L-7 Pre-Award Survey of Vessel

As part of a technical pre-award survey the Government reserves the right to inspect the offeror’s proposed vessel and associated equipment prior to award, which may include a two-hour speed trial to evaluate proposed speed and fuel consumption figures. Such acceptability inspection shall not be conducted for the purpose of determining whether an offeror’s proposal is superior to another, but only to determine that the offered vessel, as set forth in the proposal, meets the acceptability standards in the solicitation. If, upon inspection of the vessel, the Government determines that the offered vessel does not meet the acceptability standards, the offer may be rejected.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

SECTION M

M-2.3.2 Evaluated Price.

(a) The total evaluated price will equal the sum of the total dollar amounts offered for program management support of ramp-up period, vessel modifications, charter hire and fuel for the firm and option time periods, redelivery bonus (if offered), and any other costs (excluding ROS rates and cancellation fees) set forth in the offer. For evaluation purposes, the redelivery bonus and any additional costs (excluding ROS rates and cancellation fees) not already incorporated in the program management support of the ramp-up period, vessel modifications, or charter hire will be incorporated as part of the time charter firm period price. The total Program Management Support of Ramp-Up Period will equal the offered daily rate multiplied by the expected number of days in the ramp-up period portion of the firm period (216). The total Charter Hire will equal the offered daily rate multiplied by the expected number of days in the period (149 in the charter portion of the firm period, 365 in option periods 1, 3 and 4, and 366 in option period 2). The proposed price must be determined to be fair and reasonable prior to award.

(b) For evaluation purposes, fuel cost will be based upon the fuel consumption figures provided in each proposal, calculated according to the operational tempo of the mission. Fuel consumption will be calculated using the operational tempo in the table below. Evaluated fuel consumption will be added to the evaluated price for each contract period.

Operational Tempo

Underway 23% Loiter/Anchor 72% In Port 5%

(c) Fuel consumption costs will be calculated using the most current Defense Logistics Agency-

Energy (DLA-E) standard prices and fuel conversion factors. The following DLA-E FY 2013 rates, effective 01 October 2012, will be used:

Type Price

(d) The above fuels are the only available fuels at DESC/Defense Fuel Stocking Points (DFSPs).

Only the above fuels will be used for evaluation purposes. Offerors shall propose fuels from the above list (whichever types are appropriate for their vessel). The fuel consumption rates proposed shall be for the pre-modified vessel. When multiple fuels are proposed, the fuel with the lowest per unit cost will be used for evaluation purposes.
