1. GENERAL

1.1 GENERAL OVERVIEW OF PROCUREMENT PROCESS

1.1.1 This solicitation is being issues as UNRESTRICTED FOR FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION.

1.1.2 The NAICS Code for this procurement is 236220 and the Size Standard is $39.5M.

1.1.3 This acquisition will be advertised utilizing FAR Part 15 – Contracting by Negotiation resulting in a Firm-

Fixed Price (FFP) Contract for Construction Services.

1.1.4 In accordance with DFARS 236.204, the estimated magnitude of construction is between $25,000,000 and

$100,000,000

1.2 GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE CONTRACT

The general intent of this solicitation is to award a Fixed Price Construction Contract for design-bid-build (DBB) Dry Dock 2 Complex, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kittery, ME.

This project consists of multiple enclosures totaling approximately 23,100 SF to be fabricated and installed at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, ME. A 21,500 SF permanently installed enclosure consists of two towers, storage areas, railcar access, multiple high and low bay work areas, three bridge cranes, movable roofs, access control and all associated HVAC, mechanical, electrical, alarm, controls and communication systems. A 1,600 SF modular relocatable enclosure consists of two support towers supporting two enclosure components with a tower, a bridge crane, movable roofs and all associated mechanical, electrical, alarm, controls and communication systems and elevated access passageways. The enclosures require clean room finishes and HEPA HVFAC filters in most areas. Additional scope includes new utility capacity and infrastructure, modification to existing utilities and modifications to existing enclosure HVAC, electrical, alarm, controls and communication systems.

2. BASIS FOR AWARD

1. 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 proposal determined to represent the best value—the proposal most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

2. 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.

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

4. As stated in the solicitation, 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.

5. 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/or Significant Weaknesses and the associated risk to successful contract performance . This assessment must provide the rationale for proceeding to award without discussions.

3. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

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

Factor 1 – Corporate Experience Factor 2 – Crane Procurement and Installation Subfactor 2.A – Specialized Experience Subfactor 2.B – Quality Control Factor 3 – Management Approach and Schedule Factor 4 – Small Business Utilization Factor 5 – Safety Factor 6 – Past Performance

The distinction between Corporate Experience and Past Performance is that Corporate 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.

2. The relative order of importance of the non-price evaluation factors are the technical factors (Factors, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) are of equal importance to each other respectively (with subfactors equal to one another within their respective factor) and, when combined, are equal in importance to the past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment factor (Factor 6). When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and past performance/performance confidence assessment factor combined (i.e., the non-price evaluation factors) are approximately equal to price.

The importance of price will increase if the Offerors’ non-price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non-price proposal’s superiority to the Government. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered.

3. Basis of Evaluation and Submittal Requirements for Each Factor:

a. Price:

This information forms the basis of your firm’s responsibility determination should your firm be considered for award. Proposal packages from unsuccessful offerors will not be returned to the offeror, but shall be destroyed by the Contracting Officer. No certificate of destruction will be issued.

(2) Basis of Evaluation: The Government will evaluate price based on the total price. Total price consists of the basic requirements, any planned modifications, all option items (see attached Price Proposal Form).

The Government intends to evaluate all options and has included the provision FAR 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options (JUL 1990) in Section 00600 of the solicitation. In accordance with FAR 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). Analysis will be performed by one or more of the following techniques to ensure a fair and reasonable price:

(a) Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the RFP.

(b) Comparison of proposed prices with the IGCE.

(c) Comparison of proposed prices with available historical information.

(d) Comparison of market survey results.

b. Non-price Factors:

Non-price binder: The offeror shall submit electronically (and mark Original) in accordance with the instructions below. For the hard copy, the offeror shall submit one (1) copy, marked “Copy” in a three ring binder with the following:

• Cover page with Solicitation Number, Solicitation Title, Prime Contractor Name, Address, Phone Number, Fax Number, DUNS, CAGE Code, Point of Contact, Phone Number, and Email Address;

• 8 ½ x 11 paper, 12-point font;

• Refer to individual factors for page limitations. Pages that exceed indicated page limitations shall not be evaluated;

• Additionally, include an electronic version of the price and non-price proposal on one

CD-ROM.

As with the price proposal, in the event of a discrepancy between the original and hard copies (or CD-ROM), the electronic version of the proposal will govern. Furthermore, any price information within the technical proposal (non-price proposal) will not be considered.

Likewise, any technical/non-price information within the price proposal will not be considered.

Electronic submission of proposals will be required in accordance with the following:

Contractors shall send their Electronic Proposal submission to John Bishop at john.p.bishop1@navy.mil through the DOD Safe Site (safe.apps.mil). Further guidance is provided below for submission of hard copy submissions.

The contractor shall send the contract specialist, John Bishop, the contractor’s email address who will be receiving the Drop-Off invitation to upload proposals to the DOD Safe Site no later than 5 May 2021 by 1400, unless that date and time are changed via Solicitation Amendment.

The Government will not consider information submitted beyond the page limits set forth below.

(1) Factor 1 – Corporate Experience:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

The Offeror shall submit the following information:

Submit a minimum of two (2) up to a maximum of five (5) relevant 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 the purposes of this evaluation, a relevant project is further defined as:

Size: A final construction cost of $7.5 million or greater.

Scope: Construction of industrial facilities, renovation of industrial facilities, or repair of industrial facilities.

Complexity: In addition to meeting the above Size and Scope, each project submitted does not require demonstrated experience with all of the following components, but, collectively, they must demonstrate experience with all the following Complexity elements throughout the submitted relevant projects. Furthermore, each relevant project (meeting Size and Scope as required above) must meet at least one of the elements of Complexity.

(a) Complex structural steel fabrication, including modular structural components requiring repeated assembly and disassembly.

(b) Mechanical systems similar to the scope of this project, including the ventilation, duct work and all associated controls, testing and commissioning.

(c) Projects completed in congested urban or industrial areas with limited construction laydown space

Projects submitted for the offeror shall be completed within the past fifteen (15) years of the date of issuance of this RFP with the date clearly indicated on the Construction Experience Project Data Sheet, or the Government may deem the project Not Relevant.

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 C) 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 nor will the Government consider information submitted via any other medium.

Individual blocks on this form may be expanded; however, total length for each project data sheet shall not exceed two (2) double-sided pages (or four (4) 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) as defined above by Size, Scope, and Complexity.

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 who fail to submit experience for all Joint Venture members may be rated lower.

Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined. Offerors may submit experience where a member of the JV performed as a JV with another entity. Likewise, offerors that are not submitting as a JV may submit a project where it performed as a JV with another entity. In either case, for projects submitted where a member of the JV performed as a JV with another entity or an offeror not submitting as a JV performed as a JV with another entity, the offeror must clearly describe the work it performed on that project and how it meets the above requirements.

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. However, the offeror must submit at least one relevant project completed as prime contractor in a congested urban or industrial area with limited construction laydown space. The Offeror must provide a letter of commitment signed by both parties and an explanation of the meaningful involvement that the subcontractor will have in performance of this contract. Post-award substitution of subcontractor(s) shall be avoided to the maximum extent possible, and any proposed substitutions shall have verifiable, equivalent experience to the subcontractor being replaced and are subject to the approval of the Contracting Officer. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation:

The basis of evaluation will include the offeror’s demonstrated experience and depth of experience in performing relevant construction as defined in the above 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 (5) projects total, including any projects submitted to evidence the relevant experience of a subcontractor(s). Any projects submitted in excess of the first five (5) for Construction Experience will not be considered.

Offerors who demonstrate experience on relevant projects performed pursuant to a contract with the United States Government may be considered more favorably than offerors who do not.

Offerors who demonstrate experience as the prime contractor on major or critical aspects of the requirement may be considered more favorably than offerors who submit the experience of a subcontractor who performed this work.

