RFP #95332422R0001 – Solomon Islands THP Cross-Cutting Program Support (CCPS) Questions and Answers

The following questions were received before the deadline (April 14, 2022 at 2:00PM ET) in response to the solicitation:

# Question Response

1 Considering section H – Special Contract Requirements, paragraph B. on PSC and contract employee fitness: would the consultants employed by the contractor be required to access any of the following:

MCC Headquarters, MCCNet, SBU, FGI etc.? If yes, will any or all of the consultants be required to meet the requirement listed in the above-mentioned section?

MCC has determined that clause 52.204-70 – Security Requirements for Contractor Personnel under Section H of the solicitation does not apply to this requirement. As such, the clause is hereby deleted from the solicitation; see Amendment 0002.

2 Considering section B.6.4 of the solicitation, could you kindly clarify where the offeror should include the required job description for each labor category proposed? Is this section included in the technical proposal? How should the pricing table report upon these categories?

The offeror must follow all instructions as provided in Section L of the solicitation.

In accordance with the last bullet under section L.9.5, Volume II (Cost Proposal) shall include a “functional description of each proposed labor category, including essential and non-essential tasks, reporting relationships, minimum education and experience qualification requirements, etc. (see Item 4 under Section B.6).”

As a separate but related point, the Technical Proposal (Volume I) shall include the staffing plan and a description of the roles of each team member (in accordance with section L.8.6).

Each proposed labor category must be listed/itemized in the “Description” column of the pricing tables. Each labor category identified in the pricing tables must have an associated functional description in Volume II (Cost Proposal), and an associated role in the staffing plan presented in Volume I (Technical Proposal). See the enclosed sample pricing template below for an illustrative example of how to present the labor categories for each contract line item (CLIN).

3 Considering the request in section L.8.7 on past performance, which document can be considered as CPAR record for the purposes of this request? For instance, is the approval of final report (for example for EU projects) valid as a replacement of such requirement?

For past performance, the offeror must provide a narrative description of their experience in the matrix format presented in section L.8.7 and request the identified client reference to complete the past performance questionnaire (Attachment J.5). The questionnaire is completed by the client reference and provided directly to MCC. In lieu of the past performance questionnaire, offerors with previous

# Question Response relevant U.S. Government contracts may provide a completed CPAR record from the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) within the appendix to Volume I. Only official CPAR records are eligible as a substitute to the past performance questionnaire. However, at their discretion, offerors may submit additional past-performance-related information within the appendix to Volume I; MCC may or may not consider this additional information in their evaluation. Regardless of the official assessment method selected (questionnaire or CPAR), offerors must provide the four past performance matrices within Volume I of their proposal, as described in section L.8.7.

4 Considering section L.8.7. on the timeline for past projects: a project that started more than 5 years before the deadline but ended within this period would be considered a valid reference? Do past projects have to be closed or can they be still under implementation?

Yes, projects that ended within five (5) years of the proposal submission deadline are considered valid for the purposes of section L.8.7 (even if they began before the five-year period); projects that are still under implementation are also valid.

5 Can the submission of the Offeror’s proposal be done with more than 1 email?

In fact, it might be necessary to split the Volumes into more than 1 email to ensure safe submission (i.e. Volume 1: email 1/2;

Volume 1: email 2/2; Volume 2: email 1/3 etc.)

Yes, as necessary, splitting a proposal into more than one email is acceptable. However, it is the Offeror’s responsibility to confirm timely receipt of all submissions. Please review MCC 52.204-71 NOTICE OF MCC ELECTRONIC MAIL FILTERS (JUNE 2019) within section L of this solicitation.

6 Could you provide a template for the letter of commitment to be signed by Consultants presented by the Offeror?

Offerors may present the letter(s) of commitment using their entity’s format of choice. MCC does not have a template.

7 Is the renting of an office space be considered a valid ODC to include in the pricing document? Under which CLIN could it be included?

If the offeror proposes the need for office space rental, the cost should be included in the proposal as an ODC. The appropriate CLIN will be determined based on the task that the ODC is primarily supporting;

the costs may also be pro-rated across multiple CLINs as applicable. The task numbers and titles are included in the header of each price template table.

8 Considering the time limitation from the estimated date to receive the clarifications, would it be possible to postpone the submission deadline by 2 weeks?

