Total $4,018,972.00 $1,678,545.50 $5,697,517.50

PRICING OF CLINS

The contract pricing is structured into 12 Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs). The base period is covered by CLINs 0001 and 0002. Each of the four one-year option periods is likewise covered by two CLINs. The FFP / recurring work base period requirement and the overall guaranteed minimum for the contract is CLIN 0001.

CLINs 0003, 0005, 0007, 0009 and 0011 account for the recurring work requirements in each option period.

CLINs 0002, 0004, 0006, 0008, 0010 and 0012 contain non-recurring work requirements that are pre-priced as part of your offer.

The CLINs are supported by Exhibit Line Item Numbers (ELINs). Before pricing the CLINs, complete the ELIN Attachment Excel spreadsheet. Submit the completed ELIN spreadsheet electronically with your quote in Excel (Microsoft Office version 2016 compatible) format. The spreadsheet contains 12 tabs of ELINs, each corresponding to a CLIN, which must be completed. The tabs are identified, for example, as: “CLIN 0001 – Base Period Recurring, “CLIN 0002 – Base Period Non- Recurring, “CLIN 0003 - 1st Option Period Recurring, “CLIN 0004 - 1st Option Nonrecurring”, etc. ELINs with prefix “A” support the Base Period, ELINs with prefix “B” support Option Period 1, ELINs with prefix “C” support Option Period 2, ELINs with prefix “D” support Option Period 3, ELINs with prefix “E” support Option Period 4, and ELINs with prefix “F” support the FAR 52.217-8 Option Period pricing. Therefore, the total of ELINs A001 through A002 will be the amount you should enter in CLIN 0001. The total of A700 through A722 will be the amount you should enter in CLIN 0002. The total of B001 through B002 will be the amount you should enter in CLIN 0003. The total of B700 through B722 will be the amount you should enter in CLIN 0004. Continue pricing accordingly and make sure that the total of each tab of ELINs is equal to its corresponding CLIN value entered. The total of all ELINs should equal the total of CLINs 0001 through 0012.

MAXIMUM NOT TO EXCEED (NTE) AND MIN GUARANTEE

The maximum NTE value of an ordering period is the total of all the CLINs in that ordering period. The maximum or NTE value of the contract is the total value of all CLINs in the Schedule. Orders shall not be made that exceed the maximum NTE value for any ordering period. The maximum NTE value of an ordering period and of the contract may be increased by written modification to the contract in conjunction with any modification that increases the value of an existing task order that is authorized by a contract clause. Orders in excess of the estimated quantity set forth for any particular CLIN shall not be exceeded without the Contractor’s agreement which shall be indicated by signing or beginning performance of the order.

Concurrently with the award of the basic contract, the Government intends to issue a task order to obligate the contract minimum guarantee for:

CLIN 0001, Base Period Recurring Work;

Minimum guarantees do not apply to the option periods.

PROCEDURES. In the case of unsatisfactory or non-performed work, the Government:

1. may give the Contractor written notice of observed deficiencies prior to withholding payment for unsatisfactory or non-performed work and/or assessing liquidated damages. Such written notice shall not be a prerequisite for withholding payment for non-performed work. The Government may specify, as provided for below, that liquidated damages can be assessed against the Contractor. Such liquidated damages are to compensate the Government for administrative costs and other expenses resulting from the unsatisfactory or non-performed work.

2. may, at its option, allow the Contractor an opportunity to re-perform the unsatisfactory or non- performed work, at no additional cost to the Government. In the case of daily work, corrective action must be completed within 4 hours of notice to the Contractor. In the case of other work, corrective action must be completed within 24 hours of notice. In addition, the Government can assess liquidated damages, as referenced above, in the amount of 10 percent of the value of all observed defects.

If the actual costs cannot be readily determined, the prices set out in the Schedule will be used as the basis for the deduction. In addition, the Government can assess liquidated damages, as referenced above, in the amount of 10 percent of the computed cost.

(a) The Contractor is responsible for maintaining an effective Quality Control Program during the course of the contract. Failure to maintain adequate quality control may result in Termination for Default.

ESTIMATING NONPERFORMED WORK

In the event the price of non-performed or unsatisfactory work cannot be determined from the prices set out in the Schedule, or on the basis of the actual cost to the Government, estimating methods may be used to determine an amount, which reflects the reduced value of services performed. The Government may estimate the cost using wage rates and fringe benefits included in the wage determinations included in the contract, Government estimates of the Contractor’s overhead and profit rates, and Government estimates of material costs if applicable. Liquidated damages, to compensate the Government for administrative costs and other expenses resulting from the nonperformed or unsatisfactory performance, will be calculated in accordance with the CONSEQUENCES OF

State a clear acknowledgement within the beginning of the binder that nothing in the following proposal is meant to supersede or reduce any of the individual requirements to which the offer addresses. It is the Government’s intent to incorporate the offeror’s proposal into the final contract while at the same time eliminating any contradictory or conflicting requirements between the two. In the event of a conflict between any part or parts of the offer and part or parts of the requirement, the government has the right to selectively choose that part or those parts which are the more advantageous of the two.

(5) Offerors are cautioned that “parroting” of the Performance Work

Statement Performance Objectives with a statement of intent to perform does not reflect an understanding of the requirement or capability to perform.

BASIS FOR AWARD

1. The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contract; to negotiate with offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contract to the offeror submitting the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer.

2. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors

(except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In addition, in accordance with NPGI 15.101-2, the number of proposals to be evaluated for technical acceptability may be limited to the lowest priced offer at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. If the number of proposals to be evaluated is limited, the technical proposal shall be provided to the evaluator(s) without any identification of price. If the lowest priced proposal is not found to be technically acceptable then the next lowest price proposal shall be evaluated. If that proposal is also not found to be technically acceptable, then the process described will be conducted again as many times as necessary, until such time as the Government identifies a technically acceptable proposal. If the contracting officer later determines that discussions are necessary, the procedures in FAR 15.306 shall be followed.

3. 3. The LPTA process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition because the best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price.

4. An overall non-price factors rating must be at least “ACCEPTABLE” in order to be eligible for award. An “UNACCEPTABLE” rating in any factor results in the overall non-price factors proposal being rated “UNACCEPTABLE” unless corrected through discussions. An overall non-price factors rating of “UNACCEPTABLE” makes a proposal ineligible for award.

PRICING DISCREPANCIES

In the event there is a difference between the unit prices and extended total amounts, the unit price will be held to be the intended offer and total of the CLIN or ELIN/Sub-ELIN will be recomputed accordingly. The CLIN which includes the recomputed ELIN/Sub-ELIN will also be recomputed to take into account the change in the ELIN/Sub- ELIN.

If the offeror provides a total amount for a CLIN or ELIN/Sub-ELIN but fails to enter the unit price, the total amount divided by the CLIN/ELIN/Sub-ELIN quantity will be held to be the intended unit price.

In the event there is a discrepancy between the ELIN pricing and the CLIN price, the ELIN pricing will be held to be the intended offer.
