If GPS is allowed for establishing on‐site horizontal control points, each point shall be checked with a significantly different satellite constellation. The Surveyor shall also perform and document direct field measurement checks between the monuments established by GPS.

Conventional survey control loops for the QC check shall achieve closures as stated above and as outlined in the FGDC Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards, Part 4: Standards for A/E/C, and Facility Management.

If GPS is allowed for establishing vertical control points, each point shall be checked with a significantly different satellite constellation. The Surveyor shall also perform and document direct differential level loop closure checks between the monuments established using GPS.

Conventional survey control loops for the QC checks shall achieve closures as stated above and as outlined in the FGDC Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards, Part 4; Standards for A/E/C, and Facility Management.

d. The Surveyor is responsible for ensuring that all recovered or established control points and monuments meet the standards set forth for permanent or semi‐permanent control monuments in USACE EM 1110‐1‐1002, available at:

http://www.publications.usace.army.mil/USACEPublications/EngineerManuals.aspx.

2. Other Features – All other surveys (other than control surveys), shall comply with FGDC Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards, Part 4: Standards for A/E/C, and Facility Management with relative accuracy tolerance of +/‐ 0.10 foot for the horizontal and +/‐ 0.03 foot for the vertical on all other hard surfaces including monitoring well casings and +/‐ 0.10 foot for the vertical on soft or natural ground surfaces (if applicable).

To reduce roundoff error in inverse calculations the Surveyor shall report all control monument coordinates (x, y,

z) to three decimal places and all other coordinates to two decimal places.

For monitoring well elevation surveys RTK GPS cannot be used and differential level loops from the on‐site control monuments/benchmarks turning through the top of the PVC casings and back to the on‐site control monuments/benchmarks is required.

Standards and Deliverable Formats The following standards and delivery formats apply to the tasks listed in this statement of work:

1. Survey Accuracy Standard: FGDC Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards, Part 4: Standards for Architecture, Engineering, Construction (A/E/C), and Facility Management

2. Map Accuracy Standards: ASPRS 2014 Map Accuracy Standards – With equivalent 1990 ASPRS Class 1 map accuracy for the horizontal scale and if applicable contour interval, except that all field surveyed points shall retain their accuracy based on the requirements of the accuracy section of this document.

Survey Methods

1. Control

a. If existing horizontal control monuments are not recovered a minimum of two inter‐visible pairs of control monuments (a minimum of three monuments in total) shall be set utilizing a semi‐ permanent marker (e.g. 30‐inch, #5 re‐bar or larger, or equivalent), set at ground level. The Surveyor shall also perform and document direct conventional Total Station measurements and traverse closure checks between any monuments established using GPS.

b. If existing vertical control monuments (benchmarks) are not recovered, at least two vertical control monuments/benchmarks shall be set utilizing an existing semi‐permanent concrete headwall or foundation, or other concrete structure. If none are available, the Surveyor can use the semi‐permanent horizontal control monuments or establish other semi‐permanent monuments (e.g. 30‐inch, #5 re‐bar or equivalent), set at ground level. The Surveyor shall also perform and document direct differential level loop closure checks between any monuments established using GPS.

c. Control monuments shall be set as close as possible to the site and in a location that will, by observation, maintain stability.

2. Monitoring Well Locations

a. The elevation point for the monitoring wells shall be established at the top of the inner

(plastic/PVC) well casing with the well plastic cap removed. A permanent mark (notch or ink) designating the elevation point shall be established on the plastic monitoring well casing, typically the north side. This elevation shall be collected as a turning point on a level loop from the on‐site control/benchmark turning through the monitoring well casings and back to an on‐ site control monument/benchmark. This reading will require that the cover of the protective steel casing be unlocked and removed.. The cover shall be replaced and locked when the well is not under the direct observation of the Surveyor.

b. Determine the elevation of the ground surface directly adjacent to each monitoring well (not the concrete pad surrounding the well casing). This elevation can be collected as a side shot on level loop and taped difference to inner well casing should be visually cross checked.

c. If allowed by the client/facility, obtain photographs of each well location with the steel casing lid removed or in an open position.

d. Determine the horizontal position (x, y, coordinates) of each monitoring well location.

e. All elevations shall be established using differential leveling techniques. Level loops shall always contain and be verified between two benchmarks. Level loops shall be closed as specified or better and if not shall be re‐ran until the specified closures are met.

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.

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

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

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

(e) “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.

(f) “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, off site disposal, stabilization, solidification)

Site management & remedy maintenance: Experience with site management and maintenance including, but not limited to, protection of human health and the environment, site security, disposal of investigation derived wastes, decommissioning of wells, sampling, and construction support required for ensuring the protection of an existing remedy (i.e. installation of fencing, landfill maintenance and erosion control, provision of warning signs)

3. Technical Reports: Experience with the preparation of RAO/LTM technical reports

(i.e. annual reports, Operation and Maintenance Manuals, site sampling results reports, 5 year review reports) for each site noted above.

(3) Factor 3, Safety:

(i) 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 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 bust be explained in detail, to include root cause and corrective actions.

NOTE: Dart and TCR shall not be submitted for subcontractors

(1) DART Rate: Submit five (5) previous complete calendar years’ [CY2017, CY2018, CY2019, CY2020, and CY2021] 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.

a. 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.

b. 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.

(2) TCR Rate: Submit five (5) previous complete calendar years’ [CY2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021] 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.

a. 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.

b. 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.

(3) Technical Approach for Safety:

a. 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.

b. Describe the evaluation process used to select potential subcontractors.

c. 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).

d. The Technical Approach to Safety narrative shall be limited to two (2) single-sided pages or one (1) double-sided page.

(4) Provide documentation that a safety program is in place that meets the requirements of the most recent US Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM- 385-1-1 and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120, Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response. Information shall not exceed three (3) pages.

(5) 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.

(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 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 negatives trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rating.

(1) DART Rate: The board will evaluate trends over the last five 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.

a. Missing data without an explanation is considered a deficiency.

b. 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.

c. 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.

d. 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

(2) TCR Rate: The board will evaluate trends over the last five 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.

a. Missing data without an explanation is considered a deficiency.

b. 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.

c. 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.

d. 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

(3) Technical Approach to Safety. To determine the degree to which the Offeror:

a. Describes a viable SMS that addresses elements; such as

b. 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.

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

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

e. The Technical Approach to Safety narrative shall be limited to two (2) single-sided pages or one (1) double-sided page. Information on pages beyond this will not be considered.

(4) The Government reserves the right to review other available sources

(public/Governmentinternal) 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.

(4) Factor 4, Past Performance:

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.

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

(1) 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), Attachment J10, 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.

(2) 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.
