USCG STATION (STA) SAN DIEGO (45682) FY 2022 DRYDOCK REPAIRS

(i) This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

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 at 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. This will not preclude re-filing of the protests to meet the requirement. 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 forwarded to the address below:

(vi) The United States Coast Guard (USCG) has a need for a Contractor to complete a commercial availability for USCG STATION (STA) SAN DIEGO (45682) to include all work items identified in the REV-1 Specification dated, 18 OCTOBER 2021 and any approved growth work discovered during this availability. This solicitation will establish a Firm Fixed Price Contract with the selected offeror utilizing simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13.

(a) The Contractor shall furnish all necessary labor, material, services, equipment, supplies, power, accessories, facilities and such other things as are necessary, except as otherwise specified, to perform dry-docking repairs and alterations to the vessel, in accordance with this solicitation and attached specifications.

(b) Failure to read the specifications in their entirety will not relieve the quoter from the responsibility for properly estimating the difficulty or price of successfully performing the work. Failure to do so will be at the quoter’s risk.

(c) All responsible sources may submit a quotation, which if timely received, shall be considered by the Agency.

Companies must have valid DUNS number and be registered with System for Award Management (SAM) www.acquisition.gov and shall provide the company Tax Information Number (TIN) with their offer.

(vii) The USCG requires a period of performance of SIXTY-FOUR (64) calendar days with a start date on or about 02 FEBUARY 2022 and a projected end date on or about 06 APRIL2022. Place of performance will be at a USCG Certified Contractor provided facility located within the geo-restricted area.

Geographic Restriction: Geographic Restriction in accordance with PACAREAINST 3100.1G - the vessel will be restricted to an area no greater than 400 nautical miles from its location at USCG STATION (STA) SAN DIEGO (45682), 2710 N. HARBOR DRIVE, SAN DIEGO, CA 92101 along a route where fuel and berthing services are available.

(viii) The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial (JUN 2020), applies to this acquisition.

1) Pricing: The offeror shall submit pricing by filling out the Schedule of Supplies and Services on page 2 of this solicitation. Offeror shall honor pricing for ninety (90) calendar days.

2) Past Performance: The offeror is responsible for ensuring that Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) are completed and submitted on at least three (3) different government (federal, state, or local), private or commercial contracts that have been awarded to the offeror. The Offeror shall send Past Performance Questionnaires to points-of-contact (i.e., past performance evaluators) at government, private or commercial entities that have firsthand knowledge of contracts completed within the past 3 years or ongoing and are relevant to this requirement (i.e., the same or similar requirement). Only one Past Performance Questionnaire shall be completed per contract and the same person cannot complete more than one Past Performance Questionnaire. (A Past Performance Questionnaire shall not be completed by a point of contact/employee of a prime contractor that your company worked for as a sub-contractor or your company’s parent or sister company.)

Each past performance evaluator shall submit a completed Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) directly to the Contract Specialist, Regina Elliott-Dougherty via e-mail to Regina.ElliottDougherty@uscg.mil by the “Closing Response Date”, unless extended by a solicitation amendment. An Offeror shall not complete the Past Performance Questionnaire on behalf of a past performance evaluator nor shall they forward a completed PPQ to the Contract Specialist. (The PPQ shall be forwarded to the Contract Specialist from the past performance evaluator’s e-mail address.)

It is the offerors responsibility to ensure that questionnaires are being submitted on their behalf.

The Government may require other than cost and pricing data to assist in determining the extent to which the price is fair and reasonable and the pricing information shall be provided if requested. The Government will evaluate proposals for award purposes by adding the total of all CLIN prices to ensure that pricing is not unbalanced.

(viiii) The provision at 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items (Oct 2014), applies to this acquisition.

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation by evaluating proposals using a tradeoff process to determine the best overall value. All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are approximately equal to price. Award will be made without conducting discussions, although discussions may be held if the Government determines that they are needed. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Technical

Offerors shall demonstrate an understanding of the requirements as described in the specification, and shall include sufficient documentation to provide evidence of that understanding, to include written summary and confirmation that items provided are in accordance with the specifications, drawings, photos, warranty information to meet the specifications and the RFP.

The Government will evaluate the technical factor for technical acceptability ONLY, which includes:

1) meeting the minimum requirements of the specification. Any response that does not provide this information may be considered non-responsive and be removed from further consideration for award.

