The following have been modified:

SECTION L INSTRUCTIONS

W56HZV-21-R-L041 1st Infantry Division Museum

L.1 General Proposal Information

The information contained in the General Proposal Information instructions below serves as an addendum to 52.212-

1. Additionally, as noted below, this addendum tailors 52.212-1.

Offerors are cautioned to consult the Contracting Officer IN WRITING before submitting an offer that proposes any deviations or exceptions to any of the requirements, terms, and conditions of the solicitation because it may be cause for rejection of the proposal (See Section M.2)

L.1.1 The proposal, subject to the Submission, Modification, Revision, and Withdrawal paragraph of Instructions to Offeror(s) – Commercial Items (FAR Provision 52.212-1) contained in Section L of the solicitation, shall be submitted in the format and quantities set forth below. All information necessary for the review and evaluation of a proposal is to be contained in the proposal volumes set forth below. Section M of the solicitation sets forth the evaluation criteria and delineates the Factors to be evaluated and their relative order of importance. The Offeror's proposal, as required by this section, will be evaluated as set forth in Section M of this solicitation. The Government will not assume the Offeror possesses any capability, understanding, or commitment not specified in its proposal. It is an Offeror's responsibility to submit a well-written proposal, with adequately detailed information, which clearly demonstrates an understanding of and the ability to comply with the solicitation requirements to allow for a meaningful evaluation. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals.

L.1.2 Minimum Acceptance Period.

This provision supersedes any language pertaining to the acceptance period that may appear elsewhere in this solicitation (e.g. 52.212-1(c)).

ACCEPTANCE PERIOD means the number of calendar days available to the Government for awarding a contract from the date specified in this solicitation for receipt of offers.

L.1.2.1. The Government specified minimum acceptance period of 180 calendar days.

L.1.2.2. The Offeror shall clearly state in its proposal Administrative volume the acceptance period. Offerors may specify a longer acceptance period than the Government's minimum acceptance period stated above.

L.1.2.3. An offer allowing less than the Government's minimum acceptance period, or that fails to provide a proposal acceptance period, may be rejected.

L.2 Proposal Content, Format and Instructions

L.2.1 Proposal Content

L.2.1.1 All proposals shall be in English (American Standard) and shall be in US dollars. Proposals not in English (American Standard) or in US Dollars may be rejected. The proposal shall include all information specified and shall address all requirements outlined in Section L. The Offeror's proposal shall be organized in the following volumes:

Volume Number Title Page Limit Volume 1 Past Performance Factor N/A Volume 2 Price Factor N/A Volume 3 Administrative N/A

L.2.1.2 A Proposal Executive Summary or transmittal letter is optional. It will neither be considered as part of the volumes required, nor will it be evaluated. If a Proposal Executive Summary is submitted, it should be no more than four pages in length and be submitted as part of the Administrative volume.

L.2.2 Proposal Method of Submission, Format, and Instructions

L.2.2.1 Method of Submission:

Electronic proposals submitted via E-mail or Fax, and hardcopy proposals will NOT be accepted. Hand-carried offers, whether hardcopy or electronic, will NOT be accepted.

Offerors are required to submit proposals electronically, via DoD Secure Access File Exchange (SAFE) in accordance with the following Proposal Submission Instructions and Process. Use of DoD SAFE requires the Offeror’s understanding and consent of DoD SAFE’s user behavior guidelines and all terms of use. This RFP requires use of a one-time submission code provided by the Government for tracking purposes outlined in Proposal Submission Instructions and Process below. Offerors with CAC cards may not submit a proposal via DoD SAFE without a Government provided submission code.

NOTE: In accordance with FAR 15.208, it is the responsibility of the Offeror to ensure the proposal/quote is received by the date and time specified on the cover page of this solicitation in accordance with the Instructions below. Please note that when submitting through DoD SAFE, there is no "expected" or "target" length of time for proposal submission; size and content may be factors, therefore Offerors are strongly cautioned when submitting proposals to allow adequate time for submission.

Proposal Submission Instructions and Process:

Step 1 (Offeror): Offerors shall email Ms. Kimberly Nelson (kimberly.a.nelson86.civ@mail.mil) and Ms. Meika Cole (email: meika.j.cole.civ@mail.mil) of their intent to submit a proposal and request a DoD SAFE Drop Off code. Unless otherwise specified in the request, the Government will use the email account from the request to process a Drop Off Request.

NOTE 1: It is recommended that this request be submitted no sooner than 14 days (Drop Off Requests are only valid for 14 days), and no later than 72 hours, prior to proposal due date and time.

NOTE 2: The current file limit for Drop Off is 25 files. If the Offeror intends to submit more than 25 files, it is the Offeror’s responsibility to request a 2nd Drop Off code with its request.

