SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been added by full text:

L-1 PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS OCT 2010

A. General Instructions.

1. 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, in addition to those identified as Factors. The proposal shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the Performance Work Statement (PWS), Equipment and Installation Performance Specification (EIPS), Pricing Table, and the remainder of the RFP. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Alternate proposals will not be accepted.

2. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements but rather shall provide convincing rationale and details that address how the Offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that (1) the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience, and (2) the Government will base the evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror’s proposal.

3. The Contracting Officer (CO) and/or Contract Specialist (CS) (when assigned) are the only points of contact for this acquisition. Address any questions or concerns you may have to the CO or CS specified in Blocks 10a through

10c of the SF33. Written requests for clarification (questions) may be sent to the CO and CS to the e-mail address located in Block 10c of the SF33 until the date/time specified in provision 5352.215-9001. Changes to the

Contracting Office point of contact will be made by amendment to the solicitation. Late requests may not be considered.

4. The CO will control exchanges of source selection information between Government and Offerors. The

Government may use email 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 & FAR 3.104” in the Subject line.

Otherwise, the Government will transmit source selection information via fax or other carrier.

B. Specific Instructions.

1. The response shall consist of three (3) separate parts; Part I – Technical Proposal, Part II – Present/Past

Performance and Part III – Price Proposal/Contracting Information. The Offeror shall prepare the proposal as set forth in the Proposal and Binder Organization Tables (Tables 1 and 2 below). The titles and content of each part, all of which shall be within the required page limits, are defined in Table 1, and the number of copies is described in

Table 2. The content of each proposal binder is described in detail as follows:

TABLE 1 – PROPOSAL ORGANIZATION (within binders)

PART TITLE PAGE LIMITS (Excludes only Cover Page and Table of Contents)

I Technical Proposal Not to Exceed 50

II Present/Past Performance Not to Exceed 30 (includes letters)

III Price Proposal/ Hard Copy of pricing table

Contracting Information No page limitation

TABLE 2 – BINDERS ORGANIZATION

# OF BINDERS PARTS

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS (ITO)

Original and Copy 1

(2 separate binders)

I, II, III

Original and Copy binders contain the complete proposal package

Includes one electronic copy (CD) that contains all parts (entire proposal). Separating the parts among multiple CDs could result in loss of information.

Exclude RFP Parts B-F, H, J, L, and M.

Reproduction of the entire RFP unnecessary.

CD must be secured with CD/DVD binder storage pages (3-hole type) and secured into binder rings at the front of the “Original” binder

Seven additional binders holding

Copies 2 through 8

(Evaluation team copies)

I & II

Exclude Part III (no Contracting or Price information shall be included)

2. Page Limitations. 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. Each page shall be counted except cover pages, table of contents, glossary and resumes. If exceeded, the excess pages will not be read or considered in the evaluation of the proposal. Excess paper copies will be destroyed (except within the original proposal), which may render the Offeror’s proposal “technically unacceptable.”

a. Page size shall be 8.5 x 11 inches, not including foldouts. Pages may be single-spaced but shall have at least double spacing between paragraphs and factors. Except for the reproduced sections of the solicitation document, Attachment 1 (Pricing Table), and items specified in paragraph (b) below, the text size shall be no less than 12 point, Times New Roman type. Tracking, kerning, and leading values shall not be changed from the default values of the word processing or page layout software. Use at least one-inch margins on all sides. Pages shall be numbered sequentially by part. These limitations shall apply to both electronic and hard copy proposals.

b. Legible tables, charts, graphs and figures may 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 part, and shall count as two pages. Foldout pages may only be used for large tables, charts, graphs, diagrams and schematics and not for pages of text. For tables, charts, graphs and figures, the text shall be no smaller than eight-point. These limitations shall apply to both electronic and hard copy proposals.

3. Cross Referencing. To the greatest extent possible, each part shall be written on a stand-alone basis so that its contents may be evaluated with a minimum of cross referencing to other parts of the proposal. Cross-referencing within a proposal part is permitted where its use would conserve space without impairing clarity. Information required for proposal evaluation which is not found in its designated part will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal.

