SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT #0002

1. The purpose of this Amendment is to incorporate the following changes into the solicitation as follows:

Revised Exhibit D Safety Narrative Revised Exhibit L 238220 JOC PTO 0001 Worksheet Provide revised and/or updated Sections B, L, and M language concerning task order range, set-aside status, etc.

Response’s to Contractor Submitted Request for Information (RFI’s)

2. Response to Contractor Submitted Requests for Information (RFI’s):

Question #1: On page 169 under Factor 1 paragraph the RFP states that we are to use Exhibit "A" (Current Composition and Proposed Staffing), including directions for filling out the form. However, Exhibit "A" (Offeror Team Composition and Management) which was included on NECO website provides different directions and the template does not offer appropriate areas to complete the RFP requirements.

The form that was provided leaves no area to address how the offeror has the ability to manage multiple simultaneous projects. Please provide the correct form to be filled out based upon the RFP requirements.

Government Response: Refer to Exhibit A in the directions located above the block for team member 1; the form can be modified as necessary within the prescribed page limitations.

Question #2: Exhibit "A" (Offeror Team Composition and Management) states - "If the experience of an entity is being claimed in Factor 2, that entity must be identified and described on this Exhibit "A"". In Factor 2, if we are the Prime Contractor and performed over 75% of the work do we need to include our Subcontractors in Exhibit "A" as Team Members?

Government Response: Refer to Factor Two page 170, “The Offeror may not utilize experience of a subcontractor to demonstrate construction experience under this evaluation factor.” See also the definition of JOINT VENTURE.

Question #3: Can the government please clarify this sentence: "For purposes of this evaluation, relevant projects are further defined as water and sewer line alteration, repair, and construction projects and associated work within the construction cost range of $2,000 to $750,000". "Water and sewer line" are incorrect.

Government Response: Delete "For purposes of this evaluation, relevant projects are further defined as water and sewer line alteration, repair, and construction projects and associated work within the construction cost range of $2,000 to $750,000" AND Replace with "For purposes of this evaluation, relevant projects are further defined as heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) work as defined under NAICS 238220, and construction projects and associated work within the construction cost range of $2,000 to $750,000".

Question #4: In section L paragraph (b) it states, a list of Frequently-Asked-Questions (FAQ) with appropriate responses is provided as an attachment to the RFP. All firms are encouraged to review the FAQ. The FAQ should be viewed prior to submitting any questions regarding the RFP.

Government Response: Delete all references to this list of Frequently-Asked-Questions (FAQ).

Question #5: Section A.3 of the original solicitation and Amendment 0001 states that the procurement is limited to 100% total Small Business participants, with the assigned NAICS code of 238220. However, section A.12, Approval to Subcontract, references "DFARS Clause 252.219-7000 - Section 8(a) Direct Award..." and section A.13 also makes reference to 8(a) contractors: "8(a) Contractors must agree that:..."

Please confirm that this solicitation is a Total Small Business Set-Aside, not an 8(a) set-aside.

Government Response: Delete all references to a Section 8(a) Direct Award; this solicitation is a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside.

Question #6: Section B.3, Minimum and Maximum Contract Amounts states: "The total value of this contract, including option years, shall not exceed $9,000,000." This conflicts with the Maximum Amount shown in Section B, CLIN 0001, and section B.1, Offers, CLIN 0001, both of which state that the Maximum Amount is $15,000,000.

Government Response: Delete all reference to the total contract value being $9,000,000. Replace with a total contract value including all option years is $15,000,000.

3. All proposers must state their acknowledgement of this amendment in their Cover Letter when submitting your individual proposal.

SECTION B - SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES

The following have been modified:

SECTION B

B.1 OFFERS

1. The offeror must submit one coefficient factor for each line item below, supported by a detailed cost breakdown on how the coefficient factors were developed. Refer to Paragraphs B.2, B.3, and Section L (Volume II Cost) for instructions on submitting cost proposals.

CLIN DESCRIPTION

0001 NAVAL BASE SAN DIEGO $15,000,000.00

(includes base period and option years)

9000 Exhibit Line Item Numbers (ELINS) FFP – Applicable for the Base year (See Exhibit A below)

ELIN FFP - Coefficient applicable to current R.S. Means (MEANS) Cost Data

COEFFICIENT

A001 FFP - Coefficient Commercial / Facilities Cost Data Pre-priced line items

A002 FFP - Coefficient Commercial / Facilities Cost Data Non-pre-priced line items

0002 PTO #0001 – Seed Project $______

2. As detailed in Section L, for each coefficient factor provided above, the offeror shall provide, with the cost proposal, a detailed breakdown of each factor. The breakdown shall indicate the amount of each item listed in section B.2 below contributing to the whole coefficient factor. The sum of those item contributions must add to the actual coefficient factor submitted, for each line item.

