SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 09-Jul-2024 01:00 PM to 16-Jul-2024 01:00 PM.

The following have been modified:

ADDENDEM TO 52.212-1

ADDENDUM. The offeror’s proposal shall be submitted electronically as outlined in the instructions above and below.

The due date/time for proposals will be 09 16 July 2024, 1:00PM ET.

The due date/time for questions will be 20 June 2024, 1:00PM ET.

This will be a 100% 8(a) set-aside acquisition. The NAICS code for this acquisition will be 485113 (Bus and Other Motor Vehicle Transit Systems). The PSC is V212.

A single Firm Fixed Price contract is contemplated to be awarded based on a competition between 8(a) businesses where the offeror’s proposal demonstrates the best value to the Government. This procurement is subject to procedures arising under FAR 15, FAR 12, and FAR 19.8.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The offeror’s proposal shall consist of three (3) volumes. They are:

Volume I – Technical and Management Approach Volume II – Past Performance Volume III - Price

The proposals 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.

Submittal of Solicitation Questions

Communications and questions concerning this solicitation or requests for clarification shall be made through e-mail to the Contracting Officer and the Contract Specialist. Electronic mail attachments, if included, shall be prepared using Microsoft Office 2007 (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: W9133L24R3084 - TARC Transportation Services”

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 SAM.gov portal under the listed solicitation.

The solicitation, amendments, notices, and other information will be made available on the SAM.gov portal up to the time of the RFP closing. Offerors are advised to continuously monitor the SAM.gov portal for new information. The Offerors are deemed to have knowledge of all documents that are posted to the SAM.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.

Discussions

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Clause 52.212-1, 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. 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.

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:

Contracting Officer: Mr. Paul Brown (paul.d.brown212.civ@army.mil)

Contract Specialist: Dr. Paul Sindze (paul.sindze.civ@army.mil)

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).

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.

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.

These instructions are intended to be read in conjunction with and in compliance with FAR 52.212-1.

However, page limits shall not include table of contents, indices, list of tables, and list of acronyms.

Content

All information shall be confined to the appropriate file. The offeror shall confine submissions to essential matters, sufficient to define the proposal and provide adequate basis for evaluation.

Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details, in a concise manner, to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each proposal. Proprietary information shall be clearly marked. The following shall be included in the narrative discussion:

VOLUME I – TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT APPROACH

In the technical and management approach (15-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 in Technical Exhibit 1.

The offeror shall indicate the labor categories and hours for each category 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. Examples of possible situations are road construction, detours, accidents, as well as vehicle malfunctions.

The offeror shall detail their compliance to DTMO regulations outlined in the PWS. For this procurement, the National Guard Bureau is prescribing a pass/fail gate criteria that offerors must be on the Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) approved list.

The offeror shall discuss their processes to be utilized to ensure drive adherence 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.

T h e C o n t r a c t o r s h a l l c o m p l e t e A t t a c h m e n t 3 s t a f f i n g t a b l e a s p a r t o f t h e i r p r o p o s a l s u b m i s s i o n p a c k a g e .

The offeror shall also indicate the organizational structure and include any major subcontractors being proposed. A major subcontractor is any firm that will perform financially 10% or more of the work under the contract. The offeror shall describe the supplies/equipment required to perform the services and the availability of this equipment within your firm.

VOLUME II – PAST PERFORMANCE.

Offerors shall submit past performance references using the past performance questionnaire. The prime offeror shall submit no more than three (3) past performance references. In addition, the prime offeror can submit up to one (1) 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 as a whole not more than three (3) years prior to the date of the RFP due date.

Relevant past performance is work performed as a whole under a single contract or order that is same or similar in scope as the work identified in the PWS and has an annual dollar value of at least $250,000.00, 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 may 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, like the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), the burden of providing the required information and demonstrating successful past performance rests with the offerors.

This volume and each example shall be organized into the following sections:

Section 1: Past Performance Questionnaire

The offeror shall complete Part A of the Past Performance Questionnaire and e-mail the questionnaire to the technical representative responsible for the referenced contract.

Technical representatives shall be instructed to coordinate and electronically complete only one (1) copy of the questionnaire for each contract. Should the soliciting contracting office receive two responses for one proposed past performance record, the soliciting contracting office will only review one of the two responses received.

Technical representatives shall be instructed to e-mail the entire questionnaire to the soliciting Contracting Office no later than the proposal due date. The offeror shall e-mail to the soliciting Contracting Office a list of all the POC’s who were sent a questionnaire. The Government must receive this list no later than the proposal due date. The Government will use CPARS in lieu of questionnaire if available.