The proposal deadline has been extended by three (3) weeks via Amendment 0001, to 2:00PM ET on May 20, 2022.

9 For roles with time home based and Solomon Islands, what would be in your opinion to time on the ground needed?

The offeror shall propose on-the-ground level of effort (LOE) based on the nature of the task(s), the team members’ roles on the project, experience with similar past projects, and the estimated LOE provided in section H.6 of the solicitation. Bottom line, offerors should propose the on-the-ground time they believe is necessary for successful project implementation.

10 Could you specify for which roles a definite consultant has to be presented at the time of the offer? Which roles and positions can be hired when the contract is being implemented? Could we present a pool of experts that we could mobilize for some positions? If yes, for which positions?

With respect to staffing, MCC prefers as much information as possible. CVs (and letters of commitment, if applicable), are required for Key Personnel (Program Manager, In-Country Representative, and Lead Facilitator) at the time of offer submission; however, to the extent possible, MCC prefers CVs for all proposed team members, especially those providing higher levels of effort. For non-key positions, it is acceptable to present a pool of experts that could be mobilized as needed; however, offerors should explain whether/how these experts are expected to be available for the role(s) when called upon. See Amendment 0002 for revisions to the last bullet point under section L.8.6.

Please note that evaluation sub-factor 1 (section M.2.1) will be assessed based on the specific information provided on team/staff qualifications.

Proposals with less specific information may be assigned a lower rating, though not necessarily.

11 Work Statement Section C of the solicitation provides reference to MCC ALTIF project and FoVEP working in targeted provinces. For example, FoVEP PES program is not expected to involve sites in more than two provinces. Can MCC please advise what are the targeted provinces for both the ALTIF project and FoVEP, or the provinces under consideration if not yet selected?

For ALTIF, Western Province has already been selected, with an additional province or provinces to be determined during implementation. For FoVEP, the site selection process will occur during implementation; no sites have yet been determined.

12 In Solicitation section B.2 Funding Type the funding sources are tabled for this contract. Can MCC please provide the rough percentage (%) split of total funds across each of the funding sources?

Following is the distribution of the total estimated contract cost across all funding sources identified in section B.2. These figures reflect the total estimated value of each funding source as a percentage of the total estimated contract value, including all contract periods:

- Land Project (ALTIF): 59%

- Forest Project (FoVEP): 16%

- Monitoring & Evaluation: 4%

- Program Administration: 21%

13 Please confirm that only the CVs of the Key Experts need to be presented within the proposal.

See the response to Question 10 above.

14 Please confirm if commitment letters need to be presented only for the Key Experts and what CV templates should be used.

In accordance with section L.8.6 Staffing, Letters of Commitment are required for Key Personnel only.

There are no CV templates; offerors may use their format of choice. Both CVs and letters of commitment must be included in the appendix to Volume I.

*Note: Letters of commitment for key personnel are only required if the proposed individual is not a current employee of the prime offeror (e.g., if the proposed key person is an independent consultant, an employee of a proposed subcontractor, etc.).

15 Is there a page limit for the CVs of the Key Experts?

In accordance with section L.7. Page Limits, “résumés, CVs, letters of commitment (if applicable), additional past performance matrices and Contractor Performance Assessment Reports (CPARs) may be included in an appendix to the Technical Proposal without a page limit.”

16 With regards to section L.8.7 on the past performances of the offeror to be included in the Proposal, could you please confirm if presented past performances matrices can be supported by certificates of implementation/completion issued directly by the Contracting Authority instead of Past Performance Questionnaires or CPAR records? The certificates presented will include information such as title of the project, period of implementation, overall budget and budget successfully implemented by the Contractor. Could you please confirm that these certificates can be included in the Appendix to Volume I?

See the response to Question 3 above.

17 In section B.6.2 of the RFP there is a table with budget lines. We would like to clarify the following: Should we consider these amounts as maximum amounts for the activities in the referenced period? For instance, for the base period, there will only be provision of 308,382 USD (ALTIF = 221,192 USD + SIG Travel 87,190 USD). Are these amounts to be considered as a maximum budget including labor cost and ODCs? In our financial proposal should we identify the labor and ODCs for each CLIN without going beyond the maximum given amount? Please confirm that our understanding is correct.