Step 2 (Government): The Government will send a one-time submission code through the “request a drop off” feature of DoD SAFE. For tracking purposes, the Government will only provide this to a single email account on behalf of the Offeror.

Step 3 (Offeror): The Offeror will receive an email from the DoD SAFE with a link and a one-time submission code must be used to submit a proposal for this solicitation. The Offeror opens the link and Adds Files.

Step 4 (Offeror): The Offeror submits files by clicking Drop-off File. Proposal submission does not occur until the “Drop-off File” occurs.

NOTE 3: It is highly recommended that the Offeror take a screen shot of the “Drop Off Completed” screen and email it to Ms. Meika Cole (email: meika.j.cole.civ@mail.mil).

Step 5 (Offeror): If the Offeror needs to update its submission prior to the RFP closing date, it shall follow the same steps outlined above.

L.2.2.2 Proposal Format and Instructions

L.2.2.2.1 Each submitted File shall be labeled and named so it is identifiable for which volume it pertains (example:

Volume 1, Past Performance Factor)

L.2.2.2.2 Electronic Files. The proposal electronic file name should not exceed 50 characters in length (not including the file extension). Ensure the file name does not contain any periods.

L.2.2.2.3 Acceptable File Formats. All electronic information provided in response to the solicitation must be provided in Microsoft (MS) Office 2013 compatible or Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) format or except as noted in instructions for individual volumes. For files in PDF format, scanners should be set to 200 dots per inch.

The proposal shall not contain citations for, or active links to live Internet sites or pages. All linked information shall be contained within the electronic proposal. Any linked information that is not contained in the proposal will not be accepted.

L.2.2.2.4 Unless otherwise specified, it is recommended that the proposal be formatted for 8.5 inch x 11 inch paper with a minimum font size of 10 pt. and with a minimum of .5 inch margins. Schedules, drawings and other documents more appropriate to larger size should be formatted for no larger than 8.5 inch x 14 inch dimensions.

L.2.2.2.5 Provide spreadsheets that include all formulas, function, macros, computations, or equations used to compute the proposed amounts. For each workbook, all Rows, Columns, Cells, and Worksheets are to be visible.

Do not include Zero height and zero width rows and columns in Worksheets. Do not format Worksheet cells with font color equal to the fill color. If Workbooks or Worksheets are password protected, then the passwords must be provided. Print image files or pictures or files containing only values are not acceptable. Failure to provide fully functional excel spreadsheets in the proposal may result in the proposal being rejected (See Section M.2.1(a)).

L.2.2.2.6 The Offeror shall make every effort to ensure that the proposal is virus-free. Proposals (or portions thereof) submitted which indicate the presence of a virus, or which are otherwise rendered unreadable by damage in electronic transit, shall be treated as "unreadable" as described in FAR 15.207(c).

L.2.3 Submission Due Date

The Offeror must ensure its proposal, in its entirety, reaches the required destination before the date and time set for closing of the solicitation set forth in Block 8 on the SF 1449 front page of the solicitation.

L.2.3.1 Lateness

The lateness rules for submitted proposals are outlined in FAR 52.212-1 "Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items," and are incorporated into this solicitation.

Solicitation Number: W56HZV-21-R-L041 Proposal Due Date & Time: (Refer to Standard Form 1449 (pg. 1), Block 8)

L.2.4 Proposal Modifications vs Proposal Revisions.

“Proposal modification” is a change made to a proposal before the solicitation’s closing date and time, or made in response to an amendment, or made to correct a mistake at any time before award.

“Proposal revision” is a change to a proposal made after the solicitation closing date, at the request of or as allowed by a Contracting Officer as the result of negotiations.

L.2.4.1 Offerors may submit proposal modifications at any time before the solicitation closing date and time, and may submit modifications in response to an amendment, or to correct a mistake at any time before award.

L.2.4.2 Offerors may submit proposal revisions only if requested or allowed by the Contracting Officer.

L.2.5 Single Proposal Submission

FAR 52.212-1 is tailored to remove subparagraph (e) which does not apply to this solicitation. Offerors are limited to submitting one proposal with one approach to meeting the requirements of this solicitation.

L.2.6 Organizational Conflict of Interest

L.2.6.1 The provisions of FAR 9.5, Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI), apply to any award under this Request For Proposals (RFP). Potential Offerors should review their current and planned participation in any other Government contracts, subcontracts, consulting, or teaming arrangements where they may be in a position of actual or perceived bias or unfair competitive advantage.

L.2.6.2 Offerors should disclose any potential OCI situations to the Contracting Officer as soon as identified including prior to proposal submission. The disclosure should include the facts and an analysis of the actual or perceived conflict and a recommended approach(s) to neutralize or mitigate the potential conflict. The preferred approach to potential conflicts is to negate/obviate the conflict. Mitigation is considered only if it is not practical to negate/obviate the conflict. The Contracting Officer will promptly respond to resolve any potential conflicts.

