CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION PLAN (CAP)

FOR FIXED PRICE CONTRACTS

In order to expedite the administration of this contract, the following delineation of duties is provided. The names, addresses and phone numbers for these offices or individuals are included elsewhere in the contract award document. The office or individual designated as having responsibility should be contacted for any questions, clarifications, or information regarding the administration function assigned.

1. The Procuring Contract Office (PCO) is responsible for:

a. All pre-award duties such as solicitation, negotiation and award of contracts.

b. Any information or questions during the pre-award stage of the procurement.

c. Freedom of Information inquiries.

d. Changes in contract terms and/or conditions.

e. Post award conference.

2. The Contract Administration Office (CAO) is responsible for matters specified in the FAR

42.302 and DFARS 42.302 except those areas otherwise designated as the responsibility of the

Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) or someone else herein.

3. The paying office is responsible for making payment of proper invoices after acceptance is documented.

4. The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) is responsible for interface with the contractor and performance of duties such as those set forth below. It is emphasized that only the PCO/CAO has the authority to modify the terms of the contract. In no event will any understanding, agreement, modification, change order, or other matter deviating from the terms of the basic contract between the contractor and any other person be effective or binding on the

Government. If in the opinion of the contractor an effort outside the scope of the contract is requested, the contractor shall promptly notify the PCO in writing. No action may be taken by the contractor unless the PCO or CAO has issued a contractual change. The COR duties are as follows:

a. Technical Interface

(1) The COR is responsible for all Government technical interface concerning the contractor and furnishing technical instructions to the contractor. These instructions may include: technical advice/recommendations/clarifications of specific details relating to technical aspects of contract requirements; milestones to be met within the general terms of the contract or specific subtasks of the contract; or, any other interface of a technical nature necessary for the contractor to perform the work specified in the contract. The COR is the point of contact through whom the contractor can relay questions and problems of a technical nature to the PCO.

(2) The COR is prohibited from issuing any instruction which would constitute a contractual change. The COR shall not instruct the contractor how to perform. If there is any doubt whether technical instructions contemplated fall within the scope of work, contact the PCO for guidance before transmitting the instructions to the contractor.

b. Contract Surveillance

(1) The COR shall monitor the contractor's performance and progress under the contract. In performing contract surveillance duties, the COR should exercise extreme care to ensure that he/she does not cross the line of personal services. The COR must be able to distinguish between surveillance (which is proper and necessary) and supervision (which is not permitted). Surveillance becomes supervision when you go beyond enforcing the terms of the contract. If the contractor is directed to perform the contract services in a specific manner, the line is being crossed. In such a situation, the COR's actions would be equivalent to using the contractor's personnel as if they were government employees and would constitute transforming the contract into one for personal services.

(2) The COR shall monitor contractor performance to see that inefficient or wasteful methods are not being used. If such practices are observed, the COR is responsible for taking reasonable and timely action to alert the contractor and the PCO to the situation.

(3) The COR will take timely action to alert the PCO to any potential performance problems. If performance schedule slippage is detected, the COR should determine the factors causing the delay and report them to the PCO, along with the contractor's proposed actions to eliminate or overcome these factors and recover the slippage. Once a recovery plan has been put in place, the COR is responsible for monitoring the recovery and keeping the PCO advised of progress.

(4) If the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) is applicable to the contract you are responsible for completing a Contractor Performance

Assessment Report (CPAR) in the CPARS Automated Information System (AIS). The initial

CPAR, under an eligible contract, must reflect evaluation of at least 180 days of contractor performance. The completed CPAR, including contractor comments if any, (NOTE: contractors are allowed 30 days to input their comments) should be available in the CPARS AIS for reviewing official (PCO) review no later than 270 days after start of contract performance.

Subsequent CPARs covering any contract option periods should be ready at 1-year intervals thereafter.

c. Invoice Review and Approval/Inspection and Acceptance

(1) The COR is responsible for quality assurance of services performed and acceptance of the services or deliverables. The COR shall expeditiously review copies of the contractor's invoices or vouchers, certificate of performance and all other supporting documentation to determine the reasonableness of the billing. In making this determination, the

COR must take into consideration all documentary information available and any information developed from personal observations.

(2) The COR must indicate either complete or partial concurrence with the contractor's invoice/voucher by executing the applicable certificate of performance furnished by the contractor. The COR must be cognizant of the invoicing procedures and prompt payment due dates detailed elsewhere in the contract.

