Note: If the offeror is a joint venture, and the joint venture partners are proposing separate rates, information must be provided in the same level of detail for each member of the joint venture team. One submittal may be submitted for the Joint Venture (JV) entity, only if the JV has an established separate cost center for the JV entity with an adequate accounting system for a cost reimbursable contract.

(2) Offerors shall not deviate from the basic format of the forms identified in this solicitation. However, offerors may adjust columns, rows and cost elements under Attachments J.3, J.4, J.6, and J.7 in order to be consistent with their cost accounting systems. The cost proposal shall include the completed mandatory rate forms and supporting information in the general format outlined below:

The cost proposal shall be a complete and detailed cost breakdown of all cost elements and other cost information required herein.

Tab 1 – COST PROPOSAL WITH SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION

a. DIRECT LABOR RATE SUBMISSION-ATTACHMENTS J.1, J.1A, J.2, and J.5

(1) A separate rate sheet shall be submitted by the prime, each joint venture member, and each cost reimbursable subcontractor. Note: If the offeror is a JV and the JV partners are proposing separate rates, separate rate sheets must be provided by each member of the JV. One submittal may be submitted for the JV entity, only if the JV has an established separate cost center for the JV entity with an adequate accounting system for a cost reimbursement contract. Offerors shall provide direct labor rates, including any adjustment for uncompensated overtime (see attachment J.2), for all cost reimbursable labor categories listed in Attachment J1.1 and J.1A as follows:

(2) Each contractor, JV member and cost reimbursable subcontractor shall provide labor rates for ALL LABOR CATEGORIES listed on attachment J.1 and J.1A. If the contractor/subcontractor does not currently employ the listed employee, a market rate shall be provided. The employee must be tied to an internal labor category whether or not they are a current employee.

(3) Offerors SHALL NOT ADD ADDITIONAL labor categories on J.1. If it is determined that a labor category not listed on J.1 is required for a task order, Contracting Officer for the contract may approve the labor category and the corresponding bid/ceiling rate for the specific task order, and if applicable, may incorporate the labor category into the basic contact.

(4) Offerors shall provide the company’s labor category equivalent for all labor categories listed on J.1 and J.1A.

(5) Labor categories listed on Attachments J.1 and J.1A are for exempt employees, supervisory, and specialty UXO personnel. Service Contract Labor Standards (SCA) or Construction Wage Rate Requirements (Construction) labor categories are not included. As applicable, SCA and Construction Wage Determinations will be included in individual task orders. The proposed bid and bill rates for SCA and Construction labor shall be equal to or greater than the minimum wage determination rates specified in the DOL Wage Determination incorporated in the task order, but shall not exceed the maximum percent proposed in Attachment J.5.

(6) The labor categories and labor rates identified in Attachment J.1 establish provisional/bid rates for negotiating baseline costs and maximum ceilings for Direct Labor during the base period and all option periods (if exercised) of the contract. Offerors are to provide provisional bid and ceiling rates for the base year and all four option periods on Attachment J.1. Ceiling rates shall not exceed 15% above the proposed provisional rate for each contract period.

See Section H for additional information. The provisional rates will be used for negotiating task orders, and rates billed against specific task orders will be based on the actual labor rates in effect, not to exceed the ceiling rates allowed under the contract on Attachment J.1. The provisional and ceiling rates proposed and submitted with the RFP shall be utilized for the base year and exercise of each option period.

(7) Attachment J.1A reflects the escalation rate applied to the direct labor bid rate for each option period. No additional escalation will be applied to the provisional rates when option periods are exercised. Therefore, offerors should factor escalation into their provisional rates for option periods one through four. For each labor category, the Offeror shall enter its escalation factors applied to the provisional rates for each option period on Attachment J.1A.

The offeror shall also provide the basis for any proposed/projected escalation and the assumptions used: forecast source (such as Global Insight), index used (index number and title), calculations (index values used: base and projected values), and dates used (month and year of applicable index numbers). The offeror shall provide copies of the escalation forecasts as support documentation in their proposal.

(8) Where it is determined necessary to utilize a specific individual on this contract whose actual labor rate exceeds the established ceiling, the Contractor will be required to obtain prior written approval by the Contracting Officer. In the event that such approval is not properly obtained, the Government will only be required to reimburse the Contractor at the ceiling rate.

