SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS

1.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION

1.0.1 This section provides general guidance, as well as specific instructions on format and content, for preparing proposals. The Offeror’s proposal must include all information requested and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Compliance with these instructions is mandatory and failure to furnish a complete proposal, at the time of proposal submission, may result in the proposal being unacceptable to the Government and may eliminate the Offeror from further consideration for award. It is the Offeror's responsibility to ensure the completeness of the proposal submitted. With respect to cost/price proposals, the burden of proof for credibility rests with each Offeror.

The Government will evaluate proposals solely on the basis of the information contained within it and the Government will not assume that an Offeror possesses any capabilities not specified. The Offeror shall explain inconsistencies among the parts of each proposal. Any unexplained inconsistency may raise a fundamental question of the Offeror's understanding of the requirement and/or ability to perform. Offerors are advised that its proposals are presumed to represent their best efforts and must complete responses to this Request for Proposal (RFP).

Proposals that simply reiterate the contents of this RFP, or contain only superficial responses, may be considered unacceptable. Evidence of experience, capability, and qualifications that clearly demonstrate and support the Offeror’s claims are essential. The absence of such evidence will adversely influence the evaluation of the proposal.

1.1 POINT OF CONTACT

Offerors shall address all questions, concerns, or clarifications to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) listed below as the sole point of contact for this acquisition. Offerors must make all inquiries in writing and submit them electronically to the Contract Specialist with a copy to the PCO. Offerors will receive a notice of receipt, but if they do not, it is their responsibility to follow-up by contacting the addressees listed below.

1.2 PROPOSAL CLARITY

The proposal shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet the requirements. The Offeror shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of the Offeror’s capabilities or experience; and as such, the Government will base its evaluation solely on the information presented in the Offeror’s proposal and information obtained through sources identified in past performance paragraph 8.1.2. The Offeror is reminded that the Government intends to award this contract based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.

1.3 RESTRICTIONS ON DISCLOSURE AND USE OF PROPOSAL

A proposal may include data, such as technical designs or concepts, financial data, or management plans that the Offeror does not want disclosed to the public for any reason, or used by the Government for any purpose other than proposal evaluation and contract award. If the Offeror wishes to restrict the proposal, the Offeror shall mark it in accordance with FAR 52.215-1(e).

1.4 DISPOSITION OF PROPOSALS

In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8, Government Contract Files, the Government will retain the “original” copy of all proposals and supplemental documents provided. Unless the Offeror requests otherwise, at the completion of this acquisition the Government will destroy all extra copies of proposals and additional documents submitted.

1.5 POST AWARD NOTICES & DEBRIEFINGS

Post-award notices and debriefings will be conducted in accordance with FAR 15.506. The PCO will notify unsuccessful Offerors in accordance with FAR 15.503. Upon such notification, unsuccessful Offerors may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR 15.505 or 15.506. Offerors desiring debriefings must make their requests in accordance with the requirements of FAR 15.505 or 15.506 as applicable.

1.6 RESTRICTIONS OF CONTACTS

Concurrent with the release of this RFP, appropriate offices will be advised that a source selection action is in progress for the proposed award and that contact by participating Offerors on the subject of this RFP is inappropriate. Recipients of this RFP shall not attempt such contacts during this period.

1.7 PRE-AWARD SURVEY

A pre-award survey may be accomplished on all Offerors submitting proposals to supplement the determination of contractor responsibility as defined in FAR Part 9.1. The Offeror shall be required to participate in a pre-award survey for the purpose of determining its financial and technical ability to perform. The pre-award survey is conducted with the assistance of the Offeror’s cognizant Government Contract Administration Office to determine its eligibility and ability to perform. Refusal to participate in a pre-award survey and failure to provide all requested information may be cause for rejection of the offer.

The pre-award survey may include performance of a formal financial capability risk assessment or an audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) or other personnel assigned by the PCO to perform the task. This effort would be performed in accordance with DFARS 232.072-1 and the information required for an audit would include, but not be limited to, the information identified in DFARS 232.072-2. The Contractor agrees to provide the financial information for such financial capability effort in a timely manner. Failure to provide the requested data could cause the Offeror to be determined financially irresponsible as discussed in FAR 9.103(b).

1.8 DISCREPANCIES

If an Offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the Offeror shall immediately notify the PCO in writing with supporting rationale. The Offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.

1.9 EVALUATION NOTICE (EN)

If any additional exchanges are required, the Government will send a written EN to the Offeror. Offerors will be allowed sufficient time to submit written responses.

1.10 EVALUATION

Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with (IAW) Section M of the RFP, Evaluation Factors for Award. The Government will use the Offeror’s responses to this RFP as a validation tool for the Offeror’s capabilities in reference to, and understanding of, the requirement. Failure to comply with the RFP will render the proposal unacceptable, and may eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award.

1.11 PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE & SEED PROJECT SITE VISIT

1.11.1 The Government will hold a pre-proposal conference and site visit at Building 2015 in the Dallas Conference Room (Room 140), at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), Washington on 10 May 2016 beginning at 1:00PM PDT. Attendance is at the Offeror’s expense. All interested firms may attend with a limit of two (2) attendees per firm due to limited conference room space. Please submit, in writing, the names of attendees and any questions they may have in advance by e-mail to Contract Specialist Renee M. Krahenbuhl at usarmy.jblm.acc-micc.list.proposals@mail.mil and renee.m.krahenbuhl.civ@mail.mil prior to 4 May 2016 at 2:00PM PDT. Offeror shall be prepared to provide its own transportation to and from the pre-proposal conference location and the site visit location.

1.11.2 Offerors or vendors are urged and expected to inspect the site where the work will be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable, and to attend a preproposal conference. The purpose of the conference is to eliminate any possible misunderstandings of the terms of the RFP. Comments and/or questions during the conference/site visit will not be answered at the conference. This will ensure all Offerors have the same opportunity to receive a correct and accurate answer. This also removes any risk of an incorrect answer being provided verbally without first verifying its accuracy. All comments and/or questions must be gathered and submitted via a SINGLE email per Offeror, preferably in Microsoft Word documents attached to e-mail to the points of contact in paragraph 1.11.1 above no later than 18 May 2016 at 2:00 PM PST. If responses to technical questions affect the Statement of Work (SOW) requirements or any other portion of the RFP, the Government will issue an amendment to the RFP; the RFP will remain unchanged unless the Government amends the RFP in writing.

1.11.3 In no event shall failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim or adjustment after contract award.

1.11.4 To gain access to JBLM-Main and JBLM-North, if you do not have a contractor’s badge, you must obtain a visitor’s pass from the Visitor’s Center immediately outside the Liberty Gate. Take exit 120 off Interstate 5 and proceed toward the Liberty Gate. Just prior to the Liberty Gate, turn right into the Visitor’s Center parking lot. At the Visitor’s Center service window, state that you need a one (1)-day pass to attend a meeting at the Mission and Installation Contracting Command, Fourth Avenue, Building 2015, Room 140. For a one (1)-day pass, no prior arrangements are necessary and none have not been made. Allow plenty of time to process through the Visitor’s Center because it can be quite busy. To obtain the vehicle pass, the driver of the vehicle must present a valid driver’s license with picture, proof of current vehicle insurance, and valid vehicle registration. All passengers in the vehicle must also enter the Visitor’s Center and present a photo ID. Each passenger’s name will be entered on the vehicle pass in addition to the driver’s name. At the Liberty Gate entrance, guard personnel will check the vehicle pass along with the photo IDs of the driver and all passengers.

Driving directions to Building 2015 Once on post proceed to the 3rd light, make a right onto Pendleton Avenue.

On Pendleton go through 3 lights; Fourth Avenue is to your left.

You may turn onto Fourth Avenue, parking is allowed on either side of the street. There is also a parking lot on the side of Building 2015, a parking lot between building 2015, and the other buildings in the quad. There is also parking across Pendleton. The parking areas on the street and in the quad are mostly open access, but they fill up quickly in the morning with employees; across the street parking is usually available throughout the day. As you face the front of the building, Room 140 (Dallas Conference Room) is on the first floor in the left wing.

On 1 May 2016, JBLM began enforcing the provision of the Real ID Act of 2005. Under provisions of this act, a standard driver’s license or ID card issued by any of the following states is not accepted for unescorted access to JBLM: Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri and Washington. Persons requesting unescorted access to JBLM and who present a standard license or ID from one of those states will be required to present additional documentation to verify their identity prior to being allowed access to JBLM. The list of acceptable documents to present along with a standard driver’s license or ID Card issued by one of those states include: DoD CAC, DoD Uniformed Services Identification and Privileges Cards, U.S. Passport or U.S. Passport Card, VA Issued Health Card, U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Card, Transportation Worker ID Card (TWIC) issued by DHS, U.S. Government issued, authenticated Federal PIV credentials. US Military or Draft Record containing name and DOB. A full list can be found http://www.lewis-mcchord.army.mil/ under Access to JBLM. The Washington State enhanced driver license is acceptable.

