SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1. What is the deadline for questions?

A1. Please submit questions no later than 08 September 2017.

Q2. Can the Government please identify the places of performance (CONUS and OCONUS) and the expected percentage of work at each location so that we can properly and competitively price the labor hours based on appropriate rates for each locale?

A2. Please refer to Statement of Work (SOW) para. 6.0 “Place of Performance.” Performance under this contract shall involve work aboard military vessels at various locations, including, but not limited to, private shipyards, Naval shipyards and military establishments both in the continental United States and overseas.

Each task order shall specify a place of performance.

The Government cannot identify all of the places of performance or expected percentage of work at each location.

Q3. What is the expected award date and expected Contract Start Date that we should use for pricing the BY and

OY's?

A3. The expected award date and contract start date is 01 July 2018.

Q4. The Government identified ecraft labor categories. One of the terms of ecraft is they are Service Contract

Act (SCA). Does the Government intend for the labor to be SCA for this contract effort?

A4. FAR 52.222-41 ”Service Contract Labor Standards” is not applicable to this solicitation.

Q5. Will the government provide the estimated percentages of work to be performed at government and contractor sites?

A5. Please use 25% Contractor site and 75% Government site as a basis for estimate for all labor categories.

Section B, “Level of Effort” has been revised to include the previous information.

Q6. When is the deadline for questions on the referenced RFP? It was not addressed in the solicitation.

A6. Please see Q1 and A1.

Q7. I am writing to inquire about the Modernization Program of HM&E Systems Services - N64498-17-R-4004.

I am wondering if the incumbent contracts for this requirement are contracts N6554011D0019 through N6554011D0022? If not, are you able to provide the incumbent information: contractor names and contract numbers?

A7. Solicitation N64498-17-R-4004 is the follow-on for contracts N6554011D0019, N6554011D0020, N6554011D0021, and N6554011D0022.

Q8. Section C, page 19, the final NOTE under paragraph 4.1.3 indicates that personnel “qualifications prefixed with ‘shall’ are considered minimums”. The term “shall” only appears with respect to the Diving Medical Examinations documentation, and non-key personnel minimum education and experience requirements. To be specific, there is no use of the term “shall” with respect to the education requirements of the Key Personnel. Will the government establish experience ‘equivalencies’ that will be acceptable in lieu of the ‘minimum education” requirements set forth in the RFP Program/Project Manager, and the Engineers categories?

A8. No experience equivalencies will be accepted for the Program/Project Manager or Engineer labor categories.

Q9. Regarding the experience for Program/Project Manager … does the government require a total of 10 years’ experience “including” five in program management, or is the requirement for a total of 15 years (10 in operation, maintenance, design, plus 5 in program management)?

A9. The experience requirement may be met with experience that was obtained concurrently.

Q10. Regarding the experience for Engineer (Mechanical) II … does the government require a total of 12 years’ experience to include 6 (4 with machinery systems + 2 with HM&E) plus an additional 6 with operation, maintenance and testing of Cargo Weapons Handling and Stowage Systems? Or, is the requirement for a total of 6 years within which/including in which is experience with machinery systems, HM&E systems and Cargo Handling and Stowage Systems?

A10. The experience requirement may be met with experience that was obtained concurrently.

Q11. Section C, paragraph 5.0 and 9.0 indicate the contract is SECRET as “designated on the DD Form 254”.

The DD Form 254 reflects a classification of CONFIDENTIAL. Further, Section L, clause HQ L-2-0003 indicates a classification level of CONFIDENTIAL. Please clarify.

A11. The classification level for this requirement shall be SECRET. The DD Form 254 will be corrected to indicate a SECRET clearance requirement. Section L, clause HQ L-2-0003 has been updated to reflect a classification level of SECRET.

Q12. Please clarify the applicability of clause HQ L-2-0010 Substitution of Previously Approved Single Process

Initiative listed in Section L, page 142 and Section M, page 155. If applicable, in what portion of our Technical response should this information, or non-applicability be stated?

A12. The location of the information within the proposal is at the Offeror’s discretion.

Q13. Section L, page 145, Section 2, indicates the proposal should be organized “in the following three (3) sections”. There are seven (7) sections listed. Please clarify.

A13. The three sections are as follows:

Section 1 – Introduction Section 2 – Technical Proposal Section 3 – Cost Proposal

Q14. The FACILITIES submittal requirements listed in Section L, page 145 are extensive in that the government is calling for, among other things, a “list of proposed contractor furnished equipment by shop and by facility …[to] include model numbers [and] pictures” of the equipment to demonstrate understanding of the requirements. Given the nationwide performance requirement for this solicitation, such a listing may be extensive. Will the government allow this listing to be excluded from the maximum page count of 50 pages currently established?

A14. Offerors may submit the required information as an attachment. The attachment will not be included in the

50 page limit.

Q15. The QUALITY ASSURANCE submittal requirements listed in Section L, page 145, call for submittal of the offerors ‘proposed quality assurance plan”. Will the government allow the QA Plan to be excluded from the 50 page limit?

A15. Offerors may submit the required information as an attachment. The attachment will not be included in the

50 page limit.

Q16. Factor 3, in Section L requires that small business offerors submit a Small Business Participation

Commitment Document (SBPCD) along with signed letters of commitment/intent for each proposed subcontractor listed on the SBPCD. Section M, Factor 3 establishes a Minimum Quantitative Requirement (MQR) for small business subcontracting of 40% of the total contract value. Section M states “offerors will be evaluated on the extent small businesses are used” and appears to indicate that proposals will be considered UNACCEPTABLE if they do not meet or exceed the 40% small business subcontracting goal.

FAR 15.305(a)(5), “Small business subcontracting evaluation”, requires that “Solicitations must be structured to give offers from small business concerns the highest rating for the evaluation factors in FAR 15.304(c)(3)(ii), that is, “solicitations that are not setaside for small business concerns”. Please clarify the government’s position on this matter, and/or confirm that proposals submitted by small business offerors will be given the “highest rating” for this evaluation factor regardless of the percentage proposed in the submitted SBPCD – since, as noted in the solicitation, only large businesses are required to submit an Individual Subcontracting Plan, and in accordance with the provisions of FAR 52.219-9, small businesses are exempt from the requirement to have a Small Business Subcontracting Plan.

A16. Section M - Factor 3 Small Business Participation Commitment IAW DFARS 215.304 (c)(i)(B) states that proposals addressing the extent of small business performance shall be separate from subcontracting plans submitted pursuant to the clause at FAR 52.219-9 and shall be structured to allow for consideration of offers from small businesses. The SBPCD is not based on subcontracting plan performance of subcontracting dollars. The baseline small business Minimum Quantitative Requirement (MQR) for small business is 40% of the total proposed contract value (not subcontracting dollars). Of the proposed 40% of the total contract value at least 25% shall be attributed to direct labor hours. Proposals that do not use the total proposed contract value as the base in any calculations contained in the SBPCD will be considered unacceptable. The small business concern would include its self-performance and any small business subcontracting performance calculations to meet the MQR to receive an acceptable rating.

In summary, a submission of the SBPCD applies to both small and large businesses; large business must also submit a subcontracting plan IAW FAR 52.219-9 separate from this factor.

Q17. Section L, Factor 5 – Corporate Experience directs that offerors “shall address their experience in the two

(2) technical areas specified in Paragraphs 3.0 thru 4.0 of the SOW.” Please clarify this request; there are multiple areas of technical areas of expertise in paragraph 3.0, and paragraph 4.0 is “Personnel Qualifications”.

A17. The references to “two (2)” technical areas and “paragraph 4.0” have been deleted from Section L, Factor 5

(pg. 148) of the solicitation. Offerors shall address their experience in the technical areas specified in Paragraph 3.0 of the SOW.

Q18. Section L, Factor 5 – Corporate Experience indicates that offerors “shall not provide more than five (5) contract examples to address all of the referenced Modernization Programs”. Does this limitation of five

(5) contract examples apply overall, or may an offeror submit up to five (5) for each Team Member?

Please clarify.

A18. The limitation is five (5) contract examples overall.

Q19. Section M, page 156, paragraph 2.0 Basis for Award indicates “best value proposals will be selected using a combination of technical acceptable (Factors 1 – 4) and tradeoff process (factors 5 and 6)”. This is inconsistent the Evaluation Criteria noted on page 157, paragraph 3.0 (b), which show that Factors 1 through 3 will be rate acceptable/unacceptable, and Factors 4 through 7 will be rated with a tradeoff process. Please clarify.

A19. Paragraph 2.0 “Basis for Award” has been amended to state, “The best value proposals will be selected using a combination of technical acceptable (Factors 1, 2, and 3) and tradeoff process (factors 4, 5 and 6).”

Q20. Will the required Table of Contents be counted against the page limitation of 50 pages?

A20. The table of contents will be included in the 50 page limit.

Q21. Page 7 - NOTES - 1. Contract Type - NSWC Philadelphia "proposes to award between two (2) and four (4) indefinite-delivery, indefinite quantity, cost-plus-fixed-fee type contract(s)." Does NSWC intend to set aside any of the awards for small businesses or will the contracts be awarded on an unrestricted basis?

A21. Award will be made on an unrestricted basis.

