factors will be considered: 1. The extent an applicant
meets the minimum and desired qualifications based on information obtained
through the application package and interviews. Note that interviews may or may
not be conducted; therefore, the application package should clearly identify
how well the applicant meets the minimum and desired qualifications of this
position. Interviews, if conducted, may be either in-person or via telephone.
2. Information collected from reference checks. References will only be
verified for those applicants determined to have a reasonable chance of being
selected for award. 3. Results of a cost assessment. The cost assessment will
determine the total cost (salary plus benefits and allowances) of the applicant
for the complete term of the contract (base period plus any option years).
Basis for Award In determining best value, paramount consideration shall be
given to technical merit (applicant qualifications and reference checks) rather
than to cost. In cases where applicants are determined to be essentially equal,
then cost may become the determining factor. BENEFIT ELIGIBILITY FOR PSC

Synopsis: Added: Sep 23, 2008 3:33 pm The U. S. Coast Guard Maintenance and
Logistics Command Atlantic (MLCLANT) are procuring hotel services under
Solicitation HSCG84-08-Q-AA8257 which will be available on or about September
24, 2008 in FedBizOps. The service requirements are
for a Continuity of Operations (hereinafter COOP) for emergency operations. The
US Coast Guard requests an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract
(hereinafter IDIQ) that will allow us to have the first right of hotel rooms.
At least 72 hours prior to landfall of a hurricane/severe weather or emergency,
an advance team will be deployed to this location to set up for eventual ICP
(hereinafter ICP) stand up. At 48 hours prior to landfall, a decision will be made
to expand the operation, and more personnel will be arriving. If a storm
similar to that of Hurricane Katrina hits the New Orleans area again, it will require that
USCG SEC New Orleans stay for an undetermined period of time, due to the
inability to return to normal operations in the New Orleans
area. SEC New Orleans will be forced to reconstitute full operations from this
satellite location. Parking will be needed for at least the number of rooms
rented. Approximately 95 hotel rooms will be needed as soon as it is known that
normal operations will be impossible in the New Orleans
area. It is requested the United States Coast
Guard have the first right to 95 rooms. The hotel shall be within 1 (one) mile
of the Natchez Convention Center
for the ICP. This requirement is necessary since US Coast Guard military and
civilian personnel will be working long shifts throughout the day and night. It
is the Coast Guard’s intent to issue an IDIQ to obtain services. This
requirement will be issued using Full and Open Competition procedures. The
NAICS code is 721110. The Size Standard is $6.5 million. The period of
performance is anticipated for five-one year ordering periods commencing
October 6, 2008. Interested vendors should respond to the solicitation by 11
a.m., September 29, 2008. All vendors will be responsible for obtaining the
solicitation and any subsequent amendments from the FedBizOps.
