1.2 GENERAL OVERVIEW OF CONTRACT

Description of Work:

The project will be prepared in two packages, under one contract.

Package 1: Building 686 Conolly Hall Upgrades, NWC

The Conolly Hall Building 686, NWC, located on the NAVSTA Newport, Rhode Island campus, is a seven level tall structure constructed in 1974 and is comprised of two (2) parking levels (P-1, P-2), four (4) levels of classroom, multi-function and administrative use and MEP/Penthouse/Roof.

Base Bid: The project will include the repair and renovation to 80,000 square feet (SF) of the basement level and all upper levels of the building interiors, provide upgrades to 60,000 SF of lower parking levels, life safety and fire protection systems, and lighting. Repairs and renovations to the building include full demolition of all interiors, to face of existing exterior wall including hazardous material abatement and incidental related work, all new interior floor plan layout with architectural upgrades and finishes, new mechanical, electrical, plumbing and toilet rooms, life safety, fire alarm & protection systems, and physical and cyber security systems to meet current building codes.

The projects require Third Party Certifications – refer to all specifications.

OPTION 1: The project scope of work is to replace in-kind exterior window systems and exterior door and frames including hazardous material abatement and incidental related work.

B686 Conolly Hall building will not be occupied during performance of work under this contract.

Package 2: Modular Buildings to support Building 686 during construction

The modular buildings are required to support Package 1 Building 686 Conolly Hall Upgrades during construction.

The project will provide and install modular buildings, and all required site demolition, utilities, and storm water management construction for the duration of construction contract for scope of work noted in Package 1. The modular buildings are proposed to be located in existing northern and eastern parking lot areas around Building 29- Sims Hall, NWC. The northern one-story modular building is about 14,500 SF and holds fourteen (14) classrooms with proposed adjacent handicapped parking lot and building accessibility. In the existing eastern parking lot, the project includes providing and installing three additional one-story modular buildings, each about 2,800 SF to hold two (2) classrooms and offices. Each are served by a proposed adjacent handicapped parking lot. The modular buildings’ exteriors are constructed of vinyl siding with 4” reveal, and vertical vinyl siding skirt and soffit. The roofs are constructed of low-sloped membrane.

The scope of work for Package 2 Modular Buildings is required to be ready for occupancy, and accepted as Substantially Complete (Beneficial Occupancy Date) by the Contracting Officer prior to start of mobilization and demolition of scope of work noted in Package 1- B686 Conolly Hall Upgrades. The scope of work includes demobilization of Package 2 Modular Buildings after the scope of work noted in Package 1 B686 Conolly Hall Upgrades has been accepted as Substantially Complete (Beneficial Occupancy Date) by the Contracting Officer.

2. BASIS FOR AWARD

2.1 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.

2.2 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.

2.3 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.

2.4 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.

2.5 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. An Unacceptable rating in any of the non-cost/price factors will result in an overall rating of “Unacceptable” for the non-cost/price factors, unless 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.

3. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1. The solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-cost/price factors:

Factor 1 – Corporate Experience Factor 2 – Management Approach and Schedule Factor 3 – Safety Factor 4 – Past Performance Factor 5 – Small Business Utilization

The distinction between corporate 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-cost/price evaluation factors is the technical factors (Factors 1, 2, 3, and 5) 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.

The importance of price will increase if the Offerors’ non-cost/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-cost/price proposal’s superiority to the Government. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror(s) whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered.

Size: A final construction award amount of $30,000,000 or greater.

Scope: Renovation of a multiple story existing building.

Complexity: Relevant projects shall collectively demonstrate experience with each of the following elements:

• Phased construction experience

• Construction work in existing buildings while adjacent buildings remain occupied during construction

• Hazardous Material Abatement and Disposal

• Modular Building construction

Note1: In accordance with 13 CFR 125.2(g), small business Offerors may utilize the experience of a small business first-tier subcontractor(s) to demonstrate experience under this evaluation factor if that small business Offeror cannot independently satisfy the experience requirement as defined above. In order to utilize the experience of a small business first-tier subcontractor(s), the offeror must specifically identify the proposed small business first-tier contractor(s) in its proposal in accordance with this Factor. The Government notes that 13 CFR 125.2(g) is specific to only small business Offerors and named small business first-tier subcontractors. As such, the small business Offeror is not permitted to use the experience of a large business subcontractor or large business corporate affiliate in place of its own if the small business Offeror cannot independently satisfy the experience requirement as defined above.

