The required response date/time has changed from 30-Jan-2018 10:00 AM to 06-Feb-2018 10:00 AM.

SECTION B - SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES

The following have been modified:

NOTES

NOTES A, B AND C

NOTE A: FIXED SHIP REPAIR LABOR AND MATERIAL BURDEN RATES FOR GROWTH AND NEW

WORK

SCHEDULE OF PRICES / RATES: SHIP REPAIR LABOR RATE (FULLY BURDENED)

1. The Contractor’s fully burdened man-hour rate as proposed in Attachment J-14 and as defined in paragraph 3 below will be used for negotiating all growth and new work to be performed under this contract. The contractor agrees that the number of man hours included in its price proposal for contract modifications 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 including the following functions:

Abrasive cleaning/blasting Fire Watch Welding Burning Brazing Carpentry Machinists (inside and outside) Electrical Work Electronic Work Engineering Design Support Lagging Ship-fitting Boiler-making Painting Sheet-metal Work Pipefitting Pipe Welding Rigging General Labor Staging/Scaffolding Diesel Mechanics

2. The fully burdened man-hour rate proposed by the contractor in Attachment J-14 shall include those support functions (whether charged directly or indirectly by the offeror’s accounting systems) which are herein defined as support for production functions. Support functions shall be considered to be included in the offeror’s fully burdened ship repair labor rate for direct production man hours. Labor hours for the below support functions shall not be separately proposed. Support functions include those listed below and other non-production labor:

Testing Provisioning and Logistics Quality Assurance Quality Control Execution Planning Scheduling Cleaning (except tank cleaning) Supervision Security Surveying Administration Transportation Purchasing Staff Lofting Other indirect support Material handling & Warehousing Safety/Environmental

3. The fully burdened ship repair labor rate is a fixed hourly rate that includes all wages, overhead, all other indirect costs, general and administrative expenses, Facilities Capital Cost of Money (FCCOM) and profit. The fully burdened ship repair labor rate represents a blended rate including labor transferred between divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates of the contractor under a common control.

4. 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 burdened man-hour rate and not separately priced.

5. Physical materials are goods that become an integral part of the repaired vessel in the course of the repair, such as equipment, replacement steel, pipes, paint, and fasteners. The material burden rates apply to physical materials but not to consumable materials. The material burden rate will be applied to the actual cost of the physical material.

Actual cost does not include handling charges, general and administrative cost, overhead, profit, or any other indirect cost.

6. For contract changes involving subcontractors, subcontractor quotes will be treated as Other Direct Costs (ODCs) and will be subject to the contract material burden rate shown in paragraph (7) below. Subcontractor quotes must be competitively acquired and submitted with the contractor’s Change Order Price Analysis (COPA) in response to a Request for Contract Change (RCC) issued by the Contracting Officer. At no time will the proposed total to be performed by the prime contractor combined with subcontractor quote, material quote, and applicable burdens be allowed to cost more than it would have, had the prime contractor directly provided all material and labor. The proposed total pricing restriction addressed in the preceding sentence does not apply in any case where the work is required to be performed by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Government directed subcontractors.

7. The Contactor’s fully burdened man-hour rate and material burden rate shall be shown on Attachment J-14, Pricing Workbook. Those fixed rates shall be used for negotiating growth and new work during the entire availability regardless of how many labor hours and material dollars are procured and negotiated.

8. If the Contracting Officer determines an overall schedule delay has occurred as a result of Government caused delay, the Government shall pay the Contractor a standard rate per day for maintaining overall project management for the availability as outlined in applicable NAVSEA Standard Items (NSI) and contract requirements. This rate shall be used by the Contractor to retain the resources needed to meet critical program support functions. Those functions include but are not limited to the following program support functions: project management, scheduling, testing, logistics, quality assurance, purchasing, material procurement, and safety. Contactor’s fully burdened daily rate shall be shown on Attachment J-14, Pricing Workbook. Those rates shall be used for negotiating during the entire availability regardless of how many days are procured and negotiated.

NOTE B – GROWTH RESERVATION

The growth reservation manhours and material dollar requirements listed in the individual Work Items are a part of this contract under the original solicitation and award. The manhour reservation shall include both prime contractor and subcontractor efforts. The balance of hours and material remaining in the reservation items after negotiations have concluded, and when it is evident that no additional work will be tasked, is subject to a decrease change order.

