(b) The contractor shall take into account the potential for ordering all estimated AIR quantities in developing the Production Schedule. The ordering of any portion of the AIR quantities does not in itself warrant an extension to the original contract completion date; however, for planning purposes, the Government anticipates ordering AIR in accordance with the following schedule:

(1) No more than 75% of the hours during the first half of the contract period of performance.

(2) No more than 50% of the hours during the third quarter of the contract period of performance.

(3) No more than 30% of the hours during the fourth quarter of the contract period of performance.

(c) The AIR labor rate shall be a flat, hourly rate to cover the entire effort and shall be burdened to include:

(1) Direct production labor hour functions only. Direct production labor hours are hours of skilled labor at the journeyman level expended in direct production. Direct production is defined as work performed by a qualified craftsman that is directly related to the alteration, modification, or repair of the item or system identified as needing alteration, modification, or repair. The following functions are identified as direct production: Abrasive Cleaning/Water Blasting, Tank Cleaning, Welding, Burning, Brazing, Blacksmithing, Machining (inside and outside), Carpentry, Electrical/Electronic Work, Crane Operation, Shipfitting, Lagging/Insulating, Painting, Boilermaking, Pipe Fitting, Engineering (Production), Sheetmetal Work, Staging/Scaffolding, and Rigging.

(2) Non-production labor hours (whether charged directly or indirectly by contractor's accounting system) shall be for labor in support of production functions. For purposes of this clause, support functions are defined as functions that do not directly contribute to the alteration, modification, or repair of the item or system identified as needing alteration, modification, or repair.

Necessary support functions should be priced into the burdened rate for production labor hours. Examples of support functions include: Testing, Quality Assurance (inspection), Engineering (support), Planning (including involvement of craft foreman/journeyman in planning a task), Estimating (including determination of necessary materials and equipment needed to perform a task), Material Handling, Set-up (moving tools and equipment from shop to ship to perform a task), Fire Watch, General Labor (including general support of journeyman tasks), Cleaning (including debris pickup and removal), Surveying, Security, Transportation, Supervision, and Lofting (sail/pattern making).

(d) Additional Item Requirements do not include replacement work performed pursuant to the Inspection and Manner of Doing Work or Guarantees clauses.

(e) It is the Government's intention to award any growth work identified during the repair to the contractor, if a fair and reasonable price can be negotiated for such work, based upon Schedule rates. If a fair and reasonable price cannot be negotiated, the Government may, at its discretion, obtain services outside of the contract. Such services may be performed while the ship is undergoing repair in the contractor's facility pursuant to the Access to Vessels clause.

(f) The contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer the following information in all AIR proposals:

(1) Number of labor hours estimated; broken down by specific direct production labor category.

(2) Material estimates, individually broken out and priced. When requested by the Contracting Officer, material quotes shall be provided.

(3) Subcontractor estimates, individually broken out and priced along with the actual subcontractor quotes. The requirement to submit subcontractor quotes may be waived if deemed appropriate by the Contracting Officer.

(4) Material/subcontractor handling fee and the basis for the fee.

(g) The contractor shall not be entitled to payment for any hours ordered pursuant to this clause until such time as a written contract modification is executed.

Change Request (CR) – Growth Work

(1) The Contractor shall not perform growth work without the Contracting Officer's authorization. This clause applies to Change Requests (CR), also known as growth and emergent work ordered by the Contracting Officer pursuant to the Changes clause. The Contractor shall perform the CR at the labor billing rates designated in the Schedule, as described in paragraph (2) of this clause. All growth work shall be paid at the prices stated in the Schedule.

(2) The CR composite labor rate is a flat, hourly rate used to price direct production labor hours. Contractors shall provide a detailed breakdown that fully supports the quoted CR composite labor rate. The CR composite labor rate shall be burdened to include the cost of direct production labor, all associated indirect costs, and profit/fee as described below:

a. Direct production labor is defined as work that is directly related to the alteration, modification, and repair tasks performed directly on, or in direct support of, components or systems identified in the CR or elsewhere in the contract.

c. Direct consumables and expendables: supply items, manufactured or procured by the Contractor that are consumed or expended in conjunction with direct production (e.g. rags, gloves, respirators/masks, etc.)