4. Binding and Labeling. The proposal shall be bound in two-inch, three-ring, loose leaf binders permitting the binders to lie flat when open. Staples shall not be used. A cover sheet shall be bound in each binder, clearly marked with the title, copy number, solicitation identification, and the Offeror’s name. The same identifying data shall be placed on the spine of each binder. All document binders shall have a color other than red (or shades thereof) or other applicable security designation colors.

5. Electronic Documents. The Offeror shall include a recordable, virus-free data compact disk (CD) in the

“Original” binder containing all parts. Failure to provide a CD may render the Offeror’s proposal non-responsive.

The content and page size of electronic documents must be identical to the hard copies. Label the CD with the RFP number, title, and Offeror’s name. Within the CD, use a separate electronic file for each part with associated exhibit, annexes, and attachments to permit rapid search and location. Files shall not be compressed. Submit electronic proposal documents in a format readable by Microsoft (MS) Office Word 2007, MS Office Excel 2007, and MS Office Power Point 2007, as applicable. In the event of discrepancy(s) between the hard copies and electronic copies of a proposal, the hard copies will be used for evaluation.

C. Part I – Technical Proposal.

1. Using the instructions below, provide the specific and actual methodology you will use to accomplish/satisfy these factors. Do not merely reiterate the objectives or reformulate the requirements specified in the solicitation.

Identify submitted material by corresponding factor and paragraph herein. If an Offeror is subcontracting/teaming with another vendor who will perform more than ten percent of the work, or if other than the prime contractor will be performing switch maintenance, the prime shall clearly identify work to be performed by each specific sub-contractor within the appropriate factors in the prime’s proposal. The proposals shall provide a clear distinction of functions to be performed by the prime and subcontractor to include the following: the nature of work, criticality of the work, and the percentage of overall effort performed by each subcontractor in each area of service provided.

Failure to provide the information on each vendor in a subcontracting/teaming arrangement shall render submitted proposal non-responsive and unacceptable.

2. Offeror shall address its proposed approach to meeting or exceeding the minimum performance or capability requirements of each Technical Proposal subfactor as follows:

SUBFACTOR 1 -- MAINTENANCE AND WORKLOAD PRACTICES. Demonstrate an approach to meeting the Government’s requirements to operate and maintain the equipment and systems as specified in each paragraph of PWS Section 1.3.

SUBFACTOR 2 -- WORK ORDERS. Demonstrate a process that ensures all work orders are accomplished as specified in each paragraph of PWS Section 1.4.

SUBFACTOR 3 -- COMPANY RESOURCES. Provide a summary description of Offeror’s company resources (personnel and equipment) and augmentation procedures that shall support this contract.

SUBFACTOR 4 -- QUALITY CONTROL. Provide an overview of the Offeror’s quality control plan and program (see PWS 4.1).

SUBFACTOR 5 -- SECURITY/SAFETY. Demonstrate an approach to the Offeror’s security and safety practices that will be employed on this contract.

SUBFACTOR 6 -- SWITCHBOARD OPERATIONS. Provide a detailed plan for switchboard operations

IAW PWS Appendix 5.9.

D. Part II – Present/Past Performance Information.

1. General. Present/Past Performance Information (PPI) is required on the Offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners who are proposed to perform ten 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 part and data obtained from other sources in the evaluation of past performance.

2. New Corporate Entities. New corporate entities may submit data on prior contracts involving its officers, employees, and key personnel who have relevant experience, and/or data of efforts that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement. Discuss the roles and responsibilities of personnel involved in the prior contracts cited.

3. Reference Data. The Government reserves the right to contact and use information provided by the references and any other sources. The Government will also obtain and consider information about other contracts not mentioned in the Offeror’s proposal, but which the Government believes to be similar to the proposed effort. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure all reference data is current and correct so that the Government can properly evaluate PPI.

4. Quality and Satisfaction Rating for Contracts Completed in the Past Three Years. Provide any information currently available (letters, metrics, customer surveys, independent surveys, etc.) which demonstrates customer satisfaction with overall job performance and quality of completed product for recent and relevant contract information provided below. In addition, explain corrective actions taken in the past, if any, for substandard performance and any current performance problems such as cost overruns, extended performance periods, numerous warranty calls, etc.

