01 - DESCRIPTION. The National Park Service has a requirement for providing exhibit planning, design, fabrication, and installation of new exhibits to replace outdated and worn exhibit panels in Pearson Air Museum within Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, Vancouver, WA. Work includes labor, materials, equipment, facilities, and travel necessary to provide the development of museum interpretive exhibit planning, design, fabrication, and installation. Exhibits may include, but are not limited to, graphic panels, display cases, lighting systems, photographs, display transparencies, dimensional maps and displays, replicas, and associated structural elements such as display walls, platforms, barriers, and other display support structures. The outdated and worn exhibit elements to be removed consist of 29 exhibit panels and various (but minimal) attached or imbedded A/V or interactive elements. The current exhibit panels are installed around the perimeter of the main hangar that forms the heart of Pearson Air Museum. The space available for this design-build project is constrained by wall murals; aircraft and other existing exhibits on the floor of the hangar as well as suspended above; doors and other circulation spaces; and fire system elements. Within the scope of this project, no museum collection items shall be approved for permanent display, though rotating object display options or reproductions/replicas are acceptable. In addition to the exhibit panels being replaced, there are newer, existing exhibit panels that will remain in the museum. The design and materials proposed as a part of this contract should be complementary to the design and materials utilized for these panels and other existing elements within Pearson Air Museum.

The existing panels are mostly high-pressure laminate. The panels being replaced present the chronology and historical highlights of Pearson Field, which focus on the following interpretive themes and events: 1. Early aviation experimentation on the polo and parade ground adjacent to

Vancouver Barracks, including Lincoln Beachey’s 1905 dirigible flight from Portland to

Vancouver and activities by early aviators such as Charles Walsh and Silas Christofferson prior to the start of World War I. (1905-1917); 2. The Spruce Production Division and the

Vancouver Cut-Up Plant, reflecting innovations in aircraft design and industry and support of the Allied air war effort. (1917-1919); 3. Activities and personnel of the U.S. Army Air Service at Pearson Field, particularly the 321st Observation Squadron. Subthemes include forest fire spotting, aerial photography, crop dusting and Lieutenant Oakley Kelly and Carlton Bond’s efforts to expand the influence of aviation in the Pacific Northwest. (1923-1941); 4. Notable aviation occurrences involving Pearson Field during the interwar period, such as the 1924 https://www.acquisition.gov/?q=/browse/far/52

Douglas World Cruiser’s stop, 1929 landing of the Soviet ANT-4, and Valery Chkalov’s completion of the first transpolar flight in 1937. (1923-1941); 5. Air mail and civilian aviation activity, including the development of Pacific Air Transport (the precursor to United Airlines), and the presence of famed early 20th century flight instructor, “Tex” Rankin at Pearson Field

(1925-1941).

06 – PROVISIONS AND CLAUSES

This Solicitation incorporates one or more provisions and clauses by reference, as listed below, with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. The full text of a provision or clause may be accessed electronically at this address: https://www.acquisition.gov/?q=browsefar.

6.1 The provision at 52.252-5, Authorized Deviations in Provisions (Apr 1984), applies to this solicitation, and is provided in full text as follows:

(a) The use in this solicitation of any Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR Chapter 1) provision with an authorized deviation is indicated by the addition of “(DEVIATION)” after the date of the provision.

(b) The use in this solicitation of any Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR Chapter

52) provision with an authorized deviation is indicated by the addition of

“(DEVIATION)” after the name of the regulation.

6.2 The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items (Jan 2017) (DEVIATION), applies to this solicitation.

6.3 The provision at 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items (Oct 2014), applies to this solicitation, and is incorporated into this solicitation by full text as follows:

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Technical and past performance, when combined, are approximately equal when compared to price. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(I) TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES AND EXPERIENCE. Experience is differentiated from past performance in that it is factual, documented information about specific work the quoter has performed, which demonstrates the quoter’s technical ability to accomplish the work, including the relavent experience of Quoter’s key personnel. Quoter shall have minimum of 5 years’ experience in designing and fabricating museum exhibits for the National Park Service, or other Federal Agencies, or State/Local Government, or Universities. Key personnel assigned to the project shall have a background in exhibit design/fabrication.

NOTE: The proposed key personnel is/are the individual(s) the Government expects to work with during performance of the contract. Should there need to be a change to contractor’s key personnel after award, the contractor shall notify the appointed

Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) immediately. The contractor shall submit the proposed replacement key personnel resume(s) showing qualifications/experience specific to designing and fabricating museum exhibits. The newly proposed key personnel shall be approved by the COR.

(II) PAST PERFORMANCE. Past performance is the measure of the degree to which a contractor has satisfied its customers in the past. Past performance includes projects of comparable size and scope for public agencies and/or public facilities. Contractor to provide three references for contracts in the past 5 years with a similar size and scope to include a point of contact with phone number and/or email address, telephone and/or email contacts will be made. The Government will evaluate past performance as a measure of the degree to which the quoter satisfied its customers in the past and complied with Federal, State, and

Local laws and regulations. In the case of an quoter who states they have no record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the https://www.acquisition.gov/?q=browsefar quoter will not be evaluated favorable or unfavorably on past performance. Quoter are permitted to provide information on any problems encountered on the identified contracts and the Quoter’s corrective actions. The Government may contact sources listed by the quoter and/or other sources of information including, but not limited to, Federal, State and Local governments, better business bureaus, published media, and electronic databases to determine if they believe that the Offeror:

a. Demonstrated the ability to maintain cost control, stay on schedule, and successfully meet project deadlines, including timely submittals and complete pay requests;

b. Has an excellent safety record;

c. Was capable, reasonable, and cooperative during the performance period;

d. Demonstrated high quality workmanship and performance conforming to the terms and conditions of the contract.

(III) PRICE. A price evaluation will be performed to determine the reasonableness of the proposed price. Reasonableness will be determined considering other competitive prices received and comparison to the Independent Government Estimate (IGE). The Government will look at whether a quoted price is too high and may also consider whether a quoted price is too low in relation to the level of effort proposed, since this might indicate a lack of technical understanding on the Quoter's part or a performance risk associated with the quotation that the agency may not be willing to accept. Whether a price is too high or too low may be considered in the context of comparison to other price quotes as well as to the

IGE or to any other information the contracting officer deems useful in his or her discretion.

If multiple contract line items are included in the price schedule, prices will also be evaluated to determine whether any line items are unbalanced. Quoters are cautioned to distribute costs appropriately. The intent is that what gets awarded is what is available for this entire project – there is no budget available for post award change orders.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the

Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
