The following have been modified:

SECTION L

INFORMATION TO OFFERORS & INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPOSAL PREPARATION

1. PROGRAM STRUCTURE AND OBJECTIVE

1.1. The Government intends to award a single Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering (SABER) contract for Eglin Air Force Base. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions with Offerors.

Awarded contract will be for a Base Year and four (4) one year Option periods.

2. GENERAL INFORMATION

2.1. This section of the Instructions to Offerors (ITO) provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. The Offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested by this ITO and be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Non-conformance with the instructions provided in the ITO may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation.

2.2. Proposals shall be complete, clearly presented, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation as detailed in Section M of this solicitation and for substantiating validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements but rather provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of the Offeror’s facilities and/or experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror's proposal.

2.3. Elaborate artwork, expensive paper/binding, and expensive visual and other presentation aids are neither necessary nor desired.

2.4. The proposal acceptance period is specified in Block 13, SF 1442, of this solicitation. By signing block 20B of the SF 1442, the Offeror certifies that the proposal is valid from the due date and time listed in block 13A through the entire period specified in block 13D.

To mitigate the risks associated with the cancellation of this solicitation due to untimely submission of questions, Offerors are encouraged to submit all questions and requests for clarifications no later than close of business ten (10) days prior to the solicitation closing date. The decision whether to respond to questions and requests for clarification made less than ten (10) days prior to the solicitation closing shall be at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer (CO). If an Offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the Offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the

Offeror is asking the Contracting Officer to consider as related to the omission or error. Offerors shall submit questions/request for clarifications to the below points of contact:

Contract Administrator: Kristina B. Brannon, kristina.brannon.1@us.af.mil

If you are unable to access the base or denied access to Eglin AFB, FL, the proposal will need to be mailed sufficiently in advance to permit delivery by the deadline. Contracting Office personnel will not meet Offerors at the gate nor will they arrange for temporary access to Eglin AFB. Please plan accordingly.

3.3. Any proposal, modification, or revision, that is received at the designated Government office after the exact time specified for receipt is late and will not be considered unless the Contracting Officer determines the criteria set forth in FAR 15.208 exists.

3.4. All referenced documents for this solicitation are available on the Federal Business Opportunities website at www.fbo.gov. Potential Offerors are encouraged to subscribe for real-time e-mail notifications when information has been posted to the website for this solicitation.

3.5. The Government reserves the right to revise or amend the specifications, drawings, or the solicitation prior to the proposal closing time. Such revisions or amendments will be communicated by amendments to the Request for Proposal (RFP) and posted in Federal Business Opportunities website (www.fbo.gov). If such amendments require material changes in quantities or prices, the proposal closing date may be postponed.

In such cases, the amendment will include an announcement of the new closing date and time. Offerors MUST acknowledge all amendments in their proposal, either by completing SF 1442 Block 18 or by providing signed copies of the amendments with their proposal.

However, Offerors excluded from the competitive range are entitled to no more than one debriefing. The Contracting Officer will notify unsuccessful Offerors in the competitive range of the source selection decision in accordance with FAR 15.506.

VOLUME III – PAST PERFORMANCE (FACTOR 2)

Offerors shall submit one (1) original and two (2) hard copies.

VOLUME III PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME

TAB #1

Completed Past Performance Information Sheet Attachment T: See paragraph A below.

Ensure the primary points of contact for references are currently available to provide Past Performance information on attached questionnaire (Attachment U)

Electronic copy may be scanned but must be legible; electronically-generated and -signed documents are preferred.

TAB #2

Summary Sheet of Past Performance: See paragraph B below.

Explain what aspects are deemed recent and relevant as related to the requirements of this solicitation. Expound on how many projects were being performed simultaneously, provide their dollar values, and reference their complexity.

2 pages per Past Performance reference

TAB #3

Adverse Information (if any): See paragraph C below. Electronic copy may be scanned but must be legible; electronically-generated and -signed documents are preferred.

TAB #4

Organizational Structure Change History (if any): See paragraph D below. Electronic copy may be scanned but must be legible; electronically-generated and -signed

A. Past Performance Information Sheet: Offerors shall complete Attachment T, Past Performance Information Sheet. Offerors shall provide Past Performance information on completed or current contracts (including Federal, State, Local Government and private) that demonstrates their ability to perform the proposed work as identified within the solicitation. Offerors shall submit information on up to five (5) recent and relevant contracts from the Offeror that demonstrates the Offeror’s ability to execute the requirements as specified in the solicitation.

