SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

PRE PROPOSAL INQUIRIES 1-65

1. Do the requirements for the BOS Contract at Rota include hospital services (i.e., experienced physicians and nurses for the hospital to provide medical services.) How is this currently being provided?

Please see Performance Work Statement.

2. Will this be full and open to non host country businesses?

Yes.

3. Is there a requirement for on-site medical care support services?

Please see Performance Work Statement.

4. Was a site visit schedule for 11 JUNE 2014? If so, when is the registration deadline?

The site visit was re-scheduled for June 25, 2014. Please see the pre-solicitation posting on FedBizOpps (www.fbo.gov) for details.

5. Will the new contract require a facility clearance?

6. 1 – Part of the zip file with PDF documents inside (ECR Rota BOS Contract) and on the very last page of the document it shows

D862 – Material and Equipment (Negotiated) – 222,184.56 2 – Was sent as an excel spread sheet and titled Attachment J _B-1_0200000_J_J_0200000-06_ELINs and on the very last page of this document it shows D862 – Material and Equipment (Negotiated) – 22,184.56 Can you please clarify for us which document is the correct one to be used.

Please use Attachment J 0200000-06 ELINs REV 6.23.14 2

7. In reviewing the documents released for the solicitation Base Operating Services Naval Station Rota, Spain we have found some errors in the ATTACHMENT J-020000-06 which has the information for the pricing ELINS. The “Description” block for the ELINS noted below appear to be wrong. They all seem to have the same information listed even though it is supposed to be different work. ELIN’s in error: A787, C787, D787, A788, C788, D788, A789, C789, D789, A790, C790, D790, A791, C791, D791, A792, C792, D792, Please provide an updated Attachment J-020000-06 .

Please use Attachment J 0200000-06 ELINs REV 6.23.14 2

8. Section L, Page 31, Paragraph 5

Under Section L, number 5 of the RFP # N33191-14-R-1010 for Operations & Maintenance Services at Naval Air Station Rota, Spain the Certificates of Classification requirement will severely limit competition.

There are only seven certified firms in Spain as indicated on the attached list. Only the incumbent contractor, Newimar, S.A., is located in the province near NAS Rota. While the other six certified Spanish firms might bid, many if not all might not be familiar with U.S. Government contracting procedures, too far from the work location, or would not have enough time to find an adequate partner with aviation fuels experience per se to submit a compliant response. Since the Certificates of Classifications were not previously known to industry as no DRAFT RFP was posted prior to the RFP posting date of 2 June 2014, industry was unaware of certification requirements. We responded to the Government Sources Sought notification on March 27, 2014 indicating interest in this opportunity, however, no information existed at the time that Spanish services certifications would be required to submit a compliant proposal. We recently bid on U.S. Air Force base maintenance services at Moron Air Base in Spain. That solicitation did not require the Spanish Certificates of Classification. Recommend that the Government consider removing the requirement to have Spanish services certifications completely or allow the successful bidder to obtain these certifications within a specified period of time. Requiring the Certificates of Classification will render us unable to bid on this opportunity and, we believe, will severely restrict compliant proposals up to the point of only the incumbent bidding. This “restriction” would severely limit competition to just Spanish firms.

See revised Section L.

9. Could you please clarify the statement about what Past Performance is acceptable -- Specifically, if a directly relevant contract performed for the government of Spain will be considered?

Joint Venture offerors must include at least one relevant contract for each partner, where each partner performed as the prime contractor by itself or as part of a joint venture.

10. Please we have a doubt about the establishment of the JV. Is it enough to present at the time of submission of the proposal a JV Agreement duly executed by both parties and duly notarized?

Please see Section M, 2. Basis of Evaluation and Submittal Requirements for Price and Each Factor,

a. Price Evaluation:, (i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements, v. Joint Venture (JV) Agreement

11. In the L section of the proposal, “Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Bidders”, the business certificates classification of Spanish Ministry of Economy and Finance (Group, Subgroup and category) are required.

In the M section “Evaluation Factors for Award”, assessment factors for Competition, and, between Non-price requirements and technical capacity, presenting three relevant contracts performed for the U.S.

government, and minimal amounts of three million dollars is required. Our question is if the Contracting Office is considering that the conditions of Section L to be enough to apply to bid this contract, or we must comply with the conditions on of Section M too.

