NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS

United States Coast Guard Ombudsman Program

It is the policy of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time consuming litigation. OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the Government Accountability Office

(GAO). Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the USCG as an Alternative Dispute

Resolution (ADR) forum rather than filing a protest with the GAO or some external forum.

Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the

Contracting Officer or Ombudsman. Informal Forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe a specific

USCG procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicable Contracting Officer.

If the Contracting Officer is unable to satisfy their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the U.S. Coast

Guard Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the

Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, Contracting Officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable).

Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman. Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the Contracting Officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester’s concerns are unresolved, an Independent Review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the Contracting Officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program.

Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the

Government. The agency’s goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.103(d) (2). If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. To be timely protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program should be submitted electronically to

OPAP@uscg.mil and the Contracting Officer or by hand delivery to the Contracting Officer.

Election of Forum. After an interested party protests a Coast Guard procurement to the Contracting Officer or the

Ombudsman, and while the protest is pending, the protester agrees not to file a protest with the GAO or other external forum. If the protest is filed with an external forum, the agency protest will be dismissed.

The Ombudsman Hotline telephone number is 202.372.3695.

Contractors are required to comply with applicable Federal and State workers’ compensation and occupational disease statutes. If occupational diseases are not compensable under those statutes, they shall be covered under the employer’s liability section of the insurance policy, except when contract operations are so commingled with a contractor’s commercial operations that it would not be practical to require this coverage. Employer’s liability coverage of at least

$100,000 shall be required, except in States with exclusive or monopolistic funds that do not permit workers’ compensation to be written by private carriers. (See 28.305(c) for treatment of contracts subject to the Defense Base Act.)

The contracting officer shall require automobile liability insurance written on the comprehensive form of policy.

Policies covering automobiles operated in the United States shall provide coverage of at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $20,000 per occurrence for property damage. The amount of liability coverage on other policies shall be commensurate with any legal requirements of the locality and sufficient to meet normal and customary claims.

NOTE 1: It is acceptable to submit a letter from the Insurance Company stating a Certificate of Insurance will be provided upon contract award. A letter from the Contractor will not be acceptable.

C.8 CGAP Subchapter 3004.1301-90 Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and

Contractors and Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS) (Feb 2011)

(a) “Contractor employee” means an employee of a firm, or an individual, under contract or subcontract to the Coast

Guard to provide services and who requires physical and/or logical access to information systems and/or facilities.

(b) Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12 mandates a Federal standard for secure and reliable forms of identification for Federal employees and contractor employees. The Common Access Card (CAC) is a personal identification card for the Department of Defense/Uniformed Services and complies with HSPD-12. The Coast Guard has instituted the CAC as its HSPD-12 compliant personal identification card for contractor and subcontractor employees who are required to access a Coast Guard, Department of Defense (DoD), or other federally-controlled computer information system and/or facility, or need public key infrastructure (PKI) authentication to perform their contractual duties. The

Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS) is the automated application process for obtaining a CAC.

(c) Contractor and subcontractor employees working pursuant to this contract who are required to access a Coast Guard, DoD, or other federally-controlled computer information system and/or facility, or need PKI authentication to perform their contractual duties shall use TASS to obtain a CAC.

(d) The Contracting Officer Representative (COR) shall serve as the TASS Trusted Agent and is responsible for creating contractor accounts in the TASS approving, returning, or rejecting CAC applications (as applicable); re-verifying assigned contractors every six months; revoking contractor and employee eligibility for a CAC; and confiscating a CAC when the contract expires or when a contractor or subcontractor employee stops working under the contract.

(e) Current standards require a favorable fingerprint check and verification of an initiated or completed investigation for all incoming Coast Guard contractor personnel before CAC issuance. The COR shall ensure that contractor personnel satisfy the security requirements for CAC issuance, and that completed fingerprint cards and electronic questionnaires for investigation processing are submitted to the U.S. Coast Guard Security Center (SECCEN).

(f) The COR or Contracting Officer shall provide such forms to, or request such information from, contractor employees that may be necessary for obtaining a CAC via the TASS. Completed forms and information shall be submitted as directed by the COR or Contracting Officer. Contractors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information submitted and for any liability resulting from the Government’s reliance on inaccurate or incomplete information.

(g) Contractor or subcontractor employees who are declined via the TASS are ineligible to perform work under this contract. When an employee with a CAC is no longer performing work under this contract, the employee must return them to the COR or Contracting Officer on the same day the employee stops working.

(h) The contractor shall insert this clause in all subcontracts when a subcontractor’s employee is required to access a Coast

Guard, DoD, or other federally-controlled computer information system and/or facility, or need PKI authentication to perform contractual duties.

C.9 52.212-5 Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statues or Executive Orders—Commercial

(End of provision)

E.4 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. Award will be made to the Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) offer with acceptable past performance.

(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.

Price

The offeror shall provide pricing, as requested, in the attached schedule. Any quantity price discounts and discounts for prompt payment should be included in this section. Total price evaluation will be for the base period and all option periods. Failure to propose pricing for the base period and all option periods on individual line items may result in a proposal being excluded from further consideration.

Technical Acceptability

Technical Acceptability will be evaluated to determine an overall rating of “acceptable” or “unacceptable”. This will be determined by evaluating the ability of the offeror to provide a sound, compliant approach that meets all requirements listed in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and demonstrates a thorough knowledge and understanding of the requirements. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that their response clearly demonstrates their ability to perform these requirements. All offerors must provide the following minimum information and documentation with their response to be considered technically acceptable:

Detailed explanation of the offeror’s ability to provide the required qualified personnel and perform the services in accordance with the PWS. A simple statement of capabilities will not suffice. The offeror must address how they will accomplish the requirements of each section of the PWS.

Detailed explanation of any requirement listed in the PWS that cannot be successfully accomplished by the offeror. Offerors are advised that the USCG intends to award without discussions so any exceptions may cause the quote to be found technically unacceptable.

Staffing Plan - The Offeror shall provide a staffing plan showing the number of workers and the hours they will perform in accomplishing the required task in providing Grounds Maintenance Services at USCG Air Station

Clearwater, FL.

Job Title Total # of FT Empl. Total FT Hours Total # of PT Empl. Total PT Hours

Past Performance

The Government may utilize any references provided by the Contractor, along with information available from past contracts/orders with the USCG and any information found using sources such as Federal Government sources, Past

Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS)/Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to determine if the Contractor has acceptable Past Performance. 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.

Evaluation Method

The Government will evaluate quotations based on the LPTA criteria. Only the lowest priced offer will be evaluated for

Technical Acceptability. Should the lowest priced offer not received an acceptable technical or past performance rating, the process will continue in order of lowest priced offer until the lowest price, technically acceptable offer with acceptable or neutral past performance is identified.
