To ensure your submission is received and processed appropriately, it is important that interested parties CAREFULLY ensure their electronic files adhere to the following naming convention: Each filename shall begin with the solicitation number, followed by the word "PROPOSAL", followed by your firm's name, and finally a brief file description. EXAMPLES:

1. W912GB26RA004 PROPOSAL Firm name Volume I.pdf

2. W912GB26RA004 PROPOSAL Firm name Volume II. pdf

Volume I shall include the offeror's Management Approach and Past Performance information. Volume II shall include the Price proposal.

Offerors shall prepare proposals in the English language. Proposals shall be in a narrative format, organized and titled so that each section of the proposal follows the order and format of the factors.

Information presented should be organized to pertain to only the evaluation factor in the section that the information is presented. Proposals shall completely and adequately address the requirements of this Solicitation. Offerors are reminded that elaborate corporate marketing information, formatting, special reproduction techniques, etc., are not necessary.

4. TEAMARRANGEMENTS

As described in FAR Subpart 9.6, it is the Government's policy to recognize the integrity and validity of contractor team arrangements. For a teaming arrangement to be recognized for purposes of source selection evaluation and the application of non-price factors, there must be full disclosure of the teaming arrangement and company relationships in the team's proposal. The proposal must include a narrative that explains the major or critical aspects of the work to be performed by each team member (to include identification of team members, a full delineation of roles and responsibilities of team members, and the duration of the agreement, etc.). The proposal must also include an agreement that has been executed between/among all team members. The proposal and agreement must be consistent; substantive inconsistencies between the proposal and agreement may be construed against the Offeror. The timely submission of the executed teaming agreement prior to award shall be a precondition to a finding of responsibility. NOTE: For the purposes of evaluation under this RFP, if one of the parties in a teaming arrangement possesses relevant past performance, the past performance of that firm will be considered as the past performance of entire teaming arrangement.

Joint Ventures. An Offeror that is part of a Joint Venture must submit a legally binding joint venture agreement. The Government will not evaluate the capability of any Offerors that are not included in the Joint Venture agreement. Joint Ventures must include a copy of the legal joint venture agreement signed by an authorized officer from each of the firms comprising the Joint Venture with the chief executive of each entity identified and must be translated into English if the original agreement is in a language other than English.

If submitting a proposal as a Joint Venture, the past performance, technical approach and management approach of each of the Joint Venture Partners can be submitted for the Joint Venture Entity. The past performance for each Joint Venture Partner will be considered the past performance of the Joint Venture entity. Joint ventures shall submit with Volume I the following additional documentation regarding their business entities:

http://www.fsd.gov/fsd-gov/answer.do

a. A copy of their Joint Venture agreement in English.

b. A detailed statement outlining the following in terms of percentages, where appropriate.

1. The relationship of the joint venture parties in terms of business ownership, capital contribution, and profit distribution or loss sharing.

2. The management approach of the joint venture in terms of who will conduct, direct, supervise and control the project and have custody and control of the assets of the joint venture and perform the duties necessary to complete the work.

3. The structure of the joint venture and decision-ranking responsibilities of the joint venture parties in terms of who will control the manner and method of performance of the work.

4. The bonding responsibilities of the joint venture parties.

5. Identification of the key personnel having authority to legally bind the joint venture to subcontracts and state who will provide or contract for the labor and materials for the joint venture.

6. Identification of party maintaining the joint venture bank accounts for the payment of all expenses and the deposits of all receipts, keep the books and records, and pay applicable taxes for the joint venture.

7. Identification of party furnishing the facilities, such as office supplies and telephone service.

8. Identification of party having overall control of the joint venture.

Other sections of the proposal shall identify, where appropriate, whether key personnel are employees of the individual joint venture parties and identify the party or hired as employees of the joint venture.

If one of the joint venture parties possesses relevant past performance, the past performance of that firm will be considered as the past performance of the joint venture.

A complete and legally binding document with all the information required under this section titled "Joint Ventures" shall be included.

All members of the Joint Venture shall sign the Standard Form (SF) 33 required in the Volume II proposal.

Affiliates. In the case of an Offeror's affiliates, past performance of an Offeror's "affiliate," as that term is defined in FAR 2.101 will be evaluated (as described within this section) if the Offeror demonstrates a firm commitment that the affiliate will participate meaningfully (e.g., roles, responsibilities, etc.) in the performance of the contract resulting from this solicitation. This commitment, nature of each entity's relationship and meaningful participation shall be described in a document signed by authorized representatives of both the Offeror and its affiliate. If a teaming agree mentor commitment is not provided, the past performance of any affiliate or team members outside of the Prime Offeror will not be considered.

