QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Clean Water Support Services Questions and Answers

1. Is this a new requirement? or if not, is there a current or previous contractor who has performed similar services?

If possible, can you please send the incumbent contract or task order number and the contract amount? If this is not a new requirement, can you indicate how many people was required to provide these services?

Answer: This is a new requirement. Vendors shall submit quotes based on the performance requirement tasking as defined in the PWS. See PWS.

2. What is the size (acres) of a typical construction project involved in this project and what is the size of the largest one currently in place or planned to be added to this program?

Answer: Active construction sites vary in size on MCBH, with the typical being around 1 acre. The largest active construction project currently on MCBH is 6 acres in total.

3. Task 3 calls for sample collection and analysis, however, can you indicate what tests do you require? (clarify if the laboratory testing is not to be included).

Answer: Laboratory testing is not to be included. Task 3 is just for the sample collection and packaging for shipment.

4. Can you provide the number of stormwater outfalls that would need to be samples?

Answer: Each sample is to be collected at a different location, so nine (9) sampling locations per year.

Samples shall be collected from either sheet flow runoff or from inside a catch basin.

5. Please provide a map indicating the sampling location(s) or stormwater outfalls. From the MCBH annual monitoring plan.

Answer: All sampling locations are on Marine Corps Base Hawaii. MCBH is approximately five (5) square miles total. Most sample locations are within 1,000 feet of one another. Some locations are within a couple hundred feet. A map will be provided at the time of contract award.

6. Would travel expenses be allowed? We intend to service this contract with a local person(s) working under the supervision of senior experienced personnel whom reside in the mainland and may need to travel to Hawaii from time to time for training, direct supervision and special meetings / presentation.

Answer: All contract related costs, direct and indirect, shall be included in the quote. A separate travel expense shall not be included in any resulting contract.

The following have been modified:

ADDENDUM 52.212-2

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2

EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS

EVALUATION PROCESS: The evaluation will proceed as follows:

Step 1 – The Contracting Officer will review quotes to determine if each vendor has submitted a responsive quote.

To be responsive, vendors must submit all the documentation identified on the ADDENDUM to FAR 52.212-1. A quote may be eliminated from the competition without further consideration if it does not meet the responsiveness requirements.

Step 2 – Responsive quotes will be Technically evaluated.

Step 3 – The technically acceptable quotes will be evaluated for price and will be determined to be fair and reasonable using one or more of the techniques set forth in FAR 15.404-1(b)(2).

Step 4 –Technically acceptable quotes with prices determined to be fair and reasonable will be evaluated for Past Performance IAW Factor 3 below.

a. Basis of Award. The request for quotes uses streamlined simplified acquisition procedures pursuant to FAR Subpart 12.602 and FAR Subpart 13. The Government intends to award a firm fixed price contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose quote conforms to the solicitation, meets the minimum requirements, and will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors are considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate vendors:

Factor 1 – Technical Capability Factor 2 – Price Factor 3 – Past Performance

Basis for award will be to the vendor with an acceptable technical rating and the lowest total evaluated price (TEP).

Past performance/responsibility determination will be conducted on apparent successful vendor only.

As set forth in FAR 52.212-1, the Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with vendors. Therefore, the vendor’s initial quote should contain the vendor’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

b. Evaluation Criteria. Vendors are required to submit the following factors in order to be considered for award.

The following factors shall be provided:

Factor 1 – Technical Capability Factor 2 – Price Factor 3 – Past Performance

Factor 1 – Technical Capability

The Government’s technical evaluation team will evaluate responses to determine if they are either technically acceptable or technically unacceptable (price excluded). In order to be considered technically acceptable, the vendor shall provide a narrative that demonstrates the vendor clearly understands the requirements for Clean Water Support services. In order to be considered technically acceptable, the response for each technical subfactor must be determined acceptable. Failure to meet the technical criteria will render the response to be technically unacceptable and will not be considered further for award.

Technical Capability shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. Legibility, clarity and coherence are very important. Technical capability will be evaluated against the evaluation factors defined in Evaluation criteria. Technical capability should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements; technical capability shall provide convincing rationale to address how the vendor intends to meet the Government’s requirements. Statements such as “the vendor understands, can, or will comply with the PWS,” (including referenced publications, technical data, etc.); statements paraphrasing the PWS or parts thereof (including applicable publications, technical data, etc.); and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used,” etc., will be considered unacceptable and will negatively impact the vendor’s rating. Vendors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their capabilities and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the vendor's proposal. Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed art work, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired. Technical Capability shall not include pricing information.

Acceptable Based on the quote, all technical subfactors receive an acceptable rating.

Unacceptable Based on the quote, one, some or all technical subfactors received an unacceptable rating.

Technical Subfactor 1: Technical Experience The narrative shall include as a minimum the following topics:

a. How the services will be managed to ensure successful execution of the work required in accordance with the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

b. A list of proposed labor categories and descriptions, to include Environmental Engineer. The labor category descriptions shall articulate the qualifications, education levels, knowledge and expertise, background checks, clearances, and PWS tasks assigned.

Minimum standards for all necessary skill sets are included in PWS Section 4.2 special qualification details for key personnel.

Acceptable Based on the quote, the vendor demonstrates their ability to meet PWS requirements with the submitted Technical Capability Statement, within the parameters listed in the evaluation criteria and/or the PWS as appropriate, technical subfactor 1 receives an acceptable rating.

Unacceptable Based on the quote, the vendor does not demonstrate their ability to meet PWS requirements with the submitted Technical Capability Statement, within the parameters listed in the evaluation criteria and/or the PWS as appropriate, technical subfactor 1 receives an unacceptable rating.

Technical Subfactor 2: Staffing Plan

a. The vendor shall provide a written Staffing Plan IAW section 24 of the PWS that fully demonstrates how the vendor is going to meet and manage the PWS requirements, processes and procedures.

b. For evaluation purposes only utilize 21 June 2021 as the contract start date.

c. The plan shall be no more than five (5) pages in length (this does not include any cover sheets or table of contents).

Acceptable Based on the quote, the Government determined the vendor is able to meet PWS requirements with the submitted Staffing Plan, technical subfactor 2 receives an acceptable rating.

Unacceptable Based on the quote, the Government determined the vendor did not demonstrate their ability to meet PWS requirements with the submitted Staffing Plan, technical subfactor 2 receives an unacceptable rating.

Factor 2 – Price Only those vendors who receive a Factor 1 Technical Capability rating of “Acceptable” will be considered for price evaluation.

a. Price should be provided on the Standard Form (SF)1449. All amounts shall be rounded to the nearest hundredth decimal place. The lowest total evaluated price quote acceptable for award will be evaluated based on the combined total of the base year and all option periods. If competitive quotes are not received, the Government reserves the right to utilize other methods identified in the FAR to determine price reasonableness. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award without discussions; therefore quotes should be the vendor’s best pricing. Regarding the calculation of pricing, please refer to FAR 52.212-2(b).

The vendor’s price submission, to include options, will be evaluated. The contractor’s prices for the base period and all options, to include the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Clause 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services, will be evaluated to include any discounts.

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. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). As part of the price evaluation, the Government will evaluate the Option to Extend Services under FAR Clause 52.217-8 by adding one-half of the vendor’s base period prices to the vendor's total price. Thus, the vendor's total evaluated price (TEP) for the purpose of evaluation ONLY will include the base period and one-half of the base year. Vendors are required only to price the base period.

Factor 3 – Past Performance

Past performance will be evaluated for the responsive, technically acceptable quote with the lowest TEP and will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. If that quote receives an acceptable Past Performance rating then that quote is considered the best value to the Government.

The past performance evaluation will determine if there is any unsatisfactory past performance for the type of services required under this acquisition. The past performance evaluation performed does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the vendor’s past performance. Past performance will be found either acceptable or unacceptable based on information obtained from the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), provided by the Automated Determination of Responsibility (DORA) bot, for those services similar in size, scope and complexity to this acquisition performed within the last five (5) years preceding the date this request for quote (RFQ) was initially issued. Any less than satisfactory rating may be cause for an unacceptable rating.

If a vendor does not have a record of relevant past performance history, the vendor will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for its past performance record. Please note that previous Government contract experience is not required.

Acceptable Based on the vendor’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the vendor will successfully perform the required effort, or the vendor’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the vendor’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the vendor will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

A written notice of award or acceptance of a vendor, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor within the time for acceptance specified in the vendor, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the vendor’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 after award.
