5.0 SELECTION AND ANALYSIS

NASA SSC is dedicated to the OSHA VPP. This dedication will manifest itself in compliance with OSHA regulations and safety and health management systems that will result in discovery of deficiencies and an expectation of safety success. Activities or conditions that may be acceptable in other organizations may not be acceptable at NASA SSC. It is imperative, and in the best interest of the contractor, to read and understand this SCWI and the associated requirements prior to the start of any projects.

1. NASA SSC shall maintain a comprehensive review process that all contractors are required to undergo regardless of the type of contract. The extent of each analysis is dependent upon the scope of work, type of activities, and risks involved. To facilitate the process, NASA

SMA shall utilize form SSC-882 to record the review of each construction contractor’s solicitation submittals and present those findings to the NASA Office of Procurement.

2. At NASA SSC, construction contractors that hire subcontractors shall maintain an equally effective selection and analysis process. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of Safety and Health specifications, review of injury/illness statistics, and training.

3. Prior to completing a solicitation bid, the contractor shall obtain:

a. A copy of this SCWI.

b. Specific NASA SSC SCWIs as applicable through the NASA SSC Construction Safety

Web page at http://constructionsafety.ssc.nasa.gov.

4. The process used to select and analyze contractors by Onsite Prime Contractors shall be as effective as the NASA SSC process.

5.1 Solicitation Bid

At the time of solicitation, the following information shall be submitted to the Procurement

Office for review by NASA SSC SMA:

1. All requested documents identified within the Safety and Health Specifications.

2. All related documents listed in the NASA SSC Safety and Health Specifications under SD-01

(Preapproval Submittals), SD-03 (Product Data), SD-07 (Certificates), and SD-11 (Closeout

Submittals).

5.2 Analysis Process

NASA SSC uses an evaluation process to determine the status and condition of a contractor’s safety and health program. The results of the evaluation help NASA SSC ascertain if the contractor has an acceptable understanding of managing an effective safety and health program.

1. The SSC SMA Directorate shall review all the specification submittals by the contractor to determine if the correct information was submitted and what, if any, deficiencies exist. A

Work

Instruction

SCWI-8715-0008 Rev F Number Rev.1

Effective Date: March 17, 2015

Expiration Date: March 17, 2020 rating system will be utilized to rank the contractor’s safety and health program along with other performance metrics. This information is forwarded to the Contracting Officer on form

SSC-882 (Contractor Safety and Health Evaluation).

2. All contractors shall be required to submit safety and health information listed in the specifications.

3. After a contractor has been awarded a contract, revision of their safety and health program may still be necessary to ensure a state of readiness for the project. This requirement is also applicable to all contractors. See Section 5.3.

4. The contractor shall make all reasonable changes to meet NASA and OSHA requirements. It is expected that the revised actions strengthen the overall injury and illness prevention effort for the current project and any future work.

5.3 Revision and Safety Plan (Post Award)

1. When necessary, NASA SSC SMA will request additional work by the contractor to address program deficiencies, OSHA noncompliance, or critical improvements deemed necessary for the project. During this period, the contractor can schedule a meeting with SMA to clarify expectations. When the contractor believes they have addressed the critical deficiencies, they can request a second analysis by NASA SSC SMA.

2. Safety and health “revision” requirements shall be achieved to the satisfaction of SMA before a contractor is allowed to work in the field or mobilize onsite.

5.4 Disclaimer

NASA SSC SMA is not responsible for regulatory compliance and other safety and health deficiencies that are not disclosed or discovered, or that are misunderstood, during the evaluation process. It is the responsibility of the contractor to read and understand all of the safety and health policies and procedures provided, and to fully understand and comply with applicable governmental regulations related to their business and the project. NASA will not be liable to reimburse or increase funding to cover expenses incurred by discoveries of noncompliance or unforeseen and/or misunderstood compliance responsibilities of the contractor.
