The government will not review the legal enforceability of all promises between the partners or assign a risk rating based on this submission.

Under part (78) Supporting Cost Data: The price proposal, as explained below, shall contain a complete detailed cost breakdown for mobilization, demobilization, each contract period, and extension of services by cost element, by Annex, by Exhibit Line Item Number (ELIN), and by Sub-ELIN to support the Section B Fixed Price and IDIQ CLIN amounts. Typical cost elements might include, but are not limited to: direct labor; direct material; equipment;

subcontract; other direct cost (ODC); overhead; general and administrative, and Government of Singapore Goods and Service Tax (GST). Provide supporting worksheets and a written narrative, with explanations to fully explain the basis and rationale for the proposed amounts including backup details that can be related to the various segments of your price proposal. Ensure that the supporting price worksheets reconcile to each other and to your Section B/CLIN & ELIN. Spreadsheet Formulas should not be removed; however, proposals with macros, circular references, iterative formulas, or links to external documents may be rejected. NOTE: The Government will not accept any assumptions in Offeror’s Price Proposal.

a. Recurring Fixed Price. The Cost Summary worksheets (Section J, Attachment JB-1) illustrates the type of cost breakdown detail required for each contract period. The cost categories shown in the Cost Summary worksheets are examples only and Offeror may edit (add a column for example) in accordance with its established accounting practices. Offeror is also required to submit a Cost Summary Worksheet that provides a grand total roll-up combining all contract periods including mobilization, demobilization, and six (6) month option to extend services. For annexes including subcontract effort in excess of $2,000,000 annually, submit subcontractor information in the same level of detail as prime contractor.

Please see the notes in Attachment JB-1.

(1) Direct Labor and Fringe Benefits. Identify, by labor classifications, the number of full time equivalents (FTEs) and labor hours (for prime and all subcontractors) by Annex/sub-Annex for each contract period.

The offeror shall complete the Labor and Fringe Benefits Worksheet (Section J, Attachment JB-2), which illustrates the level of cost breakdown detail required; Offeror may edit (add columns for example) in accordance with its established accounting practices. The FTEs and labor hours shall reconcile with the information submitted under Technical Proposal Criteria, Technical Approach. Provide a crosswalk/reconciliation if this is not readily apparent.

The basis for proposed labor hours and rates must be disclosed. Supporting form(s) totals must reconcile to Attachment JB-2.

Identify proposed fringe benefits and labor burdens in sufficient detail to disclose all the elements included and the costs/rates proposed (e.g. Vacation/Holiday/Sick; Payroll Taxes - FICA, FUTA, SUTA or host nation equivalent; Worker’s Compensation Insurance; Insurances; Pensions; Bonuses; Health and Welfare, benefits not included in SCA/CBA rates, etc.). Offeror may edit Attachment JB-2 (add columns for example) in accordance with its established accounting practices. For items of direct cost associated with employment (i.e., incentive compensation, relocation, housing, bonus, etc.), when categorized as fringe benefits, provide an explanation in your narrative that proposed costs are in accordance with H.1 Reimbursement of Relocation Costs, Home Leave/R&R, Incentives, and Travel Costs for Key Personnel and provide a detailed cost breakdown.

The basis for proposed fringe benefit rates must be disclosed. Provide supporting documentation and supplemental detailed calculations/formulas of any proposed Fringe Benefit rates & source of rates (e.g. DCMA approved/DCAA audited, etc.). If there are no Government approved/audited rates, provide a detailed Narrative and supporting calculations on how the fringe rate was developed, list the types of fringe pool expenses included, and the allocation base.

For annexes including subcontract effort in excess of $2,000,000, prepare a schedule summarizing FTE’s and direct labor hours, for the prime and subcontract effort.

(2) Material. Provide material costs by Annex/sub-Annex and the basis of estimate.

(3) 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. Prepare an itemized listing identifying the type of equipment, quantity, year of purchase (if appropriate), accounting/billing method (i.e. Depreciation, Use Rate of contractor provided equipment), 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.

