SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Below are the answers to questions submitted by offerors. Where offerors submitted the same/alike question, an answer has been provided that addresses the subject.

Where required, portions of the solicitation have been updated for clarity or accuracy.

Those portions have been highlighted.

1) RFP Section: Contractor Furnished Equipment, Paragraph 4.0, Page 9 & Equipment and Hours of Operation Schedule, Paragraph 5.4, Page 12. Could you please confirm vehicle requirements? The above referenced sections have conflicting information; i.e. page 9: six 32 passenger buses and one 26 passenger bus vs. page 12: three 32 passenger buses and four 26 passenger buses.

Answer: Paragraph 4.0 has been updated to refer to PWS Paragraphs 5.3 and 5.4 for equipment requirements and remove the ambiguity between the two sections.

2) Would NGB be proving secure parking for the contractor’s vehicles? If not, could you please list any specific parking requirements?

Answer: The TARC does not have any area capable of storing any contractor vehicles, equipment, or materials. As outlined under paragraph 6.1 (Volume 1 – Technical and Management Proposal Instructions), the offeror shall describe their internal policies/procedures for ensuring the security of their vehicles when not in use.

3) Can the Government please confirm the insurance requirements?

Answer: The contractor shall be responsible for providing proof of valid and current insurance at time of proposal submission. The carrier insurance should comply with all state/federal carrier transportation requirements for the Military District of Washington (Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C).

4) Government provided several requirements that related to the Contractor which is defined as the prime only on Page 7 of the solicitation.

a. RFP Section: Special Qualifications, Paragraphs 1.4.6.1-1.4.6.4, Page 5. The requirements outlined include Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) approved (MBA); being current with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, equipment registrations and inspections for carrying passengers;

registered with Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority and having current

Commonwealth of Virginia or similar state licensing for safety inspections and registration appropriate for passenger carrying vehicles. Will the government allow Contracting teams’ members collectively meet the requirements?

Answer: Contractor, as defined within the solicitation, refers to the prime contractor proposing for this effort. For paragraphs 1.4.6.2-1.4.6.4, the proposing prime contractor must meet the stated requirements as the Government has no privity of contract with any subcontractor or other proposed teaming partner.

Para 1.4.6.1 has been updated to reflect that only the prime contractor, not the prime contractor and subcontractors, be listed with DTMO.

b. Furthermore, RFP Section: Instruction to Offerors, Paragraph 1.0, Page 47 states the contractor must be an 8(a) small business which must be serviced by the Washington D.C. district office. Will the government accept offers from vendors serviced by a SBA office other than Washington DC?

Answer: The Government has removed this restriction from the instructions to offerors.

Regardless of the recorded address of the firm within the System for Award Management (SAM), the contractor must have the full capabilities (manpower, materials, equipment) to meet all the PWS requirements. This includes the capabilities to respond to the unforeseen breakdown of vehicles and the ability to provide replacements within stated deadlines (PWS Para 5.08).

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

The following have been modified:

52.212-1 ADDENDUM

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

1.0 INTRODUCTION. The offeror’s proposal shall be submitted electronically as outlined below.

This will be a 100% 8(a) small business set-aside acquisition. It is open to all 8(a) small businesses that meet the size standard of $15 million, as stated in NAICS 485113 (Bus and Other Motor Vehicle Transit Systems).

A single Firm Fixed Price contract is contemplated to be awarded based on a competition between 8(a) small businesses where the offeror’s proposal demonstrates the best value to the Government.

2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

2.1 The offeror’s proposal shall consist of four (4) volumes. The Volumes are I – Technical and Management Approach, II – Past Performance, III - Cost/Price and IV- Contractual Documents.

Files shall not contain classified data and the use of hyperlinks in proposals is prohibited. An Offeror's failure to adhere to all submission requirements may result in that proposal not being considered by the Government for award.

All supporting data required for development of the proposal shall be included or summarized in each proposal within the stated page limitations. Mere statements that the Offeror understands the requirements and can or will comply with the requirements without supporting information are not acceptable and may be reason for determining a proposal to be unresponsive.

2.1.1 Submittal of Solicitation Questions

The due date/time for questions will be April 01, 2019, 2:00PM EST.

Communications and questions concerning this solicitation or requests for clarification shall be made through e-mail to the Contracting Officer at ellieth.rodriguez.mil@mail.mil and the Contract Specialist at darrell.k.stokke.civ@mail.mil. Electronic mail attachments, if included, shall be prepared using Microsoft Office 2000 (or greater). The text of the e-mail shall indicate the number of any e-mail attachments and the file name of those attachments to ensure that the e-mail contains all documents submitted. When submitting questions and comments, please refer to the specific text of the RFP in the following format:

Subject: W9133L-19-R-2001 - NGB Transportation Reference: RFP Section ___, Paragraph(s) ____, Page(s) ____.

As soon as an Offeror is aware of any problems or ambiguities in interpreting the specifications, terms or conditions, instructions or evaluation criteria of this solicitation, the Offeror should promptly notify the Contracting Officer.

The Government is not obligated to provide responses to all questions submitted by Offerors, but will consider the responses, consolidate them, and submit responses onto the FBO.Gov portal under the listed solicitation.

