5. Opportunity Description

a. Background / Program Purpose and Plan

Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) – The Arlington National Cemetery is a 624-acre United States military cemetery located in Arlington, Virginia. ANC grounds are for laying to rest those who have served the nation with dignity and honor. The ANC conducts between 27 and 30 funeral services each day and between six and eight services on Saturday. The grounds provide beauty and peace for the guests as well as a means to honor those who have served the nation. As part of the expansion of the cemetery grounds in 2013, restoration of Millennium Stream was permitted for 1,794 linear feet. This restoration was part of the Millennium Project Site Expansion Stream Restoration, Overall Plan, Grading and Longitudinal Profile. The Repair and Maintenance of the project intended to protect the road, maintain the stream profile, and repair and maintain the stream corridor through debris removal and regrading to original plan contours. This effort will help maintain the integrity and aesthetic value of the stream corridor.

Currently, there are at least two large trees downed across the stream channel, creating a pinch point and debris dams that will, if left unchanged, flood the adjacent areas and erode the stream channel. Furthermore, there is excess water collecting under the Gifford Bridge, which may cause flooding and sedimentation in the stream channel if the conditions are not addressed. Lastly, due to recent extreme weather events and upstream construction, the stream restoration has been subject to excessive sedimentation that has caused the stream to overtop Ord and Weitzel Drive, threatening the grave sites across the street.

The primary objective of this Agreement is to conduct repair and maintenance on Millennium Stream. This will include maintenance of the stream plunge pool and stream bank to its permitted grades of up to 100 linear feet of stream from the culvert at Ord and Weitzel Drive, to remove fallen trees and subsequent debris dams at two locations within the stream channel, and provide a drainage solution for the water collecting under the Gifford Bridge.

The Scope of Work is provided as Attachment A- FY20 Arlington National Cemetery Millennium Stream Repair and Maintenance dated 10-08-2020. The following are provided as attachments to the scope of work:

Enter each Federal program’s CFDA number(s) in the corresponding fields on the form. The CFDA number(s) for this Federal program appears on the first page of this Funding Opportunity Announcement.

2.2.1 Project Narrative. Applicants are required to submit an application project narrative which will be the primary basis on which NAVFAC Washington will determine the capability of the applicant to perform this work. The project proposal must be no longer than 20 pages, with a font size no smaller than 11-point and have at least one (1) inch margins on all sides. The 20-page limit includes all text, figures, references, and vitae, but does not include the Budget details and narrative.

The project narrative shall be specific, complete, thorough, clear and concise, and must address each requirement stated in this Section. The narrative shall not merely offer to comply with the Government's requirements by simply restating them but shall specifically describe the means of accomplishment.

Unnecessary elaboration or other presentations beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective narrative are not desired and may be construed as an indication of the applicant’s lack of cost consciousness. Elaborate artwork, expensive paper or bindings, and expensive visual or other presentation aids (with the exception of technical drawings and figures) are neither necessary nor desired. The narrative shall contain all the pertinent information in sufficient detail in the one area of the narrative where it contributes most critically to the discussion. When necessary, the applicant shall refer to the initial discussion and identify its location within its narrative.

Overall Arrangement of the Project Narrative shall consist of the following:

2.2.2 Technical Volume I. Applicants shall include the following information in the Technical

Volume.

2.2.2.1 Criterion#1: Project Goals and Objectives. Provide a program description illustrating how the applicant plans to achieve the goals and objectives of the specific tasks outlined in the scope of work.

Using Attachment I, provide references for up to two past projects of similar size and scope performed within the last five years – No more than one page per reference. Applicants with no prior past performance experience shall provide a statement in their proposal to that effect. The lack of recent and relevant past performance information will result in the assignment of a neutral rating (i.e. neither favorable nor unfavorable) for this criterion.

2.2.3 Budget Volume II. The applicant shall ensure that the information submitted in this volume is consistent with and fully supports the amounts set forth in SF 424A. Provide budget details and a narrative to present the breakdown of your estimated costs, by category, needed to accomplish project activities.

2.2.3.5 Sub-recipient costs. Submit all sub-recipient/subrecipient proposals and analyses. If the sub-recipient or subrecipient will not submit cost information directly to the pass-through entity, this information must be submitted directly to the Government for analysis. For all sub-recipients/subrecipients, provide the method of selection used to determine the sub- recipient/subrecipient.

2.2.3.6 Indirect Costs. Identify the type of indirect rate proposed, the percentage and the total indirect cost amount. Provide a copy of the negotiated indirect rate agreement (NICRA) with cognizant audit agency for the applicant or the program, if applicable, to support the requested indirect rate(s).

SECTION V APPLICATION REVIEW INFORMATION

1.0 In accordance with DoDGARS 22.315(c), an impartial peer review will be conducted.

All applications will be reviewed using the criterion listed below.

1.1 Criterion. The following criterion shall serve as the standard against which any response to this announcement will be evaluated.

1.1.1 Initial Review. The Government will perform an initial review to determine that the applicant is (1) eligible in accordance with Section III of the announcement; (2) all information required by Section IV has been submitted; and (3) all mandatory requirements are satisfied. Applications meeting all criterion in the initial review will be forwarded for Merit and Budget Reviews. The Contracting Officer will promptly notify applicants who fail the initial review.

1.1.2 Merit Review. Applicants in the merit review will be evaluated based on the applicant’s ability to meet the goals and objectives, identify key project personnel with the experience and qualification needed to execute the requirements, and demonstrate the ability to successfully and satisfactorily meet the requirements based on recent and relevant past performance.
