SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 04-Aug-2017 01:00 PM to 15-Aug-2017 01:00 PM.

The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS & REPONSES

Question: How many buildings is the EMCS (with existing required level of effort) currently supporting?

Response: We currently have over 400 buildings that our EMCS folks are supporting with a possibility of adding additional building from new MILCON construction.

Question: Can you advise if they are multiple buildings (size in terms of square footage).

Response: We are currently supporting buildings that are 10,000 square feet or more but do have a few that are smaller square footage.

Question: Is the expectation that all personnel must be on site?

Response: Yes, all personnel must be located on site to perform the work.

Question: We know of no way that industry has a way of submitting for T3 investigations without going through

JPAS. However, Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12 was issued stating the following: DoD has implemented HSPD-12 for the un-cleared contractor population that requires a NACI background investigation for physical or logical access to government systems or installations which states that Government agencies are responsible for paying for, submitting, and adjudicating NACI investigations. OPM's CVS system will store HSPD-

12 adjudicative determinations. FSOs should not be creating JPAS records for personnel who do not require access to classified information. If a government activity is asking an FSO to enter data into JPAS for the un-cleared contractor population, please contact AskPSMO-I@dss.mil and provide the government installation making the request.

Please provide information on the process required to have un-cleared personnel initiated for clearance through government channels or advise of how industry can request the required investigation without utilizing JPAS.

Response: The requirements are for all personnel with limited privileged access to have a fully adjudicated T3 investigation (that equates to a secret security eligibility but the Technicians won't ever have access to secret information). This means the government will initiate the T3 investigation with finger print reading, then it is on the individual contractor to complete the necessary documentation. The DD-254 indicates that the contractor will NOT have direct access classified information, and will NOT be in a facility that has classified information (which the

DD254 already states). The PWS has been changed to reflect this information.

Question: Please clarify the relevancy period for Past Performance. Page 18 of 47 states “3 years” while page 21 of

47 states “5 years”.

Response: 52.212-2 has been changed to reflect 3 years in both cases.

Question: Is there anything to prevent the other two resources from covering for the third resource while he/she is on vacation?

14.0 page 11 “The contractor shall provide a backup resource during vacation periods for support personnel.”

Response: No. The PWS has been changed to “The contractor is responsible for maintaining the acceptable quality level of performance as required by the PRS during vacation periods for support personnel. The determination of how to do that is the Contractor’s responsibility.”

Question: Historically how many miles have been driven over the contract in reference to 6.6?

6.6 Contract services require travel throughout Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station, New River, NC and their satellite activities located within 50 miles of the Camp Lejeune main gate. Travel between the different locations is considered inherent to the support services detailed in the PWS and will not be reimbursed.

Response: A good estimate is 1,000 miles total per week on (3) vehicles for a total of 156,000 miles over 3 years.

Question: Please define what type of computers, software, general tools, and help-center assets are currently being utilized to support your requirements.

Response: Government will provide; (4) NMCI Computers with full version Microsoft Office 2013, Visio, and

Microsoft Projects, (3) MRAN Computers (From G-6), Desk, Chair, Locker Cabinet, and File Cabinet. An oscilloscope and application laptops for various control systems is shared with Government employees and can be checked out as needed.

Vender is currently providing; Magnahelic 0-0.5" and a 0-10", Cat5/6 Cable Crimping tool, Fluke Digital Multi-

Meter, Screw Drivers, Strippers, Allen Wrenches, Standard Crimping and cutting wire tools, Null Modem Cables, Cat5/6 Patch Cables, Cell Phone and Charger, Printer, Non-DOD Internet Connection(If needed), Network Switch, Network Hub, Portable Hard Drive, Chair and Table, Battery Drill, Hack Saw, Flashlight, 24vac Power Supply, Basic Office Supplies (paper, pens, paper clips, highlighters, staplers, scissors, markers, printer ink, tape), Laptop

(included Software: MS Office, Visio, Various Niagara Version Software), Vehicle, Ladders (6' and 8'), Fall Arrest

Harness, Arc Flash Protective Gear, Hard Hat, Reflective Vest, Safety Glasses, Gloves, Safety Cone, First Aid Kit, Ear Plugs, Lock Out Tag Out Kit, GFCI Adapter, Fire Rated Coveralls, Rain Gear, Monthly Safety Training, Updated Periodic Application Training.

Question: Do all current personnel staffing the contract have a favorable adjudicated T3 background investigation?

Response: No. This is a new requirement that was levied on us during the 2nd option year by MCIEAST MCB G6.

Current technicians are working to achieve favorable adjudicated T3 background investigation now.

Question: Are current resources utilizing their own personal vehicles?

Response: The current technicians are utilizing company owned vehicles.

Question: .Do all current resources supporting the contract currently possess the items in 6.4 Personnel minimum education/experience/ credentials/qualifications?

Response: Yes, all but Security+ (Two Technicians have Security+ certificates and one will be testing prior to Sept

1 2017).

Question: (i.e. is there any issue with offering right of first refusal to current resources?

Response: No, it is required 52.222-17, Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers (May 2014) (E.O. 13495) under

FAR Clause 52.212-5 (c)

Question. Please define what specific licenses and certs are required per 6.7

The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary licenses and certifications and for complying with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws. The Contractor shall maintain updated copies of any applicable licenses and certifications for all employees and make them available to the Government upon request.

Response: This refers to the certifications required in the PWS in paragraphs 6.3, 6.4.1, 11.0 and 12.0 of the PWS.

Question: You noted three resources were currently providing services. Has anything within the SOW changed to indicate fewer or more resources would be required to satisfactorily provide services to the government?

Response: Currently the work is being performed in a satisfactory manner with three (3) technicians. However, not all EMCS systems have been put online and are operational.

Question: In section 8.0 it notes “The Contractor agrees to assign to the contract those persons whose resumes, personnel data forms or personnel qualification statements were submitted, as required by the RFQ, to fulfill the requirements of the contract. No substitution of personnel shall be made except in accordance with the information specified herein.” We understand there are incumbents providing services, are resumes required?

Response: Yes, resumes for all proposed personnel shall be submitted.

Question: If so, please provide a manning document complete with contact information so we may obtain the required information.

Response: You will need to contact Johnson Controls regarding employees and Hoffman Building Technologies regarding employees.

Question: Based on the RFQ, employees are required to be T3 cleared, is the company required to have their FCL in place prior to award?

Response: No

Question: Will the Government sponsor the awarded company for a FCL if needed?

Response:No The government will initiate the T3 investigation with finger print reading within three days of the start of the period od performance.

Question: In regards to this effort my FCO pulled the DD254 to review the security clearance required for the proposed FTEs and we found a conflict within the document. In section 1A the DD254 says no facility clearance is required but in section 13 the form says T3 is required. Later in in section 13 it also says "Low Risk Non Critical

Sensitive" which is actually defined as Tier 1, per the Federal Investigative Standards. The FCO also called DSS and upon their review of the DD254 they agreed the form is not written correctly and is not clear which level of security is required, either T1 or T3. Please confirm what security level is required for this effort.

Response: The requirements are for all personnel with limited privileged access to have a fully adjudicated T3 investigation (that equates to a secret security eligibility but the Technicians won't ever have access to secret information). This means the government will initiate the T3 investigation with finger print reading, then it is on the individual contractor to complete the necessary documentation. A revised DD254 will be provided at time of award.

The following have been modified:

9.0 WAGE DETERMINATION.

9.1 The contractor is advised that this procurement is subject to the requirements of the Service Contract Act of

1965, as amended. The applicable Wage Determination is 2015-4389 Rev 4 dated 08 June 2017.

The labor categories and wage rates that may be applicable to this requirement are:

Occupational Title(s)

14000 - Information Technology Occupations

14101 - Computer Systems Analyst I See 1 Computer Employees below

THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE

FOLLOWING:

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determination does not apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Because most Computer System Analysts and

Computer Programmers who are compensated at a rate not less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 per week) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals, (29

C.F.R. 541. 400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupations within those job families. In addition, because this wage determination may not list a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the survey data indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds $27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. For example, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs duties within the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmer occupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate, then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with the conformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wage determination.

Additionally, because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry, job titles are not determinative of the application of the computer professional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of:

(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional specifications;

(2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and related to user or system design specifications;

(3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer programs related to machine operating systems; or

(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which requires the same level of skills.

(29 C.F.R. 541.400).

9.2 Under Executive Order (EO) 13658, an hourly minimum wage of $10.20 for calendar year 2017 applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2015. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must pay all workers in any classification listed on this wage determination at least $10.20 per hour (or the applicable wage rate listed on this wage determination, if it is higher) for all hours spent performing on the contract in calendar year 2017.

9.3 The Contractor agrees to furnish the Contracting Officer a copy of any collective bargaining agreement applicable to employees performing under this contract.

10.0 CONTRACTOR’S UNAUTHORIZED WORK PERFORMANCE

The contractor shall not perform work that deviates from contract requirements and specifications. If the contractor deviates from contract requirements and specifications without approval of the CONTRACTING OFFICER, such deviation shall be at the risk of the contractor and any cost related thereto shall be borne by the contractor.

11.0 LIABILITY, AUTOMOBILE AND WORKMAN’S COMPENSATION INSURANCE

The contractor shall comply with provisions and requirements as contained herein:

Required Insurance (IAW FAR 28.306 (b)The contractor shall maintain insurance in the minimum amount specified below and as required by FAR 52.228-5, Insurance – Work on a Government Installation”, at its own expense, procure and thereafter maintain the following kinds of insurance with respect to performance under this contract.

a. Workmen’s Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance as required by law except that if this contract is to be performed in a state which does not require or permit private insurance, then compliance with the statutory or administrative requirements in any such state will be satisfactory. The required Workmen’s Compensation insurance shall extend to cover Employer’s liability for accidental bodily injury or death and for occupational disease with a minimum liability limit of $100,000.

b. General Liability Insurance. Bodily injury liability insurance, in the minimum limits of $100,000 per person and

$500,000 per occurrence shall be required on the comprehensive form of the policy.

c. Automobile Liability Insurance. This insurance shall be required on the comprehensive form of the policy and shall provide injury liability and property damage liability covering the operation of all automobiles used in the connection with the performance of the contract. At least the minimum limits of $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $20,000 per occurrence for property damage shall be required.

12.0 CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE REQUIRED

In accordance with the clause entitled “Insurance-Work on a Government Installation” ( FAR 52.228-5 ), the contractor shall furnish to the Contracting Officer, a certificate or written statement of insurance prior to commencement of work under the contract.

15.0. QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN. The government shall monitor Contractor(s) performance in accordance with the Quality Assurance Plan (QASP).

15.1.1 A Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) has been developed and will be applied in the administration of the EMCS support service contract to ensure Performance Work Statement (PWS) services meet the

Government’s technical requirements for quality and completeness at the cost and within the timeframes established by the contract. These services are performed for Parachute Loft and Boat Locker at MCB Camp Lejeune, NC.

15.2 This plan outlines procedures and guidelines that will be used to monitor the Contractor’s compliance with submitting deliverables and ensure all work is in accordance with the contract requirements. The Contractor is the owner of the quality control process and is responsible for developing, implementing, and modifying procedures that will produce the desired outcomes and result in performance of work within the required standards. The intent of the QASP is to ensure that the Contractor is complying with its quality control systems.

15.3 This QASP is intended to provide the Government’s Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) an effective and systematic method of surveillance for each service in the PWS. The Government resources shall have responsibilities for the implementation of this QASP as follows:

Contracting Officer – The Contracting Officer ensures performance of all necessary actions for effective contracting, ensures compliance with the terms of the contract, and safeguards the interests of the United States in the contractual relationship. It is the Contracting Officer that assures the Contractor receives impartial, fair, and equitable treatment under the contract. The Contracting Officer is ultimately responsible for the final determination of the adequacy of the Contractor’s performance.

Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) – The COR is responsible for technical administration of the contract and assures proper Government technical surveillance of the Contractor’s performance. The COR is not empowered to make any contractual commitments or to authorize any contractual changes on the Government’s behalf. Any changes that the Contractor deems may affect contract, price, terms, or conditions shall be referred to the

Contracting Officer for action.

15.4 The COR will conduct an initial review of the Contractor’s quality control process to verify its adequacy.

During the course of service performance, the COR will monitor the process for managing performance in a quality, timely, complete, safe, and cost efficient manner. Level of surveillance will initially be set to assure the COR that requirements of the PWS are being met and that a process exists and is in place to ensure quality. If, during the course of this surveillance, the COR discovers the service provider is not complying with the established level of quality, the COR may increase the level of surveillance. If performance exceeds the established level of quality, the

COR may decrease the level of surveillance. All documents to support methods of surveillance shall be filed in a

Quality Assurance file for the contract.

The COR will act as the Contracting Officer‘s representative for technical matters, providing technical direction and discussion as necessary with respect to the specification or statement of work, and monitoring the progress and quality of contractor performance. The COR is not an Administrative Contracting Officer and does not have the authority to take any action, either directly or indirectly, that would change the pricing, quantity, quality, place of performance, delivery schedule, or any other terms and conditions of the contract, or to direct the accomplishment of effort which goes beyond the scope of the statement of work in the contract.

When, in the opinion of the contractor; the COR request effort outside the existing scope of the contract, the contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing. No action shall be taken by the contractor under such direction until the Contractor Officer has issued a modification to the contract (or delivery order) or has otherwise resolved the issue.

In the absence of the COR named above (due to reasons such as leave, illness, or official travel), all responsibilities and functions assigned to the COR shall be the responsibility of the Contract Specialist acting on behalf of the COR.

The name of the COR for this contract will be provided at the time of contract award via separate email.

17.0 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS

The Contractor acknowledges that it is familiar with FAR Subpart 9.5, Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of

Interest, and agrees to avoid, neutralize or mitigate such conflicts of interest in accordance with the principles set forth in the FAR.

18.0. BASE ACCESS

18.1. Marine Corps Installations East - Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River have implemented the new RAPIDGate program intended to enhance installation access control. However, RAPIDGate contains significant changes that may affect contractor’s and their employee’s access to these installations. In order to gain access to Marine Corps Base (MCB), Camp Lejeune and/or Marine Corps Air Station

(MCAS), New River, non-Federal Government and non-DoD issued ID cardholders require identity proofing and vetting to determine fitness and eligibility for access. Specifically, a check of records through the National Crime

Information Center (NCIC) Interstate Identification Index (III) is the installation's minimum background check for access to MCB, Camp Lejeune and/or MCAS, New River for non-Common Access Card holders, to include entrance of visitors.

18.2. MCB, Camp Lejeune and MCAS, New River applies the following non-Federal Government cardholder criteria to determine the authorized type of access control credentials:

a. Contractors: RAPIDGate or 30-Day Pass followed by 4-DayPass*

b. Sub-Contractors: RAPIDGate or 30-Day Pass followed by 4-Day Pass*

c. Vendors: RAPIDGate or 30-Day Pass followed by 4-Day Pass*

d. Suppliers: RAPIDGate or 30-Day Pass followed by 4-Day Pass*

e. Service Providers: RAPIDGate or 30-Day Pass followed by 4-Day Pass*

f. Delivery Personnel: RAPIDGate or 30-Day Pass followed by 4-Day Pass*

g. Public-Private Venture (PPV) Housing and Installation Volunteers: Local Population

Credential (The following are examples of Installation Volunteers: (Red Cross, Community

College Instructors and Students, Commissary Baggers, Naval Hospital Volunteers, Family

Readiness Volunteers, Wounded Warrior Volunteers, and any other organization approved by the Commanding General, Marine Corps Installation East-Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Commanding Officer, MCAS, New River)

18.3. Contractor Common Access Card (CAC) Eligibility: Contractor personnel authorized CAC’s are exempt from

RAPIDGate enrollment.

18.4. Contractor personnel who are ineligible for a CAC will be required to either obtain a 30-Day pass followed by a 4-Day pass* or enroll in the RAPIDGate Program. RAPIDGate is a voluntary program due to associated costs.

