SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION A - SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 07-Jan-2019 02:00 PM to 17-Jan-

2019 02:00 PM.

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR OFFERORS

1. GENERAL:

a. Instructions:

1. Offerors shall submit their proposals in accordance with the following preparation instructions. The

Government will consider any failure on the part of an offeror to comply with these instructions to be an indication of the quality of performance it can expect during contract performance. Therefore, the Government encourages offerors to contact the contracting officer (KO), and contract specialist in writing in order to request an explanation of any aspect of these instructions.

2. A proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements but rather provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror meets these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the

Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror’s proposal.

3. If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the KO in writing with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the offeror is asking the KO to consider as related to the omission or error.

4. Relationship between Instructions and Evaluation: Your attention is directed to the functional relationship between Sections L and M of this solicitation. Section L provides information for the purpose of organizing the proposal and is not intended to be all inclusive. Section M describes evaluation factors for award. Since the

Government evaluation of proposals will cover areas identified in section M, proposals should address all such areas of evaluation.

5. ALL INQUIRIES shall be made via email and directed to Scott Kearsley, contract specialist, and Gary

Binder, contracting officer, at Scott.kearsley@navy.mil and gary.binder@navy.mil. To ensure the Government is able to adequately address and respond to offeror requests for clarification (RFCs) via amendment if applicable, it is requested questions be submitted no later than 20 DECEMBER 2018 at 2:00 pm Pacific

Standard Time (PST). The government reserves the right to not answer any questions received after 20

DECEMBER 2018 at 2:00 pm PST. Furthermore, offerors should note that the proposal due date will not be extended solely on the basis of questions received. RFCs shall reference the solicitation and specification page and paragraph number and be submitted on a request for clarification form (Attachment J-3) provided with this solicitation. A request via clarification form (Attachment J-3) shall be submitted for each separate question.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

EVALUATION FACTORS

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

1. GENERAL:

The Government intends to award a single, firm fixed price contract to the responsible offeror (as defined in FAR Part 9.104) on the basis of the lowest evaluated priced proposal meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for the below listed factors and sub-factors in accordance with the lowest price technically acceptable

(LPTA) source selection process outlined in FAR 15.101-2. This section contains specific evaluation factors for award of a contract pursuant to this solicitation.

Offeror proposals shall be in the format prescribed by, and shall contain a response to, each of the submission requirements identified in Section L of this solicitation.

2. BASIS FOR AWARD AND EVALUATION FACTORS.

In selecting the best overall offer, the following factors will be considered: (1) technical capabilities, (2) past performance, and (3) price. The Offeror must be determined to have acceptable technical and past performance before further consideration will be given; that is, selection of the contractor is to be based on the establishment of minimum requirements to be evaluated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis. Proposals are evaluated for acceptability, but not ranked using the non-price factors.

To be eligible for award, Offerors proposals must be found acceptable in each of the following factors/sub factors:

Factor Sub factor Description Adjectival Rating

1 Technical Capabilities Acceptable /Unacceptable

1.1 Corporate Experience Acceptable /Unacceptable

1.2 Certifications Acceptable /Unacceptable

1.3 Facility Acceptable /Unacceptable

2 Past Performance Acceptable /Unacceptable

3 Price Not Adjectivally Rated

An unacceptable rating in any non-price factor or sub-factor shall render an offeror’s proposal ineligible for award. If a technical proposal receives an unacceptable rating, then the Government reserves the right to not evaluate the corresponding past performance proposal or price proposal.

a. Factor 1- Technical Capability.

The acceptability/non-acceptability for this factor is based on receiving an acceptable rating on all of the following sub-factors:

Evaluated Sub-factor Section L Submission Reference

Subfactor 1.1, Corporate Experience:

The prospective offeror must demonstrate specific experience providing marine preservation services of the complexity similar to or exceeding the scope identified in section 1.2 of the statement of work (SOW) through a narrative of three (3) contracts within the last three (3) years.

Offerors shall provide sufficient explanation that the experience provided demonstrate that the offeror has the necessary management, technical personnel and material resources available to successfully complete marine vessel preservation services.

Volume I

Subfactor 1.2, Certifications:

The prospective offeror has provided current certificates identifying all personnel certified as paint inspectors in accordance with NAVSEA Basic Paint Inspector

(NBPI), NACE International Coatings Inspector or

SSPC Protective Coating Inspector programs, as required for accomplishing the requirements of the statement of work.

Volume I

Subfactor 1.3, Facility:

The offeror has identified that the facility to be used has adequate lifting and operational capacity to safely dock the vessel per the characteristics and requirements set forth in the statement of work (SOW). An on-site survey conducted by the Government Docking Observer (GDO)

Volume I may be required to validate the facility’s capability.

To facilitate proper government oversight, the facility shall be located in the Puget Sound, WA region. For this procurement, the Puget Sound, WA region is defined as the West Coast of the continental US, starting from

Olympia, WA and extending northward to Bellingham, WA.

Once all sub-factors are evaluated, the government shall rate the offeror’s proposal for factor 1 using Table M-1 below:

Table M-1_Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method

b. Factor 2- Past Performance.

Past performance will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.305, however a comparative assessment will not be determined in accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2)(i). The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements based on recency, relevancy and satisfactory performance. The acceptability of the offeror’s past performance shall be evaluated.

This is done through the establishment of criteria to be evaluated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis as follows:

Evaluation Criteria Section L Submission Reference

Evidence of successful past performance on one (1) separate contract action within the last five (5) years that demonstrates performance relevant to preservation projects similar to or exceeding in scope to section 1.2 of the statement of work (SOW).

Volume II

Past performance information obtained from established systems such as the Past Performance Information

Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee

Performance and Integrity Information System

(FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System

(eSRS), or other databases. Past performance information may also be obtained from other sources available to the Government, such as the Defense

Contract Management Agency; and interviews with

Program Managers, Contracting Officers, Fee

Determining Officials.

Offeror’s are not required to submit any additional documentation in support of this evaluation criterion.

Once all past performance criteria are evaluated, the government shall rate the offeror’s proposal for factor 2 using

Table M-2 below:

NOTE: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

Table M-2_Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method

c. Factor 3- Price/Cost Reasonableness:

The Government will not evaluate price adjectivally. The Government will analyze the proposed price provided in

Section B and attachment J-2 of volume III in accordance with FAR 15.404 using proposal analysis techniques to determine fair and reasonable pricing. The Government may use one or a combination of price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price is received.

Award will be made on the basis of the lowest priced proposal that meets the acceptability standards for all non-price factors and sub-factors, in accordance with FAR 15.101-2. The offeror’s total proposed price of the basic contract line item number (CLIN) 0001 found in Section B shall match the sum of all paragraph line items within the Price Breakdown Spreadsheet (respective to individual tabs) found in attachment J-2. CLIN 0002 and CLIN

0003 are informational only and shall not be priced.

If the Government determines an offeror’s estimates to be inexplicably low or otherwise not fair and reasonable, that offeror may be eliminated from the competition without further discussion.

Completion of the attachment J-2 is REQUIRED to be submitted with your proposal. Failure to submit a price for any line item(s) in the J-2 attachment may result in the offer being rejected as unacceptable.

HQ M-2-0001 BASIS OF AWARD (NAVSEA) (SEP 1990)

ALL UNITS OF ALL ITEMS WILL BE AWARDED TO ONE OFFEROR. OFFERS, THEREFORE, MUST BE