Projects submitted that only include horizontal or civil site work will not be considered relevant.

For all submitted projects, ensure that the project description clearly provides the final construction cost, and addresses how the project meets the scope/complexity requirements.

Projects submitted for the Offeror shall have been completed within the past seven (7) years from the date of issuance of this RFP. Projects which are not complete as of the date of issuance of this RFP will be considered “Not Relevant”. Additionally, projects completed prior to seven (7) years from the date of issuance of this RFP will be considered “Not Relevant.”

Experience of proposed subcontractors will not be considered with the exception of the note above regarding 13 CFR 125.2(g).

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 submission of a multiple award and/or indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contract as a whole will be considered Not Relevant.

The attached Construction Experience Project Data Sheet (Attachment C) 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 nor will the Government consider submissions via any other medium.

Individual blocks on this form may be expanded; however, total length for each project data sheet shall not exceed two (2) 8-1/2” x 11” pages. Information beyond this page limit will not be considered.

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 may be submitted for the Joint Venture members. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined. Offerors may submit experience where a member of the JV performed as a JV with another entity but must clearly demonstrate how its work on that project met Size and Scope/Complexity as defined above. Likewise, Offerors that are not submitting as a JV may submit a project where it performed as a JV with another entity but must clearly demonstrate how its work on that project met Size and Scope/Complexity as defined above. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.

For a JV, the offeror shall submit the signed JV agreement. For an 8(a) Mentor-Protégé Joint Venture, the offeror shall submit the signed U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Mentor-Protégé approval letter and signed JV agreement.

In order for the experience to be considered, the Offeror is also required to clearly demonstrate that the corporate affiliate(s) or first-tier small business subcontractor(s) will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract by identifying the personnel or resources from the corporate affiliate(s) or first-tier small business subcontractor(s) that will be dedicated to the contract.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation:

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 for construction experience. Any projects submitted in excess of five (5) will not be considered. An offeror that does not submit a minimum of two

(2) relevant projects as defined above will receive a rating of “Unacceptable” and will not be eligible for award.

Offerors that demonstrate experience on individual projects that meet size, scope, and at least 3 complexity items may be considered more favorably.

Offerors that demonstrate experience with temporary modular construction may be considered more favorably.

(2) Factor 2, Management Approach and Schedule

(1) Provide a narrative describing the proposed approach to management, for both subcontractors and your workforce, to ensure schedule adherence, early detection and correction of problems and the execution of the base price and all options, as referenced in the RFP.

(2) Identify activities that may affect the project timeline (including long lead time items and materials), including other/off site work activities.

(3) Describe how your firm will handle technical complexities relating to:

hazard materials abatement NAVFAC requirements from Environmental follow regulations for abatement disposal proficient in mechanical and electrical building interiors building IT requirements package 2 site/civil

(4) Describe how your firm will handle unforeseen problems with: material deliveries, long lead time items and materials, subcontractor progress, weather, re-work, differing site conditions, and inspections/acceptance testing relating to the subject project.

The schedule shall include, but not limited to:

(1) Provide a Critical Path Method (CPM) construction schedule that illustrates your ability to achieve the schedule and meet all the requirements of the RFP (912 days for Package 1 and an additional 211 days for Package 2, including 15 days for bond approval. Although Package 2 is scheduled for construction completion prior to mobilization of demolition work for Package 1, Construction Administration items such as schedules, construction submittals, etc. may begin for Package 1 at award of contract. The schedule shall be based on a contract award date of September 2024. This date is for proposal purposes only and is not intended to indicate an anticipated/planned award date. Any proposed duration shorter than the RFP requirements will be incorporated into the contract award.

If unable to meet the milestone dates of the RFP, the Offeror shall submit the best possible schedule.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation:

Offerors will be evaluated on the extent to which they demonstrate a thorough understanding of the requirements of the RFP.

A narrative work plan that identifies areas of risk in logistics and resource management, and provides a comprehensive contingency plan that addresses mitigation of any identified risks with potential solutions, may be considered more favorably.

A schedule that proposes a realistic shorter contract duration than the required duration indicated in the RFP may be considered more favorably. A schedule that proposes a contract duration longer than indicated in the RFP will be rated UNACCEPTABLE.

