SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

SECTION L - PROPOSAL 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, and technical requirements. 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. The response shall consist of two (2) separate parts: Part I – Price Proposal and Part II – Technical Proposal.

B. The Contracting Officer (CO) has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in 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 Federal Acquisition Regulation (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 CO to determine the reasonableness of the price.

C. The Government is soliciting two different options of the same project, in accordance with the Specifications (Attachment 1), Section 01 11 00, Paragraph 1.2.1. Depending on availability of funds, the Government will award one, and only one, of the options solicited, resulting in the award of a single line item.

In accordance with FAR 36.204(d), the magnitude of this project is between $250,000.00 and $500,000.00.

D. SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

1. PART I – PRICE PROPOSAL

(b) Insert proposed unit and extended prices in Section B for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN).

(c) Complete the necessary fill-ins and certifications in Sections I through K. Section K shall be returned in its entirety. For Sections F through J, the offeror shall submit only those pages that require a fill-in.

(d) A letter of authorization for the Contracting Officer to verify offeror’s financial responsibility.

Include name, address and phone numbers for financial institutions to include points of contact.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

A. SOURCE SELECTION

1. Basis for contract award: This is a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) Source Selection, conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation. This part supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), the Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS) and DoD Source Selection Procedures, Appendix C, dated 31 March 2016. These regulations are available electronically at the Air Force (AF) FARSite, http://farsite.hill.af.mil.

The Government will select the proposal with the lowest evaluated price from among those meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors. The award shall be made to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR Part 9.1, as supplemented, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by Section L of this solicitation) and is determined, based on the evaluation factors and sub-factors, to represent the lowest price technically acceptable proposal.

2. Number of contracts to be awarded: The Government intends to award one (1) contract to Repair Security Lighting and Fall Protection at South Tank Farm (STF), Project TSAX 17-1000. The award will be made to Option A (CLIN 0001) or Option B (CLIN 0002) described in the Specifications (Attachment 1), Section 01 11 00, Paragraph 1.2.1. Depending on availability of funds, the Government will award one, and only one, of the options solicited, resulting in the award of a single line item.

3. Exchanges: The Government intends to make the award without conducting exchanges with any offerors.

Nevertheless, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if, during the evaluation period, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to do so. The Government also reserves the right to conduct interchanges with some, all or none of the offerors.

B. EVALUATION FACTORS

1. Evaluation Factors and Sub-Factors: The following evaluation factors and sub-factors will be used to evaluate each proposal received in a timely manner. In this Source Selection, both factors are considered to have an approximately equal value.

FACTOR 1 – PRICE

All offerors must insert proposed unit and extended prices in Section B of the Standard Form (SF) 1442 for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN). All offerors must propose on all line items in Section B of the SF 1442.

The Government will evaluate the price of each CLIN/Option individually, since only one will be awarded. Offerors whose price is determined to be unreasonable, unbalanced, or unrealistic may not be considered for award.

Reasonableness: The offeror’s Price Proposal will be evaluated to ensure it is fair and reasonable, pursuant to FAR 15.404.

FACTOR 2 – TECHNICAL

The Government’s technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical proposals on an acceptable or unacceptable basis, assigning one of the ratings described below for each sub-factor, in accordance with the measures of merit described below. Any sub-factor evaluated as “Unacceptable” will render the entire proposal unacceptable and, therefore, make it ineligible for award. Only those proposals determined to be technically acceptable will be considered for award.

TABLE 1 - TECHNICAL RATINGS

Rating Description

ACCEPTABLE Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

UNACCEPTABLE Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

The Proposals shall be evaluated against the following technical sub-factors:

FACTOR 2, SUB-FACTOR 1 – STAFFING PLAN

CRITERIA: Offeror must provide proposed methodology to meet the staffing and manning requirements relating to the project described in the Specifications (Attachment 1). Furthermore, include an organization chart with all key personnel with a description of work experience relating to projects similar in scope to those expected to work with this project. The offeror’s proposal shall include, at a minimum, the following positions:

(a) Project Manager

MEASURE OF MERIT: This requirement is met when the offeror attests that they have a proposed methodology able to meet the Governments minimum requirements in the Specifications (Attachment 1) and provides an organizational chart identifying all key personnel associated with this requirement. At a minimum, offerors must provide information on the individual’s name, title, duty, years of experience, and experience level relating to similar projects in size and scope on the following key positions:

(a) Project Manager

FACTOR 2, SUB-FACTOR 2 – ALVARA CERTIFICATION

CRITERIA: Offeror shall furnish their Alvara Certification.

MEASURE OF MERIT: This requirement is met if the Alvara Certification is provided attesting that the offeror can conduct business in the country of Portugal using the scope and magnitude of this requirement.

C. AWARD PROCESS

1. The Government intends to award to the lowest priced offeror that meets the technical standards of this solicitation. The evaluation process will go as follows:

(a) The Government will evaluate all proposals for price, ranking the offerors from lowest to highest.

(b) The lowest priced proposal will then be evaluated for technical acceptability. The proposal must be rated “acceptable” in order to be considered for award.

(c) If the lowest priced proposal is “unacceptable”, the next second lowest priced proposal will be evaluated for technical acceptability. This shall continue until an offeror with an “acceptable” rating is identified.
