III. EVALUATION
A. BASIS FOR AWARD
1. In accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation, 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.
2. As stated in the solicitation, the 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.
3. 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.
4. As stated in the solicitation, all technical factors when combined are of equal importance to the performance confidence assessment (past performance) rating; and all technical factors and the performance confidence assessment (past performance) rating, when combined, are approximately equal to price.
5. Any proposal found to have a deficiency in meeting the stated solicitation requirements or performance objectives will be considered ineligible for award, unless the deficiency is corrected through discussions. Proposals may be found to have either a significant weakness or multiple weaknesses that impact either the individual factor rating or the overall rating for the proposal. The evaluation report must document the evaluation board’s assessment of the identified weakness(s) and the associated risk to successful contract performance resulting from the weakness(s). This assessment must provide the rationale for proceeding to award without discussions.
B. Intentionally left blank
C. Intentionally left blank
D. Intentionally left blank
E. Intentionally left blank
F. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD
1. The solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-price factors:
Factor 1 – Experience Factor 2 – Technical Solution Factor 3 – Safety Factor 4 – Small Business Utilization Factor 5 – 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.
2. The relative order of importance of the non-price evaluation factors is the technical factors (Factors 1, 2, 3, and 4) are of equal importance to each other and, when combined are equal in importance to the past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment factor (Factor 5). 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.
3. Basis of Evaluation and Submittal Requirements for Each Factor.

(1) Experience:
Submit Construction Experience Data Sheets for a minimum of (2) two to a maximum of (5) five construction projects that the offeror completed and served as the prime construction contractor that best demonstrates experience on relevant projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to the RFP.
For purposes of this evaluation, a relevant project is further defined as: Relevant projects include those that demonstrate construction capability on combined airfield paving and airfield lighting projects with a construction value of $30M or greater. The airfield paving portion of a project must utilize slip form paving and be valued at $10M or greater and the airfield lighting portion of the project must be valued at $5M or greater. Projects must have been completed by the offeror within approximately the last seven (7) years of the date of issuance of this RFP.
*Note: Maximum of five (5) projects may be submitted.
Provide a narrative describing the proposed primary construction firm and the primary subcontractors (airfield paving and airfield lighting) for this contract and the rationale for proposing this arrangement. The technical narrative shall not exceed one (1) double-sided page or two (2) single-sided pages.
Submitted construction projects must have been performed under a single task order or stand-alone contract. For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the contract as a whole shall not be submitted as a project. Offerors shall submit the work performed under a single task order or stand-alone contract as a project.
The attached Construction Experience Project Data Sheet (Attachment C) is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information. 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 (i.e.: unique features, area, construction methods).
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 each Joint Venture partner. Offerors who fail to submit experience for all Joint Venture partners may be rated lower. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.
(ii) Basis of Evaluation:
RELEVANT PROJECT: Relevant projects include those that demonstrate construction capability on combined airfield paving and airfield lighting projects with a construction value of $30M or greater. The airfield paving portion of a project must utilize slip form paving and be valued at $10M or greater and the airfield lighting portion of the project must be valued at $5M or greater. Projects must have been completed by the offeror within approximately the last seven (7) years of the date of issuance of this RFP.
The basis of evaluation will include the Offeror’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 (5) projects.
Relevant projects where the Offeror and the proposed primary subcontractor(s) (airfield paving and/or lighting) have previously worked together may be considered more favorably.
(2) Factor 2, Technical Solution:
(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:
I. Technical Narrative
Provide a narrative describing the technical approach to the project that meets the requirements of the RFP.
Narrative shall focus on the following:
- Approach to safely and successfully completing the project within the requirements in Specification Section 01 14 00.00 25 WORK RESTRICTIONS and on Phasing plan drawing sheets, PH100, PH101 and PH102.
- Identify the major challenges to performing the work in accordance with the required work restrictions and construction phasing in the RFP. Describe the preventative measures and/or specific steps the offeror will take to mitigate the impacts of these challenges.
- Approach to delivering paving materials to the project site while maintaining all the material quality requirements identified in the contract documents.
Narrative shall not exceed one (1) double-sided page or two (2) single-sided pages. Up to three (3) conceptual drawings may be provided to supplement the narrative (i.e. site plans and coordination drawings).
II. Schedule
Provide a Critical Path Method (CPM) time scaled logic diagram and schedule reports showing critical path activities using software applications such as SURTRACK or Primavera Project Planner. This schedule shall include key milestones and activities, including submittals, procurement, major construction items, Quality Control and Testing, work requirements as specified in Specification Section 01 14 00.00 25 WORK RESTRICTIONS along with project phasing requirements as specified on Phasing plan drawing sheets PH100, PH101 and PH102. The awardees proposed schedule will become the basis for the contractor’s initial schedule submission as outlined in Specification Section 01 32 17.00 25 NETWORK ANALYSIS SCHEDULES.