The amounts provided in section B.6.2 are plug numbers* for the specific ODC referenced in the first column of the table. These should not be considered maximum/ceiling amounts for a particular CLIN or contract period – only for that particular ODC associated with that particular task. For example, the ALTIF Technical Assistance plug number (associated with Task 8 in Section C) is only one of the potential ODCs to support the Facilitated Governance Reform – ALTIF CLIN (X001), which encompasses Tasks 1–8.

There may be other labor and ODC costs required to perform CLIN X001 (FGR – ALTIF), with technical assistance ODCs being just one of those line items.

Please see the sample pricing template below for an illustrative example of how to apply the plug numbers.

*Note: As explained in the pre-proposal webinar, ‘plug numbers’ are estimated dollar figures provided to offerors for contract activities that may vary widely in scope; offerors may use these figures to capture uncertainties for price proposal purposes.

18 H.6 of RFP: In this section there are indications of FTEs. Can you please confirm that 1 FTE is 160 working hours per month? For how many months should we consider this level of effort throughout the life of the project? For instance, in the section dedicated to FGR, when indicating the LoE of the Lead Facilitator and the Co- Facilitators of 1.5-2.0 FTEs, shall we consider this LoE for all the months of the intervention (12 months each year)?

Yes, 1 FTE is roughly equivalent to 160 working hours per month, or 40 hours per week. The estimated level of effort can be assumed, on average, for all the months of the intervention. While some months may require fewer hours, on average, MCC anticipates the LOE as stated in Section H.6 of the solicitation. Also, as discussed during the pre-proposal webinar, “1 FTE” (for instance) need not be interpreted as one individual – it may comprise a group of individuals whose LOE collectively amounts to the equivalent of 1 FTE (i.e., 160 working hours per month for 12 months).

19 If we intend to submit a proposal in association with another company, could you please clarify how this composition should be shown in the offer? Do we have to explicit this in the Cover Letter? Does an Agreement between the parties have to be included?

The offeror shall propose their technical approach and provide all the information they determine will be important to demonstrate their capability to accomplish the objectives of this requirement. The cover letter or executive summary should mention any prime/sub or teaming arrangements, and a more detailed presentation of the organizational structure, staffing plan, and management approach should be included in the technical proposal (Volume I) in accordance with section L instructions. The subcontract agreement does not need to be provided.

Given this guidance, the following sections of the solicitation are hereby modified (see Amendment 0002):

The first bullet point under section L.8.6 Staffing is modified as follows (changes bolded/underlined):

- Describe the staffing plan and the roles of each team member, indicating which members will travel to Solomon Islands and which members are based locally (i.e., in Solomon Islands). The staffing plan must include a presentation of the team’s organizational structure and a description of how the prime contractor will manage the team’s work across the various contract activities, including how they will manage a consortium of consultants/partner organizations (if applicable).

Section M.2.1, Sub-Factor 1: Team and Key Personnel Qualifications is modified as follows (changes bolded/ underlined):

M.2.1. Sub-Factor 1: Team/Key Personnel Qualifications and Management Approach

The Government will evaluate the extent to which the offeror’s proposed team meets the required/preferred team and key personnel qualifications (per Section H.5) and generally possesses the required skills to execute each task in Section C – Statement of Work.

Additionally, the Government will evaluate the effectiveness of the offeror’s proposed staffing plan and management approach.

20 If we intend to submit a proposal in association with another company, does the member partner have to be registered in the System for Award Management, or do they need to provide any administrative item, to be included in Volume II – Cost Proposal? If so, can you please confirm which ones?

All prime contractors are required to have an active System for Award Management registration.

Subcontractors may also register and request a Unique Entity ID (UEI) in SAM.gov, but this is not required for proposal purposes. If the prime is required to report on subcontracting dollars, subcontractors will need a Unique Entity ID starting in April 2022 – which may be obtained via SAM.gov without undergoing the full registration process.

21 Could you please confirm that an offeror is not required to register at this stage (i.e., Request for Proposal phase) in CPARS and that it’s sufficient to provide in the proposal the CPARS Contractor Representative?

Yes, that’s correct. There is no need to register in CPARS at this stage; the identity of the offeror’s CPARS representative is sufficient for proposal purposes.

Basic contract information, including the identity of the successful offeror, will be registered in CPARS within 30 days of contract award.

