INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION (Section L)

A. INTRODUCTION

This requirement is set aside for small businesses under NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty

Trade Contractors, Size Standard $15.0M). Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) (https://www.sam.gov/portal/SAM/#1) as a small business under NAICS 238990. Proposals shall remain valid for a period of at least 180 days from the closing date of the solicitation.

Proposals must be submitted electronically by email to Alyssa Grice, Contract Specialist, at alyssa.r.grice.civ@mail.mil and Erin Weber, Contracting Officer, at erin.k.weber.civ@mail.mil. It is the responsibility of the offeror to allow adequate time to submit proposal files before the submission deadline. Any proposal that is received after the appointed deadline is “late” and may not be considered for award.

In order to be considered for award, each Offeror must submit their proposal in accordance with these instructions. Failure to adhere to these instructions may result in rejection of the offeror’s proposal without evaluation or consideration for award. All proposal information submitted shall be concise and complete and demonstrate that the Offeror understands and meets the requirements established in the solicitation for all Factors and sub-factors. The Government will consider how well the Offeror complied with the instructions when evaluating the Offeror’s capability to perform the prospective contract. The Government will consider an Offeror’s non-compliance with these instructions, or any attempt to take advantage of loopholes in these instructions, to be indicative of the type of conduct that it may expect from the Offeror during contract performance.

The offeror’s proposal shall consist of four (4) volumes. The Volumes are I – Technical, II – Past Performance, III - Price, and IV – Solicitation, Offer and Award Documents, and Certifications/Representations. Each volume shall be contained in a separate electronic file.

Proposals shall not contain classified data. The use of hyperlinks in proposals is prohibited.

Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each proposal. Proprietary information shall be clearly marked.

Offerors are cautioned that mere promises to comply with contractual requirements are insufficient basis for a favorable rating. Offerors are cautioned that “parroting” of the Technical requirements or the PWS with a statement of intent to perform does not reflect an understanding of the requirement or capability to perform.

B. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

The Offeror's initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms from a technical and cost standpoint. Offerors shall submit a written proposal before or by the date and time specified in Block 9 of the Standard Form 33 (SF 33). Along with their proposal, Offerors must submit fully completed copies of any FAR certifications appearing in Section K of this solicitation.

Price information shall not appear in any document other than Volume III.

Printing should be single spaced. Each paragraph shall be separated by at least one blank line. A standard, 12-point minimum font size applies. Arial or New Times Roman fonts are required.

Tables and illustrations may use a reduced font size no less than 8-point and may be landscape.

The following volumes of material shall be submitted:

VOLUME TITLE MAXIMUM PAGES

I – Technical 50 II – Past Performance 50 III – Price No Limit

IV - Solicitation, Offer and Award Documents and 25 Certification/Representations

NOTE: Pages that exceed the required page limitations will not be evaluated. Page count includes all pages including but not limited to; cover sheet, table of contents, body and all appendices. Resumes do not count toward page limits. Additional pages over the maximum allowed will be removed or not read and will not be evaluated by the Government.

C. PROPOSAL FILES

1. Format The submission shall be clearly indexed and logically assembled. Each volume shall be clearly identified and shall begin at the top of a page. The title page or first page of each volume shall include the offeror’s name, CAGE code, address, and point of contact. All pages of each volume shall be appropriately numbered and identified by the complete company name, date and RFP number in the header and/or footer. A Table of Contents should be created using the Table of Content feature in MS Word. MS Word (doc) files shall use the following page setup parameters:

Margins – Top, Bottom, Left, Right – 1” Gutter – 0” From Edge – Header, Footer 0.5” Page Size, Width – 8.5” Page Size, Height – 11”

NOTE: 11X17 sized pages are acceptable for tables/graphic representations; however, each 11X17 page counts as two pages.

2. File Packaging Files shall be in read-only format, using PDF files. Each proposal volume shall be submitted in separate PDF files. All price breakdown information to aide in the cost/price evaluation shall be submitted in Microsoft Office Excel Read/Write format and viewable in Microsoft Excel 2007.

**Please note – Self extracting exe files are not acceptable. **

3. Content Requirement All information shall be confined to the appropriate file. The offeror shall confine submissions to essential matters, sufficient to define the proposal in a concise manner, to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each proposal. Each file of the proposal shall consist of a Table of Contents, Summary Section, and the Narrative discussion. The Summary Section shall contain a brief abstract of the file. The Government will use information provided under each Volume strictly to evaluate the applicable Factor and will not use that information to evaluate any other Factor. Within the Technical Factor Volume, Sections for each sub-factor within the Technical Volume shall be clearly identified. Proprietary information shall be clearly marked. The evaluation of each sub-factor will be limited to the information provided in the applicable section and nothing will be assumed. Information provided in one section to address one sub-factor will not be evaluated for purposes of any other sub-factor.

The following information shall be included in the Narrative discussion:

(i) VOLUME I – Technical.

In accordance with the PWS and all other requirements described in in the Solicitation, Offerors shall address the following sub-factors within their proposals. All costs related to the Technical proposal shall be reflected in the Cost/Price volume.

In accordance with the PWS and all other requirements described in the Solicitation, Offerors shall demonstrate a minimum of 3 years (occurring within the past 5 years) of experience in each competency area listed in the table below. Years of experience are measured by elapsed time of directly applicable experience and not the equivalent accumulated time of personnel on staff.

(a) 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 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 listed were terminated and the type and reasons for the termination.

Past Performance Questionnaire For all contracts identified in Section 1, Contract Descriptions, a Past Performance Questionnaire (Solicitation Attachment 2) must be completed and submitted. The offeror shall complete Part I of the Past Performance Questionnaire and e-mail the questionnaire to both the Government contracting activity and technical representative responsible for the past/current contract. The POCs shall be instructed to electronically complete Part II of the questionnaire and e-mail the entire questionnaire to the Contracting Office no later than the proposal due date.

The offeror shall include a list of all the POC’s who were sent a questionnaire in the proposal. The POC List shall the following information: Solicitation Number; Company Name; Contract Number; Government Agency; POC Last Name, First Name; POC Title;

POC Telephone Number; POC E-mail Address; and Date E-Mailed to POC (month/day).

Submissions Offerors are discouraged from providing points of contact with another contractors’ facility, i.e., in case an offeror (or one of his/her team members) is in a subcontract with another contractor who has submitted a proposal on the same requirement. Offerors shall provide and submit the prime contract number and all Governmental agency points of contact (POC) in lieu of subcontract or prime contract POCs in situations as described above.

The Government will focus its inquiries on the offeror’s (and major subcontractor’s) record of performance as it relates to all solicitation requirements, including cost, schedule, performance and management of subcontractors. A significant achievement, problem, or lack of relevant data in any element of the work can become an important consideration in the evaluation process. Therefore, offerors will be reminded they must at a minimum include the most recent and relevant efforts (performance within the past five years) in their proposal. Absent any recent and relevant past performance history or when the performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

(iii) VOLUME III – Price

Price data shall only be included in the price volume, Volume III, and not within any other proposal volume.

This volume shall consist of all information, required to support proposed prices. Adequate price competition is anticipated therefore Certified Cost and Pricing Data are not currently required in accordance with FAR 15.403-1(b)(1); however, the Government reserves the right to request such data prior to award if none of the exemptions in FAR 15.403-1(b) apply. There is no page limitation for this volume.

Proposed price will not be adjectively rated. A total price will be evaluated for each Offeror. The total evaluated price will be the summation of the Section B CLINs.. Each offeror must propose manpower identical with the levels stated in the LOE_Spreadsheet.xls provided with this solicitation. Offerors must not deviate from the stated LOE hours provided in the LOE_Spreadsheet.xls, or their proposal will not be considered for award.

The LOE_Spreadsheet shall be for evaluation purposes only. This spreadsheet shall be completed and submitted as each offeror’s price proposal, accompanied by a comprehensive narrative and supporting documentation necessary for a complete understanding of the amounts/rates proposed.