5. Recency/Relevancy. Offeror shall submit PPI on no more than ten recent contracts that you consider most relevant in demonstrating Offeror’s ability to perform the proposed effort. The total includes any subcontractors or teaming partners; however, no more than five of the ten recent contracts shall be submitted on your teaming partners and/or significant subcontractors that you consider most relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort.

Recent is defined as efforts that are ongoing or have been performed in the past three years from the date of issuance of the solicitation. Relevant is defined as experience with Switching Systems, Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), Inside Plant O&M, Outside Plant (Telephone) O&M, and outside Plant (Cable) O&M as defined in the PWS and

IAW Appendix 5.2. Do not duplicate a contract reference for prime and subcontractor but rather explain the role each played within the contract reference itself. Include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance. For a description of the characteristics or aspects the Government will consider in determining how contracts are considered recent and relevant, see Section M, paragraph 2.2.4 Performance Confidence Assessment.

6. Specific Content. PPI 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 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 acquisition, 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. This may allow the Offeror to be considered a higher confidence candidate. Submittal of quality performance indicators or other management indicators that clearly support that an Offeror has overcome past problems is required.

7. Format for Contract Information. Using the format below, the Offeror shall provide the following information for each contract reference submitted for past performance evaluation. Provide concise comments regarding your performance on the contracts you identify.

a. Offeror/Subcontractor Name (Company/Division):

CAGE Code:

DUNS Number:

(NOTE: If the company or division performing this effort is other than the Offeror, or the relevance of this effort to the instant acquisition is impacted by any company/corporate organizational change, refer to paragraph 8 below, "Organizational Structure Change History," and provide as part of the Past

Performance proposal.)

b. Acquisition Title:

c. Contract Specifics:

(1) Contracting Agency or Customer:

(2) Contract Number

(3) Contract Type (e.g. firm-fixed-price, T&M, etc):

(4) Period of Performance (within the last five years):

(5) Initial Contract Cost/Price (Rounded to nearest thousand): $

(6) Current/final Contract Cost/Price(Rounded to nearest thousand): $

(7) Annual Contract Value(Rounded to nearest thousand): $

(8) If Amounts for 5 and 6 above are different, provide a brief description of the reason: ____

d. Brief Description of Effort as __Prime or __Subcontractor

(Indicate whether it was O&M, installation/implementation, or other and highlight portions considered most relevant to current acquisition)

e. Completion Date:

(1) Original date:

(2) Current Schedule:

(3) Estimate at Completion:

(4) How Many Times Changed:

(5) Primary Causes of Change:

f. Primary Customer Points of Contact: Provide current information on all three individuals for Government contracts. Provide points of contact fulfilling these same roles for commercial contracts.

(1) Program Manager: Name

Office

Address

Telephone

(2) Contracting Officer: Name

Address

(3) Administrative: Name

Address

g. Relevancy:

(1) Relevant to the following PWS Appendix 5.2 equipment: __________________________

(2) Specify how the Offeror believes this contract is relevant to contractual requirements, specifically the operation and maintenance of the equipment listed in PWS Appendix 5.2.

(3) For each of the applicable factors under the Technical Proposal in Section M, illustrate how your experience on this program applies.

h. Address any technical (or other) area about this contract/program considered unique.

i. Specify, by name, any key individual(s) who participated in this program and are proposed to support the instant acquisition. Also, indicate their contractual roles for both acquisitions.

j. Describe the nature or portion of the work on the proposed effort to be performed by the business entity being reported here. Also, estimate the percentage of the total proposed effort that will be performed by this entity and whether it will be performing as the prime, subcontractor, or a corporate division related to the prime (define relationship).

k. Describe any past or present litigation or administrative proceeding pertaining to the reference contract, including the results if the proceedings are complete or the status if the proceedings are ongoing. Provide a copy of any cure notices or show cause notices received on each contract listed and a description of any corrective action taken. Indicate if any of the contracts listed were terminated and the type and reasons for termination.

l. Discuss the number and severity of any problems in the referenced contract considered relevant to the proposed efforts and identify the effectiveness of corrective actions to resolve the problems. Provide any contract discrepancy reports, corrective action reports or other non-compliance correspondence.

m. Include any information not previously covered, which will enhance the evaluators’ understanding of the

Offeror or any sub-contractor’s proposed qualifications.

