INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This solicitation is a Request for Proposals (RFP) that will result in the award of a single Fixed-Price contract for the FY18 Extended Dry-Docking Selected Restricted Availability (EDSRA) for USS COLE (DDG 67). The Government anticipates awarding a single contract through a best value source selection process. The Government expects the best value to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price and will thus use the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures in accordance with FAR 15.101-2

ALL INQUIRIES shall be made in writing and directed to Sheila Utz, Contracting Officer, and Justin Lessel, Contract Specialist, at sheila.utz1@navy.mil and justin.d.lessel@navy.mil.

Factor 1 – Eligibility Factor: Offerors must provide the following to demonstrate eligibility:

· Eligibility Criteria Data Sheet (Attachment S-5) with the top portion filled out

· A letter signed by the Principal identifying and confirming ownership or committed access (in the form of a letter signed by the subcontractor identifying and confirming committed access) to a pier capable of berthing the DDG-67 and a dry-dock capable of docking the DDG-67 at time of contract award. Evidence must be provided to prove the dry-dock will remain certified throughout the entire proposed use of the dry-dock in performance of this contract.

MSRA Equivalency (Applicable to Non-MSRA holders only): Offerors that do not hold an MSRA must submit MSRA equivalency documentation to demonstrate sufficient organization and facilities capabilities. (Specific documentation requirements provided upon inspection request).

To be eligible for award, a prospective contractor must possess a MSRA as described in DFARS 217.71 Master Agreement for Repair and Alteration of Vessels (MARAV) or demonstrate organization and facilities equivalent to that reflected in a MSRA. Offerors meeting this eligibility requirement with documents and evidence outside of a MSRA must contact the PCO to schedule an on-site inspection. All requests for MSRA equivalency inspections must be received by 1300, local time, Washington DC on 16 October 2017. Requests shall be sent to Sheila Utz and Justin Lessel at sheila.utz1@navy.mil & justin.d.lessel@navy.mil. Failure to request an inspection by the designated time may result in a negative determination of offeror eligibility. All inspections will be completed by a representative from Commander, Navy Regional Maintenance Center (CNRMC). All offerors requesting equivalency inspections will receive a copy of the final inspection report prior to the date of contract award. The on-site inspection will supplement documentation provided with the offeror’s proposal.

The Government reserves the right to conduct a pre-award survey or to require other evidence of technical, production, managerial, financial, and similar abilities to perform prior to the award of any proposed contracts; regardless of whether the offeror has an existing MSRA. There is no page limit associated with this documentation.

Factor 2 - Technical Capabilities: Offerors shall complete the Technical Capabilities Data Sheet (Attachment S-1), provided with this solicitation for a previous availability or equivalent project performed by the offeror. Offerors may not exceed a total of five (5) pages between the data sheet and the narrative.

The Contractor shall provide this documentation for contracts/projects demonstrating relevant experience as a Prime contractor. The Government is looking for experience in executing projects of same or similar type and complexity of work as required by this solicitation. For purposes of this solicitation, the Government considers an offeror’s Technical Capability relating to the following types of projects/contracts to be relevant:

a. Performance as a prime contractor of a ship repair availability similar in complexity and magnitude as the proposed USS COLE (DDG 67) availability, including approximately six (6) months production duration and 75,000 man-days in magnitude, using the same or similar personnel, processes and equipment the offeror is proposing to use to meet the solicitation requirements, to be relevant.

OR

b. Performance as a prime contractor of the construction of a ship of similar size and complexity and composition as a DDG 51 class ship or a comparable naval vessel of similar type and complexity using the same or similar personnel, processes, and equipment the offeror is proposing to use to meet the solicitation requirements.

The project shall have been completed or be substantially complete within the past three (3) years. The project provided must be considered relevant based on its own features rather than demonstrating relevant experience as a combination of projects. Offerors are advised that the Technical Capability Factor is "prime contractor" specific. Newly formed joint ventures may propose projects by the separate members of the joint venture as prime contractors. An offeror may not use the Technical Capabilities of an affiliated "prime contractor" to meet the Technical Capability Factor requirements.

Factor 3 – Past Performance: The Government requires relevant performance information on all Offerors based on the past and present efforts provided by the Offeror and data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s past performance as a prime contractor. In the investigation of an Offeror’s past performance, the Government reserves the right to contact former customers and Government agencies and other private and public sources of information.

Offerors with recent and relevant past performance shall submit information concerning contracts which offerors consider relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort. Offerors shall identify portions of the contracts that are relevant. Offerors are requested to provide information up to five (5) previous contracts where the effort is recent and relevant to the effort required by this solicitation.

