2. Scope The work shall include managed services with an Extended Service Plan (ESP) for dispatch support and Technical Assistance Services/Emergency Technical Assistance Services (TAS/ETAS) for the existing Nortel/Avaya CS1000 voice systems and Callware Callegra Voice Mail systems. The ESP shall include on-site dispatch support to resolve complex technical issues that cannot be resolved via remote support, all labor, transportation, materials, demolition, equipment, tools, supervision and incidental related work necessary to fulfill the requirements of the PWS.

3. Period of Performance The period of performance will be a one (1) year base year, with the possibility of four (4) one (1) year option periods. The contract will include FAR Clause 52.217-8, which may be exercised.

4. Tasks The following items are to be covered under this maintenance contract. Paragraphs 4.1 through 4.12 shall be included within the overall annual network maintenance price. No separate billing will occur.

4.1 Technical Support: The Contractor shall provide technical support when requested by the Government technicians or as determined by conditions uncovered during inspections. Initial support is provided by resident qualified Government technicians for over 80% of all operation, maintenance, provisioning, and administration. Any issue beyond the Government’s capability will be referred to the Contractor’s Network Operations Center (NOC) in accordance with the instructions provided by the Contractor, as required in paragraph 7 of the PWS. The Contractor shall provide system database backups, testing, fault isolation, problem resolution, provisioning, administration, operation, maintenances, and system restoration to include Emergency Response and the execution of their responsibilities. The Contractor shall have a twenty (20) calendar day window to rectify all issues before the Government directs the Contractor to escalate the unresolved issue to NorTel/AVAYA. The contractor shall notify the Government of this action and coordinate all transactions with the Government appointed representative.

Technical support shall include, but is not limited to, assistance in adds and changes, provisioning, documentation guides, testing, diagnostic fault isolation, problem resolution, system restoration and reports as they apply to existing hardware and software. The Contractor shall use NorTel/Avaya practices and methodology in the execution of these tasks. All referrals for technical support shall be processed in a timely manner to resolve the issue. The Contractor shall utilize the full extent in providing technical support from start to finish with Government participation when it requires physical card replacement, call processing test, and structural identification. Emergency Restoration will be handled as a top priority, and Emergency Status Determination resides with MCLB Barstow. Emergency is defined as critical system service outage or degraded equipment that is at risk of significantly having a negative network impact.

4.2 ESP Support: ESP support shall be included for on-site dispatch support as needed. The Contractor shall dispatch a technician within the period of eight (8) hours from the time it has been determined that on-site support is required utilizing the process of notifying the NOC.

4.3 Trouble Reporting: A toll free number shall be established and access shall be staffed 24x7x365 for TAS/ETAS support with remote diagnostics and restoration capabilities and direct access to manufacturer NOC facilities.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.209-5 CERTIFICATION REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS (OCT 2015)

(a)(1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that-

(i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals-

(A) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency;

(B) Have ( ) have not ( ), within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property (if offeror checks “have”, the offeror shall also see 52.209-7, if included in this solicitation); and

(C) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision.;

and

(D) Have , have not , within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,500 for which the liability remains unsatisfied.

(1) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(i) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(2) Examples. (i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. Sec. 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. Sec. 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. Sec. 6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

(iv) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

(ii) The Offeror has ( ) has not ( ), within a three-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency.

(2) Principal, for the purposes of this certification, means an officer, director, owner, partner, or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager;

head of a division or business segment; and similar positions).

(b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

(c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Offeror's responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror nonresponsible.

(d) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

(e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for default.

(End of provision)

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.

Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(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. Technical

2. Price

3. Past Performance

(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.

(End of provision)

ADDENDUM:

(d) Basis for contract award - This acquisition is being conducted under FAR Parts 12 and 13.5. Quotations will be evaluated using the factors identified in FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial items. Noncompliance may be grounds to eliminate the quotation from consideration for contract award. Award will be made utilizing a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection method. By submission of its quotation in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions To Offerors, and its Addendum, the quoter agrees to the terms of this solicitation.

Specifically, the evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

First, the quotes will be ranked in order from lowest to highest based on the price. The lowest priced quotation will then be evaluated and receive a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable based on the criteria below. In order to be rated as Acceptable, the Technical quote must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Quotes deemed Unacceptable do not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Past performance will then be evaluated and assigned a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable. In order to be rated as Acceptable, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort, or the quoter’s performance record is unknown.

If the lowest priced quoter’s Technical quote and past performance are rated acceptable, the Government will then evaluate pricing to determine fair and reasonableness per 15.404-1(b)(2).

If the lowest priced quotation is evaluated to have an acceptable technical quote, acceptable past performance, and fair and reasonable prices, per FAR 13.106-3, the Government will complete a responsibility determination IAW the criteria specified in FAR 9.104-1. If found responsible, the Government may stop the evaluation process at this point as that quote represents the best value to the Government. Award shall be made to that quoter without further consideration of any other offers.

If the lowest priced quotation is assigned an unacceptable rating, or if the price is determined not fair and reasonable or if the quoter is found to be non-responsible, the next lowest priced quote will be evaluated. This process will continue (in ascending order) until a quoter is evaluated to have an acceptable technical rating, fair and reasonable prices and the offeror is deemed responsible or until all offers have been evaluated.

The Government reserves the right to evaluate all quotes. The award will be made to the quoter whose quotation represents the best value to the government on a LPTA basis, factoring in price and non-price factors – Technical Capability and Past Performance.

Factor 1: Technical Each offeror’s technical quotation will be evaluated as Acceptable or Unacceptable as defined below:

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Quote meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

To be rated Acceptable the quotation must provide a Technical approach which clearly describes and demonstrates how the quoter will achieve and perform the objectives of the PWS, specifically in paragraphs 4.0 Tasks and 7.0 Additional Support.

Factor 2: Price

In order to be considered for award, price must be determined fair and reasonable and balanced (or if unbalanced pricing exists that it does not pose an unacceptable risk to the Government) using one or more techniques set forth in FAR 15.404-1(b)(2).

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

Factor 3: Past Performance

The Government will conduct a performance risk assessment of the quoter’s record of past and current performance, as well as that of its proposed subcontractors and/or team member as it relates to the probability of successfully performing the requirements of the solicitation. The past performance evaluation will consider the quoter's demonstrated recent (within the past three years) and relevant (PWS paragraphs 2.0, 4.0 and 7.0) record of performance in supplying services that meet the solicitation’s requirements. Quoters are advised that in conducting the past performance assessment, the Government may use data provided in the Quoter’s quote and data obtained from other sources.

Past performance will be rated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis.

Past Performance Evaluation Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Based on the quoter’s performance record, the

Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort, or the quoter’s performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

Unacceptable Based on the quoter’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of a quoter without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

e) The Government reserves the right to award no contract at all depending on the quality of the quotes submitted and availability of funds for the requirement. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a single contract without requesting or accepting revised proposals. Therefore, the offerors will be advised that their initial offer should contain the most favorable terms and reflect its best possible performance potential. The Government does reserve the right to clarify aspects of the proposals and hold discussions.
