Appendix A FOR REFERENCY ONLY; this contract is to replace this older video:

“PACIFIC SALMON” VIDEO SCRIPT

NARRATOR (Female):

1My family has lived in the northwest for generations and we have seen a lot of changes, but not nearly as many as the salmon /

2Salmon that were here long before the people / 3hatching in cool mountain streams / growing there into young fish called Smolts / 4Then something happens, a signal in their body, a change tells them to move with the current downstream / 5into the Columbia River, down to where the river meets the sea /

6And after adjusting to salt water the salmon journey out into the ocean / 7growing large in the food rich waters of the Pacific. After a long stay in the deep ocean waters, usually more than a year / 8the end of one journey begins another / 9one of nature’s most awesome migrations.

10Leaving the ocean, salmon return as a group to retrace the route they took as juveniles / 11Now fully grown, the fish stop feeding and battle their way up the river / 12to the streams of their birth.

Here the cycle begins anew / 13The females, turning on their sides dig nests with their tails / 14as males battle for access to females. Together they release milt and eggs. The female covers the nest with gravel, and for some species / 15both, completely exhausted, die.

16FADE / / / 1:55 ♫

17Then came the people / 18For thousands of years the salmon the Columbia and Snake rivers provided

Indians in the region with / 19bountiful food, and a spiritual link to the natural world / 20And for thousands of years the Indians did not substantially alter the habitat that salmon needed for survival.

21FADE / / 2:22 ♫

22Then with the coming of the Euro-Americans, the pressures on the salmon grew / 23Entrepreneurs followed the settlers in the 1800’s setting up canneries / 24Fish were caught by the millions in nets, fish traps / 25weirs / 26and fish wheels. Harvesting peaked in the 1880’s as fish runs dropped drastically / 27and spawning habitat was being reduced / 28at an alarming rate.

29FADE / / / 2:53 ♫

In the 20th century dams were built / 30creating additional / 31obstructions and hazards for salmon. The salmon runs were further depleted / 32by over harvesting / 33forest practices / 34grazing / 35and other habitat degrading activities/

36All this contributed to reducing the salmon runs in the Columbia River to below 3 million per year down from as many as 16 million/

NARRATOR:

37What’s being done to help the salmon? Well, many groups are looking at ways of perpetuating the migration:

commercial and sports anglers, timber companies, farmers and numerous government agencies/

38The Walla Walla District of the US Army Corps of Engineers helps by moving salmon around the dams and cooperates with the National Marine Fisheries Service, the US Fish and Wildlife Service / 39and other agencies to transport young fish down river to help them avoid hazards.

Let’s listen to Corps of Engineers Fishery Biologist [____________] /

BIOLOGIST:

40The main purpose of the juvenile bypass system here at McNary is to divert the fish as they are migrating to the ocean, on their seaward journey from hazards associated with the dam, both as they pass through the dam and as they pass from dam to dam in the river

41They are collected by diverting the fish away from the turbine intakes through special guiding screens, up into a slot inside the dam, or a channel. They exit the slots through some 12 inch ports into a common collection channel which then funnels down into a 36 inch pipe that you see here behind me. That pipe then carries the fish down to a sorting facility that can /

/ 42sort the fish by size, divert a portion of them into a sample where we can examine them for health, condition, size, and species composition. Then a major portion of the fish are /

/ 43loaded into holding ponds / 44waiting to be loaded onto barges or trucks for transport below the other dams. To date, the salmon transport program seems to be one of the best protective measures we can / 45undertake in order to ensure survival of salmon in the future. It is unfortunate that the dams which are so beneficial /

/ 46to the people of the Northwest in providing power for light and heat and industry and doing so much good for the economy and the livelihood of the people, have caused so many negative problems with the fish /

NARRATOR:

47As you can see, it is a challenge. Pacific Salmon are one of our greatest resources, and their migration one of nature’s most amazing sights. To keep them the remaining salmon runs in the Pacific Northwest we must all cooperate to ensure healthy habitat for salmon, and help with their migration. But we must also take into account the needs of people. It is a tricky balance, but the US Army Corps of Engineers is proving that there are solutions.

Walla Walla District Fish Program Key Messages

The Corps is a good environmental steward o The Corps has completely overhauled dams along the Snake and Columbia Rivers for the benefit of fish.

The Walla Walla District adaptive fish management program is part of an overall fish management program o NOAA Fisheries is the lead federal regulatory agency overseeing ESA-listed anadromous salmonid protection and recovery (i.e. salmon, steelhead, sockeye) o US Fish and Wildlife Service is the lead regulatory agency overseeing ESA-listed resident salmonid protection/recovery (i.e. bull trout and other candidate species such as pacific lamprey) o We partner/consult with regional Native American nations and states as we move forward on implementing actions for the benefit of fish

We let science tells us what works best for fish o Our cutting-edge research program has guided fish actions.

o Essentially, we let the science tells us what’s best for juvenile fish as they swim to the Pacific

Ocean.

o As part of this overhaul, we’ve modified spillways on our dams, created bypass systems, and transported young fish downstream in barges.

o These efforts help juvenile fish travel efficiently, quickly, and safely.

o When adult fish return from the ocean years later, our fish ladders help them swim past the dams.