(ii) Basis of Evaluation:
The Government will evaluate the narrative and schedule considering the extent to which the Offeror demonstrates a clear understanding of the requirements of the project. The Government will evaluate the effectiveness of the technical approach to determine the likelihood that the work will be performed in accordance with the requirements of the RFP. A technical approach which provides benefit to the government by one of the following prioritized items (listed in order of importance) while also maintaining all requirements of the RFP may be evaluated more favorably for this factor:
Reduced construction duration for Phase 2b Reduced construction duration for Phase 2a Reduced regular work day schedule to 16 hrs/day
(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 and DART Rates shall not be submitted for subcontractors.):
(1) Experience Modification Rate (EMR): For the three (3) previous complete calendar years 2011, 2012, and 2013, submit your EMR (which compares your company’s annual losses in insurance claims against its policy premiums over a three (3) 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) Rate: For the three (3) previous complete calendar years 2011, 2012, and 2013, submit your OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate, as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration. If you cannot submit an OSHA DART Rate, affirmatively state so, and explain why. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the OSHA DART Rate data and upward or downward trends should be addressed as part of this element. Lower OSHA DART Rates will be given greater weight in the evaluation.
(3) Technical Approach for 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 one (1) double-sided page or two
(2) single-sided pages.
(ii) 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 itself and its subcontractors. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s overall safety record, the Offeror’s plan to select and monitor subcontractors, any and innovative safety methods that the Offeror plans to implement for this procurement. The Government’s sources of information for evaluating safety may include, but are not limited to, OSHA, NAVFAC’s Enterprise Safety Applications Management System (ESAMS), Naval Engineering Training and Operating Procedure and Standard (NETOPS) 23, 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
- 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 rating. Lower EMRs will be given greater weight in the evaluation.
(2) OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate: The Government will evaluate the OSHA DART Rate 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 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 the upcoming project. The Government will also evaluate the narrative to determine the degree to which innovations are being proposed that may enhance safety on 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.
(4) Factor 4, Small Business Utilization:
Definitions: “SB” as used herein, is intended to include Small Business concerns, Small Disadvantaged Business concerns (SDB), Women-Owned Small Business concerns (WOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone Small Business concerns (HUBZone), Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns (VOSB), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns (SDVOSB). All small business programs are self-certifying programs with the exception of HUBZone certifications, see HUBZone SB Certifications below. Small Business Program requirements and definitions may be found in the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), Part 19.
HUBZone SB Certifications: Offerors are reminded that HUBZone SB concerns must obtain formal certification from the Small Business Administration (SBA) if they expect to receive the evaluation benefits associated with the HUBZone SB programs either as a prime or subcontractor(s). For more information on the HUBZone SB certification requirements and available benefits, contact your local SBA representative. Certified HUBZone SB firms are listed on the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) website at http://web.sba.gov/pro-net/search/dsp_dsbs.cfm. It is the responsibility of the prime contractor to periodically check the DSBS as certifications are subject to change.

Projects must have been completed by the offeror within approximately the last seven (7) years of the date of issuance of this RFP.
IF A COMPLETED CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORT SYSTEM (CPARS)
EVALUATION IS AVAILABLE, IT SHALL BE SUBMITTED WITH THE PROPOSAL. IF THERE IS NOT A COMPLETED CPARS EVALUATION, the NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire (Form PPQ-0) (PPQ) (Attachment G) 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, Experience. AN OFFEROR SHALL NOT
SUBMIT A PPQ WHEN A COMPLETED CPARS IS AVAILABLE.
IF A CPARS EVALUATION IS NOT AVAILABLE, ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed PPQs should be submitted with your 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 G), 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 Government's point of contact, Dianne L. Haymans, via email, at dianne.haymans@navy.mil, prior to proposal closing date.
Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs or CPARS previously submitted for other RFPs.
However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.
Also include performance recognition documents received within the last 10 years such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.
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.
A copy of the blank NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire (Form PPQ-0) to be used for requesting client references is included as Attachment G.
(ii) Basis of Evaluation: The degree to which past performance evaluations and all other past performance information reviewed by the Government (e.g., PPIRS, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), performance recognition documents, and information obtained from any other source) reflect a trend of satisfactory performance considering:
- A pattern of successful completion of tasks;
- A pattern of deliverables that are timely and of good quality;
- A pattern of cooperativeness and teamwork with the Government at all levels (task managers, contracting officers, auditors, etc.);
- Recency of tasks performed that are identical to, similar to, or related to the task at hand; and
- A respect for stewardship of Government funds
