NOTICE OF FILING REQUIREMENTS FOR AGENCY PROTESTS

NOTICE OF FILING REQUIREMENTS FOR AGENCY PROTESTS

Prior to submission of an agency protest, all parties must use their best efforts to resolve concerns raised by an interested party.

FEMA offers, as an option for disputes resolution, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). ADR is an informal, expeditious and inexpensive way to resolve contract issues and is designed to promote satisfying solutions and fair procedures. For more information on FEMA’s ADR services, please contact FEMA’s ADR office at the following address:

Federal Emergency Management Agency Alternative Dispute Resolution Division FEMA Office of Chief Counsel

400 Virginia Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20472-3400

If concerns cannot be resolved, protesters may use these procedures when a resolution is requested from the agency. These procedures have been designed to create an avenue for resolving third-party grievances in connection with the acquisition process outside of formal processes through the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the United States Court of

Federal Claims (CFC). Filing an agency protest is not a prerequisite to filing at the GAO or CFC. If the protester files a protest through the GAO or CFC while their protest is pending at the agency level, FEMA may dismiss the agency protest.

Pursuing an agency protest does not extend the time for obtaining a stay at GAO. These procedures are in addition to the existing protest procedures contained in FAR Subpart 33.103.

A. Definitions.

1. “Agency protest” is one that may be filed with either the contracting officer or the officer responsible for the resolution of all agency protests filed at the level above the contracting officer.

2. “Ombudsman” is the agency official above the level of the contacting officer designated by the Director of Acquisitions

Operations to handle and issue the formal agency decision resolving the protest. Protesters using these procedures may protest directly to the ombudsman.

3. “Day” is a calendar day. In computing a period of time for the purpose of these procedures, the day from which the period begins to run is not counted. When the last day of the period is Saturday, Sunday, or a Federal holiday, the period extends to the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or a Federal holiday. Similarly, when the Washington, DC offices of FEMA are closed for all or part of the last day, the period extends to the next day on which the Agency is open.

B. Submission Guidelines.

1. Agency protests may be filed through the contracting officer or, at a level above the contracting officer, through the ombudsman either by facsimile transmission or by “Certified Mail” (Return Receipt Requested) as follows:

2. The outside of the envelope or beginning of the FAX transmission must be marked “Agency Protest”. If the protester submits the protest directly through the ombudsman, the protester must also, within one (1) day of submitting the protest to the ombudsman, submit a copy of the protest to the responsible contracting officer either by FAX transmission or by “Certified

Mail” (Return Receipt Requested).

3. To be filed on a given day, protests and any subsequent appeals must be received by 4:30 p.m., current-local time. Any protests received after that time will be considered to be filed on the next day.

4. Protest submission will not be considered filed until all of the following information is provided:

a. The protester’s name, address, telephone number and fax number;

b. The solicitation or contract number;

c. A detailed statement of all factual and legal grounds for protests, to include an explanation of how the protester was prejudiced;

d. Copies of relevant documents;

e. A request for ruling by the agency;

f. A statement detailing the form of relief requested;

g. All information establishing that the protester is an interested party for the purposes of filings a protest; and

h. All information establishing the timeliness of the protest.

5. All protests must be signed by an authorized representative of the protester; and must be addressed to the contracting officer or the ombudsman.

C. Timeliness/Resolution of Protests.

1. Protests based upon alleged improprieties in a solicitation which are apparent prior to bid opening or the time set for receipt of initial proposals shall be filed prior to bid opening or the time set for receipt of initial proposals. In procurements where proposals are requested, alleged improprieties which are subsequently incorporated into the solicitation must be protested not later than the next closing time for receipt of proposals following the incorporation.

2. Protests other than those covered by paragraph (1) of this section shall be filed not later than 10 days after the basis of protest is known or should have been known (whichever is earlier), with the exception of protests challenging a procurement conducted on the basis of competitive proposals under which a debriefing is requested and, when requested, is required. In such cases, with respect to any protest basis which is known or should have been known either before or as a result of the debriefing, the initial protest shall not be filed before the debriefing date offered to the protester, but shall be filed not later than 10 days after the date on which the debriefing is held.

3. Protests filed through the contracting officer within 20 days after the protest is filed through the contracting officer, the contracting officer will send a written ruling and a summary of the reasons supporting the ruling to the protester by “Certified

Mail (Return Receipt Requested)”.

