1. GENERAL

1.1 GENERAL OVERVIEW OF PROCUREMENT PROCESS

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

The NAICS Code for this procurement is 236220 and the Size Standard is $45,000,000.

This acquisition will be advertised utilizing FAR Part 15 – Contracting by Negotiation resulting in a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Contract for Construction Services.

In accordance with DFARS 236.204(i) the estimated magnitude of construction is between $10,000,000 and

$25,000,000.

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) B14 New Stair/Life Safety/Power Improvements located at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY), in Kittery, Maine.

The project will consist of a total interior renovation of the four story 22,705 square foot historic Building 14, including: hazardous material removal and remediation; modifying or removing and replacing the building’s floors and supporting structure; adding two code compliant internal stairs; adding a building addition to house an elevator, stair and utility support spaces; providing storm windows within original window openings; restoring historic windows; provide lightening protection system; repointing and repairing the historic masonry walls; repairing and repainting historic trim; repairs to historic granite block; repairs and modifications to historic timber framing;

providing offices, a locker room, conference and break rooms, and toilet rooms; and completely overhauling the building’s mechanical, electrical, and fire protection systems. Site improvements include all paving, walks, and utility pads. Utilities include electrical, fire, water, sanitary services, connections, and utility relocations.

2. BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contract; to negotiate with offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contract to the offeror submitting the proposal determined to represent the best value—the proposal most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In addition, if the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

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

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.

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, if held. An Unacceptable rating in any of the non-cost/price factors will result in an overall rating of “Unacceptable” for the non-cost/price factors, unless corrected through discussions, if held. 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 the associated risk to successful contract performance resulting from the Weakness(s). This assessment must provide the rationale for proceeding to award without discussions.

3. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

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

Factor 1 –Experience Factor 2 – Management Approach and Schedule Factor 3 – Safety Factor 4 – Past Performance Factor 5 – Small Business

The distinction between Experience and Past Performance is that Experience pertains to the volume of work completed by a contractor that are comparable to the types of work described under the definition of recent, relevant projects, in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Past Performance pertains to both the relevance of recent efforts and how well a contractor has performed on the contracts.

The relative order of importance of the non-cost/price evaluation factors is the technical factors (Factors, 1, 2, 3, and

5) are of equal importance to each other and, when combined, are equal in importance to the past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment factor (Factor 4). When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and past performance/performance confidence assessment factor (i.e., the non-cost/price evaluation factors), when combined, are approximately equal to price.

The importance of price will increase if the Offerors’ non-cost/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-cost/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.

The SBSP shall be negotiated and/or accepted within the time specified by the Contracting Officer. Failure to negotiate an acceptable subcontracting plan within the time limit prescribed by the Contracting Officer will render the Offeror ineligible for award of the contract. The SBSP will be incorporated into the resulting contract.

NAVFAC’s command-wide small business subcontracting targets are shown below. These may be higher or lower than percentages that would represent realistic, challenging, small business subcontracting goals for this acquisition consistent with efficient and effective performance of the contract. These targets are based on a percentage of total planned subcontract dollars.

(1) Factor 1, 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 as a prime contractor on relevant projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to the RFP. The Government will not consider more than five (5) projects and will review only the first five (5) projects if more are submitted.

For purposes of this evaluation, a relevant project is further defined as:

Similar Size: Projects demonstrating a final construction cost of $10,000,000 or greater.

Similar Scope: Projects demonstrating complete renovation of a multi-story building with a minimum of two (2) stories and/or projects demonstrating a complete renovation of multi-story building additions with a minimum of two (2) stories.

Similar Complexity: In addition to meeting the above Size and Scope, each submitted project does not require demonstrated experience with all of the following elements, but, collectively, experience with all elements must be established throughout the submitted relevant projects.

(a) Experience with interior and exterior renovation of historic brick/granite block buildings in adherence with the Secretary of the Interior’s guidelines for selective demolition and renovation;

(b) Experience with projects in congested urban or industrial areas with limited construction laydown space and restricted access.

(c) Experience with phased projects.

Subcontractor experience will not be considered. Additionally, experience of the offeror while performing as a subcontractor will not be considered.

Projects submitted shall be completed within ten (10) years prior to the date of issuance of the RFP.

A project is defined as a construction project performed under a single task order or contract. For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the contract as a whole shall not be submitted as a project;

rather, Offerors shall submit the work performed under a task order as a project.

The attached Construction Experience Project Data Sheet (Attachment B) 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) pages. Information on additional pages beyond the limit will not be considered when reviewing the project.

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 described above (i.e., unique features, area, construction methods) or the Government may deem the project Not Relevant.

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. If a project was performed by a JV, and not all partners from that JV are on the JV proposed for this contract, the offeror shall clearly demonstrate what portion of the work was performed by the JV member offering on this contract and shall not include work performed by the JV as a whole. The JV member proposed for this contract shall specifically address field work performed by that JV member including field staffing and direct field work oversight. The JV member proposed for this contract shall also address home office management performed by that JV member including the number/percentage of employees provided for the overall contract by the JV members as well as the overall percentage of work performed by the JV member. The Offeror shall also submit a SIGNED copy of the Joint Venture agreement indicating the proposed participation of each Joint Venture member. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.

For a JV, the offeror shall submit the signed JV agreement. For 8(a) Mentor-Protégé Joint Ventures, the offeror shall submit the signed and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) approved Mentor-Protégé agreement. For offerors who are a Joint Venture, an offeror’s proposal may be considered ineligible for award if this information is not provided.

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 information on the Project Data Sheet shall clearly demonstrate that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent firm will have meaningful involvement in the performance of this contract in order for the past performance information of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies to be considered. The proposal shall state specific commitments of technical resources (e.g. personnel, equipment) that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies commit to the performance of this contract. In particular, the proposal will clearly state the specific commitments of resources of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member that will be located at the worksites and company offices in the city/area of the project. The proposal shall also describe specific roles of the affiliate/subsidiary/ parent/LLC/LTD member companies in terms of the work it will either self-perform or manage on behalf of the offeror in performance of the contract. Failure to submit this information may result in the affiliate/subsidiary/parent’s experience not being considered, which may result in a lower rating. As noted above, the Offeror MAY NOT utilize experience of a subcontractor to demonstrate construction experience under this evaluation factor.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation:

The basis of evaluation will include the Offeror’s demonstrated experience in performing relevant construction projects as defined in the solicitation submittal requirements. The assessment of the offeror’s relevant experience will be used as a means of evaluating the capability of the offeror to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP.

The Government will only review five (5) projects total. Any projects submitted in excess of the five (5) for Construction Experience will not be considered.

A Deficiency will be assigned to any Offeror that does not meet the minimum requirements of at least two (2) relevant projects as defined above and, as such, will receive a rating of UNACCEPTABLE. An Offeror with an UNACCEPTABLE rating in any Factor will not be eligible for award.

For proposals submitted by a JV, proposals that do not demonstrate relevant project experience for each JV partner may be considered less favorably.

Offerors that demonstrate all required complexity elements in a single project may be considered more favorably.

(2) Factor 2, Management Approach & Schedule

Offerors must submit the following documentation, as detailed throughout this Factor, to describe your approach to managing the project, risk, and ensuring adherence to the project schedule:

1) Management Approach

2) Critical Path Schedule

The schedule shall demonstrate an understanding of the work to include the base CLIN and all options, a logical sequence of events to accomplish the work, and contain enough information to identify all of the major milestones, as defined in the phasing plans of the RFP.

The schedule shall be based on a contract award date of AUGUST 2024. This is for proposal purposes only and not dispositive of an anticipated/planned award date.

If an Offeror proposes a realistic and feasible schedule that is shorter than the required duration and is selected for award, that schedule and duration will be incorporated into the award document and replace the advertised required duration.

A Deficiency will be assigned to any Offeror whose schedule proposes a contract duration longer than indicated in the RFP which will result a rating of UNACCEPTABLE.

Offeror shall provide a critical path method (CPM) schedule for execution and completion of the work to achieve the required interim and final completion milestones for the project. At a minimum, the CPM schedule shall address the following:

- Identify major activities and milestones

- Provide sequencing (precedence/succession) of critical activities

- Demonstrate knowledge of project regulatory constraints

- Sufficiently detailed to identify critical and near critical activities

NOTE: The Offeror’s proposal must AT LEAST comply with the required contract duration indicated in this RFP. If the Offeror’s proposal provides a shorter duration than specified in the RFP, if selected for award, the proposed duration may be incorporated into the resultant contract at the Government’s discretion. Offerors who propose durations longer than the RFP will be rated as UNACCEPTABLE. As noted above, an Offeror with an UNACCEPTABLE rating in any Factor will not be eligible for award.

