a) Quoters shall provide pricing for all line items

b) Refer to clause 52.219-04, of this solicitation, for the "Price Evaluation Preference" to be given to Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) small business concerns.

2. Prior Experience:

Quoters are instructed to provide information regarding 3 contracts similar in nature to the proposed contract that the Quoter has completed within the past 5 years. "Prior Experience" is differentiated from "Past Performance" in that Prior Experience is factual, documented, information about specific work the Quoter has completed; whereas “past performance” is how well the contractor performed the work.

Contracts must be those completed by the prime contractor; not subcontractor’s nor prime contractor’s staff while employed by other companies.

3. Technical Plans

Quoters are instructed to provide thorough and detailed plans, including a schedule for completing the contract. The technical plans shall layout the methods and procedures the Quoter will utilize so as to successfully complete the work. Plans shall adequately address each of the following topics in such a manner as to ensure the work will be successfully completed: Quality control, Schedule control, Proposed Project team (qualifications of key personnel & subcontractors), Work site location, Safety & Security.

4. Past Performance:

Quoters shall provide contact information for the 3 contracts noted under the Prior Experience evaluation factor above. Past performance is a measure of the degree to which the contractor has satisfied it's customers in the past. The NPS may evaluate Quoters' past performance based on contacting references provided by the quoter; the Government's knowledge of Quoter's past performance; and / or references obtained from any other source. The Government reserves the right to limit the number of references it ultimately contacts and to contact references or use sources other than those provided by Quoters to obtain information related to past performance. Other sources include, but are not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System; Federal, State or local governmental agencies; and private sector businesses.

Evaluation Method

Award will be made to the Quoter whose quote conforms to the solicitation requirements and provides the best value to the Government considering all evaluation factors detailed above. The Government may elect to accept other than the lowest priced quote when the perceived benefits of a higher priced quote merit the price differential.

SECTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park has need to temporarily relocate the historic fleet of vessels from Hyde Street Pier to Mare Island Naval Shipyard. Vessels are presently on display and partially open for public visitation at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park (SAFR), a unit of the National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior (DOI) and are located at Hyde Street Pier. Hyde Street Pier (HSP) will undergo a major renovation that will displace the fleet of historic vessels. Temporary berthing during the HSP project will be at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard (MINSY) bulkhead. Public visitation of the vessels will resume once systems and utilities are restored and NPS is satisfied with the safety and security of the berth. The two vessels included in this project are the NHL full-rigged sailing ship Balclutha and the historic sidewheel steam paddle tug Eppleton Hall.

The services required consists of interior and underwater hull survey, preparation of vessels for dead ship tow, including sealing valve openings, applying splashzone or other stabilization to areas of the hull, installing temporary lighting, pumps and other necessary equipment and tow services from Hyde Street Pier berths to temporary berthing at Mare Island Naval Shipyard (MINSY) with gangways and all support systems reinstalled. All facets of the work are governed by the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Historic Vessel Preservation Projects.

It is not intended nor desired for the vessels to transit concurrently. The schedule will require Eppleton Hall to transit first. The schedule for additional vessel transit(s) will be negotiated between the Contractor and the NPS.

The historic sailing ship Balclutha is designated a National Historic Landmark. The vessel was built in Glasgow, Scotland in 1886 of riveted steel. She is a historic full rigged sailing ship open to the public as a museum ship at SAFR.