(3) Factor 3, Safety

The Offeror shall submit the following information: The Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate; and Total Case Rate (TCR) for the specified five (5) Calendar Years (CY), as well as a safety narrative, as described further below. For a partnership or joint venture, the Offeror shall submit separate DART rates and TCR for the specified five (5) CY for each contractor who is part of the partnership/joint venture; however, only one safety narrative is required. Any fatalities experienced within this 5-year timeframe must be explained in detail, to include root cause and corrective actions.

NOTE: DART and TCR shall not be submitted for subcontractors

1. DART Rate: Submit five (5) previous complete calendar years’ [CY2019, CY2020, CY2021, CY2022, CY2023] worth of data (not an overall average). If the Offeror has no DART rate, for any year, affirmatively state so and explain why. Should a negative trend occur above moderate risk levels, an acceptable/detailed explanation is required that includes any corrective actions taken for improvement.

a. DART cases include injuries or illnesses resulting in death, days away from work, and/or restricted work or transfer to another job days beyond the day of injury/illness.

b. Calculation of DART rate: Multiply the total number of DART cases by 200,000, and then divide by the number of employee labor hours worked..

𝑫𝑨𝑹𝑻 𝑹𝑨𝑻𝑬 =

Number of DART Incidents x 200,000

Total Number of Employee Labor Hours Worked

2. TCR Rate: Submit five (5) previous complete calendar years’ [CY2019, CY2020, CY2021, CY2022, CY2023] worth of data (not an overall average). If the Offeror has no TCR rate, for any year, affirmatively state so and explain why. Should a negative trend occur above moderate risk levels, an acceptable/detailed explanation is required that includes any corrective actions taken for improvement.

a. TCR cases include injuries or illnesses resulting in death, days away from work, restricted work or transfer to another job days beyond the day of injury/illness, medical treatment beyond first aid, or loss of consciousness.

b. Calculation of TCR rate: Multiply the total number of TCR incidents by 200,000, and then divide by the number of employee labor hours worked.

𝑻𝑪𝑹 𝑹𝑨𝑻𝑬 =

Number of TCR Incidents x 200,000

Total Number of Employee Labor Hours Worked

3. Technical Approach to Safety: Submit a narrative that addresses the following:

a. Describes a viable SMS that addresses elements; such as Management/Leadership involvement, Employee involvement, Hazard prevention, Hazard control, Worksite analysis, and Safety and health training, to include the standard(s) used to benchmark the SMS.

b. Describes a methodical process of evaluating subcontractor’s safety performance in their selection process.

c. Describes a logical management plan to hold themselves and their subcontractors accountable for adhering to the safety requirements of the contract.

d. The Technical Approach to Safety narrative shall be limited to two (2) single-sided pages.

Information on pages beyond this will not be considered.

4. The Government reserves the right to review other available sources (public/Government internal) of information.

These may include but are not limited to OSHA data, NAVFAC’s Contractor Incident Reporting System (CIRS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Electronic Contract Management System (eCMS), etc.

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 evaluation will collectively consider the DART rate, TCR rate, Technical Approach to Safety, and other sources of information available to the Government as part of such collective evaluation. The board will evaluate the DART rates and TCR 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 rating.

1. DART Rate: The board will evaluate trends over the last five years considering changes that take it from one risk level (or more) to the next up or down. Negative trends occurring above moderate risk levels require the Offeror to provide a detailed explanation that includes any corrective actions taken for improvement.

a. Missing data without an explanation is considered a deficiency.

b. Declining trends that push the risk levels from Moderate Risk (MR) or higher to Low Risk (LR) or Very Low Risk (VLR) would indicate a strength.

c. An increasing DART rate trend could be considered a weakness (i.e. MR or better to High Risk (HR) or Extremely High Risk EHR)) if an acceptable explanation is not provided for any trends that rise above Moderate.

d. This chart correlates the DART rate to the level of risk:

Risk DART Rate Very Low Risk Less Than 1.0 Low Risk From 1.0 to 1.99 Moderate Risk From 2.0 to 2.99 High Risk From 3.0 to 4.0 Extremely High Risk Greater than 4.0

