SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

A. GENERAL INFORMATION

Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) Objective: See attached Section C Paragraph 1.0 Objective, and subsections. The estimated capacity of this contract is $40,000,000.00. The Government has determined that the use of an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract is appropriate for this procurement as the Government cannot predetermine, above a specified minimum, the precise quantities of MMRP responses and OMRS that it will require during the contract period, but it can determine that a recurring need for the same type of services is anticipated. Under the resultant contract, the Government may issue Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) task orders or Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) task orders for any or all of the MMRP services and OMRS identified in the attached Performance Work Statement, Section C.

Volume I – Factor 1 – Technical Capability and Management

Tab 1 – Technical Capability

The Offeror shall provide a narrative of its technical capability to perform the requirements of this solicitation[i.e., “team” meaning collectively the prime contractor consisting of a company or cooperation, prime contractor with key subcontractor(s) identified with a signed letter of commitment from the key subcontractor(s) {A key subcontractor is considered any subcontractor that equals 20% or more of the prime contractor.}, or legally-binding partnering companies or corporations, e.g., partnership or joint venture] capability. The narrative should address the team’s capability to perform the following services at diverse locations inside the Contiguous United States, and possible sites in Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories: safely locate, identify, recover, evaluate, manage, and make final disposition of Material Potentially Possessing an Explosive Hazard (MPPEH), Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC), Munitions Debris (MD), and Range-Related Debris (RRD) at various project sites. Work performed under this Contract may include, but not be limited to project planning; assessments; inspections; surveys; geophysical investigations; studies,; cost analyses; preparation of Unified Federal Policy Quality Assurance Project Plan (UFP- QAPP)/ Accident Prevention Plan (APP) addenda; preparation of Explosive Safety Submissions (ESS), and Explosive Siting Plans (ESP); public involvement; remedial actions; recovery, storage, and disposal of MPPEH, MEC, MD and RRD; data management; training; permitting; and logistical support. In addition, OMRS work may also include vegetation (i.e., tree, grass, and brush) clearance, construction support as defined by EM 385-1-97 with Change 1, inspection of Cultural Debris (CD) for MEC and MPPEH, range maintenance and support activities

(which may include herbicide application, MEC and MPPEH removal, bulk target retrieval/deployment, construction support, etc.), and specified robotic construction activities such as earthwork (e.g., grading, etc.), trenching, utility installation, backfill and compaction, etc. The Offeror should demonstrate a clear understanding of the necessary requirements in performing the services listed above. The Offeror’s narrative should delineate the Offeror’s own capabilities and those capabilities that will be provided by team members. It is not necessary that an Offeror address each service or service location outlined above but gaps in demonstrated capability may result in a lower rating.

The Offeror shall provide a narrative describing at least three (3), but no more than six (6) examples of projects that demonstrate the Offeror's and its team members' Technical Capability. At least one (1) submitted project shall reflect HTRW Technical Capabilities. At least one (1) submitted project shall reflect MMRP Technical Capabilities.

If the Offeror provides a specific task order as its "project," it should provide the base contract number and the task order number for reference purposes. If the Offeror provides a site-specific/stand-alone “C- Type” contract as its "project," it should provide the contract number for reference purposes. Projects included shall have been completed no more than five years prior to the closing date of this solicitation. A 100%complete project is defined as work performed under a "project" as defined above that is physically 100% complete and has been accepted by the customer. An 80% complete project is defined as 80% of the contract dollar amount has been completed. Contractor shall provide dollars invoiced versus contract value. The project does not have to be contractually or administratively closed out. If the project has additional lingering requirements after the actual remediation effort has been performed and accepted by the customer (e.g.: Long Term Monitoring (LTM), construction support, 5 year reviews, final report reviews), the project may be used by the Offeror to show their experience and technical capability. The Offeror is cautioned that if the project does not fit the criteria above, it will not be considered by the Government when evaluating the Offeror’s breadth and depth of experience and technical capability.

Offerors should demonstrate the breadth and depth of their experience (and that of proposed Partnership, JV members, and/ or key subcontractors) in performing the full range/all of the tasks required as stated above.

Description of the Program, second paragraph. Breadth of experience is defined as the Offeror’s experience in performing the above range of services. Depth of experience is defined as the magnitude, significance, and applicability/relevance of the Offeror’s experience in performing the above range of services.

The types of information presented should include such information as to the scope of work (including project size, complexity, and any distinctive and/or unique features of the project); project location; contract type (i.e., whether performance based and whether FFP or CPFF); period of performance; contract dollar value; team members and their roles, the approach to the field work; how the project was managed (i.e., oversight of production, schedule, cost, quality, property management, and safety); and how challenges were handled. The Offeror should discuss the technologies, means and methods, and equipment used on projects and should discuss corporate experience and not the experience of individual employees.

The Offeror is free to include more or less information as deemed necessary to communicate the team’s technical capability recognizing that a reading of Volume I should demonstrate the areas to be evaluated under this solicitation and leave an evaluator with a complete understanding of all aspects of the team’s capability and experience to meet the terms and conditions of this solicitation throughout the contract term and recognizing that ambiguity or gaps in demonstrated capability may result in a lower rating.

Experience considered may include both government and commercial contracts in providing the same or similar products and services to accomplish the full range/all of the tasks required. For key subcontractor’s corporate experience to be considered, Offerors shall include letters unconditionally committing Key subcontractors to performance under this contract should it be awarded to the Offeror (as indicated in Volume I, Factor 1, Tab 2, Element 4). The government will not consider experience on subordinate or affiliated offices or subcontractors who will not be used in the proposed contract. The offeror, as the prime contractor, shall 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). The offeror shall also provide information on the project as to the size, complexity, and distinctive and/or unique features of the project. The offeror should provide evidence that it understands the CERCLA and/or RCRA requirements under various programs to include but not limited to Defense Environmental Restoration Program.
