PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

A. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an Offeror being ineligible for award. Taking exception to any provision in the solicitation will render the proposal ineligible for award. Staples or other bindings shall not be used. Consolidated parts are acceptable provided tabs separate them. A cover sheet shall be included with in each submission, clearly marked as to title, RFP identification and the Offeror’s name.

The proposal in response to this solicitation shall consist of two (2) separate parts:

· Part I – Price Proposal

· Part II - Past Performance Information.

B. The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the contracting officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer’s opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional data will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition the contracting officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists, offerors may be required to submit other than certified cost or pricing data IAW FAR 15.403-3 to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine a fair and reasonable price.

C. Specific Instructions:

a. PART I – PRICE PROPOSAL – Submit one (1) hard copy

i. This section is to assist you in submitting pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness of your proposed price. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your proposal. Note that unrealistically low or high-proposed costs or prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or has submitted an unrealistic proposal. Additionally, unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject a proposal. Proposals should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed prices rests with the offeror.

ii. Complete blocks 12, 17 and 30 a, b, c of the RFP Section A, SF1449. In doing so, the offeror accedes to the contract terms and conditions as written in the RFP. This constitutes the model contract.

iii. Insert proposed unit and extended prices in Schedule B of SF 1449 – CONTINUATION SHEET for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN), including all option periods. All dollar amounts provided shall be rounded to the nearest dollar. All loaded labor rates shall be rounded to the nearest penny. The extended amount must equal the whole dollar unit price multiplied by the number of units. The proposal must be submitted for a base plus three (3) option years.

iv. Complete the necessary fill-ins and certifications in the applicable clauses in Section SF1449, 52.212-3, Alt I.

v. Information beyond that required by this instruction shall not be submitted, unless you consider it essential to document or support your price position. All information relating to the proposed price, including all required supporting documentation must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Price volume. Under no circumstances shall this information and documentation be included elsewhere in the proposal.

b. PART II – PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION – Limited to no more than 7 pages per contract listed. Only references for relevant past efforts/contracts are desired. Submit one (1) hard copy.

i. Quality and Satisfaction Rating for Contracts completed in the Past Three (3) years: Provide any information currently available (letters, metrics, customer surveys, independent surveys, etc.) which demonstrates customer satisfaction with overall job performance and quality of completed product for relevant past efforts/contracts (similar in scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires). In addition, explain corrective actions taken in the past, if any, for substandard performance and any current performance problems such as cost overruns, extended performance periods, numerous warranty calls, etc.

ii. Statement of Relevancy: Provide a complete description of the work involved to include dollar value. Include rationale as to why and how the acquisition meets the relevancy definitions for this acquisition.

iii. Teaming Arrangements: If a teaming arrangement is contemplated, provide complete information as to the arrangement, including any relevant and recent past performance information on previous teaming arrangements with same partner. If this is a first time joint effort, each party to the arrangement must provide a list of past and present relevant contracts. Past experience of one team member will be considered past experience of all team members for purposes of evaluation. Maximum 3 past performances allowed per team.

iv. Subcontractor Consent: Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime Offeror without the subcontractor’s consent. Provide, with the proposal, a letter from all subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to the release of their past performance information to the prime contractor. (See attached Sample Subcontractor Consent Letter)

a. Requirements of the RFP (CLINs and PWS) and government standards and regulations pertaining to the PWS.

b. Evaluation Factors for Award IAW FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items, of this RFP.