(4) Subcontracts. Provide a description of the efforts to be subcontracted and the contract type. Ensure that any flexibly priced subcontracts are proposed in accordance with FAR 52.244-2 Subcontracts. For those 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 required for the prime contractor. Offerors are required to review subcontractor costs/prices and shall include the results of these analyses in the price 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.

(5) Other Direct Costs (ODC). Provide an itemized listing of cost elements you categorize as ODC and basis of estimate. If categorizing costs associated with employment such as proposed relocation, travel, housing, incentive compensation, and other similar costs, as ODC, provide a detailed explanation and include a detailed cost breakdown.

(6) Indirect Costs (Fringe Benefits, Overhead, Profit, G&A, GST, etc.). Provide a table that summarizes all indirect rates and their percentages, 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. If the rates have not been reviewed by the Government, provide a narrative description of the accounts/items included in each proposed expense pool.

For Joint Venture arrangements with no historical data, describe the nature of the indirect/support costs anticipated from each partner or member and the basis for estimate. Provide a detailed narrative and supporting calculations on how the rate was developed, list the types of pool expenses included, and the allocation base for the proposed and projected rates.

Provide information identifying the profit percentage and the base the percentage is applied to, if not readily apparent. Provide the basis of proposed profit.

As referenced in the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore e-Tax Guide, the GST rate is 9% effective 1 Jan 2024. It is charged on the supply of goods and services in Singapore. Include GST in the proposed cost in Schedule B. Please also include GST in the UPL rates. Please note, Profit should not be applied on GST. For example, Profit is applied to Total Cost less GST. GST, however, is calculated on total cost plus Profit.

Offerors are expected to familiarize themselves with the location specific laws whether or not the United States Government provides notice of the existence of such requirements. There should be no assumption by Offerors that the Government will obtain any host country tax exemptions under the subject contract and NAVFAC Pacific does not recognize any previous exemptions that were issued on other contracts as being applicable to this solicitation.

(7) Escalation. Provide the basis of each proposed escalation factor (historical data, market index, etc.)

and explain the Offeror’s method of calculating/applying the escalation rate. Proposals shall provide this information for all cost elements and/or items that are escalated within your proposal (i.e. Direct Labor, Fringe, Material, ODCs, Equipment, Subcontracts, and indirect costs/rates) as applicable. If 0% escalation is proposed, provide the rationale and basis.

b. Non-Recurring (Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)) Effort.

(1) Unit Priced Labor (UPL) Hourly Rates. For the three UPL categories, (i) Interior Painting; (ii) Void Deck Painting; and (iii) Flooring (refer to PWS Annex 140100, Section C, Spec Item 4), provide narrative explanations and supporting cost details describing the basis and rationale for the proposed hourly rates, such as: (i) base hourly wage rates by labor classification, (ii) labor mix (i.e. proportionate share of effort per labor classification and skill), (iii) payroll burdens & fringes, and (iv) identify and apply indirect cost percentages and any other costs (e.g. TCN support costs, overheads, and general & administration) to calculate the unit price. The UPL Hourly

Rates shall include proposed Material cost, Profit, and GST. Provide material cost and basis of estimate. The supporting worksheet and explanations must clearly identify the basis for the proposed wage rates, fringe benefits, labor burdens and overhead in sufficient detail to identify and permit evaluation of all individual components.

Proposals shall show escalation factors and how they were utilized to price the submission during the full term of the contract.

VOLUME II – NON-PRICE PROPOSAL

The format of Volume II should be as follows:

(1) Offeror is strongly encouraged to limit the information submitted to pertinent information that responds to the non-price evaluation criteria.

(2) Non-Price proposal is limited to 250 pages of written narrative. CPARS Evaluations, PPQs, all J Attachments, charts/graphs are excluded from the 250 single-sided page count.

