SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

PART A: GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 Section L contains instructions on how to prepare and submit proposals in response to this solicitation. Nonconformance with these instructions may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation and elimination from consideration for award.

1.2 The government will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror's proposal. The Offeror has the burden to submit a proposal that convincingly demonstrates that the Offeror has an accurate understanding of the requirements and the associated risks; that the Offeror has viable solutions for the requirements and potential risk areas; and that the Offeror is able, willing and competent to devote the resources necessary to meet the requirements.

1.3 It is the Offeror’s responsibility to submit a proposal that enables government evaluators to effectively evaluate and substantiate the validity of any assertions set forth in the Offeror’s proposal. Assume the government has no prior knowledge of an Offeror’s facilities and experience. Accordingly, do not simply rephrase or restate the government's requirements. Regurgitating the Statement of Work, any Government Instruction, guideline documents or standards are inadequate and will adversely impact the government’s evaluation assessment of the Offeror.

1.4 Alternate proposals are not acceptable. In addition, taking exception or deviating or requesting waivers (including making assumptions and conditions that may be construed as taking exception, deviation or waiver) from any term or condition of the RFP may make an offer unacceptable, and the proposal unawardable, unless the RFP expressly authorizes such an exception or deviation with regard to that specific term or condition.

1.5 There is no need to repeat information in the same volume or in more than one volume. If an overlap exists, the detailed information should be included in the most logical place and summarized and referenced in other areas. No cost or pricing information other than the information required at Section L.B.1.1(c) should appear in the Past Performance volume.

2.0 PROPOSAL FORMAT

Written proposals must be formatted using a Times New Roman 12-point normal font, no reduction permitted, single-spaced, 1-inch margins all around, and formatted for standard 8.5 x 11 inch paper. All pages should be numbered and labeled according to the proposal volume. Attachments to the proposals shall follow the same format described above. When foldout pages are used, they must not exceed 11 x 17 inches and will be counted as 1 page. Drawings may be provided separately and may be any size, but should be folded to approximately 8.5 x 11 inch standard size and will count as 1 page. Graphs, drawings, graphics, tables and figures shall be presented in no smaller than a 10-point font and shall be labeled. The proposal cover sheet shall include the company name as it appears in the TDPC IDIQ contract and include the CAGE and DUNS codes. BE CONSISTENT!

3.0 PROPOSAL VOLUMES

3.1 All proposals must be UNCLASSIFIED. Each volume of the proposal shall be submitted as one paper original with additional paper and separate Compact Disk Read-Only Memory (CD-ROM) copies as specified in the table below.

3.2 The separate CD-ROM copy of the Past Performance Volume shall be fully compatible with Microsoft Office 2016 products. Do not submit in .pdf format unless information is not supported by Microsoft Office products (e.g., drawings, attachments such as CDRLs,). Any information provided in portable document format (.pdf), shall be a fully searchable .pdf using the latest Adobe Acrobat on each CD-ROM. . Do not submit in copy or picture format and do not submit attachments files (e.g., CPARS, SOW copy, contract document copy) using .jpeg (or similar) or picture copy pasted in a Word document or .pdf. All proposal files shall be fully searchable. The separate CD-ROM copy of the Price Volume must be provided in or be compatible with Microsoft Office 2016 Word and Excel (if applicable) format, with spreadsheets unprotected and showing all computations and formulas (if applicable.) The price files shall be fully searchable. Each separate CD-ROM is to be labeled for content and the Offeror’s name. If a discrepancy exists between the original paper version of the proposal and a CD-ROM “copy,” the paper original will take precedence.

3.3 Page limitations for each volume are specified in the table below. Proposal pages beyond the specified limit will not be evaluated. Title/cover pages, table of contents, lists of figures/tables, divider tabs, and worksheets do not count towards the page limit.

(no page limit) 1 Paper Original 2 Paper Copies 2 CD-ROM Copies
