Proposal Preparation Prepare the proposal simply and economically and provide a straightforward and concise presentation of the information requested in the Request for Proposal. Emphasize completeness and clarity. Do not submit elaborate brochures or other presentations that are neither required nor desired by the HMIS.

If the Offeror submits any data which it considers proprietary data as part of its proposal, the document transmitting the data or which contains the data, shall be boldly marked indicating that the data included is considered proprietary.

Proposal Content Proposals shall include the following elements and be organized in the manner listed below. Each volume of the proposal should be separate and complete. Omit all cost or pricing details from the technical proposal.

Volume I Technical Proposal Requirements HMIS will evaluate Offeror’s technical capabilities/qualifications, as well as its pricing for the requirements as specified in the Statement of Work. Offeror’s proposal must address the following:

• An acknowledgement that the Statement of Work is fully understood, and that the Offeror has resources qualified to perform the work.

• Resumes of all individual(s) who will be performing work and charging hours to the subcontract. **If Subcontractor does not have staff that includes archaeologists and architectural historian, please provide a proposal for staff that is available. If subcontractor does not have staff to cover the estimated hours, please provide proposal for hours that are available.

• Labor matrix outlining the proposed labor categories needed to support the project including job descriptions for each category.

• If applicable, describe project organization structure that identifies relationships between the Prime Offeror, teaming partners, lower-tier subcontractors and proposed Key Personnel.

• If applicable, identify all parent, affiliate, and subsidiary companies’ organizations, or divisions that will participate in work under the Subcontract under Offeror’s proposal, if applicable; Offeror’s relationship with each; and the particular role, work, or support Offeror proposes each will provide.

• Statement of compliance with subcontract insurance requirements as specified in the On-Site Work Provisions, including confirmation that all required insurance certificates will be provided prior to any on-site work.

• All Exhibits completed and signed.

Volume II Required Price Support Information The Offeror is required to submit information sufficient to determine that the prices or costs being charged are fair and reasonable. Such information may include pricing, sales, or cost information that is pertinent to establishing the pricing or costs being charged.

• Exhibit 001 Compensation

• While overtime is not expected for this subcontract, please provide overtime rates for use in case of emergency.

All hours worked beyond eighty (80) hours in a two-week period (overtime) must be approved by the Procurement Specialist or BTR/BTR designee per section G.1 in draft award.

The Offeror grants the Buyer or its authorized representative(s) the right to examine, at any time before award, books, records, documents, or other directly pertinent records to verify the reasonableness of the price. For items priced using catalog or market prices, or law and regulation, access does not extend to cost or profit information or other data relevant solely to the Offeror’s determination of the prices to be offered in the catalog or marketplace.

Any Subcontract that results from this Request for Proposal will be determined by the price the Offeror pays for material (without profit applied) plus fully burdened hourly labor rates, multiplied times the number of hours worked. Upon mutual agreement, this schedule of costs and rates will be the basis for pricing on any resulting Subcontract.

Volume III Pricing Backup Upon Buyer’s determination of a successful Offeror, Buyer may request audited company financial reports for the previous three (3) year period, including balance sheets and income statements. The successful Offeror shall provide such information within 48 hours of the request.

In the event audited company financial reports are not consistent with the Offeror’s customary accounting practice and in the absence of certified statements, the Buyer may request the following, listed in order of preference:

1. Parent guarantee;

2. Bond;

3. Irrevocable letter of credit;

4. Submission of uncertified financial statements, which shall be certified as being accurate and complete by an agent of Offeror’s company, which may be subject to HMIS verification with the Internal Revenue Service

(IRS).

If the selected successful Offeror is unable to provide the information required within the time frame identified or if the Buyer is unable to determine the successful Offeror as financially responsible for award of the Subcontract, Buyer, in its sole determination, may select another successful Offeror for the award.

Request for Schedule of Cost and Rates This is not a request for cost or pricing data, but notification to all Offerors that this information may be required prior to award unless the Subcontract is determined by the Buyer to be exempt from the requirements of 10 USC 2306(a).

