Deliverables could also include assistance with Quarterly Mission Compatibility Newsletter, weekly compilation of encroachment-related articles and incidental services related to providing public notice for studies (including support for open houses) and publicizing and providing training on AICUZ/RAICUZ and encroachment-related studies. The preponderance of the work on this contract is anticipated to occur in the Continental United States; however, an order could be issued for any location worldwide. Projects can be categorized as preparation of AICUZ, RAICUZ and encroachment-related studies primarily for Navy and Marine Corps facilities. The small business size standard classification is NAICS 541330 ($14,000,000). The IDIQ contract term shall be for a one (1) base year period, beginning at date of award and shall contain four (4) one-year option periods. The total amount that may be paid under this contract (including option years) will not exceed $15,000,000 for the entire contract term. The minimum guarantee for the entire contract term (including option years) in the amount of $10,000.00 will be satisfied by the award of the initial Task Order.

The AICUZ documents to be prepared under this contract shall be developed in accordance with Chief of Naval Operations Instruction (OPNAVINST) 11011.36C, Air Installations Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ) Program. AICUZ plans will include a detailed analysis of aircraft noise, accident potential, land use compatibility, operations alternatives, and potential solutions to both existing and potential incompatible land use problems. RAICUZ plans shall be developed in accordance with OPNAVINST 3350.1A, Range Air Installations Compatible Use Zones (RAICUZ) Program. RAICUZ plans will quantify range compatibility zones, aircraft noise zones and blast noise zones, develop strategies for lands affected by potential weapon impacts or noise impacts, and develop a strategy to promote compatible development on land within these areas. The Weapon Danger Zone Tool methodology and DON RAICUZ policy and guidance on safety studies shall be used in preparation of RAICUZ plans. When necessary, analysis may also include airspace, using the Naval Aviation Simulation Model (NASMOD). Other encroachment/sustainability studies may also be prepared under appropriate DOD or DON guidance.

The successful contractor shall provide all labor, management, supervision, tools, materials, and all equipment necessary to perform the services listed above. Firms and personnel may be required to work within classified facilities and be exposed to classified information that will require additional security clearance. Document content and deliverables will vary per task order, but in general may include: reports, drawings, maps, computer graphics, computer models and slides for presentations. The document format and submission requirements will be addressed in the individual task orders. Computer generated documents must be compatible with the Navy's MAXIMO or individual installation's computer system. All drawings, when required, shall be submitted in Geographic Information System (GIS) compatible format.

The contract requires that the selected firm have on-line access to e-mail via the internet for routine exchange of correspondence.

SELECTION CRITERIA AND SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS:

Standard Form 330 (SF-330) - The A&E must demonstrate his and each key consultant's qualifications with respect to the published evaluation factors for all services. Evaluation Factors (1) through (4) are the most important and equal among themselves; factors (5) and (6) are slightly less important and equal amongst themselves; and factors (7) and (8) are the least important and equal amongst themselves. It is anticipated that interviews for slated firms will be conducted in Norfolk, VA.

Criterion 1 – Specialized Experience (SF 330 Part 1 Section F): Offerors will be evaluated on specialized experience and technical competence of the proposed team and/or proposed consultants in the following services: Preparation of AICUZ, RAICUZ, Aircraft Noise, and other encroachment-related studies.

Submission Requirements: Firms shall provide a maximum of 10 projects showing specialized experience of the proposed team in provision of the services noted above. Projects submitted by the Offeror shall have been completed within the five years immediately preceding the date of issuance of this Notice. All projects provided in the SF 330 must be completed by the office/branch/regional office/individual team member actually proposed to manage and perform work under this contract. Projects not meeting this requirement will be excluded from evaluation. To enable verification, firms should include the DUNS number along with each firm name in the SF 330 Part 1, Section F Item 25 “Firms from Section C Involved in this Project,” block (1). Include a contract number or project identification number in block 21. Include an e-mail address, and phone number for the point of contact in block 23(c). Include in the project description the contract period of performance, award contract value, current contract value, a summary of the work performed that demonstrates relevance to specialized experience as outlined above. If the contractor served as a subcontractor on a project, indicate the value of the work they provided towards the performance of the overall project. If a project was performed by a joint venture, and not all joint venture partners are on the team proposed for this contract, the offeror/team should specifically address the work performed by the joint venture partner offering/teaming on this contract. Likewise, if the offeror/team member worked as a subcontractor on a project, the description should clearly describe the work actually performed by the offeror/team member and the roles and responsibilities of each on the project, rather than the work performed on the project as a whole. If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the entity/entities offering/teaming on this contract, the project could be eliminated from consideration.

If the Offeror is a joint venture (JV), relevant project experience should be submitted for the joint venture if shared experience is available; if no shared experience is available, offers may submit projects performed by either joint venture partner. Offerors are still limited to a maximum of ten (10) projects.

Projects shall be submitted on the SF-330 at Part 1 Section F and shall be completed. Projects not completed will be excluded from evaluation consideration. For submittal purposes, a task order on an IDIQ contract is considered a project, as is a stand-alone contract award. Do not list an IDIQ contract as an example of a completed project. Instead, list relevant completed task orders or stand-alone contract awards that fit within the definition above. Examples of project work submitted that do not conform to this requirement will not be evaluated.

Failure to provide requested data, accessible points of contact, or valid phone numbers could result in a firm being considered less qualified.

All information for Criterion 1 should be submitted in Part 1, Section F of the SF330. The Government WILL NOT consider information submitted in addition to Part 1, Section F in evaluating Criterion 1.

Criterion 2 - Professional Qualifications and Technical Competence of the Individual Design Team Members (SF 330 Part 1 Section E and Section G): Offerors will be evaluated on professional qualifications and competence of the proposed key personnel to provide services to accomplish the tasks required under this contract, including base development planning and services for AICUZ, RAICUZ and/or other encroachment-related studies.

Submission Requirements: Provide resumes for all proposed key personnel. Resumes are limited to one page each and should cite project specific experience in the areas noted above within the five years prior to the date of issuance of this Notice and indicate proposed role in this contract. Provide professional registration, certification, licensure and/or accreditation in appropriate disciplines. Indicate participation of key personnel in example projects in the SF 330 Part 1 Section G.

Criterion 3 – Past Performance (SF 330 Part 1 Section H): Offerors will be evaluated on past performance with Government agencies and private industry in terms of work quality, compliance with schedules, cost control, and stakeholder/customer satisfaction. Evaluating past performance and experience will include information provided in Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) or CPARS/ACASS for Criterion 1 projects and may include other information provided by the firm, customer inquiries, Government databases, and other information available to the Government including contacts with points of contact in other criteria. Failure to provide requested data, accessible points of contact, or valid phone numbers could result in a firm being considered less qualified. NOTE: Past performance information for projects listed under Criterion 1 will be given greater weight.

Submission Requirements: IF A COMPLETED CPARS/ACASS EVALUATION IS AVAILABLE FOR A PROJECT UNDER CRITERION 1, IT SHALL BE SUBMITTED WITH THE COMPLETED SF 330 PACKAGE. IF THERE IS NOT A COMPLETED CPARS/ACASS EVALUATION, the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) included in this notice is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project the offeror includes under Criterion 1, Specialized Experience. AN OFFEROR SHALL NOT SUBMIT A PPQ WHEN A COMPLETED CPARS/ACASS IS AVAILABLE.

IF A CPARS/ACASS EVALUATION IS NOT AVAILABLE, ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed PPQs should be submitted with your SF 330. If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before the response date set forth in this notice, offerors should complete and submit with their responses the first page of the PPQ (Attachment), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s).
