- Description
- RTFP For Draft IFB -15-0288 Draft IFB -15-0288 Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Disposition Services is planning to offer sales contracts for the dismantling and recycling of Navy combatant ships (cruisers, destroyers, frigates, and patrol gunboats) that have been stricken from the Naval Vessel Register. The ships are currently located at U.S. Navy facilities in Washington DC, Panama City, Florida, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and are inoperable, have been extensively stripped of equipment, and their sale is restricted to dismantling in the United States. The U.S. Government will retain ownership of the vessel but the purchaser receives title to the scrap metal produced to offset its costs of towing, hazardous material removal and disposal, vessel dismantling, and metal recycling. The hull must be completely dismantled to scrap metal and any weapons system and electronic equipment destroyed by mutilation to complete demilitarization requirements. Ship Sales will be conducted using a Two-Step process consisting of two distinct steps:(1) Technical Proposal submission, evaluation and determined acceptability; and (2) issuance of an Invitation For Bid (IFB) only to those firms that submitted acceptable technical proposals under Step One. In Step One, DLA Disposition Services will issue a Request for Technical Proposals (RFTP) and evaluate those proposals. Offerers whose Technical Proposals are found technically acceptable in the first step will be Qualified Bidders. Qualified Bidders will be eligible to compete in the second step for sales contracts awarded under this solicitation where the agency sells vessels for remediation and dismantlement. Offerors will not be eligible to bid on recycling contracts until they are notified by the Sales Contracting Officer (SCO) that their technical proposal has been determined to be technically acceptable. All technical proposals must be current at the time of contract award. It is the prospective buyer's responsibility to ensure that their plan is up-to-date and approved. In Step Two, DLA Disposition Services will identify specific vessel(s) for dismantling/recycling and request bids from the Qualified Bidders. The Draft IFB 15-0288 is the second with more anticipated in the future. Accordingly, you are invited to submit a complete technical proposal WITHOUT BID PRICES OR BID DEPOSIT in accordance with the Requirements and Criteria for Technical Proposals contained herein. The RFTP identifies how the technical proposal is to be organized. The technical proposal must include: Business Plan, Operational Plan, Worker Safety and Health Plan, and the Environmental Compliance plan. Firms are advised to submit a complete technical proposal that responds to the requirements of the RFTP. The Government may make a final determination whether a proposal is acceptable or unacceptable based solely on the proposal as submitted. The Government may proceed directly with the second step of this process without requesting or permitting the submission of further clarification/information from any bidder. The RFTP submission does not bind the Government and does not in any way commit the Government to pay for any costs incurred in the preparation and submission of the proposal. The RFTP does not commit the Government to contract for the property described in draft IFB15-0288. Proposed contractual requirements (i.e., terms and conditions) will be contained in the final IFB issued under Step Two. Draft IFB 15-0288 is currently provided for information purposes only. Each firm shall submit one electonic copy or two hard copies of their technical proposal to: DLA Disposition Services Hart-Dole-Inouye Federal Center ATTN: Mr. Ron Williams J-422 (Room 2-4-6) Or email ronald.r.williams @dla.mil 74 Washington Ave. North Battle Creek, MI 49037