The solicitation, amendments, notices, and other information will be made available on the FBO.Gov portal up to the time of the RFP closing. Offerors are advised to continuously monitor the FBO.Gov portal for new information. The Offerors are deemed to have knowledge of all documents that are posted to the www.fbo.gov website. Following the closing date/time, any communications shall be through e-mails to the company point of contact on the proposal cover sheet.

2.1.2 Discussions

(a) In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Clause 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors - Competitive Acquisition (Jan 2004), the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors, but reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In accordance with FAR 15.306(c)(2), if the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may make a competitive range determination for purposes of efficiency, consisting of only those proposals that have a reasonable chance of award without a major rewrite. Any Offeror eliminated from further consideration will be notified in writing.

Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. Offerors are cautioned to examine this RFP in its entirety, inclusive of clauses and provisions incorporated by reference, and to ensure that proposals contain all necessary information, provide all required documentation, and are complete in all respects. The Government is not obligated to make another request for the required information nor does the Government assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals.

During the evaluation process, the Government may request clarifications as needed.

Clarifications do not constitute discussions and an Offeror is not permitted to change its proposal in response to a request for clarification.

(b) Each Offeror shall submit a complete proposal package that contains all required volumes and fully addresses Government requirements outlined in the solicitation. A full proposal package, as outlined in table one below, shall be submitted no later than the date indicated on the front page of the SF1449, or SF30s if the date is extended, to the e-mail addresses listed below.

Should proposal revisions be required after RFP closing, the proposal revisions will be sent to the e-mail addresses below utilizing "W9133L-19-R-2001 - NGB Transportation" within the subject line.

Contracting Officer: MAJ Ellieth Rodriguez (ellieth.rodriguez.mil@mail.mil) Contract Specialist: Mr. Darrell Stokke (darrell.k.stokke.civ@mail.mil)

(b) Late Submissions. Offers, modifications, revisions, or withdrawals of Offers received after the date established in this RFP for receipt of proposals will be handled in accordance with FAR Clause 52.215-1. Offerors are advised that they must notify the contracting officer immediately if there is any change to their proposal after submission (e.g. a proposed employee departs the company or is no longer available).

Offerors are responsible for submitting proposals, and any modifications or revisions, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. Any proposal, modification, or revision received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless; a) it is received before award is made, AND b) the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition, AND c) there is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government’s control prior to the time set for receipt of offers, or was the only proposal received. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful proposal that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted. The offeror alone bears the responsibility for ensuring that the entirety of its proposal submissions is received in a timely manner.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The Offeror agrees to hold firm the prices in its offer for 120 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers.

(d) The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest and may waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

Proprietary information shall be clearly marked. The following shall be included in the narrative discussion:

6.1 VOLUME I – TECHNICAL & MANAGEMENT

Underneath the technical portion of the proposal (35 page limit), the offeror shall fully address how they will meet the technical and management execution of the work outlined within the PWS. The offeror should fully describe the processes to meet PWS requirements and the acceptable quality level noted. The offeror shall indicate the labor categories needed to perform the services, the experience and knowledge that personnel shall have to perform the tasks/functions as well as any certifications. The technical processes shall include how the offeror shall anticipate and react to unexpected situations.

The offeror shall detail their compliance to the special qualifications outlined under para 1.4.6 of the PWS.

The offeror shall discuss their processes to be utilized to ensure drive adherance to all standards.

The contractor shall describe their processes for ensuring security of contractor vehicles. This would include any facility clearance and security processes that contribute to the safety and security of the vehicles.

The prime offeror shall submit at least two (2) but no more than three (3) past performance references. In addition, the prime offeror can submit up to two (2) past performance references for each major subcontractor for recent performance (if applicable). A major subcontractor is defined as any subcontractor who will execute 10% or more of the expected workload. Recent past performance is defined as work performed not more than three (3) years prior to the date of the RFP due date. Relevant past performance is work performed under a single contract or order that is same or similar in scope, complexity, magnitude as the work identified in the PWS and has an annual dollar value of at least $300,000.00, held as either a prime or major subcontractor, with performance of at least twelve months.

If a submitted past performance does not meet the recency criteria, the contract/task order will not be evaluated. Contracts/task orders that are more closely aligned with the effort under this procurement will be more favorably rated.

Offerors are advised that in conducting the past performance assessment the Government will use data provided in the offeror's proposal, questionnaires, and data obtained independently from other sources. Since the Government may not necessarily interview all of the sources provided by the offerors, it is incumbent upon the offerors to explain the relevance of the data provided.

Offerors are reminded that while the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of providing the required information and demonstrating successful past performance rests with the offerors.

This volume shall be organized into the following sections:

As a minimum, the contractor shall develop QC procedures that address the areas identified in Technical Exhibit 1, Performance Requirements Summary. The QCP is due by the end of the first month of the contract to the COR. After acceptance of the QCP, the contractor shall obtain the Contracting Officer’s (KO) acceptance in writing of any proposed changes to its QCP.

1.4.2 Quality Assurance (QA): The Government will evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP).