The Offeror’s non-price proposal shall be precise, detailed and complete. The Offeror shall provide a narrative description in sufficient detail that addresses each of the following non-price criteria:

Factor 1 – Past Performance

Solicitation Submittal Requirements: 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 $15 million or more per year. Single-function projects must have a value of $4 million or more per year. All projects must have at least one year of performance within a five (5) year period immediately preceding the date of issuance 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 1 and 2) 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 1 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 1, 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, Ms. Kimberly Williams via email at NFPACQ21-SINGBOS@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 1, 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.

Factor 2 Corporate Experience:

Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

The projects submitted for Factor 2, Corporate Experience, must also be submitted for Factor 1, Past Performance.

The Offeror shall submit a combined total of five (5) 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 $15 million or more per year. Single-function projects must have a value of $4 million or more per year. All projects must have at least one year of performance within a five (5) year period immediately preceding the date of issuance 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 Singapore Base Operations Support 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-4, Corporate Experience Worksheet, to demonstrate the depth and breadth of their experience. The Government will not evaluate any information provided under this factor unless it is provided on the required JL-4 Worksheet. The offeror’s submitted projects must aggregately and clearly demonstrate performance experience of Base Operation Support Services or equivalent facility support services (e.g. support of facilities other than Department of defense installations) by self-performing or managing subcontractors in the following Annexes/Sub- Annexes. All Offerors are required to have experience in 0501050 - Airfield Facilities, 1502000 - Facility Investment, and 1800000 - Environmental:

Annex 5 Air Operations 0501050 Airfield Facilities 0501070 Passenger Terminal and Cargo Handling

Annex 10 Supply 1001000 Material Management

Annex 14 Housing

1401000 Family Housing 1402000 Unaccompanied Housing

Annex 15 Facilities Support 1501000 Facility Management 1502000 Facility Investment 1503010 Custodial 1503020 Pest Control 1503030 Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) 1503040 Other (Swimming Pool) 1503050 Grounds Maintenance and Landscaping

Annex 16 Utilities 1606001 Water (Overseas)

Annex 17 Base Support Vehicles and Equipment Annex 18 Environmental

If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), recent/relevant experience should be submitted for projects completed by the JV entity. If the JV members have not previously performed together then experience must include at least one (1) recent/relevant project demonstrating performance for each JV partner (except for offerors covered by Mentor- Protégé Agreements approved by the Small Business Administration). JV offerors are still limited to a total of five

(5) recent and relevant projects.

If a project was performed by a JV, and not all partners from the prior JV are proposing on this solicitation, the Offeror shall clearly demonstrate what portion of the work on the submitted project was performed by the JV partner offering on this solicitation. If the Offeror does not specifically address what portion of the work under the submitted project was performed by the JV partner offering on this contract, the project will not be considered relevant.

For purposes of this factor, the definition of recent relevant project from Factor 1 shall apply.

Notes for Factors 1 and 2:

(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 (Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM or other overseas locations), excluding the United States 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 Factor 2, Corporate Experience, a multi-function project is defined as a single project that demonstrates experience in a minimum of any four of the following Annexes/Sub-Annexes:

Annex 5 Air Operations 0501050 Airfield Facilities 0501070 Passenger Terminal and Cargo Handling

Annex 10 Supply 1001000 Material Management

Annex 14 Housing 1401000 Family Housing 1402000 Unaccompanied Housing

Annex 15 Facilities Support 1501000 Facility Management 1502000 Facility Investment 1503010 Custodial 1503020 Pest Control 1503030 Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) 1503040 Other (Swimming Pool) 1503050 Grounds Maintenance and Landscaping

Annex 16 Utilities 1606001 Water (Overseas)

Annex 17 Base Support Vehicles and Equipment Annex 18 Environmental

(3) “Projects” must be stand-alone contracts or task orders, performed within the past five (5) years from issuance date of the solicitation, which demonstrate the offeror’s 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.

(4) 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 corporate experience, the Government’s evaluation will focus on the entities submitting the proposal (single-corporation, individual joint venture partners, the LTD or the LLC). Projects performed by the Offeror as the prime contractor may be considered more favorably.

Past performance or Corporate Experience will not be considered for subsidiaries, sister-companies, affiliates or parent companies.

(5) 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 2, Corporate Experience.

