NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS

United States Coast Guard Ombudsman Program

It is the policy of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time-consuming litigation.

OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the USCG as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum rather than filing a protest with the GAO or some external forum.

Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the Contracting Officer or Ombudsman.

Informal Forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe a specific USCG procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicable Contracting Officer. If the Contracting Officer is unable to satisfy their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the U.S. Coast Guard Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, Contracting Officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable).

Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman. Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the Contracting Officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester’s concerns are unresolved, an Independent Review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the Contracting Officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program. Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government.

The agency’s goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.103. If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. To be timely protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program should be submitted to:

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Past Performance- The offeror shall identify at least two but no more than four relevant (construction, overhaul, repair and alteration of ships) federal, state or local Government or private contracts performed during the last three (3) years. The contracts identified should be similar to this procurement in scope and price. For each contract, submit past performance information on Attachment 4, Past Performance Reference Information Form.

If subcontracting arrangements are proposed, the above data must also be provided for each first tier subcontractor. If a joint effort or teaming arrangement is proposed, highlight previous experience with the proposed team or subcontractor.

The past performance evaluation will take into account the guidelines outlined at FAR 15.305(a)(2) Past Performance Evaluation. The Contractor’s past performance will be evaluated according to the following factors:

Past Performance Quality Ratings

Rating Description Good Superior accomplishment of contract requirements and very high customer satisfaction.

Acceptable Fully compliant accomplishment of contract requirements and positive customer satisfaction.

Marginal Accomplishes most, but not all, of the desired contract requirements and customer is marginally satisfied.

Unacceptable Failure to properly accomplish contract requirements and failure to satisfy customer.

Neutral The offeror has no past performance history OR the Contracting

Officer has determined that the past performance information provided is not directly related or similar to the requirements in the RFP.

Additionally the past performance will be reviewed for relevancy:

Very Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

SCHEDULED DOCKSIDE REPAIRS

Somewhat Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Vendors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance – they will receive a Neutral rating.

In evaluating Contractors past performance, the Government intends to also review U.S. Coast Guard Contractor Performance Reports and other existing past performance ratings on relevant contracts. General trends in a Contractor’s performance will also be considered.

2. Price- The Total evaluated price of the offeror will be determined by totaling the proposed prices of all the Definite Items, Optional, items, and the composite labor hour rate totals. Offeror’s price shall represent the best price in response to the request for quotes. The price shall be evaluated to determine fairness and reasonableness.

WELDING CERTIFICATIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS:

This solicitation may contain welding line items as either Definitive or Optional Items. With his/her quote the Contractor shall provide the necessary welding certifications and qualifications as required by the specification for the applicable work item(s), and SFLC Standard Specification 0740. Subsequent to contract award, the Government will require the Contractor to submit applicable certifications and qualifications to the COR for any welding to be performed on any proposed change request.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
