All existing facilities damaged by such operations shall be rectified promptly without additional cost to the Government. Where existing facilities must be changed, or where new facilities adjoin, connect to, or abut existing facilities, the existing facilities shall be altered only as necessary and approved, in a substantial, neat and workmanlike manner.

3. Work Outside Regular Hours If the Contractor decides that it will be necessary to conduct work outside regular hours or on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays, at any of the Government sites identified in the delivery orders issued, the contractor shall submit a written request to the naval activity authorities, as well as a copy to the Contracting Officer. Such requests, if authorized, shall allow ample time to enable satisfactory arrangements to be made by the Government to authorize such work and for inspecting the work in progress. At night, the contractor shall light the different parts of the work in an approved manner. All utility cut-overs shall be made after normal working hours or on weekends. No additional costs shall be authorized for such work.

"Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) increases installation security and communications by receiving frequent database updates on changes to personnel/credential status, law enforcement warrants, lost/stolen cards, and force protection conditions. The system provides a continuous vetting anytime the DBIDS card is scanned at an installation entry point.” If you (contractors, et al)* currently have a Navy Commercial Access Control System (NCACS) card, the following is required to get a DBIDS credential: Present your NCACS Card and a completed copy of the SECNAV FORM 5512/1 to the base Visitor Control Center (VCC) representative.

The VCC will pull up your information in the computer, ensuring all information is current and correct. Once your information is validated, a temporary DBIDS credential is provided.

For each additional U.S. Navy installation to which you need access, the first time you visit you only need to bring your DBIDS credential and statement of purpose for base access when arriving at the VCC. The representative will enter base access authorization and then you may proceed to work.

Additional information is available at https://www.cnic.navy.mil/om/dbids.html.

Failure to obtain entry approval will not affect the contract price or time of completion.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M1 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.

Tthe 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.

M2 EVALUATION FACTORS

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

Factor 1 – Recent, Relevant Experience of the Firm Factor 2 – Small Business Utilization Factor 3 – Safety Factor 4 – Past Performance on Recent, Relevant Projects

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-price evaluation factors is the technical factors (Factors, 1, 2, 3) 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 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(s) whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered.

(a) PRICE: Submit one (1) original price proposal with one (1) CD in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format. The price proposal must be separate from the non-price proposal and clearly labeled as price.

(1) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

1. Completed SF33, Solicitation, Offer and Award (Blocks 12-18)

2. Completed Price Schedule (Section B)

3. VETS-4212 Annual Report

4. Standard Form 24, Bid Bond

5. Copy of Contractor Representations and Certifications from the System for Award

Management (SAM) website at www.sam.gov.

6. The latest three year complete fiscal year financial statements, certified by an independent accounting firm, if available, or at least by an authorized officer of the organization. Submit evidence of availability of working/operating capital, which will be used for the performance of the resultant contract. For Joint Venture arrangements discuss the financial responsibilities among the companies.

7. Small Business Subcontracting Plan (for other than small businesses)

(2) Basis of Evaluation: The Government will evaluate price based on the total price. Total price consists of the basic requirement (see Section B of the solicitation). Analysis will be performed by one or more of the following techniques to ensure a fair and reasonable price:

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

(ii) Comparison of proposed prices with the Independent Government Estimate.

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

(iv) Comparison of market survey results.

(b) NON-PRICE FACTORS: Submit one (1) original non-price proposal with two (2) hard copies and one (1) CD in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format addressing the following:

(1) Factor 1 Recent and Relevant Experience of the Firm:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The Offeror shall provide a maximum of five (5) examples of recent and relevant projects. The Offeror shall clearly demonstrate recent and relevant experience of the firm on projects similar in size, scope and complexity to the requirements described in the Request for Proposals (RFP) completed within the last five (5) years preceding the release date of the solicitation. For purposes of this evaluation, a relevant project is further defined as a project involving a crane with a sixty (60) ton or greater main hoist, luffing boom hoist and rotating upper works. The projects presented must also demonstrate the ability to perform all of the following (NOTE: all abilities are not anticipated to be demonstrated in every project, but each project must demonstrate experience in at least one of these abilities to be considered relevant): use of an on-board diesel, site survey/investigation, design, fabrication, assembly, crane installation, crane testing, and operational training. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to choose which projects best demonstrate experience with the above noted abilities and reflect the Offeror’s ability to successfully accomplish the RFP requirements.