(6) 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. If the Offeror does not specifically address what portion of the work under the submitted project was performed by the LLC/LTD/JV member(s) offering on this contract, the project will not be considered relevant. 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 3 - Technical Approach:

The Offeror shall submit a narrative clearly describing its technical approach for accomplishing the performance objectives and standards described in each the PWS for Annexes/Sub-Annexes (see Section C). The proposal will be divided/tabbed by Annex/Sub-Annex. Within each Annex/Sub-Annex, offeror shall address the required staffing (skill level/skill mix), the technical approach (methodology), supplies, equipment and resources the offeror intends to utilize for executing and completing the contract technical requirements.

Offeror shall submit a staffing plan identifying the proposed organization and workforce, including project management planned for each Annex/Sub-Annex. Show lines of management authority, supervision, span of control and accountability including the relationships between prime and subcontractors. Include organization charts and describe the Quality Control/Assurance interface.

Use the Resources Worksheet, Attachment JL-5, provided in the solicitation under Section J to provide the following information (by ELIN): (a) the number of direct labor hours by type of employee (Management/Professional/Third Country National (TCN)/Expatriate); and (b) equipment to a level of detail as required to meet the performance objectives/standards.

Offeror shall identify any risk(s) they expect to encounter under the performance objectives and standards of this solicitation and how their technical approach and contingency plans will mitigate those risk(s).

Factor 4 - Safety:

The Offeror shall submit the following information: The Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate; and Total Case Rate (TCR) for the specified five (5) Calendar Years (CY), as well as a safety narrative, as described further below. For a partnership or joint venture, the Offeror shall submit separate DART rates and TCR rates for the specified five (5) CY for each contractor who is part of the partnership/joint venture;

however, only one safety narrative is required. Any fatalities experienced within this 5-year timeframe must be explained in detail, to include root cause and corrective actions.

NOTE: DART and TCR shall not be submitted for subcontractors

1. DART Rate: Submit five (5) previous complete calendar years’ [CY2018, CY2019, CY2020, CY2021, and CY2022] worth of data (not an overall average). If the Offeror has no DART rate, for any year, affirmatively state so and explain why. Should a negative trend occur above moderate risk levels, an acceptable/detailed explanation is required that includes any corrective actions taken for improvement.

a. DART cases include injuries or illnesses resulting in death, days away from work, and/or restricted work or transfer to another job days beyond the day of injury/illness.

b. Calculation of DART rate: Multiply the total number of DART cases by 200,000, and then divide by the number of employee labor hours worked.

2. TCR Rate: Submit five (5) previous complete calendar years’ [CY2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022] worth of data (not an overall average). If the Offeror has no TCR rate, for any year, affirmatively state so and explain why.

Should a negative trend occur above moderate risk levels, an acceptable/detailed explanation is required that includes any corrective actions taken for improvement.

a. TCR cases include injuries or illnesses resulting in death, days away from work, restricted work or transfer to another job days beyond the day of injury/illness, medical treatment beyond first aid, or loss of consciousness.

b. Calculation of TCR rate: Multiply the total number of TCR incidents by 200,000, and then divide by the number of employee labor hours worked.

3. Technical Approach to Safety: Submit a narrative that addresses the following:

a. Describe the Offeror’ s approach to implementing and executing a Safety Management System (SMS) including Management/Leadership involvement, Employee involvement, Hazard prevention, Hazard control, Worksite analysis, and Safety and health training, to include the standard(s) used to benchmark the SMS.

b. Describe the evaluation process used to select potential subcontractors.

c. Describe the processes of how the Offeror will oversee safety compliance of subcontractors at all levels throughout performance of the contract (to include the Offeror’s own in-house workforce).

d. The Technical Approach to Safety narrative shall be limited to two (2) single-sided pages or one (1) double-sided page.

4. The Government reserves the right to review other available sources (public/Government internal) of information.

These may include but are not limited to Singapore Ministry of Manpower data, OSHA data, NAVFAC’s Contractor Incident Reporting System (CIRS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Electronic Contract Management System (eCMS), etc.
