AMENDMENT 0005
The following are questions and answers regarding the solicitation and prior amendments.
The time for questions has now passed. Questions may be asked, but there is no quarantee that additional questions will be answered.
Question 92: The JL9 form does allow for information beyond 5 projects. Can you confirm that the JL9 form does not need to be completed for the additional projects allowed as part of amendment 003?
Answer 92: Attachment JL.9 is to be completed for all projects. Refer to revised JL.9 (Rev 1) issued with this amendment.
Question 93: With the opportunity to add three additional past performance projects, please advise if the Government will issue a revision for attachment JL9 - Historical SB Utilization to include additional numbered rows for those three projects.
Answer 93: Refer to Q&A # 92 in this amendment.
Question 94: We noticed the Solicitation indicated JL7 has formulas in it, but the only formulas we found were on the last tab which contemplates multiple offerors. Was the intent for the Base Year and Option Year tabs to all have formulas also?
Answer 94: The attachment JL.7 is correct as issued.
Question 95: Amendment 4, Revision 2 of the JL.8 reverted back to the numbering used in the original JL.8 that was modified in JL.8 Rev 1. Please confirm we are able to use the numbering utilized in Revision 1 of the JL.8 in our proposal that corrected the sequential numbering:

L-4. GENERAL INFORMATION
Below hereto is a description of the elements of the proposal, including specific instructions for its organization.
When evaluating your capability, the Government will consider how well you complied with these instructions. If you (1) fail or refuse to assent to any of the terms and conditions of this RFP; (2) propose additional terms or conditions; and/or (3) propose assumptions that take material exception to the requirements of the solicitation, the Government may consider your offer to be unacceptable and your offer may be rejected without further consideration.
Each volume of the proposal shall be submitted in accordance with this Provision. Proposals are to be neat, legible and orderly. Content is more important than quantity. Pages shall be numbered in accordance with the numbering conventions outlined in the solicitation. A concise and comprehensive proposal is desired. Organization, clarity, accuracy of information, relevance, and completeness are of prime importance. Statements such as “will comply” or “noted and understood” without supporting narrative to define compliance are not acceptable. Cursory responses or responses which merely reiterate or reformulate solicitation language will not be considered as satisfying the requirements of the RFP or as demonstrating the ability to perform. Elaborate brochures or other presentations beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are not desired. Elaborate artwork and expensive visual or other presentation aids are not necessary.
The Non-Cost (Technical Factors and Past Performance) and Cost Proposals shall be submitted in separate binders, tabbed appropriately, and must include a cover page with the name of the prime contractor(s), DUNs number(s), addresses, phone number, email addresses, solicitation number and point of contact. Should there be a discrepancy between paper and electronic information provided, the paper copies shall govern. Offerors are requested to number the pages consecutively for each factor.
Joint Venture and Team Arrangements - FAR Subpart 9.6 defines contractor team arrangements. Contractor team arrangements mean (1) two or more companies form a partnership or joint venture to act as a potential prime contractor or (2) a potential prime contractor agrees with one or more other companies to have them act as its subcontractor under a specified Government contract or acquisition program.
Offerors may not submit more than one offer as a prime contractor. Failure to comply with this limitation may result in disqualification of the offeror from contract award.
All offerors proposing team members (including a joint venture or subcontractor), or relying on resources of a parent company/subsidiary/affiliate/other entity shall submit the following information in the front of the non-cost and cost proposals:
1. Provide a listing of the team members’ corporate name (no abbreviations), address, point of contact, phone number, email address, DUNS Number, and Cage Code.
2. Submit a copy of the joint venture agreement, other teaming agreement, or binding letter of commitment from each team member. All joint ventures, teaming agreements, and letters of commitment shall: (1) clearly identify the expected relationship, role and responsibility between the firms or of the subcontractor or other entity (type and proportion of work to be performed); and (2) shall be signed by the appropriate individual(s) of each firm/entity.
Copies of joint venture agreements, teaming agreements, and letters of commitment shall not be applied against the overall 175 page limit. Joint Venture Agreements and letters of commitment should be provided in both the technical and cost proposal.
