PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

AUDIO/VISUAL (AV) EQUIPMENT UPGRADE

Tactical Training and Exercise Control Group (TTECG) Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC), building 1587

1. INTRODUCTION

TTECG requires upgrades and additions to the AV system located aboard MCAGCC, in building 1587. The rooms with the AV system in the building 1587 include the Auditorium (room# 22) and the conference/classrooms include classrooms 1 (room# 24), 2 (room# 25), and 4 (room# 27). This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the requirement for the Contractor to furnish and install AV equipment to replace existing equipment and provide maintenance, warranty and training to the TTECG.

2. SCOPE OF WORK

Equipment: All equipment provided shall be as stated in the attached Equipment List, Brand Name or Equal. The Vendor is responsible for any additional material, labor, and engineering to provide a complete and functional system to the satisfaction of TTECG.

Auditorium

· Laser Projector: This will be the main display for the room. The existing in ceiling projector mount can structurally hold the projector but will need additional reinforcement. Additionally, the projector mount will be adjusted so that the image is centered on the screen. Lastly, include a new dual lamp module will be replaced with a new filter set.

· Control System: Replace the existing touch screen with an open frame touch screen monitor with capacitive touch technology. The existing processor is determined to be operational but, requires a firmware upgrade. The firmware upgrade must be included at no additional cost to TTECG.

· Matrix Video Switcher: The control system AV switcher shall be compatible to allow the system to work more efficiently. The internal cards will be upgraded to the latest revision for compatibility with HDCP 2.0.

· Overflow Function: Extend overflow function from the auditorium to Classrooms 1, 2 and 17.

· Lectern: A larger lectern is required to allow for a larger work surface as well as the proper mounting of the Smart Podium.

· Smart Podium: Retain the existing Smart Podium while repairing and extending the cables. If the current Smart Podium cannot be utilized with the new system, it will be upgraded with a touch enabled monitor.

· Audio System: The audio system throughout the facility will require upgrade. The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) has reached its end of life.

· MCEN Lenovo 440 Laptop: This will act as the main PC for the system. This PC will be required to relate with the interactive display for optimal usage of the new technology. This will receive saved annotations from the interactive display.

· Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS): A 1000VA UPS will be added to the system with individual outlet control for system shutdown.

Classrooms 1 & 2

· Smart Board Projectors: Due to the age of the current projectors, the short throw projectors will be replaced with two 80” annotative displays with Smart Technologies software installed on local PC.

· Room Mode Selection: The programming will be revised so when in “combined mode”, all sources are available on both touch screens.

· Overflow/Auditorium Feed: The feed will not require intervention from the auditorium to allow for viewing of the auditorium feed. The feed will remain “hot” at all times and only when needed will the system switch to the selected input.

· Audio System: As stated above, the audio system throughout the facility will require upgrade.

· Equipment Rack: Two wall mounted racks with security locks will be installed to secure the equipment.

Classroom 4

· Equipment/Rack: The equipment and rack from Classroom 4 will be moved by the vendor for use in classroom 17.

· High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)/ Video Graphics Array (VGA) Capability: One HDMI with VGA/Audio capability will be readily available so that a MCEN Lenovo 440 laptop can be connected to the existing flat panel display.

· Audio: The classroom contains ceiling speakers. Therefore, a local amplifier will be installed and connected to the existing TV’s audio output so that the volume can be adjusted utilizing the TV’s remote controller.

Classroom 17

· Displays: One 70” commercial grade monitor along with two 42” commercial grade monitors will be purchased and installed. The 70” monitor will be mounted on a fixed tilt mount, whereas the 42” monitors will be mounted on either side of the 70” monitor using articulating arm mounts.

· Laptop Connection: One wall mounted wired connection will be installed to include VGA/HDMI & Audio connectivity for use with a MCEN-N Lenovo 440 laptop that is currently installed inside the classroom. .

52.212-2 ADDENDUM

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS--ADDENDUM

Basis for contract award - This acquisition is being conducted under FAR Parts 12. Offers will be evaluated using the factors identified in FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial items. Noncompliance may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award. Award will be made utilizing a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection method. By submission of its offer in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.212-1, Instructions To Offerors, the offeror 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 government's minimum requirements as described in the schedule. Quotes deemed Unacceptable are those that fail to meet the Government's minimum requirements.

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

If the lowest priced offeror’s Technical quote and past performance are rated acceptable, the government will then evaluate pricing to determine fair and reasonableness per FAR 13.106-3.

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 offeror 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 an offeror 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 offeror whose proposal 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 proposal will be evaluated in accordance with the Performance Work Statement Section 2, including the requested certificates, as Acceptable or Unacceptable as defined below:

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

requirements of the solicitation.

requirements of the solicitation.

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 13.106-3.

Factor 3: Past Performance

The Government will conduct a performance risk assessment the offeror’s record of past and current performance, as well as that of its proposed subcontractors and team member as it relates to the probability of successfully performing the requirements of the solicitation. The past performance evaluation will consider the offeror's demonstrated recent (within the past three years) and relevant (providing the items identified in the schedule) record of performance in supplying supplies that meet the solicitation’s requirements. Offerors are advised that in conducting the past performance assessment, the Government may use data provided in the Offeror’s proposal and data obtained from other sources.

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

Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

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

Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an offeror 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 offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

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.

All proposals are to be submitted electronically to april.mcnellie@usmc.mil or may be hand carried or delivered to:

Ms. April McNellie

MAGTFTC/MCAGCC

The email shall not be considered to be delivered unless the entire content of the email and all attachments can be read by the addressee indicated above. Receipt of an electronic acknowledgment from the addressee establishes that a record was received but does not establish that the content sent corresponds to the content received. Email attachments are limited to no more than 2MB. Offerors are specifically warned that email may be subjected to spam filters or attachment stripping.

All transmissions must clearly state the solicitation number and the name of the contracting officer on the first page to ensure proper receipt.

Attention is directed to FAR 52.212-1(f), concerning late submissions. Offerors are responsible for allowing adequate time for transmission to be completed. The offeror bears the risk of non-receipt of transmissions, and should ensure that all pages of the proposal (and any authorized modifications) have been received by the designated office before the deadline indicated. Pages of a transmission that arrive after the deadline will not be considered.
