All proposals in response to this solicitation shall conform to the following requirements:

Proposals shall be submitted electronically using Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and/or Adobe format to Ms. Courtney Rahn-Warner (courtney.rahnwarner@usmc.mil) and Mr. F. Paul Lirio (francis.lirio@usmc.mil). Offerors are advised that the Government may be unable to receive other types of electronic files (e.g., .zip files) or files in excess of eight (8) megabytes. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure that their proposal is received by the date and time listed on the SF1449. No oral presentations will be requested or considered.

After receipt of proposals, the Government may, with or without notice, negotiate with and, if desired, seek proposal revisions from as many or as few Offerors as it, in its discretion, deems appropriate. Proposals are solicited on an “all or none” basis. Failure to submit an offer for all requirements of the PWS shall be the cause for rejection of the offer. Non-compliance with any of the provisions herein may lead the Government to determine that a proposal is non-compliant and may result in removal from the evaluation. Offerors are cautioned not to alter the solicitation.

Offerors shall submit their proposals in three (3) separate volumes as follows:

Volume Description I Administrative Proposal II Non-Price Proposal III Price Proposal

The completion and submission of the above items will constitute a proposal and will be considered the offeror’s unconditional assent to the terms and conditions of this solicitation and any attachments and/or exhibits hereto.

Alternate proposals are not authorized. An objection to any of the terms and conditions of the solicitation will constitute a deficiency (see FAR 15.001), which will make the proposal ineligible for award

QUESTIONS: Offeror’s may submit questions requesting clarification of solicitation requirements. All questions must be received by 10:00 AM EST no later than ten (10) business days after release of the solicitation. All questions shall be submitted electronically via email to Mr. F.

Requirements for Proposal Content

A. Introduction and Purpose – This section specifies the format that offerors shall use in proposals submitted in response to this solicitation. The intent is not to restrict the offerors in the manner in which they will perform their work but rather to ensure a certain degree of uniformity in the format of the proposals for evaluation purposes.

B. The Government does not anticipate a need for offerors to submit classified material in any proposal volume;

therefore, offerors shall not place any classified information in any portion of its proposal.

C. Each volume shall contain the following items in addition to the other information required by this solicitation:

1) Cover – The cover shall indicate the following:

Title of the Proposal Volume Number Solicitation Number Name and Address of Offeror Identification of Original Signature Copies

2) Table of Contents – The table of contents shall provide sufficient detail to allow the important elements to be easily located. The use of tabs and dividers is encouraged.

D. Requirements for Style – The proposal must demonstrate an understanding of and ability to meet all of the requirements set forth in the PWS. The Offeror shall provide sufficient detail to substantiate the validity of all statements. The Offeror shall demonstrate that the proposal is in compliance with the requirements, terms, and conditions of the RFP. Comprehensive responses to the requirements of the RFP are required to enable the Government to evaluate the Offeror 's understanding of and capability to accomplish the requirements of the

PWS.

General statements that the Offeror can or will comply with the requirements, that standard procedures will be used, that well known techniques will be used, or paraphrasing the solicitation’s requirements in whole or in part, will NOT constitute compliance. Failure to conform to any of the requirements of the solicitation may form the basis for rejection of the proposal.

Unnecessary elaboration or other presentations beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are NOT desired and may be construed as an indication of the offeror’s lack of cost consciousness.

Elaborate artwork, expensive paper or bindings, and expensive visual or other presentation aids are neither necessary nor desired. Clarity, completeness, and conciseness are essential and the overall quality of the proposal will be evaluated in the context of being representative of the Offeror’s services.

An Offeror’s proposal is presumed to represent the best efforts to respond to the solicitation. Since only the proposal submitted in response to this solicitation will be evaluated, Offerors shall make certain that their proposal is complete with regard to the information provided. Offerors are responsible for ensuring that their proposal responds to the requirements of this solicitation, and are responsible for ensuring that a proposal contains sufficient detail for the Government to evaluate it. Data previously submitted, or presumed to be known, will not be considered in the evaluation unless that information is physically contained in the proposal.l.

E. Proposal Format

Proposals shall be submitted to the Government as follows:

Volume Description Page Limits Electronic Copies I Administrative Proposal N/A 1 II Non-Price Proposal 30 1 III Price Proposal N/A 1

Offerors are required to submit all required copies of each part of their proposal. Each page of each copy shall include the following legend: “Source Selection Information - See FAR 2.101 and 3.104.” The contractor must apply the appropriate controlled unclassified information (CUI) markings to their proposals (see DFARS 252.204- 7008 and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-171).

Page limitations are inclusive of any appendices, charts, diagrams, and/or other graphics. Each “page” is defined as one sheet, 8.5” x 11”, with at least one inch margins on all sides, using a font with a point size of 12 or greater (e.g., Times New Roman style with 12 point font). Lines shall, at a minimum, be single-spaced. Multiple pages, double pages, two-sided pages, or foldouts will count as an equivalent number of 8.5” x 11” pages. Individual resumes shall not exceed two (2) pages per resume. The cover sheet, table of contents (not to exceed one page per volume), resumes, tabs, and dividers will not count toward the page limit. The one exception to the font size requirement shown above is that the Past Performance Questionnaires may be completed with a point size of 10 or greater. If Volume II exceeds 30 pages, the Government will only evaluate the first 30 pages and will not evaluate any pages after the 30th page.

Pages shall be numbered consecutively within each volume showing volume and page. For example, page 9 of Volume I would be numbered I-9 and page 10 of Volume II would be numbered II-10. Offerors are advised that the Government may selectively verify any information provided in the proposal. Offerors are cautioned that they are responsible to ensure that material that they desire to have evaluated for a particular section is contained in that specific section.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

1.0 Introduction

The Office of the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Safety Division (CMC SD) provides the overall program management for the traffic safety program for all Marine Corps commands and installations and personnel assigned.

Marine Corps Order (MCO) 5100.29C, Volume 3, defines the traffic safety program objective to establish and maintain motor vehicle driving skills, habits, and behaviors in order to reduce injuries and fatalities that negatively impact military readiness. The CMC SD Traffic Safety Program Manager has the responsibility and authority for implementation of the program objective.

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) addresses formal training components in support of the objective for Marine Corps Installations located in the Continental United States (CONUS) and Hawaii. Formal training includes specific recognized courses and curricula that have been accepted by the Traffic Safety Program Manager. This contract will be centrally coordinated by CMC SD and implemented at the Marine Corps Installation (MCI), Safety Division.

2.0 Scope

The purpose of this requirement is to provide current traffic safety training to service members to comply with MCO 5100.29C, Volume 3, which establishes the authority of the Traffic Safety Program Manager to determine course content, structure, and subject matter relevance to the traffic safety training objectives. This regulation may be revised due to legal or regulatory changes, new technologies, or other factors and it is the Government’s intention to incorporate regulatory changes under this contract as required.

The traffic safety training courses shall include: basic and advanced motorcycle safety; basic and advanced off-road vehicle safety; Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle safety; and driver improvement and remediation classes. The training courses identified herein are proprietary curricula that are property of the identified curriculum owners and have been determined by the CMC SD Traffic Safety Program Manager to meet the curriculum content and subject matter requirements under MCO 5100.29C, Volume 3 (see Exhibit A).

Curriculum owners may modify course content, restructure courses, or offer new curricula as a result of legal or regulatory changes, new technologies, or other factors. As these changes are incorporated into MCO 5100.29C, Volume 3, the contractor shall adjust the traffic safety training provided accordingly; however, the contractor shall not incur additional costs for new work under this contract without a properly executed modification by the Contracting Officer. All curriculum content and execution shall be in accordance with the requirements of the identified curriculum provider.

The traffic safety program also provides for various, large-scale events and activities under promotional programs to include Semper Ride and Semper Drive. These events are planned, executed, and funded under a separate contract;

however, some events may require training provided under this Contract. In such cases, the required traffic safety training will be defined and executed under this Contract via Task Order (TO).

The intent of this requirement is to establish training efficiencies that lead to timely delivery of training and consistency across the program through contractor services.

5.8 Curriculum and Providers

5.8.1 Approved Curriculum and Curriculum Owners – The curriculum content and requirements for instructor qualifications are established by and shall be obtained from the listed curriculum owner.

Exhibit B identifies the currently approved curricula, the curriculum owners, and the historical volumes of courses ordered.

5.8.2 Method of Delivery – The curriculum owners establish the requirements for instructor qualifications and the distribution and use of course materials. The Contractor shall provide instructors qualified to deliver the listed courses at each location identified in Section 4.0 of this PWS. The course delivery shall be provided through either of two (2) constructs:

The Contractor may deliver courses using its own employee-instructors (or individual sub-contractors) who are trained and certified to the requirements of the curriculum owner and utilize the materials and course content in accordance with the license requirements of the curriculum owner. This applies to the majority of course content listed above. The Contractor shall not utilize or task Government employees to deliver courses under this Contract or its Task Orders.

The Government may administer courses at its discretion that will be independent of this Contract and its Task Orders.

The Contractor may subcontract the respective curriculum owner or their licensed agents to deliver course content.

5.8.3 Level III Availability – Level III curricula may involve mobilization/demobilization costs, travel, or other costs due to its more limited availability or regional concentration.

