THE FOLLOWING EVALUATION FACTORS ARE APPLICABLE ONLY TO THOSE OFFERORS

WHO ARE SELECTED TO PROCEED TO PHASE TWO OF THE SOURCE SELECTION PROCESS.

DO NOT SUBMIT TABS 3 THROUGH 5 IN THE PHASE 1 (QUALIFICATION PHASE) PROPOSALS.

Phase Two:

Financial Questionnaire (Original in sealed envelope from financial institution in original proposal binder only) Tab 3 – Safety (see section 00210 for details) Tab 4 – Small Business Participation (see section 00210 for details) Tab 5 – Price (see section 00210 for details)

Phase One proposals shall be submitted electronically using the Department of Defense (DoD) Secure Access File Exchange (SAFE) service at https://safe.apps.mil, via the “Drop-off” feature. DoD SAFE is the only electronic commerce method authorized for the submission of Phase One proposals in response to this solicitation.

Submissions outside of DoD SAFE will not be considered.

Instructions for submission of Phase One proposals using the DoD SAFE “Drop-off” feature are provided below:

1. There are no user accounts for DoD SAFE. In order to submit a proposal in response to this solicitation, Offerors shall submit their point of contact (POC) name and email address via email to both the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer identified below to obtain a “Request Code” for DoD SAFE “Drop-off” of the Phase One proposal.

Contract Specialist: Christopher Rosario Email: christopher.rosario@navy.mil Contracting Officer: Michelle Sanders Email: michelle.sanders@navy.mil

Note: The Government does not intend to respond to emails for drop-off request codes submitted less than 10 calendar days before the proposal due date shown in the solicitation.

2. No later than 4 calendar days prior to the proposal due date, the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer will send a “Request Code” to the Offeror’s specified POC via the email address provided. Only the Offeror’s identified POC will be able to drop off the proposal or proposal revisions in DoD SAFE. Failure to provide accurate POC information will preclude the Offeror from using DoD SAFE.

3. Offerors are instructed to submit their complete Phase One proposal in one (1) single file, formatted in

Portable Document Format (PDF) with a .pdf file extension.

4. To submit the proposal, the Offeror will go to the DoD SAFE website at https://safe.apps.mil, accept the user agreement, click “Drop-off,” and enter the 12-digit “Request Code” that was provided by the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer. The system will allow for inclusion of a short note to the Government recipient. The Offeror will then click to add their proposal file, or drag and drop the file. Click “Drop-off Files” to send the file to the Government recipient. Confirm that the file does not contain classified information and click “OK.” Once the file is uploaded, an email will be sent to the Government recipient notifying them of the “drop-off.” [Additional details can be viewed in the DoD SAFE User Guide available at https://safe.apps.mil/about.php]. The DoD SAFE system will record the date and time of proposal submission.

The date and time of proposal submission recorded in DoD SAFE shall govern the timeliness of any proposal submission.

LATE SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

It is an Offeror’s responsibility, when transmitting its proposal electronically, to ensure the proposal’s timely delivery by transmitting the proposal sufficiently in advance of the time set for receipt of proposals to allow for timely receipt by the Government no later than the date and time stated in Block 13 of the SF1442. Offerors shall allow adequate time to upload files, which may be slower for non-DoD users, and to avoid other technical difficulties that may be encountered. An Offeror risks the late receipt and rejection of a proposal where it delays transmitting its proposal until the last few minutes before the time set for receipt of proposals. Proposals that are received after the stated date and time in Block 13 of the SF1442 will not be considered.

Offerors are responsible for submitting their proposal in the format specified, consistent with requirements stated elsewhere in this solicitation. Offerors are asked to submit only the information/exhibits required. Page limits, if stipulated, must be adhered to. Files that cannot be opened, or are otherwise missing the required content are the responsibility of the Offeror.

The maximum allowable file size for DoD SAFE is 8GB. DoD SAFE recommends using Firefox, Chrome, or Edge browsers. Internet Explorer is not recommended. Please note that Internet Explorer limits uploads to 2GB.

No Assumptions: This is a firm fixed price contract, and any assumptions made by the offeror in its proposal will not be binding on the Government. The offeror will not be entitled to any equitable adjustments based on assumptions made by the offeror in its proposal. If the Scope of Work is not clear, submit your request for clarification as a RFI.

Representations and Certifications and Financial Questionnaires will not be rated. However, they will be considered in assessing the Offeror’s responsibility.

3. Pre-Proposal Conference

(a) A pre-proposal conference and site visit will not be conducted at this time.

1. Failure of a prospective Offeror to submit any questions will be construed to mean that the Offeror fully understands all requirements of the solicitation.

2. All prospective Offerors are advised that this solicitation will remain unchanged unless it is amended in writing. Amendments will be posted on the beta.sam.gov website at https://beta.sam.gov under Contract Opportunities. However, if an amendment is issued, normal procedures relating to the acknowledgment and receipt of any such amendment as described in Contract Clause “Amendment to Solicitations” of this section shall be applicable.

4. Financial Questionnaire

Offerors shall submit the Financial Questionnaire to their financial institution and request the financial institution complete the questionnaire with regard to the Offeror’s firm. Upon completion of the questionnaire, the financial institution should place the completed questionnaire in a sealed envelope showing the return address of the financial institution and forward it to the Offeror so that the Offeror can include the questionnaire (in the sealed envelope) with the Offeror’s Phase Two proposal.

If the Offeror is a joint venture, information should be submitted for the joint venture. If there is no information for the joint venture, information should be submitted for each joint venture partner.

5. System for Award Management

Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) when submitting an offer and prior to award of a DoD contract. In order to participate on this solicitation, contractors must also complete electronic representations and certifications. For more information and to complete the electronic Reps & Certs, see the SAM website at http://www.sam.gov. A contract cannot be awarded to a contractor not registered in SAM.

Remember to review the NAICS codes listed in your SAM record and make sure that you have listed the NAICS code for this procurement.

Note: Offerors must complete and submit Section 00600 of the RFP as part of their proposal even if the Offeror is registered in SAM. Section 00600 of the RFP contains clauses which are not found in the electronic Reps & Certs in SAM; therefore, we require them to be completed and submitted as part of your proposal. The clauses found in Section 00600 of the RFP are also broken out as a separate form titled “Section 00600 –Representations and Certifications” which can be found with the other RFP Exhibits.

6. Federal Contractor Reporting

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 22.13, any contractor or subcontractor with a contract or subcontract with the Federal Government of $150,000 or more that was entered into on or after October 1, 2015 (or $100,000 or more that was entered prior to October 1, 2015) must take affirmative action to hire and promote qualified covered veterans which includes, special disabled veterans, veterans of the Vietnam-era, recently separated veterans, and any other veterans who served on active duty during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized.

If subject to the reporting requirements, companies must file an annual VETS-4212 Report, which shows the number of covered veterans in their workforce and number of new hires, including covered veterans hired during the reporting period.

VETS-4212 Reports must be filed between August 1 and September 30 of each year following a calendar year in which a contractor or subcontractor held a covered contract or subcontract.

Upon the successful submission of a VETS-4212 report, federal contractors will receive an email confirmation of receipt notification for their records. Offerors shall include a copy of their confirmation notification email in their proposal as verification of submission for the current reporting period. DO NOT SUBMIT A COPY OF THE REPORT ITSELF. If this requirement is not applicable to your firm, provide a statement that your firm does not have any contracts subject to this requirement.

A contract cannot be awarded to a contractor that has not submitted a required annual form VETS- 4212, Federal Contractor Veterans’ Employment Report (VETS-4212 Report) if subject to the reporting requirements of 38 U.S.C. 4212(d) for that fiscal year.

7. Incurred Expenses

The proposal shall contain both the Joint Venture Agreement and the SBA letter of approval for the Mentor Protégé Agreement, showing the approval is valid as of the date of the proposal submission.

SECTION 00210

BASIS OF AWARD AND EVALUATION FACTORS

1. BASIS OF AWARD

Selection of the best value Offeror will be accomplished using the tradeoff source selection process as described in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.101-1, along with the prequalification of sources procedures of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 236.272. This process allows for a tradeoff between non-price factors and price and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal or other than the highest technically rated proposal to achieve a best-value contract award.

The Phase I (Qualifications Phase) non-price proposal will address the Offeror’s experience and past performance.

In accordance with DFARS 236.272, prequalification will result in a list of sources determined to be qualified to perform the specific construction contract.

Phase II of the solicitation will be comprised of a technical and price proposal, which will be evaluated separately in accordance with FAR Part 15. The Phase II proposal will address the Offeror’s safety program, small business participation, and price.

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.

The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all Offerors 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.

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.

OFFERORS ARE ADVISED THAT IT IS DEFINITELY POSSIBLE THAT AN AWARD MAY BE MADE

WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS OR ANY CONTACT CONCERNING THE PROPOSALS RECEIVED.

