Q4. Can the offeror indicate travel as not separately priced (NSP) on the CLIN?

A4. Please propose each CLIN in accordance with the RFP.

Q5. How will repairs over $1500 but below $2500 be addressed?

A5. PWS was incorrect and has been updated anything over $2500 is turned-in to NAVSUP.

Q6. Would the Government consider using the Over & Above CLIN for the Power Section Overspeed (3.6.1.5-Over-Speed Power Sections)?

A6. Government concurs with the language below:

The high cost associated with an over-speed condition increases the proposal risk and the planned to repair. This will increase the proposal price due to the uncertainty as it is disproportionally high as compared to the average repair cost.

Q7. Would the Government provide the historical frequency (by year) of Power Section Over-Speed events by engine type?

A7. The Government can provide this data; the estimate is 1 every 5 years.

Q8. What is the planned T/M/S engine inductions by year?

A8. The planned T/M/S inductions per year are as follows:

INSTRUCTIONS AND CONDITIONS

PART A GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 GENERAL

The Offeror is required to submit sufficient information concerning the following areas to enable Government personnel to fully ascertain capabilities of the Offeror to perform the requirements. The proposal must be sufficient in detail and scope to permit evaluation and provide the evaluators a clear understanding of the Offeror’s capability to meet or exceed the defined elements as required by the solicitation. All proposals must clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of the requirements and associated risks. Offeror must respond to all requirements of the solicitation and not alter or rearrange the solicitation. The Offeror is advised that the Government may incorporate any portions of the Offerors proposal deemed beneficial to the Government. With the exception of the Price/Cost volume, no cost or pricing information should appear in any volume.

In presenting material in the proposal, the Offeror is advised that quality of information is more important than quantity. Clarity, brevity, and logical organization should be emphasized during proposal preparation. The Offeror shall present sufficient information to allow the Government to evaluate the proposed work effort, support, and approach, as well as the price/cost proposal without opening discussions. Statements that the prospective Offeror understands, can comply with or will comply with, the specifications, and paraphrasing the requirements or parts thereof without supporting information are considered inadequate by the Government, and may result in a rating of unacceptable.

The Offeror must include any data that illustrates the adequacy of the various assumptions, approaches, and solutions to problems. Failure to address a specific factor or subfactor clearly may be considered a deficiency. Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentation materials beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal is neither necessary nor desired.

Offeror is expected to comply with all requirements of the RFP. The Government advises the Offeror that taking exception or deviating from any term or condition of the RFP may make an offer unacceptable, and the proposal unawardable, unless the RFP expressly authorizes such an exception or deviation with regard to that specific term or condition. The Government may consider any exception or deviation to any term or condition of the RFP that is not expressly authorized by the RFP to be a deficiency.

Throughout these instructions, a “principal subcontractor” is defined as a subcontractor who provides at least 10% of the proposed total price/cost (excluding the Offerors profit/fee), for the contract. “Team member” is defined one of the entities that make up a joint venture (JV) or any other partnership or teaming arrangement formed for the purpose of responding to this solicitation. “Critical team member” is defined as one of the entities of the Offeror that perform a critical function in the performance of the resulting contract, whether it is technical or financial, and/or that have important roles in any high- or medium- risk areas identified in the Offeror’s proposal.

Questions: Offerors may submit questions requesting clarification of solicitation requirements by emailing the contract specialist at robert.megill@navy.mil and the Procuring Contracting Officer at colleen.reilly1@navy.mil.

3.0 PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME

3.1 General

The Offeror shall identify on the Past Performance Matrix (as identified in 3.1(a) below) any contracts performed within five years of the RFP release date which contains efforts similar to those performed by the Offeror, the Offeror's principal subcontractors, and the Offeror's critical team members in solicitation. E.g., tasks, complexity, contract type, contract dollar value, etc. Offerors shall not reference an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract without referencing the appropriate task orders containing the effort similar in nature to this requirement. Commercial contracts may be included. In general, recent performance will be considered more relevant than older performance. When possible, the Past Performance Matrix should include at least five of the most relevant contracts for the prime contractor, five of the most relevant contracts for each critical team member, and two of the most relevant contracts for each principal subcontractor. If fewer than five past performance references are available for team members (i.e., entities that make up a JV or any other partnership or teaming arrangement), each member should submit five references individually in addition to their team member references.

For each contract identified, provide contract data, relevancy, past performance, and systemic improvement information as described below. Demonstrate the relevancy of the Offeror's, and if applicable, the Offeror's principal subcontractors' or critical team members' past performance, as well as demonstrated systemic improvements with respect to the solicitation requirements. For each past performance problem identified, describe the status of the demonstrated systemic improvement efforts and, where applicable, demonstrate the impact that the demonstrated systemic improvement effort had on resolving the problem such that it would not reoccur.

The Past Performance Information Application (PPIA) will be used to evaluate Past Performance. For contracts that have CPARS Reports or similar reports that are more than six months old, e.g., the completion date is more than six months before the due date for this Past Performance Volume, the Offeror will forward a copy of the CPARS Update Questionnaire (Attachment((2)) to that contract customer's Program Manager. For all contracts identified which do not have CPARS Reports, the Offeror will forward a copy of the Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment (1)) to that contract customer's PCO, Administrative Contracting Officer, and Program Manager. All questionnaires shall be forwarded within two weeks from the RFP release date with enough lead-time so that responses can be received by the Government concurrently with the Government's receipt of the Offeror's Past Performance information submitted as per paragraph 4.1 and 4.2 The Offeror shall include instructions for the customers to send completed questionnaires within two weeks of its receipt via e-mail to Colleen Reilly, PCO, at Email colleen.reilly1@navy.mil, and to Robert Megill, Contract Specialist, at Email. robert.megill@navy.mil thereby allowing the customer approximately two weeks to complete their response. This submittal information is provided at the top of the questionnaires to facilitate the Offeror's effort in meeting these instructions. The Offeror shall not conduct follow-up actions with regard to this questionnaire. The Government may send any other questionnaires as necessary.

The Offeror shall provide written consent from their principal subcontractors and critical team members that will allow the Government to coordinate their Past Performance issue(s) with the Offeror. If the Offeror does not submit such written consent, then the Government will address any past performance issues directly with the principal subcontractor or critical team member and the Offeror will forfeit the opportunity to participate in any related discussions. Consequently, for any principal subcontractors and critical team members that do not provide such written consent, provide a point of contact (name, address, phone number, and email address) with whom the Government may coordinate these issues and obtain any responses as needed.

The Government may use information other than that provided by the Offeror in their proposals to evaluate past performance. The Government may use Past Performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the Offeror. It is incumbent upon the Offeror to explain the relevancy of the data provided by the Offeror. The Government has no duty to search for data to cure the problems it finds in the information provided by the Offeror. The Offeror has the burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information.

(a) Contract Data - Provide all the information identified below separately for each contract. Additionally, provide this information electronically as a separate file on CD-ROM, which contains Offeror's Past Performance proposal in a Word Table in the format depicted below:

If applicable, Offeror's labor classifications should cross-reference to Department of Labor (DOL) wage determination classifications as much as possible. In addition, the Offeror shall provide a percentage breakdown of the Offeror's indirect costs and burdens added to the Government estimates for any and all Cost Reimbursable CLINs in Section B. Section B prices shall be provided separately in one digital data copy in MS Office 2010 Excel format on CD-ROM media. Within all Excel spreadsheets, the Offeror shall use formulas and functions to the maximum extent possible and avoid using output type “value only” cells. If links are utilized, supply those referenced files. Spreadsheets shall not be protected.

(b) All price/cost and price/cost supporting information shall be contained in section B and the price/cost proposal. No price or pricing information shall be included in any other technical volume including cover letters. Offerors are responsible for submitting sufficient information to enable the Government to fully evaluate their price/cost proposal.

