PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Water-Jetting and Abrasive Blasting for Non-skid Removal on Navy Substrates

1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES/INTRODUCTION:

Navy Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) requires water-jetting at high and ultra-high pressures and abrasive blasting for a project that is seeking to understand substrate material loss as a result of surface preparation on flight decks during nonskid removal. Work described is a collaborative effort with

NSWCCD representatives. NSWCCD will need to observe testing, record observations, and conduct and record measurements while work is being performed by the contractor at the contractor’s facility.

2.0 BACKGROUND:

The work described herein is in support of NSWCCD efforts to investigate material loss resulting from common preparation methods utilized on the waterfront. Two types of conditions will be present in the work being performed: (1) bare substrates to understand the risk of utilizing a single surface preparation method, and (2) substrates with applied nonskid (for water jetting) and substrates previously prepared by water‐jetting (for abrasive blasting) to replicate surface preparation conditions as experienced at the waterfront. The work will be scheduled in collaboration with NSWCCD and contractor performing work herein.

3.0 OBJECTIVE:

3.1 Details of specimens provided by NSWCCD and work to be performed by contractor

Contractor will prepare test substrates provided by NSWCCD in cycles (trips).

Cycles will be tentatively separated by approximately 2-4 weeks, depending on scheduling and availability.

Specimens will be sized 3” x 3” coupons, fixated onto 1’ x 1’ base plates for easy maneuverability and feasibility of testing.

4 coupons per 1’ x 1’ test plate.

Water-jetting to be performed may require a cleanliness of SSCP SP-2

Abrasive blasting to be performed may require a cleanliness of SSPC-SP 10.

3.2 Tasking from NSWCCD at contactor facility

NSWCCD will transport test substrates and work with Contractor on creating a suitable fixture to hold the 1’ x 1’ panels.

NSWCCD will be present during testing to observe and record pressures from water-jetting equipment and blasting equipment, blast media being used, and time required to prepare the surfaces.

NSWCCD will record mass loss and thickness data after water-jetting and abrasive blasting, and remove test substrates for the next portion of testing.

3.3 Water-jetting services

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the

Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent

Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) Basis for Award

The Government has determined that an award to the responsible Quoter that submits the Lowest-Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quote in response to this solicitation will represent the best value to the

Government. Quotes will be evaluated to determine the LPTA quote based on the following factors:

Factor 1 Price

Factor 2 Technical Capability/Approach

A quote must be rated "ACCEPTABLE" for each non-price factor to be eligible for award. An "UNACCEPTABLE" rating for any non-price factor will result in the entire quote being rated "UNACCEPTABLE" overall; an overall rating of "UNACCEPTABLE" makes a quote ineligible for award. A quote must contain sufficient information to enable evaluators to determine acceptability; if there is insufficient information to determine acceptability of the quote, the quote will be rated “UNACCEPTABLE” overall. Each of the evaluation factors will be rated as set forth below. Technical tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability.

The Government will evaluate the lowest priced quote for technical acceptability. If it is not acceptable, the

Government will evaluate the next lowest quote for technical acceptability, and so forth, to determine the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quote, at which point all evaluations will stop.

The Government reserves the right to request that the awardee reduce its total price, or adjust CLIN prices with no change to total price, in order to reduce administrative costs and avoid unnecessary burdens for the agency pursuant to FAR 13.002.

(b) Evaluation Factors

Factor 1: Price

Quotes must include a proposed price for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN). The Government will determine prices by adding the total proposed price for all CLINS, including all options. Quotes will be ranked from lowest- to highest-priced.

Factor 2: Technical Capability

The Government will evaluate the lowest priced Quoter for acceptability of Technical Capability. If the quote is not found to be acceptable, the Government will evaluate the next lowest quote for acceptability of technical capability, and so forth, to determine the lowest-priced quote that is acceptable for Technical Capability, at which point evaluators will evaluate the acceptability of that quoter’s Past Performance.

Technical Capability evaluations will result in one of the following ratings:

TABLE 1 - TECHNICAL RATINGS

Rating Description

Acceptable Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Minimum Requirements:

The following are the minimum requirements a quote must meet to be deemed acceptable for the Technical

Capability factor:

2) The quote must clearly demonstrate that the Vendor can meet all solicitation requirements in accordance with the Performance Work Statement, CLINs descriptions

0001-0002.

QUESTIONS: Any questions in relation to this solicitation shall be submitted to Kim Kanash by email at kimberly.kanash@navy.mil. The cut-off date for questions is 1100 ET on Thursday, 10 September 2020.

(c) Contract Award

The Government shall mail or email a written notice of award to the successful quoter. Upon receipt, the quoter shall either commence performance, or have an authorized representative sign the award and return it to the
