F. EVALUATION AND BASIS OF AWARD – In accordance with the procedures in FAR

13.106 Soliciting competition, evaluation of quotations or offers, award and documentation. 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 based on overall assessment of technical capability of the items offered to meet the Government’s need, price, and past performance. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

All quotes submitted will be evaluated for (1) Technical Acceptability, (2) Satisfactory Past Performance & (3) Price.

1). Technical Acceptability- is defined as the capability to provide the service as specified in this solicitation and the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS), and the ability to meet or exceed the specified delivery schedule.

To be determined Technically Acceptable Offerors Shall Submit the following with their quote package:

A one-page narrative documenting their capability to provide the service specified in accordance with the Performance Work Statement. The offeror shall include a description of means of accomplishment demonstrating the Offeror has a clear and complete understanding of the solicitation requirements, or any other documentation necessary for the government to make a determination of technical acceptability of the service quoted. Failure to submit a one-page narrative does not render an offeror ineligible for award.

Also, Offerors Shall Submit, with their quote a project delivery schedule/date and certify with their quote that they are capable of completing delivery on or before XXXXXX (Date to be provided by offeror).

2). Satisfactory Past Performance- A review of past performance will be conducted on this requirement.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) using all CAGE/Unique Entity Identifier numbers identified in the offeror’s proposal, and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

3). Price – Price Reasonableness will be determined by competitive quotes or offers. The Government may reject any proposal that is determined to be Not Fair and Reasonable, unrealistically high or low in price when compared to Government estimates, or are unbalanced, such that the proposal is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the requirements.

STATEMENT OF WORK

Statement of Work (SOW) Ensley Engineering Yard

USACE Barges 6601 and 6602 Foam Fill

Description of Work

General: This is a service contract to have the USACE Barges 6601 and 6602 filled with an expanding marine floatation foam. The aging barges are located at Ensley Engineering Yard (EEY) in Memphis, TN. The 6601 barge is 30 feet wide, 130 feet long, and has a 6-foot maximum draft. The 6602 barge carries the same width and draft but is only 100 feet in length. There is a metal building attached to the 6601 barge that spans two-thirds of the deck and serves as an office space and storage while the 6602 barge has a clear deck with one small storage shed at one end.

Currently, the 6601 barge requires constant pumping to stay afloat, the 6602 barge only requires periodic pumping.

The Government is scheduled to place both vessels on dry-dock for cleaning and applying an epoxy material inside the hull to repair some of the worst leaks prior to the foam filling operations. The barges will then be secured along the string-out for foam installation unless placement on dry-dock is deemed necessary by the selected Contractor. If the Contractor requires vessels to be on dry-dock, that requirement must be included in their offer in order for the Government to ensure dry-dock availability prior to commencement of work. Site visits, if desired, can be scheduled prior to submitting an offer. Pictures are also available upon request.

Description of Work: The work consists of furnishing all plant, labor, materials, and equipment to successfully fill both barges with an expanding marine flotation foam having a closed cell density of at least 98%. All work will conform to all applicable local, state, and federal codes.

Scope: The scope consists of furnishing all plant, labor, materials, and equipment to successfully perform all the work described above. The Contractor will assess the structure of each barge and determine whether any additional attachment points are necessary to allow for optimum conditions for foam application. Once agreed on by the Contractor and the Government, the Contractor will install said attachment points and prepare the barges for foam application. The Contractor will then install the foam into the interior of the barges to a depth of four (4) feet ensuring that the foam is at or above the draft depth of the barges when normally loaded. The foam installation will be required to maintain access to certain valves and/or mechanical/plumbing systems, including but not limited to Marine Sanitation Devices (MSD), which may be present within the foam installation area.

Period of Performance: The successful contractor shall be required to commence work within 30 calendar days after the receiving the notice of award. The period of performance will be 25 working days.

Type of Contract: The Government shall award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Purchase Order.

***Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($16.20 per hour) or 13658 ($12.15 per hour). Please see the Note at the top of the wage determination for more information. Please also note that the minimum wage requirements of Executive Order 14026 and 13658 are not currently being enforced as to contracts or contract-like instruments entered into with the federal government in connection with seasonal recreational services or seasonal recreational equipment rental for the general public on federal lands.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors, applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is the victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:

HEALTH & WELFARE: $4.98 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $199.20 per week or $863.20 per month

HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $4.57 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $182.80 per week, or $792.13 per month*

*This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA-covered contract also covered by EO 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for any paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706.

VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor, 3 weeks after 8 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (See 29 CFR 4.173)

HOLIDAYS: A minimum of eleven paid holidays per year: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans'

Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (A contractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4.174)

THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE

FOLLOWING:

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: This wage determination does not apply to any individual employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity, as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. (See 41 C.F.R. 6701(3)). Because most Computer Systems Analysts and Computer Programmers who are paid at least $27.63 per hour (or at least $684 per week if paid on a salary or fee basis) likely qualify as exempt computer professionals under 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(1) and 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(17), this wage determination may not include wage rates for all occupations within those job families. In such instances, a conformance will be necessary if there are nonexempt employees in these job families working on the contract.

Job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry, and are not determinative of whether an employee is an exempt computer professional. To be exempt, computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements must also have a primary duty that consists of:

(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional specifications;

(2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and related to user or system design specifications;

(3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer programs related to machine operating systems; or

(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).

Any computer employee who meets the applicable compensation requirements and the above duties test qualifies as an exempt computer professional under both section 13(a)(1) and section 13(a)(17) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. (Field Assistance Bulletin No. 2006-3 (Dec. 14, 2006)). Accordingly, this wage determination will not apply to any exempt computer employee regardless of which of these two exemptions is utilized.

2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you work at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differential and receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am.

If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of your regularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sunday premium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime (i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is considered overtime work).

** HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL **

An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordnance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordnance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powder and photoflash powder.

All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operations on sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving re-grading and cleaning of artillery ranges.

A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity to ordnance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of the employee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and the like;

minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used. All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordnance, explosive, and incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition.

** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **

If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract (either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the following standards as compliance:

The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day).
