(b) Phrases such as "assisted with," "participated in," or "supported" are unacceptable, except as introductory to a detailed description of the actual work performed. If no such description is provided, the sentence or bulleted information will NOT be considered in the resume evaluation process. This is because evaluators would not be able to identify the specific technical work contributions made by the individual.

(c) Resume information shall be presented in bullet format.

(d) Offerors shall note that the lack of specific definition in job responsibilities and timelines of services performed or products produced may be viewed as a lack of understanding of the Government’s overall technical requirements.

(e) All relevant military experience claimed shall be described such that each relevant tour is treated as a separate employer. Time frames/titles/responsibilities shall be provided in accordance with the level of detail prescribed above. Military experience not documented in this manner will not be considered.

(f) All gaps in between positions shall be noted.

(g) Certification or correctness of information signed and dated by both the person named and the Offeror.

The employee certification shall include the following statement: CERTIFICATION: “I certify that the experience and professional development described herein are complete and accurate in all respects. I consent to the disclosure of my resume for NSWCDD Solicitation No. N00178-24-R-4200 and intend to make myself available to work under any resultant Contract to the extent proposed.

Employee Signature and Date Offeror Signature Date

(h) Resumes without this certification will be unacceptable and will not be considered.

(i) If the employee is not a current employee of the Offeror (or a proposed Sub-contractor), a copy of the accepted offer letter shall be provided in the Cost Proposal. This letter shall identify the projected start date and identifies the agreed-to salary amount.

L.3.3 VOLUME III – TOTAL COST/PRICE

(1) The Offeror shall complete and submit Cost Summary Format, Attachment J.6, and a Cost Narrative supporting the proposed cost identified in Section B. In the event of discrepancies, the Section B value will govern. Assume a 24 April 2024 performance start date.

(2) All proposed costs shall be rounded to the nearest dollar.

L.3.3.1 General

(1) The Offeror’s cost proposal shall be prepared and submitted in accordance with the following requirements. The format and content requirements provided herein apply equally to both the prime Contractor as well as any Sub-contractors/team members/consultants.

(2) An Offeror's proposal is presumed to represent the best efforts to respond to the solicitation. Any inconsistency, whether real or apparent, between promised performance and estimated cost-plus-fixed-fee should be explained in the proposal. For example, if a corporate policy decision has been made to absorb a portion of the estimated cost-plus-fixed-fee, that should be stated in the proposal. Any significant inconsistency, if unexplained, to perform the contract, and may be grounds for rejection of the proposal. The burden of proof as to price credibility rests with the Offeror.

(3) The cost proposal shall be prepared indicating cost elements and subtotals for each contract year and a total for the entire contract. Note that the contract will not contain options and pricing by Government fiscal year is neither required nor desired. Submit spreadsheets showing all cost elements and calculations using Microsoft Excel.

(4) Number all pages in the Cost Proposal (including all appendices or attachments). Provide a table of contents. No information submitted for evaluation in the Cost Proposal shall be printed in a type font smaller than 10. This includes pricing spreadsheets.

(5) Provide the name, address, and telephone number of the cognizant Government Audit Agency Office and Contract Administration Office.

(8) The spreadsheets shall be formatted such that row and column headings appear on each printed page.

(9) Sub-contractors shall also follow the format provided in Attachment J.6 as well as the above instructions.

However, Sub-contractors need not show unused rows in their spreadsheets submitted for Government review/analysis.

(10) Offerors shall note that Attachment J.6 is an Excel Workbook containing three (3) spreadsheets. The first spreadsheet "Cost Summary Format" provides the required format for the Cost Proposal. The second spreadsheet within Attachment J.6, "Supporting Cost Data", provides a suggested format for supporting rate information. The third spreadsheet provides a suggested format for indirect budget information to support proposed indirect rates IAW Section L.

L.3.3.2 Detailed Instructions by Cost Element

(1) No technical information shall be submitted as part of the Cost Proposal.

(2) The requirements of this Section apply equally to the Offeror and any proposed Sub-contractors regardless of Sub-Contract type. Specifically, all Sub-contractors are required to submit un-sanitized proposals showing unburdened labor rates, all indirect rates and must include all calculations in the cells (i.e. Show formulas).

REVIEWERS MUST BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE WHAT CELLS ARE INVOLVED IN CALCULATING

RESULTS.

(3) It is the responsibility of the Prime Contractor to ensure that ALL Sub-contractors provide information at this same level of detail regardless of the Sub-Contract pricing arrangement. If Sub-contractors do not comply, this will be viewed as indicative of the Prime Contractor’s inability to control Sub-contractor performance.