Q22. Section L, Factor 1 - Facilities, item #3, states "Provide list of proposed contractor furnished equipment by shop and by facility to be utilized during the course of the contract. The list of equipment shall include model numbers, pictures of the equipment to demonstrate its understanding and its ability to accomplish the requirements of the Statement of Work. For companies with robust facilities in multiple locations, the requirement for picture of all equipment will require a significant number of pages. This requirement puts an enormous burden on offerors with little perceived benefit to the Government. Request that the requirement be removed. If not removed, would the Government allow the information for facilities, shops, and equipment to be attached as an appendix to the proposal?

A22. Offerors may attach the information for facilities, shops, and equipment as an appendix to the proposal.

The appendix will not be counted in the 50 page limit of the technical proposal.

Q23. Section L, Factor 5, Corporate Experience instructs the offeror to address their experience in the two (2) technical areas specified in Paragraphs 3.0 thru 4.0 of the SOW. Section 3.0 contains the task areas, Section 4.0 contains personnel qualifications. Please clarify the two areas that the Corporate Experience is required to cover.

A23. See Q17 and A17.

Q24. Page 23, 4.2 NON-KEY PERSONNEL WELDER, COMBINATION, MAINTENANCE I states that the minimum education for a Welder is "Completed apprenticeship program". The Minimum Education requirements are very restrictive and eliminate a large pool of qualified candidates in the marine industry that have achieved Journeyman status through years of experience in the trade through on the job training, or military training, and did not attend formal apprenticeship training. Would the Government change the minimum education requirements for this trade to read: "Minimum Education: Apprenticeship program certificate in related field, military training programs certificate in related field, or has completed at least five years of on the job training and experience in the related field.

A24. The minimum education for the labor category of “Welder, Combination, Maintenance 1” has been amended to: “Apprenticeship program certificate in related field, military training programs certificate in related field, or has completed at least five (5) years of on the job training in addtion to the minimum experience required below.”

Q25. Page 23, 4.2 NON-KEY PERSONNEL WELDER, COMBINATION, MAINTENANCE I. Cast iron, brass, copper, bronze, magnesium, beryllium, and titanium are rarely encountered by most experienced welders and require special procedures and qualifications. How these metals and alloys react is really not in the scope of typical welder knowledge. Would the Government remove these metals from the Minimum Experience of WELDER, COMBINATION, MAINTENANCE I?

A25. The solicitation is clear on its face.

Q26. 9.0, Contractor Facilities states "Facilities are required to have secret clearance in accordance with the DD

254 form attached hereto. 5.0, Security Requirements states "The highest level of security required under this contract is SECRET as designated on the DD Form 254 to this contract." HQ L-2-0003 FACILITY SECURITY CLEARANCE (NAVSEA) (APR 2015) on page 14 of the solicitation states "(a) No award will be made to any offeror which does not possess a facility security clearance issued by the Defense Security Service at the CONFIDENTIAL level." The attached DD254 states that the Facility Clearance Required is CONFIDENTIAL. Please clarify the Facility Clearance Level required.

A26. Please see Q11 and A11.

Q27. Factor 4, Personnel (page 147) requires that "Offerors must provide the required number of resumes as outlined in the statement of work." The statement of work does not provide the number of resumes required. Please clarify the number of resumes required.

A27. Please see section L, Factor 4 - Personnel (pg. 147), “NOTE: Due to the number of hours estimated for certain Key Personnel categories, offerors are requested to submit a maximum of five (5) resumes per key labor category for evaluation purposes.”

Additionally, the following lanugage has been deleted from Factor 4 - Personnel (pg. 147): “Offerors must provide the required number of resumes as outlined in the statement of work.”

Q28. Factor 2 - Quality Assurance on page 145, asks for our proposed quality assurance plan and to indicate whether our plan has been approved "by NAVSEA 04XQ Quality Assurance Plan/Quality Management System (QMS) in accordance with NAVSEA Standard Item 009-004 or NAVSEA 04XQ0." If approved we are also required to provide the date of approval. However, it does not explicitly if providing the approval date of the plan is in lieu of submitting the plan. Please clarify. If the entire plan is required, it would be several hundred pages; should it be attached as an appendix?

A28. In accordance with Section L, Factor 2 – Quality Assurance (pg. 145), please provide both the proposed plan and indicate whether the plan has been approved. Offeror’s may submit the quality assurance plan as an attachment. The attachment will not be included in the 50 page limit.

Q29. ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN V (Electrical/Electronic). Under Target Education states "certificate of completion from a technical or military school with a mechanical oriented course of study including electronic theory and the theory of the operation and maintenance of electronics and test equipment. Should this indicate an electrical oriented course of study rather than mechanical?

A29. The solicitation is clear on its face.