8. 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 present/past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal part a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company. 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 PPI 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.

9. Consent Letters. The Offeror shall submit a consent letter, executed by any potential subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners. The consent letter authorizes release of adverse PPI to the Offeror so the

Offeror can, in turn, respond to such information. A sample letter follows:

SAMPLE

Contracting Officer:

We are participating as a (subcontractor/teaming partner) with (prime contractor or name of entity providing proposal) in responding to the 38 CEG/PKL, Tinker Air Force Base Request for Proposal

FA8773-__-R-____ for the O&M of the BTS contract at ____ (list performance location(s)).

We understand that the Government is placing increased emphasis on past performance in order to obtain best value in source selections. In order to facilitate the performance confidence assessment process we are signing this consent letter to allow you to discuss our past and present performance information with the prime contractor during the source selection process.

(Signature, printed name, and title of individual who has the authority to sign for and legally bind the company)

Company Name:

Address:

10. Client Authorization Letters. PPI concerning private sector contractors, subcontractors and joint venture partners cannot be disclosed to the Government without their consent. Client authorization letters are required for each identified effort for a commercial customer. This letter will authorize release to the Government of requested information on the Offeror’s performance. The Government will need the consent before contacting commercial customers to assess the Offeror’s past performance. In an effort to assist the Source Selection Evaluation Team

(SSET) in assessing Offeror’s past performance relevancy and confidence, the Government requests the following client authorization letter be completed by any commercial customers identified in Offeror’s proposal. Include the completed client authorization letter(s) within the Present/Past Performance Part II.

SAMPLE

“Client:”

We are responding to the 38 CEG/PKL, Tinker Air Force Base Request for Proposal FA8773-__-R-____ for the O&M of the BTS contract at ____ (list performance location(s)).

In their acquisitions, the Government is placing increased emphasis on past performance as a source selection factor. The Government requires entities responding to their solicitation to identify clients and requests client participation in the evaluation process. You are hereby authorized to respond to those inquiries if the contracting office contacts you for information on work performed by our firm.

We have identified ______ of your organization as the point of contact based on his/her knowledge of our work. We appreciate your cooperation. You may direct any questions to

E. Part III – Price Proposal.

1. Price Reasonableness, Completeness, Balance, and Affordability. This part is to assist the Offeror in submitting sufficient pricing information that demonstrates reasonableness, completeness, balance, and affordability of the proposed price. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in rejection of Offeror’s proposal.

Unreasonable proposed prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition. Additionally, unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an Offeror’s proposal. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed prices rests with the Offeror at the time of proposal or during subsequent discussions (if any are held).

2. Price Information. The price proposal shall not include information beyond that required by this instruction unless the Offeror considers it essential to document or support Offeror’s price position. All information relating to the proposed price, including all required supporting documentation must be included in this part or assumptions of the proposal. Under no circumstances shall this information and documentation be included in the Technical

Proposal or Past Performance Information.

3. Adequate Price Competition. The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the contracting officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer's opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition the contracting officer 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 of the price.

4. Rounding. All dollar amounts (unit and extended prices and other price factors) provided shall be rounded to the nearest penny (two decimal places only). This includes base period and out-year (option) prices. Failure to round unit prices to no more than two decimals may result in rejection of proposal.

5. Pricing Table (included as Attachment 1 to the solicitation). The Offeror shall comply with the following requirements and instructions:

a. Price all Contract Line Item Numbers/Subcontract Line Item Numbers (CLINs/SLINs)/Product

Identifications (PIDS). Limit unit prices and rates to two decimal places. The abbreviations Not

Separately Priced (NSP) and No Charge (N/C) are not acceptable entries. If the Offeror is providing a

CLIN/SLIN to the Government at no additional charge, “$0.00” must be entered for that item. See clause

52.232-36; GPC is an authorized method of payment under this contract. GPC cardholders shall not be charged additional fees on top of those specified within the pricing table at the time of billing.

../../Cynthia.Dates/AppData/Local/Microsoft/PK/PKW/PKL/far/FAR15.DOC#b154062

b. Electronic Media Submission of Pricing Table. The PIDs and/or SLINs in the Pricing Table of this solicitation are an electronic file, presented as Excel for Microsoft Office

2007 spreadsheets/workbook format. Submit an electronic copy using the exact file provided by the Government without changing the format of the files.

