*These cutoff levels apply to the Interstate EMR. Hurdle rates may vary
for state EMRs and must be provided by the ES&H Supervisor. The state
rate overrides the Interstate EMR and will determine the bidders category
rating.
(i) Experience Modification Rate (EMR): An adjustment to the Workers' Compensation
experience. An experience modifier of 1.00 is the expected average for a given company
and reflects the cost of losses expected for a contractor that employs the various trades.
(ii) Hurdle Rates: A number that is set for the upper limits of each evaluation item.
(iii) Evaluation Items: EMR, IR (recordable Incident Rate), LTIR (Lost Time Incident Rate)
(iv) Incident Rate: The number of injuries, illnesses, or lost workday cases related to a
common exposure base enables one to make accurate industry comparisons, trend
analysis, overtime, or comparisons among firms regardless of size.
This rate is calculated as: N x 200,000
EH
Where:
N = number of recordable injuries and/or illnesses or lost workday cases;
EH = total hours worked by all employees during calendar year;
200,000 = base for 100 full-time equivalent employees (working 40 hours per week, 50
weeks per year)
C.
All potential offerors, lower-tier subcontractors, and teaming partners proposing to work on the
BGCAPP project site must fall in one of the three Safety Rating Categories defined above.
