- This Request for Information (RFI) is for information and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Minerals Management Service (MMS), U. S. Department of the Interior. The purpose of this RFI is to identify potential small business sources that are interested in and capable of performing the work described below. All interested parties must be able to qualify under the North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 541620, Environmental Consulting Services. The Small Business Administration's size standard for this NAICS Code is the Not to Exceed amount of $6.5 million in average annual receipts. The MMS does not intend to award a contract on the basis of responses nor otherwise pay for the preparation of any information submitted in response to this RFI. Acknowledgement of receipt of responses will not be made, nor will respondents be notified of the evaluation of the information received. Based on the review of the responses to this Request for Information, the MMS reserves the right to issue a small business set aside or full and open competitive requirement and subsequently a Request for Proposal (RFP) in accordance with FAR 15.202. However, please be advised that this announcement may constitute the only notice for this acquisition based on the review of the responses to this RFI. The MMS will not accept unsolicited proposals related to the subject of this RFI. Pursuant to FAR 52.219-14, at least 50% of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of the small business concern. In order to compete under this acquisition, interested parties must demonstrate that they are qualified to perform the work by providing a Capabilities Statement as specified herein. Furthermore, the Capabilities Statement must certify qualification under the NAICS code 541620, as specified herein. Those who do not qualify as a small business shall not be considered and will be rejected. Further instructions regarding submission of Capabilities Statements are contained herein. Following a review and evaluation of all Capabilities Statements received from this announcement, a list of those deemed best qualified to perform the work and which qualify under the NAICS Code 541620 (verified via the CCR and ORCA), will be established and will be notified regarding release of information on submission of a proposal. The Government anticipates time and materials task orders issued against an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract for this effort. PURPOSE OF PROPOSED STUDY: The purpose of the proposed study is designed to evaluate environmental mitigation effectiveness of measures and project conditions required of post-lease Pacific Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and gas operations. The evaluation will consist of field monitoring and observations of Pacific OCS Region oil & gas operations to determine environmental mitigation compliance and effectiveness of the measures. The overall objectives are to observe, sample, and/or monitor post-lease OCS oil and gas operations in the Pacific OCS Region to determine environmental compliance (MMS regulations, Lease Sale Stipulations, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements, and non-MMS agency requirements, etc.) with mitigation measures or project conditions and their effectiveness. SOURCES SOUGHT: Interested organizations must submit a Capability Statement of no more than 20 pages that details the ability to perform the effort described above. Emphasis should be placed on the organization's familiarity and understanding of the Santa Barbara Channel and the Santa Maria Basin in OCS waters off Southern and Central California with a secondary focus on the San Pedro Basin. Experience in the type of work proposed, demonstrated ability to do the work, and an understanding of the directed missions of the MMS, as well as the company's prior experience in work of similar scope to this project and complexity, qualifications of the organization's key personnel (those who would have primary responsibility for performing and/or managing the tasks), and timely delivery of final products. All proprietary information should be marked as such. Provide three references of similar contracts performed by either your proposed key personnel and/or your organization during the last three years. Include a description of the project, project title, contract number, period of performance, contract amount, client identification which includes agency or company name, contracting and technical reviewing official, address, and telephone number. If you believe the Government will find derogatory information as a result of checking your past performance record, please provide an explanation and any remedial action taken by your company to address the problem. Responses will be reviewed by MMS personnel and will be held in a confidential manner. EVALUTION OF CAPABILITY STATEMENTS: Your capability statement will be evaluated based on the following factors, which are of equal importance: (1) the understanding of effort and objectives, (2) demonstrated experience and expertise of key technical personnel, (3) degree of past projects to the current project. Responses are due no later than 12:00 Noon, E.T., on Thurssday, November 8, 2007.