The conditions of both Sections and L and M must be satisfied. See revised Sections L and M.

12. Could you please clarify the statement regarding what Past Performance is acceptable by our potential joint venture partner-- Specifically, if they performed a relevant for the government of Spain will be considered as acceptable Past Performance?

See answer to Question 9.

13. Section L.5, “Certificates of Classification”, states that the business certificate classifications of the Spanish

Ministry of Economy and Finance (Group, Subgroup and category) are required for all offerors.

Section M.2.b(1) “Corporate Experience”,additionally requires that each offeror (or each member for a JV) present three relevant contracts performed for the U.S.DOD within the last 8 years, with contract values of three million dollars or greater. Given the following facts (1) This competition is open to all offerors as full and open (2) not all offerors may be Spanish companies with timely access to the Spanish Government Classification system; (3) Many Spanish companies will be able to meet the Government classification requirements, but may not have had the opportunity to compete for U.S. DOD contracts, our question is as follows:. Will the Government permit offerors to meet either one or the other of the two corporate experience requirements i.e. Either have the classifications stated in Section L or the Corporate Experience requirements of Section M?

The requirements of both Section L and M must be satisfied.

14. We would like to know if a foreign company needs to meet with the Spanish Regulation “Clasificación del Contratista” or if it is exempted.

15. We would like to know if a company may use the experience of a parent company if they will have a meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract or if the experience must be for the same company (exact name) who is submitting the offer.

Yes, a firm may use the experience of a parent company if the firm has meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract.

16. 252.222-7002 Compliance With Local Labor Laws (Overseas) JUN 1997 Is there one or more collective bargaining agreements(CBA) in place? If so, will you please provide a copy of each CBA?

There are 6 CBAs. (Metal, Construccion, basura, limpieza, jardinaeria y limpieza Hospital).

17. Classification Requirements. Reference Solicitation Section L Instructions, paragraph 5 (page 31).

Classification requirements (Classifications per Registro Central de Empresas Consultoras o de Servicios) are restricted to the Prime Contractor and not their subcontractors. To our knowledge, only the incumbent Contractor can meet these requirements. Can a Prime Contractor, who is not in a Joint Venture arrangement, use the Classifications of their Subcontractors for specialized trades (i.e. Pest Control) where the volume of the specialized trade work is minimal (i.e. it does not exceed 25% of the total contract volume)? The Subcontractor’s Classifications should be considered relevant and “pass through” the Prime Contractor meeting the solicitation requirements. If not, why not?

18. Proposal Due Date: The solicitation requirements are complex. Since the site visit is not till 25 June, more questions will arise thus more time will be needed for the US Government to answer these questions and for contractors to incorporate their impacts in their proposal. The time available to complete proposals after the 25 June site visit is unrealistic. Will the US Government extend the proposal due date till 30 days after the site visit to allow Contractors more time to complete their proposal?

The U.S. Government has extended the proposal due date to July 6, 2014, 2:00 p.m. Central European Summer Time.

19. Host Nation Labor Law and Employee Transfer Right: According to Spanish labor law, the current contractor’s employees have a right of transfer to the new contractor if the incumbent is unsuccessful.

Accordingly, please provide the “Birthday List” of the contractor’s current employees to include position, date of birth, employment start date, monthly salary, benefits and a copy of any union or employee tariff agreement. This information is needed to calculate labor costs for the positions needed for the performance of the work.

Host Nation Labor Law and Employee Transfer Right: Current Contractor will provide the list as upon individual request.

20. Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). It is unclear which system is required and if this is US Government provided software. Please specify the name, version of required CMMS and if the US Government will provide this software. What are the interface requirements of this CMMS system to other US Government automated systems?

The U.S. Government will provide access as needed.

21. Government Furnished Facilities. Reference Specifications Section 0200000 Management and Administration; paragraph 2.4 Government-Furnished Facilities. It is clear that the US Government will provide space for the Contractor to build/install an administrative facility at the Contractor’s cost.

However, are there any other US Government facilities, such as fenced or secured storage areas, warehouses, shops, parking areas, motor pools, etc., provided for the Contractor’s use on or off base?

No.

22. As some of the Certificates of Classification are very specific (M-1-B “Sanitation, disinfection and pest and rodent control”) is it possible, and more importantly, would it be “compliant” to subcontract this service, appoint the company within our offer as “nominated subcontractor” and include the Certificate of Classification of our nominated subcontractor in our offer?

