For annexes including subcontract effort in excess of $2,000,000 annually, submit subcontractor information in the same level of detail as prime contractor. For evaluation purposes only, for non-exempt employees’ labor rates, offerors shall use Attachment JH-3 (CBA effective as of 01/01/2019); and escalate wage rates by 2.8% annually.
b. Material. Offerors shall use the material costs provided in Estimated Materials Cost (Attachment JB-3) in their proposals and provide associated direct and indirect cost in accordance with its established accounting practices.
c. Equipment. A limited inventory of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) is being made available for use on the contract as addressed in the Performance Work Statement (PWS), (Attachment JC-1) of certain annexes. After existing GFE becomes unavailable for further use on the contract, the contractor will be responsible for providing the necessary and appropriate replacement equipment. The responsibility for having the necessary equipment to produce and deliver the required contract services rests solely with the contractor. Offerors are required to provide for all the equipment necessary to perform the requirements of the contract. Because the Government will not take title to contractor furnished equipment, the accounting/billing method shall be through depreciation or a use rate of contractor provided equipment. Furthermore, the successful offeror shall not be permitted to incur costs associated with the acquisition or fabrication of any item of equipment to be treated as fully expensed (direct item of cost) whether identified as such in its proposal or not, without prior written approval of the Contracting Officer. Proposals shall identify equipment cost by Annex/sub Annex/Spec. Item. Prepare an itemized listing identifying the type of equipment, quantity, year of purchase (if appropriate), method of costing/reimbursement and resulting unit costs. Details and pricing support shall distinguish between contractor owned equipment, leased or rental costs. Depreciation charges will comply with FAR 31.205-11. In FAR 2.101, Depreciation is defined as "...a charge to current operations which distributes the cost of a tangible capital asset, less estimated residual value, over the estimated useful life of the asset in a systematic and logical manner." If equipment is leased under an operating lease (as defined by Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 13), then costs will be accounted for and billed to the extent allowed under FAR 31.205-36, Rental Costs.
d. Subcontracts. Provide a description of the efforts to be subcontracted and the type, fixed price or cost reimbursable. Offerors are required to review subcontractor prices/costs and shall include the results of these analyses in the cost proposal in accordance with FAR 15.404-3(b). For subcontracts in excess of $2,000,000 per year, provide a schedule detailing the proposed amounts by element (labor, materials, equipment, etc.) in the same level of detail as requested for the prime contractor. The indirect rate ceiling provisions (see Part 8f) apply to proposed cost- reimbursable subcontractors and the applicable ceiling rates will be included in the contract resulting from this solicitation. Ensure that any cost-reimbursement subcontracts are proposed in accordance and comply with FAR 52.244-2 Subcontracts, specifically FAR 52.244-2 Alt 1 (c).
e. Other Direct Costs (ODC). Provide an itemized listing of cost elements you categorize as ODC and basis for pricing. If categorizing proposed relocation, travel, incentive compensation, and other similar costs as ODC, provide a detailed explanation in your narrative that the proposed costs are in accordance with H.9 Reimbursement of Relocation Costs, Home Leave, Incentives, and Travel Costs for Key Personnel and provide a detailed cost breakdown.
f. Indirect Costs (Fringe Benefits, Overhead, G&A, etc.). Provide a table that summarizes all indirect rates, by contract period, utilized in pricing the proposal. Provide a narrative explanation of the application base that each indirect rate is applied to. Provide the basis and supporting documentation for each rate. Include copies of any Forward Pricing Rate Agreements with the Government. For Joint Venture arrangements with no historical data, describe the nature of the indirect/support costs anticipated and the basis for estimate. For cost control, the Government establish maximum or ceiling rates for each separate indirect rate category. For JVs, the Government is seeking to establish maximum, or ceiling rates, for the JV entity as well as the partners comprising the JV. Offerors shall identify its proposed ceiling rates applicable to the various contract periods in Attachment JH-1, Indirect Rates and Award Fee Rate Submission Maximum (Ceiling) Indirect Rate Ceilings.
g. Award Fee and Guam Business Privilege Tax (BPT)
Award Fee Available Pool. The maximum available award fee pool shall be established by multiplying the total allowable estimated contract costs excluding BPT by the Offeror's proposed percentage. Provide information identifying the award fee percentage and the base the percentage is applied to. The Proposed Award Fee Percentage shall be effective for the mob/base period and all subsequent option periods. The Award Fee Percentage shall remain constant and shall not fluctuate from option period to option period.

