SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD
M.1 BASIS FOR AWARD
1. In accordance with the FAR, 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. 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. 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.
M.3 EVALUATION FACTORS
1. The solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-cost/price factors:
Factor 1 – Corporate Experience Factor 2 – Management & Technical Approach Factor 3 – Safety Factor 4 – Past Performance
2. The relative order of importance of the non-cost/price evaluation factors is the technical factors (Factors 1, 2, and 3) are of equal importance to each other and, when combined are equal in importance to the past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment factor (Factor 4). When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and past performance/performance confidence assessment factor combined (i.e., the non-cost/price evaluation factors) are approximately equal to price.
3. Basis of Evaluation and Submittal Requirements for Each Factor.
(a) Price:
(1) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:
(i) Provide a completed Section B of the solicitation.
(ii) Provide a completed Section J Exhibit Line Item Number (ELIN) Pricing Attachment. There are multiple worksheets within this file that require completion. Proposed prices for Spec Item 3 Labor Cost, Spec Item 3 Material, Spec Item 3 Equipment, Spec Items 1 and 2 On-Site Cost, Off- Site Cost (inclusive of ISWM Disposal Fees for Sub-annex 1503030), and Profit/Fee shall be provided in the same level of detail for all requirements, whether the work is proposed to be accomplished as the prime contractor, subcontractor, or by other means.
(iii) Submit pricing data (Section B and Section J ELINs) in hard copy and in electronic (Microsoft Office Version 2016 compatible) format on CD-ROM. Offerors shall utilize the pricing attachments provided in Section J to submit the ELIN pricing data in the format provided.
Because the pricing evaluation will concentrate on the electronic files submitted, in the event of a discrepancy between the proposal hard copies and the proposal electronic copies, the proposal electronic copies will take precedence.
(iv) Provide a narrative (limited to 15 pages; double-sided printing is allowed; however, each side will be counted as one page) of all costs your firm classifies as direct and indirect and describe the basis and rationale for the proposed amounts. Explain how these costs are allocated to each of the cost elements identified in the Section J ELIN Attachment (Spec Item 3 Labor, Spec Item 3 Material, Spec Item 3 Equipment, Off-Site Cost, etc.).
(2) Basis of Evaluation:
(i) The Government will evaluate price based on proposed ELIN Pricing at the functional
(Annex/Sub-annex, Spec Item, etc.) and elemental (Spec Item 3 Labor, Spec Item 3 Material, Spec Item 3 Equipment, etc.) level, and the total proposed price. Total price consists of the basic requirements and all option items (see Section B of the solicitation). The Government intends to evaluate all options and has included the provision FAR 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options (JUL 1990) in Section M of the solicitation. In accordance with FAR 52.217-5, evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). Analysis will be performed by one or more of the following techniques to ensure a fair and reasonable price:
(a) Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the RFP.
(b) Comparison of proposed prices with the IGE.
(c) Comparison of proposed prices with available historical information.
(d) Comparison of market survey results.
(e) And/or any other methodology deemed appropriate by the Contracting Officer and consistent with FAR 15.404-1.
(ii) Identification of unbalanced pricing including allocation to the ELIN/Sub-ELIN unit prices.
Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more prices at the functional (Annex/Sub-annex, Spec Item, etc.) level, ELIN/sub-ELIN unit prices, or contract line items is significantly overstated or understated. An offer may be rejected if the proposed price is materially unbalanced between line items or sub-line items within a pricing period, or between line items or sub-line items for the basic requirement and any option period.
(iii) Any suspected issues or concerns in the price proposal, including any inconsistent pricing submitted within Section B and the Section J ELIN attachment.
(iv) Any inconsistency, whether real or apparent, between proposed performance and price must be clearly explained in the price proposal. For example, if unique and innovative approaches are the basis for an apparently unbalanced/inconsistently priced proposal, the nature of these approaches and their impact on price must be completely documented. It is the responsibility of the offeror to provide all required documentation.
(v) The analysis may consider whether prices are realistic in relation to the work to be performed, reflect a clear understanding of the requirements, and are consistent with other portions of the offeror’s proposal. A price that is found either unreasonably high or unrealistically low in relation to the proposed work may be indicative of an inherent lack of understanding of the solicitation requirements and may result in the overall proposal not being considered for award.
(b) Non-cost/price Factors:
The offeror’s response to factors that require the submission of Experience Narrative and Past Performance shall be based on the following relevancy definition:
RELEVANT PROJECT: Relevant projects include those that demonstrate the capability to perform services similar in size, scope, and complexity to those described in the performance work statement/specifications of the RFP with a contract value of $300,000.00 per year or greater and shall be: 1) ongoing with at least 12 months of contract performance completed by the date of receipt of proposals, or 2) shall be completed within the last five (5) years. For purposes of this evaluation, a relevant project is further defined as Multi-Function Support Services (MFSS) services (or equivalent) that encompass at least two of the following:
a. 1502000 – Facility Investment similar to the requirements of the RFP (at minimum, including experience with Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), HVAC Systems and completion of service orders).
b. 1501030 – Custodial similar to the requirements of the RFP.
c. 1503030 – Integrated Solid Waste Management similar to the requirements of the RFP.
d. 1503050 – Grounds Maintenance and Landscaping similar to the requirements of the RFP.
Complexity will be determined based on the projects’ contract type, facilities maintained (size, quantity and type), systems maintained (quantities and capacities), program structure (combination of Preventive Maintenance Program, service orders, other recurring services) and grounds maintained (size, quantity and type).
(1) Factor 1, Corporate Experience:
(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The offeror shall submit a minimum of two (2) to a maximum of five (5) examples of recent, relevant projects that the offeror (including joint ventures and partnerships) completed and served as the prime contractor. The offeror’s submitted projects must aggregately demonstrate experience self-performing or managing the following annexes/sub-annexes: 1502000 – Facility Investment similar to the requirements of the RFP (at minimum, including experience with Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), HVAC Systems, and completion of service orders); 1503010 – Custodial similar to the requirements of the RFP; and 1503030 – Integrated Solid Waste Management similar to the requirements of the RFP. For each project the offeror shall submit a completed Attachment JM-1, Corporate Experience Project Data Sheet. All information shall be provided as requested on the form. Attachment JM-1 may be expanded and is not limited to the two (2) pages provided with the solicitation.
If the offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), submit recent, relevant projects completed by the JV entity. If the JV does not have such experience, at least one relevant project shall be submitted for each JV member (except for offerors covered by Mentor-Protégé Agreements approved by the Small Business Administration). JV offerors are still limited to a maximum of five (5) recent, relevant projects.
If a submitted project was performed by a JV and not all members from the prior JV are proposing on this solicitation, the offeror shall clearly demonstrate what portion of the work was performed by the JV member proposing on this solicitation.
An offeror may rely on the prime contractor experience of corporate affiliates (e.g., subsidiaries, sister companies and parent companies) to demonstrate experience, provided the offeror submits the following:
a. A one-page narrative clearly demonstrating that the corporate affiliates will have meaningful participation in the project by identifying the personnel or resources from the corporate affiliates that will be dedicated to the project; and
b. An organization chart that demonstrates the corporate relationship of the affiliates.
(ii) Basis of Evaluation: For experience, the Government will evaluate the offeror’s demonstrated relevant experience and depth of relevant experience of the offeror as a prime contractor directly responsible to the owner;
managing multiple subcontractors and coordinating with multiple stakeholders. 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.
Projects completed by the offeror or its corporate affiliates (e.g., subsidiaries, sister companies, and parent companies) in any capacity other than as prime contractor will be considered not relevant.
Projects completed by a proposed subcontractor will be considered not relevant.
Projects submitted by JVs where the JV members performed together may be evaluated more favorably than projects in which the JV members did not perform together.
With the exception of offerors covered by Mentor-Protégé Agreements approved by the Small Business Administration, if the offeror is a JV, each member of the JV must demonstrate prime contractor experience on at least one relevant project. If each member of the JV does not have at least one relevant experience project, then the offeror will be considered unacceptable.
Offerors who demonstrate experience without relying on corporate affiliates (e.g., subsidiaries, sister companies, and parent companies) may be evaluated more favorably.