If it is possible, is there any limit on the % that can be subcontracted?

23. Our potential Joint Venture partner meets Classifications required of contract stated in the solicitation Section L Page 31 5.b. "Offerors shall submit a certified copy of the updated Certificate of Classification with their price proposal." Please clarify if Prime Contractor and/or the Joint Venture is required to obtain separate independent set of Certificates of Classification.

As long as one member of the Joint Venture meets the Classifications required in Section L, then the JV as whole meets the requirement.

24. Could you please clarify the statement regarding what Past Performance is acceptable by our potential joint venture partner-- Specifically, if they performed a relevant for the government of Spain will be considered as acceptable Past Performance?

Joint Venture offerors must include at least one relevant contract for each partner, where each partner performed as the prime contractor by itself or as part of a joint venture. The contracts may be contracts completed only for the U.S. Government.

25. Can a no Spanish firm participate to the solicitation? Specifically, we are an Italian Company which has the equivalent Classification of Registro Oficial de Contratistas, Ministerio de Economia y Hacienda for the Italian Chamber of Commerce and not for the Spanish Government.

26. Are Joint Ventures required to be registered in Spain or can the JV be registered as a US Company?

The Joint Venture can be registered as a U.S. Company.

27. Do both members of a Joint Venture need to submit a certified copy of their updated Certificate of Classification or is it acceptable to have a submission from one member of the JV?

As long as one member of the Joint Venture meets the Classifications required in Section L, then the JV as whole meets the requirement.

28. Can Foreign Nationals be utilized to perform work on this contract?

Work performance shall be in compliance with the solicitation and Spanish Law.

29. Government Purchase Card: Reference 0200000 C Management and Administration, Specification

2.18.1.1. “The Contractor shall possess the capability to accept and perform IDIQ work via an electronic medium with Clients utilizing their Government Purchase Card.” What was the amount of IDIQ activity purchased and for what type of work by the Government using Government Purchase Cards over the last three years?

The breakout between government purchase card use and task order issuance is not available.

30. Pricing of Phase-In: Reference Solicitation, N33191-14-R-1010, Factor 3, Management Approach.

Management Approach requires a Phase-In Plan of not more than 90 days. To what ELIN do the bidders provide their Phase-In pricing?

Phase in pricing should be incorporated into their Base Year Period of Performance ELINs.

31. CMMS: Reference 0200000 C Management and Administration, Specification Item 2.”Direct Entry”.

Please define “direct entry”. Does this mean “manual” data entry of the fields into the Government System’s data fields, or can the Contractor electronically transfer the data to the Government Systems by other Government approved means?

Yes, if other Government approved means are available.

32. Key Personnel: Reference 0200000 C. Management and Administration, Spec Item 2.7.1.2. “The Contractor shall provide an overall site QM and a separate Hospital facilities PM who shall have full authority and responsibility for assuring performance objectives and standards identified in this contract are met”. Please clarify the Government’s expectation in this sentence. It appears the Government is stipulating one overall Site QC Manager, and an additional Project Manager to oversee the hospital operations.

Yes, hospital services require a separate QC Manager.

33. PPI#05: Missing Attachments: Please Provide Attachments J-1502000-23 (Site Maps), J-1700000-04 (Route Maps), J-1503030-04 (Solid Frequency Historical Data) and J-1503030-04 (Solid Waste Site Maps). These files do not appear to be in the RFP workload package.

See Integrated Solid Waste Container Location and Inventory.

34. Service Requests: Reference Attachment J-1502000-20, Number of Service requests. Please confirm the time period that these quantities represent. Request that the Government provide the same breakout by each performance year for current contract. This workload data is needed to calculate our price.

Yes, same breakout by each performance year.

35. Service Requests: Reference Attachment J-1502000-20, Number of Service requests. Please confirm that these quantities represent only Service Orders and that they do not represent any repair work that would be considered IMP activity in this contract.

Yes, quantities represent only service calls.

36. Contract Threshold: Reference Attachment J-1502000-20, Number of Service requests. Please confirm the contract thresholds that are ascribed to these representative service order quantities. Were these quantities subject to the $3,000 and 80 hour threshold?