Each Non-Cost (Technical) proposal shall be precise, detailed and complete. The Offeror shall provide a narrative description in sufficient detail that addresses each of the following Non-Cost (Technical) factors:
Factor A, Past Performance:
The Offeror and team members (e.g., subcontractors, JV partners, Mentor Protégé Partners, etc.) can demonstrate past performance by submitting a maximum combined total of ten (10) recent relevant single-function or multi-function projects. Of the ten (10) projects, the Offeror must submit a minimum of three (3) multi-function projects with a value of $20 million or more per year. Single-function projects must have a value of $4 million or more per year. All projects must had been performed within the last five (5) years from the issuance date of the solicitation.
The projects should demonstrate an Offeror’s ability to successfully perform the proposed effort and demonstrate relevant experience similar in size, scope and complexity to the work anticipated under this contract. Only submit projects in which the Offeror, or a primary team member(s) or a subcontractor(s) (see Notes for Factor A and B, paragraphs 6 and 7) was the prime contractor. If the Offeror submits more than ten (10) projects for evaluation, the Government will evaluate the first ten (10) and disregard any other project information. Also, as part of its past performance submission, the Offeror should provide a narrative explanation of any past performance problems that may have developed on those projects submitted for Factor A and corrective action taken. This narrative will be page counted and should be included after the past performance questionnaire.
IF BOTH FINAL AND INTERIM CPARS EVALUATIONS ARE AVAILABLE, THEY SHALL BE
SUBMITTED WITH THE PROPOSAL. IF THERE ARE NO COMPLETED CPARS EVALUATIONS, the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ)(Attachment JL-3) included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project the offeror includes in its proposal for Factor A, Past Performance. AN OFFEROR SHALL NOT SUBMIT A PPQ WHEN A COMPLETED CPARS IS AVAILABLE.
IF A CPARS 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 proposal. PPQs should be signed and dated by the client when submitted. If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ (Attachment JL-3), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). The Government may make reasonable attempts to contact the client noted for that project(s) to obtain the PPQ information requested. Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact, Kathy Pamplona-Rita, via email at NFPACQ2@navy.mil prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs or CPARS previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.
Also, include a one (1) page list of awards received on projects submitted under Factor A, such as award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition. Actual certificates or proof will be requested if deemed necessary.
In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) using all CAGE/Entity Identifier numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, or teaming arrangement) identified in the Offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror. The Government will determine the relevance of the past performance information received on other projects, as well as consider the source, context and currency of such information in its evaluation. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current accurate and complete past performance information rests with the offeror.
Notes for Factors A and B:
(1) The distinction between “corporate experience” and “past performance” is corporate experience pertains to the types of work and volume of work completed by a contractor that are comparable to the types of work covered by this requirement, in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Past performance relates to how well a contractor has performed.
(2) Definition of “recent relevant project” is as follows:
In order to be considered recent, a project must have involved work performed within the five (5) years from the issuance date of the solicitation.
The ratings in the following table shall be used to determine relevancy:
Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Rating Definition Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
In general, relevant means sufficiently similar to the current acquisition to provide indicators of expected performance. For example, relevancy may be established by: similar product or service type, product or service complexity, contract type, contract dollar value, contract location, and the extent to which the entity performing the work is the same as the entity that will do the work under this solicitation.
