1. Non-Price Factor 1 – Technical Eligibility & Physical Resource Capacity: Offerors must provide the following to demonstrate eligibility for Award and ability to provide the physical resources necessary to successfully complete the solicited availability. (Narrative shall not exceed 10 pages):

a) Provide a completed Eligibility Criteria Data Sheet (Attachment S-5) that identifies the specific pier intended to be used for the proposed availability and indicates that the pier meets the minimum characteristics identified in Attachment S-5.

b) Provide a completed Execution Milestones & Key Event Dates (Attachment J-3) in Microsoft Excel format and a signed letter identifying and confirming ownership of a pier available to berth the vessel from the ‘Availability Start’ through ‘Contract Complete’ milestones as outlined in the Execution

Milestones & Key Event Dates (Attachment J-3). The representative who signs the letter must be authorized to contractually bind the company. If the Offeror is utilizing a subcontractor for physical resources (pier), a letter signed by the subcontractor identifying and confirming committed access to the proposed pier from the ‘Availability Start’ through ‘Contract Complete’ milestone as outlined in the Execution Milestones & Key Events (Attachment J-3) is required. The subcontractor representative who signs the letter must be authorized to contractually bind the company. The proposed pier, whether owned by the Offeror or subcontractor, must be accessible by the USS BOXER

(LHD 4) without any modification to the vessel.

c) Complete the Pier and Dry Dock Graphical Representation Template (Attachment S-8) to demonstrate the Offeror has the pier and dry dock available to complete the requirements of the proposed availability. Attachment S-8 must show:

a. The piers and dry docks expected to be in working capacity by month from proposal submission through the Contract Completion Date in Attachment J-3 and

b. The awarded and outstanding projects and work using those resources by month. The

Attachment S-8 must include:

(1) The piers and dry-docks required to complete work the Offeror currently has under contract based on current contract schedules.

(2) The piers and dry-docks required to complete all outstanding proposals, including this proposal, per proposed schedules.

(3) The piers and dry-docks required to complete any other anticipated requirements, including but not limited to Non-Navy work, pier and dry-dock upgrades, maintenance or dredging.

d) Provide a narrative not to exceed 10 pages to support the Attachment S-8 and address:

i. If the Offeror proposes a subcontracted pier or dry dock, explain the resource requirements that the prime contractor will provide and the pier and dry dock that the subcontractor will provide.

ii. The Offeror's plan to resolve pier and dry dock resource conflicts as a result of proposed and awarded projects. Piers and dry docks must not be committed to multiple ships during the same time period without explanation.

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. This manpower chart is not required if it produces the same chart required in Section L, paragraph V.B.2b)(1) above.

c) Manpower Narrative: Provide a narrative to characterize the workload information from the manpower charts required in Section L, paragraph V.B.2b)(1)-(2), by describing and quantifying the: historical yard-wide FTE levels, forecasted yard-wide FTE levels, and the composition of historical/forecasted

FTE values for: prime straight, prime overtime, subcontracted, and temporary labor. The narrative must explain how and when the Offeror plans to adjust or maintain the current workforce to achieve the proposed forecasted FTE levels and whether the adjustment occurs via additional hiring, use of subcontractors, use of temporary labor, or overtime. Provide supporting data and historical evidence to the maximum extent possible. The narrative should not exceed 20 pages. Address the following possibilities:

i. Any existing constraints between outstanding proposals that would prohibit the Offeror from executing one or more outstanding proposals.

ii. Should the Offeror propose to hire additional personnel for the solicited availability, the narrative must quantify the proposed number of hires and describe the plan to hire and manage the additional personnel from Time-now through Contract Completion Date.

iii. Should the Offeror propose overtime for the solicited availability, the narrative must include:

the historical overtime rate, the forecasted overtime rate, and the plan to manage and provide the overtime from Time-now through Contract Completion Date.

iv. Should the Offeror propose temporary labor for the solicited availability, the narrative must include: the historical temporary labor FTE, the forecasted temporary labor FTE, and the plan to manage and provide the temporary labor from Time-now through Contract Completion

Date.

v. Should the Offeror propose subcontracted resources for the solicited availability, the Offeror must explain which requirements the prime contractor will complete and which work the subcontractor will complete, including the work item, trade, and duration of each subcontracted requirement. The Government considers the use of subcontractors in excess of

45% of production labor to increase the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. The

Offeror must include in its narrative a plan to manage the subcontractor manning levels included from Time-now through Contract Completion Date.

vi. The Offeror must explain any atypical circumstances that caused or contributed to poor historical earned value performance. The Offeror must address how its proposed approach for the evaluated project reflects resiliency to atypical causes of risk (e.g. government furnished material delays or foreseeable trade labor demand).

