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 WI package. 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).

A Past Performance Data Sheet (Attachment J-12) shall be submitted 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 Past Performance Data Sheet (Attachment J-12), the offeror is requested to provide a Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment J-13) to a reference at the organization that awarded the contract. The reference, not the offeror, shall email the completed Past Performance Questionnaire, BEFORE THE DUE DATE FOR PROPOSALS, directly to James Parker at james.parker5@navy.mil. Hard copy and fax submittals will not be considered. If the contracts listed in Attachment J-12 are available in a Government past performance system (i.e. CPARS, FAPIIS, ESRS) for Government review, Attachment J-13 is not required. The offeror, NOT THE GOVERNMENT, is responsible for ensuring the Government receives completed Past Performance Questionnaires.

2) Volume II – Technical Proposal.

a) 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.

b) 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 into the proposal.

c) 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.

d) 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.

3. SPECIFICATION CLARIFICATION. Offerors may use the RFC, provided in attachment J-8, to request clarification of any WI specification or contract term. No verbal requests for information will be accepted. Offerors’ questions must be submitted via email to james.parker5@navy.mil.

b. Offerors who plan to inspect the vessel must complete the registration process IAW paragraph 6, “Ship & Base Access,” below. Personnel who fail to pre-register will, at best, experience protracted delays in accessing the vessel. A second inspection will NOT be scheduled.

c. Contractor’s failure to investigate, pursuant to the site inspection instructions in the solicitation, general and local conditions potentially affecting the work or its cost, will not relieve Contractor’s responsibility for properly estimating the cost of successful performance of the work, or for proceeding to successfully perform the work, without additional expense to the Government.

6. SHIP & BASE ACCESS (NOV 2017)

Vendors are responsible for correctly submitting forms/applications. Vendors are encouraged to monitor email using the “Request a Read Receipt” function and to confirm receipt of facsimile transmissions.
