PROPOSAL SUBMITTAL AND EVALUATION INSTRUCTIONS TO MATOC OFFERORS

PART I – GENERAL INFORMATION

A. OVERVIEW

This Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits offers for a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for hopper dredging due to unanticipated shoaling from a tropical storm, flood or hurricane event or unanticipated shoaling resulting in identifiable “Draft Restricting” shoals that impede navigation and must be cleared expeditiously.

The work under this contract will be accomplished by hopper dredge and will only be for the six (6) Deep Draft Navigation Entrance Channels within the Galveston District boundary.

B. BASIS FOR AWARD

The base award will be made on the basis of Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process (See Federal Acquisition Regulation 15.101-2). In the lowest price technically acceptable selection process interested Offerors submit certain specified performance and capability proposals in conjunction with price proposals for a Sample Task Order for review and consideration by the Government. The Government will evaluate these performance capability proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein.

The Contracting Officer will award a minimum of two (2) Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOCs) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. The maximum number of contract awards will be dependent upon the number of Offerors whose proposals the Source Selection Authority determines to meet the requirements of acceptability as set forth herein. Awards of the MATOCs will be made on the basis of proposals meeting the acceptability standards.

The Government intends to make award without holding discussions with Offerors.

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Source Selection Authority or the Contracting Officer determines them to be necessary. Therefore, Offerors are encouraged to include their best terms and conditions (both price and technical) for the Sample Task Order.

C. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND FORMAT

Offerors shall organize their proposal as described in this solicitation. Proposals may be determined to be non-responsive for failure to follow the prescribed format. In order to effectively and equitably evaluate all offers, the Contracting Officer must receive information sufficiently detailed to clearly evaluate factors identified within this solicitation.

of owner representative(s), Federal Award Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources whether identified by the proposal or not.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing required, detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

The Government may contact references provided as part of the Factor for Experience, for information regarding past performance on the project and for assessing and verifying the scope of the work performed. Offerors shall provide accurate, current, and complete contact information for references provided in the project descriptions.

STANDARDS FOR ACCEPTABILITY:

This standard is met when the following has been shown, when the Offeror:

1. Illustrates customer “SATISFACTORY” or better evaluation for completion of at least two similar hopper dredging projects within the last five years;

2. Does not have any “MARGINAL” or “UNSATISFACTORY” overall performance ratings on any dredging project performed for the federal government within the last three years.

Contractors will be queried through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) to validate past performance ratings.

NOTE: Offerors without a of relevant past performance of for whom information on of past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offer 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 (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

(AM#1) Table 3 - FACTOR 3 - Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method

Rating Description Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note above)

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Each Offeror shall provide at least two (2) past performance ratings. Any rating an Offeror has in PPIRS will count toward this requirement. The Offeror is responsible for ensuring that the Contracting Officer has received a minimum of two (2) questionnaires (attached) by the Closing Date or that have current ratings in PPIRS. New entities that have no past customers shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing, prior to the date and time established for the RFP closing, that they have had no previous clients and that the minimum number of questionnaires cannot be provided. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure that the reference documentation is provided, as the Government may not make additional requests for past performance information from the references.

This does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ

Section 00 22 10 01.01 45 Page 7

(TO ACCOMPANY AMENDMENT NO. 0001 TO RFP NO. W9126G-16-R-0071)

The Government may contact references provided as part of this factor, for information regarding the Offeror’s past performance on the project and for the purposes of assessing and verifying the scope of the work performed. Offerors should provide accurate, current, and complete contact information for references provided in the project descriptions.

The Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) members will review the past performance information available, to include ACASS, CCASS, CPARS and other past performance information deemed relevant, to determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance confidence assessment. Owners/references may be asked to comment on items such as quality of construction, timeliness, management of the work, subcontractor management, including timely payment to subs or suppliers, safety, relations between owner and/or contractor, level of support for such things as as-built documentation, correcting construction errors, etc. If the Government cannot establish the Offeror’s relevant past performance, it reserves the right to contact the points of contact on the information sheets.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or "UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Section 00 73 46 - Page 2

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the

Section 00 73 46 - Page 3

Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)

and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
