WAGE RATE REQUIREMENTS CONSTRUCTION IN FACILITY SUPPORT CONTRACTS

INCLUDING CONSTRUCTION

This contract contains only one Wage Rate Requirement Construction General Decision which shall be in effect for the life of the contract. The contractor may include in the offered price for the option years any increase needed for wages or benefits for construction work under the contract. The contractor warrants that the prices in the option years of this contract do not include any allowance for any contingency to cover increased cost for which adjustment is provided under FAR clause 52.217- 43, Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Act - Price Adjustment. Offerors are required to segregate Davis-Bacon hours and wages and SCA hours and wages in the payroll records.

B.7 Bid Guarantee/Bonding Requirements: Performance and Payment bonds shall be provided by the contractor when applicable for IDIQ task orders containing construction services.

B.8 Contract Term: This contract contains provisions for a Base Period with four (4) Option Periods, not to exceed a total of five (5) years.

B.10 Evaluation of Proposal: Proposers shall submit a lump sum price for Section B, CLINs 0001 through 0010 and unit prices for Exhibit A through Exhibit E, referenced in Section J. For purposes of evaluating offers for award, the Government will utilize the pricing submitted for the base year and all option periods. Refer to Section M, FAR 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options (JUL 1990).

In order to permit efficient competition, the Navy will utilize the following methodology: Proposals will initially be screened for price and placed in order of price (lowest priced to highest price). The Navy will then evaluate the technical factors of the three (3) lowest priced proposals. The Navy will make award to the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal from among the three (3) lowest priced proposals. However, if no proposals are found to be technically acceptable within the first group of proposals, the Navy, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to increase the number of proposals it will review, until the Government identifies a technically acceptable proposal.

Accordingly, under this methodology, the technical factors of some proposals may not be evaluated by the Navy. If discussions are deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer, all proposals will be evaluated (both technical and price) for the purpose of establishing a competitive range.

B.11 Contract Line Items And Contract Exhibit Line Items

a. Proposers shall enter unit prices and amounts for Contract Line Items (CLINs) and Contract Exhibit line items (ELINs) as indicated in the schedules and accompanying exhibits.

b. In the event there is a difference between a unit price and the extended total amount, the unit price will be held to be the intended bid and the total of the CLIN, the ELIN will be recomputed accordingly. The CLIN will also be recomputed to take into account the change in the contract ELINs. If the offeror provides a total amount for an ELIN, but fails to enter the unit price, the total amount divided by the ELIN quantity will be held to be the intended unit price.

c. The Schedule of Firm Fixed Price Work (CLIN 0001, 0003, 0005, 0007 and 0009) and the Schedule of Indefinite Quantity Work (CLIN 0002, 0004, 0006, 0008 and 0010) will be used as the basis for deductions in accordance with FAC Clause 52.246-4, "INSPECTION OF SERVICES-FIXED PRICE" Section E.

B.12 Unit Price Adjustments In Option Periods

This contract incorporates the Service Contract Act (SCA), Wage Rate Requirements Construction (formerly Davis-Bacon) and a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).

B.24 Proposal Delivery

NOTICE TO PROPOSER

DBIDS INFORMATION:

Access to Installation: All Contractor personnel shall obtain access to the installation through enrollment and registration into the Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS).

The Contractor shall provide the KO with the name of their designated Service Contractor Administrator (SCA) for enrollment in DBIDS. Once enrolled, the Contractor must provide the DBIDS Registrar with an approved employee list and then direct their employees to register into DBIDS.

DBIDS Program: DBIDS is an enterprise identity management and perimeter installation access control solution in which Contractor personnel who enroll, and are approved, are subsequently granted access to the installation for a period up to three years, or the length of the contract, whichever is less, and are not required to obtain a new pass from the Base Pass and Identification Office for each visit. There are no fees associated with obtaining a DBIDS credential.

The Government performs background screening and credentialing. Throughout the year the Contractor employee must continue to meet background screening standards. Periodic background screenings are conducted to verify continued DBIDS participation and installation access privileges. DBIDS access privileges will be immediately suspended or revoked if at any time a Contractor employee becomes ineligible.

DBIDS Credentials: Contractor employees shall furnish a completed copy of the SECNAV 5512/1 form to obtain the required background check and visit the local Navy Installation Visitor Control Center to obtain a DBIDS credential once approved. The SECNAV 5512/1 form and additional information about DBIDS can be found at:

https://www.cnic.navy.mil/om/dbids.html.

The Contractor may initiate the adjudication process when a background screen failure results in disqualification from participation in DBIDS and the Contractor employees do not agree with the reason for disqualification. The Contractor may also apply for a waiver when a background screening failure results in disqualification from participation in DBIDS.

The Commanding Officer will be the final waiver determination authority.

The Contractor shall immediately collect employee DBIDS credentials and notify the KO in writing:

(1) That an employee has departed the company without having properly returned or surrendered their DBIDS credentials.

(2) That there is a reasonable basis to conclude that an employee, or former employee, might pose a risk, compromise, or threat to the safety or security of the installation or anyone therein.

DBIDS Paper Passes: In the event that a visitor, vendor, or Contractor employee elects not to participate in DBIDS, the individual will be issued DBIDS paper pass from the Base Pass and Identification Office in order to access to the installation. The time standard for the validity of a pass to access an installation will be not more than thirty (30) days and may be further restricted based on local policy or by Federal, DOD, Navy, and CNIC guidance.

The Government will not be responsible for any cost or lost time associated with obtaining paper passes or added vetting or inspections incurred by non-participants in the DBIDS credentialing process.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

BASIS OF AWARD

M.1 Basis for Award

a. The Government will select the lowest-price technically acceptable offer at a reasonable cost to the Government.

M.2 Evaluation Factors

a. The solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-price factors:

Factor 1– Technical Approach/Management Factor 2 – Corporate Experience Factor 3 – Safety Factor 4 – Past Performance

In order to permit efficient competition, the Navy will utilize the following methodology: Proposals will initially be screened for price and placed in order of price (lowest priced to highest price). The Navy will then evaluate the technical factors of the three (3) lowest priced proposals. The Navy will make award to the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal from among the three (3) lowest priced proposals. However, if no proposals are found to be technically acceptable within the first group of proposals, the Navy, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to increase the number of proposals it will review, until the Government identifies a technically acceptable proposal. Accordingly, under this methodology, the technical factors of some proposals may not be evaluated by the Navy. If discussions are deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer, all proposals will be evaluated (both technical and price) for the purpose of establishing a competitive range.

NOTE: 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.

b. Technical proposals will be evaluated to ensure the offeror understands the requirements of the solicitation in accordance with the following descriptions of each evaluation factor.

(1) Factor 1 - Technical Approach/Managemenat:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The offeror shall submit a narrative response that clearly demonstrates its understanding of and approach to accomplishing the complexity and magnitude of service requirements set forth in the performance objectives and standards of the Performance Work Statement. Each of the topics below must be included in the narrative, tabbed in the technical proposal, and discussed separately.

a. Phase-In Transition Plan. Describe what you will do to "start-up'' for performance of this contract. The phase-in transition period is 30 days as per F.2 of the RFP. Include a schedule of key events, personnel actions, identification of key personnel and their responsibilities.

b. Workforce Management.

(1) Describe the lines of management authority, supervision, span of control and accountability, including the relationship between overall management (corporate and on-site), administration, and subcontractors.

(2) Provide an Organizational chart of your proposed organization and a workforce project management plan.

(3) Demonstrate your ability to provide and maintain a qualified workforce.

c. Quality Management. Provide a two page summary of your “Quality Management System” i.e. the Quality Processes (Practices, Resources and Activities) and minimum controls that will be used to ensure full compliance with all performance objectives and standards as described in Section 0200000 – Management and Administration. Include the methodology to be implemented to accomplish the performance requirements and detail how the proposed approach will effectively achieve each performance objective and standard.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation: This factor shall be evaluated considering some or all of the following criteria:

a. The proposal demonstrates an acceptable understanding of the performance objectives and standards.

b. The proposal demonstrates a thorough plan for having equipment and personnel in place to commence work on the contract start date.

c. The proposal provides a feasible technical approach with the capability to, at least, meet solicitation performance objectives and standards.

d. The proposal offers a low to moderate performance risk to the Government.

(2) Factor 2- Corporate Experience:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: Offerors shall submit the following information:

Submit a minimum of one (1) and a maximum of five (5) relevant projects (as the prime contractor) that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to the work requirements specified in the solicitation. Size, scope, and complexity are further defined as follows:

Size: A railroad trackage maintenance service contract with a yearly value of at least $2M or greater per year for recurring services. Individual Indefinite Quantity / Indefinite Delivery task orders for infrequent work will not be considered similar in size.

Scope: Demonstrate the ability to provide maintenance and repair services of railroad trackage, including, but not limited to, roads and paved surfaces and waterfront and main station railroads, or other similar services as defined by the RFP. Demonstrate the ability to perform various miscellaneous services including, but not limited to, vegetation control, debris removal and ditch maintenance, and other services that may be typical of a railroad maintenance contract.

