(3) SAFETY: (a) Submittal Requirements: The Offeror shall submit the following information: (For a partnership or joint venture, the following submittal requirements are required for each contractor who is part of the partnership or joint venture; however, only one safety narrative is required. EMR and DART Rates shall not be submitted for subcontractors.) (A) Experience Modification Rate (EMR) For the three previous complete calendar years (2011, 2012, 2013), submit your EMR (which compares your company's 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. (B) OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate For the three previous complete calendar years (2011, 2012, 2013), 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. (C) Subcontracting Safety Narrative Describe the plan that the Offeror 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 Offeror will employ to ensure and monitor safe work practices at all subcontractor levels. The Subcontracting Safety Narrative is limited to two pages. (b) 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 Government's safety evaluation will collectively consider the following three elements for each offeror: (1) Experience Modification Rate; (2) OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate; and (3) Subcontracting Safety Narrative. (A) 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 evaluated more favorably. For consistency, as a general guideline, the Government will use the table below to assist in evaluating the EMRs of the offerors. Risk EMR Very Low Risk Less than 0.6 Low Risk From 0.6 to less than 0.8 Moderate Risk From 0.8 to 1.0 High Risk Greater than1.0 to 1.1 Extremely High Risk Greater than 1.1 (B) 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 evaluated more favorably. For consistency, as a general guideline, the Government will use the table below to assist in evaluating the DART rates of the offerors. 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 (C) Subcontracting Safety Narrative The Government will evaluate the subcontracting safety 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 effectiveness of the methods that the Offeror will employ to ensure and monitor safe work practices at all subcontractor levels. (4) PAST PERFORMANCE: Past performance on projects of similar size and scope and location, CONUS and OCONUS. Demonstrated long-term government or private business relationships, repeat business on related efforts and construction support are valued. Provide a listing of all excellent performance ratings and letters of commendation from both private and Department of Defense (DOD) clients (designate your role: prime, consultant, or joint venture partner). Ratings must be within the last five (5) years. (5) QUALITY CONTROL: A narrative of the firm's quality control methods outlining specific personnel (including their discipline/specialty) and procedures for above- water field inspections and diving operations, technical report preparation, structural assessments, analysis and design services is required for review. Of special interest are the QC processes in place that minimize the Governments effort to QA the firm's work product for errors, omissions, and quality. (6) CAPACITY: Capacity to accomplish the work, including multiple task orders, in the required time. Submission Requirement: a) For each design team firm, list all current projects being designed in the design team firm ™s office with a current design fee of greater than $500,000. For each project, identify the current design fee, the current stage of design, and the anticipated design completion date. Indicate the firm ™s present workload and the availability of the project team (including subconsultants) for the specified contract performance period; b) For each design team, describe experience in successfully delivering projects per performance schedule, providing timely construction support, and successfully completing multiple projects with similar delivery dates; and c) Discuss how surge workload would be managed. Firms will be evaluated on the extent to which they identify their approach to managing subcontractors in support of executing planned and emergent workload requirements for the Navy. (7) LOCATION: Firm ™s experience working in diverse cultural and technical environments (provided that application of this criterion leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the contract). Firm ™s access to and, to the extent feasible, demonstrated knowledge of the general geographical areas in which projects could be located. Indicate locations of firm ™s main offices, branch offices, and sub-consultants ™ offices. Describe and illustrate the team ™s knowledge and availability to meet project requirements on a worldwide basis. Firms will be evaluated with respect to the general geographical area of the contract and their knowledge of local codes, laws, permits and construction practices of the area of the contract. (8) SUSTAINABLE DESIGN: Firms will be evaluated in terms of their knowledge and demonstrated experience in applying sustainability concepts through an integrated design approach and designing in accordance with the U. S. Green Building Council, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System.
