5.0 Performance Summary (Metrics)

5.1 This section describes the metrics used to measure contractor schedule and performance.

Circumstances or external influences beyond the control of the Contractor that impact the ability of the Contractor to meet performance standards will not affect Contractor performance measurements.

The following metric applies to each of the following measuring criteria:

Criteria: A percentage will be calculated as follows:

To receive a score of +1 or exceeds standard, will be assessed if the contractor maintains a percentage greater than 95% of maintenance checks completed.

To receive a score of “0” or meets standard, the contractor must maintain a percentage of 95%- 85% of maintenance checks completed.

To receive a score of “-1”, or unacceptable will be assessed if the contractor meets less than 85% of the scheduled maintenance checks completed.

5.1.1 Maintenance Schedules: The Government will track schedule impacts and work closely with Contractor to mitigate schedule risks. If the government demonstrates that the contractor has caused a schedule delay resulting in NCG1 not meeting the monthly maintenance schedule, this will be reflected in the performance score for that month. This metric applies to each month of the year and will also be measured against the maintenance schedule for entire year for an overall score.

5.1.2 Performance Report: The Performance Report will evaluate the contractor on the criteria described above and the assigned score of either positive (+1), neutral (0), or negative (-1) will be reported to the NCG1 CoC The POC shall mediate any dispute regarding the maintenance schedule scores, and their decision shall be final. Should the Contractor fail to provide the POC with written notice of dispute within 10 calendar days upon receipt of the applicable score, the Contractor will be considered to be in agreement with the score. Written notice may be in the form of an email.

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFEROR

The government intends to award a single Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract resulting from this solicitation to a capable vendor. It will be awarded competitively, using price and other factors under FAR Part 13.

The nature of this contract is for a non-personal services for Small Craft Subject Matter Expert and Maintenance Technician at Port Hueneme, CA.

All proposals must fully-comply with these instructions and address all solicitation requirements to be eligible for award. As such, proposals that take exception to any term or condition of this solicitation, propose any additional term or condition, or omit any required information, may not be considered for award. Alternate proposals are not authorized and will be rejected.

Each initial offer should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure that there are no discrepancies presented within the information contained in its offer.

Potential Offerors are hereby notified that in the event there are discrepancies within the information received by the Government, or in comparison to Government information provided in the solicitation, the Government reserves the right to apply its judgment to resolve such discrepancies during the evaluation of the proposals without conducting discussions.

An Offeror’s proposal is presumed to represent the Offeror’s best efforts to comply with the solicitation requirements. Clarity and completeness of the proposal are of the utmost importance. The proposal must be written in a practical, clear, and concise manner. It must use quantitative terms whenever possible and must avoid qualitative adjectives to the maximum extent possible. Proposal volumes must be internally consistent or the proposal may be considered unrealistic, precluding further consideration for award. The offer should be complete as submitted and not include references to data or information previously submitted. Data previously submitted to the Navy, if any, will not be incorporated “by reference” into the offer and will not be considered in the evaluation of the proposal.

The proposal must demonstrate that the Offeror understands all requirements in the Statement of Work (SOW). It must demonstrate the Offeror’s familiarity with the detailed aspects of the requirements, and clearly show that the Offeror correctly interpreted all of the requirements. Offerors are cautioned against restating SOW requirements in their proposal, particularly with regard to technical requirements and must state how all requirements will be met. Statements such as "the Offeror understands" and "the Offeror shall/can comply," along with responses that paraphrase the SOW, are inadequate. The use of phrases such as "standard practices" (with a specific government reference or industry reference) does not indicate that an Offeror understands the requirements and will likely result in a diminished evaluation rating.

At the Government’s discretion, the Contractor’s proposal may be incorporated into the final contract, either in whole or in part.

Alternate proposals are NOT authorized and will be rejected.

The Government reserves the right to conduct discussion if the Contracting Officer deems it necessary.

Offerors that take exception to the Government’s technical requirements in the technical volume will not be considered for award; therefore, any exception to the Government’s technical requirements must be resolved prior to the solicitation closing date.

To be considered eligible for award, each Offeror must submit a single proposal that contains a complete and accurate response to the requirements of this solicitation. The Government will accept only one offer.

Any inconsistency, within the price proposal or between the technical or price proposals, should be fully explained, or it may be considered a discrepancy within the offer and a risk in the Offeror’s ability to perform, which may affect the acceptability rating of the proposal. The proposal shall be in the format prescribed by, and shall contain a response to each of the areas identified in “Instructions to Offeros.”

Offers will be evaluated on each of the following evaluation factors:

Factor I – Technical Factor II - Past Performance Factor III – Price

Factor I - Technical Grading Criteria

Factor I, represents minimum acceptable criteria. Offerors’ technical information will be used to determine whether the services proposed meet the specifications included in this solicitation. Services offered, as provided in Offerors’ technical information, will be evaluated as technically acceptable or technically unacceptable. Offers which are determined to be technically unacceptable will not be considered further for award. Offerors must be rated technically “Acceptable” for each sub-factor listed above to receive an overall technically “Acceptable” and in order to be evaluated for Past Performance (Factor II). Failure to meet technically acceptable standards in any sub-factor may result in a finding of technically “Unacceptable” and will not be considered for award.

Rating Description Acceptable Proposal meets requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation.

Factor II: Past Performance Grading Criteria

The Offeror shall list no more than three relevant contracts and/or subcontracts (not limited to Government contracts) within the last five years that demonstrate the ability to handle requirements of the same scope, magnitude and complexity to that which is detailed in the SOW. Relevancy shall be based on the type of tasks performed, and complexity. Include a discussion of how the references provided are relevant to the work being proposed.

Past performance will be rated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis using the ratings in Table M-2 below.

Overall Rating Definition

Acceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below including Neutral.)

Unacceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

NOTE: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

Aspects of Past Performance Evaluation. The past performance evaluation results is an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements.

Sources of Past Performance Information for Evaluation are as follows:
