6. FEDERAL CONTRACTOR PROGRAM

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 22.1303, any contractor or subcontractor with a contract of $150,000 or more with the Federal Government must take affirmative action to hire and promote qualified covered veterans which includes, disabled veterans, recently separated veterans, active duty veterans, wartime or campaign badge veterans, or armed forces service medal veterans.

Companies must file an annual VETS-4212 report, which shows the number of qualified covered veterans in their work force by job category, hiring location, and number of new hires, including qualified covered veterans hired during the reporting period and the maximum number and minimum number of employees of such contractor during the period covered by the report. Instructions, information and follow-up assistance is provided at VETS-4212 Internet site at https://www.dol.gov/vets/vets4212.htm or employers may contact the VETS-4212 office at (866) 237-0275 or e-mail at VETS4212-customersupport@dol.gov. A contract cannot be awarded to a contractor that has not submitted a required annual form VETS-4212, Federal Contractor Veterans’ Employment Report (VETS-4212 Report) if subject to the reporting requirements of 38 U.S.C. 4212(d) for that fiscal year.

7. INCURRED EXPENSES

The Government is not responsible for any costs incurred or associated with preparation and submission of a proposal in response to this solicitation.

8. PROJECT PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS

Phase Two of this solicitation will include plans and specifications for the seed project only. No plans and specifications will be included in the basic MACC’s. Each task order request for proposal will be issued with its own plans and specifications specific to that project.

9. PENALTY FOR FALSE STATEMENTS:

Proposals must be set forth full, accurate, and complete information as required by this request for proposal (including attachments). The penalty for making false statements in proposals is prescribed n 18 U.S.C. 1001.

10. INTENT TO AWARD WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS:

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award without discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the best terms from a technical and price standpoint. Offerors should not assume that they would be contacted or afforded an opportunity to qualify, discuss, or revise their proposals. Offerors are cautioned that a proposal containing qualifications, conditions, or expressing unilateral interpretations of the RFP/contract requirements may be rejected and the Offeror excluded from the potential competitive range. Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of the established criteria and award will be made to the Offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government.

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

A. 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 contracts; to negotiate with Offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contracts to the Offerors submitting the proposals determined to represent the best value—the proposals most advantageous to the Government, cost/price and other factors considered.

2. 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 its best interest to allow consideration of award to other than the lowest priced Offeror or other than the highest technically rated Offeror.

4. 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 shall 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.

6. Evaluation methods for subsequent MACC projects will be delineated in future respective Task Order RFPs. The Government makes no representation as to the number of task orders or the actual amount of work to be ordered. Contract awardees are not guaranteed work in excess of the minimum guarantee. Subsequent Task Order evaluation methods may include price only task orders up to $25M, low price technically acceptable (LPTA), or Best Value-Trade off selection procedures. Each contract awardee shall be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each Task Order award, except under those circumstances described in FAR 16.505(b)(2), additionally, if two or more small businesses are awarded a contract, the Contracting Officer may set aside projects with a Government Estimate value under $1,000,000 strictly to small businesses.

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

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

Phase I:

Factor 1 - Technical Approach Factor 2 - Experience Factor 3 - Past Performance

Phase II:

Factor 4 - Safety Factor 5 - Technical Solution Factor 6 - Small Business

The distinction between experience and past performance is 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.

Note 1: A narrative, limited to one double-sided page on 8-1/2” by 11” paper (or two single-sided pages), shall be submitted under Factor 2, Experience, as further discussed below:

“Offeror” refers to the entity submitting the proposal, as determined by the name, address, Entity Identifier Number (EIN), and Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code that appears in Block 14 of the SF 1442 for construction solicitations. If the Offeror's proposal presents the experience, past performance, or safety data of any entity with an EIN or CAGE code that differs from that in the SF 1442, the information will not be considered unless the Offeror establishes a basis for imputing the other entity's data to the Offeror. The Government will not assume or independently investigate the existence and nature of a relationship between the Offeror and any other entity that has a different EIN and CAGE code.

The Offeror must clearly explain why another entity's experience, past performance, or safety record is relevant to or indicative of the Offeror's ability to perform this contract. A mere statement describing a corporate affiliation is insufficient; the Offeror must also establish how the connection or nexus between it and the other entity relates to the Offeror's qualifications. An Offeror's failure to adequately justify a basis for crediting it with another entity's experience, past performance, or safety data could result in a deficiency, thereby making the Offeror ineligible for award without discussions.

Note 2: While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate, and complete technical approach, experience, past performance, technical solution, safety, and small business information rests with the Offeror.

Note 3: The non-price proposal shall be separate from the price proposal. See the solicitation, Section 00100, Instructions to Offerors, Paragraph 2, for additional instructions, format, and submission quantities required for the proposal.

Note 4: The page limitation for each factor/sub factor is provided in the submission requirements for each factor found later in this section. Page limitations will be strictly enforced. Any pages submitted in excess of the page limitations will not be reviewed and any data or material they contain will not be considered. Specific submission items which are excluded from the page count are listed in each factor later in this section.

Note 5: Projects submitted for Factor 2, Experience, shall be the same projects submitted for Factor 3, Past Performance.

Note 6: Failure to meet solicitation submittal requirements may result in a lower rating.

8. For this Two-Phase DB procurement, Factors 1-3 will be evaluated in Phase I and Factors 4-6 will be evaluated in Phase II. Factor 1 will only be rated Acceptable or Unacceptable. If an Offeror is rated

Unacceptable in Factor 1, then they will not be considered for Phase II. In making the best value award decision after Phase II, the Government will consider Factors 2-6 and price. The relative order of importance of the non-price evaluation factors is the technical Factors 2, 4,5, and 6 are approximately equal to each other and, when combined, are equal in importance to the past performance confidence assessment Factor 3. When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and past performance confidence assessment factor combined (i.e., the non-price evaluation factors) are approximately equal to price.

Phase II proposals may be submitted by the Offerors who receive written notification via a letter from the Contracting Officer that their firm has been selected to participate in Phase II of this RFP. Unsuccessful Offerors will receive written notification via a letter from the Contracting Officer that its firm has not been selected to participate in Phase II of this RFP.

The importance of price will increase if the Offeror’s 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(s) whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered.

9. Submittal Requirements and Basis of Evaluation for Each Factor.

a Price:

(1) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

The Offeror’s price proposal shall be separate from the technical proposal. Complete and submit the following:

(A) Cover letter in accordance with FAR 52.215-1(c)(2), including Entity Identification number.

(B) SF 1442, Solicitation, Offer, and Award Blocks 14 through 20c.

(C) Seed Project, Task Order N44255-18-R-5004/X001, SF 1442 Blocks 14 through 20c.

(D) Bid Bond in the amount of 20% of the Seed Project (Task Order N44255-18-R- 5004/X001).

(E) Letter from the Offeror’s surety. The letter should verify the Offeror has a minimum of $20,000,000 bonding capacity per project and provide the Offeror’s aggregate maximum bonding capacity.

(F) Ensure the Offeror’s Representations and Certifications, including the supplemental certifications included in Section 00600, are current and posted in the System for Award Management (SAM).

(G) Completed Proposed Change Order Markup Rates (Attachment D) :

(i) Offeror’s shall enter the total proposed price of the Seed Project CLIN 0001 on Line 1.

(ii) Offeror’s shall enter the proposed overhead rate on subcontractors Line 7 as a percentage.

(iii) Offeror’s shall enter the proposed prime contractor home office overhead rate Line 9 as a percentage.

(iv) Methods:

(a) NAVFAC Alternate Method - NAVFAC Alternate Method which has pre-established rates of 5% for overhead on subcontractor’s and 3% for Home Office Overhead (HOOH). Usage of the Method will result in all task order modifications having a 10% for labor, material and equipment estimates in lieu of field overhead.

(b) Normal Method Prime HOOH - The normal method for determining Prime HOOH rates is based on using actual cost data. If you choose to use this method for determining Prime HOOH you will need to provide your firm’s current Defense Contract Audit Agency audit report (no more than three years old) or the firms previous three years of expenses utilizing the HOOH Accounting Data Spreadsheet (Attachment E.) Submit normal rates for proposed subcontractor overhead rates.

(2) Basis of Evaluation of Total Price:

(A) Total price consists of the price of the Seed Project, Task Order N44255-18-R-5004/X001 CLIN 0001, and the Change Order Markup Rates (Attachment D).

(i) All Offerors shall note that the awarded price of the seed project will be in the total proposed price of CLIN 0001, this price will not include the pricing of the Change Order Markup Rates.

(ii) All Offeror’s shall note the proposed rates for Home Office Overhead (HOOH) and Subcontractors Overhead will be included in the basic contract award for use on future task order modifications.

(iii) All Offeror’s shall note firms will not be allowed to propose new HOOH or subcontractor overhead rates on task orders for actions under the Certified Cost and Pricing Data threshold (In accordance FAR 15.403-4, see current deviation 2018-O0015, the deviation is currently in effect until incorporated into the FAR or otherwise rescinded.) All other allowable markup rates (e.g. Field Office Overhead and profit) will be negotiated with change orders at the task order level unless the NAVFAC Alternate Method was chosen. If the NAVFAC alternate method was chosen then the pre-established rates of 5% for overhead on subcontractor’s and 3% for HOOH and10% for labor, material and equipment estimates in lieu of field overhead will apply.

(iv) All Offeror’s shall note the Change Order markup rates will become part of the successful Offeror’s resultant contract and will be applied to the direct costs price of contract modifications that do not exceed the certified cost and pricing data threshold. Any modification exceeding the certified cost and pricing data threshold will be negotiated in accordance with contract cost principles and procedures as outlined in FAR Part 31 and DFARS Part 231.

(B) Bid Bond. The Bid Bond will be evaluated for accuracy and completeness in accordance with FAR 28.101. See Attachment F, Bid Bond Review Checklist.

(C) Letter from the Offeror’s surety. The letter from the bonding company will be evaluated to assess the risk of the Offeror listed in Block 14 of the SF1442 being able to provide sufficient bonding for both individual and multiple task orders during the life of this contract.

(D) Evaluation of the price proposal will determine the reasonableness and completeness of the Offeror’s proposal.

(E) Evaluation will determine the Offeror’s comprehension of the requirements of the solicitation as well as to assess the degree to which the proposed price accurately reflects proposed performance.

(F) A price found to be unreasonably high in relation to the proposed work may negatively impact the Offeror’s ranking.

(G) Representations and Certifications will be reviewed in the SAM to ensure they are complete.

(H) In accordance with FAR 15.404-1, Proposal Analysis Techniques, analysis will be performed by one or more of the following techniques to ensure a fair and reasonable price for

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

(b) Comparison of proposed prices with the IGCE.

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

(d) Comparison of market survey results.

(ii) Change Order Markup Rates will be evaluated based on:

(a) Comparison of proposed markups received in response to the solicitation.

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

Congruence between the technical and price proposals shall also be utilized to determine the reasonableness of the proposed price as well as potential performance risk.

b Non-price Factors:

(1) Factor 1, Technical Approach:

This factor will be rated on an Acceptable or Unacceptable basis.

(2) Factor 2, Experience:

(A) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

The Offeror shall submit the following information:

(i) Construction Experience:

Submit a maximum of five relevant construction projects for the Offeror that best demonstrates your experience on relevant projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to the solicitation. For purposes of this evaluation, a relevant construction project is further defined as:

Projects submitted for the Offeror shall be completed (Beneficial Occupancy Date occurred) within the past seven years of the date of issuance of this solicitation.

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 use of the attached Construction & Design Experience Project Data Sheet (Attachment B) is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information. If the same project is being used to demonstrate construction and design experience, submit separate Project Data Sheets for construction and design. Except as specifically requested, the Government will not consider information submitted in addition to this form.

Offerors who fail to submit experience for all joint venture, partnership, or mentor protégé members may be rated lower. Offerors are still limited to a total of five projects combined.

Experience of a subcontractor will not be considered.

If the Offeror's proposal presents the experience, past performance, or safety data of any entity with an EIN or CAGE code that differs from that in the SF 1442, the information will not be considered unless the Offeror establishes a basis for imputing the other entity's data to the Offeror. The Government will not assume or independently investigate the existence and nature of a relationship between the Offeror and any other entity that has a different EIN and CAGE code. The Offeror must clearly explain why another entity's experience, past performance, or safety record is relevant to or indicative of the Offeror's ability to perform this contract. A mere statement describing a corporate affiliation is insufficient; the Offeror must also establish how the connection or nexus between it and the other entity relates to the Offeror's qualifications. The explanation for all projects will be limited to one double-sided page on 8-1/2” by 11” paper (or two single-sided pages), and must be included under Factor 2, Experience. See Evaluation Factors for Award, Note 1.

(ii) Submit a maximum of five relevant design projects for the design team that best demonstrates design experience on relevant projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to the solicitation. For purposes of this evaluation, a relevant design project is further defined as:

Similar in size: Construction project at or above $500,000. One project must be less than $2,000,000. One project must be greater than $15,000,000.

Similar in scope: New construction, renovation, alteration, demolition, and repair work by DB or DBB for marine piers, wharves, quay walls, bulkheads, sea walls, dry docks, boat ramps, docks and marinas, shore protection, rip rap, breakwaters, wave attenuation, mooring dolphins, buoys, primary and secondary fendering, pile driving, sheet piles, and dredging and disposal.

Similar in complexity: Project in a marine environment with limited or constrained site access and lay-down area, or involving restrictive environmental regulatory requirements or permit conditions.

At least one project shall involve limited or constrained site access and lay down area.

At least one project shall involve Clean Water Act permit terms and conditions. All projects shall describe actions taken by the Offeror to comply with the requirements/ conditions during construction.

Some examples include:

- Advising project team on regulatory and permit compliance;

- Developing strategies and plans to prevent, control and minimize environmental impacts;

- Implementing environmental controls and evaluating performance;

Projects submitted for the Offeror shall be completed (Beneficial Occupancy Date occurred) within the past seven years of the date of issuance of this solicitation.

A project is defined as a complete design effort performed under a single task order or contract/subcontract. 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 use of the attached Construction & Design Experience Project Data Sheet (Attachment B) is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information. If the same project is being used to demonstrate construction and design experience, submit separate Project Data Sheets for construction and design. Except as specifically requested, the Government will not consider information submitted in addition to this form. Individual blocks on this form may be expanded; however, total length for each project data sheet shall not exceed one double-sided page on 8-1/2” by 11” paper (or two 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 solicitation. In addition, the description should also address any sustainable features for the project, including specific descriptions of those features. Provide applicable documentation on projects that were validated and/or certified through U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) or a similar organization or process. Applicable documentation is not included in the specified page limitation for this factor. Also, the description should address features detailing how the work was completed in accordance with the "Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.”

The Offeror may utilize experience of a design subcontractor to demonstrate design experience under this evaluation factor. The Offeror must provide a letter of commitment or teaming agreement as applicable. Offerors are still limited to a total of five design projects combined.

If the Offeror's proposal presents the experience, past performance, or safety data of any entity with a EIN or CAGE code that differs from that in the SF 1442, the information will not be considered unless the Offeror establishes a basis for imputing the other entity's data to the Offeror. The Government will not assume or independently investigate the existence and nature of a relationship between the Offeror and any other entity that has a different EIN number and CAGE code. The Offeror must clearly explain why another entity's experience, past performance, or safety record is relevant to or indicative of the Offeror's ability to perform this contract. A mere statement describing a corporate affiliation is insufficient; the Offeror must also establish how the connection or nexus between it and the other entity relates to the Offeror's qualifications. The explanation for all projects will be limited to one double-sided page on 8-1/2” by 11” paper (or two single-sided pages), and must be included under Factor 2, Experience. See Evaluation Factors for Award, Note 1.

(B) Basis of Evaluation:

The basis of evaluation will include the Offeror’s demonstrated experience and depth of experience in performing relevant construction and design 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 solicitation. The Government will only review five projects for construction and five for design.

Any projects submitted in excess of the five for Construction Experience and five for Design Experience will not be considered.

Offerors who provide relevant projects where the Offeror and the proposed design firm(s) have previously worked together may be considered more favorably than those that have not worked together. *

Offerors who provide relevant projects that demonstrate design-build experience may be considered more favorably than those that do not have design-build experience. *

Offerors who provide relevant projects that demonstrate experience with sustainable features may be considered more favorably than those that do not demonstrate experience with sustainable features. *

Offerors who provide relevant projects that demonstrate experience with the use of advanced in water techniques may be considered more favorably than those that do not have experience with advanced in water techniques. *

*If the majority of Offerors have at least one project that meets these requirements, more weight will be given to those with multiple projects that meet these requirements.

(3) Factor 3, Past Performance:

(A) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

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 2 for construction experience. If a completed Architect Engineer AE Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluation is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal for each project included in Factor 2 for design experience. If there is not a completed CPARS evaluation, then submit Past Performance Questionnaires (C.1” Construction PPQ and “C.2” Design PPQ) for each project included in Factor 2 for both Construction Experience and Design Experience. The Offeror should provide completed Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) 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, Nicole Riffe at nicole.riffe@navy.mil

Offerors may provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on projects submitted under Factor 2 – Experience. Offerors may also address any adverse past performance issues. Explanations shall not exceed two double-sided pages on 8-1/2” by 11” paper (or four single-sided pages) in total.

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.

Performance award or additional information submitted will not be considered.

(B) Basis of Evaluation:

This evaluation will consider how well the Offeror’s team performed on relevant projects submitted under Factor 2 – Experience and the Government may elect to consider past performance data from other sources. (e.g., PPIRS, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), performance recognition documents, Federal and State Regulatory Agencies, and information obtained from any other source.)

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 team’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the Offeror’s team’s probability to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP.

Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will receive a NEUTRAL Confidence rating.

(4) Factor 4, Safety:

(A) Submittal Requirements:

The Offeror shall submit a narrative that fully describes the safety management system that they will use to oversee the safety compliance and performance of self-performed and sub-contractor performed work and the Offeror’s method for qualifying, evaluating, selecting all tiers of sub-contractors. The narrative shall include:

(i) Experience Modification Rate (EMR):

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

(ii) OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) And Total Recordable Case (TRC) Rates (as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration);

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

(iii) Technical Approach for Safety:

Describe the plan for safety that will be implemented to evaluate safety performance of potential subcontractors as part of the selection process for all levels of subcontractors. The Offeror shall submit a narrative that fully describes the safety management system that they will use to oversee the safety compliance and performance of self-performed and sub-contractor performed work. The Offeror will describe any innovative methods that will be employed to ensure and monitor safe work practices at self-performed and all subcontractor levels. Additionally, the contractor will describe their methodology to execute an effective program that facilitates sound mishap prevention techniques and processes, employee reporting of unsafe conditions, unsafe activities, and near-miss mishaps. The technical approach to safety narrative shall be limited to one double sided page on 8-1/2” by 11” paper (or two single sided pages.)

Note: For a partnership or joint venture, the EMR, DART, and TRC submittal requirements are required for each Offeror who is part of the partnership or joint venture; however, only one technical approach for safety narrative is required. Safety narratives for joint ventures may be up to two double sided pages on 8-1/2” by 11” paper (or four single sided pages.)

(B) Basis of Evaluation:

The safety factor evaluation will collectively consider the following three submittal requirements, and Other sources of information available to the Government:

EMR – The board will evaluate the EMR to determine if the Offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices taking into account any trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rating for the five previous complete calendar years (these ratings will not be averaged). If no EMR exists, the board will evaluate the Offeror’s insurance company-provided equivalent rate, or the Offeror’s explanation addressing the lack of rates. If an insurance company-provided equivalent rate is provided, it will be treated the same as an EMR. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the EMR and negative trends shall be addressed as part of this selection factor.

OSHA DART and TRC rates – The board will evaluate the OSHA DART and TRC rates to determine if the Offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices taking into account any trends and extenuating circumstances that impact rates for the five previous complete calendar years (these ratings will not be averaged). If the Offeror is unable to submit OSHA DART and TRC rates, the board will evaluate the Offeror’s explanation addressing the lack of rates. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the OSHA DART and TRC rate data and negative trends shall be addressed as part of this element.

Offeror Technical Approach to Safety –The board will evaluate the narrative to determine the degree to which subcontractor safety performance will be considered in the selection of all levels of subcontractors on the upcoming project. The board will evaluate the narrative to determine the degree to which innovations are being proposed that may enhance safety on this procurement and validate the contractor has addressed methodology to be used in the execution of an effective program that facilitates sound mishap prevention techniques/processes, employee reporting of unsafe conditions, unsafe activities, and near-miss mishaps.

Other sources of information available to the Government – Other sources for safety may include but are not limited to OSHA data, NAVFAC’s Contractor Incident Reporting System (CIRS) in Enterprise Safety Applications Management System (ESAMS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and other related databases.