Other Teaming Arrangements. In the case of prime-sub teams (e.g., if an Offeror proposes to utilize a "key subcontractor"), the agreement must reflect that the prime contractor is vested with control and responsibility for the daily management of the work, and that it remains responsible for contract performance, including those items allocated to a subcontractor on the team. Offerors are reminded that the prime contractor remains fully responsible for contract performance, regardless of any team arrangement between the prime contractor and its subcontractors. However, consistent with FAR 9.104-4, the Government may consider the responsibility of subcontractor team members when it may adversely affect the prospective prime contractor's responsibility or when it is in the Government's interest to do so. Finally, any resulting subcontract(s) may not deviate from the substantive provisions of the teaming agreement. The failure of the Offeror to perform with one or more subcontractors on a recognized team may be grounds for termination for default. There can be no substitution of subcontractor team members except that, in the case of a prime-sub team arrangement, the Government may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation whatsoever),at the request of the prime, permit the substitution of a subcontractor with equivalent or greater capability for a subcontractor on the identified team. Note: Only a Contracting Officer can approve such a change after contract award.

5. NOTICE

An offer may be rejected if an offeror objects to any of the terms of this RFP, including any part of the PWS. The Government plans to award a contract without discussions, so an offeror may not have an opportunity to withdraw any objections that the offeror has made or provide any of the items of information described above, after the date and time that offers must be delivered to the Government.

Therefore, the Government urges the offeror to speak to the Government POC before objecting to any of the terms of this RFP, and to submit all of the items of information described above.

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

Evaluation Factors for Award (Section M)

1. BASISFOR AWARD

The Government will utilize the Best Value Tradeoff Process for Source Selection in accordance with FAR 15.101-1 to determine best value. This process permits tradeoffs among price and non-price factors. Award will be made to the Offeror proposing the combination most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the proposals received, including the evaluation factors described in this section. The Government considers it to be in its best interest to allow award to other than the lowest priced Offeror or other than the highest technically rated Offeror.

2. PROPOSALAND RELATED EVALUATION FACTORS

The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each proposal:

VOLUME I: NON-PRICE FACTORS

FACTOR 1 - Management Approach

FACTOR2 - Past Performance

VOLUME II: PRICE FACTOR

FACTOR3 - Price

Factor 1, Management Approach, is more important than Factor 2, Past Performance. The non-price factors (Factors 1-2), when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price (Factor 3)

A. VOLUME I, FACTOR 1: MANAGEMENTAPPROACH

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

9. Plan to procure necessary materials and equipment locally in Greece including a plan to provide three subcontractor quotes.

The Management Approach shall not exceed ten (10) pages and will not be read or evaluated beyond the first ten (10) pages. The organization chart and Schedule are not considered part of the ten (10) pages but have a maximum limit of twenty (20) pages. If more than twenty (20) pages are submitted for the organization chart and Schedule, only the first twenty (20) pages will be reviewed.

EVALUATION METHOD:

Evaluators will determine whether the Offerors demonstrate an understanding of the complexity and magnitude of requirements set forth in the Performance Work Statement.

The proposal submission for this factor shall include a brief narrative (conceptual work plan) that clearly demonstrates an understanding of requirements of the solicitation. The narrative should address and contain a description of the items below, and more consideration will be given to an Offeror that demonstrates greater understanding via their descriptions to these items:

1. Whether the proposal clearly delineates lines of authority, responsibility and communication between corporate staff, key on-site staff, subcontractors, and the Government. This information should be depicted on an organizational chart organized in a precise and logical manner, including all offices and key personnel involved with the management and execution of the contract. Offerors shall additionally specify the sole point of contact who is authorized to communicate directly with the U.S. Government.

2. Transition/Startup Plan: Whether the proposal clearly details in a logical and reasonable manner how the Contractor will approach Transition/Startup Plan at the required contractual start date and beginning of field operations.

b. Addresses how equipment information will be inventoried and validated

c. Addresses how the Offeror will become familiar with all installations that fall under the PWS

d. Demonstrates understanding of paperwork, invoicing, and reporting requirements, to include submission timeframes

3. Whether the proposal clearly identifies difficulties, uncertainties, and risks associated with the work and how the Offeror will minimize these risks.

4. Whether the proposal demonstrates the ability and plan to inspect, repair, test, certify, and operate the equipment and systems required by the PWS.