The following adjectival ratings will be assigned to the Technical factor:

RATING DESCRIPTION:

ADJECTIVAL RATING DESCRIPTION

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation and specification.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation and specification.

2. Price

Vendor’s price shall represent the best price in response to the RFP. The price shall be evaluated to determine fairness and reasonableness. Vendors are required to provide prices for all items/CLINs in accordance with the Schedule of Supplies/Services.

2.1 Price Reasonableness

Price analysis techniques may be used to further validate price reasonableness. If adequate price competition is not obtained or if price reasonableness cannot be determined using price analysis of Government obtained information, additional information will be required to support the proposed price.

3. Past Performance

The Government will review the Vendor’s Past Performance record in Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) for those projects that are similar in nature, size and complexity as this requirement, performed or completed within the last two years. In addition the Government will also review responses to past performance questionnaires.

Past Performance refers to the quality of recent project experience from the customer’s perspective. The Offeror shall arrange for the reference customer point of contact for two projects to fill out the Past Performance Questionnaire included with this solicitation. Ensure the reference is clearly marked for the applicable Offeror when submitted. The Government will not release the questionnaire forms to the Offeror at any time, in order for the Government to solicit candid, unbiased responses and comments.

These references must be relevant to the work which will be performed in this contract. Relevant work is defined as inspection, maintenance, repair/refit, testing, storage, and transportation services as detailed in the Specification. References must be recent within the past 3 years.

The past performance questionnaire contained herein must be provided to two references. The references need to complete and submit the questionnaire directly to Regina Elliott-Dougherty via email at Regina.ElliottDougherty@uscg.mil.

The following adjectival ratings will be assigned to Past Performance:

One (1) roundtrip from the boat’s current moorage, USCG STATION (STA) SAN DIEGO, 2710 N.

HARBOR DRIVE, SAN DIEGO, CA 92101 to the contractor’s place of performance.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(End of provision)

3) PLANNING DOCUMENT: The offeror shall submit a legible Planning Document with their proposal that is written in accordance with SFLC Standard Specification 0000.

The Contractor shall make reasonable arrangements with the Government or Contractors of the Government, as shall have been identified and authorized by the Contracting Officer, to be given admission to the Contractor's facilities and access to the vessel(s) and to office space, work areas, storage or shop areas, or other facilities and services, necessary for the performance of their respective responsibilities and reasonable to their performance.

In the event the Contractor effects any such change at the direction of any person other than the Contracting Officer, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and no adjustment will be made in the contract price to cover any increase in cost incurred as a result thereof.

(6) INSPECTIONS

Records of all inspection work by the contractor shall be kept complete and available to the Government during the term of this contract and for such longer period as may be specified elsewhere in this contract.

(7) MAINTAINING, REPORTING, AND DISPOSING OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY IN THE

PERFORMANCE OF A SHIP REPAIR CONTRACT

1. The Government Property Clause incorporated by reference delineates the contractor's overall responsibility when taking possession of government property in performance of a contract. In performance of this contract the contractor will be required to properly identify, track and control property within its possession. This includes, a) property furnished by the government (GFP) to the contractor in conjunction with specific CLIN Items. These items and their values are listed in the specification, b) property that is pre-existing in a location that during the course of performance will be replaced or renewed.

2. The items listed in the specification, as government furnished property will be provided in the quantities designated. Government furnished property may be provided in person by an official Coast Guard employee, shipment via commercial carrier, etc. The contractor shall sign for all government furnished property using either a DD Form 1149, entitled, “Requisition and Invoice/Shipping Document” or a DD Form 1348, entitled, “Issue Release/Receipt Document”. A copy of the DD 1149 or DD 1348 must be sent within 48 hours of receipt of property, to the designated Government Property Administrator. The name of the individual assigned as Property Administrator will be furnished to the contractor at time of award. The contractor shall not take receipt of property that is not listed in the specification, has not been previously identified as becoming part of the contract (via contract modification) or which otherwise cannot be identified. Such irregularities shall be immediately reported to the Property Administrator.

3. The contractor shall complete the report provided herein, entitled, “Government Property Report”. This report is intended as a living document whereby relevant fields shall be filled in, maintained and kept current at all times. All property described in paragraph 1 (a, and b) above shall be reported on the report. At contract completion the contractor and the Property Administrator shall ensure that all fields are appropriately completed.