Definitions of recent and relevant contracts are in Section M of this solicitation. The Offeror shall ensure the reference completing the questionnaire furnishes it directly to the Government in accordance with the instructions on the questionnaire.

(1) Offerors shall complete Part A, B, and C of Section 1- Contract Identification of the Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment U), and forward to their respective past performance references and instruct them to complete the remaining portions of the questionnaire and return to the point of contact identified on page 1 of the questionnaire.

(2) Lack of any Past Performance will not automatically disqualify an Offeror. However, it is a factor that is considered in the subjective tradeoff technique described in Section M. If the Offeror claims there is no Past Performance, then that status must be identified to the Contracting Officer not later than the date and time proposals are due from all Offerors.

B. Past Performance Summary Sheet: Provide a summary of the previous contracts described above, not to exceed two (2) pages of Past Performance information per reference. The summary shall explain what aspects of each contract are deemed recent and relevant as related to the requirements of this solicitation and in accordance with Section M, and how many projects were being performed simultaneously. Failure to provide required relevancy description may impact the confidence rating. Past Performance Information shall not exceed two (2) pages per reference and shall include the following:

Name of project (Contract number, if applicable)

Name and address of customer or Government agency

Name, telephone, fax number and/or email of customer contact or Contracting Officer

Dollar value

Period of performance/Completion date

Brief description of work performed, and why the effort is relevant

Brief description of the number, value and complexity of projects worked simultaneously

Comments regarding any known performance deemed unacceptable to the customer, or not in accordance with the contract terms and conditions

C. Offerors shall provide any adverse information they received in the past three (3) years, such as Letters of Concern, Cure and or Show Cause Notices, Terminations for Cause/Default and a narrative explaining the circumstances resulting from its receipt and corrective actions taken, if applicable. This may include a discussion of efforts accomplished by the Offeror to resolve problems encountered on prior contracts as well as past efforts to identify and manage program risk. Merely having problems does not automatically equate to a limited or no confidence rating, since the problems encountered may have been on a more complex program, or an Offeror may have subsequently demonstrated the ability to overcome the problems encountered. The Offeror shall clearly demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming problems and the effects of those actions, in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified. Submittal of quality performance indicators or other management indicators that clearly support that an Offeror has overcome past problems is required.

D. Organizational Structure Change History: Many companies have reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant past efforts or between the conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what Past Performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, Offerors shall include a "roadmap" describing any/all such changes in their organization. A pamphlet or other commercial document describing such reorganizations may suffice. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts identified for Past Performance evaluation/ performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider Past Performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the Offeror(s), the "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts identified, yet general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.

VOLUME IV – PRICE (FACTOR 3)

Offerors shall submit Original and two (2) hard copies.

VOLUME

IV

PRICE VOLUME

TAB #1

Prices (Coefficients)

Offerors shall complete the spreadsheet at Attachment O, Pricing Schedule by inputting their proposed coefficients for each CLIN for the Base and all Option Years. The spreadsheet will automatically calculate the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) that will be utilized in the Price evaluation.

A. The Price (coefficient) is the Offeror’s pricing factor that is multiplied against the Unit Price Guide (UPG) unit Prices in calculating task order (TO) Prices. It is reflected as a percentage increase (e.g., 1.10) or decrease (e.g., 0.95) to the UPG. The Price (coefficient) is to be inclusive of all costs incurred during the performance of each Task Order. See paragraph 1 of the SABER Master Statement of Work for more information.

B. The Contracting Officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate Price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial proposals, the CO will review this determination and if, in the CO's opinion, there is adequate Price competition, no additional Price information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However if, at any time during this competition, the CO determines that adequate Price competition no longer exists, Offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the Contracting Officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the Price.

6. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INSTRUCTIONS AND EVALUATION

Your attention is directed to the functional relationship between Sections L and M of this solicitation. Section L provides information for the purpose of organizing the proposal and is not intended to be all inclusive. Section M describes evaluation factors for award. The Government evaluation of proposals will cover areas identified in Section M, proposals should address all such areas of evaluation.

6. SOLICITATION REQUIREMENTS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors.

Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

7. AMENDMENT OF SOLICITATION PRIOR TO CLOSING

The Government reserves the right to revise or amend the specifications, drawings, or the solicitation prior to the proposal closing time or after. Such reservations or amendments will be communicated by amendments to the Request for Proposal (RFP) and posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website (www.fbo.gov).
