NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS United States Coast Guard Ombudsman Program It is the policy of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) 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 Government Accountability Office (GAO). Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the USCG as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum rather than 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 a specific USCG procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicable Contracting Officer. If the Contracting Officer is unable to satisfy their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the U.S. 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 office, 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 in FAR 33.103. If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. 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 submitted to: COMMANDANT (CG-9131) U S COAST GUARD OMBUDSMAN PROGRAM FOR AGENCY PROTESTS EMAIL: OPAP@uscg.mil Fax: 202-372-8447 Phone: 202-475-5786 More information about the Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) can be found at http://www.uscg.mil/acquisition/business/ombudsman.asp Alternative Point of Contact: United States Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center Attn: Michael D, Baltzgar 300 East Main Street, Suite 600 Norfolk, VA 23510-9112 Email: Michael.d.baltzgar@uscg.mil Continuation of SF 1449 – BLOCKS 15 - 26 (1) Block 15: Deliver To Place of Performance: Vessels homeport – Portsmouth, Virginia Place of Acceptance on behalf of the Government: U.S. Coast Guard Cutter FRANK DREW (WLM 557), 4000 Coast Guard Blvd, Portsmouth, VA 23703-2199 (2) Block 16: Administered By (Contract Management) Notwithstanding the Contractor’s responsibility for total management during the performance of the contract, the administration of the contract will require maximum coordination between the Government and the Contractor.

The option quantities shown in the Schedule are estimates only. The Government has the right to require performance of these items at the quantities deemed necessary. Therefore, the Government may exercise an option item on more than one occasion during the contract performance period. The Contracting Officer will provide initial notification of the exercise of an option either verbally, by facsimile, or both. When time is of essence initial notification will be provided verbally followed within 24 hours by a facsimile of confirmation. A contract modification will be executed shortly thereafter to include those options wherein exercise notification was provided. Such options may be exercised at any phase during the contract performance period as stated herein, or any extension of the performance period. To maintain the contract performance period the Contractor shall commence performance of an option item immediately upon receiving initial notification; but, not later than 24 hours thereafter, unless proper sequencing of the work requires a delay in beginning performance of the option. In that case, the option item shall be commenced as soon as proper sequencing permits. The exercise of any option item listed in the Schedule will not normally extend the contract performance period. However, the Contracting Officer may consider a request by the Contractor for contract extension if an option is exercised after 50% of the contract performance period has expired.

The 2 following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: QUOTES SHALL BE EVALUATED USING THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA: The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The (2) following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: FACTOR 1-PAST PERFORMANCE: The offeror shall identify at least 3 relevant (construction, overhaul, repair and alteration of ships) and current federal, state or local government or private contracts performed during the last three (3) years. For each contract, list: a. Contract number and customer point of contact (including two (2) points of contact With telephone numbers) b. Dollar value of the contract (Original and Final) c. Type of service performed and whether Prime or subContractor d. Required completion date for the contract e. Date the services were actually completed f. Ship Name, Hull Number g. Contract type (FFP, IDIQ, Requirement, Cost Type) h. Percentage of growth in contract price (Additional work divided by award price) If subcontracting arrangement is proposed, the above data must also be provided for each first tier subcontractor. If a joint effort or teaming arrangement is proposed, highlight previous experience with the proposed team or subcontractor. The past performance evaluation will take into account the guidelines outlined at FAR 15.305(a)(2) Below is the Past Performance matrix used to evaluate contractor performance: Past Performance Quality Ratings Rating Description Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective. Good Superior accomplishment of contract requirements and very high customer satisfaction. Acceptable Fully compliant accomplishment of contract requirements and positive customer satisfaction. Marginal Accomplishes most, but not all, of the desired contract requirements and customer is marginally satisfied. Unacceptable Failure to properly accomplish contract requirements and failure to satisfy customer. Neutral The offeror has no past performance history OR the Contracting Officer has determined that the past performance information provided is not directly related or similar to the requirements in the RFP. The quality of past performance and relevance of experience to the Coast Guard will be evaluated. The ability to manage and maintain a qualified workforce will be considered. Customer satisfaction will be an integral consideration. In evaluating past performance the Government will consider contracts performed during the last 3 years. Emphasis will be placed upon the contractor’s administration of the contractual responsibilities. For example: (1) Adequacy of contract start up. (2) Performance in accordance with proposed method of performance. (3) Sufficiency of proposed personnel to perform contract. (4) Filling of key positions with qualified individuals. (5) Quality performance of work. (6) Response to emergency situations. (7) Schedule adherence (including administrative aspects of performance.) (8) Responsiveness to Government requirements. (9) Performance in accordance with contract requirements. (10 Customer satisfaction. (11) Complete submittals. (12) Timely delivery of paperwork. (13) Timely and accurate invoice submittals (14) Quality of drawings. (15) Knowledge of Customer Requirements and Expectations. (16) Management and cost control of subcontracts In evaluating Contractors past performance, the government intends to also review U.S. Coast Guard Contractor Performance Assessment Reports and other existing past performance ratings on relevant contracts. General trends in a Contractor’s performance will also be considered. Additionally, unofficial past performance information (PPI) may be submitted via customer questionnaires, see Attachment 4. The Contracting Officer will not interpret or otherwise construe the final customer ratings – they will be taken at face value. However, greater legitimacy will be conferred on relevant, well-documented official federal reports since such reports will demonstrate that the assessor has justified his/her ratings. Consistent with FAR 15.306(a) & (b), offerors may provide information on adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to comment. FACTOR 2-PRICE: Offeror’s price shall represent the best price in response to the request for quotes. The price shall be evaluated to determine fairness and reasonableness. The contracting officer will also calculate the foreseeable cost of transporting the USCGC FRANK DREW (WLR 557) to offeror’s commercial shipyard. Foreseeable costs will be calculated for the purpose of price evaluation only. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) 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. The total evaluated price of the offeror will be determined by totaling the proposed prices of all the Definite Items, plus the composite labor hour extended total, plus lay days, and foreseeable costs. (1) DEFINITE ITEMS: These are the items, which, if there is an award at all, will be awarded. The bid shall be evaluated to include the price for each definite item. (2) OPTION ITEMS: These are the items, which, if there is an award at all, will be awarded upon completion of open and inspect. The proposal shall be evaluated to include the price for each option item. (3) COMPOSITE LABOR HOUR RATE: The offer shall be evaluated to include the offer price for the Composite Labor Hour Rate multiplied by the estimated quantity of hours. ****Past Performance is more important than Price**** Award may be made without any type of discussions or negotiations. This is based on the Contracting Officer’s determination after an evaluation has been completed on all offers. Prior to a contract being awarded a Pre-Award Survey may be conducted by the US Coast Guard Quality Assurance Team. The survey is used as a indication if a contractor has the qualifications to do the work and that the contractor’s facilities are certified under US Coast Guard specifications. (29) Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Items (Nov 2014) The Offeror shall complete only paragraph (b) of this provision if the Offeror has completed the annual representations and certification electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM) website accessed through http://www.acquisition.gov.

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.

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.