D. Appeals.

1. Protesters who filed protests through the contracting officer may, within five days of receipt of the contracting officer’s written ruling, appeal to the ombudsman. Requests for appellate review must be submitted to the ombudsman by facsimile transmission or by “Certified Mail” (Return Receipt Requested).

2. The ombudsman will send a written ruling and a summary of the reasons supporting the ruling to the protester by “Certified

Mail (Return Receipt Requested)” within 10 days of receipt of the request for appellate review of the contracting officer’s decision.

3. In accordance with FAR 33.103(d)(4) and 4 C.F.R. 21.2(a)(3), if there is an agency appellate review of the contracting officer’s decision on the protest, it will not extend GAO’s timeliness requirements. Therefore, any subsequent protest to the

GAO must be filed within 10 days of knowledge of initial adverse agency action.

E. Protests filed through the ombudsman:

1. If the protester protests directly through the ombudsman, the ombudsman will send a written ruling and a summary of the reasons supporting the ruling to the protester by “Certified Mail (Return Receipt Requested)” within 35 days after the protest was filed.

2. Protests filed directly through the ombudsman cannot be appealed within the agency.

F. Dismissal of Protests. The agency may dismiss protests when protesters file protests through the GAO or CFC while their protests are pending at the agency level; and for failure to comply with any of the requirements of these agency protest procedures. For example, the agency may dismiss protests that are procedurally or substantively defective (e.g., the protest is untimely or the protest fails to clearly state legally sufficient grounds of protests).

M - Evaluation Factors for Award

1. Factor Identification - This Government will evaluate the offerors using the following factors.

Factor 1 – Technical Specification

Factor 2 – Delivery Date

Factor 3 – Price

2. Order of Importance - Factor 1, Technical Specification is the most important factor, and more important than Factor 2, Delivery Date. The non-price factors 1 and 2 combined are more important than factor 3, Price.

3. Basis of Award - Award will be made based upon the offeror’s proposal that provides the best value to the

Government using the evaluation factors and tradeoff process. All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are more important than price.

I.EVALUATON METHODOLOGY:

1. Technical Proposal Evaluation

A. Technical Evaluation Ratings and Definitions – Each offeror’s technical proposal will be evaluated for completeness and to determine whether the proposed approach meets the requirement and criteria as specified in the RFQ. The table below provides definitions of the adjectival ratings to be used in evaluating each offeror’s technical proposal for Factors 1 and 2.

RATING DESCRIPTION

High

Confidence

The Government has high confidence that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with little or no

Government intervention.

Some

Confidence

The Government has some confidence that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, and will be successful in performing the contract with some

Government intervention.

Low

Confidence

The Government has low confidence that the Offeror understands the requirement, proposes a sound approach, or will be successful in performing the contract even with

Government intervention.

B. Factor 1 – Technical Specification

The technical specification will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s proposed items meet the minimum technical specificities outlined in the SOW section 4.1.

C..Factor 2 – Delivery Plan

The Delivery Plan will be evaluated for the earliest and reasonable dates, considering weather and transportation available considerations.

2 Price Proposal Evaluation

A. Price proposal evaluation will not receive an adjectival rating.

B. The Government will perform price evaluation to determine whether proposed prices are fair and reasonable. For the price to be reasonable in its nature and amount, it should not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of a competitive business. Offerors are cautioned that unreasonably high prices may cause your proposal to be deemed not fair and unreasonable.

C. The Government reserves the right to also perform price evaluation to determine whether the proposed prices are realistic. For the price to be realistic, it should not be overly optimistic and impractically low. Offerors are cautioned that unrealistically low prices, as to pose a risk to the completion of the work, may cause your proposal to be deemed unrealistic and do not pose clear understanding of the scope.

D. In evaluating price, the Government will utilize one or more proposal analysis techniques from FAR 15.404-1. Examples of such techniques include, but are not limited to the following:

• Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation.

• Comparison of proposed prices to historical prices paid, whether by the Government or other than the Government, for the same or similar items.

• Comparison with competitive published price lists, published market prices of commodities, similar indexes, and discount or rebate arrangements.

• Comparison of proposed prices with independent Government cost estimates.

• Comparison of proposed prices with prices obtained through market research for the same or similar services.
