The vessel shall be built and classed with ABS Maltese Cross A-1 Towing Vessel, River Service with Maltese Cross AMS.

Proposals will be reviewed for completeness in satisfying the requirements of the RFP. Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal offers the best value to the Government in terms of the factors as stated. Award of a contract will not be based solely on a lowest price basis. Offerors shall submit their proposals in two separate parts; a price proposal and a technical proposal. Each technical proposal shall be evaluated on the basis of the basis of the following factors of past performance and experience, management, and product. Price factors for evaluation are price reasonableness. The technical factors (arranged in descending order of importance) as a whole are more important than price. However, price remains a significant factor in determining the best value and become more significant for proposals that exceed the published budgetary prices. Initial cost proposals must be submitted along with initial technical proposal to the Contracting Officer in accordance with the requirements of Section L Proposal Requirements and Evaluation Criteria of the RFP. The government may award a contract on the basis of initial proposals received without discussions; therefore, each proposal should contain the offerors best terms. All work shall be in accordance with the specifications and drawings included in the Request for Proposal (RFP). The total performance period for this procurement will be approximately five hundred forty-five (545) calendar days from receipt of order. Liquidated damages are included in this contract.
