The proposal must be prepared in three (3) parts: a "Technical Proposal", "Business Proposal.", and "Small Business Participation with Subcontracting Plan Proposal". Each of the parts shall be separate and complete in itself so that evaluation of one may be accomplished independently from evaluation of the other. The technical proposal (Volume 1) must not contain reference to cost; however, resource information (such as data concerning labor hours and categories, materials, subcontracts, etc.) must be contained in the technical proposal so that the contractor's understanding of the performance work statement may be evaluated. The three parts shall be organized as follows: Volume 1: Technical Proposal Section 1. Work Plan Section 2. Management Plan Section 3. Staffing Plan & Key Personnel Section 4. Quality Control Section 5. Small Business Participation Plan (To Be Provided in Volume 3). Section 6. Experience Section 7. Past Performance Volume 1, Sections 1 through 4, is limited to 100 single sided total pages. Double sided pages will count against the 100 page limit as two pages for each double sided page. Resumes of proposed key personnel under section 3 and the experience and past performance information required under sections 6 and 7 will not be counted towards the 100 page limitation. Pages submitted in excess of the limitations specified above will not be evaluated by the Government. Volume 2, Business Proposal, shall include: 1) estimated costs, base fee, and award fee for each performance period as set forth in the CLIN structure under Section B.2, Cost/Price Schedule, 2) the work break down structure (WBS) cost elements identified below, 3) completed B.3, Negotiated Indirect Rates, 4) a copy of the offeror's Representations, Certifications, and Other Statements of Offerors (Section K of the solicitation), 5) DCAA's or other federal audit agency's verification that the offeror's accounting system has been audited and determined to be adequate for determining costs applicable to a cost type contract in accordance with FAR 16.301.3(a)(1), 6) evidence of responsibility, 7) letters of commitment (subcontractors), and 8) information to support consent to subcontractors. Volume 2 has no page limit. All of the above business proposal information must be provided to be considered for contract award. Any offeror that does not have audit verification but is certain that its accounting system was determined to be adequate may provide contact information from its cognizant federal audit office. Proposals will be rejected if the offeror does not provide evidence of an adequate accounting system or if FEMA is not able to obtain audit verification. Volume 3, Small Business Participation with Subcontracting Plan Proposal" shall include: 1) Offeror's response to technical evaluation factor Section 5, Small Business Participation with Subcontracting Plan. There is no page limit for Volume 3. Each volume shall be marked with proposal number, title and Offeror's name. Pages shall be numbered. Bookmarks are encouraged. Front matter (title pages, tables of contents, cross-reference matrices, acronym lists, and glossaries) may be provided solely for the purpose of easing evaluation. The typewritten or printed letters shall be no smaller than Courier 12 point or equivalent as the minimum size standard, with no reduction permitted except organization charts or other graphic illustrations; in those instances where reduction is allowable (no smaller than 10 point recommended). Offerors shall ensure that the print is easily readable. Each page shall have not less than one-inch margins on each side of the page. Header/footer information (which does not include any information to be evaluated) may be included in the 1' margin space. Each 8 and 1/2 by 11 inch "sheet" shall count as one page. Foldouts for complete spreadsheets and/or organization charts are permissible up to 11" by 17" and shall count as two pages. 3. Amendments to Proposal - Any changes to a proposal made by the offeror after its initial submittal (i.e., in the final revised proposal) shall be accomplished by replacement pages.

The offeror shall include the date of the amendment on the lower right corner of the changed pages. 4. The Government will evaluate proposals in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth in Section M of the RFP.

Have the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them (including, as appropriate, such elements as production control procedures, property control systems, quality assurance measures, and safety programs applicable to materials to be produced or services to be performed by the prospective contractor and subcontractors).
