All the technical ratings in Volume 1 Factors will be combined, based on their assigned weighting, to assign an overall Technical Adjectival Rating.

3.1 Factor 1, Tab 1 – Technical Approach for Base Contract/Seed Task Order

The two main components that make up Factor 1 are the technical approach relative to the contract general performance work statement (Section C) and the technical proposal relative to the Seed TO PWS (found in Section J). Offerors must address both elements to meet the requirements of this factor.

3.1.1 Technical Approach for Base Contract

The Offeror’s Technical Approach for the Base Contract will be examined for breadth, depth and relevance specific to NAICS Code 562112, Hazardous Waste Collection and Section C of the solicitation. The Offeror’s approach should articulate a clear understanding of the work requirements and the methodology that will be utilized to achieve objectives during the performance of the contract. While it is anticipated that the contract will be predominantly used at Fort Bliss, Texas and New Mexico, the contract is meant to address Department of Defense (DoD) and other Federal Government customer requirements primarily within the SWD area of responsibility. However, other CONUS geographic districts may request capacity under this contract, resulting in potential individual TOs for services outside the SWD area of responsibility.

Offerors shall demonstrate comprehensive and efficient technical approaches/procedures relevant to the diverse and wide range of waste streams generated and managed at DoD Hazardous Waste Management Storage Facilities (HWSF). In accordance with Section C, Offerors should specifically discuss their general approach for managing, supporting, and operating HWSF at DoD installations/locations that are fully compliant with all state, federal, and DoD requirements. Technical approach discussions should include any innovative approaches for any aspect of operating a DoD HWSF that have or could result in cost and time savings for the government. Major elements of HWSF program operations including but not limited to performance of hazardous, regulated, and universal waste pick-up and transportation services, waste minimization, neutralization, disposal operations, establishing/managing satellite accumulation points and other storage facilities, manifesting, and spill cleanup and remediation managed waste should be addressed.

3.1.2 Technical Proposal for Seed TO

The Seed TO PWS for work at Ft Bliss, TX is found in Section J. Subject to availability of funds, the government intends the Seed TO will be awarded concurrent with award of the basic IDC contract. Offerors shall provide a comprehensive technical proposal that addresses all base and option non-cost requirements of the Seed TO PWS in this factor. The Offeror’s Technical Proposal should articulate a clear understanding of the PWS requirements and the methodology that will be utilized to achieve PWS objectives during the performance period of the TO.

Program efficiencies and cost savings resulting from application of innovative approaches is a priority for the Ft Bliss HWSF program therefore Offerors are encouraged to utilize innovative approaches to degree possible. Rationale should be provided indicating why their specific proposed approach is technically feasible, cost effective, and compliant with all federal, state, and local regulations at Ft Bliss. The Offeror’s proposal should demonstrate the advantage to the Government of the proposed methodologies relative to all PWS requirements. The Offeror’s proposal should also demonstrate an understanding of the performance based nature of the TO and acknowledge and accept any risks associated with the proposed technical approach in meeting the PWS requirements.

The Offeror shall submit a Seed Task Order Milestone Schedule, without costs, that is consistent with their proposal and correlates to their Technical Approach. The Seed TO MS is presented as Seed TO Appendix A/Attachment 3 in Section J and includes the CLIN structure. Milestones should be definable that correlate to measurable steps necessary to the achievement of the performance objective. If awarded the Seed TO will become TO 0001 of the awarded contract.

As part of their Seed TO technical response, the Offeror shall also submit a detailed staffing and management plan and an activity and deliverable based milestone schedule (without cost) framework for achieving the proposed site-specific performance objectives and milestones. The plan shall include the following information at a minimum:

Description/discussion of the roles and responsibilities of key personnel for the technical, field, and management team, including key personnel, subcontractors, and other relevant team members based on the PWS requirements, and present an organizational chart specific to the Ft Bliss work.

Describe the strategy anticipated for achieving objectives and practical implementation and how the Offeror will manage the work to be performed for concurrent on-site services to ensure site specific performance objectives and milestones are achieved as scheduled.

Discussion of program risk and how it will be mitigated over the PoP, including how the Offeror will manage multiple and/or concurrent unforeseen events.

Present the Offeror’s approach for transitioning services from the existing contract to the new one, and hiring and retaining contractor personnel so as to prevent disruption of on-going services.

Describe how communication between stakeholders (USACE, Fort Bliss, Contractor, Regulators, and Community) will be maintained.

Discuss schedule risk and assumptions in completing the PWS objectives.

Describe how team members/subcontractors will be managed.

3.2 Factor 2, Tab 2 - Past Experience

Firms will be evaluated based on their experience in dealing with a wide variety of hazardous waste management services for the Department of Defense, as identified in Section C of the solicitation. The Offeror shall submit five (5) examples of comprehensive projects that best present the organization's/team’s Corporate and Program experience on projects that are relevant to the requirements of this contract. A project is defined below. Projects submitted by the Offeror should be the most relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort.

