All questions are requested in writing by 14 days after the solicitation is issued.

L.3 ORGANIZATION AND MINIMUM CONTENT OF THE PROPOSAL

In order to facilitate evaluation, it is desired that the Proposal be structured into the following components.

L.3.1 VOLUME I: SOLICITATION, OFFER AND AWARD DOCUMENTS (SF 33 - RFP)- one Electronic Copy

L.3.1.2 This document, which may be used as part of the contract award document, shall be fully executed and returned as a separate document from the technical proposal and cost proposals. Complete the fill-ins in Section(s) K, complete all Representations and Certifications in Section K, and ensure that an authorized person signs the offer in Block 17 of Page 1. This document shall not be embellished with any covers or binding.

L.3.1.3 Offerors are encouraged not to take exceptions to this solicitation, however, any exceptions taken to the specifications, or terms and conditions of this solicitation shall be identified in a cover letter and explained in detail in the appropriate section of the technical proposal.

L.3.2 VOLUME II: TECHNICAL PROPOSAL - One Electronic Copy

The technical proposal shall not contain any reference to cost and shall be prepared in accordance with the following guidelines and the TECHNICAL PROPOSAL specific requirements below.

The technical proposal should be written so that management and engineering oriented personnel can make a thorough evaluation and arrive at a sound determination as to whether the proposal meets the requirements of this solicitation. To this end, the proposal shall be so specific, detailed and complete as to clearly and fully demonstrate that the prospective contractor has a thorough understanding of the technical requirements contained in Section C of this solicitation. The technical proposal shall not exceed 50 pages in its discussion of management, technical, corporate experience, personnel and facilities.

Statements such as "the offeror understands", "will comply with the statement of work," "standard procedures will be employed", "well known techniques will be used" and general paraphrasing of the statement of work are considered inadequate. The technical proposal must provide details concerning what the contractor will do and how it will be done. This includes a full explanation of the techniques, disciplines, and procedures proposed to be followed.

Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentations beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are not desired and may be construed as an indication of the offeror's lack of cost consciousness. Elaborate art work, expensive paper and bindings, or expensive visual and other presentation aids are neither necessary nor desired.

In the event any portion of the technical proposal is written by anyone who is not a bona fide employee of the firm submitting the proposal, a certificate to this effect shall be furnished. It must be signed by a responsible officer of the offeror and shall show the author's name, employment capacity, the name of the person's firm, the relationship of that firm to the offeror's, and the portion of the technical proposal he/she wrote.

Technical information previously submitted, if any, may not be considered by the Government; hence, any such information should not be relied upon or incorporated in the technical proposal by reference.

The Cost Proposal shall contain a table which shows the following for each labor category:

(1) Current (as of the date of proposal submission) actual hourly rate (based on a 40 hour work week) and note the effective date of the rate (Month/Year);

(3) Provide copies of current payroll records to support proposed base hourly rates. In the case of a contingent hire, provide a copy of an accepted offer letter that identifies the agreed-to salary amount.

(4) If you are proposing “TBD” or vacant positions, please provide written rationale for proposed hourly rates.

L.3.3.3 OTHER DIRECT COSTS

Travel – If travel is proposed, origin of travel, number of travelers, trip duration, and cost (separately show costs for, rental car, etc).

(3) Please provide a complete description of each indirect cost pool and a listing of the types of costs that are charged to each pool. Identify the base to which the indirect cost rate is applied (for example, if the indirect pool is “Labor Overhead” and the indirect rate is applied to total direct labor cost, identify the base for the “Labor Overhead” pool as “Total Direct Labor Cost”). If DCAA has not approved your indirect rates, provide a complete explanation of how the proposed indirect rate was calculated. Indirect rates (and the methodology for computing those rates) that have not been approved by DCAA may require review by DCAA or by the NSWCDD Cost/Price Analyst prior to contract award.

(4) Provide a three-year history of actuals incurred for each proposed indirect rate. This history shall include the Offeror's most recently completed fiscal year and the three previous fiscal periods. Note whether the actuals have been audited by DCAA. Provide a detailed explanation for rate fluctuations from one year to the next of 10% or greater. For example, an increase of a 30% fringe rate to 33% is a 10% increase.

(5) Facilities Capital Cost of Money

The Offeror shall provide a completed DD Form 1861 - Contract Facilities Capital Cost of Money, if this element is to be proposed. This data shall be specifically identified in the cost proposal.

Offerors shall state their proposed fixed fee rate and the specific base to which it has been applied. If the proposal reflects a multiple fee rate structure (e.g, a lower fee rate applied to Sub-contract costs), each rate and the applicable base shall be explicitly identified. Although none is planned at this time, Offerors are reminded of the requirements of FAR 45.302-3(c) which provides that no fee shall be allowed on the cost of facilities when purchased for the account of the Government under other than a facilities contract.

L.3.3.5 OVERALL PROJECT

(1) Identify your cognizant DCAA and ACO (DCMC) offices. Provide the name of a point of contact for each and provide current phone numbers.

(2) Your accounting system must be approved by DCAA for cost type contracts. Please indicate whether or not your accounting system has been approved. If it has not, contact your cognizant DCAA as soon as possible to arrange for this review; this can add as much as 8-12 weeks to the contract award process.

(3) Identify your fiscal year if other than the calendar year.