(2) Factor 2 – Crane Procurement and Installation

If not performed by the prime subcontractor, for the proposed subcontractor providing the procurement and installation of the crane, the offeror must submit the following: Subcontractor Name, Address, Phone Number, Fax Number, DUNS, Cage Code, Point of Contact, Phone Number, and Email Address.

Factor 2 consists of two Subfactors, 2.A – Specialized Experience and 2.B, Quality Control. The evaluation of Subfactors 2.A and 2.B are of equal importance in determining the rating for Factor 2.

Subfactor 2.A – Specialized Experience:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

The offeror shall submit the following information for the offeror or subcontractor performing the crane work:

Submit a complete list of all overhead crane projects. From the list of completed projects, submit detailed narrative/information for a minimum of one (1) and up to a maximum of three (3) overhead crane projects demonstrating specific experience with relevant cranes that were completed with relevancy defined below. The information shall include specific customer point of contact information (name and phone number) for each detailed project. A relevant crane for this detailed evaluation is considered to have all of the following characteristics:

(a) A rated capacity of 5-10 tons, a span of 25 to 60 feet;

(b) Special design features similar to those required for nuclear fuel handling under ASME

NOG-1, ordnance handling or hot metals handling under ASME B30.2.

The narrative information provided for each relevant project should not exceed two (2) pages and must include information regarding the crane project’s Scope and Complexity.

• Scope is a description of the overall project details such as site investigation requirements, refining crane operational parameters, design and engineering efforts related to the crane, fabrication information, and the planning and execution of installation and crane commissioning.

• Complexity shall include a brief description of the crane physical data (crane capacity, bridge span, hook height and crane type), contract information (award date, completion date, award cost, final cost), capabilities, and any unique features. These project descriptions shall demonstrate the offeror's ability to perform all of the following: site survey/investigation, design, fabrication, equipment electrification, assembly, crane installation, crane testing, and operational training.

It is the offeror's responsibility to choose projects which best demonstrate the ability to perform the specification requirements. In addition to the two (2) page write up, a general arrangement drawing of each detailed crane project must be included to illustrate the crane in plan view, elevation and end view.

Projects submitted for offeror or subcontractor performing the crane work shall be completed within the past six (6) years of the date of issuance of this RFP.

The offeror must provide a letter of commitment signed by both parties and an explanation of the meaningful involvement that the crane subcontractor will have in the performance of this contract. Post-award substitution of subcontractor shall be avoided to the maximum extent possible, and any proposed substitutions shall have verifiable, equivalent experience to the subcontractor being replaced and are subject to the approval of the Contracting Officer.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation:

The Government will evaluate each offeror’s or proposed crane subcontractor’s specialized work experience to determine if the proposed entity has the necessary capability, which is demonstrated by accomplishing at least one

(1) project similar in Scope and Complexity (as defined above in Factor 2). The evaluation will consider the quantity and currency of relevant projects. The standard has been met when the offeror provides relevant crane experience with regards to crane design, fabrication, assembly, and testing. For the entity performing the crane work, the proposal must include at least one crane supplier (prime contractor or crane subcontractor) that has the necessary capability as defined above, and only the crane supplier identified and evaluated in the proposal may be used to supply the crane.

Subfactor 2.B – Quality Control:

The offeror shall submit the following information for the entity performing the crane work:

Submit a one (1) page (maximum length) written description of the internal quality control and quality assurance systems for the crane fabrication and installation for the entity performing the crane work. Description should include the processes used to maintain quality control during fabrication including roles of personnel involved and procedures implemented. Include how the quality assurance organization monitors fabrication efforts and its communication chain with reporting requirements to higher levels of management. Describe how quality assurance of subcontractors and vendors is accomplished and documented. Describe the quality control and quality assurance processes and how they will be utilized for this project to ensure the delivered cranes meet the specified requirements. In addition to the one page description, submit the following:

(a) Submit a list of corporate QC procedures utilized during crane fabrication. List is limited to one (1) page.