Offerors who fail to aggregately demonstrate relevant experience in the three following annexes/sub-annexes will be considered unacceptable: 1502000 – Facility Investment similar to the requirements of the RFP (at minimum, including experience with IDS, HVAC Systems, and completion of service orders); 1503010 – Custodial similar to the requirements of the RFP; and 153030 – Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) similar to the requirements of the RFP.
Offerors who demonstrate experience self-performing or managing ISWM requirements in multiple states, either on one project or aggregately throughout submitted projects, may be evaluated more favorably. Offerors who demonstrate relevant experience in sub-annexes 1503020 – Pest Control, 1503050 – Grounds Maintenance and Landscaping, 1503060 – Pavement Clearance, or performing service orders for multiple functions/sub-annexes that are similar to the requirements of the RFP, may be evaluated more favorably.
For multiple award contracts (MACs) or indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts, the specific relevant task order, not the entire MAC or IDIQ contract, will be considered a project for evaluation purposes.
(2) Factor 2, Management & Technical Approach:
(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:
a. Attachment JL-1: Provide labor hours for the entire contract effort by submitting a completed
Attachment JL-1 Labor Hours worksheet (MS Excel, Microsoft Office Version 2016 compatible) for the total effort to include the prime contractor, affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies, and all subcontractors for the base period and option period 1. Provide the number of labor hours proposed for performing each technical specification item as provided on Attachment JL-1.
b. Narrative: Provide a narrative of your rationale for the Basis of Estimate (BOE) according to the annual labor hours for each technical specification to include individual labor classifications. Explain the methodology used to develop the number of labor hours per period and state the estimate data source(s) (such as RS Means Facilities Maintenance & Repair Cost Data, CBRE Facilities Maintenance & Repair Cost Data, etc.). Your narrative shall include how the proposed approach and labor hours will effectively achieve each performance objective and associated performance standard(s) for each technical specification, at multiple locations, with differing state regulations, while coordinating, managing, and supervising workforce personnel across all technical specifications simultaneously. Additionally, the narrative shall describe the methodology for service orders (all types) and demonstrate an understanding of all limits of liability identified in each respective spec item. The narrative shall also describe how the offeror will staff the organization including the relationship between overall management (corporate and on-site), administration, affiliates/subsidiaries/parent /LLC/LTD member companies, and subcontractors to include Spec Items 1, 2, 3, and 4 personnel.
c. Phase-In and Phase-Out Plans. Provide an approach to each phase-in and phase-out plan. The phase-in plan is limited to no more than 30 calendar days. The plans shall include: 1) a schedule for all key events;
2) personnel actions and responsibilities regarding employees at all levels; and 3) acquisition, delivery, storage, inventory and disposal of equipment, working stock, and materials (to include inbound items as applicable).
d. Scheduling: Provide the methodology used to determine if/when, there is a need to manage fluctuations in recurring workload, handling workload surges for non-recurring work, task orders and natural disasters in accordance with DFARS Clause 252.232-7007. Any proposed methodology shall minimize interference with normal Government working hours.
(ii) Basis of Evaluation: Factor 2 will be evaluated as an overall factor with no sub-factors. The
Government will evaluate the degree to which the offeror’s management and technical approach:
a. The Government will evaluate how well the offeror’s approach demonstrates adequate labor hours on an overall level, as well as for each technical specification (and each specification item) supported by a reasonable Basis of Estimate (BOE), and demonstrates a reasonable understanding of the requirements and labor quantities and skills needed to successfully perform. Offerors who fail to provide a completed hard copy and MS Excel (Microsoft Office Version 2016 compatible) version of the Attachment JL-1 for the total effort to include the prime contractor, affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies, and all subcontractors for the base period and option period 1 will be considered unacceptable. Offerors who fail to demonstrate an understanding of the differing state regulations applicable to the ISWM requirements may be rated less favorably or considered unacceptable. Offerors who propose labor hours without a logical explanation of how they will be able to perform at the proposed staffing level may be evaluated less favorably or considered unacceptable.
b. The methodology presents an efficient approach that ensures best industry practices are applied to accomplish all requirements. The approach demonstrates a reasonable understanding of the scheduling, logistics and phase-in & phase-out plan requirements needed to successfully perform. Offerors who propose an approach which does not demonstrate a reasonable likelihood the work will be performed in accordance with the requirements of the RFP may be evaluated less favorably or considered unacceptable. Approaches that exceed the Government’s requirement may be evaluated more favorably.