A signature block is provided at the end of the report for both parties to attest to the report's accuracy and completeness. The Government Property Report shall clearly delineate the complete track that all government property took over the course of the contract. This completed report must accompany the contractor's final invoice. Final payment may be delayed, without penalty of interest, until such time as the report is received. A separate copy of the completed report and any final DD 1149s or DD 1348s executed, as a result of carrying out disposition instructions shall be provided to the Property Administrator.

4. Pursuant to the Government Property Clause the authority to render disposition instructions of Government property associated with this contract is delegated to the Property Administrator. The contractor shall comply with all instructions in the contract for the return of government property to the Coast Guard. This includes government property taken off the vessel (shafts, propellers, etc.), government property returned to the vessel (special tools, etc.) or surplus government property not used during performance of the contract.

The name and telephone number of the U.S. Coast Guard Inspector will be provided after the award of a contract resulting from this solicitation.

(8) GROWTH WORK

(a) The Contractor shall not perform growth work without the Contracting Officer's authorization. Growth work is work within the scope of the contract, which has not been previously priced as a pre-priced CLIN. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to contract for growth work on the basis of a negotiated, firm, fixed price, when it is in the best interest of the Government. If a firm-fixed price contract is awarded, and during the performance period a repair within scope is identified but the Contracting Officer and Contractor are unable to agree on the cost of the work, a bilateral modification may be incorporated into the contract using a Time and

Materials modification for this specific repair. In this situation, FAR 52.212-4, Alternate I, (OCT 2018) will be incorporated.

(b) The Contractor shall furnish a price breakdown directly to the Contracting Officer, itemized as required by the Contracting Officer, of any proposal submitted for a contract modification. Unless otherwise directed, the breakdown shall be submitted on an MLCA 002 proposal form provided at the arrival conference permitting an analysis of all materials, labor, equipment, subcontract, overhead costs, and profit covering all work involved in the change/modification whether such work was deleted, added or changed. Any amount claimed for subcontracts shall be supported by a separate, similar price breakdown. If the proposal includes a request for a time extension, justification shall be furnished with the proposal.

(c) This clause is to be used in conjunction with the clause COMPOSITE LABOR RATE incorporated into this solicitation. The Contractor is required to have and/or furnish all tools and equipment incidental to each bench trade. Supplies such as wiping rags, hacksaw blades, sandpaper, welding wire, helium, etc., are also to be furnished by the contractor. Other materials are to be charged at regular rates and prices currently in effect and as agreed to by the Contracting Officer. Material shall be best commercial quality available except where a precise specification is indicated in which case the specification shall apply, e.g., MILSPEC, FEDERAL SPEC.

(9) COMPOSITE LABOR RATE:

The composite labor rate offered shall be the sole labor hour rate used to price the prime contractor's direct labor hours for contract changes, i.e. growth work. The contractor shall not receive any compensation in addition to this rate for the prime contractor's direct labor associated with such changes under this contract.

(a) The composite labor hour rate shall represent total compensation for the following:

(1) direct labor wages and salaries;

(2) all employee benefits including, but not limited to, paid leave, supplemental pay, insurance, retirement, savings, and legally required benefits;

(3) other direct costs associated with transit time, delay, disruption, expendable supplies, and equipment;

(4) all indirect costs such as overhead and general and administrative expense;

(5) any port or association fees, rents, or other levies;

(6) profit (fee); and

(7) all direct and indirect costs and profit associated with the following support functions:

Supervision and Management Planning and Estimating Material Handling Housekeeping Engineering Transportation/Drivers Quality Assurance Contract Administration Security Testing

(b) The composite labor hour rate will be applied to production labor hours only. 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.

(10) METHOD OF PAYMENT AND INVOICING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SHIP REPAIR

The Government will make payment under this contract based on a percentage or stage of completion. The contractor may invoice each contract line item/CLIN as work progresses. The amount invoiced shall be calculated based on those prices stipulated in the contract Schedule of Supplies/Services as follows:

An item/CLIN may not be invoiced until the percentage complete reaches 25 percent. Future invoices for that item/CLIN have no limitation as to the percentage of completion required before invoicing. (The minimum percentage of completion (25%) to be reached prior to billing each item/CLIN may be waived by the Contracting Officer on a case by case basis for large dollar items/CLINS.)

Invoices submitted by the contractor which are deemed not proper, in accordance with FAR clause, 52.212-4 will be returned.