(3) Detailed pricing for the following shall be priced and itemized separately to include all costs and profit/fee as described below and shall not be included in the CR composite labor rate:

a. Direct materials: supply items, manufactured or procured by the Contractor, that are installed in conjunction with direct production, or are otherwise turned over to the Coast Guard (e.g. plate, angle iron, welding rods, paint, pumps, motors, engine and gearbox oil, engine jacket water, etc.)

b. Direct subcontracted services: direct production service items and procured by the Contractor to support the contract (e.g.

gas-free engineering services, rented crane services, rented temporary air conditioning units and other rented tools not normally owned as fixed assets, etc.)

(4) CRs do not include replacement work performed pursuant to HSAR 3052.217- 92 Inspection and Manner of Doing Work clause or HSAR 3052.217-100 Guarantees clause.

(5) It is the Government's intention to award any growth work identified during the contract performance period to the contractor, if a fair and reasonable price can be negotiated for such work, based on Schedule rates. If a fair and reasonable price cannot be negotiated, the Government may, at its discretion obtain services outside of the contract. Such services may be performed while the ship is undergoing repair in the contractor's facility pursuant to the Access to Vessels clause.

52.212-2: Evaluation - Commercial Products and Commercial Services (NOV 2021) - Tailored FAR PROVISION 52.212-2: Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (NOV 2021). – Tailored

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes and are listed in descending order of importance:

Technical Capability: The Government will evaluate each offeror's demonstrated capability to provide a sound, compliant approach that meets all the requirements listed in the Specification and demonstrates a thorough knowledge and understanding of the requirements. The Government will evaluate each offeror's experience conducting major repairs/installs on DoD and USCG surface vessels and their workforce capability and capacity to perform the requirements. The Government will evaluate each offeror's project planning document to determine the quoter's understanding of the critical path and sequence of work items. The Government will evaluate each offeror's coating plan and strategy demonstrating their ability to successfully meet the preservation requirements of the solicitation. The Government will evaluate offeror's ability to meet qualified technical representative requirements cited on paragraph 3.1.2 in the multiple work items in the specification. The Government will evaluate each offeror's overall approach to quality control. The Government will evaluate offeror's overall approach to providing temporary services for this requirement. It is the offeror's responsibility to ensure that their offeror clearly addresses and demonstrates their ability to perform these requirements. Any offer that does not meet or address all Technical Capability submission requirements will be deemed unacceptable and may not be considered for award.

Past Performance: The Government may utilize any references provided by the quoter, along with information available from past contracts/orders with the USCG and any information found using sources such as Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to determine the contractor's past performance within the last three (3) years. The Government reserves the right to limit or expand the number of references it decides to contact and to contact references other than those provided by the offeror. Past performance less than satisfactory may not be considered for award. If an offeror does not have a history of relevant contract performance, or if past performance information is not available, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably, but will receive a neutral past performance rating.

Price: The Government will evaluate the offeror's Total Evaluated Price (TEP) for reasonableness. An offeror's TEP shall be the sum of all CLINs within the submitted Price Schedule. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the CLIN prices are significantly unbalanced. Unit prices left blank or annotated with something other than a U.S. dollar figure will be considered unacceptable and the Government reserves the right to reject the offeror without any further consideration.

In performing the best value tradeoff, past performance and technical capability, when combined, are significantly more important than price. Although price is not the controlling factor in award, it is an important factor. As the evaluation ratings of competing quotes under the non-price factors become closer to equivalent, price becomes more important. If competing quotes are substantially equal in technical capability and past performance, price may be the controlling factor in award.

Award may be made to other than the lowest priced offer (based on the results of the tradeoff analysis between non-price and price factors) or to other than the highest non-price rated offer if determined to be in the best interest of the Government.

(b) 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 exchanges after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