Our adaptive management and fish recovery efforts are working o Juvenile fish survival at our dams has improved dramatically over the years.

o We’ve seen record returns of adult steelhead, sockeye and Chinook salmon in recent years.

We plan to build on our success o In 2008, the Corps committed $50 million during the next 10 years to improve lamprey passage conditions at our operating projects o We look forward to building our collaborative relationship with our tribal partners as we implement important lamprey passage improvements.

The Corps is involved in three of the four “H”’s of salmon management o Habitat – A critical factor.

o Hydro System (Dams) – The Corps operates dams on the Columbia/Snake Rivers for the benefit of fish Juvenile fish facilities Fish ladders Spillway weirs o Hatcheries – Part of an overall plan, but not a sole solution Hatchery fish are different than natural-origin (wild) fish – Not all fish are the same o Harvest – Not up to the Corps; rather, up to other agencies and tribal nations

We’re Openly Communicating o See District website at 10 for information and updates

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

BASIS FOR AWARD

This award will be made based on the best overall (i.e., Best Value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the four (4) evaluation factors: Experience, Technical Approach, Past Performance, and Price. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for the Experience, Technical Approach, and Past Performance Factors (to include all sub-factors). Offerors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price offered.

Non-priced factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price. However, when the proposals are of relatively equal merit, price becomes more important.

FACTORS AND SUB-FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

Award will be made to the Offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and sub-factors described below. During evaluations of each proposal, the Government will assign each factor and sub-factor an adjectival rating and write a narrative evaluation reflecting the identified findings.

Factor 1 Experience Submit information regarding recent and relevant projects with similar scope and complexity as outlined in the Technical Specifications. Submittals may include photographs, drawings, etc.

Minimum requirement for acceptability: Evidence of two videos with similar scope and complexity.

Evaluation Methodology for Factor 1 shall use Combined Technical/Risk Ratings as follows:

Rating Description

Outstanding

Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

Good

Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Acceptable

Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal

Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable

Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is unawardable.

Factor 2 Technical Approach

A) Approach and Methodology: submit an explanation of your proposed approach to this requirement as outlined in the Technical Specifications. Describe in detail your proposed solution for the video.

Submittal of sketches, photographs, and/or drawings to convey your idea is encouraged.

Minimum requirement for acceptability: A proposed solution that addresses the requirements in the Technical Specifications and appears feasible in comparison to the budget range.

Evaluation Methodology for Factor 2, including all sub-factors shall use Combined Technical/Risk Ratings as follows:

Outstanding

Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

Good

Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Acceptable

Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal

Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable

Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is unawardable.

Factor 3 Past Performance Submit three (3) references from past clients for similar projects.

The past performance evaluation will result in an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. Offerors will be evaluated based on the information provided in the proposal and any other available information determined appropriate by the Government.

The Government reserves the right to verify claims made by the Offeror and not to consider relevant those projects that are not substantiated.

Unavailability of Past Performance Information: IAW FAR Part 15.305(a)(2)(iv), in the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

Evaluation Methodology for Factor 3, using the following 4-point relevance scale:

Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant

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

Somewhat Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved some of the 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.

Each Offeror will be assigned a Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings as follows:

Substantial Confidence

Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence

Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence

Based on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Factor 4 Price

An evaluation will be performed on the proposed prices. The evaluation will not be assigned an adjectival rating, yet it will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness as follows:

1. Completeness: To be complete, the Offeror must provide all data that is requested and necessary to evaluate the price. The Government will assess the extent to which the proposed prices comply with the content and format requirements set forth in this solicitation.

2. Reasonableness: The Offeror’s proposal is evaluated through price analysis techniques as described in FAR Subpart 15.305(a)(1). For Price to be reasonable, it must represent a price that provides best value to the Government when consideration is given to prices in the market (market conditions may be evidenced by other competitive proposals), technical, and functional capabilities of the Offeror. The Offeror's price will be evaluated to determine if any are unreasonably high or low in relation to the anticipated work under the contract, as well as with current industry standards.

EVALUATION APPROACH

The overarching evaluation approach for all factors and sub-factors is as follows:

1. Adequacy of Response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s methods and approach have adequately and completely considered, defined, and satisfied the requirements specified in the RFP. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which each requirement has been addressed in the proposal in accordance with the proposal submission section of the RFP.

2. Feasibility of Approach. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the proposed approach is workable and the end results achievable. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which successful performance is contingent upon proven devices and techniques. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the offeror is expected to be able to successfully complete the proposed tasks and technical requirements within the required schedule.

Relative Importance of Evaluation Factors and Sub-factors

Under Factor 2, sub-factors are equal in importance.

Non-price Factor/Sub-factors, when combined, are significantly more important than Factor 4.

Definitions

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

Recency: 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: 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 source solicitation requirements; and a measure of the likelihood that the past performance is an indicator of future performance for work that is similar in nature, magnitude, and complexity to the current requirement.

Risk: The potential for unsuccessful contract performance. The consideration of risk assesses the degree to which an Offeror’s proposed approach to achieving the technical factor or criterion may involve risk of disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and the likelihood of unsuccessful 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.

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

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

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