Point Of Contact at Fort McHenry Office is:

Joseph Huber

(410) 960-2405

OR

Jeffrey Peacock 202-546-2132 443-844-9290

The offeror should visit the site and take such other steps as may be reasonably necessary to ascertain the nature and location of the work and the general and local conditions that can affect the work or the cost thereof. Failure to do so will not relieve offeror from the responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty or cost of successfully performing the work. The Government will assume no responsibility for any understanding or representations concerning conditions made by any of its officers or agents prior to the execution of the contract, unless included in the Request for Quotation, the specifications or related documents. See FAR 52.236-3, entitled “Site Investigation and Conditions Affecting the Work.”

D. Required System for Award Management Registration.

By submission of a quote, the Offeror acknowledges the requirement that prospective awardee must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract resulting from this proposal. Lack of registration in the SAM database will make an Offeror ineligible for award. Offerors and contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements by calling 1-888-227-2423, or at: http://www.sam.gov.

E. Evaluation and Basis of Award.

The Government will award a firm-fixed-price (FFP) contract to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the requirements as stated in this request for quotation (RFQ). The award will be made using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method based on the following three (3) evaluation factors: Technical, Past Performance, and Price.

The Government intends to evaluate quotes and make award without questions to offerors. Therefore, the Offeror's initial quote should contain the Offeror's best terms from a Technical and Cost standpoint. Unclear quotes may not result in questions for clarifications. Offers with an omission or unclear quote may be judged to mean the contractor does not fully understand the requirements or understand what it takes to meet the requirements, regardless of the proposed cost/price, and will be rated unacceptable. In that case, the Offeror may be found unacceptable, and ineligible for award. The Government reserves the right to ask questions of offerors if the Contracting Officer determines them to be necessary.

1. OFFEROR SHALL PROVIDE A QUOTE FOR EACH LINE ITEM ON THE “BID SCHEDULE”. FAILURE

TO ABIDE MAY RESULT IN QUOTE BEING CONSIDERED NON- RESPONSIVE AND INELIGBLE FOR

AWARD.

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit.

The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating.

Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory Performance meets minimum contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract.

There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

(U) Unsatisfactory

Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable

No information or did not apply to your contract Rating will be neither positive nor negative.

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN FOR

BALTIMORE HARBOR DRIFT - DEBRIS REMOVAL SERVICE

BALTIMORE,

MARYLAND

21 February 2018

QASP – Vessel Maintenance

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN FOR

BALTIMORE HARBOR DRIFT - DEBRIS REMOVAL SERVICE

INTRODUCTION

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) has been developed to evaluate contractor actions while implementing this PWS. It is designed to provide an effective surveillance method of monitoring contractor performance for each listed objective on the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) in the maintenance contract.

The QASP provides a systematic method to evaluate the services the contractor is required to furnish.

This QASP is based on the premise the Government desires to maintain a quality standard in operating, maintaining, and repairing assets and that a maintenance contract to provide the work is the best means of achieving that objective.

The contractor, and not the Government, is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract. The role of the Government is quality assurance to ensure contract standards are achieved.

In this contract the quality control program is the driver for product quality. The contractor is required to develop a comprehensive program of inspections and monitoring actions. The first major step to ensuring a “self-correcting” contract is to ensure that the quality control program approved at the beginning of the contract provides the measures needed to lead the contractor to success.

Once the quality control program is approved, careful application of the process and standards presented in the remainder of this document will ensure a robust quality assurance program.

QASP – Vessel Maintenance

Performance Objective

Performance Standard SOW Para

Performance Threshold

Stage One twenty-yard bins at the location specified in the contract.

Visually check for one 20-yard bin. If present, make sure it is in good shape.

2.4.2a. 75% of work is without customer complaints.

Dump twenty- yard bin upon request by Debris Unit personnel within 24 hours.

Corps personnel should call vendor to request bin dump a day before bins are to be dumped.

2.4.2b. 75% of work is without customer complaints.

Turnaround time for dumps must be within 2 hours.

Corps personnel should keep track of when bin is dumped and return.

2.4.2c. 95% of work is without customer complaints.

Contractor is responsible for dumping all river debris placed in the bins.

Corps personnel will inspect returned bin to make sure all debris were removed.

2.4.2d. 95% of work is without customer complaints.

SURVEILLANCE: The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will receive complaints from Government personnel and pass them to the contractor's quality control inspector (QCI) for correction.

STANDARD: 75% of all work is without customer complaints for the service period.
