Section B - Supplies or Services and Prices

PART I - THE SCHEDULE

Section B, Price Schedule, detailed information

CLIN 0001 –Attachment J-2 – Category “A” WIs provides a work item (WI) breakdown of CLIN 0001 pricing.

CLIN 0002: This CLIN contains the Fully-Burdended Labor Rate (FBLR) (e.g., General and Administrative (G&A), overhead, Profit, Supervision, consumables, and/or support functions, etc.) and the ODC Profit and G&A rate. These rates are used for pricing changes negotiated under the H-3 Clause - AGR and H-4 Clause ODC, for the duration of the contract. Changes are inherent to vessel repair contracts and should be expected by the Contractors. Additionally, this CLIN includes G&A and profit rates for ODC to be used for negotiating changes. These rates shall prevail throughout the duration of the contract’s Period of Performance even when extended/modified. The number of man-hours and ODC base are estimates that were generated for evaluation purposes; the actual amounts of man-hours and ODC may be used interchangeably under the contract which could result in a distribution and amount of man-hours and ODC that is either higher or lower than that stated in CLIN 0002. Any additional AGR or ODC required beyond the CLIN 0002 estimated amount shall be added through contract modification using the same AGR and ODC rates agreed upon at contract award. Any unused AGR or ODC will be de-obligated from the contract at the same AGR and ODC rates agreed upon at contract award. The contractor agrees that the number of man-hours included in its proposed price for such AGR shall include only direct production man-hours. For these purposes, direct production man-hours are for skilled labor at the Journeyman level expended in direct production as exemplified by the following functions:

Direct production man-hours will not include those functions (whether charged directly or indirectly by the contractor’s accounting system) which are herein defined as support for production functions. Necessary support functions shall be considered to be included in the offeror's FBLR for direct production man-hours. Examples of support functions include:

Consumable materials are goods used in the ordinary course of work performance such as office supplies, paper, rags, vehicle or equipment fuel costs, cleaning chemicals, disposable tools, welding rods, paint buckets, paint brushes, protective clothing, etc. that are consumed/used in the process of repair and do not become an integral part of the repaired vessel. Consumable material shall be included in the contractor's fully loaded manhour rate and not separately priced.

The rates for profit and G&A on CLIN 0002 above shall be the same rates used by the contractor in its responses to the Request For Contract Change Order (CCO) Proposals issued under this contract. The KO will apply these rates to the ODCs for each CCO when it is negotiated and settled.

The base cost, stated in this CLIN, does not include the profit or G&A rates.

NOTE: This does not include any material cost for Category “A” WIs. The material cost for Category “A” WIs has been included under CLIN 0001.

CLINs 0003 through 0008 –Attachment J-3 – Category “B” WIs provides a work item (WI) breakdown of CLIN 0003 through 0008 pricing.

iii. 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 SOW.

The offeror, NOT THE GOVERNMENT, is responsible for ensuring the Government receives a sufficient number of questionnaires or that sufficient information is documented into past performance systems for review.

2. Volume II – Technical Proposal.

The technical proposal will be the basis for assessing the offeror’s ability to understand and perform the tasks in the solicitation. Section M of the solicitation outlines the evaluation factors and defines the source selection evaluation criteria for evaluating the technical proposal. A legible, neat, orderly and comprehensive proposal is required. Data should be presented in Evaluation Factor sequence (1.0-3.0) and paragraph numbering in the proposal submitted should coincide with the numbering system set forth in Section M. Failure to respond to any one of the evaluation factors may result in disqualification of the proposal.

The technical proposal must demonstrate an understanding of and an ability to meet all of the requirements covered in the specification. The proposal should be sufficiently complete to demonstrate how the offeror will comply with government directions and requirements throughout the performance period. Data previously submitted, or presumed to be known, i.e., descriptions of previous projects performed for the government, cannot be considered as a part of the proposal unless physically incorporated in the proposal.

All information must be presented in sufficient depth for the government to make a comprehensive evaluation of the offeror’s understanding of the work package and of the offeror’s capability to successfully perform the work package.

The proposal should demonstrate this understanding and capability in a concise, logical manner and should not contain superfluous material not directly related to the solicitation.
