IAW Part II, 52.212-4(w), Option to Purchase This Time Chartered Vessel, insert proposed purchase price of vessel:

76. Cancellation Fee: The Contractor and Government agree the purpose of this clause is to induce the Contractor to offer to and to provide the required services when the Contractor otherwise would not offer to provide them because of the Contractor’s inability to recover its out-of-pocket costs in the event the Government does not exercise an option to extend the term of the contract or terminates the contract for the convenience of the Government.

In the event the Government does not exercise an option to extend the term of the contract or terminates the contract for convenience, the Contractor shall be entitled to not-to-exceed cancellation costs subject to the following conditions and according to the following schedule:

Prior to Delivery $ (of vessel) Vessel acquisition $ Reflagging $ Conversion/Modification $ During Fixed Performance Period $ Vessel acquisition $ Reflagging $ Conversion/Modification $

During 1st Option Performance Period $ Vessel acquisition $ Reflagging $ Conversion/Modification $

During 2nd Option Performance Period $

Vessel acquisition $ Reflagging $ Conversion/Modification $

"Cancellation costs" means, and only means, costs specifically identified by the Contractor in its proposal and actually incurred by the Contractor between contract award and vessel delivery to the Government including, and limited to, the following categories of costs: costs incurred by the Contractor for vessel acquisition, reflagging costs and modification, or conversion costs, and only to the extent such modification, or conversion costs were incurred in order for the vessel to meet contract requirements. The Government has sufficient working capital funds for these cancellation costs.

When requesting payment of cancellation costs, the Contractor shall provide evidence satisfactory to the Contracting Officer verifying that Contractor actually incurred the specified categories of cancellation costs prior to delivery of the vessel to the Government and the amount thereof.

The cancellation costs must be reasonable, allowable, and allocable to the contract as defined in FAR 31.201. The Government will not be obligated in any event to reimburse the Contractor for the specified categories of cancellation costs in excess of the amount allotted in the schedule above for each contract period regardless of anything to the contrary in the clause entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government." The Contractor agrees that payment of the specified cancellation costs according to the schedule above for any contract period fully compensates the Contractor for the specified categories of cancellation costs. The Contractor waives any right it may have to claim any additional costs for the specified categories of cancellation costs in the event such cancellation costs become payable, whether as a result of a termination for convenience or as a result of the Government's failure to exercise an option. As used in this clause, the total amount payable by the Government for the specified categories of cancellation costs in the event the Government does not exercise an option or terminates the contract for convenience is as set forth in the schedule above.

This clause does not limit the rights of the Government under the clauses entitled “Default,” “Termination for Convenience of the Government,” “Loss of Vessel,” “No Cost Cancellation – Deficiencies,” “Remedies,” or “Excessive Time Lost.” The clauses entitled “Default,” “Loss of Vessel,” “No Cost Cancellation – Deficiencies,” “Remedies,” and “Excessive Time Lost” are not subject to cancellation costs.

Note: Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2401, the Government is prohibited from entering into a vessel charter that contains a substantial termination liability. Offerors who submit substantial termination liabilities will not be considered for award. A substantial termination liability is defined by the statute as:

i. An agreement by the U.S., under the contract, to pay an amount equal to or greater than 25% of the value of the vessel for the termination liability; or

ii. An agreement by the U.S., under the contract, to pay an amount equal to or greater than 50% of the value of the vessel for the sum of the termination liability and the value of the total payments attributable to capital-hire.

PART X

PART X. INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

(a) The Contractor shall comply with the following FAR provisions:

(1) FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors—Commercial Items (APR 2014) (tailored pursuant to FAR 12.302(a).

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF 1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.209-7 (XII(c)(1)) Information Regarding Responsibility Matters; and FAR 52.212-3 (XII(c)(2)) (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically). (Tailored)

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Completed Attachments B, C, D, F,P and Q

(11) Past Performance Information: (Tailored)

(12) Offerors Proposed Option Purchase Price requested in PART II, 52.212-4(w), Option to Purchase this Time Chartered Vessel, shall be entered in Part I (Dry Time Boxes) box 75.

Offerors are requested to provide information on up to three previous Government contracts whose effort is/was recent and relevant to the effort required by this solicitation.

A. “Recent” is defined as a contract in-progress or completed within the last three years. If the offeror has not had three Government contracts within the last three years, information on recent and relevant subcontracts and/or commercial contracts may be submitted.

B. “Relevant” is defined as a contract that is of similar scope, magnitude, complexity to the requirements as set forth in this solicitation.