Contractors must submit required information for technical and cost proposals as follows:
Volume I: Non-cost (Technical Factors and Past Performance): Submit one (1) original, six (6) copies in 8-1/2 x 11 format, font size 11-12. Tables and charts can be in landscape format, font size 10. Proposals will be submitted in three ring binders and tabbed appropriately by major evaluation factor. Double-sided pages are encouraged to conserve paper. In addition, submit a complete copy of the non-cost proposal on CD (bookmark all sections the same as the tabs in paper copies). The document should be submitted as both an Adobe Acrobat file (.pdf) and as a Microsoft Word file. (Note: Cover page, letters of commitment, JV agreements, and past performance questionnaires may be submitted in Adobe only). Additionally, it is acceptable to have multiple Microsoft Word files that are organized on the CD by subfolders instead of submitting one Microsoft Word file.) Proposal submission is limited to 175 pages. Note that letters of commitment, Joint Venture/teaming/partnership agreements, CPARS evaluations, past performance questionnaires, Attachments JL.9 (REV 1), JL10 (REV 1), and JL.11 are not applied against the overall page limit. Further, tabs, introductory sheets (e.g. Table of Contents, List of Figures, List of Acronyms), a one-page coversheet to identify the contractor and the proposal, and the listings of team member’s corporate names and point of contact information are not applied against the overall page limit. There is no page limitation for the introductory sheets. All information provided on the introductory sheets is not evaluated. Offerors are requested to number the pages consecutively for each factor. Within the tabs for the factors, only the pages that are applied to the overall page limit should contain consecutive page numbers. If a form that is provided as a JL attachment in this solicitation is a form that is applied to the overall page number limit, a page number should be added to the form.

VOLUME I: NON-COST PROPOSAL
NON-COST EVALUATION FACTORS
(a) Non-cost/price Factors:
(1) Factor 1, Corporate Experience :
(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:
Offerors (Prime/JVs) shall provide the following:
• A maximum of five (5) projects similar in size, scope and complexity to the work anticipated under this contract and completed within the past ten (10) years of the date of issuance of this RFP. Each project must be valued at $10 million or more.
• A maximum of three (3) projects, similar in scope and complexity to the work anticipated under this contract and completed, or substantially completed within the past five (5) years of the date of issuance of this RFP. Substantially completed means that the majority of the substantive work (approximately 75% or more) is completed.
The project descriptions should explain the relevance of each project, including the extent to which the project demonstrates experience in planning, team-forming, managing, coordinating, and executing construction emergency/contingency recovery work requiring rapid mobilization and/or new construction, renovations, and repairs in a wide array of geographical locations world-wide (continental United States, overseas, and remote locations); federal cost contracting experience; and incidental services experience. Incidental services are those in support of the construction effort that may be required to provide initial Base Operating Support (BOS) Services, i.e., set up of base operating office/camp to provide services for military and contractor staff as necessary at a disaster or remote location.
At least one project must be performed at a location other than the United States or its territories.
A project is defined as work performed under a single task order or standalone contract. For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the contract as a whole should not be submitted as a project;
rather, Offerors should submit work performed under a task order as a project.
The attached Construction Experience Project Data Sheet (Attachment JL.8 (REV 3)) is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information. This form is set at 10 pt font and the font size shall not be altered by the Offeror. 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 five (5) pages (either five (5) single sided pages or two (2) double sided pages and a single page). All pages addressing Attachment JL.8 (REV 3) are included in the overall 175 page limitation.
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.
If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), at least one of the relevant projects should be submitted for the JV entity. If the JV does not have shared relevant experience, at least one project shall be submitted for each JV partner.
Offerors who fail to submit a relevant project for either the JV as an entity or for each of the JV partners will be found unacceptable. 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 partner offering on this contract and shall not include work performed by the JV as a whole. If the offeror does not specifically address what portion of the work under the submitted project was performed by the JV member offering on this contract, the project will not be evaluated.
If an Offeror is utilizing experience information of affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies (name is not exactly as stated on the SF33), the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent firm will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract.
A key subcontractor is defined as a subcontractor that performed major and/or critical aspects of work submitted as a project under this factor. The Offeror may utilize experience of a key subcontractor to demonstrate construction experience under this evaluation factor. The Offer must provide a signed letter of commitment and an explanation of the meaningful involvement that the subcontractor will have in performance of this contract.
(2) Factor 2: Safety
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): Include five previous complete calendar years’ worth of data (2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015). 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: For the five previous complete calendar years, the offeror will submit their OSHA DART, as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015). If unable to submit OSHA DART rates, affirmatively state so, and an explanation must be provided. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the OSHA DART rate data and negative trends should be addressed as part of this element. The board will evaluate the OSHA DART rates to determine if the Offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices taking into account any upward trends and extenuating circumstances that impact rates.