B.2 OFFEROR’S COEFFICIENT AND PRE-PRICED WORK

1. The offeror’s coefficient is a multiplier that represents costs (generally indirect costs) to be applied to the work item unit price information from the MEANS Cost Data books or software. The offeror’s coefficient shall account for a wide variety of risks of doing business, including but not limited to, overhead and profit, insurance, bonding, taxes, licenses and fees, waste and excess materials, compliance with environmental and safety laws, project management, scoping meetings with Government personnel and a variety of other overhead costs items. Examples of such costs are gross receipts taxes, payroll taxes, superintendents’ salaries, builder’s risk insurance, mobilization and demobilization expenses, project estimating, site office overhead, field office building (if any), furniture, equipment, on-site administrative staff salaries, vehicle and construction equipment maintenance, office administrative expenses, and proportional share of home office overhead. The coefficient shall also include all insurance, special clothing for workers, traffic barricades, additional supervision, as well as paperwork fees associated with a particular task order (i.e.

submittals [asbestos removal plan, lead abatement plan, etc.], consultant fees, all on and off site storage, etc.). The offeror’s coefficient must be all inclusive and shall apply for the prime contractor and all subcontractors.

Tools and Equipment. This is a representative listing of tools and equipment that apply to the various trades. These items are indicative of, but not limited to, those that the Contractor is expected to provide as part of normal overhead cost.

Airlines (drop line) All hand tools Awl Axes Brushes Barricades, Safety Bolt cutters Barrier tape Broom Cable cutters Cable pullers/Hoist (hand held) Can Opener Calking Gun Caulking/Yarning Irons Chain Saw Chisels Clamps Cleaning Equipment (hand held) Compressor (sized as required to run tools) Conduit bender Crow Bars Dividers Drift Pins Drill, pneumatic Drill, pneumatic bits (up to 1 ¼ dia.)

Temporary (up to 6 each) Nailer, Pneumatic Nail Sets Picks Planes, (hand held) Planes, Electric, (hand held) Pliers Powder Actuated Fastening Tools Plumb Bob Pot Hook Personal Protective Equipment Punches Rake Rasps (files) Reinforcing steel, Shear and Bender Rivet Sets (Light, hand held) Rollers- Flooring Rules Safety Equipment (PPE) Safety fencing (orange plastic) Sanders (hand held) Saws, Hand Saws, Electric Hand, Circular Saws, Electric Hand, Reciprocating Saws, Backsaws and MiterBox

2. The coefficient shall include all other administrative costs not specific to the task order and any other factor(s) the offeror deems necessary to cover all contingencies in connection therewith, since no allowance will be made later for additional costs.

3. The coefficient will be used in establishing the price for task orders and modifications. The coefficient is multiplied by the sum of bare costs (no O&P) for line items identified within the current edition of the MEANS Cost Data books or software that correspond to task order work items, to arrive at the total proposed cost of any given task order. The coefficient also includes any overhead and profit for subcontractors hired by the JOC Contractor. No additional compensation for using subcontractors will be paid by the Government.

4. The current edition of the MEANS Cost Data books or software shall be used in each year of the contract, including the most current quarterly updates for all costs. The volumes/titles within the MEANS Cost Data books or software to be consulted and used to identify pre-priced work items (as listed by preference below) are as follows:

Facilities Construction Cost Data (USE THIS UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED) Repair and Remodeling Cost Data Mechanical Cost Data Electrical Cost Data Plumbing Cost Data Building Construction Cost Data Heavy Construction Cost Data Site Work and Landscape Cost Data Interior Cost Data

As each new MEANS Cost Data book or software is released, it will be used for all pricing within that year, including quarterly updates. For example, if the base year occurs in 2018, the 2018 edition shall be used with the most up to date quarterly update; upon release of the 2019 edition, all subsequent work shall be priced using the 2019 edition (and current quarterly update), until the next edition is released.

For purposes of task order negotiations, the MEANS Cost Data book or software and current quarterly update in effect at the time the task order Request for Proposal (RFP) is due will be used for negotiating purposes. Similarly, any modifications made to a contract task order will incorporate the MEANS edition and quarterly update in effect at the time the modification RFP is due. The offeror is responsible for purchasing and maintaining its own current edition of the MEANS Cost Data books or software products for this purpose, and installing quarterly updates as they become available.

