SECTION SF 30 BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION B - SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES

The following have been modified:

NOTE A: LEVEL OF EFFORT TO COMPLETION –SHIP REPAIR

1. The Contractor agrees to provide the level of effort to completion (LOE to Completion) in the performance of growth CLINs in the execution of the USS BATAAN DSRA:

a. 328,437 direct labor hours (labor hours) and $10,742,955 ($TBD fully burdened) materials to complete expected, within scope growth work on the USS BATAAN DSRA work package under

CLINS 0065 – 0099, 0101 – 0139.

2. The total LOE to Completion for the performance of the above growth CLINs shall be comprised of labor hours and the associated material required to support the expected, within scope growth. The mix of labor hours and material may be adjusted. Adjustments to the labor hour and material mix will be documented via weekly

Technical Direction Letter (TDL) and subsequently unilaterally adjusted via contract modification. The

Government reserves the right to reconcile the weekly TDLs via unilateral modification at the Administrative

Contracting Officer’s (ACO) discretion.

3. LOE to Completion obligations specified above shall only include effort performed in direct support of this contract and shall not include time and effort expended on such things as local travel to and from an employee's usual work location, uncompensated effort while on travel status, truncated lunch periods, work (actual or inferred) at an employee's residence or other non-work locations.

4. LOE to Completion labor hours and material are within the scope and pricing of this contract and are not subject to an equitable adjustment under FAR 52.243-1 ‘Changes – Fixed Price’. The utilization of LOE to

Completion is at the discretion of the Contracting Officer and subject to the schedule phasing identified in Note

F.

5. If, in the opinion of the Contractor, any effort directed in the Growth Management Request Form (GMR) calls for effort outside the scope of the contract, the Contractor shall notify the Administrative Contracting Officer

(ACO) in writing within two (2) working days after the receipt of any such direction. In the event of a cost dispute, the ACO may unilaterally authorize hours and material against LOE work. The Contractor shall not proceed with the work directed by the GMR unless and until the Contractor is notified by the ACO to proceed with the directed work. The Contractor is required to proceed with the directed work as directed by the ACO.

Thereafter, any remaining disagreement shall be addressed in accordance with FAR 52.233-1(Alt. 1) ‘Disputes.’

Additionally, if the cost of performing the disputed direction exceeds $100,000, the Contractor is required to comply with FAR 52.243-6 ‘Change Order Accounting.’

6. The labor hours and material requirements listed in Section B, Note A, paragraph 1 above are part of this contract. Prime contractor efforts shall be deducted from the labor hours allocated. Subcontractor efforts and materials shall be deducted from the materials allocated. The balance of labor hours and materials remaining in the LOE to Completion CLINs will be recouped by the Government via final contract modification at the end of the availability.

7. Only authorized direct production labor hours shall be deducted from the LOE to Completion direct labor hour ceiling set forth in Section B, Note A, paragraph 1 above. Per Note B paragraph 2 below, all non-production labor shall be included in the Contractor’s fully burdened labor rate. Non-production hours shall not be included in pricing submitted in support of growth issued under the LOE to Completion CLINs. Additionally, Contractor

LOE to Completion pricing shall not include any allowance for technical representatives or for any other

Government directed source unless specifically directed by the Contracting Officer.

8. Only authorized material dollars shall be deducted from LOE to Completion material reservation set forth in

Section B, Note A, paragraph 1 above. This material reservation consists of the total cost of materials and subcontractor efforts proposed. All subcontractor quotes shall be included in the Change Order Price Analysis

(COPA) as per Section C, paragraph 1.14. Material dollars may include freight or duties if specifically itemized on the invoice for the material. The Contractor shall not be allowed to add material handling charges, overhead

(including G&A), or profit into the settled cost of materials deducted from the material reservation.

9. The information received in the consolidated final report required by Section C paragraph 6.6 will be used by the ACO in the issuance of one contract modification based on the information received in the final report identified in Section C below, which will be a final settlement for all LOE to Completion labor hours and material dollars. Once the number of labor hours and materials for directed work has been settled, neither party shall be entitled to an adjustment because the expended labor hours and materials differ from the settled price.

This shall not preclude an adjustment otherwise permitted by law and regulation; e.g. fraud, product substitution, defective workmanship or materials. Each directed work shall receive approval by the

SUPERVISOR and the ACO. “SUPERVISOR” as defined in NAVSEA Standard Item (NSI) 009-01, paragraph

4.3, refers to the local Government activity responsible for the execution and contract administration of Navy maintenance and modernization work.

NOTE E: SPECIAL AGREEMENT FOR GROWTH WITH A PRICE OF $15,000 OR LESS

1. To make administration of small dollar value growth more efficient and less costly, both parties (Government and Contractor) agree to a pre-priced value for individual growth items with an estimated price of $15,000 or less. The Contract will include a firm fixed price for growth valued at $15,000 or less. Zero-dollar changes and administrative contract changes (for example, drawing revision change where no additional work is required) shall not be executed using the Small Dollar Value Growth procedures, but will follow the change process.

