FAR 52.209-5 -- CERTIFICATION REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS (OCT 2015) (a)(1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that -- (i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals -- (A) Are [_] are not [_] presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency; (B) Have [_] have not [_], within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property (if offeror checks "have", the offeror shall also see 52.209-7, if included in this solicitation); and (C) Are [_] are not [_] presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision; and (D) Have [_], have not [_], within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,500 for which the liability remains unsatisfied. (1) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply: (i) 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. (ii) 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. (2) Examples. (i) 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. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. - 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. 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. (iii) 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. (iv) 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). (ii) The Offeror has [[_] has not [_], within a three-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency. (2) "Principal," for the purposes of this certification, means an officer; director; owner; partner; or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a division or business segment; and similar positions). This Certification Concerns a Matter Within the Jurisdiction of an Agency of the United States and the Making of a False, Fictitious, or Fraudulent Certification May Render the Maker Subject to Prosecution Under Section 1001, Title 18, United States Code. (b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. (c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Offeror's responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror nonresponsible. (d) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings. (e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for default.

The following factor shall be used to evaluate the offer: Factors: 1. Past Performance 2. Price Past performance is significantly more important that price. Factor 1: Past Performance The past performance evaluation will take into account the guidelines outlined at FAR 15.305(a)(2) Past Performance Evaluation. The Contractor's past performance will be evaluated according to the following: Past Performance Quality Ratings Rating Description Exceptional Performance met contractual requirements and exceeded 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. Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government's benefit. The element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were highly effective. Satisfactory Performance meets contractual requirements. The element being assessed contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The element being assessed contains a serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective. 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. 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. For purposes of this solicitation, "relevant contracts" are defined as contracts performed in the three years preceding the date of this solicitation in which the contractor was the prime contractor performing construction, overhaul, repair and alteration of ships. Past performance ratings for contracts that were completed more than three years before the date of the issuance of this solicitation are not considered relevant and will not be evaluated. General trends in a Contractor's performance will also be considered. Vendors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance, but will be assigned a Neutral rating. Factor 2: Price 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, may be awarded upon completion of open and inspect, or if additional funds become available, of if they are needed. The offer 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. (4) LAY DAYS: A lay day is defined as an additional day on a dry dock or marine railway caused by a Government- issued change. The Contracting Officer will evaluate the daily rate for lay days multiplied by the estimated quantity of lay days as stated in the offeror's Schedule of Services/ Supplies. (5) FORESEABLE COSTS: The Contracting Officer will evaluate certain foreseeable costs that will vary with the location of the commercial shipyard to be used by bidders/offerors under this solicitation. Costs will be calculated based on the bidder's/offeror's shipyard location and these costs will be added, for the purposes of evaluation only, to the bidder's/offeror's overall 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. Price will be determined by adding the value of the estimated quantities for all items in the schedule of prices to include all options. 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. DISTANCE FACTOR ADJUSTMENT In accordance with Coast Guard Acquisition Procedures (CGAP) 3017.9001- Price related factors in the award of vessel repair contracts, foreseeable costs in connection with the differences of shipyard locations in the award of any vessel repair contract conducted away from the vessel's home pier shall be evaluated in all solicitations for contracts exceeding $100,000. LOCATION OF OFFEROR'S COMMERCIAL SHIPYARD In order for the Contracting Officer to evaluate certain foreseeable costs to the Coast Guard that will vary with the location of the commercial shipyard to be used by the offeror, the offeror is required to provide, in the space below, the exact location of the shipyard to be used to perform the services required under this solicitation. The offeror is cautioned that its failure to provide the location of its commercial shipyard in the space provided may result in its quote being declared nonresponsive under the provisions of the terms of this Request for Quote. Name of Shipyard: ____________________________________________________________ FORESEEABLE COST FACTORS PERTAINING TO DIFFERENT SHIPYARD LOCATIONS The Contracting Officer will evaluate certain foreseeable costs to the Coast Guard. Those costs will vary based on the location of the offeror's shipyard and are added to the offeror's overall bid price or price quote for the purposes of evaluation only. These elements of foreseeable costs consist of the following: (1) Transit Cost: (i) Vessel operational cost will be calculated based on one round trip from the vessel's homeport of Baltimore, MD to the contractor's facility. Distance will be based on the NOAA publication, "Distance Between U.S. Ports" or other authority (in order of priority), including Army Corp of Engineers or U.S. Navy transit publications, if the shipyard location is not contained in the NOAA publication. (ii) Transit cost to navigate the vessel between its homeport and the contractor's offered place of performance is 90.57 per nautical mile. The number of nautical miles to transit between the offerors shipyard and the vessel's homeport will be multiplied by the operational cost. (2) Family Separation Allowance & Homeport Travel: Crew members with dependents residing within the area of the homeport are entitled to Family Separation Allowance and Homeport Travel Allowance whenever a vessel is overhauled outside of the area of the homeport. The area of the homeport is defined as the area within 50 road miles of the homeport. If the contractor's facility is outside of a 50-road mile radius of the vessel's homeport- (i) Family Separation Allowance for personnel in accordance with Family Separation Allowance listed under DFAS.mil; Pay & Allowance; Family Separation Allowance for N/A crew members entitled to Family Separation Allowance N/A per day. This entitlement is calculated from the date that the vessel leaves the home port to transit to the offerors shipyard and the planned date of return to home port after completion of repairs or equipment installation. (ii) Homeport Travel. Crew's transportation during overhaul away from home port. As required by 37 USC 406 b and Chapter 7, Part F1 of the Joint Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR), on the thirty-first (31) day of a vessel being away from home port, and every sixty (60) days thereafter, all personnel with dependents residing in the area of the home port will be provided round trip coach type airfare to the vessels home port. There will be one (1) home port visit(s) during the performance of this contract. The vessel has zero (0) crew members eligible for Homeport Travel. Airfares will be based on the GSA City Pairs contracted Government YCA Fare (or successor GSA fare source) in effect at the time of receipt of bids/proposals. If there is no GSA contracted rate between the location of the contractor's shipyard and the homeport the rate will be computed based on commercially available airfares. (3) Travel and Per Diem Costs: If the contractor's facility is outside of a 50-road mile radius of the vessel's homeport- (i) There will be a transportation cost for one (1) Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for zero (0) round trip(s) between the contractor's offered place of performance and the COR's official duty station at the cost of coach-type airfare. (ii) There will be a per diem expense Five (05) calendar days to support one (1) COR while in the city of the place of contract performance, to be determined in accordance with the Joint Federal Travel Regulations (JFTR). The cost of car rental for the estimated performance period will also be included. (iii) There will be a transportation cost for one (1) Contracting Officer for one (1) round trip(s) between the Contracting Officer's official duty station and the contractor's offered place of performance at the cost of coach-type airfare, plus per diem expenses and a rental car.