Offerors will be evaluated on the extent to which they demonstrate a clear understanding of the above solicitation submittal requirements for this factor. A management approach narrative work plan and schedule that do not address all items listed above may be rated as UNACCEPTABLE.

1. Management Approach - An Offeror’s narrative work plan that clearly addresses major elements of work and project risks and provides a comprehensive contingency plan that addresses mitigation of any identified risks with potential solutions may be considered more favorably than those that do not.

2. Schedule -. A project schedule that demonstrates a realistic and feasible contract duration shorter than the required duration indicated in the RFP may be considered more favorable, and if the offeror is selected for award, that schedule and duration will be incorporated into the award document and replace the advertised required duration. A Deficiency will be assigned to any Offeror whose schedule proposes a contract duration longer than indicated in the RFP which will result in a rating of UNACCEPTABLE.

(3) Factor 3, 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 and TCR for the specified five (5) CY for each contractor who is part of the partnership or 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’ [CY2023, CY2022, CY2021, CY2020, and CY2019] 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.

𝑫𝑨𝑹𝑻 𝑹𝑨𝑻𝑬 =

Number of DART Incidents x 200,000

Total Number of Enployee Labor Hours Worked

(2) TCR: Submit five (5) previous complete calendar years’ [CY2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019] worth of data (not an overall average). If the Offeror has no TCR, 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.

𝑻𝑪𝑹 𝑹𝑨𝑻𝑬 =

Number of TCR Incidents x 200,000

Total Number of Enployee Labor Hours Worked

(3) Technical Approach for Safety: The offeror must 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 the performance of the contract (to include their own in-house workforce).

d. The Technical Approach to Safety narrative shall be limited to two (2) pages.

(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.

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 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) could 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: 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) could indicate a Strength.

c. An increasing TCR 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 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 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. Describes a methodical process of evaluating subcontractor’s safety performance in the subcontractor 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) pages. Information on pages beyond this will not be considered.

(4) Factor 4, Past Performance

Recent, relevant projects are determined within the requirements for Factor 1, Experience.

If a completed Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluation is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal for each project included in Factor 1 for Experience. If there is not a completed CPARS evaluation, then submit Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) (Attachment C) for each project included in Factor 1 for Experience. The Offeror should provide completed PPQs in the proposal. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the Offeror shall complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). The Government may make reasonable attempts to contact the client noted for that project(s) to obtain the PPQ information. However, Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to help ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, Sarah Lorkiewicz, sarah.m.lorkiewicz.civ@us.navy.mil

Offerors are highly encouraged to provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on projects submitted under Factor 1 – Experience. Offerors are also highly encouraged to address any adverse past performance issues. Explanations shall not exceed four (4) pages in total.

Sources of Past Performance Information for evaluation that may be used are as follows:

- Past performance information provided by the offeror pursuant to these solicitation submittal requirements;

- Past performance information obtained from questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of the acquisition; and

- Past performance information obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to CPARS, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; the Defense Contract Management Agency;

and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials.

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.

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

A copy of the blank Past Performance Questionnaire to be used for requesting client references is included as Attachment C. Performance award or additional information submitted will not be considered.

This evaluation will consider how well the Offeror performed on relevant projects submitted under Factor 1 – Experience and may also consider relevant past performance on other projects currently documented in known sources.

The degree to which past performance evaluations and all other past performance information reviewed by the Government (e.g., CPARS, 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.); and

- Recency of tasks performed that are identical to, similar to, or related to the task at hand

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

Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will receive a NEUTRAL Confidence rating. Past performance ratings of “Substantial Confidence” or “Satisfactory Confidence” hold more value than a “Neutral Confidence” rating and will be considered more favorably in the evaluation of past performance.

(5) Factor 5, 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 Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone Small Business (HUBZone SB), 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 the level of commitment to small business if awarded a contract under this solicitation.

1. All Offerors (large, non-profits, AND small businesses) shall use Attachment D (Historical Small

Business Utilization) to demonstrate their historical utilization of SBs. Each project submitted under Factor 1, Experience, shall be included on Attachment D.
