FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE (No Page Limit)

Past performance information shall be provided for the Prime and all subcontractors in order to develop an Offeror's past performance rating.

Past performance information is one indicator of an Offeror’s (to include prime and subcontractors) ability to perform the contract successfully. In the evaluation of an Offeror’s past performance, the Government reserves the right to use relevant performance within the past five years. Relevant and timely past performance information in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), and the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) (http://www.ppirs.gov/) including the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) will be considered during the evaluation of an Offeror’s past performance.

Using the Past Performance Matrix (as listed in Section J), the Offeror and all subcontractors shall provide a separate list of relevant contracts that were performed within the last five years. Contracts that are listed in PPIRS are preferred. The list for the Prime shall contain no more than seven relevant contracts. In addition, each subcontractor shall complete a separate matrix and provide no more than seven relevant contracts. The identified relevant contracts shall focus on performance that is relevant to the current solicitation requirement (i.e., Repair and Maintenance of Fire Control Equipment and Installation of Fire Control Equipment) cited in the Scope of this solicitation. Relevancy includes similarity of item, complexity and dollar value. With respect to relevancy, more relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance. If the Offeror has no relevant past performance within the last five years or cannot provide a list of relevant contracts, then the Offeror must provide an explanation.

Past Performance Questionnaires (as listed in Section J) only apply to relevant contracts for which performance information is not available through PPIRS. The Offeror and subcontractors shall submit the Past Performance Questionnaire to all of their references listed on the Past Performance Matrix that have NO PPIRS contracts, and shall request the references to complete the Past Performance Questionnaire and return it directly to:

NSWC IHEODTD –

Surveys may also be emailed to devon.renner@navy.mil which is the preferred method of delivery. All questionnaires must be received by the closing date and time of the solicitation.

FACTOR 3: COST (No Page Limit)

There is no limitation on number of pages, page format, or print size for the cost proposal.

The Offeror shall prepare the cost proposal in accordance with the following organization, content and format requirements to assist the Government in making a complete and thorough evaluation. An original and one copy of each prime and subcontractor, if applicable, cost proposal shall be submitted to the Procuring Contracting Officer for evaluation. Only one copy of Microsoft Excel 2010 or earlier, CD(s) with the contractor's and subcontractor's cost proposal need be submitted.

http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/opdprmt2.htm

All Offerors are to submit their cost proposal in accordance with the following instructions and sample/example format contained in Section J. All cost proposals are to be prepared using Microsoft Excel (Office 2010 preferably--any later version of Microsoft Excel is NOT ACCEPTABLE).

THE PRIME CONTRACTOR SHALL SUBMIT IT’S PROPOSAL ON WHITE BOND PAPER ONLY along with the CD(s) (appropriately labeled as to content) as needed for the entire cost proposal (prime and subcontractor(s), if applicable).

The Cost Proposal submitted by an Other Than Small Business Concern shall demonstrate that at least 5% of the overall total dollar amount of the cost proposal will represent subcontract awards to Small Business Concerns. The Offeror shall clearly identify in its “Cost Summary Format” the proposed subcontractors it will use to fulfill the small business subcontracting plan requirement of 5%.

Each spreadsheet is to have the following information:

Company Name City, State, Zip Solicitation Number Work Site (Location) Element/Category

Direct Labor - Each spreadsheet is to list by title, the labor categories that the Offeror intends to use for performance of the contract and number of labor hours proposed. Offerors shall use their labor category nomenclature for each category title and shall use the labor hours per category per year as set forth in this section under the heading "For Proposal Presentation Purposes Only". A formula shall be written that multiplies proposed labor hours by proposed labor rates, with the resultant amount indicated in the amount column. The appropriate total number of hours is provided under the heading "For Proposal Preparation Purposes Only". The sample provided lists all labor categories identified for performance of this contract. If additional lines are required, the Offeror is to adjust the sample spreadsheet accordingly. However, the Offeror is cautioned and reminded that any adjustments to an individual spreadsheet cost proposal, (i.e., addition/deletion of lines) needs to be reflected on all spreadsheets, as all spreadsheets shall be linked. A suggestion would be for the Offeror to develop a generic cost proposal spreadsheet that reflects ALL of the intended labor categories.

Composite rates are required for any labor category under each type of services category in which more than one individual is proposed. These composite rates should properly weight individual labor rates (included in the composite) based on calculated percentages of the effort to total effort. The proposal shall clearly demonstrate the individual elements from which the composite rate is developed. Prime contractors and subcontractors can have their own composite rates.

The Offeror should also identify all labor categories subject to the Service Contract Act and identify what category on the Wage Determination applies to the contractor’s employees. The direct labor rate (unburdened) paid to each non-exempt employee should be listed next to the contractor’s labor category.

The cost proposal spreadsheets shall use the Offeror's labor category nomenclature.

Subtotal Direct Labor- A formula that adds all direct labor amounts shall be written with the resultant calculation indicated.

Labor Overhead - The Offeror is to indicate the base amount that is used to apply the labor overhead rate. If more than one labor overhead rate is proposed, or if Offeror has other indirect labor rate(s), i.e., separate fringe benefits rate(s), Offeror is to so indicate in the cost proposal spreadsheet, along with the base amount. A formula shall be written that multiplies the base amount(s) by the proposed labor overhead rate(s) and shall indicate the result in the amount column.

Subtotal Labor Overhead - A formula that adds all labor overhead amounts shall be written with the resultant calculation indicated.

Total - A formula shall be written that adds the subtotal amounts for direct and labor overhead with the resultant calculation indicated.

Total labor hours - A formula shall be written that adds all proposed direct labor hours proposed for performance of this contract.

Other Direct Costs - The Offeror is to include the following:

• Travel Costs. The Offeror is to use the estimated provided by the Government for this category. Fee is prohibited for Travel Costs.

• Material Costs. The Offeror is to use the estimates provided by the Government for this category. Fee is allowable for Material Costs.

• Supplies Costs. The Offeror is to use the estimates provided by the Government for this category. Fee is prohibited for Supplies Costs.

Material handling (or other overhead, if applicable) - The Offeror is to indicate the base amount that is used for this indirect rate, if applicable. If more than one indirect rate is proposed, the Offeror is to indicate this in the cost proposal spreadsheet, along with the base amount. A formula shall be written that multiplies the base amount(s) by the proposed indirect rate(s) and shall indicate the result in the amount column.

Grand Sub total - A formula shall be written that adds the totaled amount for labor and overhead to totaled amount for Other Direct Costs and material handling, or other indirect rate, if applicable and the result shall be indicated in the amount column.

G&A - The Offeror is to indicate the base amount that is used to apply the general and administrative (G&A) rate. If more than one G&A rate is proposed, or if the Offeror has other indirect rate(s), the Offeror is to so indicate in the cost proposal spreadsheet, along with the base amount to which any G&A rate is applied. A formula shall be written that multiplies the base amount(s) by the proposed G&A rate(s) with the resultant amount indicated in the amount column. In the narrative portion of Offeror’s cost proposal, Offeror is to state the base(s) for application of G&A(s) rate(s).

Subtotal - A formula shall be written that adds the amounts for G&A. If Offeror has only one G&A, then the formula written shall so reflect. If Offeror has more than one G&A amount, then the formula shall add the G&A amounts and that amount shall be displayed.

NOTIFICATION TO OFFERORS REGARDING SUBCONTRACTOR FEE:

Offerors are hereby notified that all fees to be paid under this contract will be paid to the prime contractor for disbursement to their subcontractor. No subcontractor proposal shall contain an amount for fee. The prime contractor shall arrange the manner in which the company will distribute fee to each subcontractor.

The Government will not be involved in the distribution of fee to subcontractors.

Offeror is to copy all formulas used in the preparation of its cost proposal into columns that the Offeror shall label "DCAA" and "Government Cost Realism". The Government will use these columns to analyze the Offeror's proposal in conjunction with information received through DCAA. By having the contractor provide the methodology by which it developed its proposal, the Government will ensure that it analyzes and calculates these costs in the same manner that the Offeror has prepared its proposal.

DO NOT LOCK ANY CELLS. LOCKED CELLS WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO

EVALUATE YOUR COST PROPOSAL.

REALISM OF COST PROPOSALS

An Offeror's proposal is assumed to represent its best efforts to respond to the solicitation. Any inconsistency whether real or apparent, between promised performance and cost should be explained in the proposal. For example, if the intended use of new and innovative techniques is the basis for an abnormally low estimate, the nature of these techniques and their impact on cost shall be explained. Additionally, if a corporate policy has been made to absorb a portion of the estimated cost, it shall be stated in the proposal. Any required explanation shall be included as an attachment to the cost proposal, and cross referenced to the specific section of the cost proposal that it refers to. Any significant inconsistency if unexplained, raises a fundamental issue of the Offeror's understanding of the nature and scope of the work required and of his financial ability to perform the contract, and may be grounds for rejection of the proposal. The burden of proof as to cost credibility rests with the Offeror. Offerors who do not have current DCAA approved rates or provisional billing agreements shall provide documentation such as payroll data, invoices, letters of intent and salary information with their cost proposal which will assist the Contract Specialist with analyzing their cost proposal for cost realism. Offerors shall require their subcontractor(s) to provide the same type of documentation to the Contract Specialist if the subcontractors do not have current DCAA approved rates or provisional billing agreements. If the Government is unable to verify the cost proposal, it will be deemed unrealistic and ineligible for award.

FACTOR 4: INDIVIDUAL SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONRACTING PLAN– (Mandatory for other than small business) (No Page Limit)

There is a mandatory Small Business subcontracting goal of 5% for this requirement.

The Offeror shall submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR clause 52.219-9.