(3) OSHA Total Recordable Case (TRC) Rate: For the five previous complete calendar years, the offeror will submit their OSHA TRC, as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015). If unable to submit OSHA TRC rates, affirmatively state so, and an explanation must be provided. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the OSHA TRC rate data and negative trends should be addressed as part of this element. The board will evaluate the OSHA TRC rates to determine if the Offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices taking into account any upward trends and extenuating circumstances that impact rates.
(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. 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 subcontractor performed work. The offeror will describe any innovative methods that will be employed to ensure and monitor safe work practices at self-performed and/or all subcontractor levels. Additionally, the contactor 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 two double-sided pages.
(3) Factor 3, 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.
(i) (i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:
1. All Offerors (both Other than Small Businesses (OTSB) AND SBs shall use Attachment JL.9 (REV 1)
(Historical Small Business Utilization) to demonstrate their historical utilization of SBs. Attachment JL.9 (REV 1) shall be provided for each project submitted under Factor 1, Corporate Experience.
Failure to submit Attachment 9 (REV 1) for each project submitted under Factor 1, Corporate Experience, or the failure to fully complete Attachment JL.9 (REV 1) may result in a deficiency.
2. All Offerors (both OTSBs and SBs) shall use Attachment JL.10 (REV 1) (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). 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 requirement of 20% (of the total contract value) shall provide a detailed explanation why the minimum total small business participation requirement cannot be achieved.
Large business Offerors may achieve the minimum total small business participation requirement through subcontracting to small businesses.
Small business Offerors may achieve the minimum total small business participation requirement 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 requirements.
Offerors simply proposing a 20% total small business participation requirement 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.
SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN (April 2020)
In accordance with FAR 19.7, all other than small businesses shall submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan (SBSP) utilizing the template provided as Attachment JL.11. Acceptability of the SBSP will be considered a responsibility matter. The SBSP will not be evaluated or rated by the SSEB, but reviewed by a Small Business Professional/Authorized Representative and the Contracting Officer for acceptability. 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.
Small Business (SB) 40% Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) 5% HUBZone SB 3% Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) 9%
Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) 3% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) 3%
The SBSP shall be consistent with the commitments offered in the Small Business Participation Commitment Document (Attachment JL.10 (REV 1)). In accordance with DFARS 215.304(c)(i), when an evaluation assesses the extent that small businesses are specifically identified in proposals, those small businesses considered in the evaluation shall be listed in the SBSP.
Please note that SBSP goals and the participation requirements provided in the Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD) WILL NOT be the same. The participation requirements within the SBPCD are provided as percentages of the total contract value; subcontract plan goals are provided as a percentage of planned subcontracting dollars. While the percentages will differ, the types of products/services identified in the SBSP, should be the same as those products/services identified in the SBPCD. Likewise, the planned small business subcontract dollars in the SBSP will be equal to (or in some cases greater than) the extent of small business participation identified in the SBPCD.
(4) Factor 4. Past Performance:
The Government will evaluate the Offerors’ and proposed team members’ past performance on the work experience identified in Factor 1 (Corporate Experience). IF A COMPLETED CONSTUCTION CONTRACTOR APPRAISAL
SUPPORT SYSTEM (CCASS) EVALUATION OR CONTRACTOR PERFROMANCE ASSESSMENT
REPORTING SYSTEM (CPARS) EVALUATION IS AVAILABLE, IT SHALL BE SUBMITTED WITH THE
PROPOSAL. IF THERE IS NOT A COMPLETED CCASS OR 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 CCASS OR CPARS IS AVAILABLE.
The blank Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) included in the solicitation (Attachment JL.13) is provided for the offeror to submit for each project the offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 1, Corporate Experience, up to a total of five (5) questionnaires for which no CCASS or CPARS is available. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Offerors should provide completed PPQs with their 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 JL.13), 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 two Government’s point of contact, Linda Stein, via email at linda.stein@navy.mil, and Amber Forehand-Hughes, via email at amber.forehand@navy.mil, prior to the proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs or CCASS/CPARS previously submitted for other RFPs.
However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. The Government may make reasonable attempts to contact the client noted for that project(s) to obtain the PPQ information requested. However, offerors should follow-up with clients/references to help ensure timely submittal of questionnaires.
Offerors should provide an explanation of any past performance problems that may have developed on these projects and corrective action taken. The offerors can submit their explanations of any past performance problems that may have developed on the projects submitted under Factor 1 in a narrative. The narrative will be page counted and should be submitted after the past performance questionnaire.
