SECTION 4 - PROVISIONS

PROVISIONS INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

RFO 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors—Commercial Products and Commercial Services. (MAR 2026)

(a) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. As a minimum, offers shall include—

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The name, address, telephone number of the Offeror;

(3) The Offeror’s Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and, if applicable, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) indicator;

(4) Information necessary to evaluate the factors contained in the provision at 52.212-2 or as described in the solicitation;

(5) Responses to provisions that require Offeror completion of information, representations, and certifications (other than those collected via the System for Award Management (SAM)); and

(6) A statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation and any solicitation amendments.

Offerors must submit an acceptable Bid Guarantee (SF 24 Bid Bond or acceptable alternative per FAR 52.228-1) in the amount of 20% of the total proposed price along with their offer by the solicitation closing date and time specified in Block

13a of the SF 1442. Quotes received without a valid bid guarantee will be determined non-responsive and excluded from evaluation.

(b) Period for acceptance of offers. The Offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(c) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers and any modifications or revisions to the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.

(2) Any offer, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the

Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(4) Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time before award.

(d) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(e) Debriefings. If a postaward debriefing is given to requesting Offerors, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable:

(1) The agency’s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed Offeror’s offer.

(2) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful Offeror and the debriefed Offeror and past performance information on the debriefed Offeror.

(3) The overall ranking of all Offerors when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

(4) A summary of the rationale for award.

(5) For acquisitions of commercial products, the make and model of the product to be delivered by the successful Offeror.

(6) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed Offeror as to whether the agency followed source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities.

(End of provision)

o The quoter must explicitly identify and provide qualifications for a certified, independent testing subcontractor who will perform the mandatory 92% or greater asphalt density testing and 95% or greater shoulder backing maximum density testing required by the SOW.

• Equipment & Operational Resource Sufficiency:

o The quoter must provide an equipment inventory or operational narrative demonstrating immediate access to a commercial asphalt paver, a pavement sawcutter (for straight-line full-depth repairs), a tack coat distributor, and compaction equipment capable of achieving specified densities.

• Material Specification Conformance:

o The quoter must provide a written commitment or preliminary mix design sheet confirming that all contractor-furnished materials will strictly meet project specifications, including 3/8-inch NMAS PG64-10 Hot Mix Asphalt

• ADA/ABA Compliance Execution Strategy:

o The quoter must provide a brief, acceptable technical narrative detailing their engineering approach to Task 5

(Pavement Conformance at the HEC Barn). The narrative must demonstrate an understanding of how to construct a smooth, ADA-compliant transition using grinding or tapering with no vertical deviation greater than 0.25 inches over 10 feet.

• Schedule Realism & Operational Constraints:

o The schedule and narrative must explicitly account for the regular working hour constraints (8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays) and outline standard best management practices (BMPs) to prevent sediment tracking into the adjacent salmon habitat.

FACTOR 2: PRICE

Price will be evaluated based on the total overall cost submitted in the Quote Schedule. Quotes will be assessed for mathematical accuracy and completeness across all CLINs. The Contracting Officer will evaluate the total proposed price to ensure it is fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 12.203 and simplified acquisition parameters.

In the event of a tie, the Contracting Officer has the discretion to determine how the tie will be resolved. The Contracting Officer may assess which quote is more advantageous to the Government or may apply the guidance provided in FAR 14 and 15.

(b) Proocedures and Communication

In accordance with FAR 12.203, the Contracting Officer reserves the right to communicate with any, all, or none of the quoters regarding technical or pricing details, and may request revised quotations without being required to hold formal discussions or open a formal competitive range.

(c) Late Submissions

Per FAR 12.203(c)(1), the Contracting Officer reserves the right to exercise good business judgment in deciding whether or not to accept a quotation or modification received after the exact closing date and time specified in this solicitation.

(d) Options (if applicable). The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(e) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