L.2.7 Restriction On Disclosure and Use of Data.

Offerors that include in their proposals data that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, shall:

L.2.7.1 Mark the title page with the following legend:

This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed -- in whole or in part -- for any purpose other than to evaluate this proposal. If, however, a contract is awarded to this Offeror as a result of -- or in connection with -- the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the Government’s right to use information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The data subject to this restriction are contained in sheets [insert numbers or other identification of sheets]; and

L.2.7.2 Mark each sheet of data it wishes to restrict with the following legend:

Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal.

L.3 All or None

FAR 52.212-1(h) is hereby tailored for this solicitation: Offers in response to this solicitation must be submitted for all the requirements identified in the solicitation. Offers submitted for less than all the requirements called for by this solicitation may be rejected or ineligible for award. Proposals that contain alternative terms and conditions may be considered as taking exception to the requirements of the solicitation. See Section M.2.

L.4 Evaluation Factors

Offeror proposals shall address the following Factors:

a. Past Performance

b. Price

L.4.1 Volume 1 – Past Performance

For the Past Performance Factor, provide information for two Recent Contracts performed by the Offeror as the prime contractor, which the Offeror considers to have relevance. These may include foreign, federal, state, local and private industry contracts. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the Offeror. It is the Offeror's responsibility to submit detailed and complete information so the Government may evaluate its Past Performance volume. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals. While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from internal and external sources other than the proposal, the burden to provide thorough and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror. The below instructions are provided to advise Offerors as to the information required by the

Government to assess the contractor’s Recent and Relevant past performance. Since this information constitutes a basis of the Government's review, it is imperative that the Offeror present its past performance in a clear and complete manner. Failure to provide the information requested under paragraph L.4.1.3 and L.4.1.4 below may result in an assessment that the Offeror does not possess a record of Recent and Relevant past performance.

For the purpose of this Factor, a Contract is defined as a written instrument that requires the performance of a distinct effort and demonstrates the distinct effort was actually performed. Written instruments containing supplies or services that can be ordered but typically do not demonstrate actual performance, such as Indefinite Delivery Contracts (FAR 16.5), Basic Ordering Agreements (BOA), Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA), and Federal Supply Schedules (FSS) do not meet the definition of a Contract. A Solicitation (RFP or Task Order Request (TOR)) also does not meet the definition of a Contract. Written instruments considered to demonstrate actual performance may include a single task or delivery order, a single work directive, or a single definite quantity contract provided it demonstrates a distinct effort was actually performed. An Offeror may submit, or the Government may require, written instruments that enhance the Government’s understanding of the distinct effort actually performed if it is not identified on the Contract itself. It is incumbent upon the Offeror to demonstrate that a distinct effort was actually performed.

L.4.1.1 Recent Contracts are those performed within 3 years of the date of issuance of this RFP.

L.4.1.2 Relevant Contracts are those comparable in scope and magnitude of effort and complexity to the following statement of work requirements:

i. Fabricate and install new exhibits in accordance with National Park Service (NPS) greater than $600,000.00.

L.4.1.3 Contract Information: Refer to the definition of a Contract above (L.4.1). The Offeror’s proposal shall substantiate what distinct effort was required and actually performed under each of the proposed Contract(s). For each Contract(s) submitted, provide the following information:

(a) Prime Contractor name and address;

(b) Contract Number (and delivery/task order number if applicable);

(c) Contract Type;

(d) Total Value of the Contract (beginning & ending value);

(e) Delivery or Performance Schedule;

(f) Government or private industry contracting activity address, telephone number and e-mail;

(g) Procuring Contracting Officers (PCO) and/or Contract Specialist’s name, or point of contact for private industry entity responsible for signing or administering the Contract, telephone number and e-mail;

(h) Government (DCMA) or private industry administrative contracting officer (ACO), contracting officer’s representative (COR), performance certifier, and/or quality assurance representative (QAR), name, telephone number and email;

(i) Specify the Government or Contractor Point(s) of Contact for which the Questionnaire was sent, and provide the date(s) it was sent.