For multi-function projects to be considered somewhat relevant, each project shall demonstrate past performance in a minimum of any two of the following Annexes:
Annex 6 Port Operations Annex 15 Facilities Support (1501000 Facilities Management or 1502000 Facilities Investment) Annex 16 Utilities (1601000 Utilities Management or 1602000 Electrical or 1604000 Wastewater or 1605000 Steam or 1606000 Water) Annex 17 Base Support Vehicles & Equipment
(3) Evaluation preference will be given for demonstration of favorable past performance and experience on cost-type multi-function support service contracts (similar product or service type).
(4) “Projects” must be stand-alone contracts or task orders, performed within the past five (5) years from issuance date of the solicitation, which demonstrate its ability to perform the proposed effort. The submission of information on a basic IDIQ contract will not be considered. The offeror must demonstrate in its proposal how a project is relevant to this acquisition.
(5) The term “offeror” typically refers to a single corporation submitting a proposal either as a prime contractor or a joint venture composed of multiple organizations submitting a proposal as joint-venture partners.
“Offeror” may refer to other legal entities such as joint ventures (JV), Limited Partnerships (LTD), and Limited Liability Companies (LLC). In its evaluation of past performance and experience, the Government’s evaluation will generally focus on the entities submitting the proposal (single-corporation, individual joint venture partners, the LTD or the LLC).
(6) A subcontractor’s past performance will not be given the same weight as either a prime contractor or a joint venture partner because there is no direct legal relationship between the Government and the subcontractor.
The Government will consider the past performance of a subcontractor where the prime contractor provides, in its proposal, evidence of a binding teaming agreement or other contractual agreement, which creates legal responsibility on the part of the subcontractor. The teaming agreement or other contractual agreements shall, at a minimum (1) be signed by the offeror and subcontractor, (2) specifically reference this solicitation/contract, and (3) specify the work to be performed by the subcontractor such that it is clear that the subcontractor will be meaningfully involved in this contract in a role that is consistent with the subcontractor’s role in the project submitted. However, the level of consideration will depend on the extent to which the proposal demonstrates the subcontractor's commitment to the project and legal accountability. The Government will not consider the experience of a subcontractor for Factor B, Corporate Experience.
(7) If an Offeror is utilizing past performance or corporate experience information of LLC/LTD member companies (name not exactly as stated on the SF33), the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the LLC/LTD member companies will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract in order for the past performance or corporate experience information of the LLC/LTD member companies to be considered. The proposal shall state the specific resources (e.g., workforce, management, facilities, or other resources) that the LLC/LTD member companies will commit towards the performance of this contract. Prime contractor-subcontractor teams/Joint Ventures/LLCs/LTDs with a demonstrated history of working successfully together on prior projects may be considered more favorably than those without such history.
Factor B, Corporate Experience
The projects submitted for Factor B, Corporate Experience, must also be submitted for Factor A, Past Performance.
Offerors shall submit a maximum combined total of five (5) recent relevant single-function or multi-function projects that demonstrate their ability to successfully perform the proposed effort. Of the five (5) projects, the Offeror shall submit a minimum of three (3) recent relevant multi-function projects with a value of $20 million or more per year. Single-function projects must have a value of $4 million or more per year. All projects must had been performed within the last five (5) years from the issuance date of the solicitation. If the offeror submits more than five (5) projects for evaluation, the Government will evaluate the first five (5) and disregard any other project information. Offerors shall provide a narrative regarding their recent relevant corporate experience, on projects covered under the Guam BOS Annexes/Sub-Annexes that demonstrate (1) depth (extent of experience in each Annex/Sub-Annex); (2) breadth (expertise across all Annexes/Sub-Annexes); and (3) multi-function management (experience managing/coordinating work across multiple Annexes/Sub-Annexes). Offerors shall also complete worksheet JL-9, Corporate Experience Worksheet, to demonstrate the depth and breadth of their experience.
The offeror’s submitted projects must aggregately demonstrate experience self-performing or managing subcontractors in the following Annexes/Sub-Annexes:
