The offeror shall identify at least two (2) but no more than four (4) relevant (construction, overhaul, repair and alteration of ships) and recent federal, state or local government or private contracts performed during the last three (3) years. In the event that more than four (4) past performance references are submitted with quote, we will review the four (4) most recent references.

FACTOR 2: PRICE

Complete Attachment 1 with prices for all CLINs.

Offeror’s price shall represent the best price in response to the request for quotes. The price shall be evaluated to determine fairness and reasonableness. The contracting officer will also calculate the foreseeable cost of transporting the USCGC SPENCER (WMEC 905) to offeror’s commercial shipyard.

FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION-COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(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. The following factor shall be used to

FY2020 DRYDOCK REPAIR for USCGC SPENCER PAGE 6 OF 49 evaluate the offer:

Factors:

1. Past Performance

2. Price

Past performance is equal to price.

Factor 1: Past Performance

The past performance evaluation will take into account the guidelines outlined at FAR 15.305(a)(2) Past Performance Evaluation. The Contractor’s past performance will be evaluated according to the following:

Rating Description

Exceptional Performance met contractual requirements and exceeded many to the Government’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government's benefit. The element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

Satisfactory Performance meets contractual requirements. The element being assessed contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory

Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions

Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The element being assessed contains a serious problem(s) for which the contractor’s corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

Neutral The offeror has no past performance history OR the Contracting Officer has determined that the past performance information provided is not directly related or similar to the requirements in the RFP.

In evaluating Contractors past performance, the government intends to also review U.S. Coast Guard Contractor Performance Assessment Reports and other existing past performance ratings on relevant contracts. For purposes of this solicitation, “relevant contracts” are defined as contracts performed in which the contractor was the prime contractor performing construction, overhaul, repair and alteration of similarly-sized ships/ vessels and past performance references of similar dollar value will be considered more relevant and will be given greater consideration than past performance references involving work on smaller ships/vessels and references involving contracts of smaller dollar values. Past performance ratings for contracts that were completed more than three years before the date of the issuance of this solicitation are not considered relevant and will not be evaluated. General trends in a Contractor’s performance will also be considered. Vendors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance, but will be assigned a Neutral rating.

Factor 2: Price

Past Performance Quality Ratings

FY2020 DRYDOCK REPAIR for USCGC SPENCER PAGE 7 OF 49

The total evaluated price of the offeror will be determined by totaling the proposed prices of all the Definite and Option Items, plus the composite labor hour extended total, plus lay days, and foreseeable costs. While Option Items, the composite labor hour rate, and lay days are included in the total evaluated price, it is for evaluation purposes, and therefore may or may not ultimately be awarded during contract performance.

(1) DEFINITE ITEMS: These are the items, which, if there is an award at all, will be awarded. The bid shall be evaluated to include the price for each definite item.

(2) OPTION ITEMS: These are the items, which, if there is an award at all, may be awarded upon completion of open and inspect, or if additional funds become available, of if they are needed. The offer shall be evaluated to include the price for each option item.

(3) COMPOSITE LABOR HOUR RATE: The offer shall be evaluated to include the offer price for the Composite Labor Hour Rate multiplied by the estimated quantity of hours.

(4) LAY DAYS: A lay day is defined as an additional day on a dry dock or marine railway caused by a Government- issued change. The Contracting Officer will evaluate the daily rate for lay days multiplied by the estimated quantity of lay days as stated in the offeror’s Schedule of Services/ Supplies.

(5) FORESEEABLE COSTS: The Contracting Officer will evaluate certain foreseeable costs that will vary with the location of the commercial shipyard to be used by bidders/offerors under this solicitation. Costs will be calculated based on the bidder's/offeror's shipyard location and these costs will be added, for the purposes of evaluation only, to the bidder's/offeror's overall price.

Offeror’s price shall represent the best price in response to the request for quotes. The price shall be evaluated to determine fairness and reasonableness. Award may be made without any type of discussions or negotiations. The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest- priced offeror.

DISTANCE FACTOR ADJUSTMENT

In accordance with Coast Guard Acquisition Procedures (CGAP) 3017.9001– Price related factors in the award of vessel repair contracts, foreseeable costs in connection with the differences of shipyard locations in the award of any vessel repair contract conducted away from the vessel’s home pier shall be evaluated in all solicitations for contracts exceeding $100,000.

FORESEEABLE COST FACTORS PERTAINING TO DIFFERENT SHIPYARD

LOCATIONS

The Contracting Officer will evaluate certain foreseeable costs to the Coast Guard.

There will be Two (2) home port visit(s) during the performance of this contract. The vessel has 55 crew members eligible for Homeport Travel. Airfares will be based on the GSA City Pairs contracted Government YCA Fare (or successor GSA fare source) in effect at the time of receipt of bids/proposals. If there is no GSA contracted rate between the location of the contractor’s shipyard and the homeport the rate will be computed based on commercially available airfares.

(3) Travel and Per Diem Costs: If the contractor's facility is outside of a 50-road mile radius of the vessel's homeport—

(i) COR Homeport Travel: There will be a transportation cost for one (1)

Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for five (5) round trip(s) between the contractor's offered place of performance and the COR's official duty station Boston, MA

FY2020 DRYDOCK REPAIR for USCGC SPENCER PAGE 9 OF 49 at the cost of coach-type airfare. If the contractor’s facility is less than 50 road miles from the CORs official duty station (Cheboygan, MI), COR Homeport Travel will not apply.