For further information concerning contractor access, please contact the Contractor Vetting Office at 910-450-5978 or visit Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune (http://www.lejeune.marines.mil/) or MCAS New River

(http://www.newriver.marines.mil/) websites. For information concerning enrolling in RAPIDGate please visit their website at www.rapidgate.com.

The Government will not be responsible for any access delays. Delays that may result from inadequate planning are contractor responsibility. Any and all costs associated with RAPIDGate are the sole responsibility of the contractor.

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

(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:

This is a request for OPEN MARKET PRICED quotes. The proposed acquisition is 100% set-aside for Small

Business. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541513 Computer

Facilities Management Services and the associated size standard is $27.5 million.

BASIS OF AWARD: The Government will solicit and award this contract using simplified acquisition procedures, in accordance with FAR Part 12 and Subpart 13.5.

The term “offeror” or “offer” as used in FAR 52.212-1 shall be understood to mean “Quoter” and “quote,” respectively. Further, the term “award” shall be understood to describe the Government’s issuance of a purchase order in response to a request for quotes (RFQ).

The basis of the award is “Best Value” to the Government. The Government will issue a single firm fixed-price purchase order on an "all or none" basis. However, the Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of the quotes submitted. The Government will award a single contract resulting from this request for quotes to the responsible vendor whose quote, conforming to the RFQ; will be most advantageous to the

Government, price and other factors considered. Quotes will be evaluated in an efficient and minimally burdensome fashion. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to evaluate quotes without the use of formal evaluation procedures such as establishing a competitive range, conducting discussions, scoring quotations, and to make an award to other than the lowest quote.

Evaluation Factors: (1) Technical Capability to include Management Approach, Staffing Plan with Resumes, and ability to provide personnel on the first day of the period of performance; (2) Past Performance; and (3) Price.

Quotes will be evaluated using a price/technical tradeoff. This process is appropriate because it is in the

Government’s best interest to consider award to other than the lowest price. When combined, all non-cost factors are significantly more important than the price. In evaluating the technical portion of the quote, the technical evaluators will evaluate the following factors and subfactors as described in the “Basis of Award”. The factors of

Technical Capability and Past Performance are weighted equally. All technical subfactors are weighted equally.

Technical Capability and Past Performance, when combined, are significantly more important than the price

EVALUATION. Vendors responding to this announcement shall submit their quote in accordance with FAR

52.212-1. Submission of quote shall include the following:

Technical Capability – Factor 1

Technical and Management Approach – The offeror’s technical and management approach shall, at a minimum, address each of the following factors separately, as they apply to the Performance Work Statement (PWS). All offerors’ quotes will be evaluated using the following criteria. The quote must include a comprehensive and expanded explanation of how each of the following factors would be satisfied. Merely restating the PWS requirement is not acceptable.

Sub factor A: Demonstrates an acceptable work accomplishment plan to perform the work with properly qualified individuals and a thorough understanding of the PWS. This shall also include an explanation as to how the contractor will comply with the Acceptable Quality Level for Maintaining Required Staffing

Levels identified in the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS). Each quote will be evaluated to determine the adequacy of the contractors proposed plans, methods and procedures to accomplish the tasks contained in the PWS. Each quote will be evaluated for their completeness in addressing all areas contained in the PWS, their demonstrated understanding of the scope of the PWS, and their adequacy in proposing a work plan that will meet the Government’s requirement.

Sub factor B: Provides an organization chart that clearly describes proposed staffing meeting the staffing level stated in the PWS and how the work will be accomplished utilizing this staffing.

Sub factor C: Submit resumes and any other information for personnel, that demonstrate their experience and qualifications to perform the duties of this contract as stated in the PWS

2) Past Performance- Factor 2.

A determination will be made that the quoter has satisfied its customers in the past and demonstrated adequate experience in performing relevant similar projects of similar size, scope, and complexity within the past three (3) years. Information utilized to come to that conclusion will be obtained from the references listed in the quote, other customers known to the Government, consumer protection organizations, others who may have relevant information and a review of the…
