Factor 4 - Construction Safety The Government desires to do business with only those firms that excel in safety performance. This factor exists to emphasize the importance of safety in and around all construction sites and at the base where construction work is being performed. This factor consists of two subfactors that (1) will evaluate specific aspects of the offerors construction safety program and (2) will evaluate the offeror's safety performance history by contacting references, including but not limited to clients, insurance agencies and subcontractors. For purposes of this evaluation, Subfactor A is less important than Subfactor B. Subfactor A: Safety Program. The offeror shall provide information that demonstrates a corporate commitment to construction safety by addressing the following: Processes/Standard Operating Procedures Management Involvement/Commitment Employee participation and training Incentive/Awards program Other safety program innovations Offerors shall not submit their Corporate Safety Plan to satisfy the response to this subfactor. Subfactor B: Safety Performance History. The offeror shall describe all lost time construction accidents/mishaps that occurred on contracts over the past two years. This information is required for the prime contractor and all subcontractors working on the jobsite. Your response shall address each of the following: Description of Accident/Mishap and whether prime or subcontractor event Date/location of occurrence and contract title Actions taken following accident/mishap Agency/client POC and phone number Employer (of employee affected by event) POC and phone number The Government will contact references for the purpose of validating the information provided in response to this factor as well as obtaining further insight into each offeror's corporate safety philosophy. The frequency and severity of events may have significant impact in the rating assigned to this factor. The Government reserves the right to call any or all previous clients for the purpose of obtaining additional information regarding your record of accidents and mishaps. Factor 5a - Subcontracting History Factor 5a is included to obtain the offerors history of subcontracting to Small Business, Small Disadvantaged, Historically underutilized small zone small businesses, women owned small businesses, service disabled veteran owned small businesses, veteran owned small businesses, and historically black college and university/minority institutes. Factor 5a in Phase I and 5b found in Phase II are subfactors equal in importance to each other. Factor 5b will be evaluated under Phase II and an overall rating for this factor will be assigned. Offerors must address the following in sufficient detail to allow proper evaluation and rating: 1. Provide SF-294 forms, "Subcontracting Report for Individual Contracts?, for projects identified under technical factor 2, Relevant Experience (construction team). If the referenced projects were not DOD procurements and an SF-294 was not required, provide any other documentation showing compliance with the utilization of Small Business firms in each noted category (e.g., Small, Small Disadvantaged, HUBZone Small, Veteran Owned Small, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small and Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Minority Institutions, if applicable). Include the dollar value and percentage of work (of total contract value) subcontracted to these entities. If goals were not met on the referenced contracts, provide an explanation as to why. 2. Provide information on any awards you've received within the past three (3) years for outstanding support to the small business community. 3. Provide performance evaluation ratings obtained on implementation of subcontracting plans, if available, on the DOD contracts submitted under (1) above. 4. Provide information on existing or pending mentor-protege agreements. Provide information, if available, on use of Community Rehabilitation Programs organizations certified under the Javits-Wagner O'Day Program (JWOD) by NISH or NIB. PAST PERFORMANCE Past Performance information is one indicator of an offeror's ability to perform this contract successfully. This evaluation will include the performance history of both the construction entity and the design entity. The relevancy and source of the information, context of data, and general trends in a contractor's performance shall be taken into consideration. The assessment of the offeror's past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capability of the offeror and establishes a level of confidence or risk for successful performance under this contract. Past Performance findings will influence the relative standing of the offeror. Findings will be used to validate proposals against established criteria. By contacting references provided under Factors 1 and 2, the Government will evaluate the offerors past performance. Offerors are authorized to provide information on problems encountered on the identified contracts and corrective actions taken. In investigating the contractor's past performance, the Government is not limited to the references submitted but may rely on other sources as well. Evaluation of Past Performance will be a subjective assessment. The Government is seeking to determine whether the offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to customer satisfaction and timely delivery of services as well as fair and reasonable pricing. The Government will evaluate the offeror's record of conforming to specifications and standards of good workmanship, and will evaluate the offeror's record on cost control/change orders and adherence to contract schedules. Subcontractor management, safety management, and other quality control programs will also be reviewed. The Government will examine the offeror's record for reasonable and cooperative behavior, commitment to customer satisfaction, and in general, the offeror's business-like concern for the interest of the customer. Offerors may be given an opportunity to address unfavorable reports of past performance, and the offeror's response will be taken into consideration. A review of CCAS and ACAS may be performed. PHASE II. EVALUATION FACTORS. Please do not respond to Phase II factors at this time. The following factors may be included Phase II. The full text will be provided in the solicitation. In Phase II: (1) the total of all Phase I and II technical/management factors; (2) Past Performance; and (3) Price, are considered equal in importance. FACTOR 5b - Subcontracting Plan FACTOR 6 - Design Solutions PRICE - Price will be evaluated during Phase II in terms of reasonableness based on a comparison of the Government Estimate and other offers received.