Only actual production manhours negotiated will be considered towards the contractor’s obligation to provide the defined reservation manhour effort. While supervision, quality assurance, and other nonproductive labor should be included in the pricing for reservation items in the original bid, they shall not count towards satisfying the contractor’s obligation to provide reserved manhours. The production manhour reservation shall not include any allowance for technical representatives or for any other Government directed source unless specifically addressed in the individual Work Item. Material dollars shall be based on estimated costs to the Contractor of acquiring the materials provided. Material dollars may include freight or duties which would be reflected on the invoice for the material. The Contractor shall not be allowed to add material handling charges, overhead (including G&A), or profit into the actual cost of materials expended toward the reservation. The information received in the consolidated final report required by Work Item 042-11-001 paragraph 3.6 will be used by the Contracting Officer in the issuance of a contract modification, which will be a final settlement for reservation Work Items. The reservations listed in the individual Work Items are not to be considered Time and Material or a Level of Effort. Once the scope of work for a task has been identified and a mutually agreeable number of manhours or materials has been agreed to, neither party will be entitled to an adjustment based on actual manhours or material dollars required. Each task shall receive approval by the Navy Project Manager and the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO).

NOTE C – FRONT LOAD WORK ITEMS

The work package (Attachment J-1) contains individual Work Items that may contain “Front Loaded” repair work.

Front Loaded repair work is defined as an individual Work Item that contains a maximized scope of work that may not be required to the extent/quantity noted in the individual Work Item and will be identified in paragraph 3 of the individual Work Item. Such unaccomplished work would therefore be subject to descope and recoupment. The contractor shall be required by SUPERVISOR to report the amount of work accomplished by Work Item via Condition Found Report (CFR) which will be used to determine the net amount of work to descope and recoup.

The Contractor shall identify and submit to the Government a list of all work requiring front load actions by the Government within the first 50% of the ship’s time on dock. The Contractor shall include the date and CFR number associated with each action.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

SECTION M

1.0 GENERAL

The Government intends to award a single Firm Fixed-Price contract to the offeror whose proposal represents the Best Value to the Government after evaluation in accordance with the evaluation factors below.

Offerors are advised that the Government intends to make award on the basis of initial proposals without conducting discussions with Offerors, but reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary (see FAR 52.215-1(f)(4)). Therefore, each initial offer should contain the Offerors best terms from a price, technical and past performance standpoint. Statements and representations made in the Offerors proposal may be subject to verification by other sources or through an onsite survey by Navy evaluators.

Offerors are advised that except for past performance information, the Government will not evaluate any proposal information not contained within the body of the proposal. Letters of transmittal and/or cover letters that forward the proposal to the Government are not considered part of the body of the proposal.

2.0 BASIS OF AWARD

The evaluation of proposals submitted in response to this solicitation will be conducted on a Best Value basis using Source Selection Trade-Off Procedures described in FAR 15.101-1.

As such, the Source Selection Authority (SSA) will weigh the merits of the Non-Price Factors against the evaluated Price in arriving at the final Source Selection Decision. As part of the Best Value determination, the relative strengths/weaknesses and risks of each Offerors proposal in the Non-Price Factor as well as the total evaluated Price shall be considered in selecting the offer which is most advantageous and represents the Best Value to the Government. This determination may result in an award that is not necessarily the offeror with the lowest evaluated Price.

A best value tradeoff process will be used for the award of this contract. During the best value tradeoff process the Government may find that it is in its best interest to award to other than the lowest priced proposal or other than the highest technically rated offeror. The Government will make a best value award, taking into consideration both technical and price factors. The best value award will be made in accordance with the established criteria herein.

Offerors who are other than Small Businesses are required to submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan, as described in HQ L-2-0009 that addresses this requirement. This is in addition to the Small Business Participation Plan. Offers from Small Business concerns must demonstrate that no single subcontractor will perform more than the Small Business Prime. Unlike small business set-asides which require the small business prime to perform at least 50% of the proposed effort, this solicitation is not reserved for small business and therefore the 50% rule does not apply, however no subcontractor can perform a greater amount of the effort than the Prime.

In order to make a Best Value determination, the Government will evaluate the non-price factors and the offerors total evaluated price as described in FAR 15.404. The factors are:

Non- Price Factors – listed in descending order of importance Factor 1: Eligibility Factor Factor 2: Management Capabilities

Sub-factors are equally weighted Factor 3: Schedule Integration Factor 4: Hybrid Electric Drive (HED) Capabilities Factor 5: Past Performance

Price Factor Factor 6: Price Factor

All evaluation factors other than price, when combined are significantly more important than price. The following order of importance is:

Factor 1 is required to be satisfied to be considered Technically Acceptable. No other Factor will be rated if Factor 1 is not met.

Factor 2 is more important than Factor 3.

Factor 3 is more important that Factor 4.

Factor 4 is more important that Factor 5.

Factor 5 is least important.

EVALUATION FACTORS

Factors will be evaluated as stated below.

Factor 1: Eligibility

a. Only Offerors that provide an Acceptable MSRA or ABR per Section L or provide an Acceptable MSRA/ABR Equivalency requirement per Section L will be considered eligible.

b. Only Offerors that provide ability to obtain insurance in the amounts required in Attachment J-21 per Section L will be considered eligible. If Insurance is not obtained within 45 days of award, the contract will be voided.

