The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer is the lowest price and technically acceptable. Technical acceptance will be evaluated based on the offeror's responses to Attachment 0001 - Comply Sheet for specification #34-17-3426 - New Tube Abrasive Blasting Machine WVA.xls, which will be included with the solicitation.

8. PROPOSAL EVALUATION METHOD

Total Evaluated Price. The offeror shall input pricing for CLINS 0001 and 0002 in the solicitation and sum the two CLIN prices on the pricing page for a Total Evaluated Price. The offeror with the lowest Total Evaluated Price will proceed to an evaluation of the other factors.

Proposals will be evaluated as follows:

STEP 1 - Each proposal will be evaluated to determine the Total Evaluated Price. The Government will identify the proposal with the lowest Total Evaluated Price.

STEP 2 The proposal with the lowest Total Evaluated Price will be evaluated against the Technical – Compliance to Specification factor (See Attachment 001 Compliance sheet for SPEC #34-17-3426) Provided that the proposal is determined to be Technically Acceptable under the Technical –Compliance to Specification Factor and the offeror is determined responsible per FAR 9.104, the proposal will be selected for award.

If the proposal is determined to be Technically Unacceptable under the Technical – Compliance to Specification Factor, the Proposal will not be eligible for award, and the Government will return to Step 1, to begin the process with the next lowest total evaluated priced proposal.

9. A responsive proposal to this solicitation will contain the following:

For technical assistance in doing business with the Government, and doing business electronically, please visit the Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) website at <http://www.aptacus.org/> to locate a regional center.

11. Rejection of Offers

11.1 Offerors must carefully read understand, and provide all the information requested in the Notice to Offerors.

11.1.1 The proposal fails to meaningfully respond to requirements specified in the Notice to Offerors of this solicitation. Examples of failure to meaningfully respond include:

11.1.1.1 A proposal merely offers to perform work according to the solicitation terms or fails to present more than a statement indication its capability to comply with the solicitation terms and does not provide an elaboration as specified in the Notice to Offerors section of this solicitation;

11.1.1.2 A proposal fails to provide any of the data and information required by the Notice to Offerors;

11.1.1.3 A proposal provides some data but omits significant material data and information required by the Notice to Offerors;

11.1.1.4 A proposal merely repeats the contract PWS without elaboration.

11.1.2 The proposal takes exception to the attachments, exhibits, enclosures, or other solicitation terms and conditions.

11.1.3 The proposal is unbalanced as to price. An unbalanced offer is one which is (a) based on prices significantly high or low for one given period versus another period; or (b) the price of one or more contract line item is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques. There must be a direct relationship between the effort expended and its cost or price for each year and each CLIN. The PCO may reject a proposal which is deemed unbalanced.

3.1.15 Pneumatic Requirements. If air is needed for any machine operation or function, the machine shall be fully equipped with all necessary piping, valving, regulators, etc., fully installed to the point of connection to which the Arsenal will connect shop air. Available shop air at the Arsenal is 85 psi and if higher or lower pressure is needed at the machine, the machine shall be fully equipped with the devices needed to modify the 85 psi supply pressure. The machine shall also be equipped with devices to remove the normal moisture and other contaminants usually present in shop air supplies. Normal moisture is defined as that moisture produced when air at a relative humidity of 75% has been compressed to 85 psig. If an air compressor is required, it shall be sized and provided by the contractor. The air compressor may be quoted as an option as the Arsenal may place the machine near an existing air compressor.

With input from the contractor, the Arsenal will determine whether an existing air compressor can be used or whether to exercise an option for a new air compressor. All necessary airlines from the compressor (new or existing) to the machine shall be supplied and installed by the contractor. Airlines shall be hard piped and not utilize hose. Airlines shall not lay on the floor as to pose a tripping hazard.

3.1.16 Special Tools. If any element of machine operation or maintenance requires the use of specially designed tools, these tools shall be provided with the machine and shall become the property of the Government.

3.1.17 Site Conditions. The machine covered by this specification will be installed in a general machine shop space where there is currently no environmental conditioning.

Temperatures will range from 60 °F (15 °C) to 95 °F (35 °C) and relative humidity will range from 20% or less to 95%. On any given day the temperature in the machine shop may change as much as 4 °F per hour. These are the conditions under which the machine is expected to perform as specified, and the contractor shall be responsible for supplying whatever is required to meet the specified performance. The only permissible exception is positioning accuracy for numerically controlled machines.

3.1.18 Heat Exchange Equipment. Heat exchange equipment shall be furnished with the machine wherever it is needed to keep operating temperatures within design or specified limits. Any heat exchange equipment using water as the heat exchange medium shall be fully recirculating and shall not require the continuing input and discharge of Arsenal water supply.

Waste water systems of any type are not acceptable.