At least three (3) of the five (5) projects submitted must be from the Offeror as the prime contractor. The Offeror shall include the same projects in its past performance submittals.

Project/Contract/TO Summary submissions shall include the following:

The individual TO number, or stand-alone contract number.

Title of the project and a description of the hazardous waste services provided, including number of sites that were serviced, similarities between the project and the PWS, and project challenges or performance issues that were encountered and how those challenges or issues were addressed by the Offeror.

Offerors are encouraged to identify technical challenges/problems encountered on these contracts and discuss the corrective actions and/or solutions implemented that may have resulted in streamlined and more efficient operations and documented cost savings for the government. The Offeror must indicate whether it was the prime or subcontractor on each project. If the Offeror was the prime contractor, the Offeror shall also describe its primary role/duties in execution of the work (i.e. the major components of the project which were completed by the prime’s staff and major components which were subcontracted out).

A project is defined as: Work performed pursuant to one specific TO of an ID/IQ type contract at one site or multiple sites at a single installation or facility or work performed pursuant to a site-specific C-type (non-ID/IQ) contract for one site or multiple sites within a single installation or facility. A project may also be defined as work performed pursuant to one specific TO of an ID/IQ type contract or work performed pursuant to a C-type (non-ID/IQ) contract at multiple but ‘separate’ installations. An ID/IQ type contract or the performance of work pursuant to multiple TOs of an ID/IQ type contract does not represent a "project" within this definition. If the Offeror provides a specific TO as its "project," it shall provide the base contract number and the TO number for reference purposes. If the Offeror provides a site-specific contract as its "project," it shall provide the contract number for reference purposes. The projects must be at least 75% complete as of the date of this RFP and/or completed be within the last five (5) years.

4. VOLUME II – COST PROPOSAL

4.1 Volume II – Cost Proposal (there is no page limitation)

The Offeror shall submit, in Volume 2, the cost information described below. Volume 2 will be evaluated to determine the reasonableness, realism, affordability, acceptability, and allowability of each Offeror’s cost proposal over the life of the contract, and the adequacy and value of the cost data. The evaluation of the cost proposal contractual requirements will be done using the pass/fail method. The Offeror shall read cost proposal contractual requirements very carefully to ensure that all required items are present in the cost proposal. REMEMBER, the Government intends to award without discussions. All information required must be submitted with the cost proposal. Since the evaluation of the cost proposal represents a portion of the total evaluation as described in Section M, it is possible that an Offeror might not be selected for award because of unreasonable, unrealistic and/or incomplete cost proposal information and/or cost or pricing data.

The cost proposal shall consist of the following:

4.1.1 Sub-factor 1, Section B, Supplies or Services and Cost/Price

The price portion of this evaluation will be subjectively evaluated and a best analysis of the proposal as a whole performed to determine best value to the Government. A price analysis will be used, where appropriate, for the purpose of determining the reasonableness and best value of the proposals.

The offeror shall fill out Section B, Pricing Schedule for both office and field labor rates in its entirety. If the offeror has a different job title or if the offeror is proposing to use subcontracted labor in which the subcontractor uses a different job title for any of the listed employees, the offeror is instructed to conform to the notes in Section B and use the most appropriate or similar job title listed in the table (i.e.: Clerical/Administrative Assistant). The proposed labor rates are to be fully burdened rates [to include overhead, general and administrative costs, facility capital cost of money, escalation, etc.] with the exception of profit which will be negotiated on individual TOs. The rates proposed in Section B will be legally binding and will be the maximum rates that the offeror will use for all firm-fixed price TOs issued within the five year performance period of the contract. Lower rates may be offered at the TO level, if deemed appropriate by the offeror. The offeror will provide proposed labor escalation rates for each year; however, the Contracting Officer will have the discretion to renegotiate those rates annually based upon the current Consumer Price Index.

4.1.2 Sub-factor 2 – Seed TO Cost Proposal

The Government has provided a Seed TO Performance Work Statement for the Offerors to prepare and submit a detailed cost/price proposal as part of their cost proposal submission for the

RFP. The Seed TO will be awarded concurrently with award of the basic contract. The Offeror shall propose a price on a firm fixed price (FFP) basis in accordance with the proposed Contract Line Item (CLIN)/sub-CLIN structure. The Offerors will utilize the proposed labor rates from their proposed bid schedule referenced above, for home office and field office personnel. The total FFP proposed cost shall be inclusive of all labor, materials, subcontracts, other direct costs, other indirect costs and profit to complete the performance based PWS, and will be compared to the Independent Government Estimate and evaluated to determine realism, reasonableness and distribution of costs. The Government will assess the Offerors’ technical understanding of the Seed TO base upon the disciplines used, the hours proposed, the overall price reasonableness, and corresponding risk to the Government. Price, for the Seed TO, will not be adjectivally rated and will be deemed as either “Reasonable” or “Unreasonable”, based upon the government’s cost analysis. The Government intends to evaluate the Offerors proposed price, inclusive of all base and option CLINS/sub-CLINS, to determine the best value to the Government.
