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, cost/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, the relative order of importance of the non-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 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 and Participation

The distinction between corporate experience and past performance is corporate experience pertains to the types of work and volume of work completed by a contractor that are comparable to the types of work covered by this requirement, in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Past performance pertains to both the relevance of recent efforts and how well a contractor has performed on the contracts.

2. The relative order of importance of the non-price evaluation factors is the technical factors (Factors 1, 2, 3, and 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 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.

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

Factor 1 - Corporate Experience:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

Offerors shall submit a minimum of three (3) up to a maximum of five (5) relevant construction projects that best demonstrate their experience on relevant projects similar in size, scope, and complexity to this RFP.

Experience shall be that of the Offeror, performed as a prime contractor. Experience of proposed subcontractors will not be considered.

For purposes of this evaluation, a relevant project is further defined as:

Size: A final construction cost of $25,000,000 or greater.

Scope: Construction of reinforced concrete wharfs or pier structures.

Complexity: Relevant wharf or pier projects submitted shall, collectively, demonstrate experience with all of the following elements listed below:

• Controlled demolition of reinforced concrete structures;

• Steel pile supported pier/wharf construction;

• Installation of industrial grade mechanical and electrical utility services and controls

Note 1: The Offeror’s proposal shall, cumulatively, demonstrate experience with all of the elements listed under “Complexity”. All elements do not have to be included under one project, experience may be demonstrated collectively through all projects submitted meeting size and scope.

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 ten (10) 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 ten (10) years from the date of issuance of this RFP will be considered “Not Relevant.”

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.

Individual blocks on this form may be expanded; however, total length for each project data sheet shall not exceed two (2) 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, scope, and 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, scope, and 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.

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 that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent firm will have meaningful involvement and clearly describe the role that firm will have in the performance of the contract. If meaningful involvement is not demonstrated, experience of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent firm will not be considered.

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 three

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

Relevant projects demonstrating experience with supported piles that are 30 inches in diameter or larger with reinforced concrete industrial pier construction and a final construction cost of over $40 million may be considered more favorably.

Relevant projects demonstrating installation of drilled piles with rock sockets utilizing equipment mounted on barges operating in open water may be considered more favorably. (Note: Construction of micropiles does not meet this element.).

Factor 2 - Management Approach and Schedule

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

The offeror shall submit a narrative and schedule for this factor. The narrative shall not exceed ten (10) pages, 8- 1/2" x 11" size. Provide the schedule, documenting any multiple critical paths, in 11" x 17" pages and in an Adobe PDF file. There is no page limit on the schedule.

The narrative shall include, but not limited to:

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 bid items and all options, as referenced in the RFP.

2. Identify activities that may affect the project timeline, including other/off site work activities.

3. Describe how your firm will handle technical complexities relating to: simultaneous construction of water and land side facilities, site utility work to include grading, installation of site utilities, concrete and asphalt paving, bulkhead repair work, and performing wharf and pier construction.

4. Describe how your firm will handle unforeseen problems with: material deliveries, subcontractor progress, weather, re-work, differing site conditions, and inspections 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 (803 calendar days inclusive of all options, including 15 days for bond approval). The schedule shall be based on a contract award date of 30 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.

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 that the required duration indicated in the RFP may be considered more favorably.

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.

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.

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

a. Describe the Offeror’ s approach to implementing and executing a Safety Management System (SMS) including 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. Describe the evaluation process used to select potential subcontractors.

c. Describe the processes of how the Offeror will oversee safety compliance of subcontractors at all levels throughout performance of the contract (to include the Offeror’s own in-house workforce).

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

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.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation:

The Government is seeking to determine that the Offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to safety and that the Offeror plans to properly manage and implement safety procedures for itself and its subcontractors. The 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) 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.

Factor 4 - Past Performance

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

Recent, relevant projects are determined within the requirements for Factor 1, Corporate Experience.

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. The offeror shall include all completed CPARS evaluations (interim and final) for a project. 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, Kristy Gerrek , via email at kristy.l.gerrek.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. 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;

• 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.

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.

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

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 of this contract, identify by name the subcontractors that will be used to support each small business category, including SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB, and SDVOSBs. Identify the type and complexity of product/service to be subcontracted, and the type of commitment (i.e., teaming agreement, joint venture agreement, mentor protégé agreement, letter of commitment, etc.) with each subcontractor.

o If subcontractors are not identified by name, offerors shall provide a detailed explanation why subcontractors are not identified. If firm written commitments with SBs are not in place, offerors shall provide an explanation and rationale on the ability to achieve the proposed participation. (See Attachment F, paragraph 5) o If a LB offeror does not intend to subcontract, provide a detailed explanation why subcontracting would not result in efficient contract performance. SBs intending to 100% self-perform are not required to provide an explanation. (See Attachment F, paragraph 6)

• To demonstrate maximum practicable participation of small businesses, identify (in terms of dollar value and percentage of the total contract value) the offeror’s proposed small business participation. The minimum required 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) is 20%. Offerors who are not able to meet the minimum total small business participation requirement of 20% (of the total contract value) shall provide a detailed explanation why the minimum total small business participation requirement cannot be achieved.

• Only complete Attachment F. Information provided in a different format and/or on a form created by the offeror will not be evaluated. Attachments or addendums to Attachment F will not be evaluated.

• Large business offerors may achieve the minimum total small business participation requirement through subcontracting to small businesses.

• Small business offerors may achieve the minimum total small business participation requirement through their own performance/participation as a prime as well as through a joint venture, teaming arrangement, and/or subcontracting with other small business concerns.

The Government will evaluate the likelihood of success in achieving the small business objectives of this acquisition based on the following:

1. The extent to which the offeror is able to demonstrate a history of supporting Government policies concerning the utilization of small business concerns, including SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB, and SDVOSB and the success in achieving goals established by subcontracting plans on prior contracts.
