SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTIONS

I. NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT(S) OF INTEREST (NAVSEA)

(JUN 1994)

(a) Offerors are reminded that certain existing contractual arrangements may preclude, restrict or limit participation, in whole or in part, as either a SubContractor or as a prime Contractor under this competitive procurement. Of primary concern are those contractual arrangements in which the Offeror provides support to NSWC PCD or related laboratories (if applicable), in support of operation of the office or any of its programs. General guidance may be found in FAR 9.505; however, this guidance is not all inclusive. The Offeror's attention is directed to the "Organizational Conflict of Interest" (or similar) requirement which may be contained in current or completed contract(s) which prohibits the prime or SubContractor from providing certain supplies or services to the Government as described above during the period of the current "support" contract(s) or for a period after completion of the "support" contract(s). Notwithstanding the existence or non-existence of an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) clause or similar requirement in current or completed contract(s), the Offeror shall comply with FAR 9.5 and identify whether an OCI exists and not rely solely on the presence of an OCI requirement.

(b) If a potential conflict of interest exists at any tier, each potential prime Offeror is requested to notify the Contracting Officer within 14 days of the date of this solicitation. The Offeror shall provide: (1) the contract number and name and phone number of the Contracting Officer for the contract which gives rise to a potential organizational conflict of interest; (2) a copy of the requirement; (3) the statement of work (or technical instruction) from the existing contract; (4) a brief description of the type of work to be performed by each SubContractor under the competitive procurement; and (5) any additional information the Contracting Officer should consider in making a determination of whether a conflict of interest exists. The Government may independently verify the information received from the Offeror. Notwithstanding the above, the Government reserves the right to determine whether a conflict of interest exists based on any information received from any source.

(c) The Government will notify an Offeror of any conflict of interest within 14 days of receipt of all required information. Those Offerors deemed to have a conflict of interest may be ineligible for award. Failure to provide the information in a timely manner does not waive the Government's rights to make a conflict of interest determination.

The Offeror is notified that if it expends time and money on proposal preparation, such expenditure is at its own risk that the Government will not determine that an organizational conflict of interest exists.

(d) Any potential prime Contractor which proposes a SubContractor later determined to have a conflict of interest and deemed ineligible to participate in the current competition, may not be granted the opportunity to revise its proposal to remove the ineligible SubContractor. The Government reserves the right to determine which Offerors remain in the competitive range through the normal source selection process.

(e) If the Offeror determines that a potential organizational conflict of interest does not exist at any tier, the Offeror shall include a statement to that effect in its response to this solicitation.

II. NOTICE TO OFFERORS

III. GENERAL CONTENT REQUIREMENTS

This section delineates general information and requirements to be followed in the preparation of the proposal.

If the requirements of proposal content, general or specific are not met, an Offeror’s proposal may be determined ineligible for further consideration in the competition.

Proposals submitted shall be sufficiently detailed to enable project management, engineering, logistics and contracting personnel to make a thorough evaluation of the proposal by factor, and to arrive at a sound determination as to whether and how well the Offeror will be able to perform in accordance with the requirements of the RFP.

The proposal must be sufficiently complete to demonstrate how the Offeror proposes to comply with the requirements of the RFP. Legibility, clarity, and compliance to the requirements of the RFP are essential.

Failure to provide the requested information will adversely affect proposal evaluation. “Brochuremanship” is not desired. Clarity, completeness and conciseness are essential and the overall quality of the proposal will be evaluated in the context of being representative of the Offeror’s capabilities. Data previously submitted, or presumed to be known (i.e., previous projects performed for NAVSEA) may not be considered as part of the proposal unless physically incorporated therein.

In the event that someone who is not a bona fide employee of the Offeror who is submitting the proposal writes a portion of the technical proposal, a responsible officer of the Offeror shall sign a certificate to this effect. The certificate shall show the person’s name, employment capacity, the name of his firm, the relationship of that firm to the Offeror’s, and the portion of the technical proposal written by that person.

Proposals submitted in response to this RFP must contain a precise description of all terms and conditions of the services to be offered by the Offeror. The format and content of the proposal shall contain a response to the topics of discussion noted below. Information presented shall appear in the same order as outlined below.

IV. PROPOSAL CONTENT

(1) Volume I – Solicitation, Offer, and Award Documents (SF 33 – RFP)

(a) This document, which may be used as part of the contract award document, shall be fully executed and returned as a separate document from the technical/management and price proposal. Special attention should be taken to accurately enter the prices required in Section B, complete all RFP fill-ins by Section, complete all Representations and Certifications in Section K and ensure that an authorized person signs the offer in Block 17 of Page 1. If any amendments to the solicitation are issued the Offeror must ensure that such amendment(s) are signed, dated, returned and acknowledged in Block 14 of the SF 33 (Section A). This document shall not be embellished with any covers or binding.

(b) This volume must contain a certification that it contains all exceptions, deviations, and waivers that the Offeror takes from the provisions of the RFP and its applicable documents. An exception is where an Offeror states it will not comply with a requirement, usually involving contract terms and conditions. A deviation is where an Offeror states it will not comply with a requirement, usually involving a specification. A waiver is where an Offeror requires authorization for the government to accept an item, which will depart from specified requirements but would nevertheless be considered suitable. Exceptions, deviations or request for waivers may cause proposals to be considered unacceptable.

Provide a detailed description for each exception, deviation, or waiver. Indicate the Offeror’s difficulty with the applicable requirements and the Offeror’s proposed solution. Specifically, identify the portion of the RFP and the Offeror’s proposal, which are affected.