(b) Submit a list of recent third party audits. Findings results from the audit shall be included.

List is limited to one (1) page.

(c) Submit any external certification or accreditations. List is limited to one (1) page.

(d) Submit a quality control organizational chart reflecting the entity’s interaction with other departments and should only reflect position titles. The chart should clearly depict the lines of oversight and reporting. The chart is limited to one (1) page.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation:

The Government will evaluate the Quality Control and Quality Assurance Systems for crane fabrication and installation for the offeror or subcontractor performing the crane work. A satisfactory system will confirm the system is based on adequate documented procedures and processes; QA operations are conducted independent from lower level production oversight; the QC program is effectively being implemented during critical project processes;

and the program indicates a separation of quality control vice quality assurance verifications. For the entity performing the crane work, the proposal must include at least one crane supplier that has the necessary capability as defined above, and only the crane supplier identified and evaluated in the proposal may be used to supply the crane.

(3) Factor 3 – Management Approach and Schedule:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

Provide a Narrative Work Plan and a Project Schedule in CPM format to describe your approach to managing the subject project to ensure adherence to schedule and construction sequencing as required in the RFP. The Narrative shall not exceed five (5) double-sided (or ten (10) single-sided) 8-1/2” x 11” pages. Provide the CPM format Project Schedule source file, a PDF file, and the Summary Level, and Critical Path Schedule, documenting any multiple Critical Paths in 11” x 17” pages, there is no page limit on the Summary Level, Critical Path and entire CPM schedule.

The Narrative work plan shall address major elements of work and demonstrate understanding of the scope, major milestones, technical complexities, and the sequenced construction schedule needed to maintain operational use of the dry dock as identified in the solicitation. Identify activities that may affect the project timeline, including other/off site work activities.

Provide a detailed construction schedule that illustrates your ability to achieve or improve on the requirements of the RFP while keeping within the RFP’s requirements. Identify the overall completion time for this project in accordance with the RFP as well as interim completion times (including each phase of work as identified in the RFP) and key milestones for sequences as required to complete the construction. The schedule should demonstrate an understanding of the work and a logical sequence of events to accomplish the scope of work as defined in the RFP. The schedule shall be submitted on 11" x 17" paper and shall contain enough information to identify all the major milestones. NOTE: Your proposal must AT LEAST comply with the required contract duration indicated in this RFP. If your proposal provides a shorter duration than specified in the RFP, the proposed duration will be incorporated into the resultant contract. Offerors who propose durations longer than the RFP will be rated as

UNACCEPTABLE.

The schedule shall be based on Notice to Proceed (NTP) date of 01 July 2021.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation:

The offeror will be evaluated to determine the level of understanding of the requirements of the RFP. Proposals that identify areas of risk in logistics and resource management, and provide a comprehensive contingency plan that addresses the risks, may be rated higher. A schedule that does not address all items listed above may be rated as

UNACCEPTABLE.

Offerors who address risks in resource management through the proposed use of key personnel with demonstrated experience on relevant projects contracted with the United States Government may be rated higher.

(4) Factor 4, Small Business Utilization and Participation

It is the policy of the Government to provide maximum practicable opportunities in its acquisitions to Small Business (SB) concerns, including Historically Underutilized Business Zone Small Business (HUBZone SB), Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and other small business concerns. Further, it is the policy of the Government that such concerns will have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in contract performance consistent with its efficient performance.

This Factor assesses both the historical achievements in utilizing small business concerns and the proposed small business participation commitment for this requirement. The Offeror is required to demonstrate its previous commitment to SBs through its record of past utilization of SBs and its planned level of commitment to small business if awarded a contract under this solicitation.

1. All Offerors (both Other than Small Businesses (OTSB) AND SBs) shall use Attachment D (Historical Small Business Utilization) to demonstrate their historical utilization of SBs. Attachment D shall be provided for each project submitted under Factor 1, Corporate Experience. Failure to submit Attachment D for each project submitted under Factor 1, Corporate Experience, or the failure to fully complete Attachment D may result in a deficiency.

