Section SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

AMENDMENT 0001

The purpose of Amendment 0001 is to:

1. Answer the following requests for information submitted in response to N62473‐24‐R‐3204.

a. Question: Section L, Submittal Requirements, No. 3. Basis of Evaluation and Submittal

Requirements for Each Factor (page 135 of 147) lists Tab B as the appropriate section for submittal of the ELIN Price Proposal in Excel and PDF format. This request conflicts with the information provided within the Instruction to Offerors section (page 133 of 147) where Tab B is listed as requiring submittal of Section B of the RFP where the overall total is being provided. Additional Tabs also have conflicting information. Can NAVFAC please clarify what information is requested within each Tab for Volume 1, Price Proposal?

Answer: Section L Instructions to Offerors and Submittal Requirements have been updated to clarify the information in each tab. There should be 4 tabs (A, B, C, and D.) See the revised Request for Proposal for further details.

b. Question: Please confirm that large business subcontractor project experience and personnel resumes can be utilized to meet the requirements of Factor 3 Corporate Experience.

Answer: Large business subcontractor project experience can be utilized for the project data sheets of Factor 3 Corporate Experience. Section L, paragraph 3(b)(3) has been updated to reflect this. However, the Quality Assurance Manager must be an employee of the Prime as stated in Section L, Paragraph 3(b)(3)(i)(b)(2). See the revised Request for Proposal for further details.

c. Question: Section L on Page 133 defines four (4) “TABs” A, B, C and D. However, later in Section L. 3. “Basis of Evaluation and Submittal Requirements for Each Factor” on Page 135 defines only three (3) TABs (A, B, and C) and there is no TAB D defined. For the purposes of organizing Volume 1, which section is correct and identifies the correct content and associated materials and TABs required for Volume 1?

Answer: Please see response to question a above.

2. Revise Section L of the request for proposal based on the above questions. Changes are shown in red.

Work under this contract will be ordered by issuance of written Task Order (TO) by the Contracting Officer (KO).

The Performance Work Statement (PWS) is organized into annexes. Annex 1 is "General Information". Annex 2 contains the on-site project management and administration requirements. Annexes 3 through 18 contain the technical requirements. The “Note to Spec Writer” (as seen below) refers to insertions at the Task Order level, not to/in the basic contract.

Background information considered appropriate for the project study area(s) and historic property(ies) will be provided in each individual Task Order.

1.4 Verification

of Workload and Conditions

Throughout the PWS, the workload data is generally referred to as being located in Section J.

Section J in each Task Order provides attachments, such as maps, figures, and tables to represent the type, quantity, and location of services to be provided. However, Offerors are encouraged to visit the project site during the site visit for Offerors as part of the Offeror’s due diligence to assess the nature of work and conditions under which work is to be performed.

1.5 Related

Any block of text marked “Informational Notes” throughout Annexes 1 through 18 is subject to this disclaimer. Offerors may not rely upon the "Informational Notes" as material representations of the Government. Information provided in "Informational Notes" does not create a contractual requirement on either party to this contract.

Clarifying Information describes client expectations in a more detailed manner than the Performance Objective and Performance standard alone.

Constraining Information describes limitations to the work performed to meet the Performance Objective and Performance Standard.

Requirement Information further describes client requirements associated with each Performance Objective.

1.6 Navy

Approach to Service Contracting

The Department of Navy (DoN) spends billions of dollars each year to provide base operations support services (BOSS). The Head of the Contracting Activity (HCA) of the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) has focused increased attention on re-engineering service contracts in response to customer and industry feedback, budget constraints, and the impact of a variety of contracting, program management, and financial management regulations. The Navy also supports the following principles:

1.6.1 Partnering

Philosophy

The first principle is that the Navy views its contractors as partners and not just abstract service providers. The Navy wants its contractors to succeed because a partner’s success drives the Navy's successful mission completion. Within the bounds of acquisition policy, the Navy intends to work to find solutions that will be beneficial to both the Government and its partners.

1.6.2 Contractor's

Knowledge

The second principle is that the Navy will receive insightful management from its contractors.

This management will include the knowledge, skills, authority, and willingness to use contractor resources to find better ways of serving Navy clients’ strategic and operational goals and objectives. The Navy's use of performance-based objectives illustrates this principle.

Although performance work statements will typically contain several levels of performance assessment, the Navy wants its contractors to exercise maximum discretion within bounds of prudent risk management to adjust processes and resources needed to reach specified objectives at the highest performance level.

1.6.3 Industry

Best Practices

The third principle is that the Navy will adopt industry-best commercial practices and maintain state-of-the-art service delivery. It is the Navy's and contractor's responsibility as partners to

Spec Item

Title Description reach this goal. To that end, the Navy's emphasis will be in evaluating performance objectives (end results).

1.7 Standard

Template

Key to implementing a programmatic approach is using a standard template that ensures Navy-wide consistency yet affords appropriate tailoring to meet local needs. This contract conforms to the standard template and has been tailored for this solicitation. NAVFAC intends to use this template-based approach for future service contracts. Offerors should develop an understanding of the template as part of performing due diligence in reaching an understanding of the Navy’s requirements and expectations.

The standard template contains 18 standard Annexes. Annex 1 will contain information that is relevant to the entire scope of the contract. Annex 2 contains on-site project management and administration requirements that are relevant to the entire scope of the contract. Annexes 3 through 18 contain the technical information and requirements peculiar to that technical annex.

For this solicitation, Annexes 1, 2, and 18 are applicable. Within each technical annex, the organization of information and requirements are also standardized. Specification Item 1 will contain General Information. Specification item 2 will contain management and administrative requirements. Annex 18, Specification item 3 contains Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) work requirements with No Pre-Priced Fixed Contract Prices. Annex 18, Specification Item 4 contain the IDIQ work requirements with Pre-Established Fixed Contract Prices (see Exhibits A through E in Section J). All costs associated with Annexes 1 and 2 must be priced and distributed within Annex 18, Specification Item 4.

1.8 Navy PBSC

Approach

The Navy’s approach to performance-based service contracting (PBSC) includes four (4) component parts which are 1) performance outcomes, 2) measurable standards, 3) consideration of incentives, and 4) performance assessment plan.

1.9 General