The City Cost Index is a multiplier used to adjust construction costs to a particular geographic location. Bare costs in the UPB represent the U.S national average. To adjust costs to a particular geographic location, the Weighted Average CCI is applied to the bare cost. The CCI for San Diego, CA shall apply to all work under this contract. CCI rates are found in the Reference Section of the R.S. Means Cost Data Book. THE CCI ONLY APPLIES TO PRE-PRICED

LINE ITEMS.

5. Bare costs of line items/descriptions within the MEANS Cost Data book or software, by which the coefficient is multiplied to arrive at the task order proposal pricing, are “pre-priced”. Items not available with the MEANS Cost Data book or software, or identified below as such, are “non-pre-priced”. Line items within the Cost Data book or software which are listed under different titles with similar descriptions, but with different unit prices, or work items that could be interpreted within the software to be included by more than one line item shall be negotiated to arrive at one of the pre-priced line items within the software.

6. Coefficients will not be adjusted for any other changes or circumstances encountered during the life of the contract – the coefficients will remain unchanged throughout any given contract or option year.

7. Report proposed coefficients within the offeror’s proposal as follows: An offer of "net" would be represented by "1.0" (no cost above MEANS bare costs as described above). An example of a decrease from the bare prices listed in MEANS would be "0.90". An example of an increase above the bare prices in MEANS would be "1.10".

B.3 NON-PRE-PRICED WORK

1. Only non-pre-priced work that is incidental to pre-priced work shall be considered to be within the scope of this contract. If the value of non-pre-priced work exceeds 30% of the total task order cost it will NOT be considered incidental, and the project will not be executed under this contract.

A. Incidental non-pre-priced work may include minor facilities engineering work items that are not specifically included in the MEANS Cost Data books or software but that are within the basic intent and general scope of the contract and are incidental to a pre-priced work item.

B. Incidental non-pre-priced work will be negotiated on a work item-by-work item basis. MEANS or its factor used for calculating the pre-priced items will not be used to compute the cost proposal of the non-pre-priced items.

2. The pre-priced coefficient is not applied to non-pre-priced items. After the bare costs of these items have been negotiated, the non-pre-priced coefficient will be applied to the agreed to bare costs of non-pre-priced items.

B.4 CONTRACT TYPE

This is a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Job Order Contract (JOC) for HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR-CONDITIONING work as defined under NAICS 238220 at various locations in the Naval Base San Diego (NBSD) area of responsibility.

B.5 MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM CONTRACT AMOUNTS

During the period specified in the ORDERING clause (DFARS 252.216-7006 [MAY 2011]), the Government shall place orders totaling a minimum of $5,000.00 for the life of the contract. The total value of this contract, including option years, shall not exceed $15,000,000. Individual task orders may not exceed $500,000 for the award amount.

B.6 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR WAGE DETERMINATION:

In accordance with FAR 52.222-6, CONSTRUCTION WAGE RATE REQUIREMENTS (MAY 2014), each individual task order RFP shall be priced to include the current applicable Department of Labor (DOL) Construction Wage Rate (Davis Bacon) Determination (See Section J, Exhibit I) for San Diego County.

Any changes in the applicable minimum hourly rates of wages during the entire term of the contract including any option years shall not affect the unit price to be paid by the

Government for work performed under the contract. A current Construction Wage Rate Determination will be incorporated into the contract upon exercise of each option year without adjustment.

B.7 BID GUARANTEE, PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS, ADDITIONAL

BONDING REQUIREMENTS

Bonds are required for this contract. Refer to Section H, PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS, ADDITIONAL BONDING REQUIREMENTS and Section I, FAR Clauses 52.228-1 BID

GUARANTEE (SEP 1996), 52.228-15 PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS-CONSTRUCTION

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

SECTION M

BASIS FOR AWARD

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

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

Factor 1 – Ability to Manage Multiple Simultaneous Projects Factor 2 – Experience Factor 3 – Past Performance Factor 4 – Safety

Factor 5 – Price - Based on Proposed Task Order 0001

The distinction between corporate experience and past performance is corporate experience pertains to the types of work and volume of work completed by a contractor that are comparable to the types of work covered by this requirement, in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Past performance pertains to both the relevance of recent efforts and how well a contractor has performed on the contracts.

2. The relative order of importance of the non-price evaluation factors:

Factor 1 (Ability to Manage Multiple Simultaneous Projects) will be rated as either Acceptable or Unacceptable. If an Offeror is rated Unacceptable for Factor 1, they will not be eligible for award. Factors 2 through 4 and price will be considered. The technical factors (2 and 4) are of equal importance to each other, respectively, and, when combined, are of equal importance to the performance confidence assessment (Factor 3, Past Performance). The combined non-price 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, or low, 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.

FACTOR 1: ABILITY TO MANAGE MULTIPLE SIMULTANEOUS PROJECTS

a. Proposal Submission Requirements:

The current composition and proposed staffing of the firm to manage multiple simultaneous projects will be evaluated in this factor.

The Offeror shall submit the following information under Tab “1”:

(1) Using Exhibit “A” (Current Composition and Proposed Staffing), provide a narrative describing the current Offeror composition and the proposed staffing if awarded the single contract. Provide the role, responsibilities, and contractual relationships between the various firms (see FAR Subpart 9.6). On a separate sheet, include a simple organizational chart that clearly identifies the lines of authority between the entities. If the experience of an entity is being claimed in Factor 2, that entity must be named in the above narrative and organizational chart.

(2) In addition to the narrative, and if applicable, the Offeror shall submit a signed copy of a joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, teaming agreement, or approved mentor-protégé agreement (MPA).

b. Basis of Evaluation:

The assessment of the Offeror’s current composition and proposed staffing will be used as a means to evaluate the Offeror’s likely ability to manage multiple simultaneous projects. This factor will be rated on an Acceptable or Unacceptable basis.

FACTOR 2: EXPERIENCE (See definition)

a. Proposal Submission Requirements:

Submit Exhibit “B” (Construction Experience Project Data Sheet) under Tab “2.”

Construction Experience:

Submit a maximum of five (5) relevant construction projects for the Offeror that best demonstrate your experience on projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to projects that may be ordered under this contract. For purposes of this evaluation, relevant projects are further defined as heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) alteration, repair, and construction projects and associated work within the construction cost range of $2,000 to $750,000. Projects may include, but are not limited to commercial and institutional buildings and related structures such as office buildings, barracks, fire stations, warehouses, and educational facilities.

In addition, the Offeror shall meet the following minimum requirements:

At least two (2) relevant construction projects shall have a construction cost of $150,000 or more. This refers to the total contract cost if the work was performed by the Offeror as prime contractor, and the subcontract cost if the work was performed by the Offeror as a subcontractor.

At least one project demonstrating self-performed construction experience.

At least one (1) relevant construction project shall have involved the installation of new, or updating of existing, Direct Digital Control (DDC) Systems.

Exhibit “B” must clearly address how the project meets the above requirements.

Projects submitted for the Offeror shall be 100% complete (see definition) within the past five (5) years of the date of issuance of this 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 (Exhibit “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. Individual blocks on this form may be expanded; however, total length for each project data sheet shall not exceed one (1) double-sided page (or two (2) single-sided pages).

For all submitted projects, the description of the project shall clearly describe the scope of work performed and the relevancy to the project requirements of this RFP (how the project meets the requirements listed above).

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 shall be submitted for the Joint Venture members. Offerors who fail to submit experience for all Joint Venture members may be rated lower.

Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.

If an Offeror is utilizing experience information of affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies (name and address is not exactly as stated on the SF1442), the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD firm will have meaningful involvement in the performance of this contract.

Regarding any such submitted project, if the Offeror fails to demonstrate the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD firm’s meaningful involvement in the performance of this contract, the project will not be considered relevant and will not be evaluated.

The Offeror may not utilize experience of a subcontractor to demonstrate construction experience under this evaluation factor.

b. Basis of Evaluation:

The basis of evaluation will include the Offeror’s Team’s demonstrated experience and depth of 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 projects (5) for construction. Any projects submitted in excess of the five (5) for Construction Experience will not be considered.

Offerors who submit relevant projects that demonstrate experience self-performing major construction trade work on two (2) or more relevant construction projects may receive a higher rating than those who do not demonstrate self-performance (see definition).

FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE

a. Proposal Submission Requirements:

Submit Past Performance Questionnaires (Exhibit “C”) and CCASS/ACASS/CPARS evaluations under Tab “2” immediately following each of the project data sheets to which they pertain. Submit any other past performance information under Tab “3.”

If a completed Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS) or Contractor Performance Assessment Rating System (CPARS) evaluation is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal for each project included in Factor 2 for construction experience. If there is not a completed CCASS, ACASS, or CPARS evaluation, submit a Past Performance Questionnaire (Exhibit “C”) 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 should 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 ANTHONY PHILLIPS at Anthony.phillips@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 one (1) double-sided page (or two (2) 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 focuses on how well the Offeror performed on the recent, relevant projects submitted under Factor 2

– Experience. In addition to the above, the Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. 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 Contractors who are part of a partnership or joint venture 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.

The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, the source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the Contractor’s and design firms’ 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.

With respect to relevancy, past performance of greater relevancy will have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably in past performance and will receive a Neutral Confidence rating.

FACTOR 4: SAFETY

a. Proposal Submission Requirements:

Submit Exhibit “D” (Safety Data Sheet / Safety Narrative) under Tab “4.” Individual blocks on this form may be expanded.

For a partnership or joint venture, EMR, DART, and TRC rates are required for each entity that is part of the partnership or joint venture; however, only one safety narrative is required. Rates shall not be submitted for subcontractors.

The Offeror shall submit the following information:

(1) Experience Modification Rate (EMR):

For the three (3) previous complete calendar years (2015, 2016, and 2017), submit your EMR (which compares your company’s annual losses in insurance claims against its policy premiums over a three year period). If you have no EMR, affirmatively state so and explain why. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the EMR and upward or downward trends should be addressed as part of this element. Lower EMRs will be given greater weight in the evaluation.

(2) OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) and Total Recordable Case (TRC) Rates:

For the three (3) previous complete calendar years (2015, 2016, and 2017), submit your OSHA DART rate, as defined by the U. S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration. If you cannot submit an OSHA DART or TRC Rates, affirmatively state so and explain why. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the OSHA DART and TRC Rates and upward or downward trends should be addressed as part of this element.

Lower OSHA DART and TRC Rates will be given greater weight in the evaluation.

(3) Technical Approach to Safety:

Describe the plan that the Offeror will implement to evaluate safety performance of potential subcontractors, as a part of the selection process for all levels of subcontractors. Also, describe any innovative methods that the Offeror will employ to ensure and monitor safe work practices at all subcontractor levels. The Safety narrative shall be limited to two pages.

b. Basis of Evaluation:

The Government is seeking to determine that the Offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to safety and that the Offeror plans to properly manage and implement safety procedures for its self-performed work and the work of its subcontractors. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s overall safety record, the Offeror’s plan to select and monitor subcontractors, and any innovative safety methods that the Offeror plans to implement for this procurement. The Government’s sources of information for evaluating safety will include, but are not limited to:

OSHA, NAVFAC’s Enterprise Safety Applications Management System (ESAMS) database, and other related databases. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete safety information regarding these submittal requirements rests with the Offeror.

The evaluation will collectively consider the following:

Experience Modification Rate (EMR) OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate Total Recordable Cases (TRC) Rate Offeror Technical Approach to Safety Other sources of information available to the Government

(1) Experience Modification Rate (EMR):

The Government will evaluate the EMR to determine if the Offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices taking into account any upward or downward trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rates.

Lower EMRs will be given greater weight in the evaluation.

(2) OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) and Total Recordable Cases (TRC) Rate:

The Government 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 upward or downward trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rates. Lower OSHA DART and TRC Rates will be given greater weight in the evaluation.

(3) Technical Approach to Safety:

The Government 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 projects under this procurement. The Government will also evaluate the narrative to determine the degree to which innovations are being proposed that may enhance safety on projects under this procurement. Those Offerors whose plan demonstrates a commitment to hire subcontractors with a culture of safety and who propose innovative methods to enhance a safe working environment may be given greater weight in the evaluation.

FACTOR 5: PRICE – Based on Proposed Task Order 0001

a. Proposal Submission Requirements:

The Offeror (see definition) shall complete and submit (in a sealed envelope) the following in the order shown below under Tab “5” of the original proposal only.

- Standard Form (SF) 1442 (Solicitation, Offer and Award)

- Bid Bond

With regard to price as shown on the SF 1442, the only Contract Line Item that Offerors are to complete is Line Item 0002 of Section B SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES for Proposed Task Order 0001.

Failure to submit a Bid Bond conforming to the requirements of the solicitation may result in an Offeror's proposal being rejected as unacceptable.

b. Basis of Evaluation:

The price proposal for Proposed Task Order 0001 will be evaluated to determine the reasonableness and completeness of the Offeror’s proposal. The following techniques will be used to ensure a fair and reasonable price:

- Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation.

- Comparison of proposed prices with the independent Government estimate.

In addition, one or more of the following techniques may also be utilized:

- Comparison of proposed prices with available historical information.

- Comparison of proposed prices with resources proposed.