(9) Cost proposal shall address CEILING RATES FOR SERVICE CONTRACT LABOR STANDARDS AND CONSTRUCTION WAGE RATE REQUIREMENTS labor categories by completing ATTACHMENT J.5.

(10) Offerors shall provide the following information to support the proposed direct labor rates:

Offerors shall provide and discuss how the proposed labor rate ceilings on J.1 were derived. Provide information on the basis of the base rates used to arrive at the ceiling rates, such as whether the base rates were based on actual individual rates for key personnel, average or weighted rates for current employees, forward pricing rates, market sources such as Bureau of Labor Statistics or salary.com, or the offeror’s estimate, etc. If a composite labor rate is utilized or a labor rate is prorated over fiscal years, provide the specific details/calculations used to determine the rate. If forward pricing rates apply, provide a copy in Appendix A. Any deviation from forward pricing rates, current actual rates for individuals, etc. shall be clearly documented. Note the percent markup used on the base rates to arrive at the proposed ceiling rate for each labor category. Complete J.1 showing the base rate for each labor category, percentage markup for each labor category and ceiling rate for the base and option years.

If uncompensated overtime is proposed and used in calculating individual and average labor rates for Fair Labor Standards Act exempt employees listed in Attachment J.1 and J.1A, complete Attachment J.2 (IDENTIFICATION OF UNCOMPENSATED OVERTIME RATIOS) for each affected labor category.

Additionally, provide in Appendix C: (1) required information per provision FAR 52.237-10 Identification of Uncompensated Overtime (March 2015); (2) historical number of hours in excess of 40 hours per week for each labor category; and (3) evidence of the Defense Contract Audit Agency or Defense Contract Management Agency approval of the corporate policy addressing uncompensated effort.

b. INDIRECT RATE SUBMITTAL – ATTACHMENTS J.3, J.4, AND J.6

1. INDIRECT RATES, FEE APPLICATION FORM AND DISTRIBUTION OF COST-REIMBURSABLE

WORK - (A separate rate sheet shall be submitted by the prime, each joint venture member, and each cost reimbursable subcontractor.) (NOTE: If the JV has an established separate cost center for the JV entity with an adequate accounting system for a reimbursement contract, one form may be submitted for the JV entity). The indirect ceiling rates proposed will be the maximum allowable rates that can be proposed or billed under task orders issued during the ordering period. These are not bid rates. Indirect rates proposed for individual task orders may be less and should be in accordance with the offeror’s disclosed estimating system practices and, if applicable, forward pricing rate agreements. Additionally, should actual rates experienced during performance of the contract be lower than the ceiling rates shown, actual rates will be billed. The indirect rate ceilings will be incorporated into the awarded contract as stated under Section H hereto.

(1) The offeror shall submit a completed Indirect Ceiling Rate, Award Fee Application and Distribution of Cost- Reimbursable Work Form, (J.4), showing the application of all proposed indirect ceiling rates and the award fee pool applicable to the appropriate bases. The matrixes provide base year and option year indirect rates as applicable and in accordance with disclosed accounting practices. Offerors shall delete or add other indirect rate pools to Attachment J.3 and J.4, as appropriate, to reflect their accounting systems. For instance, if Workmen’s Compensation is a separate indirect rate pool, it should be added. On the other hand, if fringes are included in the overhead pool, the fringe pool should be deleted. (Note: Attachments J.3 and J.4 are provided in Microsoft Word.

Complete in Microsoft Word format, as provided. Additionally, offerors should provide J.3 AND J.4 IN MICROSOFT EXCEL FORMAT ON THE CDS to show how the multiplier was calculated.)

(2) Offerors shall separately describe all indirect cost rates. Provide a comprehensive narrative explaining the application of indirect rates to appropriate bases. The narrative should include your disclosed accounting practices defining your indirect cost pools and bases, and the application of indirect rates to bases. This could include, but is not limited to, labor fringes, labor overhead, material overheads, General and Administrative expenses, cost of money factors, and any other indirect rate applicable to the work that will be performed under this contract.

