5.0 PROPOSALS

Offerors are required to submit both technical and price proposals. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. For this solicitation, the combinations of the technical submittals are equal in value to the price.

The technical proposal and the price proposal shall be submitted in separate volumes. The technical proposal shall not contain any cost/pricing information except for salary information provided on resumes.

Proposals are due no later than 2:00 p.m. (EDT) on Wednesday, April 30, 2010. Proposals shall be submitted to the following address:

NAVFAC Midwest PWD Crane – Acquisition Department Attn: Lorna Tribby (Code PRCR 22) NSA, Bldg 2516 300 Hwy 361 Crane, IN 47522-5082

The Government will award this solicitation to the single offeror whose proposal conforming to the solicitation will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered:

TECHNICAL PROPOSAL: Offerors shall submit an original and three (3) copies of the Technical Proposal.

Pages must be singled sided 8 ½ " x 11" and may be formatted in landscape or portrait format. Pages may be single-spaced in any font size legible to the naked eye. Pages of print are defined as text, diagrams, pictures, charts, tables, maps, appendices to proposal, or forms. Tabs are required for all sections of the technical proposal.

In addition, the offeror may submit catalog cuts, brochures or other pre-printed material as long as the exact item to be incorporated is identified.

To facilitate the evaluation, the technical proposal should be sufficiently detailed and complete to clearly and fully demonstrate that the offeror has a thorough understanding of the requirements.

Extraneous information in the technical proposal may be construed as indicative of the offeror’s ignorance of the subject or a casual approach to the RFP. Statements that the prospective offeror understands and can or will comply with all specifications, statements paraphrasing the statement of work or parts thereof, and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used”, etc will be considered insufficient.

Elaborate brochures, binding, detailed artwork are unnecessary. The technical proposal shall be clear, concise and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror’s proposal.

Proposals unrealistic in terms of technical or schedule commitments or unrealistically low in price will be considered lacking technical competence or comprehension of the complexity and risks of the contract requirements and may be rated as technically unacceptable.

Technical Evaluation Factors to be addressed in this solicitation are identified below:

Factor 1 – Electrical Narratives Subfactor 1A – Technical Approach Subfactor 1B – Management Approach Factor 2 – Experience Subfactor 2A – Construction Experience

Subfactor 2B – Environmental Compliance Experience Factor 3 – Safety Factor 4 – Past Performance

The distinction between experience and past performance is experience pertains to the types of work and volume of work completed by a contractor that are comparable to the types of work covered by this requirement, in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Past performance pertains to both the relevance of recent efforts and how well a contractor has performed on the contracts. The relative order of importance of the non-cost/price evaluation factors is that technical factors (1, 2, and 3) are equal to each other and when combined are equal in importance to past performance (Factor 4). The combined non-cost/price factors are approximately equal to price.

1. Basis of Evaluation and Submittal Requirements for Each Factor.

(a) Price:

(1) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: Offerors shall submit an original and three copies of the price proposal.

(2) Factor 2, Experience:

Subfactor 2A: Construction Experience

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: Submit a maximum of five (5) construction projects for the Offeror that best demonstrates your experience on relevant projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to the RFP. For purposes of this evaluation, a relevant project is further defined as:

For this solicitation, a relevant project is one that involves various types of new electrical construction or electrical renovation projects, with minimal or no design required. A relevant project may also be a project that includes subcontractor experience. A relevant project is a firm fixed priced project with a cost range from approximately $100,000 to approximately $1 million. Projects involving hazardous atmosphere rating and explosive operations may be viewed more favorably.

Relevant projects that demonstrate experience with installing fiber and power (12.47KV, 480V or 120V) may be considered more favorably than those that do not demonstrate experience with installing fiber and power. Relevant projects that demonstrate experience with Electrical Sub Station Maintenance may be considered more favorably than those that do not demonstrate experience with Electrical Sub Station Experience. Offerors who submit relevant projects that demonstrate experience self-performing relevant features of work may receive a higher rating than those who do not demonstrate self-performance.

