The proposal shall also describe specific roles of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies in terms of the work it will either self-perform or manage on behalf of the offeror in performance of the contract.

The Government will review a maximum of two

(2) projects. An offeror will be rated UNACCEPTABLE if the offeror does not submit the minimum number of relevant projects (one (1)). Any projects submitted in excess of the two (2) for Corporate Experience will not be considered.

(2) Factor 2, Safety:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The offeror MUST submit:

1. The company’s Safety Narrative; and

2. The company’s SIGNED copy of the provided Safety Checklist Form, which is provided as

Attachment 6 to this solicitation.

The offeror shall respond to the Safety Approach Narrative AND provide the signed Safety Checklist Form (Attachment 3). The offeror’s response to the Safety Approach Narrative shall describe the offeror’s approach for safety for its employees as well as the strategy the offeror will implement to evaluate and measure safety performance of potential subcontractors, as a part of the selection process for all levels of subcontractors. The Safety Approach Narrative response is not intended to be a full Safety Plan. The minimum requirements of the Safety Approach Narrative response shall include the following:

• A brief description of the safety organization to include the safety personnel and their roles/responsibilities.

• A brief description of the safety monitoring process to include the general procedures for identifying construction hazards and mitigating them.

The narrative may also describe any innovative methods that the offeror will employ to ensure and monitor safe work practices at all performance levels. The Safety Approach Narrative shall be limited to two (2) pages. Any pages submitted in excess of two (2) pages will not be considered and, only the first two pages will be evaluated.

For a partnership or joint venture, the narrative shall address each contractor who is part of the partnership or joint venture; only one safety narrative is required.

ALSO, the offeror MUST also provide a signed copy of the Safety Checklist Form provided as Attachment (3) to the RFP. By signing this form the contractor is verifying that if awarded the contract, they will comply with the safety regulations, provide a safety plan, provide a competent employee in accordance with EM 385-1- 1, and provide all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to their employees.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation: The Government is seeking to determine that the offeror has a commitment to safety and that the offeror plans to properly manage and implement safety procedures for itself and its subcontractors. To receive an acceptable rating for this factor the offeror MUST provide:

1. The Company’s Safety Narrative; and

2. The company’s SIGNED copy of the provided Safety Checklist Form.

The Safety Checklist Form is provided as an Attachment to this RFP. Failure to submit a Safety Narrative and a completed Safety Checklist with the proposal will result in a rating of Unacceptable and you will not be eligible to be awarded the contract without discussions.

(3) Factor 3, Past Performance:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The offeror shall provide a past performance evaluation for each project submitted under Factor 1 – Corporate Experience. If a completed Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting system (CPARS) or DD2626 Performance Evaluation (Construction) is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal. If there is not a completed CPARS evaluation then the offeror shall submit the Past Performance Questionnaire for each project included in Factor 1- Corporate Experience. An offeror shall not submit a PPQ when a completed CPARS is available.

If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ (Attachment 7), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact, Ms. Gloria Lucero, via email at gloria.x.lucero.civ@us.navy.mil prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs or CPARS previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the offeror shall complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). The Government may make reasonable attempts to contact the client noted for that project(s) to obtain the PPQ information. However, offerors should follow-up with clients/references to help ensure timely submittal of questionnaires.

If the evaluation is in other than English, provide a translation of the evaluation into English. Documents provided in a language other than English, without an English translation will not be evaluated.

The Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company /subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the offeror.

Offerors may provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on projects submitted under Factor 1 – Corporate Experience. Offerors may also address any adverse past performance issues.

Explanations shall not exceed four (4) pages in total.

Performance awards or additional information submitted will not be considered.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation: The degree to which past performance evaluations and all other past performance information reviewed by the Government (e.g., PPIRS, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (e-SRS), performance recognition documents, and information obtained from any other source) reflect a trend of satisfactory performance considering:

- A pattern of successful completion of tasks;

‐ A pattern of deliverables that are timely and of good quality;

- How recently the tasks that are identical to, similar to or related to the task at hand were performed.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable”.

II. BASIS OF AWARD

1. The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contract; to negotiate with offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contract to the offeror submitting the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer.

2. As stated in the solicitation, the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In addition, if the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

3. The LPTA process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition because the best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest fair and reasonable evaluated price.

4. An overall non-price factors rating must be at least “ACCEPTABLE” in order to be eligible for award.

An “UNACCEPTABLE” rating in any factor results in the overall non-price factors proposal being rated “UNACCEPTABLE” unless corrected through discussions. An overall non-price factors rating of “UNACCEPTABLE” makes a proposal ineligible for award.
