SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

SECTION L INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This solicitation will result in the award of a multiple award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts.

The Government anticipates awarding a minimum of two (2) up to a maximum of eight (8) competitive firm fixed price (FFP) IDIQ contracts, which will be issued to meet this requirement for preservation and associated structural repairs necessary to support the preservation process. This will be through a best value lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection process as described in FAR 15.101-2.

Delivery orders will be issued off of these contracts for the accomplishment of preservation for submarines (SSN, SSBN, and SSGN Class), aircraft carriers (CVN Class), and other surface vessels home ported and visiting PSNS&IMF, Bremerton, WA (Controlled Industrial Area); Naval Base Kitsap, Bremerton, WA; Naval Base Kitsap, Bangor, WA (Waterfront Restricted Area); Naval Station Everett, WA; and other locations under the AOR of PSNS&IMF.. Delivery orders will be non-competitively, competitively awarded after exclusion of sources (small business set aside), or competitively awarded. Small business set asides shall be all orders of a non-complex nature.

Orders that contain highly complex requirements may be opened up to all IDIQ contract holders. Determination of highly complex requirements will be made by the PCO. Two or more small business IDIQ holders must express intent of submitting a proposal in writing for all potential small business set aside orders. Small business set aside orders shall be reclassified as either non-competitively or competitively awarded orders should less than two small business IDIQ holders express intent of submitting a proposal.

All inquiries shall be made in writing via attachment J-4 RFP Question/Response Matrix and directed to Tim Smart, Contract Specialist, at timothy.smart@navy.mil and Cynthia Tice, Contracting Officer, at cynthia.tice@navy.mil. To ensure the Government is able to adequately address and respond to offeror requests for information (RFIs) via amendment, it is requested questions be submitted no later than 21 March, 2018. The Navy reserves the right to not answer any requests received after 21 March, 2018 at 2:00 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST). Furthermore, offerors should note that the proposal due date will not be extended solely on the basis of requests received after 21 March, 2018. RFIs should reference this solicitation, N4523A18R0826, and/or specification page and paragraph number.

2.0 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SUBMISSION OF OFFERS

The proposals submitted in response to the solicitation will be conducted utilizing Best Value – LPTA Source Selection Procedures. To be eligible for award, Offerors shall meet the following criteria:

1) Obtain a technical proposal rating of Acceptable

2) Obtain a past performance rating of Acceptable

3) Offer a notional package price determined fair and reasonable by the Contracting Officer

4) Offer a subcontracting plan in accordance with FAR Part 19.704 (applicable to large businesses only)

5) Be determined responsible under FAR Part 9.104

An unacceptable rating in any of the basis of award requirements listed above renders an offeror’s proposal ineligible for award. If a technical proposal receives an unacceptable rating, then the Government may not evaluate the corresponding past performance proposal or price proposal. Award will be made to up to eight (8) LPTA offerors. Four (4) LPTA awards are reserved for small businesses. Small business proposals in excess of the set aside will be considered for the remaining full and open awards.

Proposal submissions shall only be accepted electronically. Offerors must submit one electronic copy of their proposal, via the Safe Access File Exchange (SAFE) file transfer tool.

Electronic files date-stamped (Central Standard Time) in the SAFE tool after the closing deadline will not be considered as part of the proposal. The government will convert all times recorded in SAFE in Central Standard Time to Pacific Standard Time for the purposes of evaluating timeliness. If any portion of the proposal is unreadable or contains corrupted files, re-submission of such portions shall be handled IAW FAR 15.207(c). IAW FAR 15.208(b)(1)(i), it is highly recommended that offerors upload and transmit their proposal via SAFE at least twenty four (24) hours prior to the solicitation closing deadline as well as read and become familiar with the SAFE user guide located at https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/safe/Guide.aspx.

3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

Pre-Proposal Teleconference. There will be a pre-proposal teleconference conducted to provide clarifications, and/or explanations on the solicitation, source selection process, and other items applicable to potential offerors.

The pre-proposal teleconference will be held on TUESDAY 13 MAR 2018 It is expected to run approximately two hours or less, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST.

All prospective offerors are urged to attend this teleconference. In order to make the teleconference as productive as possible, offerors are requested to submit all questions in writing via attachment J-4 RFP Question-Response Matrix to the Contract Specialists, timothy.smart@navy.mil and declan.jarry@navy.mil no later than 10:00 AM PST, 12

MAR, 2018.

Failure of a prospective offeror to submit questions or to attend the teleconference will be construed to mean that the offeror fully understands all requirements of the solicitation. Prospective offerors are advised that the pre-proposal teleconference will be held for the purpose of explaining the on-ramping process, requirements and terms and conditions in this solicitation and answering any questions relative to this procurement. All questions submitted before or during the teleconference, except for limited clarification questions, shall be recorded and answers will be published to FedBizOpps as a solicitation amendment. All prospective offerors are advised that at the conclusion of the conference, unless this solicitation is amended in writing, it will remain unchanged. If an amendment is issued, normal procedures relating to the acknowledgement and receipt of any such amendment shall be applicable. In no event will failure to attend the pre-proposal teleconference constitute grounds for a claim after award of the contract.

The offeror shall also notify the Contract Specialist in writing of the names of those company officials who will attend the conference no later than 2:00 PM PST, 9 MAR, 2018. Offerors shall include the company name, CAGE code, and solicitation number in the subject line of the email. Upon receipt of this information, the Contract Specialist will confirm receipt and provide the dial in instructions for the teleconference and the PowerPoint read-ahead slides.

Alteration of Solicitation: Offerors shall respond to the solicitation as posted. Offerors who alter the solicitation (except for completing appropriate “fill-in” blocks and certifications) may be considered non-responsive and thus ineligible for award.

Proposal Information: Offerors shall not presume the Government has knowledge outside of information provided in the proposal. Additionally, offerors are advised that statements such as: “the offeror understands”, “the Offeror has a long history of outstanding support”, “standard procedures shall be used”, “well known techniques shall be employed”, or any paraphrasing of the solicitation, shall be considered inadequate to demonstrate experience, knowledge of, or compliance with solicitation requirements. Offerors are encouraged to provide specific, concise and verifiable information to validate all assertions. In evaluating an offeror’s technical proposal, the Government may consider information (other than price) provided with the offeror’s pricing proposal. Similarly, in evaluating an offeror’s price proposal, the Government may consider information provided with the offeror’s technical proposal.

Any inconsistency, whether real or apparent, between projected performance and price, must be explained in detail by the offeror. The burden of demonstrating technical merit and realism rests with the offeror.

Amendments: The Government may revise the solicitation at any time by means of an amendment. It is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure it is accessing the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website to view potential amendments and procurement notifications for this solicitation.

Teaming Arrangements: Proposals must be submitted by one (1) prime contractor. An Offeror may be listed as a subcontractor in multiple proposals but may only submit one (1) proposal as a prime contractor with a unique Commercial and Government Entity code (CAGE) and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). To be evaluated as a Joint Venture (JV), offerors must provide a notarized agreement (with the price proposal) delineating roles and responsibilities for all proposed work.

Confidential Information: The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and its amendments have resulted in an increasing number of requests from outside the Government for copies of contract qualifications and proposals submitted to federal agencies. If an Offeror’s submissions contain information that he/she believes should be withheld from such requestors under FOIA on the grounds that they contain “trade secrets and commercial or financial information” [5 USC§552(b)(4)], the Offeror should mark its submissions in the following manner:

The following notice should be placed on the title page: “Some parts of this document, as identified on individual pages, are considered by the submitter to be privileged or confidential trade secrets or commercial or financial information not subject to mandatory disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. Material considered privileged or confidential on such grounds is contained on page(s) _______.”

Each individual item considered privileged or confidential under FOIA should be marked with the following notice: “The data or information is considered confidential or privileged, and is not subject to mandatory disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.”

4.0 PROPOSAL FORMAT

To facilitate efficiency and consistency in proposal evaluation the following is mandatory. Proposals which do not follow this direction may be rejected as non-responsive and thus ineligible for award.

Hard Copy Proposals: All pages shall be double-sided on 8.5 x 11 inch paper with a one-inch margin. The text used shall be Times New Roman with a minimum font size of 12-point. Each side of the page will count as one “page”.
