L-209-H009 NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL ORGANIZATIONAL OR PERSONAL CONFLICT(S) OF

INTEREST (NAVSEA) (APR 2022)

(a) Offerors are reminded that certain existing contractual arrangements may preclude, restrict or limit participation, in whole or in part, either as a subcontractor or as a prime contractor under this competitive procurement. Of primary concern are those contractual arrangements in which the Offeror provides support to other construction and architectural engineering tasking at NUWCDIVNPT that relate to or effect performance of the tasking herein. General guidance may be found in FAR 9.505; however, this guidance is not all-inclusive. The Offeror's attention is directed to the "Organizational Conflict of Interest" (OCI) or similar requirement which may be contained in current or completed contract(s) which prohibits the prime or subcontractor from providing certain supplies or services to the Government as described above during the period of the current "support" contract(s) or for a period after completion of the "support" contract(s). Notwithstanding the existence or non-existence of an OCI or similar requirement in current or completed contract(s), the Offeror shall comply with FAR subpart 9.5 and identify whether an OCI exists and not rely solely on the presence of an OCI or similar requirement.

(b) Offerors also are reminded that certain potential conflicts of interest may arise where an Offeror has unequal access to nonpublic information about a competitor that may provide the Offeror with an unfair competitive advantage and preclude, restrict or limit participation, in whole or in part, either of the individual, subcontractor or prime contractor under this competitive procurement. For example, a potential conflict may arise if former Department of Navy employee(s), subcontractors, or teaming partners of the Offeror may have gained access to nonpublic information about a competitor through participation in previous or ongoing performance or during the solicitation development/source selection process associated with this competitive procurement, and then participates in the formation of the Offeror’s proposal. Other potential conflicts of interest may arise where either the former Department of Navy employee(s), subcontractors, or teaming partners of the Offeror under this competitive procurement set the ground rules for competition; for example, by drafting specifications or assisting in the drafting of the statement of work. General guidance may be found in FAR 3.101 and 9.505; however, this guidance is not all-inclusive.

(c) If an Offeror identifies a potential conflict of interest that exists at any tier, that Offeror is requested to notify the Contracting Officer within 14 days of the date of this solicitation. The Offeror shall provide: (1) the contract or previous source selection’s solicitation number and name and phone number of the Contracting Officer for the contract which gives rise to a potential conflict of interest; (2) a copy of the requirement; (3) the statement of work and technical instruction from the existing contract, as applicable; (4) a brief description of the type of work to be performed by each subcontractor under the competitive procurement; (5) a brief description of the individual’s, subcontractor’s, or teaming partner’s unequal access to nonpublic information about a competitor, which may lead to a conflict of interest in the formation of the Offeror’s proposal, or establishment of ground rules for this competitive procurement, as applicable; (6) an OCI mitigation plan, as applicable; and (7) any additional information the Contracting Officer should consider in making a determination of whether a conflict of interest exists. The Government may independently verify the information received from the Offeror. The requirement to identify potential conflicts of interest as outlined herein continues until contract award. Notwithstanding the above, the Government reserves the right to determine whether a conflict of interest exists based on any information received from any source.

(d) The Government will notify an Offeror of any conflict of interest within 14 days of receipt of all required information. Those Offerors deemed to have a conflict of interest may be ineligible for award. Failure to provide the information in a timely manner does not waive the Government's rights to make a conflict of interest determination. The Offeror is notified that if it expends time and money on proposal preparation, such expenditure is at its own risk regardless of whether the Government determines a personal or organizational conflict of interest does or does not exist.

(e) Any potential prime contractor which proposes an individual, subcontractor, or teaming partner later determined to have a conflict of interest and deemed ineligible to participate in the current competition, may not be granted the opportunity to revise its proposal to remove the ineligible individual, subcontractor or teaming partner. The Government reserves the right to determine which Offerors remain in the competitive range through the normal source selection process.

(f) If the Offeror determines that a potential organizational and/or personal conflict of interest does not exist at any tier, the Offeror shall include a statement to that effect in its response to this solicitation.

