CONTENT OF PROPOSALS

L – [2] CONTENT OF PROPOSALS (SERVICES) – March 2019

PART A GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 GENERAL

The Offeror must respond to all requirements of the solicitation and not alter or rearrange the solicitation. The

Offeror is advised that the Government may incorporate any portions of the Offeror’s proposal into the resulting contract.

In presenting material in the proposal, the Offeror is advised that quality of information is more important than quantity. Clarity, brevity, and logical organization shall be emphasized during proposal preparation. Statements that the prospective Offeror understands, can comply with, or will comply with, the specifications, and paraphrasing the requirements or parts thereof without supporting information are considered inadequate by the Government, and may result in assessing weaknesses and/or deficiencies.

The Offeror must include any data that illustrates the adequacy of the various assumptions, approaches, and solutions to problems. Failure to address a specific factor or subfactor clearly may be considered a deficiency.

Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentation materials beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal is neither necessary nor desired.

The Government advises the Offeror that taking exception or deviating from any term or condition of the RFP may result in the assessment of a deficiency to the proposal.

Throughout these instructions, a “principal subcontractor” is defined as a subcontractor who provides at least 20% of the proposed total cost/price (excluding the Offeror’s profit/fee), for the contract or provides one or more Key

Personnel. “JV Team member” is defined as one of the entities that make up a joint venture (JV) formed for the purpose of responding to this solicitation.

Questions: Offerors may submit questions requesting clarification of solicitation requirements by emailing the contract specialist at allison.kohut@navy.mil and the contracting officer May Dimitrov at may.dimitrov@navy.mil.

It is required that all questions be received within 10 calendar days of the date this solicitation is issued.

2.0 PROPOSAL FORMAT

Written proposals must be formatted using a Times New Roman 12 pt. Normal font (no reduction permitted), single-spaced with 1-inch margins all around, and formatted for standard 8.5 x 11-inch paper. All pages should be numbered with section and page numbers. When foldout pages are used they must not exceed 11 x 17 inches and will be counted as 1 page. Drawings may be provided separately and may be any size but should be folded to approximately 8.5 x 11-inch standard size and will count as 1 page. Graphs and tables shall be presented in no smaller than a 10 pt. font and should contain a grid, which allows values to be read directly from the graph. Graphic resolution, including such data as tables or charts, should be consistent with the purpose of the data presented.

The Offeror will provide one complete copy of the proposal to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) as electronic files fully compatible with Microsoft 10 and for information not supported by MS Office products, with the latest Adobe Acrobat reader on a CD-ROM.

Excel format on CD-ROM media. Within all Excel spreadsheets, the Offeror shall use formulas and functions to the maximum extent possible and avoid using output type “value only” cells. If links are utilized, supply those referenced files. Spreadsheets shall not be protected.

(c) All cost/price and cost/price supporting information shall be contained in Section B and the cost/price proposal.

No price or pricing information shall be included in any other technical volume including cover letters. Offerors are responsible for submitting sufficient information to enable the Government to fully evaluate their cost/price proposal.

3.2 Ground Rules and Assumptions:

(a) As this is a competitive acquisition with adequate price competition anticipated, certified cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.403-1 is not required. However, in the event that adequate price competition does not exist after receipt of proposals, the Government reserves the right to request additional cost or pricing data as necessary from both the Offeror and subcontractors. Further, the Offeror may be required to provide a Certificate of Current

Cost or Pricing Data prior to award, pursuant to FAR 15.406-2.

(b) The Offeror shall provide sufficient information to support its cost/price as well as an explanation of all ground rules and assumptions that affect the cost/price estimates.

(c) If subcontractors are proposed, they shall provide the same information required for the prime contractor, unless otherwise noted below.

3.3 Cost/Price Information:

Offerors shall submit their fully completed cost/price proposal utilizing the Cost Summary Spreadsheet (Attachment

P6 Prime and Subcontractor ). The spreadsheet shall be formatted on letter size (8.5 X 11) paper and shall be unprotected and unlocked, with formulae intact to show mathematical operations. The Offeror shall use the CLIN

Summary tab to breakout total proposed costs by CLIN.

Complete Attachment P7 and P8, (Fully Burdened Labor Rates and Fully Burden Hourly Overtime Labor Rates), detailing the fully burdened labor rates for all prime contractors and their subcontractor personnel. Fully burdened labor rates are defined as direct labor rates plus all applicable burdens, to include indirect rates, fee, and subcontractor pass-through costs where applicable. For subcontractor labor, the fully burdened labor rates shall be inclusive of any pass-through charges (e.g., subcontractor handling, fixed fee on subcontractor labor, etc.) applied by the prime contractor. Proposed fully burdened labor costs may be subject to the NAVAIR labor tripwire identified in Section M. Offerors that propose a fully burdened per employee labor cost exceeding the labor tripwire shall provide rationale in their cost proposal narrative section that justifies the reasonableness of the tripwire cost for the applicable employees.

(a) The Government is not soliciting any investments. However, in order for the Government to properly assess a proposed cost/price that appears low due to a corporate decision to absorb costs, e.g., lower than usual burdens or rates, the Offeror shall fully identify and explain any such investments.

(b) Direct/Indirect Rates: The Offeror shall submit Forward Pricing Rate Agreements (FPRAs), Collective

Bargaining Agreements (CBAs), and Area Wage Determinations (AWDs) as applicable for all proposed personnel.

The Offeror shall identify whether the labor rates proposed are FPRAs, CBAs, AWDs, ACO/DCAA recommended rates (FPRRs), or Offeror proposed rates (FPRPs). The Offeror shall provide Defense Contract Audit Agency

(DCAA) Information/Payroll Verification information as follows: A DCAA point of contact, with a current e-mail address, must be provided for the prime and each subcontractor. The Offeror and proposed subcontractors shall provide the most current DCAA Provisional Billing Rate Approval Letter, DCAA Final Billing Rate Approval

Letter, and/or DCAA Forward Pricing Rate Agreement recommendation, payroll verification for currently employed proposed personnel, and any other information necessary to substantiate the rates proposed. Payroll verification shall consist of a form containing the title, direct labor rate, and a signed certification by an authorized representative of the company that the information contained in the form is correct. For key personnel contingent hires, the offeror shall provide contingent offer letters outlining salary information for contingent hire employees.

For any prospective hires for non-key personnel, provide information to substantiate the rates proposed. All contingent hires shall have a letter of intent submitted under the Cost Volume. The letter of intent is a separate written agreement signed by the potential employee(s) to work for the Offeror effective at contract award. Any proposed consultants shall have a consultant agreement substantiating the rates proposed. If a composite rate or other pricing methodology (e.g. cost estimating relationships) is utilized, the Offeror shall demonstrate how those rates were developed. Subcontractors and team members shall provide this information either separately or included in the Offeror’s submission of this document.

The following definition applies:

- A “contingent hire” is an individual who has committed, under a signed letter of intent, inclusive of salary information, to being employed by the Offeror if the Offeror is awarded the contract.

- A “prospective hire” is an individual that the offeror has committed to hiring if the offeror is awarded the task order whose identity may not be known until after contract award.

If any of the rates utilized by the Offeror or any subcontractors differ from the DCAA information and/or payroll verification, a justification shall be provided for the difference. If DCAA has not reviewed the rate information for an Offeror or one of its subcontractors, the Offeror must submit a detailed justification of the proposed direct and indirect rates. The Offeror shall also provide documentation verifying that it has a DCMA approved Accounting

System in accordance with DFARS clause 252.242-7006, or state that it’s Accounting System has not been approved by DCMA. Offerors shall provide the last three (3) years of actual indirect information. The Government may compare a prospective Offeror’s labor category rate to the average labor rate from industry.

(c) Except for FFP type of CLINs (e.g., CPFF, CPIF, or CPAF) under the solicitation, the Offeror shall fully disclose the buildup of cost/price of each CLIN.

(d) When completing the Cost Summary Spreadsheet (Attachment P6), the Offeror shall not utilize any fully burdened hourly rates when pricing the labor of its employees.

(e) Offeror's labor classifications should cross-reference to Department of Labor (DOL) wage determination classifications as much as possible.

This solicitation is, and the resulting contract will be, subject to the Service Contract Act of 1965, as amended, and to FAR clause 52.222-41, contained in Section I of this solicitation. Offerors shall propose employee’s wages in accordance with the attached Wage Determination. As part of the cost/price proposal, the Offeror shall furnish the names of the proposed labor categories and the corresponding labor categories from the attached Wage

Determination as well as documentation of compliance with the minimum monetary wages and fringe benefits for service employees as specified in the Wage Determination (provided as an attachment in Section J of this solicitation). Offerors are required to submit a total compensation plan setting forth salaries and fringe benefits proposed for employees (including temporary and part time employees) who will work under the contract and are subject to the Act, and explain how the compensation plan complies with the Service Contract Act. Offerors are reminded that in accordance with FAR clause 52.222-43, proposals shall not include any allowance for any contingency to cover increased costs for which adjustment is provided under this clause.