1.11.5 If no one provides notice of attendance, the preproposal conference and site visit will be canceled. No other site visits or preproposal conferences will be scheduled or authorized.

8.0 VOLUME III – FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

8.1 The Past Performance evaluation will be accomplished by reviewing aspects of an Offeror's recent and relevant Past Performance, focusing on and targeting performance which is relevant to the effort as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation and as defined in Section M.

Past Performance information described herein is required on the Offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed to perform 50% of the proposed effort based on the total proposed price. The Offeror shall submit, along with the information required in this paragraph, a consent letter, executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the Offeror so the Offeror can respond to such information. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the Offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the Offeror's performance.

8.1.1 Early Proposal Information. The Offeror is requested, but not required, to submit the Past Performance Volume any time prior to the closing of the RFP, to the Contracting Officer at the address specified in Section L Paragraph 4.2.

8.1.2 The Offeror shall include documentation regarding their relevant past performance as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation. The Offeror SHALL NOT go back any farther than six years for the submitted data. The past performance data shall document a successful history of past contract performance.

8.1.3 In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the Offeror’s Past Performance Volume and information obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or similar systems, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and commercial sources. Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by Offerors in their proposals may be used by the Government to evaluate Offeror past performance. However, the burden of providing thorough, complete, and current past performance information as requested in this paragraph remains with the Offerors. Proposals that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph risk rejection or a less than acceptable performance rating by the Government. All past performance comments received will be taken into account and could affect the overall rating. The overall past performance evaluation is a subjective decision based on the whole of all data received. In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

8.1.4 Submission Requirements. The Offeror shall submit a Past Performance Volume containing the following:

Table of Contents Summary Page describing the role of the Offeror and each subcontractor, teaming partner, and

/or joint venture partner that the Offeror is required to provide Past Performance Specific Relevant Contract Reference Sheets for the past performance experience in accordance with Attachment 3.

Consent Letters executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing the release of past performance information so the Offeror can respond to such information. (A sample consent letter is attached as Attachment 2).

Client Authorization Letters for each identified effort for a commercial customer authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the Offeror’s performance.

Organization Structure Change History— Organizational Structure Change History. Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant present or past efforts or between conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider present and past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the Offeror(s), your "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.

Specific Relevant Contracts Format - Sheets in accordance with Attachment 3 and are limited to 3 pages per reference. The Offeror shall provide documentation outlining the Offeror’s past performance with contracts, as a prime or major subcontractor, which is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this Solicitation. The submittal shall include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance and how it was determined that the work performed previously was the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the work specified by this solicitation. Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort, and to what aspects of the proposed effort they relate.

8.1.5 Past Performance Questionnaire. - See Attachment 1, Past Performance Questionnaire. For the contracts identified on each Specific Relevant Contract Reference, the Offeror shall forward a copy of the Past Performance Questionnaire to the points of contact responsible for monitoring performance under such contracts. The points of contact shall return the questionnaires directly to Renee M. Krahenbuhl, Contract Specialist, via email usarmy.jblm.acc-micc.list.proposals@mail.mil no later than 2:00 PM PDT on 26 May 2016. Any questionnaires not returned directly to the KO will not be reviewed and evaluated. The information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the Offeror’s past performance. New entities that have no past customers shall annotate on the Summary Page that they have had no previous clients and that the minimum number of questionnaires cannot be provided.

9.0 VOLUME IV – FACTOR 3: PRICE

9.1 Price is not assigned a rating or scored. The Government will evaluate each Offeror’s total proposed price for the Seed Project to determine if the Offeror’s proposed prices are fair and reasonable, complete and balanced utilizing price analysis techniques in accordance with the guidelines in FAR 15.404-1(b)(e)(g). The Seed Project – Price Schedule shall be evaluated to ensure a fair and reasonable price according to this Section. Price will not be assigned an adjectival rating.

9.2 Using Technical Exhibit 11, Attachment 3, Seed Project Bid Schedule, Offerors are to provide a total lump sum price using Technical Exhibit 9, Attachment 1, on a firm fixed-priced basis, for the seed project supported by a narrative and detailed computations that explain and depict how its price for the seed project was developed. Provide a price breakdown of all direct and indirect costs to include overhead and profit. The seed projects is “live,” which means it is anticipated to be awarded at the time of IDIQ contract award, and therefore, Offerors should submit their very best price.

9.4 The Government reserves the right to require the submission of Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data if it is deems necessary to arrive at a fair and reasonable price.