5. Ability to provide key personnel that meet the qualifications in accordance with the PWS.

6. Completeness of the draft project schedule with enough detail that it can become the basis of the schedule for the period of performance of the first year of the contract.

7. The degree that the proposal clearly specifies how to implement all requirements of the PWS.

8. The degree that the proposal demonstrates a reasonable process and rationale for the number and capability of staff to perform the tasks in a cost-effective manner, provide an adequate safety program, comply with regulatory requirements, and maintain the specific performance metrics.

9. How the contractor will track, report and schedule service orders concurrently, from the management standpoint and from the cost standpoint to ensure all work is conducted within the dollar threshold of the individual line item.

The Government may give additional considerations, in the form of assigned strengths, to Offerors demonstrating of the criteria listed below:

- Corporate registration (if applicable) and possession of any required permits /certifications, or qualifications issued by the Greek authorities.

- Bi-lingual Prime Contractor PM fluent in Greek and English.

For this factor, Offerors will be assigned a combined technical/risk rating from the following table, based on the evaluation of the Offeror's proposal in accordance with the requirements of the Solicitation. Highlighting or underlining strengths within proposal may be advantageous:

NON-PRICE FACTOR COMBINED TECHNICAL/RISK RATINGS

Color Rating Description

Blue Outstanding Proposal demonstrates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths and/or at least one significant strength, 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 or significant 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 Un-acceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation and, thus, contains one or more deficiencies and is unawardable, and/or risk of performance is unacceptably high.

Risk levels as described in the adjectival ratings in the combined technical/risk rating table will be assessed according to the following guidelines:

NON-PRICE FACTOR TECHNICAL RISK RATING

Adjectival

Rating Description

Low

Proposal may contain weakness/weaknesses which have low potential to cause disruption of schedule, increased cost, or degradation of performance. Normal contractor emphasis and normal Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties.

Moderate

Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which may have a moderate potential to cause disruption of schedule, increased cost, or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties

High

Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which is likely to have high potential to cause significant disruption of schedule, increased cost, or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will unlikely be able to overcome any difficulties.

Unacceptable Proposal contains a deficiency or a combination of significant weaknesses that causes an unacceptable level of risk of unsuccessful performance.

B. VOLUME I, FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

SUBMISSIONREQUIREMENTS:

The Offeror shall submit a maximum of five (5) projects completed within the last six (6) years (from the RFP issued date) which are similar to this project in size and scope.

Projects completed more than six (6) years before the RFP issue date may be considered for evaluation purposes but may lessen the overall relevancy rating for that project. The Government defines substantially complete as project completion of at least 80% of the awarded contract scope/amount. The Offeror must explain how the project has been calculated or determined to have met 80% completion.

A project is defined as a work performed pursuant to one specific contract at one facility or multiple facilities at a single installation, or work performed at one facility or multiple facilities at multiple installations.

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.

The Source Selection Team (SST) will next review how well the offeror performed on those projects. The Government reserves the right to check any of all cited references to verify supplied information and to assess owner satisfaction. In addition to the information submitted by the offeror, the Government may review any other sources of relevant information for evaluating past performance, including similar projects other than those submitted by the offeror. The Government may, at a minimum, review past performance information retrieved through the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/Unique Entity Identifier numbers identified in the offeror's proposal. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved from inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

The Government will assign a final, overall Performance Confidence rating, using the ratings in the Performance Confidence Assessment table below. The Government will review all past performance information collected and determine the quality of the offeror's performance, general trends, and usefulness of the information and incorporate this information into the performance confidence assessment. The past performance confidence assessment rating is based on the offeror's overall record of recency, relevancy, and quality of performance.

Note: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). If an Offeror has no relevant past performance history, the Offeror must affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant directly related or similar past performance.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

The Offeror is required to submit a complete Schedule of Items and Prices included as Appendix A to the solicitation. An Offeror that fails to submit a complete price proposal will be considered unacceptable and will not receive further consideration.

(iii) The price proposal is reasonable: Price reasonableness will be determined based upon comparison of an offeror's price proposal with the Independent Government Estimate (IGE), to prices in the market (market conditions may be evidenced by other competitive proposals) and to available historical pricing.

As part of the price evaluation, the Government will evaluate the Option to Extend Services under FAR Clause52.217-8. The prices for Option Period 4 (year 5) will apply to the additional six months of services beyond year 5, if awarded per FAR 52.217-8.