See 0200000 Management and Administration 2.17.2.4.

37. Missing Information: Reference 1502000 Facility Investment, Specification No 3.3.25.1. The related information indicates that the date of the last certifications was provided in Attachment J-1502000-14. We could not find, please provide certifications dates per boiler.

Certifications are annually.

38. Missing Information: Reference 1502000 Facility Investment, Specification No 3.3.25.2. The related information indicates that the date of the last certifications for VTE is provided in Attachment J-1502000-

14. We could not find, please provide certifications dates per elevator.

Certifications are annually.

39. Plumbing Systems: Reference 1502000 Facility Investment, Specification No 3.3.27, Plumbing Systems.

Performance objective indicates that repair would be performed under the IMP. However Attachment J- 1502000-14 indicates that repair would be provided as Service Calls. Please clarify.

Plumbing systems are IMP, however, after regular hours, repairs will be ordered under service calls.

40. Historical Data: Reference 1502000 Facility Investment, Specification No 3.3 Hospital Integrated

Maintenance Program. The Government indicates it has no historical data on IMP repairs, when it is a contract requirement to input such data into the DMLSS (for the hospital) and the Government Maximo for Facility Investment work. We request that you provide all repair data (Service Call, or IMP) by functional area over the last several contract years, preferably showing number of orders, labor hours by service support function (i.e., electrical, hvac, pest control, plumbing), labor cost, subcontractor cost and material.

This data is critical for the bidders so that they can mitigate contract risks.

This information is not available. The current contract is based on different criteria.

41. Historical Data: Reference 0200000 C Management and Administration, Specification Item 2.18, IDIQ.

Please provide workload history by contract year for the current contract showing a brief description of the Task Orders Ordered and the value of each Task Order so that we can appropriately size our support staff for this effort.

This information is not available. Task order issuance will be in accordance with pre-priced ELINs and maintenance repairs.

42. Historical Data: Reference 0200000 C Management and Administration, Specification Item 2.18.2.1 Please provide the annual expected quantities of task order RFP’s the contractor can reasonably expect in a year – historical quantities will suffice.

This information is not available.

43. Historical Data: Reference Attachment J-1503020-13, Historical Information for Pest Control Trouble Calls. Please provide the quantities of trouble calls for the most recent FYs by month.

44. Historical Data: Reference Attachment J-1502000-15, Family Housing. Please provide the quantities of Change of Occupancies ordered and completed by housing configuration by month for the last three contract performance periods.

Many of the housing units have been vacant and under renovation during last 3 years.

45. Historical Data: Reference Quantity and Type of waste for the Integrated Solid Waste Management and the Regulated Medical Waste. This historical information is needed. Also please provide base population data. This information is essential for identifying the types of waste (medical and non-medical), collection frequencies, and container types.

Container pick up frequency is specified in Section J.

46. Integrated Solid Waste: Clarify capacity of containers required by the Government.

Termite Treatment: Reference Attachment J-0200000-06, on the IQ sheet. Which are 20 Units represented for Termite Treatment?

Container capacity is specified in Section J. Termite treatments are per housing unit.

47. Liquidated Damages: Reference Solicitation paragraph 5252.246-9303 Consequences of Contractor’s

Failure to Perform Required Services. Item (1) of the Procedures states that the Government will assess liquidated damages for administrative costs only. Item (2) of the same Procedures language however states that the Government will assess liquidated damages in the amount of 10 percent of the value of observed defects. Please clarify which one applies to this contract.

The solicitation states, “Such liquidated damages are to compensate the Government for administrative costs and other expenses resulting from the unsatisfactory or non-performed work.”

48. Contract Period of Performance: Reference Solicitation paragraph 5252.217-9301, Total Duration of the

Contract. Item (c) is in contradiction with the statement that an optional extension of 6 months is possible.

If so, the total duration of the contract inclusive of an optional six-month extension should be 66 months, and not 60. Please confirm. (Please see page 24 of the Solicitation document).

The total duration of the contract shall not exceed 60 months in accordance with 5252.217-9301.

49. Since in Spain laboral laws require to assume workers associated with a service even if there is a change in the company who makes the service, we need to evaluate the total costs the list of workers today performing works specified in the tender. Contractor that is now performing services should provide you as usual in tenders this true and reliable information to allow a correct calculation of the costs.

The requested list should contain the following information for each worker:

-Labor agreement -Seniority date -Category within the labor agreement -Type of contract (permanent or temporary) -Monthly salary above that specified in the labor agreement (if any) -Journey percentage (or weekly hours) Host Nation Labor Law and Employee Transfer Right: Current Contractor will provide the list as upon individual request.

50. We need confirmation of the currency for the proposal: Prices must be expressed in dollars or in euros?

Proposals should be priced in U.S. Dollars.

51. Subject: Taxation Reference: Solicitation SECTION I contract clauses incorporated by reference no.s

52.229-6, 252.229-7000, 252.229-7001, and 252.229-7005.

These Clauses refer to all Tax Exemptions that shall apply to this contract and that shall not be considered by the Contractor in the price proposal. We read that for Spain VAT is not included among the exemptions, we therefore understand that VAT shall be included in the price proposal.

Kindly confirm our understanding is correct.

Taxes should be addressed in accordance with the solicitation.

52. Reference is made to Section Band Attachment- J- B-1 - 0200000- J- J- 0200000-06- ELINs.

In the solicitation we can't find, neither in the clauses incorporated by full text nor in the clauses incorporated by reference any provision related to the currency for this contract. We kindly request to know how to proceed.

Proposals should be priced in U.S. Dollars.

53. PWS 0200000 - M&A 2.12.2.10 The Spec references the Rota Base Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.Please provide a copy of subject plan.

Plan will be provide after award.

54. Sec. M 2(b)(1)(i) Relevant Projects are stated to be "USG DoD Base Operations Support Services Contracts…" Will the USG consider further defining (such as contracts performed under NAICS 561210)?

55. Sec. M 2(b)(1)(i) Relevant Projects are stated to be "USG DoD Base Operations Support Services

Contracts…"; In addition, there are four criteria that each PPI must meet in order to be relevant. Are these 4 criteria in addition to being a BOSS contract or are they intended as the definition of what meets a BOSS contract from the USG perspective? Please clarify.

These four criteria are in addition to the requirement that the contracts may be contracts completed only for the U.S. Government.

56. Sec. M 2(b)(1)(i)(4) RFP states that PPQ relevant projects must "Be completed in the past 8 years or is substantially complete at the time of proposal due date." This statement seems to indicate that any contract used which meets the other stated criteria (current execution performance > 1yr; Annual Contract Value > $3M USD), must be 80% complete or completed within the past 8 years. This seems to mean that a 5 yr BOSS contract which exceeds $3M annually that is only in its first year of performance will not meet the stated criteria.

See revised Section M.

57. RFP States that cutoff date for questions is June 29 at 2pm CEST. This date seems to be predicated on the original site visit date. Is this still the intended schedule or does the USG intend on adjusting the proposal due date?

The RFP cutoff date remains unchanged. The U.S. Government has extended the proposal due date to July 6, 2014, 2:00 p.m. Central European Summer Time.

58. PWS 0200000 - M&A Attachment J-0200000-02PWS section lists several instructions and directives.

Please provide a copy of listed instructions, to include the DoD FGS-Spain.

Plan will be provided after award.

59. PWS 0200000 - M&A Attachment J-0200000-03"Contractor Maximo Data Reporting Requirements" lists several references to Attachment J-0200000-05 Attachment J-0200000-05 refers to "IDIQ Disaster Exercise Support Requirements." Is this the correct reference or is there an updated Attachment for Contract Maximo data reporting?

Correct.

60. PWS 0200000 - M&A Attachment J-0200000-04 Paragraph 1(b) states 95% of OHS spills are petroleum products at quantities of up to 500 liters." How many OHS spills occur on average (annually)?

61. PWS 0200000 - M&A Attachment J-0200000-04 Paragraph 1(b) states 95% of OHS spills are petroleum products at quantities of upto 500 liters." Will the USG provide a breakout (by level 0 - B) of the number of OHS spills (please annotate severity, type of spill and spill source)?

No breakout will be provided.

62. PWS 0200000 - M&A Attachment J-0200000-04 Paragraph 1(c) references the NAS Sigonella Spill Prevention and Response Plan. Please provide a copy of NAS Sigonella Spill Prevention and Response Plan.

Plan will be provided after award.

