(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 factors shall be used to evaluate the offer:

Factors:

1. Past Performance

2. Price

Past performance is approximately 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:

Past Performance Quality Ratings

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. Past performance ratings for contracts that were completed more than three years before the date of the issuance of this solicitation are not considered recent 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

The total evaluated price of the offeror will be determined by totaling the proposed prices of all the Definite, Option Items, plus the composite labor hour extended total. While Option Items and the composite labor hour rate, 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.

LOCATION OF OFFEROR’S COMMERCIAL SHIPYARD

In order for the Contracting Officer to evaluate certain foreseeable costs to the Coast Guard that will vary with the location of the commercial shipyard to be used by the offeror, the offeror is required to provide, in the space below, the exact location of the shipyard to be used to perform the services required under this solicitation. The offeror is cautioned that its failure to provide the location of its commercial shipyard in the space provided may result in its quote being declared nonresponsive under the provisions of the terms of this Request for Quote.

Name and Location of Shipyard:

FORESEEABLE COST FACTORS PERTAINING TO DIFFERENT SHIPYARD LOCATIONS

The Contracting Officer will evaluate certain foreseeable costs to the Coast Guard. Those costs will vary based on the location of the offeror’s shipyard and are added to the offeror’s overall bid price or price quote for the purposes of evaluation only. These elements of foreseeable costs consist of the following:

(1) Transit Cost:

(i) Vessel operational cost will be calculated based on one round trip from the vessel's homeport of South Portland, ME to the contractor's facility. Distance will be based on the NOAA publication, “Distance Between U.S. Ports” or other authority (in order of priority), including Army Corp of Engineers or U.S. Navy transit publications, if the shipyard location is not contained in the NOAA publication. Transit cost to navigate the vessel between its homeport and the contractor's offered place of performance is $108.30 per nautical mile. The number of nautical miles to transit between the offeror’s shipyard and the vessel's homeport will be multiplied by the operational cost.

(2) Family Separation Allowance & Homeport Travel:

Crew members with dependents residing within the area of the homeport are entitled to Family Separation Allowance and Homeport Travel Allowance whenever a vessel is overhauled outside of the area of the homeport. The area of the homeport is defined as the area within 50 road miles of the homeport. If the contractor's facility is outside of a 50-road mile radius of the vessel's homeport—

(i) Family Separation Allowance for personnel in accordance with Family Separation Allowance listed under DFAS.mil; Pay & Allowance; Family Separation Allowance for 23 crew members entitled to Family Separation Allowance $8.33 per day. This entitlement is calculated from the date that the vessel leaves the home port to transit to the offeror’s shipyard and the planned date of return to home port after completion of repairs or equipment installation. If the contractor’s facility is less than 50 road miles from the cutter’s homeport, Family Separation allowance will not apply.

(ii) Homeport Travel. Crew's transportation during overhaul away from home port, as required by 37 USC 406 b and Chapter 7, Part F1 of the Joint Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR), on the thirty-first (31) day of a vessel being away from home port, and every sixty (60) days thereafter, all personnel with dependents residing in the area of the home port will be provided round trip coach type airfare to the vessels home port. There will be one (1) homeport visit(s) during the performance of this contract. The vessel has 13 crewmembers 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 quotes. 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. If the contractor’s facility is less than 50 road miles from the cutter’s homeport, homeport travel will not apply.

(3) Travel and Per Diem Costs:

(i) COR Homeport Travel: There will be a transportation cost for one (1) Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for 12 round trip(s) between the contractor's offered place of performance and the COR's official duty station (Boston, MA) at the cost of coach-type airfare. If the contractor’s facility is less than 50 road miles from the CORs official duty station (Boston, MA), COR Homeport Travel will not apply.

(ii) COR Per Diem: There will be a per diem expense for 50 calendar days to support one (1) COR while in the city of the place of contract performance, to be determined in accordance with the Joint Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR). The cost of car rental for the estimated performance period will also be included. If the contractor’s facility is less than 50 road miles from the CORs official duty station (Boston, MA), COR Per Diem will not apply.

(iii) Contracting Officer Travel and Per Diem: There will be a transportation cost for Contracting Officer for one (1), three (3) day round trip, between the Contracting Officer's official duty station (Norfolk, VA) and the contractor's offered place of performance at the cost of coach-type airfare, plus per diem expenses.