(j) A description of the work performed by the Offeror, which shall include a narrative describing the similarities between (1) the relevant work performed under the statement of work requirements of the Offeror’s cited Contract(s) and (2) the statement of work requirements identified in L.4.2.2. In its narrative, the Offeror shall specify the location in the cited Contract’s statement of work (to include paragraph and page number) that substantiates the relevant work performed;

(k) Contract period of performance;

(l) Provide a brief self-assessment of Contract performance. The self-assessment must address performance to meet Technical and Schedule requirements; and

(m) Copy of the actual awarded Contract, Task/Delivery Order, or Work Order, containing the Contract Number and a complete Performance Work Statement (PWS) or Scope of Work (SOW) for each of the submitted Contracts. If the proposed Contract was issued under or in connection with a related written instrument (e.g. Task/Delivery Order or Work Directive issued under or in connection with Indefinite Delivery Contracts, BOA, BPA, FSS) and the details of the distinct effort actually performed needed to establish relevancy on the proposed Contract are further defined within the terms and conditions (e.g.

PWS/SOW) of that related written instrument, provide a copy of the actual associate awarded Contract and any other information necessary to establish this instrument’s relationship to the proposed Contract. (These documents can be submitted as stand-alone attachments within the proposal volume).

L.4.1.4 Associated Entity, Predecessor Company, and Joint Venture. As stated above (L.4.1), only Contracts performed by the named Offeror will be considered; however the Government may consider the past performance of an associated entity, a predecessor company, or joint venture as explained below.

L.4.1.4.1 Associated Entity. The Government may consider the past performance of an associated entity if the Offeror successfully demonstrates meaningful involvement by the associated entity in the proposed effort.

a. An associated entity may include a parent company, separate corporate division within the same parent company, subsidiary company, a legally affiliated company, etc. The Offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains the Offeror’s relationship to the associated entity. The Offeror shall support the narrative with legal documentation, including but not limited to corporate papers, establishing the legal nexus between the Offeror and the associated entity.

b. The Offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains the meaningful involvement the associated entity will provide to the proposed effort – i.e. the work to be performed by the associated entity.

Meaningful involvement may include a description of the associated entity’s resources, such as its workforce, facilities, and/or other resources that will be provided or relied upon in the proposed effort. A Contract will not be considered unless the Offeror successfully establishes meaningful involvement by the associated entity in the proposed effort.

L.4.1.4.2 Predecessor Company. The Government may consider the past performance of a predecessor company if the Offeror demonstrates the experience of the predecessor company is reasonably predictive of the Offeror’s performance under the proposed effort.

a. A predecessor company may include a company which was acquired by the Offeror or merged with the

Offeror. It may also include other instances where the predecessor company was reorganized, restructured, or otherwise altered. A predecessor company does not include an entity which remains separate and distinct from the Offeror. The Offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains the Offeror’s relationship to the predecessor company. The Offeror shall support the narrative with documentation evidencing the Offeror’s status as the successor company.

b. The Offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains why the predecessor’s past performance is predictive of the Offeror’s performance under the proposed effort. Evidence may include, but is not limited to, continuity of operations such as the continued employment of the predecessor’s employees and the transfer of assets including buildings, furnishings, and fixtures.

L.4.1.4.3 Individual Partners of a Joint Venture. If the Offeror is a Joint Venture, the Government may consider past performance of each partner of the Joint Venture and any work performed by the Joint Venture itself previously. The Offeror must successfully demonstrate meaningful involvement by the partner to the proposed effort.

a. The Offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that discloses the individual partners of the Joint

Venture and shall provide documentation evidencing the Joint Venture.

b. The Offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains the meaningful involvement the Joint Venture partner will provide to the proposed effort. Meaningful involvement may include a description of the partner’s resources, such as its workforce, facilities, and/or other resources that will be provided or relied upon in the proposed effort. A Contract will not be considered unless the Offeror successfully establishes meaningful involvement by the partner in the proposed effort.

L.4.1.5 Past Performance Questionnaire. A past performance questionnaire is provided in Attachment 004. For each contract submitted by the Offeror, the Offeror shall send a copy of the past performance questionnaire directly to the appropriate PCO and/or COR listed in L.4.1.3 (g) and (h). The Offeror shall request that these individuals complete the questionnaire and forward it electronically directly to the Government at (email: meika.j.cole.civ@mail.mil) as soon as possible and prior to the RFP closing date (See Block #8 of the SF1449 cover page to this solicitation) with the subject heading “PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION FOR [Offeror name].

L.4.2 Volume 2 - Price

In accordance with FAR 15.403-5(a)(1), certified cost or pricing data is not required for initial proposal submission.

However, after initial proposal submission, if only one offer is received, the Government reserves the right to request certified cost or pricing data in accordance with DFARS 252.215-7008.

L.4.2.3 In addition to the above information, the Government reserves the right to request additional or more detailed cost or price information to support its evaluation.

L.4.2.4 Use of Existing Government-Furnished Property (if applicable):

L.4.2.4.1 If the Offeror is proposing to utilize Government-Furnished Property (GFP) on a rent-free basis in performance of this contract, then the Offeror must provide a list of GFP that includes the following for each item:
