(i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply: (A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted. (B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded. (ii) Examples. (A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability.

In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment. (D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy Code). (i) Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed End Products (Executive Order 13126).

The goal of the NMSA is to set aside and manage areas for resource protection, research, enhanced public education, and compatible public and private uses. Within ONMS, the Maritime Heritage Program (MHP) focuses on maritime heritage within designated national marine sanctuaries, assists states and partner agencies in heritage resource management issues, and also promotes maritime heritage education and appreciation throughout the entire nation. The ONMS collaborates with indigenous cultures nationwide to enhance awareness of our Nation's marine resources and maritime heritage. Understanding the types and locations of significant archaeological and cultural resources is essential to their preservation and consideration during planning for offshore renewable energy development. This includes, among others, resources and areas important to the cultural history of the Hawaiian Islands, as well as resources and areas important to contemporary Native Hawaiian communities. As planning and development for offshore renewable energy projects increases, the potential for impacts to marine and terrestrial archaeological, cultural, and historical resources, will increase as well. These impacts can include physical disturbances to archaeological sites, burial grounds, and historic and traditional cultural properties. Certain cultural and archaeological properties on shore are significant in part for their view shed of the ocean, and these view sheds can be impacted by the offshore siting of renewable energy development. ONMS requires a contractor to complete an inventory of selected terrestrial archaeological properties on the eight main Hawaiian Islands that could be affected visually by offshore renewable energy siting. This information is necessary under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, which requires federal agencies to consider mitigation of impacts to specific properties that may be affected by a federal undertaking. The information will also be used to support reviews under NEPA and other federal laws. II.OBJECTIVES Conduct a document-based inventory of selected land-based historic and archaeological properties in the main eight Hawaiian Islands that could be adversely impacted by the alteration of the view of the ocean. Selected properties are defined by criteria from the National Register of Historic Places. Properties must be eligible for or listed on the Register, gaining significance in part from their view shed of the ocean. Work will include: •Identify the NRHP listed and eligible historic and archaeological properties - these would be limited to those properties that have a reasonable view of the ocean from normal areas of access. A reasonable view of the ocean means that no special effort must be made to see the ocean (e.g., removal of trees or buildings); normal area of access means that no special effort is required to access the offshore view shed (e.g., standing on the roof of a structure, climbing nearby trees; etc.). •Identify those properties where the view or view shed is a justification for the listing, i.e. those properties that would be impacted by an offshore facility within the view shed. •Create a standardized profile for each location incorporating the relative information that could be accessed through a GIS interface provided on government equipment. These data must include, but are not limited to: site trinomial, locational coordinates (include the coordinate system used to record the site and converted geographic NAD 83 coordinates in decimal degrees to at least six decimal places), site size, basic description, date range, cultural affiliation, National Register status (either nominated, eligible, contributing, district, etc.). •Submit status reports to ONMS at the end of each calendar month and include a brief discussion of completed tasks, sample draft products where relevant, status of product development and upcoming events. This report will discuss any problems or set-backs, as well as potential solutions. •Compile inventory data in standardized format, including any existing photos of the locations that may be publicly available, so that it may easily be loaded by the Government later into a GIS project that allows for information about each site to be accessed. •Summarize all data collected during the course of the project and produce a narrative report that documents the efforts made. This report will be made available to the public and will contain only non-sensitive information. The report will include a discussion of the repositories examined, methodology used during the investigation, and discussion of the selected properties within the project area. III. DELIVERABLES The contractor will conduct independent research at the Hawaii State Historic Preservation Division and related collections to develop a report and digital file of terrestrial properties that could be visually affected from offshore renewable energy siting. The data to be collected will include historic and archaeological information related to all properties, including those properties nominated to or eligible for listing, on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The following information, as well as any other pertinent information to meet the objectives of the study, shall be included: •Interim progress and final reports that include, among other things, description of all archival research efforts, methodologies, analysis, translations and transcriptions from Hawaiian language sources; •Digital copies of all archival raw data and notes; •Digital tabular report of findings. IV. TIMELINE AND INVOICE SCHEDULE •Monthly reports due with invoices; •Interim report due 6 months after award date; •Final report due 12 months after award date Invoices must be submitted monthly. V.IT SECURITY The Certification and Accreditation (C&A) requirements of 48 CFR 1352.239-73, Security Requirements for Information Technology Resources apply, and a Security Accreditation Package is not required. The contractor will work offsite with government furnished equipment. All government furnished equipment will be returned to ONMS at the completion of the project. VI. COR AND INVOICE ADDRESS Nancy Daschbach Office of National Marine Sanctuaries 726 South Kihei Road Kihei, Hawaii 96753 1-800-831-4888 808-874-3815(F) VII.MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS The contractor must demonstrate at least 5 years in past performance accomplishing similar tasks as outline in objectives and deliverables.

PROPOSAL EVALUATION AND AWARD BASIS A.Evaluation Criteria The following factors will be used to evaluate the technical quotations for determining which offers are technically acceptable. 1.Five+ years demonstrated experience and expertise in preparing a comprehensive cultural resource inventory study and analysis, particularly as it may pertain to the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) review process and cultural resource assessment of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), including specific experience and ability to: a.Gather and analyze data required to perform an archaeological and historic properties resource inventory associated with near shore and coastline archaeological resources; b.Gather and analyze data required to assess the cultural, historic, religious, and social aspects of selected properties and apply NHPA criteria to their evaluation; c.Gather and analyze Hawaiian language data and associated data from a variety of sources; d.Communicate effectively with federal agencies and Native Hawaiian communities in the field of cultural resources and cultural resources management. 2.Past performance: record of past performance with the same or similar efforts based on examples of previous experience and demonstrated abilities. a.Technical performance: this includes performance in providing high quality data to the Government, services to industry and the public sector; b.Cost and schedule management: this includes timelines of performance and effective cost control; c.Customer Satisfaction: this includes responsiveness, cooperation and flexibility concerning customer's interests. Offerors will provide a list of three or more references of where similar work is currently performed or recently completed, telephone numbers, contact names, description of contract work, contract value, size and scope of project and duration of work. Additionally, offerors will provide information on problems encountered during the contract and the corrective action taken. A representative survey of customer satisfaction may be performed. The Offeror will submit its past performance record. The offeror's past performance will be evaluated based upon the Offeror's demonstrated past performance related to projects that are similar to the proposed statement of work. All relevant past performance will be evaluated. More relevant and more recent past performance (5 years or less) will be evaluated more favorably than less recent or less relevant past performance. Information should be limited to relevant contracts/projects of similar nature, scope, and complexity, as described in Sections II and III, Objectives, and Deliverables. NOAA may consider past performance reference information from sources beyond what the Offeror submits. The Government reserves the right to assess the past performance of proposed subcontractors. Information utilized will be obtained from the references listed in the proposal, other customers known to the Government, and others who may have useful and relevant information. Information will also be considered regarding any significant subcontractors and key personnel. Award may be made from the initial offers without discussions. However, if the Government receives negative past performance information and the Offeror has not had a previous opportunity to review the rating, the Offeror will be given an opportunity to address such unfavorable reports of past performance. Organizations with a strong history or exceptional performance will receive a high or positive rating. Organizations with a mixed performance history, or no substantial performance will receive a low or negative rating. 3.Demonstrated understanding of the project concept and schedule. 4.Demonstrated specific knowledge of NEPA, the NHPA, and related protected areas cultural resource legislation. Work in Hawaii or other Pacific Island Territories. 5.Demonstrated ability to effectively summarize, respond to and incorporate project manager and public agency comments on working drafts and other products. 6.Demonstrated ability to provide accurate English translations from Hawaiian language documents.

All technically acceptable proposals will have the cost evaluated as A) Total cost proposed, B) Cost realism, and C) Reasonableness. C.Award Basis Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government, cost and other evaluation factors considered. The Government reserves the right to award a contract on the basis of the initial proposals without any negotiations or call for final revisions (Best and Final offer). Offerors are urged to submit their best offer with the initial submittal.