Offerors shall provide and discuss how the proposed indirect ceiling rates were derived. Provide information on the basis on the base indirect rates (show base indirect rates on attachment J.3, Indirect Ceiling Rates Build-Up and Award Fee Application Form) used to arrive at the ceiling rates, (i.e. Forward Pricing Rate Agreement and the date of agreement (provide in Appendix A), bidding rates and the date of submission, and the date of approval, etc.).

Offerors shall exclude all unallowable costs identified in FAR 31.2 from the indirect cost rates. Offerors shall state whether DCAA has audited or applied agreed-upon procedures to the proposed indirect cost rates. If so, Offerors shall provide the date of the DCAA review and the DCAA report number. Any variance between indirect base rates used to develop the ceiling rates and applicable forward pricing rates/DCAA approved rates should be clearly documented in the supporting narrative. Note the proposed mark-up, if any, applied to the indirect base rates to arrive at the ceiling rates for the base year and each option period. The offeror shall clearly document why any significantly discounted rates will not pose a risk that the offeror will be unable to provide the services for the proposed costs, e.g. how will losses be handled. Significantly discounted rates are defined as those rates below the cost of the work to be performed, i.e. rates that will result in a loss. Any indirect rate discounts proposed will be analyzed to ensure compliance with cost realism.

(3) Award Fee: An award fee plan will be included in the basic contract. Award fee will not be allowed on Travel, Contractor – Acquired Property, Facilities Capital Cost of Money (FCCOM), and award fee on cost reimbursable subcontractor’s costs at any tier.

2. PROPOSED HISTORICAL AND YEAR –TO-DATE INDIRECT RATES-ATTACHMENT J.6 (A

separate rate sheet shall be submitted by the prime, each joint venture member, and each cost reimbursable subcontractor.) Offerors shall provide historical indirect rates, base indirect rates, and indirect ceiling rates on Attachment J.6, as follows:

(1) Offerors shall delete or add other indirect rate pools to J.6, as appropriate, to reflect their accounting systems.

The pools shall correspond to the pools listed on J.3 and J.4.

(2) Provide the following information in your cost proposal for all indirect pools listed:

Compare proposed indirect base rate(s) with the rate(s) experienced during the prior three completed fiscal or calendar years (whichever is most recent) and with the current year to date actual rate. Rates shown must be actual experienced costs, not budgeted or billing rates.

State whether the proposed rates include any appreciable change in the business volume, which materially affect the proposed burden rate(s). State whether the proposed rates include the effect of this contract.

Tab 2 - COST MODEL INFORMATION ATTACHMENTS J.7 & J.7A

Notes: SCA refers to Service Contract Labor Standards DBA refers to Construction Wage Rate Requirements

1. A separate Cost Model Worksheet (J.7) for the base year and each option year shall be completed/submitted by the prime, each joint venture member, and each cost reimbursable subcontractor in its entirety. Additionally, if multiple cost centers will be used in the performance of this contract, a completed cost model shall be submitted for each cost center. (Note: If a joint venture has an established separate cost center for the joint venture entity with an adequate accounting system for a cost reimbursement contract (FAR 16.301-3), one form may be submitted for the joint venture entity).

2. Offeror shall not add labor categories, make structural changes, or change the hours on this form. The Offeror shall not change the costs associated with Travel, Other Direct Costs, or Fixed Price Subcontracts on Attachment J.7. Offeror, however, should add or delete additional indirect costs in accordance with their established accounting system (must use appropriate base and explain).

3. Each team member (prime/JV, cost reimbursable subs) submitting this form shall provide rates for ALL LABOR

CATEGORIES LISTED ON J.7.

4. Offeror shall input their direct labor ceiling rates from Attachment J.1 (Maximum Ceiling Rate for Billing Purposes), which correspond to the labor categories listed on J.7, for each respective year (base and option years).

5. The proposed rates for SCA labor shall be equal to the wage determination base rates provided in WD 2015- 5693, Revision No. 12, dated 12/21/2020 (Attachment J.14) Do not include hazard pay for the SCA labor categories.

6. The proposed rates for DBA labor shall be equal to the wage determination base rates provided in General Decision Number HI20210001, Modification No. 4 dated 02/19/2021 (Attachment J.13).