Given the nature of the work required by this solicitation, it is anticipated that the Offeror may be a Joint Venture, Partnership, LLC or other entity consisting of more than one entity. The Offeror may utilize recent, relevant experience of a subcontractor, partner, or, team member that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement to demonstrate recent, relevant experience required under this evaluation factor.

Major aspects mean 10% or more of the dollar value of the work required by the solicitation.

If the Offeror is a Joint Venture, recent and relevant experience should be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity. If the Joint Venture does not have such experience, relevant experience shall be submitted for each Joint Venture partner. JV Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) recent and relevant projects. Projects submitted by Joint Ventures, where the Joint Venture firms performed together (either as partners or in a prime-sub relationship) may be viewed more favorably than contracts submitted in which the Joint Venture firms did not perform together. Any supporting agreements, including Joint Venture agreements, evidencing the relationship between two or more business entities (e.g. letters of intent, teaming agreements, etc.) shall be submitted with the proposal.

If the offeror uses a proposed subcontractor(s) to demonstrate corporate experience, the offeror must do the following: provide a letter of commitment from the subcontractor and the subcontractor’s DUNS number if available; submit at least one (1) contract for the proposed subcontractor(s); and demonstrate how the proposed subcontractor will use that corporate experience in the performance of the contract.

If the offeror uses affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies (name is not exactly as stated on the SF33) to demonstrate recent, relevant experience the offeror shall clearly demonstrate that the affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies will have meaningful involvement in the performance of this contract. Meaningful involvement is demonstrated when the proposal: 1) clearly states the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member company's specific commitment of technical resources (e.g. personnel, equipment) that will be provided or relied upon for contract performance; and 2) describes specific aspects of the project that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member company will self-perform or manage on behalf of the Offeror in performance of the contract.

Failure to submit letters of intent, teaming agreements (including Joint Venture agreements), meaningful involvement, or other evidence of commitment may result in the Government not evaluating the recent, relevant experience of the subcontractor, partner, team, or JV member.

For each project the offeror shall complete the Corporate Experience Questionnaire included as Attachment E.

All information shall be provided as requested on the form.

IMPORTANT: It is the offeror’s responsibility to clearly explain and demonstrate to the Government how its work experience, and the experience of each teaming partner (if applicable) in each submitted contract is relevant to the contract requirements in thissolicitation. If the offeror does not clearly explain how its experience(s) is/are relevant to the contract requirements in this specification, the Government may determine that the submitted contract experience is not relevant.

The Recent, Relevant Experience submittal (Corporate Experience Questionnaires) shall be limited to no more than fifteen (15) single-sided pages (or three (3) single-sided pages per project) total.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation: The Government will evaluate the offeror’s demonstrated experience and depth of experience in performing relevant projects as defined in the solicitation submittal requirements. The assessment of the Offeror’s recent and 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 review only five (5) projects. Any projects submitted in excess of the five (5) project limit will not be considered.

(2) Factor 2 Small Business Utilization:

This Factor assesses both the historical achievements in utilizing small business concerns as subcontractors and proposed small business participation and commitment strategies (see Basis of Evaluation).

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

1. Achievements: All offerors shall provide a narrative (limited to two pages) to describe their achievements in supporting the Government’s policy to provide maximum practicable opportunities for small business (SB), veteran-owned small business (VOSB), service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), historically underutilized business zone (HUBZone) small business, small disadvantaged business (SDB), and women-owned small business (WOSB) concerns to participate as subcontractors consistent with efficient contract performance. In support of narrative submissions:

a. All offerors (SBs and other than SBs) shall submit small business subcontracting information associated with each project cited under the Corporate Experience Factor whether performed as a prime or subcontractor. This information is required regardless of whether a subcontracting plan was incorporated into the contract award. This information shall be provided in the format provided in Attachment F, Small Business Participation Record. If projects submitted under Corporate Experience were task orders, the small business participation achievements should be specific to the task order, not the contract. If a project cited under the Corporate Experience Factor was not performed by the offeror as a prime or subcontractor (i.e. the offeror is utilizing experience of subcontractor to fulfill Corporate Experience), Attachment F is not required. The proposal shall include an explanation for any project that does not require Attachment F. Offerors shall provide explanations for contracts or task orders that were performed exclusively overseas or did not include opportunities for subcontracting (100% self-performed).

b. Offerors representing as other than small businesses shall also provide copies of the most current individual subcontracting reports (ISRs) associated with each project cited under the Corporate Experience Factor if a small business subcontracting plan was required by the contract. If such projects were completed under specific task orders, provide ISRs for the overall contract. For cited projects with state and local government agencies, provide similar subcontracting performance reports if required by the contracts. When not specifically addressed in the ISR or similar report, offerors shall provide explanations for all instances of failures to meet dollar or percentage goals in individual subcontracting plans. Acknowledging a missed goal is not the same as providing an explanation for why a goal was missed.

Notes: The Government reserves the right to consider achievements information on other recent, relevant projects from all available sources.

Offerors utilizing achievements information of key subcontractors shall clearly demonstrate how these companies will have meaningful involvement in the management of the subcontracting program for this acquisition. If not, such achievement information will not be considered under this factor. If the offeror is a new joint venture, partnership or other entity consisting of more than one company, provide achievements information for each individual business entity(ies) that will be responsible for managing the subcontracting program and clearly describe those responsibilities.

Failure to provide ISRs or any other requested information must be fully explained and may negatively impact your evaluation.

2. Small Business Participation and Commitment: All offerors shall submit a small business participation and commitment strategy including all data elements shown in Attachment G, Small Business Participation and Commitment Strategy.

a. Identify in terms of dollar value and percentage of the total acquisition the extent of work the offeror will self-perform as the prime contractor. If submitting an offer as a joint venture, identify the percentage of work each member will be responsible for and indicate the size status of each member (e.g. small business, woman-owned small business, other than small business).

b. Include supplemental narratives (limited to five pages) to address other elements of the offeror’s strategy such as binding agreements covering post award roles for execution of the contract and specific initiatives and tools that will be employed under the contract to enhance small businesses opportunities to both participate in this acquisition and build capabilities to support future NAVFAC acquisitions.

c. The anticipated prime and first tier overall small business participation rate for this acquisition (i.e.

work to be performed by small businesses as the prime and/or subcontractors) is 20% of the contract value. Offerors are encouraged to exceed this percentage and seek meaningful levels of participation in each of the small business socioeconomic programs listed in Attachment E consistent with efficient contract performance. Offerors shall explain in their participation and commitment strategies how proposed participation rates were established. The small business participation and commitment strategy must be in agreement with any required small business subcontracting plan and will be made a part of the contract upon award.

Note: The small business participation and commitment strategies evaluated under this factor do not replace small business subcontracting plans. Offerors representing as other than small businesses must submit acceptable small business subcontracting plans using the Attachment L as a template in order to be eligible for award (FAR 19.702(a)(1)). See the SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN section of INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS for subcontracting plan submission requirements.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation: Offerors will be evaluated on the following:

a. The extent to which their proposals and other performance information available to the Government demonstrate a history of successfully supporting Government policies concerning utilization of small business concerns as subcontractors including, when applicable, achievements against established small business subcontracting plan goals.

b. The extent to which small business concerns are specifically identified by name and socio-economic category in the proposal.

c. The levels of small business participation proposed and the degree of commitment to use named sources (formal agreements/letters of intent).

d. Complexity and variety of the work small businesses are to perform.

e. The anticipated benefits of proposed initiatives and tools to enhance small business participation and capabilities.

f. Realism and the likelihood of success in achieving the small business objectives of this acquisition.

g. Quantitative degree to which small business (including small business in all socio-economic categories) will participate in the acquisition relative to the total contract value.

(3) Factor 3 Safety:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

The Offeror shall submit the following information: (For a partnership or joint venture, the following submittal requirements are required for each contractor who is part of the partnership or joint venture; however, only one safety narrative is required. EMR, DART and TRC Rates shall not be submitted for subcontractors.)

(1) Experience Modification Rate (EMR): Submit the three most recent 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 should be addressed as part of the factor submission.

(2) OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate: Submit the three most recent 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 must be addressed as part of this factor submission.

(3) OSHA Total Recordable Case (TRC) Rate: Submit the three most recent complete calendar years’ worth of data. If an offeror cannot submit an OSHA TRC rate, for any year, affirmatively state so and an explanation must be provided. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the OSHA TRC rate data negatively must be addressed as part of this factor submission

(4) 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.