Itemized Labor and Material Cost Any Subcontract that results from this Solicitation will be determined by the price the Offeror pays for material (without profit applied) plus fully burdened hourly labor rates, multiplied times the number of hours worked. Upon mutual agreement, this schedule of costs and rates will be the basis for pricing on any resulting Subcontract.

Evaluation of Options Except when it is determined not to be in HMIS’ best interest, HMIS evaluates offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirements. Evaluation of options will not obligate HMIS to exercise the option(s).

HMIS analyzes bids to determine whether prices are unbalanced and may reject a proposal offer as nonresponsive if it determines that the proposal is materially unbalanced. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques.

Representations and Certifications HMIS relies upon Offeror’s current representations and certifications within a Federal web-based system, the System for Award Management (SAM), that centralizes and standardizes the collection, storage and viewing of many of the representations and certifications required by the Federal Acquisition Regulations.

By submitting a proposal to HMIS in response to this solicitation, the Offeror is certifying that:

The representation and certification information in SAM is accurate and complete as of the date of the offer.

All statements and explanatory documentation submitted are current and accurate.

Offeror complies with all requirements of State of Washington statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, codes, and orders related to equal employment opportunity and operation of non-segregated facilities.

All Offeror employees who may work on HMIS premises or on the Hanford Site are not under the influence of controlled substances, drugs, or alcohol. Offeror agrees to the testing of assigned employees under HMIS program for controlled substances.

Offeror’s information in the Buyer registration system is current, accurate and complete and is no greater than 12 months old.

Offeror will update its information in SAM on at least an annual basis.

Provided, attempted to provide, or offered to provide, any kickback.

Has not solicited, accepted, or attempted to accept any kickback.

Included, directly or indirectly, the amount of any kickback, in the Subcontract price proposed by the Offeror to the Buyer. (For definition of the term kickback, see 41 U.S.C. § 8701(2), Title 41 U.S.C. Chapter 87, Sections 701 and 8702).

By submitting a proposal in response to this solicitation, Offeror agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer for any and all liability, loss, damages, penalties, claims, costs, and expenses, including attorney fees and costs of legal action, litigation, or settlement, arising from or relating to Offeror’s failure to certify or false certification of compliance with any requirements of this Section, regardless of whether the failure or false certification was willful, intentional, or knowing.

Employment Eligibility Verification (E-Verify) HMIS anticipates that this award will be subject to the Employment Eligibility Verification requirements established in Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) clause 52.222-54, which requires the successful Offeror to enroll and utilize the E-Verify program. Enrollment is completed via the Internet at the Department of Homeland Security Web site at http://www.dhs.gov/E-Verify. This requirement is applicable to awards with a value greater than $3,500 and considered commercial or noncommercial Services (except for commercial Services that are part of the purchase of a Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) item (or an item that would be a COTS item, but for minor modifications) performed by the COTS provider and are normally provided for that COTS item) or Construction. Subcontractors who are only suppliers are not subject to E-Verify.

http://www.dhs.gov/E-Verify

Buyer reserves the right, prior to award, to require Offeror to submit information which Buyer will use to make a determination whether Offeror has successfully enrolled in the E-Verify program. Such information may include a copy of the last three (3) pages of the enrollment form (i.e., pages 11, 12, and 13) and any other information that may be required to make the appropriate determination. Offeror agrees to promptly provide such information upon request and prior to award. If Buyer requests such information, award shall be conditioned on Offeror’s submission of information Buyer deems acceptable.

By submitting a proposal in response to this solicitation, Offeror agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer for any and all liability, loss, damages, penalties, claims, costs, and expenses, including attorney fees and costs of legal action, litigation, or settlement, arising from or relating to Offeror’s failure to certify or false certification of compliance with any requirements of this Section, regardless of whether the failure or false certification was willful, intentional, or knowing.

Additional Information In order for HMIS to adequately evaluate the proposal, some additional information is required. Please complete and return all forms and documents listed in Exhibits of this Request for Proposal.

Acceptance of Terms and Conditions and Technical Requirements The subcontract resulting from this Request for Proposal will be substantially the same as the draft Subcontract. Offeror must describe any exceptions (on the Agreement Exceptions Exhibit form) to the terms and conditions and technical requirements. HMIS considers compliance with the terms and conditions and technical requirements of the Subcontract to be essential. In case of doubt, Offeror should request clarification from the Procurement Specialist. If any exceptions are taken to the terms and conditions and/or technical requirements of the Solicitation, the pricing shall be based on the requirements of the Solicitation and the exception(s) priced as alternates. If the proposal is based only on the proposed exceptions, HMIS may determine the proposal to be non-responsive.

Unless otherwise noted in the proposal, Offeror’s submission of a proposal signifies unqualified acceptance of all of the terms and conditions and technical requirements of the Subcontract that are contained in or referenced in this Solicitation.

Proposal Validity Period Offeror’s proposal shall remain firm for 60 days after the proposal due date.

Financial Capability Determination Information HMIS reserves the right, prior to award, to require Offeror to submit information which HMIS will use to make a determination whether Offeror has the financial capability to perform the contemplated subcontract. Such information may include, but not be limited to: annual reports; lines of credit with financial institutions and suppliers; and any other information that may be required to make the appropriate determination.

Value-Added Resellers HMIS desires to provide the highest value to its customers by working with value-added resellers. These are companies that offer support when requested for the commodity sold to HMIS. This support can take many forms such as planning, consulting, technical ordering assistance based on experience, troubleshooting, receipt assistance or corrections, shipment tracking, training, education on new products, providing usage tracking and reporting, emergency and warranty assistance.

Resellers who are unable to provide such support may not be considered for award. If in the event that the Subcontractor cannot provide any of the support in this clause, the Subcontract will be cancelled and awarded to the next qualified Subcontractor.

If the Offeror intends to propose any foreign national (non-US citizen) personnel, that information must be a part of the Offeror’s proposal. They will be processed in accordance with HMIS Unclassified Visits and Assignments by Foreign Nationals procedures prior to commencement of the work.

Proprietary Data Submittals If Offeror submits any data which is considered to be “Proprietary Data,” the document transmitting the data, or which contains the data, shall be boldly marked indicating that the data is considered proprietary.

Exhibit 008 – Agreement, Exceptions, and Assumptions

Any agreement, exceptions, and/or assumptions to the proposed subcontract terms and conditions, Request for Proposal and/or Statement of Work must be indicated below. Hanford Mission Integration Solutions, LLC (HMIS or Buyer), however, reserves the right to disqualify offers which deviate from the Solicitation. If the Offeror has no exceptions or assumptions, please write “None” below.

Exhibit 009 – Organizational Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement It is Hanford Mission Integration Solutions, LLC (HMIS or Buyer) Hanford Mission Integration Solutions, LLC (HMIS or Buyer) policy to avoid situations, which place an Offeror in a position wherein it may not be able to compete on an equal basis for Buyer’s-controlled work with other qualified Offerors. This representation, and the information disclosed thereby, will serve to advise Buyer whether or not an Offeror's judgment may be biased because of any past, present, or currently planned interest, financial or otherwise, the Offeror may have or appear to have which relates to the work to be performed under a subcontract which may result from this solicitation, thus providing the Offeror an unfair competitive advantage over others. The term "Offeror" herein means the proposing entity or any of its affiliates or proposed consultants or Subcontractors of any tier. Therefore:

Offeror shall provide Buyer a statement which describes in a concise manner, all relevant facts concerning any past, present, or currently planned interest (financial, contractual, organizational, or otherwise) relating to the work described in the statement of work of this solicitation. Offeror may also provide relevant facts that show how its organizational structure and/or management systems limit its knowledge of affiliates or other divisions or sections of the proposing entity and how that structure or system would avoid or mitigate an organizational conflict of interest.