Each offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated in accordance with the price criteria in FAR 15.404-1 as determined necessary by the Contracting Officer based on competition and other factors. The objective of price proposal analysis is to ensure that the proposed price is fair and reasonable. Accordingly, the analytical techniques and procedures described in FAR 15.404-1 may be used singly or in combination with others to ensure the costs are fair and reasonable. In accordance with FAR 15.404-1(a)(4), Cost analysis may also be used to evaluate data other than certified cost or pricing data to determine reasonableness when a fair and reasonable price cannot be determined through price analysis alone.

Offeror and subcontractor proposals will be evaluated based on the price reasonableness criteria contained in FAR 15.404-1. The manner and degree of the criteria used will be determined by the contracting officer based on competition and other factors. A proposal is presumed to represent the offeror's best effort to respond to the solicitation. Any significant inconsistency, if unexplained, raises a fundamental issue of the offeror's understanding of the nature and scope of the work required and may be grounds for rejection of the proposal.

Offeror shall provide proposed price as required for all CLINs in Section B.

Each offeror's price proposal shall contain sufficient quantitative and narrative documentation necessary to adequately support and explain the reasonableness of the proposed price proposed in proposal Section B. To help ensure this requirement, a Microsoft Excel workbook titled LOE_Spreadsheet has been provided as an attachment to this solicitation. Instructions for completing LOE_Spreadsheet.xls are contained in that file.

These spreadsheets will help facilitate a more efficient, consistent, and fair evaluation of each offeror's proposal, and aid in post-award contract administration.

Offerors are encouraged to provide whatever supplemental information necessary to help the government understand why the proposed price is reasonable. Supporting narrative shall be submitted in Microsoft Word or Excel (2007 or later) compatible format. Any supporting schedules shall be submitted in a Microsoft Excel (2007 or later) compatible readable format.

Each offeror is to provide two electronic copies of their price proposal. The Excel version of the completed LOE_Spreadsheet.xls shall also be included with the rest of the proposal submission. One shall be locked (read only) and one shall be open. Worksheet formulas shall be readable.

Direct Labor Rates: Each offeror/subcontractor shall address and provide documentation supporting the reasonableness of each proposed direct labor rate. Direct labor rates directly or indirectly based on CBA/DoL Wage Determinations shall be cross referenced to the appropriate wage category in the CBA/DoL Wage Determination in the price proposal.

In accordance with FAR 15.404-3(b)(1) each offeror shall conduct appropriate price analysis to establish the reasonableness of proposed subcontractor prices. Evidence of their review shall be submitted as part of the offeror’s price proposal. Any subcontractor proprietary information can be submitted under separate cover to contracting officer if the subcontractor declines to provide documentation to the offeror.

If any of the offeror or subcontractor labor rates contain "uncompensated overtime" as defined in FAR 52.237-10 the offeror and/or subcontractor shall so indicate the existence of uncompensated overtime and its price impact on the offeror's or subcontractor's proposal to the offeror as part of the offeror's price proposal.

The impact of any Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) and prevailing DoL Wage Determinations shall be considered and incorporated as necessary in proposing direct labor rates for Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) non-exempt personnel/wage categories covered by the Service Contract Act as referenced in FAR Part 22. Since wage increases/adjustments for proposed FLSA/SCA non-exempt labor will be covered by CBA and DoL Wage Determination changes during the life of the contract, offerors are NOT to apply escalation to non-exempt base labor rates covered by CBA/DoL Escalation can be applied to FLSA exempt labor categories (i.e. management, professional, and administrative) as defined by DoL, however cannot be applied to FLSA/SCA non- exempt wage categories for the purposes of this solicitation and resulting contract. CBA and Wage Determination adjustments will be granted on the annual anniversaries from time of award of the initial contract in accordance with FAR 52.222-43 or 52.222-44 as reference in this contract.

(iv) VOLUME IV – SOLICITATIONS, OFFER AND AWARD DOCUMENTS AND

CERTIFICATIONS/REPRESENTATIONS

Certifications and Representations – Each offeror shall complete (fill-in and signatures) the solicitation sections indicated below using the file (without modification to the file) provided with the RFP.