Therefore, proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable price and technical terms. Offerors should not assume that they would be contacted or afforded the opportunity to qualify, discuss, or revise their proposal.

2. DEFINITIONS

DEFICIENCY: A material failure of a proposal to meet a solicitation requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

WEAKNESS: A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

SIGNIFICANT WEAKNESS: A flaw in the proposal that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

STRENGTH: An aspect of a proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

ACCEPTABLE FEATURES: A proposed method or technique in the proposal that addresses solicitation requirements such that no further explanation or documentation is necessary.

PAST PERFORMANCE: Relates to how well an Offeror has performed; e.g., the quality of work accomplished, schedule compliance, customer satisfaction.

EXPERIENCE: Pertains to work performed by an Offeror within the prescribed timeframe, which is the same or similar to the work that may be ordered under this contract in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Experience is distinct from past performance (how well an Offeror has performed).

PROJECT: A design-build or design-bid-build construction activity or task, with a single starting point and a single ending point.

100% COMPLETE: The facility is completely constructed and ready for the intended use.

OFFEROR: Refers to the Contractor submitting the proposal as Offeror, including joint ventures, whose name appears in Block 14 of Standard Form (SF) 1442 (Solicitation, Offer and Award). In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the Offeror’s name cited on the SF 1442 and any other part of the proposal, the SF 1442 is the conclusive document in determining the Offeror who is submitting the proposal.

JOINT VENTURE (JV): A legal business entity formed between two or more companies (parties) to undertake the performance activities of a contract together. This does not include other arrangements such as “teaming agreement” or “strategic alliance,” which are not recognized as bona fide joint ventures for the purposes of this solicitation.

SEVEN-YEAR PERIOD: The prescribed timeframe for this solicitation that refers to the period of time for which projects may be submitted for experience. The seven-year period is calculated by counting back seven years from the initial RFP issuance date.

DESIGN-BUILD: Refers to combining design and construction in a single contract with one contractor.

Design-build projects require design of the project by a licensed professional (i.e. engineer, architect). Projects that only require shop drawing level effort are not design-build projects.

DESIGN-BID-BUILD: Refers to the traditional delivery method where design and construction are sequential and contracted for separately with two separate contracts and contractors; one for an A-E contract and one for a construction contract.

PAGE: Refers to one printed side of a piece of paper. (For example, 5 pieces of paper printed on both sides would result in 10 pages of narrative.) Font size and font style shall be clearly legible.

NEW CONSTRUCTION: Refers to projects creating entirely new facilities (or new expansions/additions to existing facilities where a new structure and/or foundation are provided as part of the expansion/addition).

3. EVALUATION FACTORS:

1. The solicitation requires the evaluation of the following factors:

Phase I (Qualification Phase):

Factor 1 – Experience Factor 2 – Past Performance

Phase II:

Factor 3 – Safety Factor 4 – Small Business Participation Factor 5 – Price

The distinction between experience and past performance is that experience pertains to the types of work and 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 evaluation factors:

Factors 1-2 will be evaluated in Phase I (Qualifications Phase) and Factors 3-5 will be evaluated in Phase II. Factors 1 and 4 will only be rated Acceptable or Unacceptable. If an Offeror is rated Unacceptable in Factor 1, then they will not be considered for Phase II. If an Offeror is rated Unacceptable in Factor 4, they may not be eligible for award. In making the best value award decision after Phase II, the government will consider the Past Performance confidence rating (Factor 2), Safety (Factor 3), and price (Factor 5). The relative order of importance of the non-price evaluation factors is that technical Factor 3 is of equal importance to the performance confidence assessment (Factor 2). The combined non-price factors (Factors 2 and 3) are approximately equal to price.

The importance of price will increase if the Offerors’ non-price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non-price proposal’s superiority to the Government. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered.

According to FAR 15.304, the evaluation factors that apply to this acquisition are a part of this RFP and are evaluated individually. The applicable evaluation factors and submission requirements are identified below.

3. Basis of Evaluation and Submittal Requirements for Each Factor.

(a) Price:

(1) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

The Offeror shall submit one original price proposal in the order shown below, using the Contract Pricing Schedule provided with the Request for Proposal, in a sealed envelope separate from the Technical Proposal.

