SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

1.0 PROGRAM STRUCTURE AND OBJECTIVES

1.1 Budget/Funding Information

A Firm Fixed Price Requirements contract will be awarded in accordance with FAR 16.202 and 16.503. The use of an requirements contract allows the Government to issue task orders to the Contractor as work is identified and funding procured. Award will be made without a specific project identified.

2.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

a) The offeror's proposal must include all data and information requested by this 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 or 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.

d) The proposal acceptance period is specified in Section A of the model contract/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

The Contracting Officer (CO) or the Contract Administrator (CA) will be points of contact for this acquisition.

Address any questions or concerns you have to the CO or CA. Written requests for clarification may be sent to the CO or the CA at the address located in Section A and Section G of the model contract/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 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 requirement 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 discussions. This reservation includes matters of additional or substitute pages of the initial proposal.

2.1.4 Electronic Reference Documents

All referenced documents for this solicitation are available on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website at https://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.

2.1.5 Communications

Exchanges of source selection information between Government and offerors will be controlled by the CO. Email may be used to transmit such information to offerors only if the email can be sent and received encrypted and includes “Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 & 3.104” in the Subject line. Otherwise, source selection information will be transmitted via USPS, FedEx, UPS, or pick-up by local representative. In order to facilitate the sending and receiving of encrypted emails, offerors must use MS Outlook email configured to support encryption or a different email product that is S/MIME compatible and configured to support encryption. If you intend to submit your source selection information via encrypted email, you will need to contact the Contracting Officer indicated on the face page of the solicitation prior to that first submittal in order to exchange certificates used for encryption. To insure the process is working correctly, send a test encrypted message first (without including any source selection information).

2.2 Organization/Number of Copies/Page Limits

The offeror shall prepare the proposal as set forth in the Proposal Organization Table (Table 2.2 below). The titles and contents of the volumes shall be as defined in this table, all of which shall be within the required page limits and with the number of copies as specified in Table 2.2. If hard copy proposals are sent, each volume, identified in Table 2.2, shall be separately bound in three-ring, loose-leaf binders, as necessary. If proposals are sent via email, one email will be sent containing all required documents. Each volume shall be in its own file, labelled accordingly.

Email size is limited to 5MB. If email is expected to be over 5MB, contact the CO/COR for further instructions.

The contents of each proposal volume are described in the ITO paragraph as noted in the table below:

Table 2.2 - Proposal Organization

I 3.0 Executive Summary 3 3 II 4.0 Technical 3 20 III 5.0 Past Performance 3 3 pages per contract IV 6.0 Price 3 N/A V 7.0 Contract Documentation 3 N/A

2.2.1 Page Limitations

Page limitations shall be treated as maximums. If exceeded, the excess pages will not be read or considered in the evaluation of the proposal and excess paper copies will be destroyed or returned to the offeror (if requested) as soon as practicable. Page limitations may be placed on responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs). The specified page limits for EN responses will be identified in the letters forwarding the ENs to the offerors. Each page shall be counted except the following: Cover pages, tables of contents, tabs, glossaries, or resumes.

2.2.1.1. Page Size and Format

a) A page is defined as each face of a sheet of paper containing information. When both sides of a sheet display printed material, it shall be counted as two pages. Page size shall be 8.5 x 11 inches, not including foldouts. Pages shall be single-spaced. Except for the reproduced sections of the solicitation document, the text size shall be no less than 12 point. Tracking, kerning, and leading values shall not be changed from the default values of the word processing or page layout software. Use at least 1 inch margins on the top and bottom and ¾-inch side margins. Pages shall be numbered sequentially by volume. These page size and format restrictions shall apply to responses to ENs. These limitations shall apply to both electronic and hard copy proposals.

b) Legible tables, charts, graphs and figures shall be used wherever practical to depict organizations, systems and layout, implementation schedules, plans, etc. These displays shall be uncomplicated, legible, and shall not exceed 11 by 17 inches in size. Foldout pages shall fold entirely within the volume, and count as a single page.