22 Could you please clarify what is Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NICRA)? Is it applicable to a European offeror?

A NICRA is a formal agreement between a company and its cognizant U.S. Government agency (i.e., the agency representing its largest share of U.S.

Government funding), documenting the agreed-upon estimated indirect rates for a given time period. The NICRA reflects the indirect costs (facilities and administrative costs) and fringe benefit expenses incurred by the organization that will be applied consistently across all agencies of the United States Government. Following are a few relevant resources:

NICRA Basics Guide for Indirect Cost Determination

Note that offerors are not required to have a NICRA for the purposes of this solicitation. However, if they do have one, it should be included within Volume II of their proposal.

23 As indicated at page 106 – Section L, the Volume II Cost Proposal shall also contain the representations and certifications indicated in Section K. Could you please confirm if the section K text has to be entirely included in Volume II Cost Proposal but the offeror has to fill in only the Representations paragraphs applicable to it and to the specific solicitation, as per given instructions?

Only the applicable paragraph(s) must be included within Volume II – Cost Proposal; however, at their discretion, offerors may choose to include the full text of the provision(s).

24 As regard Section K, clause 52.212-3 (page 79 of the Request for Proposal), if an Offeror has completed the annual representations and certification electronically in the System for Award Management, could you please clarify if we have to delete paragraph (c) through

(v) of the provision, and keep only paragraph (b)?

Yes, that is correct. If the Offeror has completed the annual representations and certifications electronically in the System for Award Management (SAM), the Offeror only needs to complete paragraph

(b) of the provision; in this case, paragraphs (c) through (v) may be deleted.

25 Considering the current difficult situation caused by the COVID-19 which implies unprecedented disruptions of working conditions that are affecting the finalization of the proposal, we would like to request an extension of the deadline of at least 3 more weeks for the submission of the offer in order to allow bidders to prepare a higher quality proposal.

The proposal deadline has been extended by three (3) weeks via Amendment 0001, to 2:00PM ET, May 20, 2022.

26 Is there an organizational conflict of interest (OCI) that would prevent a company interested in another MCC requirement from being eligible to submit an offer? Alternatively, could the company submit a mitigation plan with a proposal submission, or would it not be necessary?

MCC will not examine vendor-specific OCI issues ahead of the proposal deadline. If an offeror believes they have an OCI — or the appearance of an OCI — the offeror must submit a proposed mitigation plan as part of their proposal submission, which MCC will consider during the evaluation process. OCI issues will be examined based on the specific facts surrounding each potential conflict. Further, please see MCC 52.209-70 Organizational Conflicts of Interest:

Preclusion from MCC Due Diligence Contracts, incorporated via Amendment 0001 to the solicitation.

27 Page 1-2 “Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Items” mentions that the offeror must complete blocks 12, 17, 23, 24, & 30. Does this mean we have to attach these pages 1-2 in the proposal with only fill in the details for mentioned numbers? Is this SF 1449?

Yes, in accordance with the first bullet point under section L.9.5, the signed/completed SF-1449 (page 1 of the solicitation) must be included within Volume II of the proposal. Note that the signed SF-30 (page 1) for all solicitation amendments (or written acknowledgement of such amendments in a cover letter) must also be included in Volume II.

28 (a) Are there any documents to be completed/included/produced from Section I contract clauses (page 65 of the solicitation) on FAR clauses that apply to this acquisition, or is this section simply being subject to review?

(b) Is it correct that Section K (pp. 75-96) of the solicitation is to be filled out and included in the submission?

(a) The FAR clauses in Section I are part of the terms and conditions of the solicitation and eventual contract. They should be reviewed and any exceptions should be noted in the offeror’s proposal.

(b) Yes, in Volume II of the submission. Please see the responses to Q23 and Q24 for additional details on this topic.

29 Section B mentions item numbers along with the base periods for tasks (0001- 0005). Then, there are item numbers (1001-1006 (that includes the optional blended finance)) followed by 2001-2006 up to 4001-4006. Is it correct to understand that these tables indicate the

Yes, that is correct. Section F.1 details the anticipated period of performance for each contract period, which ties to the contract line item numbers (CLINs) referenced in Section B as follows:

- Base Period: August 1, 2022 – July 31, 2023 (CLINs 0001-0005) timeline on which activities should be performed?