2. The amount included in this Contract for the growth described above shall be equal to a maximum quantity of:

a. 1,146 occurrences for growth work computed at a firm fixed price of $6,264 per occurrence, as associated with CLINS 0065 – 0139 for the USS BATAAN (LHD 5) FY24 DSRA.

3. A Waterfront Circuit Team comprised of a small group of Contractor and Government representatives shall administer the Special Agreement for Growth with a value of $15,000 or less. The Contractor shall establish a group of empowered representatives who will be located in proximity to the ship during the availability period and who will interact with a similar group of Government representatives (also to be located in close proximity to the ship and to be identified by the NSA). Specific arrangements for the Waterfront Circuit Team shall be mutually agreed between the Contractor and NSA.

4. The Contractor shall report proposed growth work through the normal CFR process in accordance with Contract terms. The Government may also independently identify growth work. No later than 24 hours after the final approval of the CFR, the Waterfront Circuit Team shall use best efforts to determine if the proposed growth is

$15,000 or less, and document the agreed to technical scope of work. The Contracting Officer or authorizing official shall direct the commencement of all growth work. Directed growth will be followed by documentation to appropriately reflect specification changes.

5. If the Waterfront Circuit Team is not able to reach agreement that the price of the growth work is $15,000, or less, then it will be adjudicated through the LOE to Completion process identified in Section B, Note A.

However, if LOE to Completion negotiations reveal the value of growth work is $15,000, or less, the task will be settled in accordance with the Small Dollar Value Growth procedure at the pre-priced value per occurrence identified in Section B, Note E, Paragraph 2, above.

6. If the Contractor and Government (Contracting Officer) reach settlement in three (3) business days an incentive of $1,236 will be applied to the standard price per change of $6,264. The result in these instances would be a

SDVG price per change of $7,500.

7. The Contractor and Government (Contracting Officer) shall develop a growth tracker to identify and record the number of directed occurrences under this Note. All growth meeting the criteria of paragraph 1 above shall be accepted under this clause without delay and disruption in ship redelivery.

8. When the quantity of occurrences for Small Dollar Growth is depleted, the Small Dollar Growth process shall revert to the LOE to Completion process for remaining growth.

9. Small Dollar Value Growth Incentive Implementation

A. Purpose

To expedite the execution of contract changes on the USS BATAAN (LHD 5) FY24 DSRA, the Government will incentivize the timely settlement of Small Dollar Value Growth (SDVG) occurrences. If the Contractor provides written confirmation in response to the Government issued SDVG Growth Management form within three (3) business days, the Contractor will earn an incentive fee credit of $1,236. The total incentive fee earned during an incentive period will equal the number of incentive fee credits obtained multiplied by $1,236.

B. Available Incentive Amount

The total maximum incentive available pursuant to this Note is $1,236 per Small Dollar Value Growth occurrence and $1,416,456 across 1,146 approved occurrences.

Within 30 days after the end of the contract period of performance, the Contractor and Contracting Officer, utilizing the growth work tracker, shall determine the number of pre-priced occurrences not directed under this contract.

Accordingly, the Contracting Officer will decrease the contract price by an amount calculated by multiplying the remaining number of occurrences by the pre-established firm fixed price per occurrence.

Contracting Officer. Additionally, the data package shall include:

(1) A computational spreadsheet (cost model) in Microsoft Excel-compatible format containing any cost calculations (i.e. formulas) associated with the proposed costs. The spreadsheet must segregate the proposed direct labor hours, direct labor costs, direct material costs, other direct costs, subcontract costs, profit and any indirect costs (e.g., overhead, fringe benefits, G&A, and

FCCOM, including visibility into the specific pricing rates applied and the methodology by which rates are applied to applicable cost bases), as applicable, by calendar year, work item and

CLIN, or as specified by the Contracting Officer. The elements of cost in the spreadsheet must be traceable to the supporting rationale provided in the Basis of Estimate (BOE) information.

(2) A completed Proposal Adequacy Checklist, pursuant to DFARS 252.215-7009, Proposal

Adequacy Checklist.

(6) Certified cost or pricing data for subcontracts that are the lower of either (i) $15M or more; or

(ii) both more than the pertinent certified cost or pricing data threshold and more than 10 percent of the prime contractor’s proposed price (as per FAR 15.404-3 Subcontract Pricing

Considerations).

All elements of the electronic package and computational spreadsheet shall be capable of being searched, reproduced, manipulated and cross-referenced to the supporting cost or pricing data (i.e.

Excel file with formulas vice hard entry/PDF). Each Basis of Estimate (BOE) in prime and subcontractor proposals must address four critical questions:

What is the estimate?

