ORAL PRESENTATIONS -- BASE OPERATING SUPPORT, GUAM The U.S. Navy seeks interested parties for Oral Presentations relevant to the potential award of a major Base Operating Support (BOS) contract to support Naval Facilities on Guam. (This will be an integrated procurement for all of the services discussed at the Guam industry forum held 8-9 August 1997, which are to be competed under a single OMB circular A-76 study.) Oral Presentations, leading to an "Advisory downselect" are to be scheduled for the week of 3-7 November 1997 at the Pacific Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Headquarters, in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. A maximum of four hours will be allotted for each firm or joint venture partnership that desires to participate. Each session will consist of the following three segments. 1. PRESENTATION BY PRINCIPALS OF THE FIRM: Up to two hours (uninterrupted) opportunity for presentation of relevant information as described below. Each firm or joint venture will be limited to no more than 6 attendees using no professional (hired consultant) presenters. Of the two hour presentation, up to 30 minutes may be in a videotape format, if desired. 2. GOVERNMENT DELIVERATIONS: Following the direct presentation, the Government panel will convene separately to discuss and formulate relevant questions for up to one hour. 3. DISCUSSIONS: Finally, up to one hour of question and answer dialogue between the firm or Joint venture and the Government panel will take place. Presentations may be videotaped by the Government for review/deliberation prior to the issuance of an advisory downselect. Review will be limited to panel members only, and these videotapes will be destroyed upon issuance of the advisory downselect. Based on the results of these presentations, an advisory downselect will be issued within 15 days of the final presentation. The firms or joint ventures considered most capable of meeting the Navy's need will be encouraged to respond to an RFP to be issued in the FEB 98 timeframe. Those firms or joint ventures not considered to be amongst the most competitive based on Oral Presentations will be so advised, with recommendations that they seek opportunities as subcontractors, or other teaming relationships. The advisory downselect action will be based on the following considerations, in descending order of importance. Each firm, whether standing alone, or as part of a Joint venture team, will be expected to submit the following information: a) THE RELEVANT PAST PERFORMANCE OF THE FIRM: This should particularly include all experience as a prime or managing partner on high value, multi-functional BOS contracts within the past five years. The firm's experience in remote locations, its overall tenure in the BOS arena, and its history of repeat business on resolicitation cycles in the private or government sector are all considered relevant. Demonstrated experience with award fee type contracts and history of award fee ratings earned is also important. Due to the complexities associated with evaluating newly formed joint venture partnerships based on Past Performance, some additional information will be expected from any such prospective proposal teams. This would include demonstration of previous successful joint venture relationships with: (a) the proposed team for the instant requirement, or (b) joint ventures of comparable structure with similar firms. b) CURRENT ISO 9000 (SERIES) CERTIFICATION STATUS: This information should include all sites currently certified, duration of the certifications, and disclosure regarding any instances of loss of ISO certification. Information regarding the expected transferabilty of current systems to Guam and time required to certify a Guam based site is also requested. For newly formed joint ventures, any experience regarding successful ISO certification of previous joint venture stand ups will be appreciated. For firms never having held ISO certification, indications of other confirmation of quality processes or results, such as Malcom Baldridge awards, etc, will be appreciated. c) DEMONSTRATION OF FINANCIAL CAPACITY: Firms or teams should indicate their financial capacity to undertake an operation in the $100-200 Million per year range. Letters of credit or intent from financial institutions, current operations of this magnitude, and or Dunn and Bradstreet information will be reviewed to establish credible expectations regarding financial capacity. Firms or teams should indicate their method for estimating the financial capacity required. d) OTHER RELEVANT FACTORS: Knowledge of Guam and the A-76 process is also considered important. Indications of the firm's (or team's) experience with the A-76 process and how to minimize or mitigate the inherent difficulties in the process is required. Secondly, the firm's demonstrated history with respect to community relations, local investment, and economic impact are solicited. Finally, information regarding understanding of the Guam labor and economic climate is also desired. Documentary evidence, limited to 20 (one sided) pages, (no smaller than 12 font single space) will be accepted. This information should include references for relevant Past Performance and any documentary evidence of financial capacity deemed useful. The Contracting Officer will provide a courtesy debriefing for any "downselected" firm upon request. This debriefing will include general information regarding the basis of the advisory downselect action, but will not provide any information regarding the particulars of any other firm or team presentation. Interested parties should contact CDR J.P. Gerner or Ms. Sharon Goto/Mr. David Hamada, (808) 471-8327 to schedule presentations, not later than 10 October 1997. CDR Gerner can also be reached via e-mail at [jpgerner@efdpac.navfac.navy.mil]. Two presentations will be scheduled per day from 3 through 7 November 1997. Should more presentation slots be necessary, they will be scheduled during the following week, but only after all 10 available slots are filled.
