Index pages and Tabs are required and shall be cross-referenced to the Table of Contents. Every page, except those marked as blank, shall be numbered. The numbering system shall uniquely identify each page throughout the proposal. (i.e. each page number in each volume or appendix shall only be used once.) If the proposal exceeds the page limit identified, the Government will remove all pages exceeding the specified page count from the back of the applicable proposal section/area prior to the evaluation and will not evaluate these pages. These pages will not be removed from the index or appendices provided at the back of the proposal.

The first page of each proposal volume shall be in accordance with FAR 52.215-1, paragraph (c) (2).

Offerors are cautioned that, in accordance with the “Instruction to Offerors-Competitive Acquisitions” clause (FAR 52.215-1), the Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract on the basis of initial proposals received, without discussions. Therefore, each proposal shall contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

Competitive Range

If awards are not made on the basis of initial proposals, the Contracting Officer will make the determination as to which proposals are in the “Competitive Range.” Based on the ratings of each proposal against all evaluation criteria, the contracting officer shall establish a competitive range comprised of the most highly rated proposals. However, the number of proposals within the competitive range may be reduced if the Contracting Officer determines the number of most highly rated proposals that might otherwise be included within the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted.

Discussion/Final Proposal Revision

If Discussions are conducted, the PCO will request Final Proposal Revisions (FPRs). Only information included in the FPR will be evaluated.

Cross Referencing

Each volume shall be written to the greatest extent possible on a stand-alone basis so that its content may be evaluated with a minimum of cross referencing to other volumes of the proposal.

Information required for proposal evaluation which is not found in its designated volume may be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal.

NON-PRICE FACTORS

Factor 1: Technical/Management Approach Element 1.1: Vessel Dismantling Capability and Technical Approach Element 1.2: Management Capability and Approach Element 1.3: Small Business Utilization/Participation Element 1.4: Environmental Management Element 1.5: Safety and Health Management Element 1.6: Emergency Response

3.1 MANDATORY COMPLIANCE

3.1.1 DOCUMENTATION OF NRC WORK EXPERIENCE

Provide evidence, the Offeror, including any subcontractor or business group members, has performed as the prime Contractor, under NRC license and regulation, radiological work, including decommissioning, dismantlement, materials processing, or radiological material fabrication or repair, with an aggregate contract value of at least $300M (in 2024 dollars) within the past five (5) calendar years from the date of the solicitation. For work on projects that have started but not yet completed within the past five years, the value of the work completed within the past five years may be counted toward meeting the $300M total. Evidence such as the first page of any applicable contract(s) will be accepted.

3.1.2 WRITTEN AGREEMENT OF PRE-APPROVAL FOR 20% PERFORMANCE BOND

Provide evidence of a written agreement by a third-party institution to provide a performance bond valued at 20% of the total proposed price, to be effective the date the Offeror takes possession of the

EX-ENTERPRISE.

3.1.3 WRITTEN AGREEMENT OF PRE-APPROVAL FOR 1.5m CUBIC FEET EASEMENT

FOR CONTRACT

Provide demonstrated ability to provide an easement, or other contractual right for the Navy to dispose of up to 1,500,000 cubic feet of low-level radioactive waste containing no more than 10% of NRC Class A limits from dismantlement of the ex-ENTERPRISE VESSEL to be effective upon the date the Contractor takes possession of ex-ENTERPRISE. The Offeror could draw upon this easement during ex-ENTERPRISE dismantlement. Since this easement would only be for ex-ENTERPRISE dismantlement waste, upon completion of dismantlement, the easement would confer no additional rights and would no longer have any effect. Alternatively, in lieu of this easement, the Offeror may elect to provide evidence of a written agreement by a third-party institution to provide an additional performance bond for completion of the contract valued at 30% of the total contract price (i.e., increase the total value of the performance bonds for the contract to 50% of the total contract price), effective the date the Offeror takes possession of ex-ENTERPRISE. If the Offeror elects to provide the additional performance bond in lieu of the easement described above, the offeror shall be responsible for providing or purchasing any required radioactive waste disposal services.

3.1.4 WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH DISPOSAL SITE OWNER, THAT DISPOSAL

OPERATIONS ARE ALLOWED

Provide written agreement between the Offeror and dismantlement site owner that proposed dismantlement site operations are allowed.

3.1.5 DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE OF NOTIFICATION OF APPROPRIATE LOCAL AND

STATE OFFICIALS OF THE DISPOSAL OPERATIONS

Provide evidence the Offeror has informed appropriate State and local officials the Offeror’s intent to prepare a proposal to perform the dismantlement and disposal of ex-ENTERPRISE described in this solicitation at a specific location within the jurisdiction of those Local and State official(s). At a minimum, the Offeror must provide evidence these officials have been informed of the scope of work to be performed and the radiological regulatory framework. The Offeror shall also provide an assessment of the feasibility of performing the dismantlement of ex-ENTERPRISE at the proposed location for the work in the context of the outreach conducted by the Offeror, including any feedback or comments from the Local and State officials that were contacted.

The term ‘appropriate’ in the context of the officials to be contacted noted above may include, but are not limited to, elected officials, duly authorized representative(s) of the agency or agencies that will oversee business and environmental permits required to perform the tasks in the statement of work, emergency response organizations, and State and/or municipal authorities for ports, harbors, and/or economic development zones where the work is proposed be performed. The Offeror shall provide justification for the officials determined by the Offeror to be ‘appropriate’ in the context of the Local and State jurisdiction where the work is proposed to be performed.

3.1.6 OFFEROR PROVIDE COMPLETED FAR PART 50 REQUEST FOR PL 85-804

INDEMNIFICATION

Offerors shall provide written corporate agreement to perform this contract with nuclear indemnification under Public Law 85-804. Offerors must furnish the information required by FAR 50.104-3, Special Procedures for Unusually Hazardous or Nuclear Risks, in Volume II of its proposal. Offerors are advised that a request for indemnification coverage does not ensure coverage will be granted.

3.1.7 OFFEROR PROVIDE COMPLETED REQUEST FOR TRANSFER OF POSSESSION PER

10 CFR 30. 34(b)(2)(i)(i)

Offerors shall submit a Request to Transfer Possession. The request should reflect the information specified in 10 CFR 30.34(b)(2)(i), the NR-NRC Interagency Agreement (Attachment J-4), and additional information necessary to understand the Offeror’s planned activities following acceptance of the ship and prior to approval of the Decommissioning Work Plan (DWP) described elsewhere in this contract.

Note: The Request to Transfer Possession shall be separate from other documents submitted as part of the Offeror’s proposal, and shall not contain proprietary information, nor be marked proprietary.

The Government will review the successful Offeror’s request to Transfer Custody of the vessel and inspect their facility. The Request to Transfer Possession will be reviewed by NRC and approved by NAVSEA as described in the Interagency Agreement (Attachment J-4). Once transfer custody of vessel and facility site is approved to receive the vessel, the Government will deliver the ship to the Offeror’s facility. Actual delivery of the vessel should occur once both conditions are met, contingent upon weather events at the port of origin, along the tow route and final destination.

3.1.8 OFFEROR PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF COMPLETED MANDATORY EX-ENTERPRISE

SHIP TOUR

Offerors shall provide documentation that a ship tour was successfully completed including date, personnel in attendance, and spaces visited.
