1. This request for quote (RFQ) is to support the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)’s requirement for Building Automation System (BAS) maintenance and associated services contract for the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Headquarters (HQ) facilities located at Ft George G Meade (FGGM), Maryland (MD).

The specifics are as follows:

2. Offerors are requested to submit a written technical and price quote in response to the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS) and Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP)(Attachment 1). Quotes should be prepared in accordance with (IAW) the terms and conditions outlined in this solicitation. Further information on submission of technical and price quotes is provided throughout this document.

a. IAW with DISA Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DARS) 52.209-9000, each offeror shall specifically identify in its quote, whether or not any potential or actual Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest (OCCI) as described in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 9.5 exists for this procurement. If the offeror believes that no OCCI exists, the OCCI response shall set forth sufficient details to support such a position. If an offeror believes that an actual or perceived OCCI does exist on this procurement, the offeror shall submit an OCCI plan with the quote, explaining in detail how the OCCI will be mitigated and/or avoided.

b. Any “no-bid” reply must include a brief statement as to why the offeror is unable to perform. Quotes and no-bid replies should be emailed to: Timothy.s.still.civ@mail.mil

c. Offerors must complete Blocks 6, 7, and 8 of the DD Form 254 with the appropriate information for their companies and any subcontractors (when applicable). Completed DD Forms 254 must be submitted with quotes.

3. Evaluation Factors and Basis for Award Determination:

a. Award will be made to the offeror whose quote is determined to represent the overall best value to the Government using an LPTA evaluation process. Quotes will be evaluated with regard to how they respond to the requirements of the PWS and on price submissions. The technical quote should include all information the offeror wants the Government to consider and evaluate regarding its company’s ability to perform all required tasks and conform to all required terms and conditions. In order to be eligible for award, the contractor’s quote must sufficiently address all aspects of the PWS. The Government reserves the right, but is not obligated, to conduct a realism analysis. With regard to the best value analysis for the award decision, the below evaluation factors and subfactors will be used in the determination of technical acceptability. Section 508 Accessibility Standards do not apply to this requirement.

b. After receipt of quotes, the Government will first evaluate the lowest price quote. If the lowest price quote is determined to be technically acceptable and otherwise properly awardable, no further evaluations will be conducted, and award will be made. If, however, the lowest price quote is determined to be technically unacceptable and/or otherwise not properly awardable, further evaluations will be conducted.

c. The standards for determining technical acceptability are below, as well as information concerning price quotes. Page limitations are identified below under each evaluation factor and will be treated as maximums. If exceeded, excess pages will not be read or considered in evaluation of the quote. The following items will not be considered when calculating page limits: cover page, table of contents, glossary, executive summary, generic resumes, past performances, OCCI mitigation plans, and Section 508 compliance. In the event any evaluation notices are issued, page limitations may also be placed on those. The technical portion of the quote is to be submitted as a Microsoft (MS) Word 2007 or PDF document. The page format shall have a 1 inch margin using no smaller than an 11 point Ariel, Times New Roman, or Courier New font for all text to include any text contained in a table. The price quote spreadsheet shall be a separate document from the technical quote and shall be submitted in MSExcel 2007 format. All formulas shall remain present in the spreadsheet for verification. The file size of each document shall not exceed 2MB. Page limitations shall not be circumvented by including inserted text boxes/pop-ups or internet links to additional information; such inclusions are not acceptable and will not be considered part of a quote. The Government reserves the right not to consider for award any quote that does not adhere to the administrative requirements of this RFP.

(1) Technical/Management Approach Factor: The Technical/Management Subfactors will be evaluated and rated either Acceptable or Unacceptable. In order for a quote to be rated overall Technically Acceptable, each of the following subfactors must be rated Acceptable. Technical/ management quotes should not exceed 20 pages.

(a) Subfactor 1: Subfactor 1: Relevant Experience: Provide three relevant projects (100,000 SF facility or greater). Provide a brief scope of work that demonstrates the relevancy to this Statement of Work. Specifically, address the Preventive Maintenance of building controls systems SOW Paragraph 6.1 and Adjustment of BAS system's programming and settings, SOW Paragraph 6.2.

For the relevant projects cited above, provide the contract number, the name and address of the client, the term of contract, the dollar value of the contract, and a current telephone number and point of contact for the Contracting Officer or Facility Manager.

(b) Subfactor 2: Qualifications of Personnel: Technicians must have, as a minimum, three years of specialized experience and be certified in the use of Niagara AX Framework and TAC I/A Series® Workplace Tech Tool 5.7 software. Technicians must have training in the BAS software versions, in use, and automated control system operations. Technicians assigned must have the ability to obtain a Secret Security Clearance.

(c ) Subfactor 3: Understanding of the Scope of Work: The Offeror shall address all tasks designated in the PWS. In order for this subfactor to be rated Acceptable the contractor must demonstrate an understanding of the scope of work, time constraints, and the ability to provide for emergency level maintenance as described in the PWS.

(2) Price Factor:

(a) Price quotes will be evaluated to determine if they are reasonable and complete. The offeror shall submit pricing for the base period and all option periods, including option pricing for an additional 6-month period that may be authorized IAW FAR 52.217-8. See FAR 52.217-8 which authorizes the Government to require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. The pricing quote should include a separate line item for the additional 6-month period IAW FAR 52.217-8. These prices shall be identical to the quoted pricing in the 6 months prior to expiration of the base period, or the final option period, if option periods are present. The total evaluated price will consist of the contractor’s proposed price for the base period, all option periods, the option pricing for the additional 6-month period, and surge pricing as requested below.

(b) Offerors should ensure price quotes include detailed information regarding the resources required to accomplish the task (e.g., labor categories, labor hours, number of employees for each labor category, rates, travel, incidental equipment, contract access fees, etc.). Again, the price quote spreadsheet shall be a separate document from the technical/management quote

4. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with offerors. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions or seek clarifications if the Contracting Officer (KO) determines they are necessary. In the event issues pertaining to a proposed task cannot be resolved to the KO’s satisfaction, the Government reserves the right to withdraw and cancel the proposed task order. In such an event, offerors will be notified in writing. In the event a competitive range is established and the KO determines that the number of quotes that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the KO may limit the number of quotes in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition.

5. The SF 1449 contains provisions that apply to this solicitation and clauses that will be applicable to the resulting award. Some of the provisions require a response from the offeror and will need to be submitted along with your quote.

6. In response to this RFP, no terms, conditions, or assumptions will be entertained. If terms, conditions, or assumptions are included in a quote, the quote may be excluded on grounds that it failed to comply with the RFP’s instructions.

7. An offeror agrees that if its offer is accepted within 60 calendar days from the date of receipt of quotes (unless a different period is stated in the quote), it will furnish the items and/or services identified in its quote at the price offered to the designated point(s) within the time specified in the contract.

8. Questions should be addressed to timothy.s.still.civ@mail.mil. The phone number is 618-229-9462. Please provide any questions, in writing, no later than September 10, 2015 at 2:00pm (CT). The Government reserves the right to not answer questions submitted after this time.
