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.

This Request for Proposal incorporates provisions’ and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition

Circular 2020-07. The NAIC code applicable is 336611.

Finally, the Contractor shall prepare a COVID-19 Prevention and Response Plan specific to this contract which details the Contractor’s prevention and response plans and procedures. This document shall be submitted after award but no later than the Arrival Conference.

(8) VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOC) REGULATIONS

(a) Contractors are required to comply with federal, state and local VOC compliance laws and regulations. Among other requirements, certain Contractors may also be required to operate pursuant to a Title V permit. The need for such a permit will depend on the provisions of the applicable state’s “State Implementation Plan” (SIP) and the type/quantity of the

Contractor’s regulated emissions, including VOCs. Certain SIPs may also mandate certain

Contractors to operate under the terms of a compliance plan intended to reduce VOC emissions.

(b) Contractors, therefore, must submit the following to the designated Port Engineer not later than two weeks after contract award:

1) Copies of any federal, state or local permits required and applicable to the use or application of VOCs at Contractor’s facility or offsite work places;

2) Copies of any compliance plans required and applicable to the use or application of VOCs at Contractor’s facility or offsite work places.

(9) SECURITY REQUIREMENTS:

A. For access to USCG Base Alameda, the contract shall have RAPIDGate credentials. All personnel that need access to the base, such as on-site personnel, subcontractors (including second and third-tier subcontractors) and suppliers will need RAPIDGate credentials. This process must be completed prior to the start of work. Therefore, the Contractor shall begin the RAPIDGate registration process no less than 45 calendar days before on-site work is to commence. For enrollment into the

RAPIDGate program for base access privileges, information can be found at www.rapidgate.com or by calling the RAPIDGate program at 1-877-727-4342. Please note that all costs associated with registration and participation in the RAPIDGate Program is at the sole expense of the contractor.

B. The Contractor shall provide a list of all on-site personnel, sub-contractors (including second and third tier subcontractors), and suppliers, to the contracting officer and Contracting Officer’s

Representative no less than 30 calendar days before on-site work is to commence. The Contractor shall update this list when changes occur and ensure all personnel satisfy base access standards, and have

RAPIDGate credentials.

C. Contractor personnel not listed and without RAPIDGate credentials may be denied access to the

Coast Guard Facility. Contractor personnel will be restricted to designated working areas. Any personnel violating this policy may lose access to the Coast Guard Facility. Contractor personnel shall have photo identification at all times while working on Coast Guard facilities. Special identification requirements may be needed to obtain the RAPIDGate credentials.

D. Contractor and delivery personnel may be required to present personal photo identification to gain access to a Coast Guard installation. Valid forms of identification are current passport or driver’s license that meet Real ID Act requirements. The Real ID Act of 2005 established minimum security standards for license issuance and production and prohibits Federal agencies from accepting, for certain purposes, driver's licenses and identification cards from states not meeting the Act's minimum standards.

Anyone requiring access to a military facility under this contract, to include subcontractors, who holds a driver's license from any state without approved licenses will be required to provide identification other than that driver's license to gain access. Government IDs annotated with "Federal Limits Apply" will not be accepted for access purposes. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that their personnel have federally acceptable personal photo identification and comply with any other requirements for base access. TWIC and DBIDS identification cards are not sufficient forms of identification for access to

Coast Guard Island, Alameda

E. If identification does not indicate United States citizenship, Coast Guard Security may require proof of the legal right to work in the United States. Contractor and delivery personnel also may be subjected to an immigration status and outstanding criminal warrants check.

F. Contractors shall provide the Contracting Officer’s Representative with 24 hours of advance notice of every delivery to the site (e.g. concrete, lumber, parts, etc) and provide the company name, delivery person. And phone number of the firm(s) making deliveries. All vehicle access to Government property requires vehicle registration and proof of liability insurance. Otherwise access to the Coast

Guard facility may be denied.

Production labor hours include only those hours necessary and reasonable to perform direct production functions and do not include the hours expended on the support functions listed above. This exclusion of support function hours applies whether such support functions are normally charged directly or indirectly by the Contractor's accounting system. These support functions are to be priced into the composite labor rate quoted and shall not be separately compensated.

(c) The Quantity of Composite Labor hours indicated in the Schedule of Supplies/Services, is only an estimate and is an Optional Item pursuant to this solicitation. The Estimated Quantity represents the Government’s best estimate of the total number of additional hours that may be required throughout the contract. The Government may elect to exceed this value at the prices stated in the schedule and its discretion during performance of the contract. The inclusion of this item does not obligate the Government to exercise the item nor entitle the Contractor to compensation if not exercised.