4.2 Ground Rules and Assumptions:

(a) As this is a competitive acquisition with adequate price competition anticipated, any price/cost documentation requested shall not be certified cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.403-1. However, in the event that adequate price competition does not exist after receipt of proposals, the Government reserves the right to request additional cost or pricing data as necessary from both the Offeror and subcontractors and may conduct negotiations with the Offeror, pursuant to FAR Part 15.403-4, in order to ensure a reasonable and realistic price/cost. Further, the Offeror may be required to provide a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data prior to award, pursuant to FAR 15.406-2. Offeror shall acknowledge the requirement to provide additional cost or pricing information and certify the data prior to award if/when requested by the Government.

(b) The Offeror shall provide sufficient information to support its price/cost as well as an explanation of all ground rules and assumptions that affect the price/cost estimates.

The Offeror shall provide the proposed price for each CLIN. The offeror shall provide an explanation of all ground rules and assumptions that affect price.

4.3.2 Labor Hour CLINs

4.3.2.1 The Offeror shall provide the proposed price for each CLIN. The offeror shall provide an explanation of all ground rules and assumptions that affect the price estimates.

CLIN Estimated Amount = Evaluated Price = Unit Price multiplied by Estimated Quantity (QTY)

4.3.3 Cost Reimbursable CLINs

4.3.3.1 The Offeror shall provide an explanation of all ground rules and assumptions that affect the price estimates. The proposed cost shall be the Government estimated amount plus any Offeror burdens applied. The Offeror shall not add any additional direct costs to the Government Estimated Amount. The Offeror shall clearly show the total burden rate, and the individual cost elements that make up the total burden rate. If the Offeror chooses not to burden the Government estimated amount, then the Offeror shall propose an H-clause to identify this special term and condition. Fee or profit are not allowable on Cost Reimbursable CLINs and will not be included as part of the burden rate.

For CLINs 0X10, travel, the Government will reimburse the Contractor for travel and per diem costs on the basis of maximum allowable actual costs incurred up to the daily equivalent allowed for a Government employee IAW the Department of Defense (DOD) Civilian Personnel Joint Travel Regulations and the Federal Travel Regulations, prescribed by the General Services Administration, and the Standardized Regulations (Government Civilians, Foreign Areas), as prescribed by the Department of State.

4.3.3.2 Example Evaluated Price and Calculation

Example calculation for Cost Reimbursable CLINs 0X11 (Material in Support of Minor Repair)

Example calculation for Cost Reimbursable CLINs 0X10 (Travel)

- A complete description of the required GFE/GFI including part number and serial number, if applicable.

- Where the GFE/GFI is to be located.

- The name, organization, complete address and telephone number of a cognizant Government point of contact.

Attachment (4), “Scheduled Government-Furnished Property (SGFP)”, specifies the Government Property to be furnished. If no GFE/GFI/GFP is required, the Offeror shall so state.

4.5 Other Costs

The Offeror shall identify additional costs that would be incurred that have not been identified in the solicitation and describe in detail the performance that would cause these costs. Also, describe any assumptions with regard to Government actions (e.g., providing resources whether it be equipment or people) that enabled the proposed price/cost to be lower and identify the amount by which it is lower.

5.0 EXCEPTIONS, DEVIATIONS AND WAIVERS VOLUME:

In this Volume, the Offeror must state that its offer contains all exceptions, deviations, and waivers that the Offeror takes from the provisions of the solicitation and its applicable documents. An “exception” is where an Offeror states it will not comply with a requirement, usually involving contract terms and conditions. A “deviation” is where an Offeror states it will not comply with a requirement but proposes an alternative to meet the intent of the requirement, usually involving a specification. A “waiver” is where an Offeror requests authorization for the Government to accept an item, which will depart from, specified requirements, but would nevertheless be considered suitable. Exceptions, deviations, and requests for waivers may cause proposals to be considered deficient.

Provide a detailed description for each exception, deviation, or request for waiver, as applicable. The Offeror shall indicate the Offerors difficulty with the applicable requirement and the Offeror's proposed solution. The Offeror shall specifically identify the portion of the solicitation and the Offeror's proposal which are affected. If there are no exceptions, deviations or waivers, the Offeror shall provide a one-page Volume 5.0 in the Executive Summary stating so.
