SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

L-01 – INFORMATION TO OFFERORS (ITO) AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPOSAL PREPARATION

NOTE: All proposal preparation cost will be the sole responsibility of the Offeror. The Government will not reimburse any firm for their proposal preparation cost.

Period for acceptance of offers: The Offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm until 270 days after proposal due date.

1.0 General Instructions

(a) This section of the 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 the ITO and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. The offer shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the Statement of Work (SOW). Non-conformance with the instructions provided in this ITO may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation.

(b) The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity 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. 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.

(c) Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed art work, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired. Similarly, for oral presentations, elaborate productions are unnecessary and not desired.

(d) The proposal acceptance period is specified in the SF 1442, Section A, paragraph 13(D) of the model solicitation. The offeror shall make a clear statement in Section A of the proposal documentation volume that the proposal is valid through this date.

(e) 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 such unsuccessful proposals.

2.1 General Information

2.1.1 Point of Contact

Address any questions or concerns you may have to the CO or CA. Written requests for clarification may be sent to the CO or CA at the address located in Section A of the model solicitation.

2.1.2 Debriefings

The CO will promptly notify offerors of any decision to exclude them from the competitive range; whereupon, they may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR 15.505. Offerors excluded from the competitive range may request a pre-award debriefing or they may choose to wait until after the source selection decision to file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/JeffreyW.Voudren/Local%20Settings/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.Outlook/far/FAR15.DOC%23b15505 request a post-award debriefing. However, offerors excluded from the competitive range are entitled to no more than one debriefing for each proposal. The CO will notify unsuccessful offerors in the competitive range of the source selection decision in accordance with FAR 15.506. Upon such notification, unsuccessful offerors may request and receive a debriefing. Offerors desiring a debriefing must make their request in accordance with the requirements of FAR 15.505 or 15.506, as applicable.

2.1.3 Discrepancies

If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the CO in writing with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the offeror is asking the CO to consider as related to the omission or error. The offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion. This reservation includes matters of additional or substitute pages of the initial proposal.

3.1 General Instructions

3.1.1 Price Reasonableness and Realism

This section is to assist you in submitting information that is required to evaluate the reasonableness of your proposed Co-efficients. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your proposal. Note that unrealistically low or high proposed Co-efficients, 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 an offeror’s proposal. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed Co-efficients rests with the offeror.

3.1.2 Format and Specific Content

In the price proposal volume, the offeror shall provide the following information:

(a) Complete the SF 1442, Blocks 14, 15, 17, 19, 20A, 20B, and 20C. An official having the authority to bind your company contractually must sign and date the SF 1442 Block 30b. One copy fo the SF 1442 must bear an original, authorized signature. In doing so, the Offeror accedes to the contract terms and conditions as written in the RFP. All sections of the RFP, excluding Instructions to Offerors and Evaluation Procedures Sections, constitute the model contract.

(b) Bid Schedule – Insert Co-efficients in Section B on the SF 1442 Bid Schedule, for each Contract Line Item, including all option years Co-efficients. The Co-efficient shall be to the hundreths (i.e. 0.87).

(c) Acknowledge any and all amendments to the solicitation.

(d) Complete the necessary fill-ins and certifications in Sections I and K. Section K shall be returned in its entirety. For Section I, the Offeror shall submit only those pages that require fill-in.

3.1.3 Basis for Evaluation

The Government will evaluate each Offerors proposed price consisting of a Co-efficients for Standard Work Hours, Non-Standard Work Hours, and Controlled Work Areas. Three Co-efficients will be used for pricing of this contract. The Offerors rates can vary in the base and option periods. Offerors are to include a Co-efficient for each

CLIN for the base and each option period in Section B of the solicitation. Price evaluation will be conducted as follows:

(1) For evaluation purposes, it is assumed that an average of 40 SABER projects are awarded per year. Based on the contract maximum of $30M, the estimated aggregate total for these projects is $6M per year. The estimated CLIN amounts are as follows:

CLIN 0001: Standard Co-efficient - $4.2M

CLIN 0002: Non-Standard - $300K

CLIN 0003: Controlled Areas - $1.5M

(2) An offeror’s proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the Co-efficient by the government’s estimated CLIN amount shown in paragraph 3 below to reach the Total Evaluated Price, all Co-efficient dollar totals will be added together for each year CLIN 0001, CLIN 0002 and CLIN 0003. The Basic Year and Option

Years one (1) through four (4) Co-efficient dollar totals will be added together to identify each offeror’s overall price for the base year and all option years. All option years will be considered in determining the offeror’s price. Evaluation of options will not obligate the government to exercise the option(s).