63. PWS 0200000 - M&A Attachment J-0200000-04 Paragraph 3(b) states "spilled materials shall be placed in ADR approved containers no larger than 200-liter drums and shall be transported..." Are ADR approved containers Government Provided?

64. PWS 0200000 - M&A Attachment J-0200000-04 Paragraph 3(b) states "spilled materials shall be placed in ADR approved containers no larger than 200-liter drums and shall be transported..." Is the contractor responsible for disposal costs?

65. PWS 0200000 - M&A Attachment J-0200000-05 Paragraph 2 states the disaster support requirements.

There is no workload data provided. Will the USG provide the estimated duration and frequency?

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

BASIS OF EVALUATION

The U.S. Government (Government) reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contract; to negotiate with offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contract to the offeror submitting the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In addition, if the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

The LPTA process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition because the most advantageous is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price.

An overall non-price factors rating must be at least “ACCEPTABLE” in order to be eligible for award. An “UNACCEPTABLE” rating in any factor results in the overall non-price factors proposal being rated “UNACCEPTABLE” unless corrected through discussions. An overall non-price factors rating of “UNACCEPTABLE” makes a proposal ineligible for award.

1. The solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-price factors:

Factor 1 – Corporate Experience Factor 2 – Past Performance Factor 3 – Management Approach Factor 4 – Safety

The distinction between corporate experience and past performance is corporate experience pertains to the types of work and volume of work completed by a contractor that are comparable to the types of work covered by this requirement, in terms of size, scope and complexity. Past performance pertains to both the relevance of recent efforts and how well a contractor has performed on the contracts.

2. Basis of Evaluation and Submittal Requirements for Price and Each Factor.

The Government intends to evaluate all options and has included the provision FAR 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options (JUL 1990) in the solicitation. In accordance with FAR 52.217-5, evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

i. Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the RFP.

ii. Comparison of proposed prices with the IGCE.

iii. Comparison of proposed prices with available historical information.

iv. Comparison of market survey results.

b. Non-Price / Technical Evaluation Factors:

(1) Factor 1 – Corporate Experience:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

Offerors shall submit three relevant and recent contracts performed by the offeror as a prime contractor or joint venture member. For each project the offeror shall complete the Contract Data Sheet included as Attachment B. All information shall be provided as requested on the form.

For purposes of this evaluation, a relevant project is defined as a United States (US) Government Department of Defense Base Operations support services contract having at least:

1) Two technical specifications other than Technical Specification 0100000 - General Information and Technical Specification 0200000 - Management and Administration listed in this Solicitation's Performance Work Statement, such as (for example only) Technical Specification 1502000 - Facility Investment and Technical Specification 1503010 - Custodial Services. Be advised that a project submitted with only Technical Specification 0100000 - General Information and Technical Specification 0200000 - Management and Administration shall not be considered to demonstrate relevant corporate experience.

2) One year of contract performance completed;

3) A contract value of $3,000,000 US Dollars or greater per year; and

4) Be performed in the past eight years from the proposal due date.

Joint Venture offerors must include at least one relevant contract for each partner, where each partner performed as the prime contractor by itself or as part of a joint venture.

IMPORTANT: It is the offeror’s responsibility to clearly explain and demonstrate to the Government how its work experience, and the experience of each teaming partner (if applicable) in each submitted project is relevant to the performance work statement in this solicitation. If the offeror does not clearly explain how its experience(s) are relevant to the contract requirements in this specification, the Government may interpret that to mean that the submitted contract experience is not relevant.

The contracts may be contracts completed only for the U.S. Government. Each contract submission shall not exceed two 8.5” x 11” or equivalent page sizes, single-sided, 11 point font, in addition to the Contract Data Sheet, Attachment B.

To receive an acceptable rating for this factor each of the three contracts submitted for this factor shall::

� Demonstrate corporate experience in two of the technical specifications in the Performance Work Statement excluding 0100000 – General Information, and 0200000 – Management and Administration for each contract.

� Be performed for at least one year.

� Have a contract value of $3,000,000 USD or greater per year (or the equivalent foreign currency.)

� Be completed in the past eight years from the proposal due date, or is substantially complete (80% in terms of schedule) at the time of proposal due date.

(2) Factor 2 – Past Performance:

The Offeror shall submit three past performance questionnaires or CPARS evaluations for the same three contracts submitted for Factor 1, Corporate Experience. If there is not a completed CPARS evaluation, the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), Attachment A, included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror or its team to submit to the client for each project the offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 1, Corporate Experience. An offeror shall not submit a PPQ when a completed CPARS is available.

If a CPARS evaluation is not available, ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed PPQs should be submitted with your proposal. If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ (Attachment A), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact, Kathryn Balonek, via email at kathryn.balonek@eu.navy.mil prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs or CPARS previously submitted for other RFPs.

However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

The degree to which past performance evaluations and all other past performance information reviewed by the Government (e.g., PPIRS, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), performance recognition documents, and information obtained from any other source) reflect a trend of satisfactory performance considering:

- A pattern of successful completion of tasks;

- A pattern of deliverables that are timely and of good quality;

- A pattern of cooperativeness and teamwork with the Government at all levels (task managers, contracting officers, auditors, etc.);

- Recency of tasks that are identical to, similar to, or related to the task at hand.

To be rated acceptable, all three of the past performance ratings must be satisfactory or higher. Any one rating of marginal or lower will give the offeror an unacceptable rating for this factor. Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably in past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

(3) Factor 3 – Management Approach:

The offeror shall clearly demonstrate its understanding of current industry standards, policies, procedures, and processes utilized in accomplishing the complexity and magnitude of service requirements set forth in the performance objectives and standards of the Performance Work Statement. The offeror shall address each of the following components separately:

1) Describe staffing levels and contract effort for the base year. The offeror must provide an organizational chart that demonstrates the total effort to include the prime contractor and all subcontractors for the base period for all technical specifications.

2) Subcontracting Plan – Provide a plan describing how you will manage subcontractor(s) across all technical specifications.

3) Describe your general strategy to accomplish the performance requirements to achieve performance objectives. Offerors must address at the minimum: 1) the requirement for Facilities Investment and 2) provide a summary for the training and certification requirements for the facility investment personnel.

4) Quality Control Management – Provide a summary “Quality Control Plan” that describes the methods to be used to document, measure, and control and improve the quality processes. The summary must also describe the plan for training employees in the quality processes.

5) Provide a phase-in plan limited to no more than 90 calendar days. The plan shall include: (a) a schedule for all key events; (b) personnel actions and responsibilities regarding employees at all levels; (c) acquisition, delivery, storage, inventory and disposal of equipment, working stock, and materials (to include inbound items as applicable).

The management approach submittal shall be limited to ten single sided 8-1/2” x 11” or equivalent page sizes, 11 point font, not including the organization chart in Item 1 and the schedule in Item 5(a)).

To receive an acceptable rating, the offeror’s management approach must demonstrate and provide the information required in the elements one through five as listed in the solicitation submittal requirements above. Offerors that do not demonstrate and provide the information required in all five elements will be rated unacceptable.

(4) Factor 4 – Safety:

The Offeror shall submit a narrative addressing the following information: (For a partnership or joint venture, the following shall address each contractor who is part of the partnership or joint venture; only one safety narrative is required.)

(a) Technical Approach for Safety:

Describe the offeror’s technical approach to safety for its employees as well as the plan that the offeror will implement to evaluate and measure safety performance of potential subcontractors, as a part of the selection process for all levels of subcontractors. The safety narrative shall be limited to two single sided 8-1/2” x 11” or equivalent page sizes, 11 point font.

The Government is seeking to determine if the offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to safety and that the offeror plans to properly manage and implement safety procedures for itself and its subcontractors. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s overall safety record and the Offeror’s plan to select and monitor subcontractors. The Government’s sources of information for evaluating safety may include, but are not limited to, Government agencies, OSHA, Contractor Incident Reporting System (CIRS) databases, and other related resources. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete safety information regarding these submittal requirements rests with the Offeror. The evaluation will collectively consider the following:

-Offeror’s technical approach to safety -Other sources of information available to the Government

(a) Offeror’s technical approach to safety narrative:

The Government will evaluate the narrative to determine the degree to which subcontractor safety performance will be considered in the selection of all levels of subcontractors on the upcoming project.

The offeror’s technical approach to safety narrative will be evaluated as acceptable if the following criteria are addressed in the narrative:

a. A comprehensive approach to safety for its employees.

b. An implementation plan to evaluate and measure safety performance of potential subcontractors.
