00210 BASIS OF AWARD AND EVAL

Section 00210 Basis of Award and Evaluation Factors

1. BASIS OF AWARD – MULTIPLE AWARD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS

(a) The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contracts; to negotiate with offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contracts to the offerors submitting the proposals determined to represent the best value—the proposals most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

(b) 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.”

(c) The tradeoff process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition. The Government considers it to be in its best interest to allow consideration of award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror.

(d) All technical factors when combined are of equal importance to the performance confidence assessment (past performance) rating; and all technical factors and the performance confidence assessment (past performance) rating, when combined are approximately equal to price.

(e) Any proposal found to have a deficiency in meeting the stated solicitation requirements or performance objectives will be considered ineligible for award, unless the deficiency is corrected through discussions. Proposals may be found to have either a significant weakness or multiple weaknesses that impact either the individual factor rating or the overall rating for the proposal. The evaluation report must document the evaluation board’s assessment of the identified weakness(s) and the associated risk to successful contract performance resulting from the weakness(s). This assessment must provide the rationale for proceeding to award without discussions.

2. BASIS OF AWARD – SEED TASK ORDER

After the Government selects the awardees for the Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC), the Government will determine which of the awardees will receive the award of the Seed Task Order. The Government will select the proposal from the awardee that offers the best value considering the rating for Factor 3 for the MACC, and the price for the Seed Task Order. Offerors eliminated from consideration to receive a MACC contract will be ineligible to receive award of the Seed Task Order.

3. DEFINITIONS

CONCURRENT PROJECT(S): Projects with multiple starting and ending points, performed under separate task orders, and/or contracts where the period of performance occurred simultaneously for a substantial (two months or more) period of time.

DESIGN-BUILD: Refers to combining design and construction in a single contract with one contractor.

Design-build projects require design of the project by a licensed professional (i.e. engineer, architect).

Projects that only require shop drawing level effort are not design-build projects.

FIVE-YEAR PERIOD: Refers to period of time for which projects may be submitted for experience and past performance. The five-year period is calculated by counting back five years from the issue date of the

RFP.

FULLY DESIGNED PROJECT: Refers to the traditional delivery method where design and construction are sequential and contracted for separately with two contracts and two contractors.

LEAD ARCHITECT: Refers to the Designer of Record and Manager of the Design.

LEAD DESIGN FIRM: Applies to any outside Lead Design Firm and any in-house Lead Designer(s).

The Superintendent will be responsible for compliance with all applicable Health, Safety and Environmental regulations specific to the geographic site. The Superintendent shall be an employee of the prime contractor.

4. ADJECTIVAL RATINGS:

(a) Non-Price Factors: Except for Past Performance, non-price factors will be rated using the following adjectival rating scheme:

i. OUTSTANDING: Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

ii. GOOD: Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

iii. ACCEPTABLE: Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

iv. MARGINAL: Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

v. UNACCEPTABLE: Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is unawardable.

(b) Past Performance: First, the Government will evaluate the relevancy of all projects/contracts submitted by the offeror and other information available (Relevancy Assessment). Second, the Government will, considering relevancy and the offeror’s performance on those contracts, assign a Performance Confidence Assessment Rating.

(1) For Relevancy, past performance will be rated using the following adjectival rating scheme:

i. VERY RELEVANT: Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

ii. RELEVANT: Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

iii. SOMEWHAT RELEVANT: Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

iv. NOT RELEVANT: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

(2) For Performance Confidence, past performance will be rated using the following adjectival rating scheme:

i. SUBSTANTIAL CONFIDENCE: Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

ii. SATISFACTORY CONFIDENCE: Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

iii. LIMITED CONFIDENCE: Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

iv. NO CONFIDENCE: Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

v. UNKNOWN CONFIDENCE (NEUTRAL): No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

5. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD:

Factor 1 - Recent, Relevant Experience of the Offeror and the Offeror’s Lead Design Firm(s)

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: Use Attachment “A” (Offeror’s Experience Data Sheet) to submit Offeror’s projects for evaluation. Use Attachment “A” (Lead Design Firm’s Experience Data Sheet) to submit Lead Design Firm’s projects for evaluation. Submit a maximum of five (5) relevant construction projects for the Offeror and a maximum of five (5) for the Offeror’s lead design firms, that best demonstrates construction and design experience on projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to the RFP. For purposes of this evaluation, a relevant project is further defined as:

Approximate value of $50,000 to $1,000,000; included tower inspection and repair or tower construction and/or electrical power (generator, UPS, switchgear), HVAC, or similar equipment installation.

Projects submitted must have been completed within the past five (5) years of the date of issuance of this RFP to be considered.

A project is defined as a construction project performed under a single task order or contract. For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the contract as a whole shall not be submitted as a project; rather Offerors shall submit the work performed under a task order as a project.

The attached Construction & Design Experience Project Data Sheet (Attachment A) is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information. If the same project is being used to demonstrate construction and design experience, submit separate Project Data Sheets for construction and design.