Section 2: Performance Narratives

Offerors shall provide a specific narrative explanation of each contract/task order sent in Section 1 describing the objectives achieved and detailing how the effort is relevant to the requirements of this solicitation. Not to exceed two (2) pages in length for each contract/task order.

For any contracts that did not/do not meet original schedule or technical performance requirements, provide a brief explanation of the reason(s) for the shortcomings and any corrective action(s) taken to avoid recurrence. The offerors shall list each time the delivery schedule was revised and provide an explanation of why the revision was necessary. All requests for deviation and requests for waiver shall be addressed with respect to causes and corrective actions. The offerors shall also provide a copy of any Cure Notices or Show Cause letters received on each contract listed and a description of any corrective action implemented by the offeror or proposed subcontractor. The offerors shall indicate if any of the contracts/task orders listed were terminated and the type and reasons for the termination. Additionally, as it relates to the work outlined in the PWS, the offeror will indicate in any past performance for transportation services where the offeror was cited for at-fault accidents.

The Government will not evaluate the past performance of individuals, predecessor corporations or corporate parent/affiliates; provided, however, that for a joint venture formed to perform this effort the Government will consider the past performance of members in the event that there is a contractual commitment that all members will continue as part of the joint venture during the entire period of performance of the contract and, a Joint venture agreement is submitted with the proposal (will not count against page limitations);

provided, further, that for other than a joint venture the Government will consider past performance of a parent or affiliate as equal to that for a prime offeror where the offeror includes an express commitment of resources that clearly demonstrates and describes how (1) the resources of the parent or affiliate were meaningfully involved in the past performance contract, and (2) the resources of the parent or affiliate that were meaningfully involved in the past performance contract will be available to and meaningfully involved in performance under this Contract. Meaningful involvement shall address, for example, conditions such as interlocking officers and board of directors, the parent’s officers taking an active role in contract performance and contract management, and/or substantive support provided by the parent’s corporate office or affiliate.

The express commitment of resources for past performance (1) shall be submitted with Section 2 of Volume II - Past Performance, and (2) shall be provided for in a signed letter from an official with the authority to commit the resources of the parent or affiliate company, as applicable, and who is also authorized to enter into contracts with the Government. The express commitment of resources shall be submitted on the parent or affiliate company’s letterhead.

VOLUME III – PRICE

The Price Proposal shall present the Offeror’s Total Contract Price (including options) required to meet solicitation requirements. The offeror shall submit its price proposal using the Pricing Model spreadsheet (for labor calculations). Under no circumstances shall pricing information be included elsewhere in the proposal. Attachment 5 Pricing workbook is provided to be used for pricing proposal.

The offeror shall organize the Volume III Price proposal according to the outline in Table II below.

Table II. Volume III Price Proposal

Fill-in attachment 5.

Tab: Total Evaluated Price The offeror shall provide the total contract value in this tab, which will be the total evaluated price used by the government. Since will be a firm-fixed price contract, this tab shall encompass all the contractor’s final pricing for this requirement. The rows on this table shall not be added to or subtracted from.

Volume IV - Representations and Certifications

The offeror shall complete all fill-ins and signature blocks for the contract sections indicated below using the file (without modification to the files) provided with the solicitation and amendments. If a fill-in is not applicable, so indicate. Do not leave any fill-ins blank. An official authorized to bind the company shall sign the SF1449 and all certifications requiring original signature. An Adobe Acrobat file, “.pdf”, shall be created to capture the signatures for submission.

The Offeror shall submit a completed and signed SF 1449 Representations, Certifications, and Other Statements of Offerors Acknowledgement of Amendments (SF 30) Fill-in only clauses of Clauses Incorporated by Full Text VETS-4212 Verification Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI) or Conflicts of Interest Letter certifying 8(a) status from the SBA Signed PIEA Letter, see Attachment 6.

Conflicts of Interest (COI).

Any contractor (or member of its team and/or subcontractor) having a conflict of interest as defined under FAR part 9.5 must identify the conflict as soon as it is known and provide a mitigation plan. For any potential conflicts of interest known by the offeror at the time of proposal submission, a mitigation plan shall be submitted with the proposal. Failure to do so may result in a disqualification of the proposal.

Clarifications.

If award will be made without discussions, offerors may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of the proposal or resolve minor or clerical errors (see FAR 15.306[a][1] and [2]) at the SSA’s discretion. Clarifications shall be documented on, and conducted via transmittal of, emails to the applicable offeror. Each email shall clearly indicate that the type of exchange being conducted is “Clarification.” Offerors are not given an opportunity to respond to any identified weaknesses or deficiencies or revise their proposals. Instead, the SSA makes a best value decision based upon the evaluations of the initial proposal as submitted.