(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, DART and TRC Rates shall not be submitted for subcontractors.) A copy of the blank Safety Data Sheet to be used for submission is provided as Attachment JM-2.
a. Experience Modification Rate (EMR): Include three previous complete calendar years’ (2017, 2018, 2019) worth of data. 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. Address all extenuating circumstances that affected the EMR and established negative trends as part of the factor submission.
b. OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate and Total
Recordable Case (TRC) Rate: Submit three previous complete calendar years’ (2017, 2018, 2019) worth of data. If an offeror cannot submit an OSHA DART and TRC rate, for any year, affirmatively state so and an explanation must be provided. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the OSHA DART and TRC rate data negatively must be addressed as part of this factor submission.
c. 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 pages (double-sided printing is allowed; however, each side will be counted as one page).
(ii) Basis of Evaluation: The evaluation will collectively consider the following:
- Experience Modification Rate (EMR)
- OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART)
- Total Recordable Case (TRC) Rates
- Offeror Technical Approach to Safety
- Other sources of information available to the Government
a. Experience Modification Rate (EMR): For the three previous complete calendar years, the offeror will submit EMR. If no EMR exists, the offeror may submit an insurance company-provided equivalent rate explaining why not. If an insurance company-provided equivalent rate is provided, it will be treated the same as an EMR. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the EMR and negative trends should be addressed as part of this selection factor. The board will evaluate the EMR to determine if the offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices taking into account any negative trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rating.
b. OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) and Total Recordable
Case (TRC) Rates: For the three previous complete calendar years, the offeror will submit their OSHA DART and TRC, as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration. If unable to submit OSHA DART and TRC rates, affirmatively state so, and an explanation must be provided. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the OSHA DART and TRC rate data and negative trends should be addressed as part of this element. The board 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 trends and extenuating circumstances that impact rates.
c. Technical Approach for Safety: The offeror will describe their plan to evaluate their safety performance and that of potential 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 (double-sided printing is allowed; however, each side will be counted as one page). The board 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 board will evaluate the narrative to determine the degree to which innovations are being proposed that may enhance safety on this procurement and validate the contractor has addressed methodology to be used in the execution of an effective program that facilitates sound mishap prevention techniques/processes, employee reporting of unsafe conditions, unsafe activities, and near-miss mishaps. 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.
d. Other Sources of Information Available to the Government: Other sources for safety may include but are not limited to OSHA data, NAVFAC’s Contractor Incident Reporting System (CIRS) in Enterprise Safety Applications Management System (ESAMS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and other related databases.
(4) Factor 4, Past Performance:
(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: If a completed CPARS evaluation is available for each project submitted in response to Factor 1, it shall be submitted with the proposal. If there is not a completed 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 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 the proposal closing date, the offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ (provided as Attachment JM-3), 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, Cari Fiebach, via email at cari.fiebach@navy.mil (with a copy to Courtney Peterson at courtney.j.peterson@navy.mil) prior to the 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.
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 Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) using all CAGE/Entity Identifier 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.
(ii) Basis of Evaluation: The Government will evaluate how well the offeror performed on the recent, relevant projects submitted under Factor 1, Corporate Experience, and on other recent, relevant contracts documented in known sources. There are three aspects of the past performance evaluation: recency, relevancy, and quality. The first is to evaluate the recency of the offeror’s past performance. The second aspect is to determine the relevancy of the offeror’s past performance. For purposes of this evaluation, the criteria identified in Factor 1, Corporate Experience will be utilized in determining relevancy. The third aspect is to evaluate the overall quality of the offeror’s past performance and how well the offeror performed on the projects. The past performance evaluation does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the offeror’s past performance on past contracts; rather, the past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the offeror performed on those past contracts.
The Government will evaluate the degree to which past performance evaluations and all other past performance information reviewed by the Government (e.g., CPARS, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), 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.); and
Recency/relevancy (as defined for Factor 1) of tasks performed that are identical to, similar to, or related to the task at hand
In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past contract performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance in accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv). In this case, the offeror’s past performance is unknown and assigned a confidence rating of “neutral.”