Offeror shall assure that any consultants and/or Subcontractors identified in its proposal which will perform part or all of any resulting subcontract submit the same information as required above, either as part of the Offeror’s proposal or directly to Buyer, prior to the time and date set forth for the receipt of proposals, including identification of the solicitation number and the (Offeror's) proposal to which it relates.

Offeror shall assure that each of its chief officers or directors, if any, who will be directly involved in the actual performance of the subcontract, submit such information.

Offeror shall promptly provide to Buyer information concerning any changes, including additions, in its relevant facts reported, that occur between the time of submission of its proposal and the award of a subcontract or the time the Offeror is notified that it is no longer being considered for an award.

Buyer will review the information submitted and may require additional relevant information or certifications from the Offeror. All such information, and any other relevant information known to Buyer , will be used to determine whether an award to the Offeror may create an organizational conflict of interest with respect to the Offeror's (1) bias caused by financial, contractual, organizational, or other interests which relate to the work to be performed under the subcontract, resulting in Offeror being unable to render impartial, technically sound, and objective assistance or advice, or (2)obtaining an unfair competitive advantage over other parties. If Buyer determines a conflict exists which would require some action to mitigate an actual or potential conflict of interest that would otherwise represent an unacceptable risk to Buyer, it may, at its sole discretion: (1) impose appropriate terms or conditions necessary to avoid or mitigate the conflict, (2) disqualify the offer, or (3) proceed with an award despite the conflict.

Offeror refusal to submit the representation and/or to provide the disclosure or any additional information requested by Buyer may result in disqualification of the Offeror for an award. Misrepresentation of material facts or other reported information may also result in disqualification. If any such misrepresentation is discovered following award, Buyer may terminate the contract for default or seek other remedies including actions pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 1001.

Depending on the nature of the subcontract activities, Offeror may, because of the existence of possible organizational conflicts of interest, propose to exclude specific kinds of work from the statement of work contained in the original solicitation, unless the solicitation specifically prohibits such exclusion. Any proposed exclusion may be considered by Buyer in the evaluation of proposals but may ultimately determine the proposal to be unacceptable.

No work shall be performed, and Buyer will not authorize work to begin, until representations and disclosure information has been evaluated. Buyer may also, at its option, permit missing representations or disclosure information to be provided by an Offeror at any time during the pre-award process.

In lieu of or in addition to the above and/or when requested by Buyer, Offeror shall provide a certification similar to the following, altered only to reflect the relevant facts:

ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

I hereby certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, no facts exist relevant to any past, present, or currently planned interest or activity (financial, contractual, personal, organizational, or otherwise) that relate to the proposed work; and bear on whether I and the Offeror have a possible conflict of interest with respect to being able to render impartial, technically sound, and objective assistance or advice, or being given unfair competitive advantage.

Definitions

As used in FAR 52.204-10:

Executive means officers, managing partners, or any other employees in management positions.

First-tier subcontract means a subcontract awarded directly by the Contractor for the purpose of acquiring supplies or services (including construction) for performance of a prime contract. It does not include the Contractor's supplier agreements with vendors, such as long-term arrangements for materials or supplies that would benefit multiple contracts and/or the costs of which are normally applied to a Contractor’s general and administrative expenses or indirect cost.

Total compensation means the cash and noncash dollar value earned by the executive during the Contractor's preceding fiscal year and includes the following (for more information see 17 CFR 229.402(c)(2)):

(1) Salary and bonus.

(2) Awards of stock, stock options, and stock appreciation rights. Use the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the fiscal year in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.

(3) Earnings for services under non-equity incentive plans. This does not include group life, health, hospitalization or medical reimbursement plans that do not discriminate in favor of executives and are available generally to all salaried employees.

(4) Change in pension value. This is the change in present value of defined benefit and actuarial pension plans.

(5) Above-market earnings on deferred compensation which is not tax-qualified.

(6) Other compensation, if the aggregate value of all such other compensation (e.g., severance, termination payments, value of life insurance paid on behalf of the employee, perquisites, or property) for the executive exceeds $10,000.
