition, the City will determine if the proposed cost/price is consistent with the proposed technical and management approaches.
Realism. This evaluation will include the extent to which proposed costs indicate a clear understanding of solicitation requirements and reflect a sound approach to satisfying those requirements, pursuant to FAR 15.404. All Cost CLINs will be assessed for realism. A proposal may be rejected if the CO determines that an unrealistic price poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. Cost realism is the process of independently reviewing and evaluating specific elements of each Offeror’s proposed cost estimate to determine whether the estimated proposed cost elements are realistic for the work to be performed; reflect a clear understanding of the requirements; and are consistent with the unique methods of performance described in the Offeror’s technical proposal. The burden of proof for cost realism rests with the Offeror. Accordingly, proposals will be evaluated to assess the likelihood that the proposed technical and management approach can successfully accomplish the solicitation at the competitively proposed cost and fee for cost type CLINs. Cost Realism may also be used in performance of risk assessments and responsibility determinations.
Realism. The Government will evaluate the realism of the offerors labor rates/salary and fringe benefits to assure that it reflects a sound management approach and understanding of the contract requirements. This evaluation will include an assessment of the offeror's ability to provide uninterrupted high-quality work. The compensation proposed will be considered in terms of its impact upon recruiting and retention, its realism, and its consistency with a total plan for compensation. The compensation levels proposed should reflect a clear understanding of work to be performed and should indicate the capability of the proposed compensation structure to obtain and keep the highly qualified personnel to meet mission objectives. The salary rates or ranges must take into account differences in skills, the complexity of various disciplines, and job difficulty. Additionally, proposals envisioning compensation levels lower than those of predecessor contractors for the same work will be evaluated on the basis of maintaining program continuity, uninterrupted high- quality work, and availability of required competent highly skilled service employees. Offerors are cautioned that lowered compensation for essentially the same work may indicate lack of sound management judgment and lack of understanding of the requirement.
Realism. Realism will be evaluated by independently reviewing and evaluating the specific elements of the Offeror's proposed cost estimate to determine whether the estimated proposed cost elements are realistic for the work to be performed, reflect a clear understanding of the requirements, and are consistent with the unique methods of performance described in the offeror's technical proposal. The result of the realism evaluation will be a determination of the most probable cost to the Government (which consists of cost and fee) of performance for the Offeror. The most probable cost to the Government will be determined by adjusting the Offeror's proposed cost to reflect any additions or reductions in cost elements to realistic levels based on the results of the cost realism analysis.
Realism. This philosophy, that has its roots on idealism, is a system of thought that assumes best the reality of idea and experience. It is an idea of reality that is not merely product of the human mind or pure imagination but experiential. This is a philosophy that came as a result of the pedagogical clash of Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx. Scotter (1991) claims that the realist sees that there exists an external world independent of mind, and that anything that exists possesses quantity and quality. He added that world (the natural order) can be predicted and controlled, and that values depend in the elegance of nature, and its laws. Thus to be a realist teacher, one must be able to relate lessons to the students’ experiences and relies on authenticity made tests capable and applicable to assess learning outputs; uses teaching strategies which stress opportunities for discovery approach in problem solving essential to acquiring knowledge on how to face real life situations, regards classroom management that is set with rules of extrinsic punishment and intrinsic rewards according to acknowledged criteria, and uses the curriculum as subject-centered emphasizing accountability and concept-driven. In addition, realism recommends preparing students for real and practical life of material world which can be gained through senses. Realism according to Xxxxx, S (2020)is in favor of training of teachers before they involve in teaching. Realism believes that teachers should have full knowledge of the subject matter, psychology of learners and the scientific way of delivering education. The teachers must encourage the learners to observe and experiment the natural objects and phenomena so that learners will be able to find out new facts with respect of construction of knowledge. They should inform learners about the scientific discoveries, inventions and researches in different fields of knowledge.
Realism. Plans and programmes should be discussed with a broad spectrum of Sudanese society to ensure expectations of benefits are realistic.
