SELECTION CRITERIA AND SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS: Each firm must address in its SF330 submittal package the following selection criteria for all proposed services under this solicitation. Evaluation criteria are listed in descending order of importance, except as noted: Evaluation Criteria (1), (2), and (3) are of equal importance to each other. Criteria (4) and (5) are of lesser importance than Criteria (1), (2), & (3) but are equal to each other in importance; and Criteria (6), (7), (8), and (9) are of equal importance to each other, and of lesser importance than Criteria (4) and (5). The Navy is announcing a total of four (4) regional CONUS requirements for Waterfront Inspection Architect-Engineer services; ultimate result will be up to four (4) separate single award IDIQ contracts to cover all CONUS Navy requirements. The slate and selection processes for the 4 CONUS regions will be conducted concurrently. Impacts to capacity due to selections for multiple regions will be considered under both Criteria (4)- Capacity and Criteria (5)- Location and will play a role in determining the number of awards to cover the 4 CONUS regions. Each CONUS award, whether this synopsis results in 1, 2, 3, or 4 awards, will be 100% set aside for small business. SF 330s will be evaluated to determine the most highly qualified firm based on criteria responses. Evaluation of past performance and experience may include information provided by the firm, customer inquiries, Government databases, and publicly available sources. Failure to provide requested data, accessible points of contact, or valid phone numbers could result in a firm being considered less qualified. All projects provided in the SF 330 (Architect-Engineer Qualifications) must be completed by the office/branch/individual team member actually performing the work under this contract. Projects not performed by the office/branch/individual team member will be excluded from evaluation consideration. SF 330, Section E, CRITERIA 1, PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS: Professional qualifications and technical competence of the personnel proposed for this contract. Professional qualifications include professional registrations and/or relevant technical certifications of the personnel assigned to the contract.

EMR and DART Rates shall not be submitted for subcontractors.) (1) Experience Modification Rate (EMR): For the three previous complete calendar years, 2008, 2009, 2010, submit your EMR (which compares your company 冱 annual losses in insurance claims against its policy premiums over a three year period). If you have no EMR, affirmatively state so, and explain why. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the EMR and upward or downward trends should be addressed as part of this element. Lower EMRs will be given greater weight in the evaluation. (2) OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate: For the three previous complete calendar years, 2008, 2009, 2010, submit your OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate, as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration. If you cannot submit an OSHA DART Rate, affirmatively state so, and explain why. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the OSHA DART Rate data and upward or downward trends should be addressed as part of this element. Lower OSHA DART Rates will be given greater weight in the evaluation. (3) Technical Approach for Safety: Describe the plan that the firm will implement to evaluate safety performance of potential subcontractors as a part of the selection process for all levels of subcontractors. Also, describe any innovative methods that the firm will employ to ensure and monitor safe work practices at all subcontractor levels. The Safety Narrative shall be limited to two pages. (b) BASIS OF EVALUATION: The Government is seeking to determine that the firm has consistently demonstrated a commitment to safety and that the firm plans to properly manage and implement safety procedures for itself and its subcontractors. The Government will evaluate the firm 冱 overall safety record, the firm 冱 plan to select and monitor subcontractors, and any innovative safety methods that the firm plans to implement for this procurement. The Government 冱 sources of information for evaluating safety may include, but are not limited to, OSHA, NAVFAC 冱 Facility Accident and Incident Reporting (FAIR) database, and other related databases. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete safety information regarding these submittal requirements rests with the firm. The evaluation will collectively consider the following: - Experience Modification Rate (EMR) - OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate - Firm Technical Approach to Safety - Other sources of information available to the Government (1) Experience Modification Rate (EMR): The Government will evaluate the EMR to determine if the Offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices, taking into account any upward or downward trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rating. Lower EMRs will be given greater weight in the evaluation. (2) OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate: The Government will evaluate the OSHA DART Rate to determine if the Offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices, taking into account any upward or downward trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rates. Lower OSHA DART Rates will be given greater weight in the evaluation. (3) Technical Approach to Safety: The Government will evaluate the narrative to determine the degree to which subcontractor safety performance will be considered in the selection of all levels of subcontractors on the upcoming project. The Government will also evaluate the narrative to determine the degree to which innovations are being proposed that may enhance safety on this procurement. Those firms whose plans demonstrate a commitment to hire subcontractors with a culture of safety and that propose innovative methods to enhance a safe working environment may be given greater weight in the evaluation.
