L-1 GENERAL PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors shall follow the instructions contained herein.

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including, but not limited to: terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Offerors clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. Non- conformance with the instructions provided in this solicitation may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation and/or removal from consideration.

L-1.1 Submission of Proposal: Offerors shall submit one electronic copy of each deliverable by email to both of the names listed below:

Ms. Carly Larson, carly.larson@us.af.mil TSgt Angelo Cabuang, angelomykael.cabuang.1@us.af.mil

If the file size is too large to be delivered by email, the offeror must notify the contacts listed above, and a DoD SAFE link will be provided to drop-off files. The offeror is responsible to request the link timely so that proposals will be received by the proposal due date (see Page 1, Section 13a).

L-1.2 This is an all-electronic solicitation release. Hard copies of the solicitation are not available. The Government will post amendments to the solicitation to an Electronic Posting System (EPS), https://www.sam.

L-1.3 Pre-Proposal Conference: A pre-proposal conference will be held approximately twenty-one (21) days after the posting of the RFP. Contractors will meet at the 319th Contracting Squadron in building 242 on Grand Forks Air Force Base. All prospective offerors are highly encouraged to attend this conference. In order to make the conference as productive as possible, offerors should submit, no later than three business days before the conference, any questions they may have in writing to angelomykael.cabuang.1@us.af.mil and/or carly.

2022, at 4:00PM.

Information provided at the pre-proposal conference shall not qualify the terms and conditions of the solicitation and specifications. Failure of a prospective offeror to submit any questions or attend the conference will be construed to mean that the prospective offeror fully understands all requirements of the solicitation. Prospective offerors are advised that the pre-proposal conference will be held solely for the purpose of explaining the concepts involved in the project and the specifications, terms, and conditions of this solicitation.

Questions along with the answers will be posted to https://www.sam.gov/ within seven (7) to ten (10) business days following the pre-proposal conference. All prospective offerors are advised that this solicitation will remain unchanged unless it is specifically amended in writing.

Any corrections and/or changes requested must permit adequate review time by the BOS before the proposal due date. No corrections and/or changes are permitted after the time for submission of offers.

L-1.4.2 Teaming/Partnering Offerors: If the offer is based on a teaming/partnering arrangement, the offeror shall provide all required and complete solicitation information for all parties including a copy of the teaming /partnership agreement, and any relevant and recent past performance information on previous teaming arrangements with same partner.

The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements but rather must provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements.

These items will be counted if they contain any other information, i.e., diagrams, extraneous data, etc. Pages marked "This page intentionally left blank" will not be counted.

7. A page shall be an 81/2x11" sheet of paper (minimum of 1/2" margins). The Offeror shall number each page in order. In the event an offeror creates an ambiguity, the Government may exercise its own discretion in counting pages.

L-3 ON/OFF RAMP PROVISION:

(a) This provision prescribes the process by which the Government will ensure an adequate number of awardees are available at all times to achieve effective competition on all task orders. The Government intends to maintain a pool of up to five (5) small business contractors with a proven track record for competing on and then delivering quality construction projects.

(b) Awardees are expected, in good faith, to participate in the task order competitions, and if successful, to deliver quality projects on time and at cost, to include management and supervision of subcontractors. If for any reason, an awardee cannot participate in a competition, the awardee shall provide written notice to the Government of the reason(s) for non-participation prior to proposal due date. Failure to participate in good faith and/or an overall annual performance assessment rating of Marginal or Unsatisfactory may result in the awardee being off-ramped from the multiple award program. An off-ramp decision may result in implementing a termination for convenience, implementing a termination for default or taking any other action permitted by the contract terms and conditions.

(c) In the event awardee(s) are off-ramped within 30 months of initial contract award, the Government will reserve the right to on-ramp contractor(s) whom responded to this solicitation and were selected as on-ramp contractors in order to maintain a pool of up to five (5) small business awardees. On-ramp contractors will be selected based on initial proposal evaluation results from the basic multiple award solicitation in order of ranking. Selected on-ramp contractors will be subject to a performance validation review. Contractor(s) must be active in SAM and otherwise in compliance with the original multiple award solicitation. If found in compliance, on-ramp contractors may be offered a bi-lateral IDIQ contract with the original guaranteed minimum and allowed to compete on future task order projects as an awardee.

(d) The Government will not use on-ramp procedures beyond the 30 month mark from the initial awards. The original performance period for awardees will be five years, and a six (6) month extension; no contract will exceed five years with an Option to Extend Services regardless of when a basic contract is awarded.

(e) Annual Performance Review ("Off-Ramp): The Government will ensure that an adequate number of contractors are available at all times to achieve effective competition on all task orders. On an annual basis, the Government will evaluate all contractors' participation rates, reason(s) for nonparticipation, and performance evaluations for task orders completed or in effect. Failure to participate in good faith on at least 75% of the issued Task Order Proposal Requests (TOPR) and/or an overall annual performance assessment rating of Marginal or Unsatisfactory may result in the contractor being off-ramped from the multiple award program. An off-ramp decision results in the inability to participate in future TOPRs.

(f) Replacing MATOC Contractors ("On-Ramp"): Should one or more of the incumbent MATOC contractor gets off-ramped and occurs within 30 months of the initial MATOC award, the government may select up to two of the "on-ramp" awardees as a replacement. The "on-ramp" contractor(s) will be selected based on initial evaluation results from the basic multiple award solicitation in order of ranking. The "on-ramp" awardee that had the lowest priced, technical acceptable proposal with the highest past performance confidence assessment rating, will be selected to replace the previous MATOC prime contractor. The selected contractor will be subject to a performance validation review and must be active in SAM and found to be in compliance with the original MATOC solicitation. If the first selectee does not meet the previously stated requirements, the second "on-ramp" awardee that had the lowest priced, technical acceptable proposal with the highest performance confidence assessment rating, will be given the opportunity to replace the departing MATOC prime contractor.

This process will continue until an "on-ramp" awardee is selected as a prime contractor for the MATOC or until both "on-ramp" awardees have been evaluated. If found in compliance, the "on-ramp" contractor(s) may be offered a bi-lateral IDIQ contract with the original guaranteed minimum of $1,000.00 and allowed to compete on future task order projects.

L-4 Bonding: The offeror shall provide proof from the offeror's bonding company that their firm has, as a minimum, $9,999,999.00 in available bonding capability in accordance with Contract Clause FAR 52.228-1.