(4) The cost data shall be organized and all pages shall be numbered and a table of contents provided.

(2) This estimate is furnished for the purpose of providing additional information to the Statement of Work to permit optimum response by the Offeror. This information is provided solely for the purpose of establishing a contract ceiling and relates to the support to be provided under statement of work sections C.3 through C.4. The Offeror shall base their Cost Proposal on the total labor hours indicated. The Offeror shall provide the basis of this estimate with their cost proposal. The Offeror shall identify its direct labor rates, indirect rates, and fee applied to those categories, that are proposed to fulfill the level of effort identified above.

(3) FAR 52.237-10 in Section I defines Uncompensated Time (UT) as any hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week without additional compensation. Some firms manage UT through the process of Total Time Accounting (TTA). The effect of UT/TTA is that the total hour worked are charged to the contract/order at a rate less than the individual’s regular hourly rate based on a 40-hour workweek. In accordance with FAR 52.237-10 and the need to adequately evaluate all offers, Offerors shall:

(a) Identify proposed hours as compensated or uncompensated.

(b) Provide the basis for the number of hours used as well as the mix (i.e., compensated/uncompensated). This data must be verifiable either with DCAA or through the analysis of supplemental statistical data that the Offeror includes in the cost proposal.

(4) The total contract labor hours estimated above refers to technical labor only, including program management.

Corporate, or any other local level management, clerical, and contract business management/administration is considered to be overhead in nature. The Offeror is, however, permitted to propose such labor hours as a direct charge if it is in accordance with his standard DCAA approved practice to do so. Such hours shall be added to the total number of hours proposed. The Offeror shall clearly state what additional functions are to be direct charged, including administrative word processing, reproduction, library, contract administration (to include support for progress report preparation and invoicing), security administration, contract quality assurance, CDRL review and approval, etc. The additional hours/amounts proposed for each of these functions shall be fully explained and justified. Offerors are cautioned to submit realistic estimates in this area because the ratio of these hours to technical hours will be used as a guideline in the evaluation of delivery order proposals and the reasonableness of actual costs incurred under this contract.

(5) Labor Rates for Named Personnel - The cost proposal shall reflect actual labor rates expected to be expended in performing the proposed contract; e.g., actual hourly rates for named Personnel if such rates will be the basis for billing under the resultant contract, and not a composite rate of individuals within a labor classification or Labor Category. The Cost Proposal shall contain a table which shows the following for each named person:

(a) Current (as of the date of proposal submission) actual hourly rate (based on a 40 hour workweek).

(b) Current decremented hourly rate (if uncompensated overtime is proposed).

(c) Contract year one hourly rate.

(d) Applicable contract and Contractor Labor Category.

(e) Rates projected through the life of the contract. Offerors are cautioned that outyear rates must reflect the requirement for replacement of personnel to have qualifications equal to or better than the person being replaced.

(6) Payroll Data

(a) Offerors shall provide a screen-capture (or equivalent) from the employer's payroll system for each name in the Offeror's cost proposal dated within 30 days of the closing date of the RFP.

(b) The Offeror shall fully explain all pertinent data on a sample screen capture. The Government must be able to derive the direct rate from the screen capture information provided by the Offeror. If there is no payroll data available for one or more of the individuals proposed, or if there are TBD's the Offerors shall provide a category average and supporting documentation showing how the category average was derived.

(c) The proposed base rates provided in this Attachment must be the basis for the rates utilized in the pricing of Section B, proposed in the cost analysis narrative, and provided in the Cost Summary Format (J.6).

(d) Offerors must provide a clear analysis of the blending of rates based on the start date of the Period of Performance. If any individual's proposed rate is different from the actual incurred rate provided on Attachment J.6 or in the screen capture, the Offeror is to explain the reason for the difference in the narrative.

(7) Provide a copy of the overtime policy noting who is paid overtime and the applicable rate.

(8) Escalation - Labor escalation is defined to include all factors which affect an individual's compensation level to include merit increases, promotions, and cost-of-living adjustments. State the annual labor escalation rate used in the Cost Proposal. Provide a chart that shows the salary history for each proposed named individual for the most recent 3 year period. Show the effective dates for each rate and compute an average annual escalation rate from these data.