What is the estimate based on?

How was the estimate derived?

Why is the estimate reasonable?

In accordance with FAR 15.406-2, Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data, when certified cost or pricing data are required, a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data will be required immediately after agreement on cost/price is reached.

All data provided by the Offeror will be safeguarded and protected in accordance with FAR 3.104-4, Disclosure, protection, and marking of contractor bid or proposal information and source selection information, FAR 15.207, Handling proposals and information, and the Procurement Integrity Act, 41

iii. If the Offeror proposes an interval of less than seven days between the unberthing or undocking date of another requirement and the proposed berthing or docking date of this availability or a proposed docking date within the first seven days of this availability, then detail the necessary steps to accomplish this effort.

2. Non-Price Factor 2 – Manpower and Small Business Participation:

Subfactor A- Manpower: To assess the Offeror’s ability to provide efficient manpower to successfully complete the solicited availability, the Government requires the Offeror to provide specified workload data that contains historical workload performance and forecasted workload estimates. (Narrative shall not exceed 20 pages):

a) Manpower Performance Data Sheet (Attachment S-4): Provide a completed Manpower Performance

Data Sheet, (Attachment S-4) in Microsoft Excel in the format provided in this solicitation. Include all projects, defined as Navy or Non-Navy Ship Repair and New Construction Projects, for which the

Offeror is the prime or a major subcontractor (performing 30% or more of a CNO availability or comparable portion of a Non-Navy project) which were active (on-going or completed) or planned

(awarded or proposed) (including the proposal for this solicitation) during the first month identified in

Attachment S-4 and the Contract Complete Date of this solicitation. All projects, which are yet to complete (on-going or planned), require monthly data throughout the full duration. In the case that an on-going project began prior to the date range provided within the S-4, this will require the Offeror to modify the S-4 so that the provided data captures the project’s full duration. The Attachment S-4 must capture all work performed by the Offeror within the shipyard and at the local Naval Station, if the

Offeror’s shipyard is within the homeport fleet concentration area. The Offeror may estimate performance information for subcontractors based on prime contractor budgets and the prime contractor’s actual outlays to subcontractors. Enter remaining growth work options in the distinguished column/row, using the phasing assumptions provided in Section B Note F.

The “Definitions” tab within Attachment S-4 defines the following terms: Contract / Actual / Forecast

Start and Completion Date, Project Status, Time-now, Cumulative Earned Value, Time-phased Earned

Value, Full Time Equivalents (FTE), Budget at Complete (BAC), Estimate at Complete (EAC), Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS), Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP), Budget to

Complete (BTC), Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP), Estimate to Complete (ETC), Cost

Performance Index (CPI), To-Complete Cost Performance Index (TCPI), Schedule Performance Index

(SPI), Remaining Growth Options, New Work, Prime Contractor Labor, Overtime Labor, Subcontractor Labor, and Temporary Labor.

i. For each project, provide the Earned Value (hours) data on a time phased, month-by-month basis (month-ending) over each project’s duration, from the Actual / Forecast Start Dates to the Actual / Forecast Completion Dates.

ii. For each project, verify the cumulative hour values calculated within the S-4 in the

“Cumulative EV” tab align with internal earned value information. If the cumulative calculation does not align with the internal earned value information, then enter the value manually and “Insert Comment” to the manually adjusted cell that describes the discrepancy.

Provide the additional project related information requested in the “Cumulative EV” tab (all cells that are green).

iii. Provide a list of holiday dates in the “Holiday Calendar” tab. If the monthly reporting dates associated with the monthly earned value data are not aligned to the calendar month, then provide the appropriate values for the “Month Start” and “Month End” in the “Monthly EV” tab (rows 3 and 4). This date information is necessary to convert the monthly hours data into monthly FTE as described in Attachment S-4.

b) Manpower Charts: Provide manpower charts reflecting the data in Attachment S-4. The manpower charts must represent each project’s ACWP and ETC within the Actual / Forecast Start Date and

Actual / Forecast Completion Date for each project provided in Attachment S-4. The manpower charts must show separate stacked areas for each project in the chart. The manpower charts must meet all format requirements stated in “Manpower Charts Format” tab within Attachment S-4. The “Manpower

Charts Format” tab within Attachment S-4 includes an example manpower chart formatted to requirements. Provide the following manpower charts:

(1) Manpower chart showing the total FTE resources required for all projects completed, on-going, awarded, the solicited availability and the Offeror’s remaining outstanding proposals, as provided in Attachment S-4.

(2) Manpower chart showing the total FTE resources required for all projects completed, on-going, awarded, the solicited availability and the Offeror’s executable award scenario from the

Offeror’s remaining outstanding proposals accounting for all un-mitigatable resource conflicts, as provided in Attachment S-4.