Subfactor B- Small Business Participation: To assess the Offeror’s commitment to small business participation, the Government requires the Offeror to provide a completed Small Business Participation

Commitment Document (SBPCD), Attachment J-11. The Government will use the submitted SBPCD to evaluate the contractor’s commitment to small business participation for this subfactor. This evaluation is separate from the FAR requirement for the review and acceptance of an Offeror’s Small Business

Subcontracting Plan. All offerors (both other than small businesses and small businesses) will be evaluated on this subfactor. (Narrative shall not exceed 10 pages):

a) The Offeror shall provide a narrative that is sufficiently complete as to clearly describe the Offeror’s understanding of the Small Business requirements and its planned approach to meet its stated goals, such as the type of commitment (e.g. joint venture, teaming arrangement, subcontractor, etc.);

complexity and variety of the work small businesses are to perform; and participation of small businesses in terms of the total acquisition expressed both in dollars and percentage. The narrative shall not exceed 10 pages.

The small business participation percentage shall be calculated in terms of total contract value:

Participation percentage = Total Small Business Dollars*

Total Contract Value

* The Total Small Business Dollars is inclusive of the work to be performed directly by a Small

Business Prime Offeror.

b) The Government’s Small Business Participation Minimum Quantitative Requirement (MQR) for this contract is: 3%. The offeror is encouraged to propose a Small Business Participation objective percentage as high as is practicable, as long as the percentage is supported by the related SBPCD and the written narrative. The Offeror’s proposed Small Business Participation percentage for this contract shall be incorporated into the contract upon award via the SBCPD (Attachment J-11).

3. Non-Price Factor 3 –Schedule & Execution Approach: The Offeror shall provide an Open and Inspect

(O&I) Reports Plan and a High Level Schedule Substantiation. (Narrative shall not exceed 15 pages for

Emphasis Area A and 15 pages for Emphasis Area B):

a) Emphasis Area A - Open and Inspect (O&I) Reports Plan – Attachment J-10 may not include all

O&I reports required by Attachment J-1. Offerors are still required to plan for/schedule for the remaining reports within their proposals and schedules. Offerors shall provide a completed Attachment

J-10 (20% O&I Reports Due) and an O&I Reports Plan as follows:

(1) Attachment J-10 (20% O&I Reports Due):

i. Offerors shall enter a proposed milestone for 20% Open/Inspect (Early). The 20%

Open/Inspect (Early) milestone is the Offeror’s proposed milestone for submission of O&I

Reports prior to the 20% Milestone. The proposed date shall be entered into both Attachment

J-3 and an “X” in the appropriate column in the J-10.

ii. Offerors shall enter a proposed milestone for 20% Open/Inspect (Exception). The 20%

Open/Inspect (Exception) milestone is the Offeror’s proposed milestone for submission of

O&I Reports after the 20% Milestone. The proposed date shall be entered into both

Attachment J-3 and J-10. An “X” shall be entered in the appropriate column in the J-10..

iii. Offerors shall enter a proposed milestone for 20% Open/Inspect (All). The 20% Open/Insect

(All) milestone is set forth on Attachment J-3. For any milestone that is not Early or

Exception related, the auto-calculated date shall be entered into Attachment J-10. An “X” shall be entered in the appropriate column in the J-10.

(2) O&I Reports Plan:

The Offeror’s O&I Reports Plan shall:

i. Explain the rationale supporting the selection of the date for the 20% Open/Inspect (Early) milestone.

ii. Explain the overall logic and rationale supporting the Offeror’s selection of O&I Reports work items for the 20% Open/Inspect (Early) milestone. The explanation shall:

(1) Substantiate the Offeror’s ability to provide the O&I Reports by the 20%

Open/Inspect (Early) milestone.

(2) Substantiate how the Offeror’s sequencing and prioritization improves the

Offeror’s ability to provide on-time delivery of the availability.

(3) Explain the rationale supporting the selection of the date for the 20%

Open/Inspect (Exception) milestone, demonstrating that the date is feasible and supports on-time delivery of the Availability.

iii. Explain the overall logic and rationale supporting the Offeror’s selection of O&I Reports for the 20% Open/Inspect (Exception) milestone. For each exception the Offeror shall:

(1) Explain why the Offeror requires an exception to provide the O&I Reports by the

20% Open/Inspect (Exception) milestone (examples for the rationale include, but are not limited to, sequencing conflicts, stability concerns, and work integration.)

(2) Identify and explain the risks to an on-time delivery of the availability created by the delayed provision of the Reports.

(3) Identify and substantiate the reasonableness of the Offeror’s risk mitigations to ensure the delay does not undermine the Offeror’s ability to provide on-time delivery of the availability.

iv. No additional justification is required for on time reports.

b) Emphasis Area B - High Level Schedule Substantiation: Provide a narrative explanation of the

Offeror’s plan to complete the Availability’s major phases, seen as the work completed between the following key events / milestones :

Avail Start to PCD

(1) The Offeror shall accomplish the following for each phase:
