- 30 August 2007 - This is an Amendment to combined synopsis/solicitation number N68335-07-T-0089. The purpose of this Amendment is to: 1. Extend the proposal due date to 2:00 PM EST, Wednesday 12 September 2007. 2. Revise the description from "Powder Coating Spray Booth" to "Paint Spray Booth." 3. Provide the revised Specification to reflect the description change. 4. Provide the revised Statement of Work to reflect the description change. The SOW can be found on the NAVAIR homepage located at http://www.navair.navy.mil. Select "Business", then "Doing Business With Us" and "Open Solicitations". 5. Include the following Questions and Answers regarding this combined synopsis/solicitation: The following questions are based on the following excerpt from the specifications. Specification: Filtration: Filters shall have minimum 99.84% filtration efficiency; filters shall be cleanable via automatic pulsing using compressed air; filters shall contain no outer liner. 1. Please indicate the particle size the efficiency is based upon. 2.5 to 10 micron. 2. Pulse cleaning of filters is utilized in cartridge type filtration which is conflicting with the filtration specified. Please clarify or correct. Disregard pulse cleaning. The Specification has been revised to reflect this. The following questions are based on the following excerpt from the specifications. Specification: Minimum eighty (80) lineal feet of safety railing on booth ceiling. Railing shall be OSHA approved. Three (3) catwalks of 3' w x 15' long installed on booth ceiling in order to assist with operator servicing of light fixtures and exhaust fan system. OSHA-approved ladder for ceiling access, to be mounted to the booth. 1. If code approved inside access lights are used and extended lube lines for the fan is it still required to provide costly ladder, catwalks and handrails? Yes, that is a requirement. Additional Question 1. If the booth is returning the air back to the building after the 3 stage and HEPA filter, will you need Carbon Filtration for VOC's or will you exhaust to atmosphere? If it is to atmosphere you could eliminate the HEPA and Carbon. Is this your desire? We have obtained permit approval to exhaust from the building. The coatings utilized will not contain significant VOCs to require carbon filtration. HEPA filtration is a requirement that we expect to see in the design. Offers are due not later than 2:00 PM EST, Wednesday 12 September 2007, to the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Contracts Dept, Code 25212GG, Highway 547, Lakehurst NJ 08733-5082.

If a proposal is considered complete, it will be considered for evaluation under Phase 2. The government will then evaluate Best Value based upon the following factors; Technical, Past Performance, Past Experience, Price. PROPOSAL COMPLETENESS (Phase 1) The government will determine whether each Offeror's proposal is complete or incomplete. The government may consider the offer to be incomplete, and the Offeror will not be further evaluated or selected for contract award if: (a) The Offeror omits significant information required by Section L of this RFQ that is considered by the government to be necessary in order to understand the basic aspects of the item(s) proposed. Minor omissions and clarifications may be required of the offeror to still be considered to have submitted a complete proposal. BEST VALUE EVALUATION FACTORS (Phase 2) The following requirements/information will be requested from all firms submitting proposals and offers will be evaluated under FAR 13.106-2 1. Technical description, including overall dimensions, power requirements, major component identification, performance qualities, terms and conditions of warranty, features of the equipment and logistics requirements. 2. Past Performance 3. Experience 4. Price The above factors are equal in weight. The following criteria will be used to identify the response providing the best value to Government: TECHNICAL: Under the factor (1), "Technical Description", the following enhancing characteristics will be considered: a) Simplicity of Operation, b) Safety to Operating Personnel, c) Durability, d) Low Energy Usage, and e) Low Maintenance. Regarding warranty terms, firms will be asked to address the following: a.) Length of warranty period, and what components are covered. b.) Standard terms and procedures concerning repair and replacement. c.) Whether an extended warranty period can be offered. Proposals will be evaluated for vendor understanding of the logistics requirement and the submitted plan for supplying the data and the unique manual with the content required by the Navy. PAST PERFORMANCE: The government will conduct a performance risk evaluation based upon the past performance of the offeror as it relates to the probability of successfully performing the solicitation requirements. Offerors with no past performance will be rated neutrally (offeror receives no merit or demerit for the past performance factor). Past performance of limited relevance will be given less weight during evaluation.
