• “Relevant experience” is work completed by an offeror that is similar in size, scope, and complexity to the types of projects intended to be awarded under the IDIQ contract.

Projects Note that once a relevancy determination is made, a further delineation regarding the “degree” of relevancy for the projects offered may be made by reviewing officials.

Further “degrees” of relevancy for the projects determined to be relevant will be as follows:

Very Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

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

Somewhat Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

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

• A “project” is defined as a single contract or single task order awarded under an indefinite quantity or on-call contract.

• The term “substantially complete” shall mean that more than 80% of the project has been performed.

• “Within the past five (5) years” shall be calculated from the date of the proposal submission. .

• “Long Term Management” (LTM) occurs when the selected remedy has achieved the cleanup goals (possibly done under the remedial action or RAO phase) and the hazardous substances remain at the site above levels that would allow unlimited use and unrestricted exposure. LTM may include long-term monitoring, implementation and/or management of land use controls (LUCs), maintenance of the final remedy, and preparation of the five-year review.

• “Remedial Action” (RA) may include, but are not limited to the construction of various soil, sediment, and/or groundwater remediation systems that functions as containment (e.g. soil cover, RCRA cap, slurry wall, pump and treatment system); in-situ treatment (e.g. natural attenuation, soil vapor extraction, enhanced bio-remediation, air-sparging) or ex-situ treatment (air stripping, constructed wetlands, offsite disposal, stabilization, solidification)

• “Remedial Action Operation” (RAO) is the phase of the CERCLA process when the remediation system (possibly constructed under the remedial action phase) is in place and is operating, or the chemical or biological processes are occurring leading to the cleanup objective. RAO may include active remediation, monitoring, operation, and optimization for extended periods of time to reduce contaminants to site cleanup standards; along with the implementation and management /maintenance of Land Use Controls (LUCs).

• For the purposes of this solicitation, the term “TEAM” shall be defined as two or more companies, which form a partnership or joint venture to act as a potential PRIME CONTRACTOR for the purposes of contract performance under the subject solicitation.

L.8.3 Factor 3 Safety - Solicitation Submittal Requirements

L.8.3.1 Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The Offeror shall submit the following information:

The Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate; and Total Case Rate (TCR) for the specified five (5) Calendar Years (CY), as well as a safety narrative, as described further below. For a partnership or joint venture, the Offeror shall submit separate DART rates and TCR for the specified five (5) CY for each contractor who is part of the partnership/joint venture; however, only one safety narrative is required. Any fatalities experienced within this 5-year timeframe must be explained in detail, to include root cause and corrective actions.

NOTE: DART and TCR shall not be submitted for subcontractors.

• DART Rate: Submit five (5) previous complete calendar years’ [CY2021, CY2020, CY2019, CY2018, and CY2017] worth of data (not an overall average). If the Offeror has no DART rate, for any year, affirmatively state so and explain why. Should a negative trend occur above moderate risk levels, an acceptable/detailed explanation is required that includes any corrective actions taken for improvement.

• DART cases include injuries or illnesses resulting in death, days away from work, and/or restricted work or transfer to another job days beyond the day of injury/illness.

• Calculation of DART rate: Multiply the total number of DART cases by 200,000, and then divide by the number of employee labor hours worked.

L.8.3.2 TCR Rate: Submit five (5) previous complete calendar years’ [CY2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017] worth of data (not an overall average). If the Offeror has no TCR rate, for any year, affirmatively state so and explain why. Should a negative trend occur above moderate risk levels, an acceptable/detailed explanation is required that includes any corrective actions taken for improvement.

• TCR cases include injuries or illnesses resulting in death, days away from work, restricted work or transfer to another job days beyond the day of injury/illness, medical treatment beyond first aid, or loss of consciousness.

• Calculation of TCR rate: Multiply the total number of TCR incidents by 200,000, and then divide by the number of employee labor hours worked.

L.8.3.3 Technical Approach to Safety:

• Describe the Offeror’ s approach to implementing and executing a Safety Management

System (SMS) including Management/ Leadership involvement, Employee involvement, Hazard prevention, Hazard control, Worksite analysis, and Safety and health training, to include the standard(s) used to benchmark the SMS.

• Describe the evaluation process used to select potential subcontractors.

• Describe the processes of how the Offeror will oversee safety compliance of subcontractors at all levels throughout performance of the contract (to include the Offeror’s own in-house workforce).

The Government reserves the right to review other available sources (public/Government internal) of information. These may include but are not limited to OSHA data, NAVFAC’s Contractor Incident Reporting System (CIRS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Electronic Contract Management System (eCMS), etc.

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 evaluation will collectively consider the DART rate, TCR, Technical Approach to Safety, and other sources of information available to the Government as part of such collective evaluation. The board will evaluate the DART rates and TCR 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.