The Offeror shall submit the price for each base item, each option item, and the Handling and Administrative Rate (HAR), as a percentage of the estimated budget amounts for the Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E) and Audio Visual (AV). The HAR will account for all design, administrative costs, overhead, bonding fees, administration of subcontracts, and any other costs associated with and related to the coordination and processing of the procurement and installation of FF&E and AV.

- Standard Form (SF) 1442 (Solicitation, Offer and Award)

- Contract Pricing Schedule

- Bid Bond

Failure to submit a Bid Bond conforming to the requirements of the solicitation may result in an Offeror's proposal being rejected as unacceptable.

(2) Basis of Evaluation:

The Government will evaluate the price based on the total price. The total price to be evaluated will include Base Item 0001, Base Item 0002, Base Item 0003, Option Item 0001, Option Item 0002, Option Item 0003, Option Item 0004, Option Item 0005, Option Item 0006, Option Item 0007, Option Item 0008, and the HAR segment under the FF&E and AV Planned Modifications.

• Offerors may propose a HAR for the FF&E and AV not to exceed 5%. The proposed HAR is a fixed percentage that will be incorporated into the contract award and will not be adjusted regardless of fluctuations from the estimated budget amount for FF&E and AV.

- The estimated budget amount for FF&E is $2,887,000.

- The estimated budget amount for AV is $5,697,376.

The Government intends to evaluate all options and has included the provision FAR 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options (JUL 1990) in 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:

(i) Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the RFP.

(ii) Comparison of proposed prices with the IGE.

(iii) Comparison of proposed prices with available historical information.

The total estimated price range is between $25,000,000 to $100,000,000

A price that is found to be unreasonably high 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.

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. The burden of proof of price reasonableness rests solely with the Offeror.

(b) Non-Price Factors:

(1) Factor 1 - Experience

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

Submit a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) relevant construction projects for the Offeror that best demonstrate your experience on relevant projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to this RFP.

For purposes of this evaluation, relevant projects are further defined as new construction of the following project types, by design-build or design-bid-build, with a construction cost of $15,000,000 or more and completed within seven years from the issuance of this RFP:

Communication Centers Data Centers Secure Operations or Secure Administrative buildings with a secured area that was constructed and accredited in accordance with ICD/ICS 705

Additional minimum submission requirements:

1) At least one (1) relevant project shall have a minimum construction cost of $50,000,000.

2) At least one (1) relevant project shall demonstrate the Offeror’s experience constructing large (in excess of 5,000

Sq. Ft) secured compartmented area(s) in a Department of Defense (DOD) facility within the continental United States (CONUS) that was constructed and accredited in accordance with ICD/ICS 705.

Note: A single project may be submitted to satisfy both of the above minimum requirements.

Projects submitted for the Offeror shall be 100% completed within the past seven (7) years of the date of issuance of this RFP. A “100% completed project” is a project in which the Owner has taken full beneficial occupancy.

A project is defined as a construction project performed under a single task order or 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 performed under a task order as a project.

The attached Construction Experience Project Data Sheet (Exhibit “A”) 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, 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, at least one (1) relevant project shall be submitted for each Joint Venture member. If no shared project experience is demonstrated, proposals that fail to submit at least one (1) relevant project for each Joint Venture member will be rated Unacceptable. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.

If an Offeror is utilizing experience information of affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies (name is not exactly as stated on the SF1442), the proposal shall clearly demonstrate how that affiliate/subsidiary/parent firm will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract. Regarding any such submitted project, if the Offeror fails to demonstrate the affiliate/subsidiary/parent firm’s meaningful involvement in the performance of this contract, the project will not be considered relevant and will not be evaluated. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation:

This factor will be rated on an Acceptable or Unacceptable basis.

The basis of evaluation will include the Offeror’s demonstrated 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 for construction. Any projects submitted in excess of the five (5) projects for Construction Experience will not be considered. Proposals which submit fewer than three (3) relevant construction projects or fail to demonstrate experience as required above will be rated Unacceptable.

(2) Factor 2 – Past Performance

The evaluation of past performance will include the Offeror’s history of reasonable and cooperative behavior, commitment to customer satisfaction, record of conforming to specifications and applicable law (i.e., labor standards and safety standards), quality of workmanship, effectiveness of management, record of controlling costs, adherence to schedules, and prior utilization of small business concerns.