Complexity: Demonstrate the ability to respond simultaneously to service call and maintenance requirements for repair, alteration, demolition and minor construction at various locations and buildings throughout the installation and supporting annexes. Demonstrate the ability to manage competing priorities in order to support customer demands.

Projects submitted for the offeror shall be completed within the past five (5) years of the date of issuance of the solicitation.

The attached Corporate Experience Form (Attachment J-0200000-09) 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 as it relates to size, scope, and complexity.

If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant project experience shall be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity. If the Joint Venture does not have shared experience, projects shall be submitted for each Joint Venture partner. For a JV, the offeror shall provide the signed U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)-approved Joint Venture Agreement or an SBA-approved Mentor-Protégé Agreement as part of this Factor. Failure to submit an SBA-approved Agreement will result in the relationship being considered as Prime/Subcontractor, and the prime contractor will not be found acceptable on the basis of the subcontractor’s experience only. 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 SF33), the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent firm will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract.

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. As noted above, to be deemed acceptable under this factor, the offeror must be the prime contractor on at least one (1) relevant project (similar size, scope and complexity as the current requirement). The prime contractor will not be found acceptable on the basis of its subcontractor’s experience. Additionally, the prime contractor’s experience as a subcontractor will not be considered.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation:

The basis of evaluation will include the offeror’s demonstrated experience and depth of experience in performing relevant projects as defined in the solicitation submittal requirements above. 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 the first five projects submitted. Any projects submitted in excess of the five (5) for this factor will not be considered.

(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, DART and TRC Rates shall not be submitted for subcontractors.)

(1) Experience Modification Rate (EMR): Include three previous complete calendar years’ worth of data. This rate compares company’s annual losses in insurance claims against its policy premiums. The offeror may submit an insurance company-provided equivalent rate if no EMR exists. If the offeror has no EMR or premium, for any year, the offeror shall affirmatively state so and explain why. Any extenuating circumstances that affect the EMR and negative trends m be addressed as part of the factor submission.

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

Rate and Total Recordable Case (TRC) Rate: Submit three previous complete calendar years’ worth of data. If an offeror cannot submit an OSHA DART and TRC rates, for any year, the offeror shall affirmatively state so and an explanation must be provided. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the OSHA, DART, and TRC rate data negatively must be addressed as part of this factor submission.

(3) Technical Approach for Safety:

Describe the plan for safety that will be implemented to evaluate safety performance of potential subcontractors as part of the selection process for all levels of subcontractors.

The offeror shall submit a narrative that fully describes the safety management system that they will use to oversee the safety compliance and performance of self-performed and subcontractor performed work.

The offeror will describe any innovative methods that will be employed to ensure and monitor safe work practices at self-performed and/or all subcontractor levels.

Additionally, the contactor will describe their methodology to execute an effective program that facilitates sound mishap prevention techniques and processes, employee reporting of unsafe conditions, unsafe activities, and near-miss mishaps. The technical approach to safety narrative shall be limited to two pages.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation: The evaluation will collectively consider the following:

- Experience Modification Rate (EMR)

- OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) and Total Recordable Case (TRC) Rates

- Offeror Technical Approach to Safety

- Other sources of information available to the Government

(1) Experience Modification Rate (EMR): For the three previous complete calendar years the offeror will submit EMR. If no EMR exists, the offeror may submit an insurance company-provided equivalent rate explaining why not. If an insurance company-provided equivalent rate is provided, it will be treated the same as an EMR. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the EMR and negative trends should be addressed as part of this selection factor. The board will evaluate the EMR to determine if the offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices taking into account any negative trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rating.

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

(DART) and Total Recordable Case (TRC) Rates: For the three previous complete calendar years, the offeror must submit their OSHA DART and TRC, as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration. If unable to submit OSHA DART and TRC rates, the offeror shall affirmatively state so, and an explanation must be provided. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the OSHA DART and TRC rate data and negative trends should be addressed as part of this element. The board will evaluate the OSHA DART and TRC rates to determine if the offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices taking into account any upward trends and extenuating circumstances that impact rates.

(3) Technical Approach to Safety: The offeror will describe their plan to evaluate their safety performance and that of potential 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. The board 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.

Proposals will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness as follows:

(1) Completeness. All pricing information required by the solicitation has been provided, all mathematic computations are correct and the pricing application understood, prices are on an “all or none” basis, and failure to submit a price on an item or a number of items may cause this factor and the entire offer to be determined Unacceptable.

(2) Reasonableness. Price analysis comparisons indicate the offered price to be fair and reasonable, balanced across option years, and balanced between fixed-price and IDIQ items.

Unreasonable, unbalanced, or incomplete pricing may cause a proposal to be determined unacceptable.