Submit a minimum of four (4) and a maximum of five (5) construction projects for the Offeror. This shall include a minimum of two (2) high voltage projects and a minimum of two (2) low voltage projects.

Projects submitted for the Offeror shall be completed within the past five (5) years of the date of issuance of this RFP. 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 Experience Project Data Sheet (Attachment A) is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information. 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.: High Voltage, Sub Station maintenance, Fiber work, etc).

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.

The Offeror may utilize experience of a subcontractor that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement to demonstrate construction experience under this evaluation factor. The Offer must provide a letter of commitment and an explanation of the meaningful involvement that the subcontractor will have in performance of this contract.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation: The basis of evaluation will include the Offeror’s demonstrated experience and depth of experience in performing relevant construction projects as defined in the solicitation submittal requirements. The assessment of the Offeror’s relevant experience will be used as a means of evaluating the capability of the Offeror to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP. The Government will only review five projects for construction. Any projects submitted in excess of the five (5) for Construction Experience will not be considered.

Subfactor 2B: Environmental Compliance Experience

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The Contractor shall:

a. Demonstrate knowledge and experience working in a solid waste management unit (SWMU) and applicable training (i.e. HAZWOPER 40 hr.)

b. Demonstrate knowledge and experience of hazardous material abatement, including, but not limited to lead, cadmium, chromium, asbestos, PCB, energetics and explosives. Provide narrative on asbestos abatement within a facility that has potentially unstable structure and energetic residues present.

c. Contractor shall provide narrative demonstrating knowledge of environmental regulations and the contractor’s solution to comply with those regulations within this project. This shall include, at a minimum, permitting, abatement, disposal requirements, and engineering field controls during construction. For any abatement requiring licensed personnel the contractor shall ensure that the personnel are licensed in the state the work will take place.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation: The basis of evaluation will include the Offeror’s demonstrated experience with environmental compliance as defined in the solicitation submittal requirements.

(3) Factor 3, 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 (3) previous complete calendar years (2011, 2012, and 2013), submit your EMR (which compares your company’s annual losses in insurance claims against its policy premiums over a three (3) 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 will be given greater weight in the evaluation. EMRs shall be submitted on insurance company letterhead.

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

For the three (3) previous complete calendar years (2011, 2012, and 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.

Lower OSHA DART Rates will 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 Enterprise Safety Applications Management System (ESAMS), 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 will be given greater weight in the evaluation.

(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 will be given greater weight in the evaluation.

(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.

(c) Past Performance

(1) Factor 4, Past Performance:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: 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 2 for construction experience. AN OFFEROR SHALL NOT SUBMIT A PPQ WHEN A COMPLETED CCASS IS AVAILABLE. If there is not a completed CCASS evaluation then submit Past Performance Questionnaires (Attachment B) for each project included in Factor 2 for Construction 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, Lorna Tribby, lorna.tribby@navy.mil.

Offerors may provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on projects submitted under Factor 2 – Experience. Offerors may also address any adverse past performance issues. Explanations shall not exceed two (2) double-sided pages (or four (4) single-sided pages) in total.

The Government reserves the right to contact references for verification or additional information.

The Government’s inability to contact any of the Offeror’s references or the references unwillingness to provide the information requested may affect the Government’s evaluation of this factor.

Performance award or additional information submitted will not be considered.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation: This evaluation focuses on how well the Offeror performed on the relevant projects submitted under Factor 2 – Experience and past performance on other projects currently documented in known sources. More emphasis will be placed on more relevant projects. In addition to the above, the Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. Other 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 Contractors who are part of a partnership or joint venture identified in the Offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror.

The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, the source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the Contractor’s performance. This evaluation is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination. The assessment of the Offeror’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the Offeror’s probability to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP.

Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably in past performance and will receive an Unknown Confidence rating.

However, offerors who successfully show relevant past performance will be viewed more favorably than those who do not.

6.0 BASIS FOR AWARD

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.

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.

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 evaluated price.

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 “UNACCEPTABLE” rating in any subfactor results in the factor being rated “UNACCEPTABLE” and 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.
