9. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS

a. REQUIREMENT FOR SEPARATE T ECHNICAL AND PRICE PROPOSALS.

DO NOT MIX CONTENTS OF VOLUME 1 (Technical) AND VOLUME 2 (Price) IN THE SAME

BINDER.

(1) Each Offeror must submit a Technical Proposal and a Price Proposal. The Technical Proposal and the Price Proposal must be submitted as separate volumes. Both the Technical and Price Proposal shall be paginated (contain consecutive page numbers on each page).

(2) The outside cover of each separate volume (Vol 1 – Technical; Vol 2 – Price) must be clearly marked to indicate its contents and the identity of the Offeror. Additionally, identify the “original” Technical proposal and the “original” cost/price proposal on the outside cover.

(3) Both the Technical Proposal and the Price Proposal must be received by the closing date and time set for receipt of proposals.

(4) Pricing Schedule, Vol 2, shall be completed in full.

(5) Do not include any dollar amounts in the Technical Proposal that are taken from the Price Proposal.

(6) All information intended to be evaluated as part of the Technical Proposal MUST BE submitted within the Technical Proposal. Do not cross-reference material in the Price Proposal, or vice versa. Also, do not include links to websites in your proposal. Technical Proposals will not be provided to the price team and Price Proposals will not be provided to the technical team. Therefore, information submitted in the wrong volume could lead to the proposal being determined “unacceptable” if materially incomplete in any aspect.

(7) Do not attempt to modify the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the technical or price proposal or add conditions or qualifications to your offer. Should the offeror include terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the Solicitation, the offer may be determined "unacceptable" and thus ineligible for award. ANY QUESTIONS RELATED TO SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS

CONTAINED WITHIN THE SOLICITATION SHOULD BE RESOLVED PRIOR TO SUBMISSION OF

THE OFFER. Notwithstanding the above, the offeror must clearly describe on the Proposal Cover Sheet submitted with the Price Proposal any modifications to the contractual and/or technical terms and conditions of the solicitation contained in the Offer.

(8) FAILURE to submit required documents or FAILURE to properly complete documents may result in rejection of the offer without further evaluation. Therefore, offerors are urged to follow instructions carefully and to speak with the Contracting Officer if the offeror does not understand any part of the Solicitation.

b. DISCUSSIONS.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors.

Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary

c. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.

(1) Submit only the documents specifically required in this section. Do not submit excess information; do not include audio-visual materials, electronic media, etc.

(2) Use only 8 ½ by 11 inch paper or A4 paper for hard copy submissions, unless another paper size is specifically authorized elsewhere in this section for a particular submission. Do not use fold-outs (e.g., 11” x 14” or 11” x 17” sheets). Do not use a font size smaller than 10, an unusual font style such as script, or condensed print for any submission. All page margins must be at least one inch wide, but may include headers and footers. All pages must be numbered.

(3) The preferred method for assembling your proposal is to use three-ring binders; however, the use of pressboard or other report covers with compression or other type fasteners is acceptable.

Do not use plastic multi-hole/spiral binding systems, heat binding systems, or other systems which do not facilitate the ready insertion of additional pages. Do not include loose papers.

(4) References to “Confidential” projects cannot be submitted to demonstrate capability unless all of the information required for evaluation as specified herein can be provided to the Government as part of the offeror’s technical proposal. Offerors that include in their proposals information they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, must clearly mark their proposals in accordance with the instructions at FAR 52.215-1, “Instructions to Offerors— Competitive Acquisition,” paragraph (e), “Restriction on disclosure and use of data.”

(5) In the case of an offeror that is part of a large, multi-segmented business concern, provide information directly pertaining to the specific segment of the business concern (i.e., the division, group, unit, etc.) that will perform work under the prospective contract.

(6) For submissions with page limitations, the pages will be counted as follows: One side of the paper is one page; information on both the back and front of one sheet of paper will be counted as two pages.

a. A Joint Venture offeror must submit with its technical proposal a copy of the joint venture agreement upon which the Joint Venture organization has been formed. The joint venture agreement must indicate that the joint venture is in existence as of the date and time that proposals are due to be submitted; or, alternatively, that the joint venture will automatically take legal effect immediately upon notification to the joint venture of contract award.

b. The joint venture agreement must be signed by a representative of each joint venture partner who has the requisite authority to bind the partner to the agreement, with the chief executive of each entity identified.

c. To be acceptable to the Government, the joint venture agreement must clearly state within its terms that each member of the joint venture is jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations of the joint venture itself with respect to completion of all work and services under the contract expected to result from the Solicitation.

d. The terms of the joint venture must detail, in terms of percentages, where appropriate, the relationship of the joint venture parties in terms of business ownership, capital contribution, and profit distribution or loss sharing.

11. SUB-CONTRACTOR CONTRACTORS

a. If an offeror wishes to receive credit for the experience or past performance of a Sub-Contractor, including a firm that is a proposed Sub-Contractor to the prime Contractor or a joint venture partner, the offeror must submit a letter of commitment to subcontract under the proposed project, signed both by the Sub-Contractor and the offeror.