(2) Volume II - Technical Proposal

The Technical Proposal shall be specific and complete so as to clearly demonstrate to the Government that the Offeror has a thorough comprehension of and capabilities to perform all aspects of the solicitation requirements including technical, product assurance, fabrication, management, availability and reliability objectives, and resource requirements as well as all other provisions of this solicitation. Statements that the Offeror understands the problem and can or will comply with the requirements will be considered inadequate, as will statements such as “straight-forward development/fabrication techniques” or “the highest quality control procedures.” It is required that all pertinent factors be detailed. Clarity and completeness are essential. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements but shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet these requirements. Specifically, the proposal shall discuss in detail the Offeror’s technical superiority in accomplishing the requirements of this solicitation, and shall detail its proposed approach for meeting those requirements. This volume should also identify areas of potential risk to the achievement of the solicitation requirements. The Offeror shall identify the degree of risk involved in each area and describe a plan to mitigate the risk.

2.1 Executive Summary

This section shall highlight the Offeror’s approach to this acquisition, its key capabilities, and the general features of the Offeror’s resources. Experience and understanding of the technical efforts required by this solicitation should also be summarized herein. In addition, the Offeror should clearly indicate the technical reasons why the contract should be awarded to the Offeror. The Executive Summary shall be limited to five pages and is not included in the Technical proposal page limitation. The Executive Summary will not be evaluated.

2.2 Reserved

2.3 VOLUME II - TECHNICAL PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS

The Technical Proposal shall consist of the sections as detailed below. The Offeror must use the same numbering scheme for the sections as the ones used below.

FACTOR 1 – DESIGN MATURITY

Design maturity is a continuum ranging between the extremes of concept formulation (immature) and multiple end items in current operation (mature). As defined above, a Bathymetric Measuring System Sensor (BMSS) existing only on paper is immature. A BMSS, exactly as proposed, having had multiple operational end items produced is considered fully mature.

Discuss where the proposed BMSS and support systems and equipment fall on the continuum of design maturity. If a derivative of a parent system, also discuss where the parent system falls on the continuum of design maturity. Quantify maturity determinations by providing evidence. Key elements of the BMSS are the swath bathymetry/imagery sonar, gap filler bathymetry/imagery sonar, if applicable, and the integrated navigation system. Evidence pertinent to the key elements should consist of:

Fielded systems performance data, Full scale performance data, Scale-model performance data, or

Calculation/analysis data.

The preceding data is listed in order of significance (i.e. Fielded systems performance data is more significant than full scale performance data, which is more significant than scale-model performance data, which is more significant than calculation/analysis data). Include all end items claimed to substantiate design maturity for the proposed BMSS as a whole or for any of its components or systems.

System performance data is defined as:

Collected data sets that demonstrate the proposed system’s (or derivative parent system’s) ability to meet the bathymetry/imagery resolution and integrated navigation accuracy requirements.

The ability to process and display the swath bathymetry/imagery sonar, gap filler bathymetry/imagery sonar, if applicable, and the integrated navigation system information in real time.

The ability to process and display the ancillary functions as defined in the performance specification.

If the proposed BMSSS solution is a derivative of a parent system, provide a complete set of drawings, data, calculations, and schematics which clearly demonstrate the design, construction, and performance of the parent system.

FACTOR 2 - TECHNICAL COMPETENCE AND UNDERSTANDING

The Offeror shall provide a clear and concise technical approach to meeting each of the requirements contained in the performance specification.

3.3.3 Direct Labor

Offerors shall base the hours of their Cost Proposals as permitted in accordance with the requirement outlined in the Performance Work Statement. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes the national minimum wage and maximum hour requirements that apply to firms involved in interstate commerce.

Support functions include but not limited to word processing, reproduction, library, financial, contract administration (to include support of progress report preparation and invoicing), security administration, contract quality assurance, deliverable review and approval necessary to support technical effort. The Offeror shall indicate the hours/amounts proposed for each of these proposed administrative functions, and any deviations to the proposed man-year allocation.

Uncompensated Time (UT)

In compliance with FAR 31.201-4, Determining Allocability; CAS 401, Consistency in Estimating, Accumulating and Reporting Costs; and CAS 418, Allocation, the contractor shall proposed based on total time accounting of direct and indirect labor costs. The Contractors shall propose based on the following methods of accounting for uncompensated overtime acceptable to DCAA:

Calculating a separate average labor rate for each labor period, based on the salary paid divided by the total hours worked, and distributing the salary costs to all cost objectives based on that rate.

Determining the percentage of total hours worked on each cost objective during the labor period and distributing salary cost based on the percentage allocation. For example, if an employee was paid on a weekly basis and worked 20 hours on one project and 30 hours on another, 40 percent of the employee's salary would be charged to the first cost objective and 60 percent to the other.

Computing an estimated hourly rate for each employee for the entire year based on the total hours the employee is expected to work during the year and distributing the salary costs using the estimated hourly rates. Any variance between the actual salary costs and the amount distributed is charged or credited to overhead.

FAR 52.237-10 in Section I of the Basic Contract defines Uncompensated Time (UT) as any hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week without additional compensation. Offerors and its proposed subcontractors shall:

(a) Identify whether the proposed labor categories will be supported by a full time employee and the number of full time employees per labor category

(b) Provide the method use in deriving to the uncompensated overtime. If proposing based on DCMA forward pricing rate recommendations (FPRR) or proposal, the contractor shall provide basis in arriving to the proposed FPRR.

(c) Offerors shall provide a copy of its policy on the use of uncompensated overtime, and as well as for each Subcontractor which has uncompensated overtime included in their proposed LOE.

(d) The Offeror and its subcontractor(s) shall i identify uncompensated overtime hours and the uncompensated overtime rate for direct-charge FLSA-exempt personnel included in the prime and subcontract proposals. This includes uncompensated overtime hours that are in indirect cost pools for personnel whose regular hours are normally charged as a direct cost.