If a lower escalation rate is proposed than the average rate derived from the above table, specific justification shall be provided as to why the proposed rate should be considered realistic. Describe the management controls to be implemented to hold the actual labor escalation rate to what is proposed. Offerors shall ensure that the proposed escalation rate is realistic as it will be used to evaluate the reasonableness of proposed labor costs for negotiation of delivery/task orders, if applicable

(9) Uncompensated Overtime - If decremented direct labor rates are proposed, either by the prime or by any Sub-contractor, the Cost Proposal shall include a detailed description, including examples as appropriate, of the manner in which the Offeror plans to track and report compliance with the UNCOMPENSATED OVERTIME clause in Section H. Offerors shall note that clause requires reports at the delivery/task order level (if applicable) showing the aggregate percentage reduction in billing rates due to an expanded workweek. If the Offeror plans to track delivery of uncompensated overtime by reporting UT hours worked, the Offeror shall specifically show in the Cost Proposal, how the number of UT hours reported, in relation to the regular hours worked, accurately represents the actual percentage decrement to labor billing rates. Sample calculation shall be provided. Statements that the Offeror’s procedures are approved by DCAA are not sufficient.

L.3.3.2.2 Other Direct Costs

During the performance of this Contract, there will not be materials or equipment authorized for purchase.

L.3.3.2.3 Travel

(1) The Offeror shall use the following unburdened amounts for travel and include in the appropriate CLIN:

Base Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Option 4 Option 5 Total Travel $21,448 $22,300 $23,048 $23,832 $24,624 $14,603 $129,855

(2) Travel dollars are assumed to reflect the following destinations for travel requirements of the contract.

NSWCDD Dam Neck Activity, Virginia Beach, VA

NSWCDD Dahlgren, VA Fredericksburg, VA Washington, DC Chesapeake, VA Laurel, MD Wallops, VA

All other travel is assumed to be overhead in nature. If, due to the use of remotely located personnel, including Sub-contractors, or the Offeror's proposed management structure, additional travel is planned to be direct charged, it should be added to the above amounts and described in detail, justifying need for additional direct charge travel, within the cost proposal. Failure to do so will make such additional travel unallowable following contract award.

Narrative information regarding the basis for the additional amounts should be provided.

(3) If it is anticipated that Sub-contractors will need to incur items of Other Direct Costs, they shall be proposed as such (subject to the solicitation requirements with respect to ODCs) or none shall be allowed during contract performance. The Offeror shall note that the Realism Assessment will assess the extent to which the travel and material dollars provided above were allocated to proposed Sub-contractors. The Offeror shall, therefore, provide a narrative explanation of the amounts allocated to and proposed by Sub-contractors or consultants.

L.3.3.2.4 Indirect Costs

(1) Identify each proposed Cost Center. Provide its official name and note the area (organizational, geographic, etc.)

to which it applies. Note any restrictions on its applicability to this requirement.

(2) Describe each indirect pool, list the major components (accounts) of each pool and identify the base that each indirect rate is applied to.

(3) Provide a table showing each proposed indirect rate by individual Contract period. If the proposed rates represent blended rates, also show the proposed rates by Contractor fiscal year.

(4) Discuss its compliance with FAR subpart 42.7 to include the date they provided actual indirect costs to DCAA for audit for the three most recently completed Contractor FYs. Justification shall be provided if these documents have not been submitted to DCAA as well as the date they are anticipated to be provided.

(5) Provide its most recent three (3) year history of actuals incurred for each proposed indirect rate. This history shall include the Offeror' most recently completed fiscal year even if the rates are considered preliminary and have not been submitted to DCAA for audit. Note whether the actual rates have been audited by DCAA or any other independent organization, and specifically state which indirect rates have been finalized.

(6) Offerors are notified that the realism of proposed indirect rates will take historical actuals into consideration.

Further, indirect rates significantly lower than recent actuals, or declining indirect rates may not be evaluated as realistic unless fully explained or maximums/caps offered. A composite cap or maximum including all burdens applied to direct labor is considered preferable to individual rate caps or maximums.

(7) If a formal Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA) as defined in FAR 15.407-3 has been negotiated, provide a complete copy.

(8) Identify your cognizant DCMA Administrative Contracting Officer and DCAA office and provide current contact information for each.

(9) Provide copies of most recent DCAA correspondence that approves proposed indirect rates.

(10) Specifically state what indirect rates are being invoiced under cost reimbursement contracts (identify contract number) at the time of proposal submission for all cost centers included for this requirement.

(11) Proposed indirect rates that are not adequately supported by historical actuals must be explained to the Government's satisfaction to preclude a Government cost realism upward adjustment.

L.3.3.2.5 Labor Tripwire

(1) The Offeror shall identify any individual (Prime, Sub-contractor, or consultant) whose fully burdened labor rates exceed $187 per hour.

(2) If the individual is a Sub-contractor or consultant, the fully burdened hourly labor rate includes the Prime Contractor's pass thru and fee rates.

(3) The build-up, i.e. employee direct labor rate, indirect rates, fee, etc.,…