Foldout pages may only be used for large tables, charts, graphs, diagrams and schematics not for pages of text.

For tables, charts, graphs and figures, the text shall be no smaller than 8 point. These limitations shall apply to both electronic and hard copy proposals.

2.2.2. Pricing Related Data

All pricing information shall be addressed in the Contract Documentation volume, in Section B of the Schedule of the RFP and Attachment 2, Bid Schedule.

2.2.3. Cross-Referencing

To the greatest extent possible, each volume shall be written on a stand-alone basis so that its contents may be evaluated with a minimum of cross referencing to other volumes of the proposal. Information required for proposal evaluation which is not found in its designated volume will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal.

2.2.4. Indexing

Each volume shall contain a more detailed table of contents to delineate the subparagraphs within that volume. Tab indexing shall be used to identify sections. Table of contents do not count against the page limitations for their respective volumes.

2.2.5. Glossary of Abbreviations and Acronyms

Each volume shall contain a glossary of all abbreviations and acronyms used, and with an explanation for each.

Glossaries do not count against the page limitations for their respective volumes.

2.2.6. Binding and Labeling

If hardcopy proposal sent, each volume of the proposal should be separately bound in a three-ring, loose leaf binder permitting the volume to lie flat when open. Staples shall not be used. A cover sheet should be bound in each book, clearly marked as to volume number, title, copy number, solicitation identification, and the offeror's name. The same identifying data should be placed on the spine of each binder. All unclassified document binders shall have a color other than red or other applicable security designation colors. Be sure to apply all appropriate markings including those prescribed in accordance with FAR 52.215-1(e), Restriction on disclosure and use of data, and FAR 3.104-4, Disclosure, Protection, and Marking of Contractor Bid or Proposal Information and Source Selection Information.

2.3. Electronic Offers

The content and page size of electronic copies must be identical to the hard copies. For electronic copies, indicate on each CD the volume number and title. Use separate files to permit rapid location of all portions, including subfactors, exhibits, annexes, and attachments, if any. The offeror shall submit volumes I through V in electronic format, using recordable CDs. Each volume shall be in a different directory on a CD. If files are compressed, the necessary decompression program must be included. In the event that hard copies and electronic copies of a proposal are submitted and if there are any discrepancies between the hard copies and the electronic copies of the proposal, the hard copies will be used for evaluation.

2.4. Distribution

The "original" proposal shall be identified. Proposals shall be addressed to the CO and mailed or hand carried to:

90th Contracting Squadron 7505 Barnes Loop, Building 208 Francis E. Warren AFB, WY 82005-2860 Solicitation Number: FA4613-17-R-0002

3.0. VOLUME I – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In the executive summary volume, the offeror shall provide the following information:

3.1. Narrative Summary

The narrative summary of the entire proposal should be concise, to include addressing the significant risks, and highlighting any key or unique features, excluding price. The salient features should tie in with Section M evaluation factors/subfactors. Any summary material presented here shall not be considered as meeting the requirements for any portions of other volumes of the proposal.

3.2. Table of Contents

Include a master table of contents of the entire proposal.

4.0. VOLUME II - TECHNICAL

4.1. General

The Technical Volume should be specific and complete. Legibility, clarity, and coherence are very important. Your responses will be evaluated against the Technical subfactors defined in Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award.

Using the instructions provided below, provide as specifically as possible the actual methodology you would use for accomplishing/satisfying these subfactors. All the requirements specified in the solicitation are mandatory. By your proposal submission, you are representing that your firm will perform all the requirements specified in the solicitation. It is not necessary or desirable for you to tell us so in your proposal. Do not merely reiterate the objectives or reformulate the requirements specified in the solicitation.

4.2. Format and Specific Content

4.2.1. Technical

In the technical volume, address your technical solution for meeting the Government’s minimum performance or capability requirements of each technical subfactor.

4.2.2. Volume Organization

The Technical volume shall be organized according to the following general outline:

(1) Table of Contents

(2) List of Table and Drawings

(3) Glossary

(4) Subfactor

4.2.3. Subfactor

The Offeror shall provide current applicable certification(s) or license(s) for installation, testing, and repair of Galvanic and Impressed Current Cathodic Protection systems IAW applicable Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado regulations.

5.0. VOLUME III – PAST PERFORMANCE

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 5. This information is required on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners who are proposed to perform 25 percent or more of the proposed effort based on the total proposed price or perform aspects of the effort the offeror considers critical to overall successful performance. 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. See Attachments 6 & 7 for sample letters.

5.2. Relevant Contracts

Submit information in accordance with Attachment 5 on five (5) recent contracts that you consider most relevant in demonstrating your ability to perform the proposed effort. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

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 an unacceptable past performance evaluation 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. 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 Price factor used to evaluate the proposal.

5.2.2. Organizational Structure Change History

Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or 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 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, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company. 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 you identify 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), your "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.

6.0. VOLUME IV – PRICE

6.1. General Instructions

6.1.1. Price Reasonableness

This section is to assist you in submitting information other than certified cost or pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness and balance of your proposed cost/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 an offeror’s proposal. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness and balance. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed prices rests with the offeror.

6.1.2. Price Data

Data beyond that required by this instruction shall not be submitted, unless you consider it essential to document or support your price position. All data 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 data and documentation be included elsewhere in the proposal.

6.1.3. Cost or Pricing Data Requirements

In accordance with FAR 15.403-1(b) and 15.403-3(a), data other than certified cost or pricing data may be required to support a determination of price reasonableness. Data shall be provided in accordance with FAR 15.403-5. If, after receipt of proposals, the CO determines that there is insufficient data available to determine price reasonableness and none of the exceptions in FAR 15.403-1 apply, the offeror shall be required to submit additional cost or pricing data.

6.1.4. Rounding

All dollar amounts provided shall be rounded to the nearest dollar. All loaded labor rates shall be rounded to the nearest penny.

6.2. Volume Organization

The Price volume shall consist of the following sections:

SECTION 1 Table of Contents; summary descriptions of estimating, purchasing, and accounting systems;

changes to estimating, accounting practices, or Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) Disclosure Statement.

SECTION 2 Data other than certified cost or pricing data, to include estimating methodology.

SECTION 3 Other information such as Government Furnished Property/Government Furnished Equipment

(GFP/GFE), base support, long lead costs, termination costs, development/production schedule, inflation rate summary and explanation, and special tooling/test equipment. List each exception to the ground rules and assumptions provided in the solicitation and each qualification of the Price volume, if any. Provide complete rationale for any exceptions.

7.0. VOLUME V – CONTRACT DOCUMENTATION

7.1. Model Contract/Representation and Certifications

The purpose of this volume is to provide information to the Government for preparing the contract document and supporting file. The offeror's proposal shall include a signed copy of the Model Contract, and Sections A through K.

7.1.1. Section A – Solicitation/Contract Form

Completion of blocks 14, 15, and 16 of Section A and signature and date for blocks 20B and 20C of the SF1442.

Signature by the offeror on the solicitation constitutes an offer, which the Government may accept. The "original" copy should be clearly marked under separate cover and should be provided without any punched holes.

7.1.2. Section B – Supplies or Services and Prices

Insert proposed unit and extended prices in Section B for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN). Ensure the total dollar amount entered for each CLIN matches the dollar amount totals on the corresponding CLIN’s bid schedule (Attachment 2). The extended amount must equal the whole dollar unit price multiplied by the quantity. Complete and return the Bid Schedule and Schedule B in its entirety.

7.1.3. Sections C through K

Complete the necessary fill-ins and certifications in Sections I through K. Section K shall be returned in its entirety.

For Sections C through I, the offeror shall submit only those pages that require a fill-in.

7.2. Exceptions to Solicitation Requirements

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors.

Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. Each exception shall be specifically related to each paragraph and/or specific part of the solicitation to which the exception is taken. Provide rationale in support of the exception and fully explain its impact, if any, on the performance, schedule, price, and specific requirements of the solicitation. This information shall be provided in the format and content of Table 7.2.