If a completed Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluation is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal for each project included in Factor 1 for construction experience. If there is not a completed CPARS evaluation, then submit a Past Performance Questionnaire (Exhibit “B”) for each project included in Factor 1 for construction experience. The Offeror shall provide completed Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) in the proposal. Offerors may use PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs, but Offerors must include these in the proposal and shall not incorporate these by reference. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the Offeror shall complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). The Government may make reasonable attempts to contact the client noted for that project(s) to obtain the PPQ information. However, Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to help ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, Mr. Chris Rosario at christopher.rosario@navy.mil.

Offerors may provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on projects submitted under Factor 1 – Experience. Offerors may also address any adverse past performance issues.

Explanations shall not exceed two (2) double-sided pages (or four (4) single-sided pages) in total.

The Government reserves the right to contact references for verification or additional information. The Government’s inability to contact any of the Offeror’s references or the references unwillingness to provide the information requested may affect the Government’s evaluation of this factor.

Performance award or additional information submitted will not be considered.

All Offerors (both large and small businesses) shall also submit, on Exhibit “C” (Past Performance – Small Business Utilization), the requested information for each construction project submitted in Factor 1 – Experience in order to validate their prior utilization of small businesses. Past performance information submitted for projects other than those submitted in Factor 1 will not be considered.

• If established goals were not met on any submitted projects, an explanation for each unmet goal is required.

In demonstrating past performance in prior utilization of small businesses, small business Offerors may include for consideration self-performed work, as well as subcontracts they may have awarded to other small businesses.

This evaluation will consider how well the Offeror performed on relevant projects submitted under Factor 1 – Experience and may also consider past performance on other relevant projects currently documented in known sources.

The Government will consider the recency and relevance of the information, the source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the Contractor’s performance. This evaluation is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination. The assessment of the Offeror’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the Offeror’s probability to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP.

With respect to relevancy, past performance of greater relevancy will have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably in past performance and will receive a Neutral Confidence rating.

Past performance ratings of “Substantial Confidence” or “Satisfactory Confidence” hold more value than a “Neutral Confidence” rating and will be considered more favorably in the evaluation of past performance.

The Government is also seeking to determine whether the Offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to utilize Small Business (SB) concerns, including Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone Small Business (HUBZone SB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns; and, if applicable, Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI) and Alaska Native Corporations (ANCs) and Indian Tribes.

The basis of evaluation will also include the extent to which the Offeror has utilized small businesses in the listed socioeconomic categories when awarding subcontracts, as well as their efforts and successes in compliance with established small business subcontracting goals (if applicable), on the recent, relevant construction projects submitted under Factor 1 – Experience.

• Proposals that demonstrate strong historical utilization of small businesses, including utilization of all of the various socioeconomic categories (SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB, and SDVOSB) may be rated higher.

• Proposals that fail to provide required and complete information may be rated lower.

(3) Factor 3 – Safety

The Offeror shall submit the following information using Exhibit “D” (Safety Data Sheet/Safety Narrative):

(1) Experience Modification Rate (EMR): Submit three previous complete calendar years (2017, 2018, and 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. Any extenuating circumstances that affect the EMR and negative trends should be addressed as part of the element.

(2) OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) and Total Recordable Case (TRC) Rates: Submit three previous complete calendar years (2017, 2018, and 2019) worth of data. If the OSHA DART and TRC rates cannot be submitted, for any year, affirmatively state so and explain why.

Any extenuating circumstances that affected the OSHA DART and/or TRC rate data negatively should be addressed as part of this element.

(3) 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.

Fully describe the safety management system that will be used to oversee safety compliance and performance of self-performed and sub-contractor performed work. Also describe any innovative methods that the Offeror will employ to ensure and monitor safe work practices at self-performed and all subcontractor levels. Additionally, describe the 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, including a description of your “Good Catch” Program. A “Good Catch” Program is defined as a program that recognizes and rewards employees for reporting unsafe and/or unhealthful situations and acts to create a climate of trust and safety. The program should also have procedures in place to address deficiencies and unsafe situations immediately and to document those actions accordingly. The technical approach to safety narrative shall be limited to one (1) double-sided page (or two (2) single-sided pages).

Note: For a partnership or joint venture, the submittal requirements (1) and (2) listed above are required for each contractor who is part of the partnership or joint venture; however, only one safety narrative is required. Safety narratives for joint ventures and partnerships may be up to four pages in length.

The safety factor evaluation will collectively consider the following three submittal requirements:

(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 negative trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rating.

Lower EMRs may be given greater weight in the evaluation.

(2) OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate and Total Recordable Case (TRC) Rate:

The Government 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 negative trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rates. Lower OSHA DART and/or TRC Rates may be given greater weight in the evaluation.

