48 Proposal Evaluation Overview Sylvia Aragon

Evaluation Factors for Award (Proposal Evaluation Overview) Technical Acceptability: – Acceptable – Each element will be at a level of completeness, feasibility and reasonableness where associated risks do not jeopardize an acceptable level of contract performance. All Technical Acceptability criteria must be passed to be considered technically acceptable. – Potentially Acceptable – Results when, after the initial evaluation, the evaluator anticipates additional information that could be provided by an Offeror during discussions would result in a proposal rating of acceptable. Although an Offeror may receive a rating of “Potentially Acceptable,” it does not guarantee that discussions will be held or that the Offeror will automatically be included in the competitive range if discussions are held. – Unacceptable - The proposal does not meet the government’s requirements. 49

Past Performance (Proposal Evaluation Overview) Past Performance information will be gathered from: – Reference information submitted to NASA; – References contacted directly by NASA; and – Other information NASA obtains, such as information from the Government-wide past performance database. Past Performance will be evaluated for recency and relevancy (very relevant, relevant, somewhat relevant, and not relevant). An Offeror Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings will be assigned as: – High – Moderate – Low – Very Low – Neutral 50

Cost/Price (Proposal Evaluation Overview) To ensure that the final agreed-to prices are fair and reasonable the Government will perform price analysis and will also perform cost analysis to include a cost realism analysis and cost confidence level. 51

Tradeoff Analysis (Proposal Evaluation Overview) For those Offerors who are determined to be technically acceptable, tradeoffs will be made between past performance and cost/price. Past Performance is significantly more important than cost/price. 52

54 S&MA Overview Connie Pritchard JSC Safety and Mission Assurance

Safety & Health Programs Guidelines for responding to Safety Requirements in the Request for Proposal (RFP) NASA JSC Safety and Test Operations Division

Overview of the NASA Safety Program NASA safety objective is to avoid loss of life, personal injury and illness, property loss or damage, environmental harm resulting from any of its activities and to ensure safety and healthful conditions for persons working at or visiting NASA facilities. NASA shall comply with all applicable regulations. – NASA Safety & Health requirements – Requirements of those federal agencies with regulatory authority over NASA such as OSHA, EPA, and DoT NASA requires every employee to report workplace hazards. – NASA ensures that there is no reprisal to personnel for reporting unsafe or unhealthy conditions. 56

Overview of the NASA Safety Program The NASA Safety Policy stresses the individual responsibility of each employee for their own safety and that of their co-worker. Risk within the work environment must be managed to control hazards and continuously improve workplace conditions. The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has recognized JSC as a leader in health and safety by awarding the “Star” designation level of achievement in the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). As a VPP Star, JSC has a comprehensive and successful safety and health program, is below the national average for the industry in injury/illness rates, has demonstrated good faith in dealing with OSHA, and serves as a safety & health mentor to regional industry. 57

What would be expected of you at JSC All contractors performing work at JSC shall comply with all applicable safety and health regulations. JSC does not assume the responsibility of the “employer” for contractor employees. Every major onsite contractor shall have a designated safety official and shall conform to a written safety and health plan. Failure to comply with safety and health requirements may result in contract termination, lower fee, and exclusion from future contract awards. 58

The Safety & Health Deliverables Submission of detailed safety and health data as part of the proposal. – Safety & Health Plan shall include detailed discussion of the policies, procedures, and techniques that will be used to ensure the safety and occupational health of your employees and to ensure the safety of all working conditions throughout the performance of the contract. – Statement regarding past OSHA citations will be required. – Records of OSHA recordable injuries (OSHA Logs & calculated frequency rates). – Insurance carrier information including experience modifier. 59

A Successful Safety Program Model Based on 4 Basic VPP elements defined by OSHA Region VI. Worksite Analysis Hazard Prevention and Control Management (Commitment) Employee (Involvement) Safety and Health Training 60

The Safety & Health Plan Safety & Health Plan provisions you should expect to address on a typical JSC service contract: – Management Leadership and Employee Participation  Management Commitment – demonstrable leadership via goals, objectives, and policy statements  Planning – safety is planned, it doesn’t just happen  Written Safety & Health Program  Authority and Resources – roles and responsibilities, funds, manpower (designated safety and health official, safety representative, medical contact, fire wardens)  Employee Involvement – participation at all levels  Safety & Health Program Evaluation – how is the program doing 61

The Safety & Health Plan Worksite Analysis: – Management Understanding – of hazards (recognition and response) – Industrial Hygiene – specialized area requiring technical support and coordination – Pre-use Analysis – before you use a new or modified piece of equipment or process, what has changed with respect to the hazards involved?  Hazard Analysis – of jobs, equipment, systems, processes  Routine Inspections – to catch hazardous conditions before someone is hurt  Employee Hazard Reporting – ways to encourage reporting  Accident/Incident Investigations - response, reporting and correcting negative findings 62

The Safety & Health Plan Hazard Prevention and Control – Certified Professional Resources – safety professionals and industrial hygienists – Hazard Elimination or Control  Maintain a list of hazardous operations and processes  Develop written procedures to identify safety procedures  Methods for notification of personnel – Occupational Healthcare Program – medical surveillance program, treating injuries & illnesses, case management – Disciplinary System – approach to modify behaviors – Emergency Preparedness – fire, explosion, weather 63

The Safety & Health Plan Safety and Health Training: – Program Description – describe your training program to ensure safe work practices, hazard recognition and to meet all regulatory requirements. – Tailor training toward specific audiences – managers, supervisors, employees (crafts, office workers, etc.). – Discuss certification programs – training requirements and physical conditions. – Train for emergencies – fire drills, evacuation drills, site emergencies. – Personal Protective Equipment – training in the use and care of PPE. – Training in hazard communication. 64

The Safety & Health Plan Safety and Health Goals – should be measurable Miscellaneous reports contained in body of the Data Requirement: – Statistics; mishap reports; close call reports; hazard reports; inspection reports; building fire wardens; hazardous materials inventory; roster of terminated employees; material safety data sheets; OSHA logs; program self evaluation. 65

Recommendations For the good of your employees and your business, take safety seriously and proactively plan to PREVENT injuries. Understand the data requirements. Tailor your plan to what you will do on the contract. Contact the procurement point of contact on this solicitation if you have any questions. – Any RFP requirement you feel is inappropriate for the plan, tell us why. 66