3.1.19 Machine Installation, Startup and Testing.

3.1.19.1 Work to be Performed by the Arsenal. Upon receipt of the required installation and foundation drawings (see 3.1.13), Watervliet Arsenal will identify an intended installation site prior to delivery of the machine. After placement of the machine by the contractor/riggers, Watervliet Arsenal will run utilities to first points of connection. However, if the installation instructions supplied by the contractor are incomplete or insufficiently detailed, installation work will stop and the contractor will be required to dispatch a service engineer.

Installation will resume upon their arrival and continue under their guidance.

NOTE: If installation instructions, foundation drawings and electrical and hydraulic schematics are not delivered at or before the times specified (see 3.1.13), the Government reserves the right to forestall delivery and/or final acceptance testing of the machine by an amount of time equal to the delay in receipt of instructions, drawings or schematics.

3.1.19.2 Work to be Performed by the Contractor. This project is classified as a turn-key with the contractor being responsible for all costs and work associated with the installation unless otherwise stated. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with skidding and shipment, rigging, and installation at WVA. Once an installation site is identified by Watervliet personnel and if required, a foundation is constructed, the contractor or their designated third party shall install the machine. Contractor personnel shall arrange for rigging services to off load the machine and contractor personnel shall be on-site at Watervliet when the machine arrives and is off loaded to supervise the placement of the machine on the installation site by the rigging service. Outside rigging services should be advised that only certified grade 8 chains are permitted to be used at the Arsenal and that all rigging slings must be tagged and certified for the weights being lifted. In most cases no Arsenal forklift services and/or Arsenal personnel will be available for the installation. Only propane powered forklifts are permitted and must also be equipped with a roll cage. Operators of forklifts shall have and be able to produce valid forklift licenses. Arsenal overhead pendant cranes (within load capacities) can be used by the contractor/rigging service for the installation. The contractor shall provide written certification to the WVA representative that all contractor/rigger personnel are qualified, through either formal training or experience per OSHA, to operate pendant controlled overhead cranes. Contractor personnel shall also adhere to the WVA requirements to wear OSHA approved non-tinted safety glasses with side shields and safety shoes while in the manufacturing shop areas. The contractor shall ensure they bring all equipment/material necessary for the installation of the machine(s). Watervliet does not have the resources to provide such material. Crane capacity within each building is limited (2, 5, 10 or 15 tons) and therefore if not adequate then the contractor will need to provide alternate means necessary for the installation. Specific building crane capacities where the equipment is to be installed should be verified with the WVA technical POC.

Once the machine is positioned and rough leveled by the contractor, WVA personnel will run utilities to the machine. Watervliet must be provided with sufficient time to accomplish these connections. The contractor, through their own service personnel shall be fully responsible for the startup and testing of the machine, conduct any acceptance tests specified in sections 3 & 4 and perform the required on-site training. The contractor and the service personnel shall remain until the machine activation and testing have been successfully completed. Under no circumstances should the contractor plan on gratuitous Arsenal assistance for diagnosis, troubleshooting or repair of the equipment during activation and testing. Should such activity prove necessary, it shall be the contractor's responsibility to provide the appropriate labor and materials. If the contractor chooses to request Arsenal assistance in lieu of providing their own resources, the request will be reviewed by the Technical POC who shall reserve the right to impose a charge for the assistance. Approvals, even on a charge basis, should not be taken for granted since there is no guarantee that appropriate Arsenal personnel will be readily available.

In such cases, the Arsenal will not be held responsible for delays in acceptance of the equipment resulting from non-availability of Arsenal personnel or Arsenal-furnished equipment.

IMPORTANT: Under normal circumstances the contractor will be allowed to work as long as is desired during normal work days. Contractor work outside Watervliet’s normal work days cannot be guaranteed. Watervliet is on a condensed work schedule. Normal work hours/days for this schedule are four 9-hour workdays (Friday off) one week and four 9-hour days, one 8-hour day (Friday) the following week. Contractor work on the Friday off and weekends cannot be guaranteed. Contractor’s classified as foreign nationals may further restrict work hours and days available.

If the contractor requests Watervliet Arsenal to ship misc. material via UPS, FedEx or by other similar carrier then the contractor shall provide their carrier account number for this purpose.

3.2 Machine Specific Requirements: The new continuous pressure tube abrasive blasting machine shall be capable of blasting the outer diameter of cylindrical tapered tubes between 10 and 40 feet in length. Workpieces may weigh up to15,000 lbs and measure up to 16” in outer diameter. The machine shall be capable of being loaded by overhead crane. The machine shall rotate a workpiece as it is blasted with 60 grit aluminum oxide blast media. The machine shall be capable of manual blasting operation as well as automatic blasting of programmed zones.
