The Non-price Quote evaluation factors are listed below:

Factor I - Technical Approach

Sub-Factor I - Key Personnel

The vendor shall provide qualifying documents including a resume for each of the proffered contractor personnel who would be tasked with meeting the requirements in Section 3 of the PWS. Documents shall provide sufficient information to confirm all qualification requirements, and will be included in the overall page count of the quote. A letter of intent shall accompany any resume submitted for an individual who is not currently employed by the prime vendor or an intended subcontractor. Letters of intent will not count against the page total. The minimum required number of credential packages for each key resource is shown below. The individuals filling these positions are considered to be contractor "key personnel."

Contractor Resource Minimum Required Packages Number of Qualification Packages

Safety Instructor (Prime) One (1) Safety Instructor (Alternate) One (1)

Sub-Factor II - Contingency Plan

The vendor shall describe the method planned to replace an instructor in event of an emergency, illness, or death (see PWS Section 8. Since the Government reserves the right to request that an instructor be replaced due to poor performance (see PWS Sections 7 and Section 8), this plan must address the following contingencies:

• How to replace resource personnel due to emergent/unforeseen circumstance without interruption or degradation of performance

• How to replace resource personnel due to poor performance or lack of qualifications without interruption or degradation of performance

Sub-Factor III - Quality Assurance Plan

The vendor shall describe in detail the vendor’s plan to ensure only qualified instructors are deployed to teach the Competent Person Fall Protection (CPFP) course AND to ensure only NAVSAFENVTRACEN-approved information is delivered to students, per section 3 of the PWS.

The sample shall include the following materials for lesson topics Appendix A, along with any additional materials determined pertinent by the course instructor(s), and clearly demonstrate the following requirements:

• Information is accurate and accompanied by effective graphics and samples, presented in a logical order, with designated space for note-taking.

• All materials reflect the most current Navy and OSHA policies and guidelines.

Sub-Factor V - Video Presentation

The vendor shall provide a video of the primary instructor whose resume was submitted in Sub-Factor I, which demonstrates the instructor’s course knowledge, teaching ability and performance delivery. The video shall be approximately 15 minutes in duration. The majority of instruction shall be presented by the identified primary instructor, but the presentation may also include one (1) alternate instructor. The video shall clearly display the instructor(s), both visually and aurally, in the act of presenting course material from Lesson Topic 23.0 Fall Arrest Rescue Plans and Procedures using sub-topics 23.1-23.5 of the course outline. The sample presentation shall be submitted in the electronic format specified in Section I of the Instructions.

Factor II - Past Performance

The vendor shall demonstrate relevant past performance or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant past performance. Relevant past performance is performance under contracts or efforts that are the same as or similar to, the scope and magnitude of the work described by this solicitation.

To demonstrate its past performance, the vendor shall identify up to three (3) of its most relevant contracts or efforts within the past five (5) years from the solicitation closing date. Vendors shall provide a detailed explanation of the relevance, in terms of scope and magnitude of the contracts or efforts, to the requirements of the solicitation, for purposes of the relevancy review.

Subcontractor performance (either the vendor’s own subcontractor experience or proposed subcontractors experience) of major or critical aspects of this requirement will be considered as highly as prime contractor past performance information for the vendor.

If proposed subcontractor past performance is provided as part of the three (3) of its most relevant contracts or efforts, the percentage and type of work to be done by the subcontractor on the solicitation requirement must be stated. The vendor’s submittal shall detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. A Past Performance example which does not detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform will not be evaluated.

If the prime vendor or intended subcontractor/partner submits a past performance example in which it served as a subcontractor, the prime/sub/partner shall detail clearly the work that it performed and the magnitude (dollar value) of that subcontracted work only. A Past Performance example that does not differentiate between the overall contract effort and the subcontractor effort will not be evaluated.

The vendor shall complete a Past Performance Information Form for each reference submitted. The forms will count toward the Factor II page limit described above. For additional information regarding a particular reference beyond that which will fit on the form, the vendor may continue onto another sheet of paper. Such continuation sheet(s) for submitted references will count toward the Factor II page limit.

In addition to the information requested above, vendors shall contact their past performance references and request that each reference complete a Past Performance Report Form and e-mail the completed survey form directly to William Powell, at william.s.powell@navy.mil by the DUE DATE OF THIS SOLICITATION SHOWN IN BLOCK 8 OF THE RFQ. The Government reserves the right to consider past performance report forms received after the due date of the solicitation and to contact references for verification or additional information.