· “Recent” is defined as a contract in-progress or completed within the last three (3) years as of the date of the initial solicitation. If the offeror has not completed up to five (5) contracts within the last three (3) years as of the date of the initial solicitation, information on recent and relevant subcontracts and/or commercial contracts may be submitted.

· “Relevant” is defined as a contract that is of similar scope, magnitude, and complexity to the requirements as set forth in this solicitation.

· Scope: Experience in the areas defined in the Solicitation Section C Statement of Work.

· Magnitude: The measure of the similarity of the volume, dollar value and/or duration of the work actually performed under the offeror’s submitted contracts to the requirements of this solicitation.

· Complexity: The measure of the similarity of technical difficulty, managerial intricacy and/or required coordination of efforts and disciplines performed by the offeror in its submitted contracts to the requirements of this solicitation. For complexity, not only will the tasks performed by the offeror be considered, but also the offeror’s ability to coordinate tasks (e.g., concurrent performance requirements).

Offerors shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the similarity of the contracts to the requirements of this solicitation; a detailed description of the work performed for the contract. Offerors are responsible for the accuracy of all data provided.

An offeror that does not have recent and relevant past performance to provide for consideration is requested to affirmatively state that it does not have recent and relevant past performance for the Government to consider.

The Offeror’s proposal shall identify the customer point of contact and which of the listed contacts that each questionnaire was sent to be completed. This will let the Contracting Officer know whether all questionnaires from all of the Offeror’s references were received.

Regarding Past performance information that is documented as a Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) and available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), the offeror may list it in Past Performance References, Attachment S-4. Attachment S-4 shall be used to identify the source of Past Performance information ( e.g., CPARs, PPQs). For Past Performance information that does not have a current CPAR associated with it, the offeror may submit a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), Attachment S-2 to its customer to complete. Each proposal shall include no more than a total of five (5) PPQs, one per contract identified. The offeror will complete Part A of the Questionnaire. Separately, the offeror shall provide the entire Past Performance Questionnaire, with Part A completed, to each customer for them to complete Parts B and C. Customer evaluation will not be included as part of the page count in this volume submitted by the offeror. The offeror shall instruct their customers to complete the Past Performance Questionnaires and return them before the closing date of this solicitation.

E-mail to:

Sheila Utz, Contracting Officer, sheila.utz1@navy.mil and

Justin Lessel, Contract Specialist, justin.d.lessel@navy.mil

Any questionnaire received after the proposal due date/time may be considered as late and may not be considered in the Offeror’s past performance evaluation. The Government, at its discretion, will determine whether or not questionnaires received after the proposal due date will be considered.

In addition, the offeror shall provide for all Past Performance References included in Attachment S-4, a short description of the work performed and why the offeror considers it relevant to the requirements of this solicitation. Government may validate past performance information with the source regardless of whether it is provided under a CPAR reference or a PPQ.

All offerors (including small business offerors) are requested to address historical compliance with the requirements of FAR Part 52.219-8 (Utilization of Small Business Concerns) in a separate narrative not to exceed one page. In addition, large businesses are requested to address historical compliance with the requirements of FAR Part 52.219-9 (Small Business Subcontracting Plan) and DFARS 252.219-7003 (Small Business Subcontracting Plan (DOD CONTRACTS)) in a separate narrative not to exceed one page.

The offeror shall provide the reports in the electronic formats required by FY18 (CH-1) 009-60 and in paper (hard copy) format. The hard copy of the Gantt charts shall be provided on 11 x 17 inch paper. There is no page limit associated with this documentation. Offerors shall integrate all work included in the Work Package. However, for the purposes of proposal submission only, reports do not require incorporation of Alteration Installation Team (AIT) schedules, Government-Contracted Third Party Maintenance Provider schedules, Ship's Force schedules, Commercial Industrial Services (CIS) schedules, Fleet Maintenance Activity (FMA) schedules and Navy Intermediate-Level schedules.

Manpower Curves (Total) and Manpower Curves (Trade) – In addition to the requirements of 009-60, the offerors shall provide Total and Trade Manpower Curves including the following information:

· The total and trade manpower resources currently employed by the offeror and expected to be employed by the offeror during the Availability period of performance.

· The total and trade manpower resources required to complete work the Offeror currently has under contract during the Availability period of performance.

· The total and trade manpower resources required to complete work the Offeror may complete, including the resources to complete ALL outstanding proposals and the resources required to complete any other expected requirements during the Availability period of performance.

Offerors shall provide a narrative affirming that the offeror has the manpower resources, by craft/trade/supervisor/support, available to complete the requirements of the availability, accounting for manpower resource required to complete work the Offeror currently has under contract and manpower resources required to complete outstanding proposals and any other expected requirements during the Availability period.