5.8.4 Alternative Curricula – Traffic Safety Training is a dynamic industry and the curricula identified herein may be combined, upgraded, or superseded during the period of performance. Additionally, individual state requirements may change with regard to courses acceptable for license waiver or due to changes in Marine Corps, Department of Navy, or Department of Defense requirements.

Consequently, in order to ensure the continuing effectiveness of the traffic safety program over the period of performance, the Government may seek to add or delete specific traffic safety training curricula or modify the locations where specific curricula is to be provided under the provisions of the Changes Clause of the Contract.

5.9 Scheduling and Course Management – The Contractor must coordinate with the regional representative designated by the COR and/or the appropriate Marine Corps Installation Safety Office to identify viable training dates. The Contractor may forecast viable training dates and provide the COR with a prospective schedule (e.g. quarterly training schedules). This schedule may be used by the Government to support Task Order development. Where available, the Contractor may utilize the Enterprise Safety Application Management System (ESAMS) External Enrollment Traffic/Motorcycle Safety Program Risk Management System to facilitate course schedule forecasting and scheduling.

The Contractor shall provide the course materials to each student as required by the specific curriculum for each course conducted and shall inspect training ranges in advance of scheduled training in order to provide sufficient time for correction of any deficiencies.

The Contractor shall set up all signage, range markers, traffic cones, and other items required by the specific curriculum prior to the start of each course and shall return the items upon course completion. This includes all motorcycle training equipment, safety gear, training sites, and classrooms in which training will be performed.

In locations where there are multiple installations within a geographical area, scheduling may be coordinated on a regional basis. The COR or a regional representative designated by the COR will provide the Contractor with rosters, schedules, and other information necessary to deliver courses authorized under a valid Task Order. The roster shall identify each student by name, rank (if applicable), and category and will identify any student who will be utilizing a Government provided training motorcycle.

5.9.1 Contractor Liaison – The Contractor shall designate a Contractor Liaison (CL) to represent task order performance at each installation. CLs shall coordinate the scheduling of courses with the regional representative designated by the COR and/or the appropriate Marine Corps Installation Safety Office.

The CL shall possess the certifications, qualifications, and credentials as specified by the owner of the curriculum for any courses they may be assigned to instruct. In regions where there are multiple installations within a geographical area (see Section 4.0), a single CL may coordinate contractor resources for the regions as follows:

Region Minimum CL

MCI-NCR 1

MCI-East 1 MCI-West 1

MCB-Hawaii 1

The COR or a regional representative designated by the COR will consult with the CL during the scheduling of course schedules and Task Orders to minimize conflicts and ensure the availability of required Government and Contractor resources.

5.9.2 Core Working Hours – Courses may be scheduled during Government core working hours of

7:30AM to 4:00PM local time, on weekends when most students are available, or as order by Staff Judge Advocates for Driver Improvement Training. Higher demand for courses may occur during summer riding season or when deployed units are returning to base. Training may be scheduled on weekends or beyond designated core working hours where improved weather conditions or extended daylight hours provide an advantage to the training delivered or due to local availability of personnel, training ranges, or other resources. Overtime is not anticipated and is not permitted.

Training is not anticipated on Federal holidays, which include New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Veteran’s Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day; however, consistent with Section 2.0, training may be scheduled to coincide with larger promotional programs (e.g. Semper Ride or Semper Drive).

In such cases, task orders will be written for delivery of a specific number of course units at the designated event location and date, but registration may be on-site or on a walk-in basis rather than in advance. For event-related training, the Installation Safety Manager or the regional representative designated by the COR will provide on-site assistance for registration and student management.

5.9.3 Order Of Precedence – The personnel categories below are listed in order of precedence for seats available and are authorized to register for and take courses under this Contract:

Active Duty Marine Corps Personnel Other Active Duty Military Personnel, Military Reservists, and National Guard DoD Civilian Employees, if required by their Position Descriptions

The following personnel categories may fill unused seats on a space available basis in the event that surplus seats exist due to insufficient members of the authorized groups above being present for training:

Dependents of Active Duty Military Personnel Retired Military

5.9.4 Class Size and Attendance – The Contractor shall follow the limits regarding class size and student-to-instructor ratios established by the curriculum owner. The Government may issue multiple “units” of a course to accommodate a larger class. For example, the Government may issue a Task Order for two (2) units of a six (6) student course in order to train up to twelve (12) students in a single class. In such cases, the limits on the number of students and the student-to-instructor ratio set by the curriculum owner must be maintained.

The COR or a regional representative designated by the COR is responsible for directing the appropriate number of students to the training location. Operational demands may result in fewer than the expected number of students reporting for a course; therefore, courses may be overbooked to ensure full classes. In the event of an overbooked course, the contractor shall notify the COR and the Contracting Officer in writing.
