1. GENERAL

1.1 GENERAL OVERVIEW OF PROCUREMENT PROCESS

This solicitation is being issues as UNRESTRICTED FOR FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION.

The NAICS Code for this procurement is 236220 and the Size Standard is $45,000,000.

This acquisition will be advertised utilizing FAR Part 15 - Contracting by Negotiation resulting in a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Contract for Construction Services.

In accordance with DFARS 236.204, the estimated magnitude of construction is between $100,000,000 and $250,000,000.

1.2 GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE CONTRACT

The general intent of this solicitation is to award a Fixed Price Construction Contract for a Design-Bid-Build (DBB), construction services for the P- 1550 SOF Marine Raider Battalion Company & Team Facilities located at the Marine Corps Base in Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. The project is to provide construction of 6,815 SM (73,400 SF) SOF Marine Battalion Operations, Supply, Communications, and Intel facility; 11,812 SM (127,200 SF) Company HQ and Team Facilities; 1,635 SM (17,600 SF) Company Storage Buildings and miscellaneous supporting structures, utilities, parking, roadways, pedestrian ways/sidewalks, and site work at Stone Bay at the Marine Corps Base (MCB) in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. The structures will be single-story steel frame buildings with brick veneer over metal studs, standing seam metal roofs, metal soffits, and translucent wall panels.

Special construction features include pile foundations, surcharged sites, wetlands mitigation, and storm water best management practices.

2. BASIS FOR AWARD

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.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract after conducting discussions with offerors whose proposals have been determined to be within the competitive range. 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 range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

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.

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.

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, if held. 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

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.

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 whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered.

An Offeror's 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 that those that do not.

Critical Path Schedule - Offerors will be evaluated on the extent to which they demonstrate a clear understanding of the requirements of the RFP. A schedule that proposes a realistic and feasible contract duration shorter than the required duration indicated in the RFP may be considered more favorably than those that do not.

Factor 3, Safety:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

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, joint venture, the Offeror shall submit separate DART, TCR for the specified five (5) CY for each contractor who is part of the partnership or 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' [CY2025, CY2024, CY2023, CY2022, and CY2021] worth of data (not an overall average). If the Offeror has no DART rate for any year, the Offeror must 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.

2. TCR Rate: Submit five (5) previous complete calendar years' [CY2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021] worth of data (not an overall average). If the Offeror has no TCR rate for any year, the Offeror must 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.

3. Technical Approach for 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 the performance of the contract (to include their 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, 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 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) may 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.

Factor 4, Past Performance:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

Recent, relevant projects are determined in 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 E), 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, Andy Bui, via email at andy.h.

bui.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 are highly encouraged to provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on projects submitted under Factor 1 - Corporate Experience. Offerors are also highly encouraged to 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 E.

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.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation:

This evaluation focuses on how well the Offeror performed on projects deemed Relevant under Factor 1 - Corporate Experience and past performance on other relevant 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;

- 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

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 G, paragraph 5) If a LB offeror does not intend to subcontract, provide a why subcontracting detailed explanation would not result in efficient contract performance. SBs intending to 100% self-perform are not required to provide an explanation. (See , paragraph 6)Attachment G To demonstrate maximum practicable participation of small businesses, identify (in terms of dollar

) the offeror's proposed small business value and percentage of the total contract value participation.

For projects submitted for , that did not have established small business goals, consideration will be Factor 1, Corporate Experience given to the utilization of the small business concerns and the degree of usage of small business relative to the total contract value. Historical Small Business Utilization will only be evaluated if performed by the offeror.

2. The extent to which the offeror has demonstrated an achievable commitment to use small businesses, including SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, in the performance of this contract within the SBPCD.VOSB, and SDVOSB

- The minimum small business participation requirement, through work performed by the small business prime and/or subcontracting with small businesses, shall meet or exceed of the total contract value, unless the offeror provides a reasonable 20% and well-documented explanation for why the minimum small business participation requirement cannot be achieved.20% o Offerors that demonstrate a commitment to providing maximum practical opportunity to small businesses may be rated higher.

o Proposing less than total small business participation requirement may result in a Deficiency20% .

o Offerors that do not demonstrate commitment to providing maximum practical opportunity to small businesses may result in a Deficiency.

- The SBPCD will be evaluated to determine the extent to which small business concerns are specifically identified by name and socioeconomic category in the document and the degree to which small business concerns, including SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, will participate relative to the total contract value. The complexity and variety of the work small business VOSB, and SDVOSB concerns will perform and the degree of commitment to use named sources through formal teaming agreements, joint venture agreements, mentor protege agreements, written/signed letters of /commitment, etc. will be evaluated to assess achievability of the commitment.