- Option Period 1: August 1, 2023 – July 31, 2024 (CLINs 1001-1006)

- Option Period 2: August 1, 2024 – July 31, 2025 (CLINs 2001-2006)

- Option Period 3: August 1, 2025 – January 22, 2026 (CLINs 3001-3006)

- Option Period 4 (Closure): January 23, 2026 – April

22, 2026 (CLIN 4001)

30 Since item numbers 1001 onwards are labelled as “option period”, does this mean the offeror is free to choose whether to bid for the base period only or for the total duration of the project (4 years)?

Offerors are expected to propose on the total duration of the project. Option periods will be exercised at MCC’s discretion in accordance with FAR 52.217-9 Option to Extend the Term of the Contract on page 73 of the solicitation.

31 On section C under C.3.1 “Implementation Partners” and C.3.2 “evaluation partners” it is mentioned that the implementation of the project will involve 6 organizations. (a) Does this mean the offeror can choose which activities they would like to participate in (instead of the whole CCPS program procured as 1)? (b) Is it possible that 1 consortium to be awarded for all 6 activities? (c) Is it correct to submit 1 submission package to bid for all 6 activities (for the whole CCPS program)?

Implementation of the entirety of MCC’s Program with the Solomon Islands will involve six (6) organizations.

Of these, one will be the CCPS contractor – the subject of this procurement action. We expect one award for the CCPS contract that covers all activities/tasks discussed in section C.5 of the solicitation. This award could certainly be to a consortium of organizations led by one prime contractor.

32 On section C.2.2.2 it is mentioned that “MCC expects to procure a second organization (the subject of this procurement) to facilitate …….”. What does this indicate? Does MCC expect the implementation partner to establish a new organization, or does this simply imply that MCC will contract an organization (offeror) to implement the FoVEP project?

The “second organization” referenced in this section is the CCPS contractor, which will be selected via this solicitation. The first implementation partner referenced in this section is an international non-governmental organization that will implement the FoVEP PES Activity, with whom the CCPS contractor will coordinate closely.

33 Is it correct that section H on “contractor NDA” is only to be provided after the program is ongoing?

Yes, that is correct. Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) will be requested from the successful contractor after award.

34 On section L page 97 regarding submission of offers it’s mentioned that offers must include Acknowledgement of Solicitation Amendments. Could you refer us to any template/ example/ documents?

See the response to Q27 above. The SF-30 that comprises the first page of each solicitation amendment should be signed and submitted within Volume II of the proposal. In lieu of a signed SF-30, the offeror may provide written acknowledgement of the amendment(s) in a cover letter.

Please note the instructions in Block 11 of the SF-30:

“Offers must acknowledge receipt of this amendment prior to the hour and date specified in the solicitation or as amended, by one of the following methods (a) By completing items 8 and 15, and returning copies of the amendment; (b) By acknowledging receipt of this amendment on each copy of the offer submitted; or

(c) By separate letter or telegram which includes a reference to the solicitation and amendment numbers. FAILURE OF YOUR ACKNOWLEDGMENT TO

BE RECEIVED AT THE PLACE DESIGNATED FOR THE

RECEIPT OF OFFERS PRIOR TO THE HOUR AND DATE

SPECIFIED MAY RESULT IN REJECTION OF YOUR OFFER.

If by virtue of this amendment you desire to change an offer already submitted, such change may be made by telegram or letter, provided each telegram or letter makes reference to the solicitation and this amendment, and is received prior to the opening hour and date specified.”

35 On page 102 there are paragraphs on “exclusion of quotes” that are crossed by red lines. Are those something to dismiss?

Yes. MCC provision 52.213-70 Exclusion of Quotes and Pre-Award Communications with Offerors (JUNE 2019) was formally deleted via Amendment 0001 to the solicitation.

36 Please kindly elaborate further on what “Contract type: Time and Materials” means.

A time-and-materials (T&M) contract provides for acquiring supplies or services on the basis of: (1) Direct labor hours at specified fixed hourly rates that include wages, overhead, general and administrative expenses, and profit; and (2) Actual cost for materials.

See FAR 16.601 Time-and-materials contracts for additional information, including the formal definitions of “hourly rate” and “materials” for the purposes of T&M contracts.