Except as specifically requested, the Government will not consider information submitted in addition to this form. Individual blocks on this form may be expanded; however, total length for each project data sheet shall not exceed one (1) double-sided page (or two (2) single-sided pages).

For all submitted projects, the description of the project shall clearly describe the scope of work performed and the relevancy to the project requirements of this RFP (i.e.: unique features, area, construction methods).

If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant project experience should be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity. If the Joint Venture does not have shared experience, projects may be submitted for the Joint Venture members. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.

If an Offeror is utilizing experience information of affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies (name is not exactly as stated on the SF1442), the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent firm will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract.

Factor 4 - Safety

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The Offeror shall submit the following information: (For a partnership or joint venture, the following submittal requirements are required for each contractor who is part of the partnership or joint venture; however, only one safety narrative is required. EMR and DART Rates shall not be submitted for subcontractors.)

(1) Experience Modification Rate (EMR): For the three previous complete calendar years [2011, 2012, 2013], submit your EMR (which compares your company’s annual losses in insurance claims against its policy premiums over a three year period). If you have no EMR, affirmatively state so, and explain why.

Any extenuating circumstances that affected the EMR and upward or downward trends should be addressed as part of this element. Lower EMRs may be given greater weight in the evaluation.

(2) OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate: For the three previous complete calendar years [2011, 2012, 2013], submit your OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate, as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration. If you cannot submit an OSHA DART Rate, affirmatively state so, and explain why. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the OSHA DART Rate data and upward or downward trends should be addressed as part of this element (i.e. low number of labor hours in a given year). Lower OSHA DART Rates may be given greater weight in the evaluation.

(3) Technical Approach for Safety: Describe the plan that the Offeror will implement to evaluate safety performance of potential subcontractors, as a part of the selection process for all levels of subcontractors.

Also, describe any innovative methods that the Offeror will employ to ensure and monitor safe work practices at all subcontractor levels. The Safety Narrative shall be limited to two pages.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation: The Government is seeking to determine that the Offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to safety and that the Offeror plans to properly manage and implement safety procedures for itself and its subcontractors. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s overall safety record, the Offeror’s plan to select and monitor subcontractors, any and innovative safety methods that the Offeror plans to implement for this procurement. The Government’s sources of information for evaluating safety may include, but are not limited to, OSHA, NAVFAC’s Facility Accident and Incident Reporting (FAIR) database, and other related databases. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete safety information regarding these submittal requirements rests with the Offeror. The evaluation will collectively consider the following:

- Experience Modification Rate (EMR)

- OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate

- Offeror Technical Approach to Safety

- Other sources of information available to the Government

(1) Experience Modification Rate (EMR): The Government will evaluate the EMR to determine if the Offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices taking into account any upward or downward trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rating. Lower EMRs may be given greater weight in the evaluation.

The Government will evaluate the EMR to determine if the Offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices taking into account any upward or downward trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rating. Lower EMRs may be evaluated more favorably. For consistency, as a general guideline, the Government will use the table below to assist in evaluating the EMRs of the offerors.

Risk EMR Very Low Risk Less than 0.6

Low Risk From 0.6 to less than 0.8 Moderate Risk From 0.8 to 1.0 High Risk Greater than1.0 to 1.1 Extremely High Risk Greater than 1.1

(2) OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate: The Government will evaluate the OSHA DART Rate to determine if the Offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices taking into account any upward or downward trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rates. Lower OSHA DART Rates may be given greater weight in the evaluation. For consistency, as a general guideline, the Government will use the table below to assist in evaluating the DART rates of the offerors.

Risk DART Rate Very Low Risk Less Than 1.0 Low Risk From 1.0 to 1.99 Moderate Risk From 2.0 to 2.99 High Risk From 3.0 to 4.0 Extremely High Risk Greater than 4.0

(3) Technical Approach to Safety: The Government will evaluate the narrative to determine the degree to which subcontractor safety performance will be considered in the selection of all levels of subcontractors on the upcoming project. The Government will also evaluate the narrative to determine the degree to which innovations are being proposed that may enhance safety on this procurement. Those Offerors whose plan demonstrates a commitment to hire subcontractors with a culture of safety and who propose innovative methods to enhance a safe working environment may be given greater weight in the evaluation.

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: Offerors shall submit past performance information on the same projects that were submitted by the Offeror under Factor 1. For each project/contract, there are two submittal requirements: (1) past performance evaluation forms; and (2) a narrative statement.

(1) Past Performance Evaluation Forms: If a completed Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS) evaluation is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal for each project included in Factor 1 for experience. If there is not a completed CCASS evaluation then submit Past Performance Questionnaires (Attachment B) for each project included in Factor 1 for Experience. The Offeror should provide completed Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) in the proposal. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs 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 client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact at Helaine.stallion@navy.mil

(2) Narrative Statement: Offerors must submit a statement for each project/contract submitted that provides an overview of each project/contract and how the project/contract is relevant to the work described in the performance work statement of this solicitation. The statement for each project/contract may not exceed one page.