This factor will be rated as acceptable/unacceptable and if the proposal is not rated as acceptable in this factor it will not be evaluated further.

Factor 2: Management Capability

The objective of this factor is to gauge the offerors management and organizational capabilities as a prime contractor for completing the complex ship repair work required in response to this solicitation. The offerors proposal will be evaluated to determine the Offerors management abilities as they pertain to planning and executing USS SAMPSON (DDG-102) FY18 DSRA. Each of the three sub-factors will be rated independently.

The Government’s evaluation will utilize Tables 2 and 3 to rate each subfactor, and those ratings combined will determine the overall Factor 2 rating.

Sub-Factor 2a – Management Capabilities:

The overall management team plan will be evaluated on their written plan demonstrating the ability to provide a management team that provides overall project management functions. Offerors that demonstrate use of NAVSEA Standard Item Tools and Processes will be rated higher.

Sub-Factor 2b – Sub-Contract Management The Government will evaluate the proposed Small Business Participation approach in conjunction with the proposed Small Business participation percentage. The proposed Small Business participation percentage must be supported by the proposed Small Business participation approach. Failure to support a proposed Small Business participation percentage will result in a lower rating than one where a Small Business percentage that is supported.

The Government will evaluate the Small Business Participation in the following areas:

(a) The extent of first-tier small business participation which the Offeror credibly proposes to subcontract with U.S. small business (SB) concerns throughout the performance of this contract. For the purpose of this evaluation, the extent of Offeror (or joint venture partner/teaming arrangement) participation in proposed contract performance, where the Offeror is a U.S. small business concern for the applicable NAICS code and size standard for this procurement will also be considered small business participation.

(b) The extent for which the proposal identified challenging goals for participation by U.S. small business concerns and the adequacy of the rationale that supports those goals. The extent of participation of such concerns will be evaluated in terms of the percentage of the Offeror’s total contract value.

(c) As assessment of the feasibility and adequacy of the approach proposed to the proposed Small Business participation percentage.

Offerors will be evaluated on their plan to perform Sub-Contractor Management as follows:

1. Offerors must outline how they plan to select and integrate a minimum of three Sub-Contractors into the project. Offerors that demonstrate a detailed vetting plan to select sub-contractors and split work scope based on cost efficiencies will be rated higher.

2. Offerors will be evaluated on their plan to manage and document the progress of each sub-contractor to ensure completion of all assigned work. Offerors that provide project management tools and processes to manage more than 3 Sub-Contractors will be rater as higher.

3. Offerors will be evaluated on their plan to formally address performance issues with their subcontractors.

A proposal that demonstrates a range of multiple Courses of Action for addressing Sub Contractor deficiencies will be rated higher.

Sub-Factor 2c – Navy Maintenance Database (NMD) Offerors will be evaluated on the quality of their plan and experience level of their NMD staff. Offerors with demonstrated proficiency in NMD will be rated higher. Also, a proposal that addresses NMD staffing requirements as a function of program requirements during various phases of the project will be rated higher.

Factor 3: Schedule Integration The objective of this factor is to evaluate the offerors response to the Section L requirement and to assess the offerors understanding and approach of what is required to successfully act as the Lead Maintenance Activity (LMA) and integrate, schedule, and complete the highly complex USS SAMPSON (DDG-102) FY 18 DSRA maintenance and modernization requirements. For this factor the Government’s evaluation will utilize Tables 2 &3 to develop a combined rating that will determine the Factor 3 rating.

a. The Offeror’s Overall Schedule Integration Plan will be evaluated on their ability to outline their schedule development process including the creation, integration of Government sponsored AIT’s, Fleet Maintenance Activity, and Ship’s Force Work, and updating through certification and completion. A plan that outlines specific processes and tools to be used to support schedule management (such as Work Breakdown Structures and Resource Loading) will be rated higher. Also, a plan that details a certification management process will be rated higher.

b. The Offeror’s High Level Integrated Production Schedule should demonstrate an understanding of the overall scope of work on the project. The GANTT chart should reflect the offerors plan to integrate and schedule all work based on key events and milestones. Minimum requirements include all work is scheduled to complete by the required key event and milestones and listed in Attachment J-3 and J-4 of the solicitation. A higher grade may be given to a more detailed and accurate Gantt chart with attention to start and stop dates of work items that support the Key Events. Furthermore, to the extent that AIT work is integrated (with ties) to contractor work will be rated higher.

c. The Offeror’s Detailed Integrated Production Schedule will be evaluated on their ability to develop an accurate integrated schedule at the Work Item Activity Level that will support Milestone and Key Event management for 4 specific work items. Offerors that show logical scheduling ties between the work items will be rated higher.