(1) Description of Files.

EXCEL WORKSHEET CONTENTS

Summary Sheet………………………………………Contains cells for the entry of unit prices and calculates extended prices for O&M

CLIN/SLINs for the Base Period through

Option Period 4.

Summary prices for all other CLINs/SLINs are linked to the Grand Total Amount on other worksheets.

Worksheets containing Product

Identification (PID) and/or Subcontract

Line Item Numbers (SLINs)………………………….Entry of PID/SLIN Unit Prices is required for the Base Period and all Option Years.

(2) Operation & Maintenance (O&M) pricing. O&M pricing does not include work-order services price allocations, other than typical management functions such as but not limited to oversight/program management and quality control of staff and subcontractors performing work orders. Inclusion of such price allocations within the O&M price may result in the offer becoming unbalanced.

(3) The EIPS provides detailed descriptions of the material and labor effort (those items that are pre-priced for material and labor for installation, removal, and/or relocation) required by the attached Pricing Table and identified by PIDs. This solicitation/contract is principally for services for O&M and work-order services under the Service Contract Act (SCA). Also required in this solicitation/contract is a substantial and segregable amount of construction, alteration, renovation, or repair work. The Davis Bacon Act (DBA) is applicable to work orders with an aggregate dollar value exceeding or expected to exceed (estimated above) $2,000 for construction, alteration, and/or repair. Some of the SLINs/PIDs for installation could be both

SCA and DBA applicable, dependent upon individual work order requirements. By referencing the DBA wage determination, inserting the appropriate DBA clauses into the solicitation, and identifying the types of effort that may occur, offerors are able to identify the appropriate

SCA/DBA labor mix based upon their technical approach. It is each Offeror’s responsibility to evaluate work effort and propose the appropriate labor mix for the level of effort required to perform the services described in the PWS and associated appendixes for the work-order services

(CLINs X003 – X009) and price allocations for installation of SLINs/PIDs in the Pricing Table based upon their knowledge and experiences. When in doubt, an Offeror may assume that the higher prevailing wage between the SCA or DBA will prevail on an individual work order when it is possible that a PID could be used in either situation and its price could represent either. The

Government will not assume responsibility for any omission but rather rely on the Offeror’s knowledge of the requirement and industry to price appropriately for either situation.

6. Contract Documentation. Complete and submit “ONLY” the contract document sections as follows:

Section A - Solicitation/Contract Form. Complete Blocks 12 through 18 (including original signature and date) of the SF 33. Signature by the Offeror on the SF 33 constitutes an offer, of which the Government may accept. The "original" copy should be clearly marked under separate cover and should be provided without any punched holes. Instead, secure the original signed SF33 in a document protector bound in the

“original proposal” binder and one copy in the “Copy 1” binder. Offeror shall include a statement within

Section II that the proposal is valid through the proposal acceptance period specified in Section A.

Section G - Contract Administrative Data. Offeror shall provide a “remit-to” address if different from the mailing address in Block 7 on the SF33. The Remit-to address will be included in Section G of any resultant contract at the time of award. DO NOT INCLUDE Section G if “remit-to” address does not apply.

Section I - Contract Clauses. Submit pages for only the clauses that require fill-ins. Ensure they are from the RFP itself, which includes the RFP and page numbers. Other pages in this section need not be included with the submission.

Section K – Representations and Certifications. Complete and include the additional representations and certifications specified within Section K of this RFP.

**Proposals SHALL NOT INCLUDE Sections B-F, H, L, and M. These sections are not modifiable by the Offeror and are redundant to include with the proposal submission.

7. Assumptions. Offerors shall specify any assumptions taken to the RFP and/or assumptions made for proposal preparation. Assumptions shall be addressed by part (and factor if applicable). Offerors shall provide complete accompanying rationale. Should the Offeror have no assumptions, then the proposal shall so state “no assumptions made for the RFP proposal submission.” Moreover, failure to include assumptions in this area will be deemed as acceptance of all terms and conditions of the solicitation (as amended) and resulting award document.