2. TCR Rate: The board will evaluate trends over the last five years considering changes that take it from one risk level (or more) to the next up or down. Negative trends occurring above moderate risk levels require the Offeror to provide a detailed explanation that includes any corrective actions taken for improvement.

a. Missing data without an explanation is considered a deficiency.

b. Declining trends that push the risk levels from Moderate Risk (MR) or higher to Low Risk (LR) or Very Low Risk (VLR) would indicate a strength.

c. An increasing TCR rate trend could be considered a weakness (i.e. MR or better to High Risk (HR) or Extremely High Risk EHR)) if an acceptable explanation is not provided for any trends that rise above Moderate.

d. This chart correlates the TCR rate to the level of risk:

Risk TCR Rate Very Low Risk Less Than 2.49 Low Risk From 2.5 to 3.49 Moderate Risk From 3.5 to 4.49 High Risk From 4.5 to 5.99 Extremely High Risk Greater than 6.0

3. The Technical Approach to Safety Narrative. To determine the degree to which the Offeror:

a. Describes a viable SMS that addresses elements; such as Management/Leadership involvement, Employee involvement, Hazard prevention, Hazard control, Worksite analysis, and Safety and health training, to include the standard(s) used to benchmark the SMS.

b. Describes a methodical process of evaluating subcontractor’s safety performance in their selection process.

c. Describes a logical management plan to hold themselves and their subcontractors accountable for adhering to the safety requirements of the contract.

d. The Technical Approach to Safety narrative shall be limited to two (2) single-sided pages. Information on pages beyond this will not be considered.

4. The Government reserves the right to review other available sources (public/Government internal) of information.

These may include but are not limited to OSHA data, NAVFAC’s Contractor Incident Reporting System (CIRS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Electronic Contract Management System (eCMS), etc.

(4) Factor 4, Past Performance

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 and design experience. 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, 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 D), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. 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, Shayna Eichner, via email at shayna.t.eichner.civ@us.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.

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

Such explanations shall not exceed four (4) pages in total. Information beyond this page limitation will not be considered.

Sources of Past Performance Information for evaluation that may be used are as follows:

- Past performance information provided by the offeror, as solicited;

- Past performance information obtained from questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of the acquisition; and

- Past performance information obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials.

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 Past Performance Questionnaire to be used for requesting client references is included as Attachment D.

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.

This evaluation focuses on how well the Offeror performed on the projects submitted under Factor 1 – Corporate Experience and past performance on other projects currently documented in known sources. The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, the source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in Contractor’s performance. The degree of relevancy is determined on the size, scope, and complexity parameters listed under Factor 1 – Corporate Experience.

In the case of Offerors for which there is no information on past performance, or where past performance information is not available or so sparse that no meaningful assessment can be performed, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably, and will instead receive a “Neutral” rating (See FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). The Government may determine that a “Substantial Confidence” or “Satisfactory Confidence” past performance rating is worth more than a “Neutral Confidence” past performance rating in a best value tradeoff as long as the determination is consistent with stated selection criteria.

The Government will consider 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), 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.); and

- Recency of tasks performed that are identical to, similar to, or related to the task at hand

(5) Factor 5, Small Business Utilization and Participation

It is the policy of the Government to provide maximum practicable opportunities in its acquisitions to 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), 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.

This Factor assesses both the historical achievements in utilizing small business concerns and the proposed small business participation commitment for this requirement. The offeror is required to demonstrate its previous commitment to SBs through its record of past utilization of SBs and the level of commitment to small business if awarded a contract under this solicitation.

1. All Offerors (large, non-profits, AND small businesses) shall use Attachment E (Historical Small Business Utilization) to demonstrate their historical utilization of SBs. Each project submitted under Factor 1, Corporate Experience, shall be included on Attachment E. Failure to include each project submitted under Factor 1, Corporate Experience, on Attachment E, or the failure to fully complete Attachment E for each project may result in a deficiency. Only complete Attachment E. Information provided in a different format and/or on a form created by the offeror will not be evaluated.

Attachments or addendums to Attachment E will not be evaluated. Offerors are permitted to expand portions of the form, as needed, to provide sufficient response. Instructions regarding how to complete Attachment E are included at the beginning of the attachment.

2. All Offerors (large, non-profits, AND small businesses) shall use Attachment F (Small Business

Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD)) to submit the following required information for evaluation of this factor:

To demonstrate commitment to use small business concerns in the performance…