7. For SCA and DBA labor, if it is the offeror’s normal accounting practice to charge health and welfare/fringe benefits as a direct charge, then the offeror shall explain the basis of the base rate, including calculation in Microsoft Excel format on a CD to clearly show the base rate and markups applied. For example, showing the SCA rate plus SCA health and welfare or DBA plus WD fringe and any other direct charges added to the direct labor rate such as FUTA, SUTA and FICA. The offeror shall use their indirect ceiling rates on Attachment J.4 in any offset or differential calculations to account for the payment of health and welfare/fringes in the base labor rate.

8. All indirect rates submitted on the Cost Model shall be the INDIRECT CEILING RATES provided in Attachment J.4 for each respective year (base and option years), and not base rates (i.e. forward pricing rates) used to derive the ceiling rates. If an offeror (prime/JV, cost reimbursable subs) proposes multiple mark-up rates for other direct costs and subcontracts (e.g. G&A), the highest mark-up rate shall be utilized on the cost model worksheet (J.7).

9. If applicable, in accordance with their accounting system, the offeror shall add any direct costs applied to the labor base (e.g. health and safety charge, low value equipment per labor hour). It is noted that in accordance with Section H5- costs for the acquisition or use of Information Technology Equipment or Systems shall not be considered as an allowable direct charge to this contract.

10. Award Fee – The award fee proposed in Attachment J.4 shall be applied to applicable costs. Award fee shall not be applied to travel, Contractor-Acquired Property, Facilities Capital Cost of Money, and award fee on cost reimbursable subcontractor’s cost at any tier.

11. Cost Model Worksheet (J.7) does not include formulas. In addition to the hard copies, Offerors shall submit this form in Microsoft Excel format on a CD to show all calculations (i.e. labor extensions, indirect rate application of labor, etc.) used to arrive at the total cost.

12. The Cost Model Summary Sheet (J.7A) shall be submitted by the prime contractor. This form does include formulas. For evaluation purposes, the percentages listed on Attachment J.3 (Distribution of Work) shall be used for the prime/JV and each cost reimbursable subcontractor listed on the Summary Sheet. In the event an offeror (prime, JV member or cost subcontractor) utilized multiple cost centers, the cost model will be completed for each cost center and the highest “Total” cost for the cost model shall be used on the summary sheet. The Prime contractor’s indirect ceiling rate mark-ups (e.g. G&A) for cost reimbursable subcontractors provided in J.4 for each year shall be added to the total cost. If the prime contractor is a JV, the rate for the JV member with the highest ceiling rate mark-up for a cost sub shall be used. Note: In addition to a hard copy, the summary form shall be submitted in Microsoft Excel format on a CD.

For clarification purposes the following example for the Summary Sheet is provided:

Total Cost Model Value for Base Year

% of work (J.3)

Total Value of Base Year based on % of Work

Prime / JV member 1 $490,000.00 30% $147,000.00 Prime/JV member 2 $505,000.00 25% $126,250.00 Cost Reimbursable Contractor $479,000.00 20% $95,800.00 Cost Reimbursable Contractor $515,000.00 25% $128,750.00 100% $497,800.00 Cost Sub Total % Mark-up Cost Sub Mark-up

Prime/JV indirect ceiling rate mark-up on Cost Reimbursable Subcontractors, i.e. G&A, as provided on J.4

$224,550.00 7.5% $16,841.25

TOTAL VALUE OF COST MODEL FOR BASE YEAR $514,641.25

Note: The Prime’s percent mark-up applied to the total cost for the cost reimbursement subcontractors is based on the indirect ceiling rate for JV member #1, whose rate was higher than JV member #2. The rate was applied to the total subcontract cost ($95,800 + $128,750) shown under Total Value of Base Year on % of Work Column.

Tab 3 - COST POOL, FINANCIAL/ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS AND AUDIT INFORMATION

The offeror should identify its cognizant Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) office, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) office, and if applicable, Cognizant Federal Agency Official (CFAO). The point of contact, address, phone number, and e-mail address for each of the cognizant agencies identified must be included.

Provide information to support a determination by the Navy of the degree to which each of the accounting and management systems listed below are adequate and compliant with Government regulations and standards. In accordance with FAR 16.104(i) and FAR 16.301-3(a) the offeror’s accounting system must be deemed adequate for the timely development of all necessary cost data and to determine costs applicable to the contract prior to contract award.

