The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. Past Performance: In accordance with FAR 52.212-1(b)(10) and the following, the offeror is required to identify past or current contracts for efforts similar to this requirement. Offerors shall provide the information shown below for at least three (3) and no more than five (5) contracts for the same or similar items. Provide as a minimum the following applicable information for each contract: a. Contract number, Names of contracting parties or agency, point of contact, specifically the Contracting Officer and the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR), including email address and telephone number of these identified individuals. b. Ship name, hull type, length, and displacement. c. Type of availability (dry dock, dockside, etc.) and where performed; d. Original contract commencement and completion dates, actual commencement and completion dates, and explanation of (i.e. reasons for) schedule slippage/extensions, if any; e. Award price and final contract price (award plus growth), including the total number of growth work changes and scope of these changes. Past Performance will look at relevant experience, responsiveness, resources, quality and consistency of services, customer satisfaction, and management. 2. Required Delivery Date 3. Price: The total price will be the evaluated price. Required delivery date is significantly more important than past performance and price. (a) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. EVALUATION APPROACH 1. An evaluation plan has been established to evaluate the factors set forth below and all Quotations shall be subject to evaluation by a team of Government personnel in accordance with the plan. 2. The Government will evaluate each Quotation strictly in accordance with its content and will not assume that performance will include areas not specified in the offeror's written Quotation. The Government reserves the right to contact other government and commercial sources to validate information submitted in a Quotation and to assess capability, past performance and responsibility. 3. Quotations, which are unrealistic in terms of price, will be deemed reflective of an inherent lack of technical competence or indicative of a failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the proposed contract. Such Quotations may be rejected as unacceptable without further discussions. In addition, the Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration those Quotations so deficient in information as to require a major re-write or revision in order to become acceptable. 4. The technical evaluation factors and other factors other than price, when combined, are approximately equal to price. Price will not be a numerically weighted factor in the evaluation of Quotations. If the two or more highest rated technical Quotations are considered to be essentially equal in terms of technical competence, price may become the determinative factor in making an award. 5. The Government reserves the right to award a contract on the basis of evaluation of the original submission without discussions or call for Final Quotation Revisions. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed price contract using simplified acquisition procedures. The Government will award a contract resulting from this synopsis/solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be more advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. For the purpose of this solicitation technical capability and past performance are approximately equal to price. Potential sources having the expertise and required capabilities are invited to submit Quotations that will be considered by the agency. Quotations must fully address all Technical Capabilities Factors and Past Performance. No reference to Price shall be included in the Quotation. Quotations must contain the contractor's Tax Information Number, and DUNS Number. Quotations must be received no later than March 7, 2011 by 12:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. Quotations received after the date and time specified will not be considered. Quotations may be submitted as an attachment to an e-mail addressed to: tara.m.holloway@uscg.mil.

OMBUDSMAN NOTICE NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS It is the policy of the Coast Guard to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time-consuming litigation. OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the General Accounting Office (GAO). Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the Coast Guard as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum, rather filing a protest with the GAO or some external forum. Interested Parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the contracting officer or Ombudsman. INFORMAL FORUM WITH THE OMBUDSMAN. Interested parties who believe that a Coast Guard procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the cognizant contracting officer. If the contracting officer is unable to satisfy the concerns, the interested party is encouraged to contact the coast Guard Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process, the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable). FORMAL AGENCY PROTEST WITH THE OMBUDSMAN: Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the contracting officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester's concerns are unresolved, an independent review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the contracting officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program. Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government. The agency's goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth at FAR 33.103(d)(2). If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. This will not preclude re-filing of the protests to meet the requirement. To be timely, protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program should be forwarded to the address below: Commandant (GG-913) Acquisition Planning and Performance Measurement 1900 Half St. SW, Room 11-0402 Washington, DC 20593 Telephone: (202) 372-3692 Fax: (202) 475-3904
