NOTES:

1. The hourly burdened labor rates proposed in Table 1 are binding upon contract award for the life of the MATOC for firm-fixed-price (FFP) task orders. The hourly unburdened labor rates proposed in Table 1 are binding upon contract award for the life of the MATOC for cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) task orders.

2. The hourly burdened labor rates shall include direct cost, payroll taxes, insurance, benefits, and any other applicable labor costs, but shall exclude profit.

3. The binding hourly rates represent the maximum labor rates that the contractor shall use when responding to a either a FFP or CPFF Request for Task Order Proposal (RTOP) issued by the Government. These binding rates shall also apply to all modifications issued against task orders. The contractor may propose a lower hourly rate for these labor disciplines when responding to the RTOP or modification request based on the tasks within the RTOP or modification requests.

4. Adherence to these rates will be reviewed through submittal of supporting documentation by the Contractor with each FFP or CPFF task order proposal. Failure to propose the binding hourly rate or a lower rate for the listed labor disciplines may result in the Contractor’s task order proposal being rejected for award consideration.

5. If a discipline is not listed in the Binding Labor Rate Schedule and is required for the

Contractor to perform a specific task order, the Contractor may propose the required labor discipline and the associated unburdened (for CPFF task orders) or fully burdened labor rate (for FFP task orders) (exclusive of profit) in the proposal submitted in response to the issued RTOP or modification request.

6. If during the Contract Period of Performance, the Contractor’s original personnel are no longer available, the Contractor shall find personnel that have the same qualifications as the previous personnel. The Contractor shall be responsible for negotiating the labor rates for those personnel that have been provided in Table 1. The rates provided in Table 1 are the maximum that will be paid by the Government for any replacement personnel.

7. The maximum rates shall be governed by the effective date of the Task Order. Task Orders will use the prices for the 12-month period effective on the date the Task Order is issued.

Modifications to Task Orders will reflect the rates of the “current 12-month” binding labor rate schedule. For example, if the rate schedule changes over on 1 November of each year, and a Task Order is issue on 1 September 2018 for 12 months work, the maximum rates will be the rates that were effective on 1 November 2017. Under the same assumptions, if a modification to the Task Order is required in December 2018, the labor rates effective on 1 November 2018 will apply.

8. The Government reserves the right to request certified cost or pricing date; or information other than certified cost or pricing data from the contractor at the task order level to assess the reasonableness of the proposed task order pricing.

3. Adherence to these rates will be reviewed through submittal of supporting documentation by the Contractor with each task order proposal. Failure to propose the binding rates or a lower rates may result in the Contractor’s task order proposal being rejected for award consideration.

4. The Binding Cap Rates shall be governed by the effective date of the Task Order. Task

7.0 OVERVIEW: EVALUATION OR PROPOSALS

7.1 Lowest price technically acceptable source selection process

Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.101-2(b)(3). Contract award will be made to up to four (4) Offerors who provide a technically acceptable proposal at the lowest price in accordance with this solicitation. The failure of a proposal to meet any of the acceptability standards for any factor will result in a technically unacceptable rating and preclude award.

7.2 Basis of award

Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. Unreasonably proposed prices may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that the Offeror does not understand the requirement or the Offeror has submitted an unreasonable proposal.

The Government cannot make award based on a deficient offer. Therefore, receipt of an “UNACCEPTABLE” rating for any factor will make the offer ineligible for award, unless the Government elects to enter into discussions with that Offeror and all deficiencies are remedied in a revised proposal.

All offers received in response to the solicitation will be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation requirements of this solicitation. The Government intends to award up to four (4) contracts on the basis of initial offers received, without conducting discussions with Offerors. However, in the event the Source Selection Authority (SSA)/Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) concludes conducting discussions is in the best interest of the Government, the Contracting Officer will establish a competitive range. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the Offeror's best terms from a cost/price and technical standpoint.

8. SOURCE SELECTION PROCESS

All offers received in response to this solicitation will be evaluated in accordance with FAR Part 15.3, DoD Source Selection procedures, and Army Source Selection Supplement. The principal objective of this process is to select a responsible Offeror who submits the offer that is the Best Value to the Government. The process is designed to ensure the impartial, equitable, and comprehensive evaluation of all technically acceptable, responsible proposals received in response to this particular solicitation.

8.1 Source Selection Team

The Source Selection Team (SST) is established as a separate organization and management chain of command whose only purpose is to accomplish the objective above. The organization consists of a Source Selection Authority (SSA), Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO), and a Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB). The organization is designed to ensure active ongoing involvement of appropriate contracting, technical, logistics, legal, price analysis, small business, and other functional staff management expertise.

8.2 Source Selection Procedure

The source selection procedures will begin with an initial review of proposals received in response to this solicitation. The SSEB shall evaluate the proposals based solely on the evaluation criteria identified below. To be considered acceptable, each Offeror shall specifically address each of the evaluation factors listed below. Sufficient detail shall be provided, citing specific data as may be required, such that the proposal may be adequately evaluated.

The proposal must show clearly that the Offeror has an understanding of the work tasks required and has the capability and responsibility to accomplish the work. Proposals that do not generally conform to the RFP requirements may be considered to have a “deficiency”.

The results of the SSEB evaluations will be presented to the SSA, who will select the lowest price Offerors who were rated Acceptable in all non-price factors in accordance with established criteria in this solicitation. The SSA and PCO will determine whether it is appropriate to engage in clarifications or communications.

The Government is not responsible for information overlooked during the evaluation which is not located in the appropriate proposal section. To ensure the evaluation credit is appropriately received for proposal material submitted, do not reference documents that are not contained in the proposal. References to sections of the proposal shall be by specific paragraph number (and name, if applicable), page number, and section.

8.3 Evaluation of TECHNICAL Proposal

The purpose of the technical factor is to assess whether the Offeror’s proposal will satisfy the Government’s minimum requirements. Factors 1, 2 and 3 of the Offeror’s proposal will be evaluated against the established minimum requirements stated in this solicitation to determine whether the proposal is acceptable or unacceptable, using the ratings and descriptions outlined in Table 2 below:

TABLE 2. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Adjectival Rating

Description

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation

8.4 Evaluation of PAST PERFORMANCE

The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the Offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the Offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements.

There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation. The first is to evaluate the Offeror’s past performance to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the Offeror is to the effort to be acquired through the source selection. Recent is defined as past performance on contracts that are either completed within the last eight (8) years from the date that proposals are due or projects underway with construction at least 80% complete (i.e., at least 80% of the contract funds have been paid out on the project). With respect to relevancy, more relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment. The past performance relevancy scale is described below:

Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Note: The Relevancy Scale rating is not a separate proposal rating, but is used in developing an overall Past Performance Evaluation Rating.

The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the contractor performed on the contracts. The past performance evaluation performed in support of a current source selection does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the Offeror’s past performance on past contracts; rather, the past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the Offeror performed those past contracts.

After evaluating relevancy and contractor performance, a Past Performance Evaluation Rating will be determined for Factor 4. Each Offeror’s past performance will be rated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis using the ratings in Table 3 below:

TABLE 3. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Adjectival 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 below.)

Unacceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: 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. Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

9.0 RATING DEFINITIONS

Deficiency: A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

Recency: as it pertains to past performance information, is a measure of the time that has elapsed since the past performance reference occurred. Recency is generally expressed as a time period during which past performance references are considered relevant.

Relevancy: as it pertains to past performance information, is a measure of the extent of similarity between the service/support effort, complexity, dollar value, contract type, and subcontract/teaming or other comparable attributes of past performance examples and the solicitation requirements; and a measure of the likelihood that the past performance is an indicator of future performance.
