The Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island main gate is located off Heckscher Drive to the immediate left just after crossing the causeway that accesses Blount Island. MCSF-BI occupies the eastern half of Blount Island and is collocated with the Jacksonville Port Authority (JaxPort) who owns the western half of the Island.

The purpose of the site visit is to allow contractors the opportunity to receive a presentation/overview regarding Navy Watercraft Afloat Maintenance Services (NWAMS) as well as inspection of ship living accommodations and review of available watercraft ; the preproposal conference WILL NOT provide a tour of a watercraft laden ship nor will the offerors have an opportunity to review actual watercraft (ship check) requiring afloat maintenance.

Failure of a contractor to submit questions regarding this requirement or to attend the Site Visit will be construed to mean that the contractor fully understands all requirements of the statement of work and Request for Proposal.

L-5 PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS (ITO)

1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The instructions in this clause prescribe the format of proposals, and describe the approach for the development and presentation of the proposed data. The proposal shall include all of the information requested in the specific instructions. The offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offerors best terms from a technical and price standpoint. Failure to include all information requested may adversely affect the evaluation or may cause the proposal to be rejected. A proposal that merely reiterates or promises to accomplish the requirements of the SOW will be considered unacceptable. In addition, offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror’s proposal and other obtained Past Performance Information. A proposal that is orderly and sufficiently documented will enable the Government to easily understand and perform a thorough and fair evaluation.

1.1 General Information

This section provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. Each volume shall be complete in itself. Unless otherwise specified, any form of presentation, such as narrative, pictures, tables, graphs, schematics, logic and other functional block diagrams may be used to provide a concise description of information. The construction of each volume shall be separate and independent; each volume must stand on its own and therefore not require extensive searching throughout the document(s) to locate and evaluate each any items or area being evaluated.

1.2 Proprietary Information

Each offeror shall include a statement indicating whether it has made use of any proprietary or patent information in their Cover Letter. In the event that use of such information is anticipated, the specific areas of use by the offeror and their subcontractors must be clearly defined, including whether limited or unlimited rights are applicable in accordance with DFARS 252.227-7013 and 252.227-7016.

2. ESTIMATED PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE FOR PROPOSAL PREPARATION

This solicitation covers a base ordering period of 60 months IAW DFARS 217.204(e)(1)(B) and a six month extension of contract services IAW FAR 52.217-8.

Contractual Coverage Period of Performance

Base Ordering Period From award date continuing for 5 years

Extension of Services 6 months IAW FAR Clause 52.217-8

3. PROPOSAL FOCUS AREAS

The Government has identified the following areas of concern relative to the provision of the following services:

· Afloat Personnel Staffing (C.6) – Historically, afloat maintenance personnel staffing has been inadequate to meet maintenance and exercise requirements. This can be attributed to higher than anticipated employee turnover due to the remote location of duty, compensation considerations, and high exercise operational tempo. In addition, the resultant contract requires all afloat personnel to be U.S. citizens, further impacting personnel availability.

· Corrosion Control - The afloat maintenance environment has an ongoing adverse effect on the watercraft coating systems which must be continually mitigated by organizational level corrosion control activity. The government considers organizational level maintenance to be Preventative Maintenance and accomplished by cross utilization of embarked NAVMC personnel during preventative maintenance activities.

· Watercraft Readiness- Afloat watercraft are required to be launched with no notice in support of contingency and/or exercise operations, afloat watercraft must be Full Mission Capable (FMC) at time of launch as determined by Joint Limited Inspection.

10. VOLUME III – COST/PRICE PROPOSAL

The purpose of the Cost/Price Proposal volume is to include all pertinent contract and cost information.

10.1 Standard Proposal Information

10.2 Cost/Price

In accordance with FAR 15.403-3, information other than certified cost or pricing data is required to support the reasonableness, completeness and realism of proposed cost/price of this requirement. The Government retains the right to request additional supporting cost information through the course of the evaluation. The cost/price proposal shall contain a complete and traceable description of all costs/prices for each CLIN/SLIN. Offerors shall provide the cost detail to support proposed prices to include: individual labor categories, labor hours required to meet the requirements, proposed labor rates (inclusive of compensation incentives), fringe benefit rate, overhead rate, General & Administrative indirect rates, and profit. The cost/price detail shall provide all cost detail associated with proposed prices.

An offeror’s proposal shall represent the offeror’s best efforts to respond to the solicitation. Any inconsistency between promised performance and cost shall be explained in the proposal.

Subcontract Pricing Considerations in accordance with FAR 15.404-3. The prime contractor or proposed subcontractor(s) shall analyze costs/prices to establish reasonableness of proposed subcontract prices, and include the results and supporting documentation related to these analysis (es) in the cost/price proposal.

Compliance with the instructions is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your proposal. Note that unrealistically low or high proposed costs/prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or has made an unrealistic proposal. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed costs rests with the offeror.

Offerors who submit uncompensated overtime shall comply with the requirements of FAR 52.237-10 Identification of Uncompensated Overtime. Offerors must conduct a workload analysis for all RFP labor requirements.