NOTE: In the event the prime will perform all work with its in house staff, that is NO subcontractors will be used at any level, provide this information in your narrative to document why the required information concerning subcontractors is not included in your proposal. Failure to provide the required information or an affirmative statement that the offeror shall perform all work itself without subcontractors will be considered a material defect rendering the proposal UNACCEPTABLE for this factor.

All information outlined above in (1), (2), and (3) MUST be provided or the proposal will be considered UNACCPTABLE. If information is not available in the submitted narratives, provide a reason for missing required information.

L.8.3.4 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 evaluation will collectively consider the DART rate, TCR, Technical Approach to Safety, and other sources of information available to the Government as part of such collective evaluation.

The board will evaluate the DART rates and TCR 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.

• DART Rate: The board will evaluate trends over the last five (5) years considering changes that take it from one risk level (or more) to the next up or down. Negative trends occurring above moderate risk levels require the offeror to provide a detailed explanation that includes any corrective actions taken for improvement.

o Missing data without an explanation is considered a deficiency.

o Declining trends, that push the risk levels from Moderate Risk (MR) or higher to

Low Risk (LR) or Very Low Risk (VLR) would indicate a strength.

o An increasing DART rate trend could be considered a weakness (i.e. MR or better to High Risk (HR) or Extremely High Risk EHR)) if an acceptable explanation is not provided for any trends that rise above Moderate.

o This chart correlates the DART rate to the level of risk:

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

• TCR Rate: The board will evaluate trends over the last five (5) years considering changes that take it from one risk level (or more) to the next up or down. Negative trends occurring above moderate risk levels require the offeror to provide a detailed explanation that includes any corrective actions taken for improvement.

o Missing data without an explanation is considered a deficiency.

o Declining trends, that push the risk levels from Moderate Risk (MR) or higher to

Low Risk (LR) or Very Low Risk (VLR) would indicate a strength.

o An increasing TCR rate trend could be considered a weakness (i.e. MR or better to

High Risk (HR) or Extremely High Risk EHR)) if an acceptable explanation is not provided for any trends that rise above Moderate.

o This chart correlates the TCR rate to the level of risk:

Risk TCR Rate Very Low Risk Less Than 2.49 Low Risk From 2.5 to 3.49 Moderate Risk From 3.5 to 4.49 High Risk From 4.5 to 5.99 Extremely High Risk Greater than 6.0

• The Technical Approach to Safety Narrative. To determine the degree to which the

Offeror:

o Describes a viable SMS that addresses elements; such as Management/Leadership involvement, Employee involvement, Hazard prevention, Hazard control, Worksite analysis, and Safety and health training, to include the standard(s) used to benchmark the SMS.

o Describes a methodical process of evaluating subcontractor’s safety performance in their selection process.

o Describes a logical management plan to hold themselves and their subcontractors accountable for adhering to the safety requirements of the contract.

• The Government reserves the right to review other available sources (public/Government internal) of information. These may include but are not limited to OSHA data, NAVFAC’s Contractor Incident Reporting System (CIRS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Electronic Contract Management System (eCMS), etc. 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.

NOTE: In the event the prime will perform all work with its in-house staff, that is NO subcontractors will be used at any level, provide this information in your narrative to document why the required information concerning subcontractors is not included in your proposal. Failure to provide the required information or an affirmative statement that the offeror shall perform all work itself without subcontractors will be considered a material defect rendering the proposal UNACCEPTABLE for this factor.

All information outlined above in (1), (2), and (3) MUST be provided or the proposal will be considered UNACCPTABLE. If information is not available in the submitted narratives, provide a reason for missing required information.

L.8.4 Factor 4 Past Performance

L.8.4.2 Definitions

• Past Performance is a measure of the degree to which an offeror satisfied its customers’ requirements in the past and complied with applicable laws and regulations.

L.8.4.3 Solicitation Submittal Requirements

• For each project submitted under Factor 2: IF A COMPLETED CPARS

EVALUATION IS AVAILABLE, IT SHALL BE SUBMITTED WITH THE

PROPOSAL. IF THERE IS NOT A COMPLETED CPARS EVALUATION, the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), Section J-7, included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project the offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 1. AN OFFEROR SHALL NOT SUBMIT A PPQ

WHEN A COMPLETED CPARS IS AVAILABLE.

• IF A CPARS EVALUATION IS NOT AVAILABLE, ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed PPQs should be submitted with your proposal. 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 (Section J), 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, Andre Forte, via email at andre.forte.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.

• Also include performance recognition documents received within the last five (5) years such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

• In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. 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 team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) 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.

• 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.

L.8.4.4 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 (eSRS), 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.

• A pattern of cooperativeness and teamwork with the Government at all levels (task managers, contracting officers, auditors, etc.).
