252.204-7002 - Payment for Subline Items Not Separately Priced. Dec 1991

Section H - Special Contract Requirements

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

Failure to perform in accordance with PWS para 1.1.6 will result in the Government removing 2% from the total invoiceable amount of the Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) of the non-conforming site. The 2% removal will occur each month for each vacancy not filled after 60 days. Each month will be calculated based on the total awarded amount and will not change based on the new value and funded amount of the O&M CLINS.

The proration will begin on the 61st day and will be based on 2% of the monthly CLIN value divided by the number of days in the corresponding month and then multiplied by the number of days vacant in that month. All numbers will be rounded to the second decimal point. See Example 1 below.

Moving, hiring, or promoting personnel from one site to another will constitute a vacancy at the losing site and does not start the 60 day time period over again as this is not a gain in personnel to the contract, but a re-shuffle of personnel. See Example 2 below.

The total number of vacancies will be looked at for the entire contract and not per site, but the 2% will be reduced from the CLIN of the non-conforming site. The Government considers failure to maintain staffing at the proposed and incorporated staffing level an event of default and reserves all rights and remedies of default. In the event of a termination for default, the Government will assess these damages until the Government reasonably obtains performance of similar services. This removal is in addition to excess costs of repurchase under the termination clause.

Example 1:

The 61st day of an unfilled vacancy falls on the 10th day of a month containing 31 days. The vacancy is open for the rest of the month, which is equal to 21 days.

CLIN 000X value = $100,000.

2% of CLIN 000X = $2,000.

$2,000/31 days = $64.52 per day

$64.52 times 21 days = $1,354.92 will be removed from the appropriate CLIN.

Example 2:

Det 1 has two vacancies not filled within 60 days. 4% will be removed from the Det 1 O&M CLIN on the 61st day. The contractor moves one person from Det 3 to fill one vacancy at Det 1. 2% will continue to be reduced from the Det 1 O&M CLIN for one vacancy and 2% will be reduced from Det 3 O&M CLIN when the move of personnel occurs and a vacancy is now open at Det 3.

B. PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. General Instructions and Information. These instructions prescribe the format of proposals and describe the approach for the development and presentation of the proposed data. The offeror's proposal must be submitted in accordance with these instructions.

a. This solicitation is being conducted in accordance with FAR 15.3 Source Selection, the DoD Source Selection Procedures dated 31 March 2016, and AFFARS 5315.3 including Mandatory Procedures (MP) 5315.3 and Informational Guidance (IG) 5315.404-3.

b. Offers will be evaluated using the Factors and Subfactors in Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award.

c. The Government intends to award using the Technical/Price Tradeoff (TPT) approach. Technical proposals will be evaluated and assigned combined technical/risk ratings, which reflect the extent to which the proposal meets the Government's specified performance and capability requirements, considering risk in conjunction with any relative strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, and deficiencies associated with the proposed approach. The Government may award to a higher-priced offeror if it is determined by the Source Selection Authority (SSA) that the superior technical approach outweighs the price difference. It is the Government's intent to incorporate the Offeror's technical approach (GEODSS System Technical) in part or in its entirety, the Small Business Participation Commitment Document, and approved OCI Mitigation Plan (if applicable) into the contract as an attachment in Section J.

d. The offeror's proposal must include all data and information requested. A proposal that is sufficiently documented to support performance claims in a complete and orderly manner will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation. Any offeror who submits an incomplete package may be considered non-responsive. Non-compliance with the RFP may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award.

e. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and validation of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. The absence of such convincing rationale will adversely influence evaluation of the proposal. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.

Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not acceptable.

f. The proposal acceptance period is specified in Block 12, Section A of the solicitation (SF33). The Offeror shall make a clear statement in Section A that the proposal is valid 270 calendar days from receipt of offers. This period may be extended upon the mutual agreement of the Offeror and the Contracting Officer. By signing the SF33, the offeror agrees the above stated period.

g. Proposals shall not contain classified information.

h. Alternate proposals will not be accepted.

i. In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of unsuccessful proposals.

2. Format Instructions. This section provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. Each copy shall be complete in itself.

The proposal should include all of the information requested in the subparagraphs. Failure to do so may adversely affect the evaluation. A proposal that is sufficiently documented in a complete, orderly, and specific detailed manner will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation.

a. Proposal Copies and Binding. For ease of evaluation, the required proposal formats and extent of data are described below.

1) Binding. The original and each copy of the proposal will be separately bound in a standard loose-leaf, three-ring binder. The number of copies required is specified in Table 1 below. Elaborate format and binding are not acceptable. All binders will lie flat when opened. The cover and spine of each binder will clearly identify the offeror's name, RFP number, RFP title (i.e., GEODSS), and copy number (e.g., copy 2 of 6, 3 of 6, etc). The original for each binder will be clearly identified on the cover and the spine. All binders will allow for easy removal and replacement of pages.

2) Electronic Copies. The content and page size of electronic copies must be identical to the hard copies; if there is a discrepancy, the hard copy will take precedence. The electronic (softcopy) proposal shall be Microsoft Office 2010 compatible or later versions. The softcopy version of the proposal will be submitted on Digital Versatile Disk (DVD). Replacement disks will be required to update the final proposal resulting from any discussions and updates. Offerors are advised to perform a computer virus check prior to submission.

3) Proposal Organization, Number of Copies, and Page Limitations. Offerors' proposals shall consist of three (3) separate factors: Factor 1 - GEODSS System Technical, Factor 2 - Small Business Commitment, and Factor 3 - Price Documents. The titles and contents of each Factor should be as defined in this document, all of which shall be within the required page limits and with the number of copies as specified in the table below. Total page count will be based on the printed proposal submission. If exceeded, the excess pages will not be read or considered in the evaluation of the proposal, but will be removed and returned to the offeror.

D. PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. VOLUME 1 - GEODSS System Technical (Factor 1). GEODSS System Technical will be evaluated at the Subfactor level. Each of the 4 Subfactors will be assigned a combined technical/risk rating, as described in Section M. Using the instructions provided below and in consideration of the assessment criteria, provide as specifically as possible the approach you would use for accomplishing the technical requirements contained in Factor 1 - GEODSS System Technical. By your proposal submission you are representing that your firm will perform all the requirements specified in the RFP.

Performance or capabilities proposed above mandatory minimums may be incorporated in part or in its entirety into the contract. Submit your technical proposal for Factor 1 - GEODSS System Technical addressing the following:

a. GEODSS Optical SENSOR Operations and Support (Subfactor 1). Provide an approach for Government's Optical SENSOR Operations and Support performance requirements. Include a proposed monthly Operations crew schedule (using the Operations Crew Schedule format provided in Attachment 2, Tab 1, Ops Crew Schedule) demonstrating an approach to Optical SENSOR Operations and Support requirements without gaps in shift coverage or in fully qualified Operations personnel.

b. GEODSS Mission System Maintenance Management (Subfactor 2). Provide an approach for Government's Mission System Maintenance Management requirements. Include a proposed monthly Maintenance crew schedule (using the Maintenance Crew Schedule format provided in Attachment 2, Tab 2, Maint Crew Schedule) demonstrating an approach for the maintenance and repair of the GEODSS mission system without gaps in shift coverage or in fully qualified Maintenance personnel.

c. GEODSS Staffing (Subfactor 3). Provide an approach to the Government's requirements, as specified in the PWS. The approach shall provide a composition of the proposed workforce by site, showing labor category, Full Time Equivalents (FTEs), and associated number of hours to meet or exceed ALL Mission and Site requirements, including management, quality and administrative personnel, for the base period and all option years. Use the Staffing Matrix format provided (Attachment 3), and include labor category descriptions, position title, relevant experience, education, certifications, licensing, applicable security clearances, as well as responsibilities necessary to meet or exceed all Mission and Site Requirements. If cross-utilization of any position is proposed, the benefits derived from this approach shall be addressed and clearly describe how this will benefit the Government.

d. GEODSS Retention (Subfactor 4). Provide a tailored approach for each of the three GEODSS Detachments to recruit, train, incentivize and retain qualified personnel considering the unique challenges at each location.

2. VOLUME 2 - Small Business Commitment (Factor 2). The offeror shall submit a "Small Business Participation Commitment Document" which specifies the offeror's level of commitment to small business utilization in performance of this requirement. The Small Business Participation Commitment Document will be incorporated into the apparent successful offeror's Small Business Subcontracting Plan prior to award. Factor 2 - Small Business Commitment will be evaluated on an "acceptable/ unacceptable" basis as described in Section M, paragraph M.C.4. An offeror's proposal must receive an "acceptable" rating in order to be eligible for award. If your company is registered as a small business under NAICS 517919 in the System for Award Management (SAM), a Small Business Participation Commitment Document is not required and will be given a rating of "Acceptable". All other proposals must address the following:

a. A minimum quantitative requirement (MQR) of 15% of total contract cost for small business concern participation is required. (Total contract cost is defined as the cumulative total cost of all the exercised options).

For example, in the base period, before option year 1 is exercised, 15% of the total contract cost is 15% of the cost of the base period. Once option year 1 is exercised, 15% of the total contract cost is 15% of the total cost of the base period plus option year 1, and so on. The 15% calculation will be based on the cost of each option when it is exercised; subsequent additions to the contract cost during that year - i.e. IJOs - will not affect the 15% calculation.

Proposed Contract Value $

Minimum Quantitative Requirement (MQR) - Small Business Participation

(Including Small Business prime offeror's participation)

b. Signed teaming agreements in which each small business concern utilized as a teaming partner or subcontractor is specifically identified and formally committed to by name. The Small Business Participation Commitment Document will be incorporated into the contract upon award.

3. VOLUME 3 - Price Documents (Factor 3). The purpose of this factor is to provide information to the Government to determine price fair and reasonable.

a. Price Information. The CO has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition for this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the CO will review this determination and if, in the CO's opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. If at any time during this acquisition the CO determines that adequate price competition no longer exists, offerors may be required to submit information necessary for the CO to determine the price fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 15.403-5.

1) Insert proposed unit and extended prices in Section B of the solicitation for each Fixed Price Contract Line Item Number (CLIN), including all option periods, down to the subCLIN level, if applicable.

Offerors must propose on every contract line item, even if it is $0.00, in order to be considered for award. Phase-in CLINs will not be included in the total evaluated price.

2) The Government has established contract estimates for the Cost Reimbursable CLINs, under Section B of the solicitation. These numbers should not be adjusted by the offeror.

3) The Government shall incorporate all current and applicable Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) and Department of Labor Wage Determinations (WDs) into Section J of the RFP.

Do not escalate proposed out-year CBA labor rates. Subsequent option year CBA labor rates and associated costs shall not be escalated. Wage increase adjustments for subsequent option years will be made as authorized and in accordance with FAR 52.222-43 "Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Labor Standards

- Price Adjustment (Multiple Year and Option Contracts)" if and when terms of the applicable CBA change. At that time the contractor will be authorized to submit requests for equitable adjustments for subsequent option year increases if all applicable FAR clause requirements have been met.

4) Provide a summary page of the total proposed price for each CLIN, in the order listed in Section B of the solicitation, for phase-in, the base period, and each option year. All offerors must submit a fully completed SF-30 as well as the summary page using Attachment 4, CLIN Schedule Worksheet.
