RESPONSE DATE FOR FULL PROPOSAL IS DUE 31 JULY 2006. SECTION 4 ? QUALIFICATIONS. This section should address the following areas. 1. The identification of the proposed principal investigators and other key personnel and a full description of the qualifications, education, and relevant experience of each of these individuals. 2. A discussion of the qualifications of each of the organizations involved in the effort in sufficient detail to demonstrate that the collective experience and expertise is necessary and sufficient to ensure technical objectives are met. 3. A demonstration that the resources available for the proposed activity, including facilities, equipment, and technical support, are necessary and sufficient to accomplish the objectives. Special attention should be paid to describing the necessity of any resources, which are proposed as part of the offeror's cost sharing. 4. A discussion of how intellectual property (especially that proposed as part of the offeror's cost sharing) is to be used as a necessary resource to accomplish the objectives of the project. 3.3 COST/FUNDING PROPOSAL. In light of 1.4.4 above, costs should be broken out by period of performance and year. This proposal shall contain a cost estimate that is sufficiently detailed, by element of cost, for meaningful evaluation. The estimate must include the total cost of the project and the amount and source of project funding (e.g., funds requested from NUWCDIVNPT or funds to be provided by the proposing organization as cost sharing). The offeror's cost share may take the form of academic training (such as Distance Learning and On-Campus Courses), equipment or access to unique facilities, independent research and development (IR&D), cash, foregone intellectual property rights, and other acceptable forms of in-kind contributions. (Note: Work breakdown structures are neither required nor desired. Cost/funding proposals should be organized to include three sections in the following order: total project cost, cost sharing and in-kind contributions, and cost to the Government. Section 1 - Total Project Cost: This section will give a breakdown of costs of the project. Cost should also be broken down on a task-by-task basis for each task appearing in the Statement of Work. This should include all of the proposed cost to the Government and cost sharing by the offeror. The following information should be presented in the proposal for each phase of the effort: total cost of the particular project phase, total offeror cost share; funding requested from the Government; and elements of cost (labor, direct materials, travel, other direct costs, equipment, software, patents, royalties, indirect costs, and cost of money). Sufficient information should be provided in supporting documents to allow the Government to evaluate the reasonableness of these proposed costs, including salaries, overhead, equipment purchases, fair market value of leased items, and the method used for making such evaluations. Profit shall not be included as a cost element. Section 2 - Cost Sharing and In-Kind Contributions: This section will include (1) the specific in-kind contributions proposed, their value in monetary terms, and the methods by which their values were derived (10USC 2371 provides further guidance); (2) the sources of cash and amounts to be used for matching requirements; and (3) evidence of the existence of adequate cash or commitments to provide sufficient cash or in-kind contribution in the future. Affirmative, signed agreements are required from outside sources of cash. Proposals should contain sufficient information regarding the sources of the offeror's cost share so that the Government regarding the availability, timeliness, and control of these resources may make a determination. For example: How will the funds and resources be applied to advance the progress of the proposed effort? What is the role of any proposed in-kind contributions Section 3 - Cost to the Government: This section will specify the total costs proposed to be borne by the Government and any technical or other assistance including equipment, facilities and personnel of Federal laboratories, if any required to support these activities. The cost to the Government should be that portion of the proposed effort that is not covered by cost sharing. The costs incurred and work performed by any DOD or national laboratory "partnering" with the offeror under the proposal shall normally be considered costs of the Government and not costs of the offeror for purposes of the cost-sharing requirement unless the offeror is proposing to pay for those costs. Proposals should contain sufficient information regarding the resources to be provided by the Government so that an evaluation of their availability, timeliness, and control may be made. 3.4 PROPOSAL PAGE FORMATS. All proposals should be printed such that pages are single-sided, with no more than fifty-five (55) lines per page. Use 21.6 x 27.9 cm (8 1/2" x 11") paper or A4 metric paper. Use an easy-to-read font or not more than about 5 characters per cm (fixed pitch font of 12 or fewer characters per inch or proportional font of point size 10 or larger). Smaller type may be used in figures and tables, but must be clearly legible. Margins on all sides (top, bottom, left and right) should be at least 2.5 cm. (1"). 4.0 OTHER REQUIREMENTS. Offerors proposing to conduct classified work in response to this BAA must have or be able to obtain prior to the classified work, all required personnel/facility clearances. Our department no longer issues solicitations or amendments in paper form. Instead, they may be accessed at our web site http://www.npt.nuwc.navy.mil/contract/. We also provide electronic access in our Bid Room. (END PART 2 OF 2)