The Offeror should provide the Government with the current status (e.g. approved, disapproved, acceptable, adequate, inadequate, inadequate in part, etc.) of its following management systems:

1. Accounting System

2. Purchasing System

3. Billing System

4. Estimating System

The supporting data should include the most recent date of the audit or review completed by the cognizant agency and, if known, the audit report number. Offerors shall also identify whether an audit or review is in process. If the approved or adequate status of any of these systems is currently in question, or if DCAA has issued any reports [including issuance of any Statements of Condition(s) and Recommendation(s) (SOCARs) and/or Auditor Comments related to the Offeror’s response to the SOCARs released to the Offeror prior to issuance of a final report to the Contracting Officer], on inadequacies of the systems, the Offeror should provide copies of the subject reports and/or SOCARS, as well as an explanation of its agreement or disagreement with the cited inadequacies of the system. The Offeror should explain in detail the system inadequacies and specific plans for corrective action, including milestones for implementation of revised procedures. Also, the Offeror should discuss the impact on this procurement on the reported system inadequacies, and what action is being taken to ensure that these systems are corrected to ensure no detrimental impact should the Offeror receive a contract award. The Government reserves the right to coordinate with any Government Agency to verify the current status of these systems and the status of any corrective action taken by the Offeror already or still considered outstanding. In those cases where the accounting system does not have DCAA approval, the Offeror shall describe the action taken to obtain such approval prior to contract award. If DCAA audits are in excess of one year old, the Offeror shall certify via a statement that the system(s) have not changed since the date of the last audit. If audits have not been performed, brief description(s) of the system(s) should be provided. Each functional/task component of the system(s) shall be addressed. This information is required to ensure that the contractor has a system that ensures that the Government is properly billed for only the costs incurred during the performance of the work under a cost reimbursable task order.

If submitting a proposal as a joint venture, submit the required information for the managing member who will implement and control the systems. If 100% of the costs allocated to the joint venture are not based on the managing member’s financial and management systems, then the offeror shall submit the required information for each joint venture member. Example is where joint venture will subcontract work-out to individual joint venture members; thereby, utilizing their individual systems. Another example is where staffing includes employees of joint venture member firms subject to compensation plans and policies other than that of the managing member. Where a mix of joint venture and individual member management systems exist, Offeror shall explain which of these systems are fully applicable, partially applicable, or not applicable to the joint venture.

All the information requested above should also be provided for any cost reimbursable team subcontractors to which the Offeror anticipates awarding subcontracts. An explanation is required if information is not available for a subcontractor.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been added by full text:

M1 COMPETITIVE RANGE:

The Government intends to evaluate all proposals received and award a contract without discussions. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost/price and technical standpoint. However, if discussions are deemed necessary, to maximize the Government's ability to obtain the best value, discussions will be held with those offerors within the competitive range. The Government may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the most highly qualified proposals, considering cost and technical factors.

M2 ORAL PRESENTATIONS:

If discussions are deemed necessary, the Government reserves the right to request oral presentations with offerors within the competitive range. The oral presentation will be to augment the offeror's written proposal.

M3. ENFORCEABILITY OF PROPOSAL:

The proposal must set forth full, accurate and complete information as required by this solicitation. The Government will rely on such information in the award of a contract. By submission of the offer, the offeror agrees that all items proposed (e.g., key personnel, subcontractors, approach, etc.) will be utilized for the duration of the contract and any substitutions will require prior Contracting Officer's approval.

M4 BASIS OF AWARD

The contract resulting from this solicitation will be awarded to the responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government considering Cost and Non-Cost evaluation factors. Award may be made to other than the lowest cost offeror or other than the highest Non-Cost rated offeror. Business judgment and tradeoffs will be used to determine the proposal offering the best value to the Government. In determining the best value to the Government, the Government need not quantify the tradeoffs that led to the best value decision.

M5 EVALUATION FACTORS

(1) The evaluation factors are as follows:

I. Non-Cost Evaluation Factors:

FACTOR 1, CORPORATE EXPERIENCE

FACTOR 2, SAFETY

FACTOR 3, PAST PERFORMANCE

II. Cost

(2) The relative order of importance of the non-cost evaluation factors is as follows: Factor (1) Corporate Experience and Factor (2) Safety are of equal importance to each other; and, when combined are equal in importance to Factor (3) Past Performance. When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the three non-cost factors combined are significantly more important than cost.