1. Scope: Experience in the areas defined in the PWS.

2. Magnitude: The measure of the similarity of the volume, dollar value and/or duration of the work actually performed under the offeror’s submitted contracts to the PWS.

3. Complexity: The measure of the similarity of technical difficulty, managerial intricacy and/or required coordination of efforts and disciplines performed by the offeror in its submitted contracts to the PWS. For complexity, not only will the tasks performed by the offeror be considered, but also the offeror’s ability to coordinate tasks (e.g., concurrent performance requirements).

Offerors shall submit a Past Performance Data Sheet (Attachment IX(A)) for each contract to be considered as past performance. Offerors shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the similarity of the contracts to the requirements of this solicitation; a detailed description of the work performed for the contract; and the role performed, including whether the offeror acted as a prime contractor or a subcontractor. Offerors are responsible for the accuracy of all data provided. Past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience and subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement may be provided as past performance submissions.

For each of the contracts the offeror describes in a Performance Data Sheet (Attachment IX(P)), the offeror is requested to provide a Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment IX(P)) to a reference at the organization that awarded the contract. It is requested that the reference, not the offeror, email the completed Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment IX(P)) BEFORE THE DUE DATE FOR PROPOSALS directly to the Contract Specialist identified in Box 7 of SF1449. The offeror, NOT THE GOVERNMENT, is responsible for ensuring that the Government receives a sufficient number of questionnaires.

All offerors are requested to address historical compliance with the requirements of FAR 52.219-8 (Utilization of Small Business Concerns) in the Performance Data Sheet (Attachment IX(P)). In addition, large businesses are requested to address historical compliance with the requirements of FAR 52.219-9 (Small Business Subcontracting Plan) and Class Deviation 2016-O0009 (Small Business Subcontracting Plan, DOD Requirements.) in the Performance Data Sheet (Attachment IX(P)).

An offeror that does not have recent and relevant past performance to provide for consideration is requested to affirmatively state that it does not have recent and relevant past performance for the Government to consider.

(12) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(13) Proposals shall not require extensive searching throughout the document(s) to locate and evaluate a particular item. Each volume should be written, to the greatest extent possible, on a stand-alone basis. The Government will not search through and fill-in missing information between volumes. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the technical evaluation of proposals, offerors should complete Column F of Attachment Q to indicate the page number and volume of their proposals that addresses the corresponding requirement listed in Attachment Q.

(14) Form of Submission. (Tailored) Offers shall be submitted electronically. Discussion items and Final proposal revisions (FPRs), if requested by the Contracting Officer, shall be submitted by electronic mail.

Electronic proposals shall be sent to michael.peroha@navy.mil and franklin.orvin@navy.mil

Two separate files shall be submitted (Volume I – Price/Past Performance, and Volume II – Technical), with markings separating each section.

Proposals are to be submitted electronically to the email addresses provided above. Pages may be single- or double-spaced and no smaller than 12-point font type. Graphic information contained in tables, charts, figures, or graphs are exempted from the 12-point font limitation, and may contain a smaller, legible, font size. The Technical Volume, Volume II, shall include one complete set of general arrangement drawings of the proposed vessel.

Proposals shall not contain any classified information. Any portion of an offer, which the Offeror considers business sensitive, should be clearly marked as such (see FAR 52.215-1(e)).

Offers must arrive prior to the date and time indicated in Box 9 on the SF 1449. Unless offeror proposes a shorter period, by submission of an offer, offeror agrees that its offer, including any timely revisions thereto, shall remain valid until the Government makes award under this solicitation. The foregoing does not preclude an offeror from withdrawing its offer prior to award.

For treatment of late proposals or modifications of proposals see FAR 52.215-1.

For Final Proposal Revisions (FPRs) submitted via electronic mail, proposals shall be in either Adobe, Microsoft Word, with the exception of the signed SF1449, any amendments, which must be included in a proposal as scanned .pdf files, and the price proposal, which must be submitted in Microsoft Excel format.

To be timely, an E-mail proposal must be received in its entirety in the designated E-mail inbox by the due date and time for final proposal submission. An E-mail proposal that resides on a Government server, but has not appeared in the designated E-mail inbox by the due date and time for proposal submission will be considered late in accordance with FAR 15.208(b).

(d) Vessel Substitution. (Tailored) No proposed substitution will be permitted by Charterer during the procurement solicitation process after the date and time for receipt of offers has passed except when such substitution is made as part of a revised offer during a period in which the solicitation is reopened or when such substitution is made as part of a final proposal revision.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and—

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government’s control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.