Detailed integrated schedules which delineate the critical path and the associated constraints (i.e. resources, space restrictions, etc.) will be rated higher.

Factor 4: Hybrid Electric Drive (HED) Capabilities The objective of this factor is to evaluate the offerors response to the Section L requirements for this factor in order to assess the offerors understanding of what is required to successfully support the highly complex Ship Alt DDG51- 82710K Hybrid Electric Drive (HED) requirements.

The Offeror’s response will be evaluated on their ability to identify major risks associated with the complex alteration. A plan that identifies specific execution risks and mitigations, such as welding of HY-80 Steel on the Main Reduction Gear Sub Base to prevent cracking, will be rated higher. Also, plans that identify any challenges to the critical path to the base work as a result of alteration support work will be rated higher.

Factor 5: Past Performance The Government will measure how well an offeror has performed on relevant contracts in the past as an indicator of the offerors probability of meeting the solicitation requirements and an indicator of the successful performance on the current requirement.

The Contractor is authorized but not required to submit a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) for up to five projects that meet the criteria or would benefit from more information than PPIRS would provide. The PPQ form is provided as Attachment J-15 (PPQ). The submission of the PPQ will not guarantee a higher rating.

To develop the overall rating, the Government’s evaluation will utilize Table 4 Past Performance Relevancy Ratings and Table 5 Performance Confidence Assessments that take into account recent and relevant contract information to the requirements of this solicitation as contained in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Report System (eSRS), as well as any other sources reasonably available to the Government to include PPQs if provided. For purposes of this Factor, the following definitions apply:

“Recent” is defined as a contract in-progress or completed within the last three (3) years as of the date of the initial solicitation. If the offeror has not completed up to five (5) contracts within the last three (3) years as of the date of the initial solicitation, information on recent and relevant subcontracts and/or commercial contracts may be submitted.

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

- Scope: Experience in the areas defined in the Solicitation Section C Statement of Work.

- Magnitude: The measure of the similarity of the volume, dollar value and/or duration of the work actually performed under the offerors submitted contracts to the requirements of this solicitation.

- 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 requirements of this solicitation. For complexity, not only will the tasks performed by the offeror be considered, but also the offerors ability to coordinate tasks (e.g., concurrent performance requirements).

For all offerors, the Government will consider historical compliance with the requirements of FAR Part 52.219-8 (Utilization of Small Business Concerns).

Assessment of past performance will be a subjective assessment based on consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. The Government is seeking to determine whether the offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to customer satisfaction and timely delivery of quality goods and services at fair and reasonable prices.

In accordance with FAR 15.305(a) (2) (iv), an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. If an offeror lacks relevant past performance information, the evaluators will assign a Neutral rating.

In terms of Acceptable / Unacceptable, a Neutral rating is considered Acceptable.

Factor 6: Price The Government will analyze price proposals in accordance with FAR 15.404 using the information contained in Attachment J-14 to make the best value determination based on an Offeror’s Total Evaluated Price (TEP). The Government will review the offerors CLIN and individual Work Item prices for the USS SAMPSON (DDG-102) FY 18 DSRA to identify any significant disparities that may indicate a lack of understanding of contract requirements. A price proposal that is found unreasonable may be rejected.

The Growth numbers are based on historical data and reflect the typical amount of growth and new work for an average DSRA on a DDG 51 class ship. Offerors are advised that the number of 35,000 labor man-hours and $750,000 provided in Attachment J-14 are for evaluation purposes only. The proposed labor and material burden rates provided in the accepted Offer will be set as fixed rates for the entire availability regardless of how many hours and how much material are procured.

The proposed change rates provided in the accepted Offer will be set as fixed rates for the entire availability regardless of how many days are procured. Offerors are advised that the number of 30 days provided in Attachment J-14 are for evaluation purposes only.

The following definition of Total Price (TP) and Total Evaluated Price (TEP) describes how this factor will be evaluated. Change Rate (CR) and Option Items (OI) will be included in the TEP.

TP = The Offeror’s Price for All Work Items

TP is equal to the total of all individual Work Item prices.

TP is the amount the Offeror shall enter as “amount” for CLIN 0001 in Section B.

In the event an Offer is accepted, TP will be equal to the contract award amount

CR = The Offeror’s Price for a defined volume of Growth and New Work by including labor and material burden rates.

Per Attachment J-14, the projected Growth is :

35,000 labor man-hours $750,000 of material

CR = ((35,000 man-hours) x (Offerors Hourly Rate)) + (($750,000) x (Offerors Material Burden Rate as a percentage))

GDCR = (30 days) x (Daily Rate)

OI = The Offeror’s Price for execution of the Option Item for Support for…