The Offeror shall provide OSHA Form 300 Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (with personal identifiable information redacted) and Form 300A Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses for each year 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 to date. If the Offeror’s DART is 3.4 or higher, the Offeror shall describe the circumstances and its response to improve jobsite safety.

5. BASIS FOR AWARD

(a) The Government intends to make multiple awards as a result of this RFP. Awards shall be made to Offeror(s) who are deemed responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104; whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements; and receives a PASS rating on all Pass/Fail criteria.

(b) The Government intends to award without discussions (except for clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)), as permitted by FAR 15.306(a)(3) and FAR 52.215-1. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms and conditions. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions to permit Offerors to revise their proposals.

6. PASS/FAIL EVALUATION

Offerors will be evaluated based on a Pass/Fail rating on the requirements listed below. Offerors must receive a Pass rating under each Pass/Fail Requirement to be eligible for award. A fail on any Pass/Fail requirement may result in no further consideration for award. The Pass/Fail rating criteria are as follows:

1. Company Introduction:

The Government will evaluate the complete description of organizational structure and other relevant information documenting Contractor’s professional practice and areas of specialization.

2. Prior Experience:

The Government will evaluate the completion of three (3) to five (5) Federal Government projects, as the General Contractor, of similar scope to the project types presented in Section 1.2. General Overview with examples. Each project shall have a total value greater than $100,000.

The Government will evaluate whether or not the Offeror has previously performed work that is similar to the type of work covered by this requirement in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Size refers to contract/task order/project dollar value and duration; scope refers to work that is the same or similar to that identified in Section

1.2. General Overview; and complexity refers to performance challenges and environmental conditions similar to those expected to be encountered for the Projects described within section 1.2.

3. Past performance:

The Government will evaluate Past Performance results in an assessment of the Offeror's probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the Offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the construction and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements.

The Government may also use other information such as Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or other data available from Government sources to evaluate an Offeror’s past performance. The Government reserves the right to limit or expand the number of references it decides to contact, and contact references other than those provided by the Offeror.

The Government will initially evaluate whether the Offeror’s past performance is recent. To be considered recent, a past performance reference must include a period of performance no more than three (3) years from the original solicitation date of this solicitation.

The Government will evaluate whether the Offeror’s past performance is relevant or not relevant to the effort to acquired, using the table below:

Rating Description Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and complexities this solicitation requires.

Second, the Government will evaluate the past performance information to determine how well the Offeror performed on prior, relevant contracts. Based on this evaluation, the Government will determine whether the Offeror’s relevant past performance record is a Pass/Fail using the ratings in the table below:

Rating Description Pass Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror’s performance record is unknown.*

Fail Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

*NOTE: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance ratings can be reasonable assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)).

Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “Pass”.

4. Existing Workload:

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s current listing of all projects contracted to perform along with estimated completion dates. If contracts have time extension modifications, the Government will evaluate the reasoning for the time extension provided in the proposal.

5. Staff Qualifications:

The Government will evaluate qualifications of the Offeror’s qualified, trained personnel including resumes, certifications, and any other applicable professional registrations/qualifications as identified in Section 4 above.

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s ability to assign qualified, adequately trained staff to complete and oversee multiple, ongoing construction projects that are the same or similar to those identified in Section 1.2 General Overview. Qualified refers to an individual’s knowledge and prior performance on construction projects that are the same or similar to those identified in 1.2. General Overview . Trained refers to documentation clearly showing an individual’s completion of training courses required to carry out their assigned construction duty based on the USACE EM 385-1-1 requirements and the requirements detailed within Section 4 Pass/Fail requirements above.

6. Safety:

The Government evaluation will collectively consider the following safety information required in section 4 above:

(a) Experience Modification Rate (EMR):

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s EMR to determine if the Offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices. If the Offeror’s EMR is 1.00 or higher, the Government will evaluate the Offeror’s described circumstances and response to improve jobsite safety.

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

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s OSHA DART Rate to determine if the Offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices. If the Offeror’s DART is 3.4 or higher, the Government will evaluate the Offeror’s described circumstances and response to improve jobsite safety.