(3) Total evaluated amount for the Basic Year Standard Co-efficient: (CLIN 0001 Co-efficient x

$4,200,000.00) = Total Evaluated CLIN amount for Basic Year. Total evaluated amount for the Basic Non-

Standard Co-efficient: (CLIN 0002 Co-efficient x $300,000) = Total evaluated CLIN amount for Basic Year.

Total evaluated amount for Basic Year Controlled Areas Co-efficient: (CLIN 0003 x $1,500,000.00) = Total

Evaluated CLIN amount for Basic Year. Total of Basic Year: (CLIN 0001) + (CLIN 0002) + (CLIN 0003) =

Total Evaluated amount for Basic Year.

Total of all years: (Total basic year) + (Total Option year One) + (Total Option year two) + (Total Option year three) + (Total Option year four) = Total Evaluated amount. The price evaluation will document for the offers evaluated under the reasonableness and affordability of the proposed total evaluated price.

4.0 Volume II - Technical Volume - Submit original plus one (1) electronic copy on CD-ROM.

4.1 General

5.1 General

Each offeror shall submit a past performance volume with its proposal, containing past performance information in accordance with the format contained in Attachment five (5) and six (6). Offerors are cautioned that the

Government will use data provided by each offeror in this volume and data obtained from other sources in the evaluation of past performance.

Along with the information required in this paragraph, the offeror shall submit a consent letter executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the offeror so the offeror can respond to such information. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter, authorizing release to the

Government of requested information on the offeror's performance.

5.2 Relevant Contracts

Submit information in accordance with Attachment six (6) Past Performance Information on a minimum of three (3) but not to exceed ten (10) of their most recent contracts that you consider most relevant in demonstrating your ability to perform the proposed effort. Recent past performance is defined as any relevant work completed within the past five (5) years to include on-going contracts. Past performance information on recent contracts performed by teaming partners and significant subcontractors may be included however the prime contractor’s past performance will be weighted as significantly more important than that of subcontractors. Include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance. For a description of the characteristics or aspects the Government will consider in determining recency and relevance, see Section M, Performance Confidence Assessment.

5.2.1 Specific Content

Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort and to what aspects of the proposed effort they relate. 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 is required to clearly demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming problems and the effects of those actions in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified.

This may allow the offeror to be considered a higher confidence candidate. For example, submittal of quality performance indicators or other management indicators that clearly support that an offeror has overcome past problems is required. Categorize the relevant information into the specific technical subfactors and Cost/Price factor used to evaluate the proposal.

The Offeror shall forward a copy of the past performance questionnaire to their most recent references, for whom the Offeror has contracted similar services with Federal, State, and Local Governments. If the Offeror does not have

Government references, the Offeror shall provide references from private industry sources that are not prohibited from furnishing information to the Government. The questionnaires must be forwarded to a verified point of contact at each of those agencies or business organizations for completion. Prior to forwarding the questionnaire to each reference, the Offeror shall complete the Section entitled “Contractor Information”. Offerors may include with their proposal information on problems encountered on the identified contracts and the Offeror’s corrective actions. The

Government will consider this information as well as information obtained from any other sources when evaluating the Offeror’s past performance information. The Past Performance Questionnaires completed by the Offerors reference sources and sent directly to the 2d Contracting Squadron in response to this RFP are not considered part of the Past Performance Volume 30 page limitation noted in Table 2.2 and paragraph 2.2.1.

A cover letter sent by the Offeror with the Past Performance Questionnaire should request the reference to complete the questionnaire and mail it to 2 CONS/LGCB, Attn: TSgt Jason Wilkin, 801 Kenney Ave, Suite 2301, Barksdale

AFB, LA 71110, Fax to (318) 456-4007, Attn: TSgt Jason Wilkin, or email to jason.wilkin@us.af.mil or marla.poirier@us.af.mil. Questionnaires must be received no later than the proposal due date. Offerors are responsible for ensuring their reference sources receive the questionnaires in time to complete and return the questionnaire to 2 CONS and be received no later than the proposal due date.

Offerors shall submit with their proposal a Reference List identifying all businesses and Federal, State, or Local

Government agencies for which the Offeror has been awarded a contract during the past five (5) years. If an Offeror has more than ten (10) awarded contracts during the past five (5) year period, then identify only the last ten (10) most recently awarded contracts. Identify on this list those who were forwarded questionnaires as outlined in paragraph (2) of this part. For each reference on the list of awarded contracts, identify the following:

(a) Contracting Agency/Customer

(b) Contract Number

(c) Contract type

(d) Project title and brief description of contract effort

(e) Period of performance

(f) Contract value at time of award

(g) Current value, including all changes and exercised options

(h) Contracting Officer’s name, address and telephone number