Also include performance recognition documents received within the last ten (10) years such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition for Factor 1, Corporate Experience projects only. For performance recognition documents to be considered under this factor they are required to be dated and contain the signature and position of the individual signing. Further, performance recognition documents solicited especially for the purposes of this factor may be considered less favorably than documents contemporaneously received for the work performed.
In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.
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.

(1) Offerors shall propose hourly ceiling rates for direct (unburdened-no overhead, G&A, etc.) labor for all labor categories listed in Attachment JL.2, Cost Reimbursable Direct Labor Hourly Ceiling Rates (*in accordance with the notes on JL.2), for the base year and each option year. Each required labor category in the solicitation shall be provided by the prime contractor (including individual JV members) and cost reimbursable subcontractors. The ceiling rates proposed will be the maximum allowable rates that can be proposed or charged under task orders issued during the ordering period of any contract awarded as a result of this solicitation. The labor categories and labor rates identified in Attachment JL.2 will become part of the contract. These are not bid rates. Labor rates proposed for individual task orders may be less and should be in accordance with the offeror’s disclosed estimating system practices and, if applicable, forward pricing rate agreements. Labor rates proposed for task orders shall not exceed the maximum ceiling rates established in the contract under JL.2.
(2) Labor categories listed on Attachments JL.2 and JL.2A are for exempt employees. Service Contract Labor Standards (SCA) or Wage Rate Requirements Construction (DBA) categories are not included. As applicable, DBA Wage Determinations will be included in individual task orders. However, it is recognized that the administrative assistant and accounting technician labor categories included in JL.2 could be classified as SCA labor categories under an individual task order, when a Service Contract Labor Standards Wage Determination is incorporated into the task order. The SCA and DBA rates used for proposals and billing purposes under individual task orders SHALL REFLECT THE MINIMUM RATES set forth on the applicable wage determination, unless a higher rate is otherwise approved by the Contracting Officer for use under the respective task order(s). the higher rate shall not exceed the SCA or DBA rate plus the applicable wage determination ceiling percent proposed under Attachment JL.6A (incorporated into the contract), for the particular trade ,unless an exception is made in accordance with Section H6-Service Contract Labor Standards and Wage Rate Requirements (Construction) Base and Ceiling.
(3) Each contractor, JV member and cost reimbursable subcontractor shall provide individual or average direct labor rates (including any adjustment for uncompenstated overtime-see attachment JL.3) and ceiling labor rates for ALL LABOR CATEGORIES listed on attachment JL.2 and JL.2A, regardless of whether the offeror currently employs personnel in every labor category or intends to rely on team members/subcontractors for the particular labor categories. If the contractor/subcontractor does not currently employ an employee(s) under the listed labor category, a market rate shall be provided. All labor categories listed on JL.2 shall be tied to an internal labor category.
(4) Offerors shall provide information on and discuss how the proposed labor rate ceilings were derived for Attachment JL.2. Provide information on the basis of the base rates used to arrive at the ceiling rates, such as whether the base rates were based on actual individual rates for personnel, average or weighted average rates for current employees, forward pricing rates, market sources such as Bureau of Labor Statistics or salary.com, etc. The Offeror should submit any information reasonably required to explain the estimating process, including the judgmental factors applied and the mathematical or other methods used in the hourly rate estimate. If a composite labor rate is utilized or a labor rate is prorated over fiscal years, provide the specific details/calculations used to determine the rate. If forward pricing rates apply, provide a copy in Appendix B. Any deviation from forward pricing rates, current actual rates for individuals, etc.
shall be clearly documented. Provide a narrative supporting the percent mark-up used on the base rates to arrive at the proposed ceiling rates. Complete JL.2A showing the base rate for each labor category, percentage mark-up for each labor category, and base year ceiling rate.
(5) Offerors SHALL NOT ADD ADDITIONAL labor categories on JL.2. If it is determined that a labor category not listed on JL.2 is required for a task order, the Contract Administrator listed under Section G1-Contract Administration Data, paragraph (c), may approve the labor category and the corresponding ceiling rate for the specific task order and, if applicable, may incorporate the labor category into the basic contract. Additionally, where it is determined necessary to utilize a specific individual on a task order, whose actual labor rate exceeds the established ceiling for the respective labor category, the Contractor will be required to obtain prior written approval from the Contract Administrator listed under Section G1. In the event that such approval is not properly obtained, the Government will only be required to reimburse the Contractor at the ceiling rate established in the contract.
