A waterfront facility is defined as any structure located on the waterfront, in connection with, or potentially in contact with, water or the marine environment. This would include inland structures that require underwater investigations. Waterfront facilities include, but are not limited to piers, wharves, bulkheads, quaywalls, offshore towers, dams, levees, water control structures, instrument support structures, dry docks, moorings, underwater cables, or any similar structure.

All waterfront facility assessments, including underwater inspections will be performed under direct control and supervision of registered professional engineer-divers. For each underwater assessment, one registered professional engineer-diver shall be appointed as the engineer-in-charge (EIC). That EIC shall dive at least 50% of the time, supervise the writing of the detailed inspection report, and write at least 50% of the detailed inspection reports.

Revised AUG 2024 and Health Requirements EM 385-1-1 (November 2014). US citizenship for all on-site personnel, including the requirement to pass a Federal Law Enforcement Agency Background Screening Process for access to Government sites is required. This contract will set the labor fees and overhead rates for the A-E’s labor positions, and any subcontractor labor positions, for the 60- month period. All fees and rates will be negotiated at the time of issue for the most highly qualified firm. Multiple Task Orders may be awarded with similar delivery schedules requiring the firm to provide services with overlapping work/delivery dates.

Interested firms are advised to ensure System of Award Management (SAM) registration is current at time of offer submission and must remain valid through award. If SAM registration lapses during the solicitation and evaluation period, the offer will no longer be eligible for award.

For instructions on registering with SAM, see the SAM website at https://www.sam.gov/.

The awarded contract will be subject to specific provisions addressing the avoidance of organizational conflicts of interest. The prime firm for this contract will be required to perform throughout the contract term.

Interviews will be scheduled with firms slated as the most highly qualified. Firms slated for interviews may be asked to clarify information contained in the SF330 submittal. Elaborate presentations are not desired.

Security Requirements: Work performed will be at the SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED level. The Government does not anticipate the need for a security clearance, however, if clearances are subsequently required the contractor shall comply with SECNAV M5510.30, SECNAV Instruction M-5239.2, and Department of Defense (DoD) 8570.01-M. The contractor shall establish and maintain an access list of those employees working on the contract.

An A-E firm will not be excluded from any other currently solicited region (Regions 2, 3, 4, and OCONUS) based upon an award in any other single region, but will have to prove capacity to complete six inspections at once while being in compliance with the EM-385 (i.e.

24 Engineer Divers, 4 for each individual inspection). As such, multiple regions may be awarded to a single firm who can meet this capacity requirement.

If an awardee has been awarded multiple regions, the three inspections per region requirement remains (6 total concurrent inspections). NAVFAC EXWC’s waterfront inspections will be the awardees priority. Task orders awarded outside of NAVFAC EXWC (Ordering Authorities from other agencies) will be of secondary importance.

Revised AUG 2024 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 firm 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, as defined below, 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 firm 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 firm 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

Revised AUG 2024

Moderate Risk From 3.5 to 4.49 High Risk From 4.5 to 5.99 Extremely High Risk Greater than 6.0
