“Self-perform” is defined as when the Offeror’s own employees performed the types of work under components 1-3 above. For example, experience should demonstrate that the

Offeror managed its own employees in clearance of UXO and materials considered

MPPEH from operational active military ranges and/or CERCLA MMRP sites, as well as performing inspection, demilitarization/mutilation, certification/verification and recycling of munitions, munitions debris, target scrap and all material considered MPPEH and certifying it as MDAS from operational ranges. Any projects submitted where the

Offeror’s participation was limited to the overall management of subcontractors or teaming members who performed the fieldwork will not be considered relevant experience. Projects where only small arms or small arms ranges are cleared/processed will not be considered specialized experience.

Projects submitted by the Offeror shall be at least 100% physically complete with fieldwork (not counting final report deliverables) within the past ten five (5) years of the date of issuance of this RFP submittal of proposals.

A project is defined as a project self-performed under a single task order or single 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 self-performed under a task order as a project. Additionally, for purposes of this evaluation, a project is defined as:

(i) Work performed for a federal agency and meeting at least one of three requirements in paragraphs (ii), (iii), and/or (iv) below:

(ii) Work performed pursuant to one specific task order of an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) type contract at one site or multiple sites at a single installation or facility; or

(iii) Work performed pursuant to a site specific contract (i.e. a non-ID/IQ contract) for one site or multiple sites within a single installation or facility; or

(iv) Work performed pursuant to a single contract that is not an ID/IQ contract or pursuant to one specific task order of an ID/IQ type contract at multiple installations or facilities.

Offeror refers to the Contractor submitting the proposal as Offeror, including Joint

Ventures, whose name appears in Block 14 of Standard Form (SF) 33 (Solicitation, Offer and Award).

The attached Project Data Sheet, RFP Exhibit C, 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, the page limit for Tab A, Project Data Sheets, will be a maximum of 24 single-sided pages (or 12 double sided pages).

Project Data Sheets shall clearly state all of the following information:

(i) Contract Information: Name and address, contract number and task order number; title; place of performance; award date; contract /task order type

(fixed price, cost reimbursable, etc.); name and address of procuring organization, procuring organization point of contact (POC) name, phone number and email address; technical or program manager’s name, phone number and email address

(ii) Cost: Project dollars; value of award, and final project amount

(iii) Contract Role: Specify if contract/task order was a prime contract/task order or a subcontract to a prime contract. If a subcontract, include prime contractor’s company name, point of contact phone number and email address.

(iv) Description of work performed: Offeror shall clearly describe its primary role/duties in execution of the work (i.e. the major components of the project which were completed by the prime’s staff and major components which were subcontracted). If the Offeror subcontracted portions of the work, describe the oversight performed of the subcontractor(s) on work relevant to this solicitation. If the Offeror was a subcontractor on the project, the description, duration, and cost of the work provided should reflect the work performed by the Offeror as the subcontractor, and not work under the project as a whole.

Description of work performed should include as applicable (a) technical and administrative functions – describe the complexity of functions performed; (b) distinctive and/or unique features of the project; (c) type of action performed;

(d) interaction with range management section/range scheduling; (e) summary of work accomplished and how it relates to work required by this solicitation.

(v) Whether or not the project is 100% fieldwork complete, and the date upon which 100% fieldwork completion was achieved.

For all submitted projects, the description of the project shall clearly describe the scope of work the Offeror self-performed and the relevancy to the project requirements of this

RFP.

If the Offeror is submitting project experience where the Offeror was the subcontractor, the proposal shall clearly identify the work that the Offeror self-performed on the project.

If the Offeror is submitting project experience where the Offeror subcontracted portions of the project to other firms, the Offeror shall clearly identify what work was subcontracted and what work was self-performed.

If the Offeror is proposing as a Joint Venture (JV) or other entity consisting of more than one company, relevant project experience shall be submitted for projects completed by the JV or other entity consisting of more than one company. If the offeror is a JV, and the

JV does not have shared experience, at least one relevant project shall be submitted for each JV member. JV offerors with no shared experience that fail to submit at least one relevant project for each JV member will be rated Unacceptable. If the offeror is not a JV, but the offeror is an entity consisting of more than one company, and the offeror entity has no shared relevant experience, provide at least one relevant project for each individual business entity that makes up the offeror. Offeror entities made up of more than one company, that do not have any shared experience, that fail to submit at least one relevant project for each individual entity that makes up the offeror will be rated

Unacceptable. Refer to 13 CFR §121.103-106 and 13 CFR §125.6 for applicable small business size standards and requirements. Offerors are still required to submit eight (8) projects combined.

For a partnership or joint venture, the Offeror shall submit separate DART rates and TCR for the specified five (5) CY for each contractor who is part of the partnership/joint venture; however, only one safety narrative is required. Any fatalities experienced within this 5-year timeframe must be explained in detail, to include root cause and corrective actions.

NOTE: DART and TCR shall not be submitted for subcontractors.

Volume 2 – Safety shall be tabbed as follows:

OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate:

DART Rate: Submit five (5) previous complete calendar years’ (CY2017, CY2018, CY2019, CY2020, and CY2021) worth of data (not an overall average). If the Offeror has no DART rate, for any year, affirmatively state so and explain why. Should a negative trend occur above moderate risk levels, an acceptable/detailed explanation is required that includes any corrective actions taken for improvement. Lower OSHA DART Rates will be given greater weight in the evaluation. There are no page limitations for submissions under Tab A.

a. DART cases include injuries or illnesses resulting in death, days away from work, and/or restricted work or transfer to another job days beyond the day of injury/illness.

b. Calculation of DART rate: Multiply the total number of DART cases by 200,000, and then divide by the number of employee labor hours worked.

DART RATE = Number of DART Incidents x 200,000

Total Number of Employee Labor Hours Worked

TAB B

Total Case Rate (TCR):

TCR Rate: Submit five (5) previous complete calendar years’ (CY2017, CY2018, CY2019, CY2020, and CY2021) worth of data (not an overall average). If the Offeror has no TCR rate, for any year, affirmatively state so and explain why. Should a negative trend occur above moderate risk levels, an acceptable/detailed explanation is required that includes any corrective actions taken for improvement. Lower TCR Rates will be given greater weight in the evaluation. There are no page limitations for submissions under Tab

B.

a. TCR cases include injuries or illnesses resulting in death, days away from work, restricted work or transfer to another job days beyond the day of injury/illness, medical treatment beyond first aid, or loss of consciousness.

b. Calculation of TCR rate: Multiply the total number of TCR incidents by 200,000, and then divide by the number of employee labor hours worked.

TCR RATE = Number of TCR Incidents x 200,000

Total Number of Employee Labor Hours Worked

TAB C

Technical Approach for Safety:

Technical Approach to Safety: Submit a narrative that addresses the following:

a. Describe the Offeror’s approach to implementing and executing a Safety