2. All Offerors (both OTSBs and SBs) shall use Attachment E (Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SPCD)) to submit the following required information for evaluation of this factor:

To demonstrate commitment to use small business concerns in the performance of this contract, identify all planned subcontractors by name that will be used to support each specific small business category (i.e., SB, HUBZone SB, WOSB, SDB, VOSB, and SDVOSB). To the extent feasible, identify the type and complexity of product/service to be subcontracted, the estimated subcontract value, and the type of commitment (i.e., teaming agreement, letter of commitment, etc.) with each subcontractor.

To demonstrate maximum practicable participation of small businesses, identify (in terms of dollar value and percentage of the total contract value) the Offeror’s proposed small business participation. The minimum required small business participation (i.e. work to be performed by small business as the prime contractor and/or work to be performed by small business subcontractors) is 20%. All Offerors who are not able to meet the minimum total small business participation rate of 20% (of the total contract value) shall provide a detailed explanation why the minimum total small business participation rate cannot be achieved.

Large business Offerors may achieve the minimum total small business participation rate through subcontracting to small businesses.

Small business Offerors may achieve the minimum total small business participation rate through their own performance/participation as a prime and also through a joint venture, teaming arrangement, and/or subcontracting with other small business concerns.

Offerors are encouraged to exceed this percentage and seek meaningful levels of participation in each of the small business categories (i.e., SB, HUBZone SB, WOSB, SDB, VOSB, and SDVOSB) consistent with efficient contract performance. Offerors are required to provide a detailed explanation for the methods used to develop the small business participation rates.

Offerors simply proposing a 20% total small business participation rate without describing the methods used may be rated lower.

If the Offeror does not intend to subcontract, provide a detailed explanation why subcontracting would not result in efficient contract performance.

Attachment D – Historical Small Business Utilization Attachment E – Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SPCD)

The Government will evaluate the realism and likelihood of success in achieving the small business objectives of this acquisition based on the following:

• The extent to which the Offeror is able to demonstrate a history of supporting Government policies concerning the utilization of small business concerns (including all of the various socioeconomic categories of small business, HUBZone SB, WOSB, SDB, VOSB, SDVOSB) and the success in achieving goals established by subcontracting plans on prior contracts.

• The extent to which the Offeror has demonstrated an achievable commitment to use small businesses (including HUBZone SB, WOSB, SDB, VOSB, SDVOSB) in the performance of this contract in the SBPCD. The SBPCD will be evaluated to determine the extent to which small business concerns are specifically identified by name and socioeconomic category in the document and the quantitative degree to which small business concerns (including HUBZone, WOSB, SDB, VOSB, and SDVOSB) will participate relative to the total contract value. The complexity and variety of the work small business concerns will perform and the degree of commitment to use named sources through formal teaming agreements, letters of intent/commitment will be evaluated to assess achievability of the commitment. This minimum small business participation rate, through work performed by the small business prime and/or subcontracting with small businesses, shall exceed 20% of the total contract value, unless the Offeror provides a reasonable and well-documented explanation for why 20% small business participation rate cannot be achieved.

(5) Factor 5, Safety

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

1. DART Rate: Submit five (5) previous complete calendar years’ [CY2016, CY2017, CY2018, CY2019, and CY2020] worth of data (not an overall average). If the Offeror has no DART rate, for any year, the Offeror must 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’ [CY2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020] worth of data (not an overall average). If the Offeror has no TCR rate, for any year, the Offeror must 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 to Safety: Submit a narrative that addresses the following:

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. 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.

(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 negative 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 adequate 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) might 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 Risk.

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 adequate 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) might 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 Risk.

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

a. 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.

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

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

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

4. 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.

(6) Factor 6 – Past Performance:

The offeror shall submit the following information:

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) 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, Corporate Experience. 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 (Attachment B), 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, Mr. John Bishop, via email at john.p.bishop1@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.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance.