(3) Technical Approach to Safety:

The Government will evaluate the degree to which subcontractor safety performance will be considered in the selection of all levels of subcontractors on the upcoming project as well as the degree to which the Offeror’s safety management system will ensure safety compliance of self-performed and subcontracted work, including innovative methods to monitor safe work practices. The Government will also evaluate the Offeror’s methodology to execute an effective program that facilitates sound mishap prevention techniques/processes, employee reporting of unsafe conditions, unsafe activities, and near-miss mishaps including its “Good Catch” Program. 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.

While the Government may elect to use other sources of information in evaluating safety to include, but not limited to OSHA, NAVFAC’s Contractor Incident Reporting System (CIRS) in Enterprise Safety Applications Management System (ESAMS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and other related databases, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete safety information regarding these submittal requirements rests with the Offeror.

(4) Factor 4 – Small Business Participation

It is the policy of the Government to provide maximum practicable opportunities in its acquisitions to Small Business (SB) concerns, including Historically Underutilized Business Zone Small Business (HUBZone SB), Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and other small business concerns. Further, it is the policy of the Government that such concerns will have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in contract performance consistent with its efficient performance.

All Offerors (both large and small businesses) shall use Exhibit “E” (Small Business Participation Plan) to submit the following requested information for evaluation of this factor:

• To demonstrate commitment to use small business concerns in the performance of this contract, identify all planned subcontractors by name that will be used to support each specific small business category (i.e., SB, HUBZone SB, WOSB, SDB, VOSB, and SDVOSB). Identify the type of product/service to be subcontracted, the estimated subcontract value, and the type of commitment (i.e., teaming agreement, letter of commitment, etc.) to each subcontractor.

• To demonstrate maximum practicable participation of small businesses, identify (in terms of dollar value and percentage of the total contract value) the Offeror’s total proposed small business participation (i.e. work to be performed by small business as the prime contractor and/or work to be performed by small business subcontractors). All Offerors who are not able to meet the minimum total small business participation rate (20% of the total contract value) shall provide a detailed explanation why the minimum total small business participation rate cannot be achieved. Offerors are encouraged to exceed this percentage and seek meaningful levels of participation in each of the small business categories (i.e., SB, HUBZone SB, WOSB, SDB, VOSB, and SDVOSB) consistent with efficient contract performance.

If the Offeror does not intend to subcontract, provide a detailed explanation why subcontracting would not result in efficient contract performance.

Note: Large business Offerors selected for award shall be required to submit an acceptable Small Business Subcontracting Plan incorporating the proposed subcontract values and small business concerns that are specifically identified in the Offeror’s Small Business Participation Plan. The Small Business Subcontracting Plan shall also include small business subcontracting goals that meet or exceed the minimum small business subcontracting targets stated in the table below. If the Offeror fails to negotiate an acceptable subcontracting plan, the Offeror will be ineligible for award.

Minimum Small Business Subcontracting Targets Program Percentage of Total

Subcontracting Value Small Business (SB): 40% HUBZone Small Business (HUBZone SB): 3% Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB): 9%

Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB): 5% Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB): 3% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB): 3%

This factor will be rated on an Acceptable or Unacceptable basis.

The following will be evaluated on all proposals:

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s Small Business Participation Plan to determine that the Offeror has identified and demonstrated a commitment to use small business concerns in each specific small business category (i.e., SB, HUBZone SB, WOSB, SDB, VOSB, and SDVOSB) in the performance of this contract.

• Proposals that fail to identify and commit to use small business concerns in the performance of this contract may be rated Unacceptable; however, the Government may take into account reasonable explanations why subcontracting would not result in efficient contract performance.

The Government will also evaluate the Offeror’s Small Business Participation Plan to determine that the Offeror has demonstrated the maximum practicable participation of small businesses by meeting or exceeding the solicitation’s minimum total small business participation rate (i.e. work to be performed by small business as the prime contractor and/or work to be performed by small business subcontractors). The minimum total small business participation rate for this acquisition is 20% of the total contract value.

• Large business Offerors may achieve the minimum total small business participation rate through subcontracting to small businesses.

• Small business Offerors may achieve the minimum total small business participation rate through their own performance/participation as a prime and also through a joint venture, teaming arrangement, and/or subcontracting to other small businesses.

Proposals that fail to demonstrate a total small business participation rate of at least 20% may be rated Unacceptable; however, the Government may take into account reasonable explanations why the minimum total small business participation rate cannot be achieve