(3) NON-COST EVALUATION FACTORS (FACTORS 1, 2, AND 3)

a. NOTES applicable to Factor 1, Corporate Experience and Factor 3, Past Performance on Recent, Relevant Projects:

(1) Definition of “recent relevant project” is as follows:

A. In general, relevant project means projects whose scopes of work were similar to the types of projects that may be ordered against this contract that require the performance of one or more of the Specific Tasks described in Section C, paragraph 1.2. A relevant project must be either a standalone contract or task order under an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract. The submission of information or the description of the scope of a Basic IDIQ contract will not be considered a relevant project, except in Section M, paragraph

M5.(3).b.(2)c and Attachment J.10, Key Personnel Experience/Qualifications. Information may be provided on Basic IDIQ contracts on Attachment J.10 for the Program Manager, Senior Project Manager, Contract Administration Manager, Quality Assurance Manager, and Health and Safety Manager

B. A relevant project shall also be for an amount of at least $200,000 in dollar value and shall be at least 85% financially executed as of the issuance date of this solicitation. A relevant project shall involve performance of remedial action services.

C. Recent is defined as five (5) years from the issuance date of this solicitation, except in regards to Key Personnel in which recent is defined as within the last ten (10) years from the issuance date of this solicitation.

(2) The distinction between Corporate Experience and Past Performance is that Corporate Experience pertains to the volume of work completed by a contractor that are comparable to the types of work described under the definition of recent, relevant projects, in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Past Performance pertains to both the relevance of recent efforts and how well a contractor has performed on the contracts.

(3) Definition: “Offeror” typically refers to a single corporation or business entity submitting the proposal as a prime contractor. “Offeror” is also defined as other legal entities such as joint ventures, Limited Partnerships (LTD), or a Limited Liability Company (LLC). In its evaluation of past performance and experience, the Government’s evaluation will generally focus on the entity submitting the proposal (single corporation, individual joint venture partners, or the LTD or LLC identified on the SF33). Entities may not submit as Prime on more than one offer. Failure to comply with this may result in disqualification of the Offeror for contract award.

(4) If an Offeror is utilizing or relying on experience or past performance information from affiliates/ subsidiaries/parent companies/LLC/LTD member companies (where their name is not exactly as stated on the SF33), the proposal shall clearly explain the nature of the involvement of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent firm/LLC/LTD member companies in the performance of the contract. The proposal shall state the specific resources (e.g., workforce, management, facilities, or other resources) that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies will commit toward the performance of the contract. If meaningful involvement is not demonstrated in the proposal, the affiliate, subsidiary or parent company’s experience or past performance and/or key personnel information will not be considered. Documentation shall be limited to five (5) single-sided pages and shall be included within Volume II, Factor 1.

(5) The Government reserves the right to consider the experience or past performance of a subcontractor.

If the Government chooses to do so, the subcontractor’s experience and past performance will not be given the same level of consideration as either the prime contractor or a joint venture partner.

(6) Prime contractor and 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.

(7) If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant project experience should be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity, if available. If the Joint Venture does not have shared experience, projects may be submitted for any of the Joint Venture members. Projects completed by the JV that are relevant may be considered more favorably than projects submitted by the individual JV members. Offerors who submit experience for all Joint Venture partners may be considered more favorably. Offerors are still limited to a total of eight (8) projects combined for Attachment J.8.

(8) If an Offeror is relying on the experience performed under a previous JV, the Offeror shall demonstrate what portion of the work was performed by the entity offering on this contract under the prior JV and shall not include work performed by the JV as a whole unless all members of the prior JV are being proposed under this solicitation.

b. EVALUATION FACTOR 1, CORPORATE EXPERIENCE

(1) The Offeror will demonstrate its technical experience and expertise in performing the requirements of this solicitation and their ability to recruit and employ qualified Key Personnel. This technical factor will be used to evaluate the probability of successful accomplishment of the work contemplated under this contract.

(2) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

a. Use Attachment J.8 to describe experiences with no more than eight (8) recent, relevant projects completed that individually or collectively are similar in scope, complexity, and size to the work described in Section C.