(3) The COR will provide the PCO and the CAO with copies of acceptance documents such as Certificates of Performance.

(4) The COR shall work with the Contractor to obtain and execute a final invoice no more than 60 days after completion of contract performance. The COR shall ensure that the invoice is clearly marked as a “Final Invoice.”

d. Contract Modifications. The COR is responsible for developing the statement of work for change orders or modifications and for preparing an independent government cost estimate of the effort described in the proposed statement of work.

e. Administrative Duties

(1) The COR shall take appropriate action on technical correspondence pertaining to the contract and for maintaining files on each contract. This includes all modifications, government cost estimates, contractor invoices/vouchers, certificates of performance, DD 250 forms and contractor's status reports.

(2) The COR shall maintain files on all correspondence relating to contractor performance, whether satisfactory or unsatisfactory, and on trip reports for all government personnel visiting the contractor's place of business for the purpose of discussing the contract.

(3) The COR must take prompt action to provide the PCO with any contractor or technical code request for change, deviation or waiver, along with any supporting analysis or other required documentation.

f. Government Furnished Property. When government property is to be furnished to the contractor, the COR will take the necessary steps to insure that it is furnished in a timely fashion and in proper condition for use. The COR will maintain adequate records to ensure that property furnished is returned and/or that material has been consumed in the performance of work.

Enclosure (1)

g. Security. The COR is responsible for ensuring that any applicable security requirements are strictly adhered to.

h. Standards of Conduct. The COR is responsible for reading and complying with all applicable agency standards of conduct and conflict of interest instructions.

i. Written Report/Contract Completion Statement.

(1) The COR is responsible for timely preparation and submission to the PCO, of a written, annual evaluation of the contractors performance. The report shall be submitted within

30 days prior to the exercise of any contract option and 60 days after contract completion. The report shall include a written statement that services were received in accordance with the

Contract terms and that the contract is now available for close-out. The report shall also include a statement as to the use made of any deliverables furnished by the contractor.

(2) If the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) is applicable to the contract you are responsible for completing a final Contractor Performance

Assessment Report (CPAR) in the CPARS with 30 days of contract completion.

(3) The COR is responsible for providing necessary assistance to the Contracting

Officer in performing Contract Close-out in accordance with FAR 4.804, Closeout of Contract

Files.

5. The Technical Assistant (TA), if appointed, is responsible for providing routine administration and monitoring assistance to the COR. The TA does not have the authority to provide any technical direction or clarification to the contract. Duties that may be performed by the TA are as follows:

a. Identify contractor deficiencies to the COR.

b. Review contract deliverables, recommend acceptance/rejection, and provide the COR with documentation to support the recommendation.

c. Assist in preparing the final report on contractor performance for the applicable contract in accordance with the format and procedures prescribed by the COR.

d. Identify contract noncompliance with reporting requirements to the COR.

e. Review contractor status and progress reports, identify deficiencies to the COR, and provide the COR with recommendations regarding acceptance, rejection, and/or Government technical clarification requests.

f. Review invoices and provide the COR with recommendations to facilitate COR certification of the invoice.

g. Provide the COR with timely input regarding technical clarifications for the statement of work, possible technical direction to provide the contractor, and recommend corrective actions.

h. Provide detailed written reports of any trip, meeting, or conversation to the COR subsequent to any interface between the TA and contractor.

Submissions are page limited to the maximum number of pages as defined in the table. These page limitations are inclusive of the executive summary and any charts, diagrams, and/or other graphics. Graphics (including tables) in the proposal may use an alternative font with 8 point size type or larger. Each “page” is defined as one sheet, 8 ½ “ x 11”, with at least one inch margins on all sides, using Times New Roman font with a point size of 12 or greater

Pages submitted in excess of the page limitations described above will not be evaluated.

The Price Proposal is not page limited; however, the Price Proposal is to be strictly limited to price information and completed solicitation documents as described in the General Section at the beginning of this text.

* Page limits represent the maximum pages the Government will evaluate and are not construed as de facto standards for the amount of material expected in the proposal.

*Cross-Referencing: The proposal volumes shall be written on a stand-alone basis so that its contents may be evaluated without cross-referencing to another volume. Information required for proposal evaluation, which is not found in its designated volume will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal.

Volume I Non-Price Proposal

This volume shall address the Non-Price factors such as technical approach and past performance and include all information required for proposal evaluation. This volume of the proposal shall exclude any reference to the price aspects of the proposal.

The Non-price evaluation factors are listed below.

Factor I :Technical Approach

The offeror shall provide in detail a Technical Approach that will successfully accomplish the requirements of the solicitation, including the PWS. The approach should contain a narrative explaining the program management approach, techniques, or procedures to be utilized to accomplish the basic functions of planning, organizing, and controlling each food service program requirement for: serving and replenishing of food, maintaining fueling stations, management and administration, catering of special events, and cleaning and sanitation of equipment. The offeror should also describe any risks associated with the solicitation, including the PWS and any risks associated with implementation of the offeror's management approach;

describe any techniques and actions to mitigate such risks; and explain whether the techniques and actions identified for risk mitigation have been successfully used by the offeror. The offeror should provide any other information it considers relevant to the solicitation.

Factor II: Past Performance

To demonstrate its past performance, the offeror shall identify up to three (3) of its most relevant contracts or efforts within the past five (5) years, and provide any other information the offeror considers relevant to the requirements of the solicitation. Those contracts must also reflect one year of completed performance by the closing date of the solicitation. Offerors shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contracts or efforts to the requirements of the solicitation.

For purposes of this solicitation, a contract is defined as a single contract or a single task order placed under an ID/IQ contract, a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), or a Federal Supply

Schedule. Offerors shall not submit the IDIQ contract, FSS contract, or BPA itself as a reference.

Offerors may submit a combination of no more than three (3) delivery orders (DOs), task orders

(TOs), technical direction letters (TDLs), and/or technical area tasks (TATs) placed under an

ID/IQ or BPA as one of the three examples of past performance. Such a combination must also meet the requirements stated above: each individual example in the combination must have been performed within five (5) years of the solicitation issuance date and demonstrate at least one (1) year of completed performance by the closing date of the solicitation. If a combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs and or TATs are used as a past performance example, the offeror shall state the specific experience claimed, period of performance, and dollar value of each. A Past

Performance example that does not provide the level of detail required may not be evaluated. No more than one combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs and or TATs is permitted in the past performance submittal. One (1) year of completed performance is defined as twelve (12) consecutive months of performance. References with less than twelve (12) consecutive months of service will not be considered.

If subcontractor experience is provided as part of the three (3) of its most relevant contracts or efforts, the subcontractor experience will be given weight relative to the scope and magnitude of the aspects of the work under the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform.

Therefore, the offeror’s proposal shall detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. The past performance of subcontractors who will be performing major or critical aspects of the solicitation will be considered as highly as a prime contractor’s past performance.

If the prime offeror or intended subcontractor/partner submits a past performance example in which it served as a subcontractor, the prime/sub/partner shall detail clearly the work that it performed and the magnitude (dollar value) of that subcontracted work only. A Past Performance example that does not differentiate between the overall contract effort and the subcontractor effort may not be evaluated.

Failure of offerors to provide the required information and level of specificity may result in the contract reference not being evaluated. With respect to joint ventures, the procuring activity will consider work done individually by each member of the joint venture as well as any work done by the joint venture itself previously. Joint venture references must meet the temporal requirements described in ADDENDUM TO FAR PROVISION 52.212-1 (within five years and a year of completed performance. Additionally, if a joint venture member submits a past performance reference, the joint venture member shall detail clearly the work that it performed in that effort and the magnitude (dollar value) of that work. A reference that does not differentiate between the overall contract effort and the joint venture member’s effort for that reference may not be evaluated. The past performance of a joint venture member who will be performing major or critical aspects of the solicitation will be considered as highly as the joint venture’s past performance.]

The offeror should complete a “Past Performance Information Form” for each reference submitted. The form is an attachment to the solicitation. The forms will count toward the

Volume I page limit previously described.

In addition to the information requested above, offerors shall contact their past performance references and request that each reference complete the Past Performance Report Form attached to the solicitation and e-mail the completed survey form directly to BOTH the contract specialist, Arianna Williams, at arianna.m.williams2.civ@us.navy.mil and the contracting officer, Caitlin

King, at caitlin.d.king2.civ@us.navy.mil by the DUE DATE OF THIS SOLICITATION. The

Government reserves the right to consider past performance report forms received after the due date of the solicitation and to contact references for verification or additional information.

The Commandant of Midshipmen determines the number of mandatory meals for midshipmen. The current feeding plan is as follows:

(Note Corps of Midshipmen could go as high as 4,650)

* 392 tables currently in King Hall.

All mandatory meals shall be served as Tray Service. For mandatory meals, the Contractor shall develop an assigned seating plan by company area, to be approved by the COR prior to the first mandatory meal of Plebe Summer and the Academic Year.

*In the event that a holiday falls on a Monday, the Monday holiday meals will follow the Sunday schedule. In this same situation, Sunday’s meals would look like a Saturday. All scheduled meal hours are subject to change at the discretion of the COR.

*King Hall does not close.

Optional Meals.

Meals that are not mandatory for midshipmen are optional. Currently Sunday breakfast and lunch, Saturday Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and Friday Dinner are optional during the normal academic year. Optional meals are typically served through the Servery, buffet style or may be served rolling tray style from time to time. The Contractor is encouraged to improve feeding methods, but all changes shall be approved in advance by the COR.

Tray Service.

Tray Service refers to family style feeding where the Contractor will bring one tray to the table, and the table members will pass around. Tray service meals are usually mandatory but not always. Plebe Summer is always tray service. Sports teams, watch tables, and other midshipmen groups approved by the Commandant will require individual tray service outside of normal meal hours.

Open Seating/Rolling Tray.

In open seating situations, midshipmen will not sit in assigned seats, but will fill in at random. Open seating shall be served tray service. The Contractor shall minimize empty seats. Open seating is likely to be scheduled by the Government when meals are mandatory, yet the entire Brigade is not present (for example, when a portion of midshipmen have left after final exams). Rolling Tray is the same as Open Seating except that feeding begins at one end of the hall and seats are filled in from table to table working towards the other end of the hall.

Serving Buffet Style.

The Contractor shall serve optional meals buffet service if specified by the COR. For optional/buffet meals, midshipmen will come in at random within posted meal hours. For buffet service, midshipmen will queue to get their food through a buffet line and then will fill into seating on a first-come, first-serve basis (rolling tray) style. The Contractor will supply personnel who will assist in monitoring the flow of diners into their seats, in order to minimize the number of wasted seats at a table. Midshipmen are allowed to come back through the lines for second helpings. The Contractor’s predominant service requirements for buffet service will be food servers; however, the Contractor shall have attendants available to assist customers in the dining room, replenishing the buffet line/bars and for cleaning of and around the buffet lines as needed during the meal.

Servey or additions lines provided in the main dining area

The Servery is designed similar to a food court type operation you would find in a mall food court. Midshipmen pick up a tray at the entrance of the Servery and then go to one of eight stations where they are either served by a Contractor or self-serve themselves. Once they have received their food they then return to the dining room to eat. One station is a Grab-N-Go station where the midshipmen may grab food to take outside of the facility to consume. The Contractor shall provide sufficient personnel to support serving from buffet lines, assist replenishment of self-serve lines and for cleaning of and around buffet lines. The personnel will be responsible for sanitation requirements in the Severy common areas and in King Hall. The Contractor will remain responsible for King Hall table set up and bussing.

No matter what type of service is provided, all spills, dropped food and trash on floors during service will be picked up within five (5) minutes of taking place to prevent accidents.

Sports Team Tables and Pre-Meet Tables.

The Naval Academy Athletic Association (NAAA) requires additional tables for all meals served daily (Monday through Friday) for designated sports teams. Pre-Meet Tables are regularly occurring meals that are designated for sports teams that require additional dietary needs prior to sports competition. These tables are in a separate area of King Hall and the Contractor shall be prepared to interact with an NAAA representative for the reservation and coordination of all

Sports Tables and Pre-Meet meals at the discretion of the COR. There are regular instances where some team tables and/or pre-meet tables require resetting during the course of a meal to create additional seating capacity within the designated team table area. Prescribed meal hours for pre-meet tables and team tables do vary somewhat from regular meal hours and precise requirements will be identified by the COR. Subject to change due to any unforeseen pandemic or emergency

* included in Mess Attendant Services for Regular Meals Served in King Hall.

Patrons.

Only approved patrons may dine in King Hall. On occasion, in the absence of the QAE’s ,the

Contractor’s customer service representative shall collect meal tickets or verify paid receipt from patrons and forward to the MFSD Accounting Office.
