1. Firm Fixed Pricing Task Orders

1.1 Binding Capped Hourly Labor Rates

The binding capped labor rates for this contract shall be provided by the Offeror in Table 1 (to be completed in the excel spreadsheet provided) along with the formula(s) or calculations used to burden the labor rates. The amount to be paid to the contractor for each firm-fixed price task order shall not exceed the “maximum” hourly rates proposed by the contractor for the labor disciplines listed in Table 1, “Binding Labor Rates.” The fully burdened labor rates provided in Table 1 will also be used for negotiation of task order modifications.

1.1.1 The capped hourly rates provided on Table 1 shall be “Fully Burdened,” i.e., shall include Overhead (OH), General/Administrative (G&A), Labor Burden Fringes, and any other indirect costs exclusive of profit.

1.1.2 Labor rates used in formulating task order proposals shall not exceed the capped labor rates as of the date of task order requirement.

1.1.3 The Offeror shall indicate for each discipline whether it is employed by the prime or a subcontractor by annotating PRIME or SUB next to the discipline in the first column. For example, “CADD Operator (SUB)”.

The rates shown per labor discipline shall be fully burdened rates, exclusive of profit for the prime contractor or joint venture.

1.1.4 The hourly burdened labor rates proposed in the Binding Capped Labor Rate Schedule are binding upon contract award for the life of the MATOC, to include all option periods and extensions. These rates are applicable to both task orders and modifications.

1.1.5 If a discipline is not listed in the contract rate pricing schedule and is required for the contractor to perform a specific task order, the contractor may propose the required labor category and provide the unburdened labor rate along with all applied direct and indirect costs which formulate the fully burdened labor rate (exclusive of profit for the prime contractor or joint venture) in the proposal submitted in response to the issued Request for Task Order Proposal (RTOP).

1.1.6 If during the Contract Period of Performance, the Offeror’s original key personnel (prime or subcontracted) are no longer available, the Offeror shall replace these individuals with personnel whom, at a minimum, have the same qualifications as the personnel being replaced. The Offeror shall be responsible for negotiating labor rates for those personnel that do not exceed the rates provided in Table 1, which are the maximum rates the Government will pay for any personnel. The Contractor shall submit the replacement personnel’s qualifications to the Contracting Officer for approval.

1.1.7 The applicable capped labor 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 2020 for 12 months work, the maximum rates will be the rates that were effective on 1 November 2019. Under the same assumptions, if a modification to the Task Order is required in December 2020, the labor rates effective on 1 November 2020 will apply.

1.1.8 The Offeror has the responsibility to provide labor rates that comply with Davis Bacon wage decisions for each labor discipline subject to those wage determinations/wage decisions. The Government will provide the applicable wage determination(s) for the specific geographic location of the task orders in the Request for Task Order Proposal (RTOP).

1.1.9 Provide one (1) rate per labor discipline, regardless of whether the individuals employed for that discipline are directly employed or subcontracted.

1.2 Firm-Fixed Price Escalation and Maximum Profit

1.2.1 The escalation rate applied to years 2 through 7 shall be provided by the Offeror in Table 2. The listed rate shall be the rate applied to the hourly labor rates in Table 1 for each year.

TABLE 2: Escalation Rate

Period 1 - Period 2

Period 2 - Period 3

Period 3 - Period 4

Period 4 - Period 5

Period 5 - Period 6

Period 6 - Period 7

Period 7 - 6-Month Extension

Profit will be negotiated at the task order level for each Firm-Fixed Price task order but shall not exceed the maximum profit rate provided by the Offeror in Table 3, “Maximum Profit.” The maximum profit shall be binding for the life of the contract, to include all option periods and extensions, and shall be the maximum profit the Contractor will be allowed to propose for all firm-fixed-price task orders and modifications issued under this contract.

1.2.2 The Contractor may propose a lower profit when responding to a RTOP (or subsequent modifications) based on the tasks identified in the request and the risk associated with the project.

1.2.3 The maximum profit on this contract shall be provided by the Offeror in Table 3:

TABLE 3: Maximum Profit

2. Binding Capped Rates for Firm Fixed Task Orders

The Binding Capped Rates represent the maximum Overhead, G&A, or other Indirect rates that the Contractor shall use when responding to a RTOP issued by the Government. The Offeror may use lower rates in proposals, but not higher.

2.1 The Binding Capped Rates shall be the maximum applied OH, G&A and other indirect rates used for the duration of the contract. The Binding Capped Rates will not be adjusted upward as a result of an audit of the contract or the follow-on task orders. For proposals in response to RTOP that require disciplines not included in the Table 1 labor rates, the Contractor should use the actual labor rate(s) paid to the employee(s) for each discipline and apply the applicable indirect rates up to the binding capped rates listed in Table 4. The proposed task order indirect rates will not be adjusted upward as a result of an audit of the contract or the specific task order.

2.2 The Binding Capped Rates for this contract shall be provided by the Offeror in Table 4 along with the applicability of each rate submitted. If a listed category does not apply to the firm, list as “N/A”. Table 4 shall include all indirect cost rates that the firm may use in their proposals in response to the Government’s RTOP. The capped rates provided by the Offeror are binding upon contract award for the life of the MATOC, to include all option periods and extensions. These rates are applicable to both task orders and modifications.

If Per Diem (lodging and MI & E expenses) and transportation expenses are required to perform the Scope of Work, travel costs may be included in the Firm-Fixed-Price proposals for task orders in accordance with the offeror’s accounting practices. The Government will use the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) as guidance to assist with a reasonableness determination.

The Government reserves the right to include a separate cost reimbursement CLIN in individual RTOP for travel costs. If the separate CLIN is used on a task order, Per Diem (lodging and MI & E expenses) shall be paid at the current Government rates in accordance with the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) per person per calendar day spent in travel status. No per diem will be paid for travel less than the number of hours per day stated in the current FTR.

Per Diem rate information may be obtained at http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/. Actual cost of transportation by public conveyance (plane, limited to coach class) shall be paid. Air travel shall (if possible) be planned in advance in order to acquire the best prices available.

7. BASIS OF AWARD

The agency will use the Selection Procedures authorized by FAR Part 15.

Selection will be based on evaluation of technical factors, past performance, small business participation, and price.

There are five non-price factors:

FACTOR 1: Previous Experience FACTOR 2: Technical Approach to Sample Project FACTOR 3: Past Performance FACTOR 4: Management Approach FACTOR 5: Small Business Participation Plan

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award contracts without conducting discussions with Offerors.

However, in the event that discussions are necessary, the PCO will establish a competitive range with approval from the Source Selection Authority (SSA). If the PCO 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 PCO 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, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

The Government intends to award a target of five (5) contracts. However, the Government reserves the right to award less than or greater than five (5) contracts under this MATOC to the Offerors whose proposal offers the best value to the Government.

8. RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF EVALUATION FACTORS

Technical evaluation factors are listed in descending order of importance. All technical evaluation Factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price.

Table 3 – EVALUATION FACTORS

FACTOR DESCRIPTION

Factor 1 Previous Experience

Factor 2 Technical Approach to Sample Project

Factor 3 Past Performance

Factor 4 Management Approach

Factor 5 Small Business Participation Plan

9. 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 other Army Source Selection guidance. The principal objective of this process is to select responsible Offerors who submit the offers that represents the best value to the Government, technical factors and price considered.

10. EVALUATION CRITERIA

10.1 COMBINED TECHNICAL/RISK RATINGS.

The evaluation ratings for Technical Factors 1, 2, and 4 will be on an adjectival basis in conjunction with the identified strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies of the proposal. The Source Selection Team will use a combined technical/risk rating system that includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings. Combined technical/risk ratings are listed in Table 4. The Combined technical/risk ratings will be used to evaluate Factor 1 Previous Experience, Factor 2 Technical Approach to Sample Project, Factor 4 Management Approach.

Table 4 - Combined Technical/Risk Ratings

Color Rating Description

Blue Outstanding Proposal indicates and exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Purple Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Green Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Yellow Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable.

Strengths, Significant Strengths, Weaknesses, Significant Weaknesses, and Deficiencies are defined as follows:

Strength: An aspect of an Offeror’s proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Significant Strength: An aspect of an Offeror’s proposal that has appreciable merit or appreciably exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be appreciably advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Weakness: A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Significant Weakness: A flaw in the proposal that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

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.

10.2 PAST PERFORMANCE RATING

The Past Performance evaluation factor is an assessment of the Offeror’s probability of meeting the Solicitation requirements. The Past Performance evaluation considers each Offeror's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying services that meet the contract’s requirements. The currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the Offeror’s past performance shall be considered. There are two aspects to the Past Performance evaluation, Relevancy and Contractor Performance, which are combined to establish one performance confidence assessment rating for each Offeror. The elements are described below:

a. Relevancy. The first aspect of the Past Performance evaluation is to determine how recent and relevant previous experience accomplished by the Offeror is to the anticipated work to be accomplished under this MATOC.

Relevancy is defined as similarity of anticipated work effort contemplated items stated within this solicitation such as: types of projects, dollar value, contract type, and stakeholder(s). With respect to relevancy, more relevant Past Performance will typically be a strong predictor of future success.

Relevancy is not a separate proposal rating but is used to develop an overall Past Performance rating. The four levels of relevancy ratings are:
