PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS

PAYMENT OF TRANSPORTATION INVOICES

A. GENERAL

MRM 15 directed Reengineering of Defense Transportation Documentation and Financial processes. The directive specifically addressed reengineering billing, collection, and payment processes through transition to commercially acceptable practices. Implementation was coordinated between affected DOD installations and the commercial carrier industry. The Deputy Secretary of Defense directed the implementation of US Bank’s PowerTrack (now Syncada) system to pay for transportation services. DOD contracts and voluntary tenders require the use of Syncada, and all DOD cargo movements must be offered only to commercial carriers who utilize Syncada as their billing and payment system.

B. THIRD PARTY PAY SYSTEM (TPPS)

1. A requirement to conduct business with DOD as a transportation service provider (TSP) will be Third Party Pay System (TPPS) capable. Even if otherwise qualified, TSP that is not TPPS certified will not be eligible to transport DOD freight. TPPS is an electronic freight transaction tracking and payment system.

2. The current authorized TPPS is Syncada, a service of US Bank. TSP should contact US Bank at 612-973-6597 or 1-800-417-1844 or on the web at http://www.usbank.com/syncada. Payment of freight services within the United States will be paid through Syncada. A fee is required to participate in the program.

3. Prior to submitting an invoice (e-bill) the TSP must have proof of delivery.

ATTN: Suzanne Mudd-Yarber and Michelle Mendez 508 Scott Drive Scott AFB, IL 62225-5357

E-mail: suzanne.mudd-yarber@ustranscom.mil

Subject: Solicitation HTC711-12-R-W006 To: suzanne.mudd-yarber@ustranscom.mil and michelle.mendez@ustranscom.mil

Request for clarification and/or information concerning the solicitation should be submitted in the following format:

Reference: Section____, Page____, Paragraph____, (or Figure____).

Question: ________________________________________________________.

All requests must be made in writing or via e-mail and submitted to the above address. No requests for clarification will be provided in response to offeror-initiated telephone calls. Written inquiries will be answered in writing and provided to all offerors. However, time may not permit requests to be answered if received by the above addressee within 10 calendar days of the due date for offers as specified in this solicitation.

There will be no communications with offerors after the date and time specified in the Contracting Officer's request for final proposal revisions.

2. NOTICE FOR RESTRICTIONS ON CONTACTS

Applicable to the release of this Request for Proposal (RFP), appropriate headquarters and directorate offices have been advised that a source selection action is in progress beginning late September 2012 through award of contract.

3. DETERMINATION OF COMPETITIVE RANGE

The Source Selection Authority may establish a competitive range and approve the elimination of any proposals submitted as a result of this solicitation.

Offerors are hereby advised that only those proposals determined to have a reasonable chance for award of a contract will be included in the competitive range. While every effort will be made to maintain strong competition, the Contracting Officer will also look to eliminate time consuming and unnecessary discussions with those Offerors whose proposals have no reasonable chance for award. This procedure is considered beneficial to both USTRANSCOM and the Offerors involved since, in addition to saving further expenditure of resources, acquisition lead-time should be reduced.

Accordingly, Offerors should submit initial proposals on their most favorable terms, from both a technical and cost standpoint. It should be noted that proposals will not be included in the competitive range solely on the basis of technical acceptability, nor will they be included due to cost considerations alone.

Offerors whose proposals are not included in the competitive range will be notified as soon as practicable.

Additional information relative to such proposals will be provided through debriefing of unsuccessful Offerors.

4. AWARD INFORMATION

All offerors must be able to perform all required tasks as identified in the PWS.

Award will be made in accordance with FAR 52.212-2 and the Addendum to FAR 52.212-2

5. PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS INFORMATION TO OFFERORS

5.1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The Government reserves the right not to award a contract based on the quality and quantity of proposals received.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award contracts without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a technical and a price standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

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 and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.

5.2 ORGANIZATION/DISTRIBUTION/NUMBER OF COPIES

Offerors are responsible for submitting three (3) hard copies and one (1) electronic copy of their proposal, and any revisions, and modifications, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the date and time specified in the solicitation.

52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items JAN 1999

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2

Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Jan 1999)

Paragraph (a) is changed to read as follows:

The Government intends to award one contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) 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:

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

Sub Factor A: Equipment Sub-Factor B: Management of Operations Sub Factor C: Small Business Subcontracting Plan

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

FACTOR 3: EVALUATION ADVANTAGE FOR USE OF U.S. SHIPYARDS

FACTOR 4: COST/PRICE

This is a competitive best value source selection. Past Performance is significantly more important than the Evaluation Advantage for use of U.S. Shipyards, and when combined, are significantly more important than price.

The Government will utilize a variation of the Tradeoff Source Selection Process in accordance with the mandatory DOD Source Selection procedures. The SSEB will evaluate offers based on the submitted past performance, shipyard repair record and price. Technical Capability will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. The Government reserves the right to use subjective judgment during the evaluation process.

The Government intends to award a single contract to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation, as supplemented, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements (to include all terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this solicitation), and is judged, based on the evaluation factors, to represent the best value to the Government. This may result in an award to a higher priced offeror, where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors and the Source Selection Authority (SSA) reasonably determines that the superior past performance of a higher priced offeror outweighs any cost difference or any difference in both cost and Evaluation Advantage for use of U.S. Shipyards. However, the Government will not pay a price premium that it considers to be disproportionate to the benefits associated with superior past performance. Therefore, the Government will award the contract to the offeror considered to be the best value, all factors considered, given their relative order of importance. To arrive at a source selection decision, the SSA will integrate the SSEB’s evaluations of price, past performance and evaluation advantage for use of U.S. shipyards described below.

5.1. Identify Factors and Subfactors: Each offerors’ proposal will be evaluated against the following criteria:

Evaluation Advantage Use of U.S. Shipyards, Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Cost/Price.

Factor 1. Technical Capability

The government technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical proposals at the sub-factor level on an acceptable/unacceptable basis, assigning ratings of Acceptable or Unacceptable as defined below.

If any technical subfactor is rated as “Unacceptable” the overall technical rating will be “Unacceptable.” If all technical subfactors are rated as “Acceptable” the overall technical rating will be “Acceptable.” All technically unacceptable offers will not be considered for award.

RATING DEFINITION

Acceptable Proposal meets the Government’s minimum requirements.

Unacceptable Proposal fails to meet the Government’s minimum requirements.

The proposal shall be evaluated against the following subfactors:

Sub Factor A: Equipment. The measure of merit for this subfactor is met when the offeror proposes sufficient equipment which will result in an offerors successful completion of the requirement. The Offeror must describe the quantity and type (to include size and configuration); of equipment that offeror proposes for use under this solicitation. Descriptions should be sufficient to allow the Government to determine compliance with service requirements listed in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Contractor and its equipment offered must currently possess or be eligible for United States Coast Guard (USCG) approval to operate in US coastal and inland waterways. The contractor shall provide a copy of the USCG certificate with their proposal. If equipment is under lease, the contractor shall provide lease agreement or signed letter of intent to lease with their proposal.

Sub-Factor B: Management of Operations. The measure of merit for this subfactor is met when the offeror meets the Government’s minimum standard. The contractor must describe in a Quality Control Plan (QCP) how the Contractor intends to meet the performance objectives identified in the PWS, provide cargo free of contamination or degradation, and should also identify those areas the Contractor sees as critical to the customers for this contract, how it will monitor quality performance in those areas, and how it will maintain customer expectations, including identification and correction of problems. The Quality Control Plan (QCP) must demonstrate the contractor’s ability to provide oversight, measurements, and reporting processes to ensure compliance with all contract requirements. The QCP must include all elements in the PWS and Performance Requirements Summary; to include a comprehensive and effective Safety and Security program that complies with all contract safety and security requirements. The contractor shall also include a copy of the official U.S. Coast Guard Oil Spill Response Plan Letter of Certification in lieu of the original Oil Spill Response Plan.

Sub Factor C: Small Business Subcontracting Plan (Applies to Large Business Only). The measure of merit for this subfactor is met when the offeror meets the Government’s minimum standard. This is achieved when the offeror submits a subcontracting plan that addresses the requirements of FAR Part 19.704.

Factor 2. Past Performance Information (PPI). The Government will evaluate the offeror’s past performance and assign a past performance confidence assessment.

The Government will evaluate past performance questionnaires submitted by the respondents identified in the offeror’s proposal and other information independently obtained by the Government.

First, the Government will evaluate the recency of past performance information (must be within the last 3 years).

Past performance information submitted which exceeds the 3 year limit will not be considered.

Next, the Government will evaluate the relevancy of past performance information and assign a relevancy rating.

The relevancy of each contract reference will be considered in the overall confidence assessment rating for the offeror.

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating Definition 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.

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.

Finally, the Government will assign a past performance confidence assessment. Past performance evaluated as a measure of the Government’s confidence in the offeror’s ability to successfully perform based on previous and current contracts.

Past Performance Confidence Assessments Rating Description Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral)

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information in the format specified in this solicitation. Offerors may be asked to respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than acceptable rating on any evaluation element or unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. Communications conducted regarding past performance to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the SSA reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for revisions.

Factor 3: Evaluation Advantage for Use of U.S Shipyards (IAW DFARS 252.247-7026 - Evaluation Preference for Use of Domestic Shipyards — Applicable to Acquisition of Carriage by Vessel for DoD Cargo in the Coastwise or Noncontiguous Trade (Nov 2008)). The Government will evaluate the offeror’s use of U.S. shipyards for certain overhaul, repair and maintenance work and assign an evaluation advantage rating of “1” or “2”. Technically acceptable proposals will then be subdivided based on the extent of overhaul, repair and maintenance work requiring a shipyard for a period greater than or equal to 5 calendar days. Offerors will be assigned an evaluation advantage of “1” (highest) or “2” (lowest) based on the following formula:

[Repair Money Spent in US]/[Total Repair Money Spent] = Evaluation Advantage.

Offerors with calculations amounting to 15% or higher will receive an evaluation advantage of “1.” All other offerors will receive an evaluation advantage of “2.”

- All calculations are based on total number of ships owned, operated or controlled by carrier whether or not they are used on this contract.

- Calculation will NOT include any money falling under the exceptions listed at DFARS 247.573(2)(c)(3)(i)

& (ii) – this means excluding the amount from the total as well as from the U.S. numbers.

- The calculation will be rounded to the nearest tenth (i.e., 38.7%).

After applying the evaluation advantage for U.S. Shipyards, proposals will be sorted into one of the following rankings.

Technical acceptable proposals compliant with U.S. Coastwise laws and evaluation advantage 1

Technical acceptable proposals compliant with U.S. Coastwise laws and evaluation advantage 2

Factor 4. Price Evaluation: The government will determine prices to be fair and reasonable utilizing one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 15.404-1(b) based on the total proposed price for all periods of performance, excluding reimbursables, plus an additional six-month period calculated in accordance FAR Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract. Pricing for the six-month Extension of Services period will be based on half the proposed price, excluding reimbursables, of the final option period. However, the Extension of Services period will not be identified in the resulting contract as an option. Evaluation of options will not obligate the government to exercise the option(s). Proposals with prices determined unreasonable will not be considered for award.

5.2. Order of Importance: Basis for Award. The Government will determine which offerors are responsible and have submitted acceptable technical proposals. The Government will then conduct, only on those technically acceptable offers from responsible offerors, an integrated assessment on of the remaining factors to determine which offerors represents the best value to the Government. Past Performance is significantly more important than the Evaluation Advantage for use of U.S. Shipyards, and when combined, are significantly more important than price.
